While the first round of the game was in progress, Xu Xinduo was still choosing a racket. She felt that the racket she had just picked up was not suitable. The school provides rackets, but everyone uses them. They are all old and not very good. Some of the sweatbands are loose.
People like Yin Shaoshu who always play tennis bring their own rackets, which makes them easier and more comfortable to use.
Xu Xinduo was choosing a racket on the spot before the game, as if she was just there to join in the fun, which made Yin Shaoshu curl his lips.
The choice of racket mainly depends on the racket face and handle, weight, and racket length.
Players who have been playing tennis for a long time will have their own racket faces. For example, a large racket face is less likely to miss, but it affects the speed.
As for the handle of the racket, if it is too thin, you cannot hold it firmly and the opponent's heavy ball can easily knock the racket over.
Xu Xinduo picked up the racket and weighed it for a while, then looked at the racket face. Suddenly, he heard Yin Shaoshu say, "You should choose a light head racket, which is easier to control."
Xu Xinduo brought a racket and was weighing it, shaking his head: "A light head racket is prone to tennis arm."
"You really focus on participation."
After Xu Xinduo finished her selection, she turned around and looked outside the fence. She couldn't help but feel surprised when she saw the people watching the game.
Why are there so many people?
Ka Wah International School is quite famous for its tennis. It often participates in national and even international competitions. There are also many people watching tennis in the school. However, when she rushed over just now, she also noticed that many people were leaving. After all, some people only wanted to watch the men's competition, and when the men's group left, they left too.
Why are there suddenly so many people here? Even if it is the time for interest classes, some people choose not to go, and the number of people is not reasonable.
Then she saw Mu Qingyi and Shao Qinghe were there too.
Mu Qingyi pursed her lips, still looking as arrogant as usual. Only Shao Qinghe smiled and waved at her.
Xu Xinduo nodded to Shao Qinghe, then stood aside to watch the game while doing warm-up exercises, waiting to go on stage.
After Xu Xinduo came on the court, Yin Shaoshu tilted his head to look at the way Xu Xinduo held the racket. It was an oriental way of holding the racket, which was suitable for beginners.
The grip he usually uses is a semi-Western style, which makes it easier to exert force and helps to add rotation.
The normal way of holding the racket tends to be the most commonly used grip method. Based on this, Yin Shaoshu thinks Xu Xinduo is probably a novice. He planned to leave after seeing Xu Xinduo lose.
As a result, after the game started, Xu Xinduo changed her state. Her usual style was offensive, fierce and fierce.
This time she knew she didn't have the physical advantage, so she changed her strategy.
In the opening game when the opponent was serving, Xu Xinduo's strategy was to hold the ball first and control the opponent's ball, so that the opponent could not pose a threat in the serving game.
First make the opponent lose his composure, then score a point with a light little ball.
Soon the opponent discovered Xu Xinduo's tricks when playing. Xu Xinduo used different strengths when hitting back.
If the force is too strong, the ball may go out of bounds after the return; if the force is too weak, the ball may be easily flipped.
When Xu Xinduo was playing, she even seemed to be playing tricks on her opponents, making it difficult for them to figure out her moves.
Yin Shaoshu, who was about to leave, actually stayed and watched for a while. He was quite silent at first, but then he suddenly sighed: "The angle of this serve is amazing, it's directly on the sideline, it's really good."
He was praising Xu Xinduo.
He is on the school tennis team and is familiar with the level of the students in the school, so he has no interest in watching other people's games.
It's rare for him to have someone he can praise.
Xu Xinduo has a very good grasp of power and is a smart player. She would stare at her opponent and then hit the ball in the opposite direction of her opponent's prediction. The opponent's body did not turn around at all, and Xu Xinduo had already scored.
Her line changes were also much stronger than her opponent's, resulting in a basically one-sided crushing in the later stages of the game.
The match was a best-of-three format, and Xu Xinduo won two sets in a row to win the match.
After leaving the court, Xu Xinduo put the racket aside, then walked towards Tong Yan at the fence and said, "Tong Yan, I'm sweating."
Tong Yan understood with just one sentence, took off his school uniform jacket, and threw it over the fence.
After Xu Xinduo caught it on the field, he put Tong Yan's coat on himself and then walked lazily out of the field.
Many people who came to watch the game saw this scene.
Mu Qingyi looked away after reading it, and noticed that Shao Qinghe was laughing. He knew that Shao Qinghe was probably imagining some melodramatic drama again, and couldn't help feeling helpless.
The competition is an elimination system. She only needs to finish this game. There will be no more competitions today.
We have held several table tennis matches before, and today happens to be the finals. Today is the tennis qualifiers, and the combination of the two makes Xu Xinduo a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, the opponent in this game is very weak.
At least in Xu Xinduo's opinion, it was very weak.
After Xu Xinduo finished the game, Yin Shaoshu went back to the classroom with his tennis racket.
Mu Qingyi and Shao Qinghe also came to watch Xu Xinduo's game and left after watching.
After Xu Xinduo met up with Tong Yan, Lou Xu and the others, he did not stay long and prepared to return to the classroom.
Tong Yan took out a tissue and wiped the sweat off Xu Xinduo's forehead. He asked her, "Why don't you just not participate? With your physical condition, participating in an outdoor competition is like courting death. You'll easily catch a cold."
Xu Xinduo seemed to be an all-rounder, but in fact, she had a poor physical foundation and poor immunity. She caught a cold every year, and he had fallen ill for her countless times.
It is indeed a bit difficult for someone with this physique to participate in this kind of competition.
Xu Xinduo shook her head: "It's good to get some bonus."
Tong Yan felt a little helpless, but he couldn't say anything.
Mu family.
Mu Qingyi and Mu Qingyao sat side by side at the dining table. Although they were sitting together, they did not say a word. Just half a year ago, the relationship between the two was not like this.
Mu's mother also noticed this situation. She felt upset and didn't know what to say.
Father Mu was the last to enter the restaurant. After he came in and sat down, he looked at Xu Xinduo's empty chair with a gloomy face and said, "Take away her chair. Since she has left this house, there is no need to reserve a seat for her."
Mother Mu pushed Father Mu's arm, signaling him not to say such things. Every time Mu Qingyi heard it, she would look displeased.
Father Mu was also angry that Xu Xinduo left without saying anything. He planned to cut off Xu Xinduo's pocket money directly, and when Xu Xinduo couldn't make it outside, she would come back.
Mother Mu was very worried. It was always unsafe for Xu Xinduo to be a girl outside. What if Xu Xinduo goes astray for money? Especially since Xu Xinduo was pretty, she was even more worried.
Mu's mother wanted Mu Qingyi to persuade Xu Xinduo to come back, but Mu Qingyi refused, saying that she couldn't afford to lose face. He could see that Xu Xinduo was in such a state that she wished the Mu family would let her go and pretend they didn't know her.
Mu Qingyao even said that Xu Xinduo had never liked her, and her persuasion had the opposite effect.
Mother Mu thought that she would go to school to find Xu Xinduo in a few days. After all, she was the daughter of the Mu family and had to come back to live.
Before dinner, Father Mu asked, "The test results are out, how did you two do this time?"
When Mu Qingyao mentioned this, her face darkened. She turned her head and secretly glanced at Mu Qingyi, and replied, "The test results were OK. I didn't improve, but I didn't regress either."
Father Mu said, "Well, I'm not too worried about your studies, but there is still room for improvement. One day you will catch up with your brother."
Father Mu finally felt happier when he mentioned this matter. Others said that his children were excellent, and Mu Qingyi was naturally excellent in both character and academics. Mu Qingyao is also outstanding in study and piano, and is a well-known good kid in the circle.
Father Mu asked Mu Qingyi again: "Xiaoyi is the first again this time, right?"
"It's the second place." Mu Qingyi replied coldly.
Father Mu was a little surprised: "Huh? Qinghe surpassed you?"
"No, the first one is Xu Xinduo."
The restaurant suddenly became quiet.
Mu Qingyao actually didn’t want her family to know about this matter, and her previous answer was vague. In the end, Mu Qingyi said it anyway, and she could only continue eating in silence.
She didn't want to visit her parents and hated the feeling of being outdone.
What she hated most was that Xu Xinduo was better than her.
After a moment, Mu's mother asked with a trembling voice: "Is Duoduo doing well in his studies?"
"Well, her total score is six points higher than mine."
"Isn't she from the international class? Why is she taking your exam?"
"She missed the first exam for the international class, and she didn't have enough credits at the end of the year, so she came to take the regular class exam. The scores of international class students taking the regular class exam will be counted as half of the international class credits."
Mother Mu nodded, somewhat distraught.
This is something I should be happy about, but I can't be happy. I have mixed feelings in my heart and I can't explain it.
She then asked: "What has Duoduo been doing in school recently? How is her condition?"
“Trying to compete.”
"Competition? What competition?"
"a lot of."
"she……"
Seeing Mu's mother's confusion, Mu Qingyi explained again: "Winning the school competition will get you prize money and credits. She must need the money."
Father Mu felt embarrassed and couldn't help but mutter, "What can she do? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if she went out?!"
Mu Qingyi said: "No, she always won first place in every competition she participated in."
"First place? With the teaching conditions she had before, what kind of venue could she have? Could she have gotten first place?"
Mu Qingyi: "Table tennis and Sanda are the first, and the current competition is tennis."
"Sanda?!" Father Mu was incredulous. "How could she learn Sanda? Besides, it's good enough to have badminton in the countryside, but also tennis?"
Mu Qingyi looked at Father Mu and asked in a deep voice, "Why can't you admit her excellence?"
Father Mu still didn't believe it: "How is it possible?! How could she have so many things when she grew up like that?"
"It's out of your control. It's hard to accept, isn't it?"
"Mu Qingyi, what do you mean!?"
"You suddenly realize that your daughter is just as good even if she wasn't raised by you. You realize that she will still be able to live a good life even without you in the future. Do you feel frustrated?"
Father Mu likes to control the people around him, and he controls Mother Mu tightly.
After he brought Xu Xinduo back, he found that Xu Xinduo was out of control at all, so he wanted to frustrate her.
He would slander her in details, making her dislike her previous life and think that the Mu family was really good.
He didn't care too much about Xu Xinduo leaving the Mu family. He thought that Xu Xinduo would suffer after leaving and would come back to beg them if she couldn't make it.
At that time, Xu Xinduo would no longer care about the unfairness of his status and would obediently change his name.
He just wanted Xu Xinduo to have a taste of the sweetness and see how excellent the child he raised was, so that he would know how good it was to be with his biological parents.
He could double the compensation for Xu Xinduo because he also wanted to take care of Xu Xinduo. After all, even if there was no family affection, there was still a blood relationship.
The prerequisite is that she has to be obedient.
He was very satisfied with Mu Qingyao's obedience.
As a result, Xu Xinduo was better than all the children he raised.
How is that possible! !
The child raised by that semi-illiterate old lady!
Such terrible teaching conditions!
How is that possible?
"Did she get a lot of bonuses?" Father Mu asked again.
Mu Qingyi: "Currently it's about 6,000 yuan."
Father Mu thought that the money left in the card and the bonus she earned would probably be enough for her to live for a while, so it would be difficult to get her back, so he said angrily: "She has to come back!"
Mu Qing also raised his eyes and asked, "To visit the Tong family?"
Father Mu did not answer.
Mu Qingyi lost his appetite, stood up, pointed at Mu Qingyao and said, "You can take her with you and ask Teacher Yin if she likes her. What if... Teacher Yin is philanthropic?"
"What nonsense?"
"I'm full." Mu Qingyi didn't even move his chopsticks. He left the restaurant and went upstairs.
Mu Qingyao hadn't spoken a word the entire time, but suddenly she burst into tears. She wiped her tears, quickly put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm done eating too."
Then he went upstairs to his room, and faint sounds of crying could be heard from the room.
Father Mu was very annoyed: "One of them always has a gloomy face, as if I owe him something. The other one just cries every day. Why didn't I realize that she is so like Lin Daiyu before? Lin Daiyu is beautiful and intelligent, but she can't even compare to a girl who grew up in the countryside!"
At this time, Father Mu couldn't help but materialize his children in his heart, and suddenly realized that they seemed to have angered away his own children who were better in every way.
The one who had no blood relationship with them and was inferior in appearance, learning, conversation, etc. was left behind...
Mother Mu actually refuted in a rare move: "It's all because of you! This family is in this situation now because of you!"
"Because of me? Don't you have any problems at all? As a mother, you can't even take care of your own child. Do you know how to do anything else besides going to the beauty salon every day?!"
The Mu family's parents had a huge argument over this.
It's time for her menstrual period again. Xu Xinduo's premenstrual symptoms are very obvious, and she is considered experienced. So she made preparations before her period was about to come and took the painkillers in advance some time after lunch.
She first attended the elective course of the international class, then wandered around the multimedia building with a picture album, and then looked towards the Go classroom.
As a result, as soon as he took a look, his eyes met with Shao Qinghe's in the classroom.
Shao Qinghe has always been consistent, he looks gentle and amiable, always smiling. The interest classes I participated in included tea ceremony, calligraphy, and Go.
Before Xu Xinduo swiped her card, she was a little hesitant about whether to enter the classroom. Unexpectedly, Shao Qinghe took the initiative to come out and asked, "Why? Want to participate in the Go competition?"
Xu Xinduo's desperate efforts in participating in the competition have become well-known far and wide.
Xu Xinduo sighed and replied: "I'm still hesitating."
"how?"
"I can play Go, but I don't necessarily know how to win. Participating in a Go competition requires one class hour, and I may not win, so the tuition fee for this class is wasted."
"How about... give it a try? I'll play a round with you."
"May I?"
Shao Qinghe was also familiar with these interest classes, after all, he came here often. After greeting the teacher, he asked Xu Xinduo to help him move a chessboard out of the classroom.
The two men placed the chessboard on the table and chairs in the corridor where students rested, and then sat down facing each other.
Xu Xinduo plays the black pieces, and Shao Qinghe plays the white pieces.
The corridor is not as cold as the classroom and is a bit colder.
It is November now. There is heating in the classrooms and corridors, but because of the large area, the temperature is not high and it will be a bit cold if you sit for a long time.
Shao Qinghe was thin and wore a white school shirt, a neatly tied tie, and a dark blue sweater jacket. When it's cold, reach out and put the shawl on your shoulders and stretch out your hands to cool down.
His skin was abnormally white, his fingers were slender and long, and when he held the cup, his hands really had a sense of tenderness. Although they were obviously a boy's hands, they were slender enough and somewhat delicate.
Xu Xinduo has always been afraid of the cold, so when she came here, she was wearing her own sweater and jacket, and she also put on Tong Yan's sweater and jacket. After wearing two layers, she finally felt comfortable.
I feel okay at this moment.
Many people in the school have gradually become familiar with the relationship between Xu Xinduo and Tong Yan. Although the two have been denying it, Xu Xinduo wears Tong Yan's coat every day, and the two are inseparable. Many people have their own guesses about what is going on.
When they were really playing chess, Xu Xinduo felt the gap. She would think carefully about every move and stare at the chessboard for a long time.
But Shao Qinghe was obviously someone who played chess frequently, an old hand, and had a good brain. He could make a move quickly, and then stared at Xu Xinduo with great interest.
It is said that everyone has their own expertise, and Xu Xinduo soon realized that she could not win.
She looked at the chessboard and saw that the outcome was already decided. She subconsciously slapped her thigh, but still admitted that Shao Qinghe was indeed amazing.
Shao Qinghe smiled and asked her: "I thought you were omnipotent, but now you have encountered all my shortcomings?"
"Not really. I signed up for classes I was confident in. After all, the tuition is quite expensive."
"You need money?"
Xu Xinduo looked at Shao Qinghe. She didn't believe that Shao Qinghe didn't know that she had moved out and broke up with the Mu family.
This squinty eye is very bad!
However, Shao Qinghe said nothing, but just looked at her tenderly.
Then she replied, “I guess so.”
"Actually, I have a way to help you."
"What?" Xu Xinduo raised his eyebrows.
Shao Qinghe introduced with a smile: "My family runs an entertainment company, and there are many idol stars in the company."
Xu Xinduo was a little surprised. Shao Qinghe seemed to be completely inconsistent with the image of a second-generation rich man in an entertainment company. Then she smiled and refused: "Forget it, I'm not good at that."
"Yes, your face is suitable for modeling. How tall are you?"
model?
Xu Xinduo hesitated for a moment and answered: "175 cm."
"Although you are a little short, you are still at the minimum standard. Plus, your aura, image and figure are all good, so you can give it a try."
"What kind of model?"
"You can be a print model, do catwalk shows, get endorsements, shoot commercials, etc. Or you can become an internet celebrity and open a Taobao store to sell clothes. However, our company does not have the business of packaging internet celebrities. If you are interested, I can help you ask around. There are a lot of multimedia companies like this recently, and our company should be affiliated with a few of them."
“Can students?”
"It's definitely not the right time for a fashion show, but if you're a print model, you can work overtime or on weekends. Aren't you not going to cram school? For you, it's two days off a week."
"You're not wearing anything...are you?"
Shao Qinghe understood what Xu Xinduo meant, but smiled and answered in a low voice: "National policy does not allow it, Sister Duoduo."
Xu Xinduo needed to think about it again, so she asked: "Can I add you on WeChat? I'll contact you when I need you."
"Sure, but if you want me to help you, I need to be paid."
"A cut of the income?" Xu Xinduo immediately became alert.
"No, I want cookies that you made yourself."
“I still remember it…” Xu Xinduo muttered as he scanned Shao Qinghe’s code, added Shao Qinghe as a friend, and then stood up and continued to wander around the multimedia building.
Shao Qinghe was not in the classroom. It was a bit late to go in now, so he sat in the corridor and watched Xu Xinduo.
Then I saw Xu Xinduo was like a female agent. After finding the classroom, she stood at the back door or the windshield and looked inside, wanting to see if she could go to the competition.
Once you are sure you cannot win, go to the next classroom.
She is not omnipotent.
She was just being cautious.
Shao Qinghe looked at Xu Xinduo's back as she walked away and couldn't help laughing. He found Xu Xinduo more and more interesting.
pain.
When walking back from the multimedia teaching building, Xu Xinduo felt the abdominal pain starting.
It’s strange. She had taken medicine in advance, but why didn’t it have any effect? She was in so much pain that she couldn’t walk.
Before he could walk back to the classroom, Xu Xinduo could only sit on the sofa in the multimedia building to rest for a while.
The students in the multimedia building gradually emptied out, and the cleaners came to clean the hall. It was somewhat empty, and even colder after being deserted. She slowly took out her medicine and took a look at it, then she realized that something was wrong with the painkillers.
The medicine she brought this time was in the form of capsules. The light blue and dark blue capsules usually had the name of the medicine printed in very small letters.
But the medicine in her bag was still packaged as painkillers, and there was no printing on the capsules.
She realized almost instantly that someone had entered her room, rummaged through her things, and saw the painkillers.
The man carefully made the packaging of the medicine, making it exactly the same, but the capsules inside were not painkillers. When she took it, she didn't pay much attention to it. After squeezing out the medicine, she put it directly into her mouth and swallowed it with water.
She didn't even know what medicine she had just taken.
She took the medicine directly from the Mu family's bedside table.
After she brought the medicine to the new house, it was impossible for anyone else to have touched it. The problem could only have occurred when she was at the Mu family.
Not only did the room in that house not belong to her, but someone else could come and go as she pleased. The thought of it made her feel angry and heartbroken.
She was shaking with anger and her body was in so much pain that she had no strength left. She could only force herself to stand up and walk towards the school infirmary, holding on to the wall.
Her lips turned pale and she felt really uncomfortable. She took out her phone and sent a voice message to Tong Yan: "I'm in the multimedia building. I need to go to the infirmary. My stomach hurts so badly."
Tong Yan quickly replied: "Where are you? The multimedia building is a circle, and it takes a long time to go around it!"
She didn't have the energy to send a message, so she sent a shared location.
She continued walking towards the infirmary, but her vision became blurry for a while and then she fainted in the corridor.
When Tong Yan ran over, Xu Xinduo had already fallen in the corridor. She was obviously afraid of the cold, but she was lying on the cold ground. Two students beside her came over to watch and discussed whether to call an ambulance.
Tong Yan's heart almost stopped when he saw Xu Xinduo fainting. He quickly ran over and hugged Xu Xinduo and ran out. His family's car was parked at the school gate.
It was school time and there was almost no one in the multimedia building and the teaching building. Students were gathered at the school gate, looking for their own cars.
Tong Yan ran out of the crowd quickly holding Xu Xinduo in his arms. He was in a hurry and did not stop for a moment. If someone blocked his way, he would turn sideways and ruthlessly knock them away with his shoulder, while trying his best to protect Xu Xinduo.
"Fuck! Get out of here!" Tong Yan cursed, then walked through the crowd and found that Xu Xinduo's car was parked closer, so he got into Xu Xinduo's fan's Porsche.
Deyu usually had nothing to do, so he came early to take a good place to pick up Xu Xinduo, and this time he made a contribution.
After Tong Yan got in the car, he said to De Yu, "Let's go to the hospital."
Deyu didn't ask any more questions. He started the car and said, "You pay the violation fee!"
After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.
Deyu usually drives quite gently, mainly because there is a pretty girl riding in the car and Deyu is willing to chat, so he drives more steadily.
In fact, when she drives herself, she drives very aggressively.
This time he had a legitimate reason and drove the car recklessly.
Tong Yan had been sitting next to Xu Xinduo, steadying her body. The car was very cool, a sports car, but the four-seat back seat was really uncomfortable.
Tong Yan simply held Xu Xinduo in his arms, fearing that Xu Xinduo would die, and was still pressing Xu Xinduo's pulse.
He wanted to use his phone to check if there were any cases of girls dying from menstrual cramps...
