After hanging up the phone, Zhao Si was still unhappy. Although Gu Lingfeng believed him in the end, he still felt sad because Gu Lingfeng's trust in him was not firm.
"What's wrong?" Su Nan asked when he saw that Zhao Si's smiling face turned into a listless look while answering the phone.
Zhao Si shook his head and said nothing.
Su Nan knew it was Gu Lingfeng who was calling, because he had only seen Zhao Si contacting Gu Lingfeng. He was a little puzzled. Aren't Gu Lingfeng and Zhao Si that kind of relationship? How could Gu Lingfeng seem to scold Zhao Si even though he won so impressively?
Is this the legendary PUA?
Su Nan shuddered, it turned out that even rich people's thighs were not so easy to hug...
The competition of the third group ended smoothly in Su Nan's imagination. The first place was Team 10, a combination of three men and one woman, all of whom were handsome men and beautiful women. This combination was very strong, and they also won a place in the previous two-person three-legged race.
Although there will be a first place winner in each group of competition, it is not certain whether they can make it into the top three in the end. We still have to look at the results of all 12 teams.
The first place was Team 6, which is Zhao Si and Su Nan’s team, with a time of 1 minute 33.44 seconds.
The second place was Team 8, which is Chen Chuang's team, with a time of 1 minute 40.31 seconds.
The third place was Team 10, the champion team of the third group, with a time of 1 minute 42 seconds 01, but unfortunately lost.
After the rankings were announced, netizens began to discuss them.
"Looks like Team 6 isn't very fast, right?"
"Are you stupid? Even if Zhao Si runs faster, he won't be much faster with three of his burdens!"
"Can the person in front please speak properly? Our baby is not a burden!"
"Team 10 seems pretty strong too, even taking second place in the three-legged race."
"Nonsense! Team 10 has two athletes and one dancer. That girl is also a swimming champion, so her physical fitness must be top-notch!"
After the morning competition, the program team took them back to the dormitory by bus for lunch and nap, and then went to a nearby table tennis venue for competition in the afternoon.
The lunch prepared by the program team was quite good, with a large table filled with it. They saw it as soon as they opened the door. Everyone was tired and hungry, so they didn't bother to be polite and ran straight to the table to eat.
Zhao Si ate very voraciously, one chopstick left and one chopstick right. He quickly finished three bowls of rice in silence and left the table to take a shower. The remaining seven people looked at him in amazement as he entered the house.
"What's wrong with him?" Qin Dong put a piece of vegetable into his mouth elegantly and asked casually.
"Yes, Sunan, what's wrong with Xiao Si? He is not happy even though he won?" Shu Qiao secretly rolled his eyes at Qin Dong and asked.
Su Nan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. Even if he did, he couldn't say it. He couldn't just say that Zhao Si was scolded by his sponsor, could he? Su Nan took a bite of the braised pork, his achievements and fame hidden.
When Su Nan finished his meal and entered the room, Zhao Si had already finished his shower and was lying on the bed. His hair was still wet. He lay sideways on the bed with his hair dropped to the side of the bed, standing straight and motionless, which scared Su Nan.
A man who has been heartbroken is really scary. Su Nan shook his head and went to take a shower.
The table tennis match was held in an indoor gymnasium near the villa. Many official competitions are held in this venue and the conditions are very good.
Table tennis has no set number of participants; everyone registers on their own, and teams can have zero or more participants. The competition is an elimination system, with opponents determined by drawing lots and playing against each other in pairs. The winner advances to the next round, and the next round repeats until the finals.
There are quite a lot of players who have registered, 28 boys and 15 girls. As a country with a strong table tennis culture, basically everyone can play table tennis, it’s just a matter of how well they play.
In the first round of the draw, the boys were divided into 14 groups and the girls into 7. The single girl who emerged advanced directly to the next round. Zhao Si's opponent was Shang Yu, the fair and tender glass doll from Team 7. To the naked eye, it didn't look like she would be under much pressure.
Table tennis matches are quite technically demanding, so Souxun invited several professional table tennis college athletes to serve as referees, and also invited an Olympic champion to serve as the chief referee, namely Liu Tian, who was seen in the live broadcast by some netizens before. He was a member of the national team and just retired this year.
The arena was large, with four groups competing simultaneously, live streamed from multiple cameras, allowing viewers to choose which matches to watch. Zhao Si was in the first group, standing in front of the stage, imitating Shang Yu's example as he held his table tennis paddle. Sunan, who hadn't signed up, watched from the sidelines; he had no interest in sports.
The game started, Shang Yu got the serve first, and Zhao Si stared at the small yellow ball nervously.
Caught it!
···It's too early to pick up the phone···
Zhao Si was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He caught the ping-pong ball before it even hit the table and went out of bounds.
Shang Yu: “…?”
Sunan: “???”
referee:"······"
Gu Lingfeng: “…”
Netizen: “······” Is there anyone in our country who can’t play table tennis?
Zhao Si reacted and realized that he had watched a table tennis match on the sports channel. At this time, he also remembered that the ball had to bounce on the table before being caught. He was just too nervous and forgot about it for a moment.
Zhao Si touched his nose and smiled shyly, "Sorry, I was too nervous just now."
Shang Yu also smiled at him, "It's okay, then I'll continue serving." Anyway, I scored, so I don't mind if you receive every ball like this, Shang Yu thought silently.
Shang Yu served the ball again, and this time Zhao Si caught it successfully, but it went out of bounds again, and Shang Yu scored again.
Next it was Zhao Si's turn to serve. He threw the little yellow ball high up and hit it successfully, and then... it went out of bounds again, and Shang Yu scored again.
