Chapter 4: Top Star Battle 5
"Want to steal my partner? Beat me first."
Zeng Chen came over, walked around me and stood in front of Lin Tong, just blocking Mi Lu's vicious gaze.
"Okay!" Lin Tong said with a smile, "It's a good opportunity to let Yuan Wan see my strength!"
"You be the referee." Zeng Chen said this to me coldly and walked into the tennis court.
"I'll serve first!" Lin Tong raised the ball in his hand, and a raging fire instantly ignited in his eyes.
Zeng Chen also immediately gripped the racket with both hands, slightly bent his knees, and prepared to receive the ball with a serious look on his face.
As soon as the game started, the ball in Lin Tong's hand flew out like an arrow, and with a "snap", it hit the ground opposite the net. Zeng Chen took a step forward, swung the racket and sent the ball to the opposite corner of the court. Lin Tong, who reacted very quickly, moved his feet quickly and dunked the ball back.
The two of them exchanged moves for a long time without making any mistakes. Their professional performance attracted the scattered students to gather here, and everyone watched with great interest.
"boom!"
Lin Tong found the right opportunity and shot the ball around the edge, leaving Zeng Chen empty-handed.
"Lin Tong one point!" I announced. I don't know why, but I felt it was a pity to see Zeng Chen miss a point.
"Yes!" Lin Tong, who was leading by one point, danced with joy and made faces at Zeng Chen.
Zeng Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and his expression became very serious. Then, I seemed to see that every ball he swung ignited sparks after rubbing against the air. The game entered a white-hot stage, and the whole audience watched with bated breath, but there was still the rustling of gossip.
"Do you think they both like Yuan Wan? Why do they look like 'rivals in love are jealous of each other'?"
"I also think they are jealous of Yuan Wan!"
"Nonsense, Lin Tong belongs to Mi Lu, and Zeng Chen is mine, hahaha!"
…
I could only shake my head helplessly at this idle discussion. After Zeng Chen lost the game, he started to win frequently, and I was happy too.
Yuan Wan, are you also attracted by Zeng Chen's jeans?
I refused to think about the reason for the joy in my heart. I shook my head vigorously, and my eyes unconsciously returned to Zeng Chen. At this moment, sweat had wet the hair on his forehead. He raised his hand to wipe it and took off his coat. Through the thin gray T-shirt, his beautiful muscle lines could be vaguely seen. He stared at his opponent with a focused look, which was very imposing.
Zeng Chen was really amazing! In the end, he defeated Lin Tong with an absolute advantage of 16 to 4.
"There's something wrong with this racket!" After I announced his victory, Lin Tong cursed at his racket, "No, no, one more game!"
Zeng Chen put down his racket and put on a smile on his face: "I'm willing to accept the loss."
"you……"
Before Lin Tong could refute, the teacher walked into the court.
"There are not so many people coming to class today, so let's practice together in groups. The grouping should be the same as last time." After he gave a brief explanation, he let us move freely.
"Let's practice together in two groups." Mi Lu appeared out of nowhere, ran to Lin Tong and gave him an extremely gentle smile.
Lin Tong frowned and said nothing.
"What do you think?" Zeng Chen turned his head and looked at me and asked.
"I don't mind."
I shrugged and was about to go to the equipment cart to pick out a tennis racket when Mi Lu very actively handed me a pair of rackets and said softly, "This racket is for you."
Was it my imagination? Not only did she not roll her eyes at me, but she was actually smiling at me? I took the racket blankly and stared blankly at Mi Lu walking to the other side and standing shoulder to shoulder with Lin Tong.
"It's started!" She curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled evilly. Then I heard a "pop" sound. A ball flew towards me with a heavy blow and hit directly in front of my feet, then bounced towards me.
The ball rolled out of the field, but luckily Zeng Chen pulled me towards him in time, so I managed to avoid it.
"Be careful." Zeng Chen frowned and whispered.
I nodded subconsciously. It was just a practice, but Milu used all her strength. It was terrible.
"Come again!" Mi Lu's smile this time made me break out in a cold sweat, and I couldn't help but be secretly on guard.
"Snapped!"
This time, the sound of her hitting the ball was even louder than before, and it was obvious that she had increased her strength. I held the racket tightly in vigilance and blocked it in front of me.
Mi Lu’s tennis skills were not very good, but she was very strong. Under her fierce attack, the small tennis ball flew towards my face like a ball of yellow flame at lightning speed.
I moved the racket in front of me, gripped it tightly, and swung it forward.
But at the moment when the ball touched the racket, I heard a few slight sounds , and all the strings on the racket broke. The ball actually passed through the hole in the tennis racket and hit me straight in the face!
"Yuan Wan!"
"careful!"
At this moment, a huge force pulled my hand, and then I was pulled into a warm embrace. After a dizzy moment, I felt myself pressed heavily on a cushion of flesh.
When I came to my senses, Zeng Chen's handsome face appeared in front of me. He frowned slightly and looked at me with concern.
"Zeng Chen!" I was startled and tried to climb up from him, but my hands suddenly went limp and I fell on him again.
And the worst thing is that my lips rubbed against his lips.
Is this considered a kiss?
I stared at him with wide eyes, and he looked a little terrified. My hand on his chest suddenly felt a strong heartbeat, "thump, thump" beating non-stop.
It's winter now, why did the air suddenly become so hot?
I don’t know how long we maintained this strange posture. Lin Tong came over from the other side of the court and pulled me up from Zeng Chen.
Lin Tong asked me anxiously: "Are you okay?"
"I...I'm fine."
I covered my chest and didn't recover for a long time. From the corner of my eye, I saw Zeng Chen stand up from the ground and brush the dust off his clothes.
"Your face is so red, and you still say it's okay?" Lin Tong muttered, then turned around and scolded Mi Lu, "What's wrong with you? You chose a bad racket for me!"
"Yuanwan, I'm sorry, I really didn't know that the racket was broken." Mi Lu bit her lip, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
I was about to answer her when Zeng Chen walked up to me and said coldly, "Don't do anything in front of me."
After saying that, he picked up his coat that was thrown on the ground, took my hand, and took me away in front of everyone.
