Chapter 310: The Roar of the Hot-Blooded Senior
Ke Hong, acting as the referee, used a coin toss to decide that Deng Da and the ponytail girl Meng Yue would serve first.
The two girls stood in the area in front of the center line, while Deng Da and Qin Tian stood at the baseline in the back.
Deng Da served first. After the tennis ball was tossed high, he swung his racket with great force.
The tennis ball went straight toward Qin Tian's position. Qin Tian accurately captured the ball's trajectory and swung his racket backhand to receive it.
The ball went over, but unfortunately, he didn't control the force well, and it went straight past the baseline.
"Out! 15-0, Deng Da and Meng Yue lead!"
Ke Hong raised his hand to signal to the two of them while announcing loudly.
"Yay! Senior, well played!"
Meng Yue turned her head to look at Deng Da, offering praise with a bright smile.
"Hehe..."
Deng Da laughed happily, his mood very pleasant.
If he could defeat the school's popular figures on this court, maybe his spring was about to arrive!
It wasn't just Meng Yue; there were quite a few pretty single junior girls watching the battle on the sidelines.
He had to win this match today!
"The force was a bit too much!"
Qin Tian lightly waved the racket in his hand, trying to find the feeling.
It was mainly because he played tennis too little and lacked experience. Even with the bonus of perfect physical fitness, he still needed to adapt.
"Brother, it's fine, let's keep working hard!"
Xia Nuannuan gave encouragement with a sweet smile.
Qin Tian smiled and nodded.
Deng Da continued to serve. I don't know if he got carried away, but this ball didn't even go over; it hit the net in the middle.
Fortunately, there were two chances for a serve in tennis; only if both were mistakes would the other side get a point.
"Cough cough... mistake, mistake."
Deng Da gave a sheepish smile, and after settling his mood, he tossed the ball high to serve again.
This time, the ball landed behind Xia Nuannuan and flew toward the other side where Qin Tian was standing.
"Good ball!"
Ke Hong couldn't help but mutter to himself.
The ball speed was very fast; even if he were standing in Qin Tian's position, it would be very difficult to catch up.
However, the scene that followed shocked everyone around.
They only saw Qin Tian suddenly accelerate at the baseline with extreme speed, actually catching up to this ball and hitting it straight back.
"He runs so fast!"
A girl on the sidelines exclaimed.
"Junior, chance!"
Deng Da quickly recovered and shouted urgently.
"Understood!"
Meng Yue responded loudly, raised her racket, and delivered a smash.
Xia Nuannuan naturally couldn't catch such a fast ball, so the two of them lost another point.
"What a pity, 30-0!"
Ke Hong said with a chuckle.
Xia Nuannuan turned her head, casting an apologetic gaze toward Qin Tian.
"Don't mind it, I couldn't catch that ball either. We can win it back, let's go!"
Qin Tian encouraged her with a smile.
"Mm-hmm!"
Xia Nuannuan nodded vigorously, turned back to look at the two people celebrating with a high-five on the opposite side, and her gaze became a bit more determined.
They had already lost two balls, and she hadn't even touched a hair of the ball; this wouldn't do.
"Nuannuan, think about the feeling of us playing together that night. Just pretend the person on the opposite side is me."
A steady voice came from behind her.
"Okay, I understand."
Xia Nuannuan nodded in response.
The match continued, and Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan gradually entered their state.
Although they still narrowly lost this set, the two of them won one ball at the end.
"Is it still okay? Do you want to take a break?"
Ke Hong asked with a smile.
"It's fine, no need!"
Deng Da responded first.
He felt that the two people on the opposite side were playing better and better, and their cooperation was becoming more tacit. If this continued, it might really be hard to say, so it was best to strike while the iron was hot and secure the victory.
"We have no problem either."
Qin Tian also followed up.
"Alright, then both sides switch courts, and the match continues!"
Ke Hong directed.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I'm too stupid."
During the process of walking to the opposite court, Xia Nuannuan said with some guilt.
In her view, Qin Tian had already played very well just now, and she had held him back.
"What are you saying!"
Qin Tian raised his hand to the top of her head, rubbed her little head with a doting smile, and comforted her: "It's just for fun, play it lightly. I've got everything covered, don't worry!"
"Mm!"
Xia Nuannuan narrowed her eyes slightly, a happy and sweet smile appearing on her beautiful face.
Seeing this scene, many people around turned into "lemon spirits" (jealous people) directly.
"Ah ah ah... they're starting again!"
"Didn't they lose a set? Why does it feel like they won?"
"In every sense, they've long been winners in life, okay!"
"Brother, stop talking. If you keep talking, I'm going to have a mental breakdown."
There were also some girls who were "bitten" by the sweet and sticky scene of the two, their faces showing "motherly smiles" like watching a sweet pet drama, and some even cupped their faces and let out marmot-like screams.
"Senior, I suddenly feel like I have no fighting spirit. I feel like winning has no meaning!"
Meng Yue said in a low voice with a bitter expression.
Deng Da opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping.
To be honest, he had similar feelings.
"No, Junior, you can't think like that. The world shouldn't be so narrow, and there should be a place that belongs to us single aristocrats. Today, this court is our home court, and we must win!"
Deng Da roared in a high-pitched, deep voice.
Meng Yue looked at him with astonishment, not understanding why this senior had suddenly become so hot-blooded, with flames seemingly burning in his eyes.
What she didn't know was that this was a poor person who had been single for over twenty years since birth and had been single for two years in university, roaring at fate.
He wanted to win, to defeat this popular figure on this home court, and then win the favor of a certain junior girl.
"Okay, Senior, we've already lost, but we must win this match!"
Meng Yue was also infected by this hot blood, gritting her teeth and chiming in.
After switching courts, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan clearly noticed that the atmosphere of the two people on the opposite side had become completely different.
Putting aside technique, to exaggerate a bit, that serious and earnest expression and atmosphere were as if they were playing in the Olympics.
The two of them exchanged a look of astonishment, completely clueless.
"Qin Tian, it's your serve!"
Ke Hong reminded them with a smile.
"Okay!"
Qin Tian nodded in response, took the tennis ball handed over by a boy next to him, and began to prepare to serve.
In the previous set, his body had gradually adapted to this ball sport.
Technique and experience were of course still insufficient, but for this kind of amateur and relatively low-level match, there was no problem.
Imitating Deng Da's previous serve, Qin Tian tossed the tennis ball over his head. When the ball fell to the appropriate position, he swung his racket with force.
Since there were two chances for a serve, he didn't deliberately control the force for this first ball.
Therefore, this ball was extremely fast.
Everyone only heard a "bang," the sound of the tennis ball making contact with the racket exploding.
By the time they reacted, the tennis ball had already landed on the baseline of the ground next to Deng Da, bounced backward, and hit the fence behind him heavily.
Deng Da, who hadn't even had time to run, turned his head in astonishment to look at the landed tennis ball, then looked back at Qin Tian with a look of disbelief.
"Good ball! 15-0, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan lead!"
Ke Hong also recovered from his shock and announced that this ball was not out of bounds and the score was valid.
The surroundings were extremely quiet; whether it was the freshmen or the old members of the tennis club, everyone without exception was surprised. ===== CHAPTER 311 =====
