When Xu Zhaozhao returned to her seat in the audience, the competition officially began.
"Go, little fishy brother!"
"Friendship first, competition second, don't get injured!"
...
As dusk fell, the students at Hope Primary School finished their classes. Many of them chose not to go home so early, but instead stayed to watch this impromptu volleyball match.
Xu Zhaozhao also sat in the audience with an excited expression, paying close attention to the developments on the field.
The Hope Primary School team serves first.
Thud—
The volleyball flew gracefully over the net and landed on the other side.
They were definitely not as professional and coordinated as the four players on the other side, all of whom were looking up and keeping a close eye on the volleyball's movements.
"Brother Lele, it's flown over to your side!"
Xiao Kai shouted loudly, creating a very tense atmosphere.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lele jumped up and hit the volleyball that was flying towards her with her big hand.
Despite her small and thin appearance, Lele possesses a formidable strength.
The volleyball, after being hit back, grazed the net and struck the ground near an opposing player who was diving towards it!
Wow~
Cheers erupted from the crowd as Gu Yulin's team scored the first point!
Xu Zhaozhao was particularly excited, the colorful ball she hadn't put back in her hand flying haphazardly in the air.
[This is hilarious! I was watching the volleyball match very seriously, but Xu Zhaozhao is so funny!]
Xu Zhaozhao... doesn't seem like she's very smart...
[Lele is amazing! Didn't that Xiao guy say he was terrible at sports? That's complete nonsense.]
[It was just luck. The Hope Primary School volleyball team has won the provincial championship before; this match was a foregone conclusion.]
...
The opposing team didn't show much emotional fluctuation after losing a point.
In the second game, it was Gu Yulin's turn to serve.
Everyone's attention turned to Lele without prior arrangement.
After the last game, we all know that Lele is the best volleyball player among them!
Lele didn't say anything, but walked over to the referee and took the ball.
He tossed the volleyball up and slammed it down.
The volleyball, flying through the air, grazed the net and hurtled towards the other side.
It's a tennis ball!
However, the opposing team was a professional volleyball team, and they anticipated the play and returned the ball.
Unexpectedly, Lele, who was guarding the opposite side, hit the ball again, and it grazed the net and went to the other side!
"Oh~"
The audience gasped in surprise.
Two consecutive tennis balls!
The other side failed to catch it, and the ball fell to the ground at a very slow speed.
Gu Yulin's team has scored another point.
At this point, the expressions of the opposing volleyball team members became more serious.
After a short break, Qin Yueling handed Xiao Kai water and a towel.
"Xiao Kai, are you tired? Wipe your sweat and have some water."
Before Xiao Kai could speak, Qin Yueling continued, "Although I can't compete with you, I will always cheer for you in my heart!"
Xiao Kai drank his water and didn't answer.
[Sigh, all she does is talk the talk. Is this the mindset of a TV Queen?]
[Lingling is such a good mother! Unlike Xu Zhaozhao, who sits in her seat and doesn't move an inch.]
Is it possible for fish to drink water on their own?
...
The halftime break was short, and the second half of the game started soon after.
On the field, the tall, thin boy looked at Gu Yulin and said with a smile, "We've finally met our match!"
As he spoke, he tossed the volleyball in his hand into the air, and it spun towards the other side.
It's a spinning ball!
They were circling in the air, and I thought they were going to miss.
Just as the volleyball was about to hit the ground, Gu Yulin lunged towards it and managed to catch it.
The chubby boy next to him also reacted quickly, striking forward and hitting the volleyball back.
This kind of scene often played out in subsequent competitions.
On the other side, the ball was received methodically, while on the other side, it was like four fish splashing around on the field trying to catch it.
But they seem to be blessed by the god of luck, catching the ball no matter where it lands.
Every time they hit the ball, the audience held their breath until they finally struck it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
[They have four free agents on the other side! I'm not kidding!]
I can't take it anymore, watching this volleyball match is making it hard for me to breathe.
Although their professionalism was no match for their opponents, they still played with great seriousness! That's true sportsmanship! I'm so moved!
[Lele looks so thin and frail, I never expected her to be such a good volleyball player! She's good at math and volleyball too—she's truly an ideal child!]
...
The comments section is buzzing with discussion.
Ultimately, he was still a step behind. A ball flew straight towards Xiao Kai's face, and he instinctively dodged but failed to catch it.
This time, the opposing team scored.
The moment the volleyball hit the ground, the audience felt a sense of emptiness.
"It's okay, let's try again!"
Gu Yulin's gaze was firm, and his hair was soaked with sweat, with a few beads of sweat occasionally dripping down his hair and soaking into his clothes.
Several bruises were clearly visible on the fair skin of his legs—all from falling to the ground.
[My daughter is so sexy even when she sweats. When is Xu Zhaozhao going to let Yu Yu enter the entertainment industry? I'll be his first die-hard fan!]
My daughter fell and her knees are all bruised. It breaks my heart. Come to Auntie's arms, I'll give you a kiss and it won't hurt anymore. [Pity][Pity]
[Maya, this is the comments section, not a no-man's-land!]
...
It's Lele's turn to serve again.
He looked up at the timer—there were ten minutes left in the game.
This time, he chose to serve a high ball.
The moment the ball was served, he said, "Ten minutes left, hold on and we'll win!"
"good!"
The three voices answered in unison.
Everyone's eyes were glued to the volleyball.
Their tactic is no tactic at all; as long as the volleyball doesn't touch the ground, they win!
In this set, they were still like four fish, splashing around on the volleyball court.
They almost bumped into each other several times.
As the game was nearing its end, the opposing team's tactics were clearly becoming more aggressive, and the ball was landing in increasingly tricky places.
All four of them were drenched in sweat, and their steps became unsteady.
Grit your teeth and hold on, there are still three minutes left, I can't give up.
The two sides remained deadlocked for a while, and the onlookers were on tenterhooks, the scene extremely quiet.
All you could hear were the sounds of volleyballs being hit and human bones hitting the ground.
10, 9, 8, 7...
The countdown to the game has begun.
At the critical moment, the opposing player jumped up and struck the ball with his palm.
Wipe the tennis ball!
They landed near the net, but all four of them were quite far from it!
It seems it's too late...
Bang!
A blur flashed by, and the volleyball, which was about to hit the ground, was struck.
Gu Yulin lay on the volleyball court.
Beep—
At the same time, the referee's whistle blew, signaling the end of the makeshift volleyball game.
Fishy's team won!
"Fish!! Fish!!"
The entire stadium was cheering his name, and the scene was quite grand.
It was already dark, and the lights were on around the volleyball court.
Under the lights, Gu Yulin slowly got up, and despite the scrapes on his knees and chin, he still punched each of the four opposing team members.
There was no sign of discouragement on their faces after losing the game.
"I take back what I said this morning."
The boy smiled broadly, "Your mother will definitely be the lucky star to shine this year!"
His words, transmitted through Gu Yulin's microphone, reached the ears of the audience.
Xu Zhaozhao's haters naturally wouldn't let this golden opportunity pass them by.
[Huh? Did I hear that right? Xu Zhaozhao is a celestial being descended from heaven? More like a vixen descended from heaven.]
Why bother? She's not wrong about dating a rich guy, otherwise why would she be on this children's reality show? They've already been very lenient by not saying anything even more vulgar.
[You worked yourself to the bone to win the competition just for a compliment to your mother. Xu Zhaozhao, how dare you?!]
...
Hearing this, Gu Yulin slowly smiled.
However, this smile... seemed somewhat weak.
Xu Zhaozhao had just run down from the audience to Yu Yu's side when she witnessed blood flowing from the corner of Yu Yu's mouth.
Her smile vanished instantly, "Fish!!!"
