Chapter 159: Thanks, Brother Zhi Xia!

Han Wen Jun, upon hearing that he had been chosen, looked at his brothers, then nodded, saying, "Come on, come on, bro, I'm in."

His carefree nature instantly won Kang Zhi Xia's favor, "Good brother."

"I choose Kang Wu." Ning Hanmo naturally understood Kang Zhi Xia's meaning; this was letting Kang Wu be given to him.

Zhang Cunwen and Jia Chuan were a bit nervous; it seemed only the two of them were left.

Just then, Ning Hanmo won, looking at the two shining eyes...

"I'll choose whoever; you guys guess." He said, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry.

"I won, hehe." Zhang Cunwen won and directly went to Ning Hanmo's team.

Jia Chuan, although a bit disappointed, saw Kang Zhi Xia stretch out his arms, "Brother, come quickly, I welcome you."

Jia Chuan also became happy; as the second eldest, he should let the younger brothers go first.

"Why are we still guessing?" Seeing those still guessing, the three newcomers didn't quite understand.

Ning Qiancheng looked at the three people, "You wouldn't think our cuju match only has men participating, would you?"

"Look at the girls of Chun Hua Xue Yuan; the heroines are no less than the heroes!"

"What are you thinking? You just arrived, haven't trained; it's not certain you can beat the girls."

The five of them had known each other for a long time, experienced many things; when speaking to each other, they never needed to beat around the bush.

Ning Qiancheng spoke directly, his words without any concealment.

"You're kidding!" Zhang Cunwen was not convinced.

Look at that thin, weak girl; he couldn't even beat her—would he still manage?

"I can't beat them? I'll run three laps around the field in a moment!"

As his words fell, someone patted his shoulder.

Zhang Cunwen turned his head and saw a gentle face, who softly said to him, "You said it! Running three laps around the field—whoever doesn't keep their word is a puppy!"

Behind him was Kang Zhiqiu, who had unintentionally overheard these conversations; what else was there not to understand?

This guy actually looks down on the girls.

"I, Zhang Xiao San, always keep my word; those who don't keep their word are bears!"

His righteous and solemn appearance made Ning Qiancheng, Kang Wen, and Kang Wu cover their eyes.

Han Wen Jun and Jia Chuan exchanged a glance, feeling that their Zhang Xiao San was doomed.

"We've divided them, okay."

"Let's discuss tactics!" Jiang Yunchu looked at the two teams; Kang Zhi Xia obviously let Ning Hanmo have his way, but on the girls' side, he chose Kang Zhi Chun and Kang Zhiqiu.

Kang Zi Wei and Kang Nai Xin were both members of Ning Hanmo's team.

For a moment, each team had six people, four men and two women.

In previous matches, everyone wanted to play, but with an extra person, only one could be the referee; no one ever wanted the referee spot, so to get on the field, they'd argue for a long time.

This time, with the addition of three people, they finally had an even number.

Jiang Yunchu smiled silently, hiding his merit and fame.

Ning Hanmo and Kang Zhi Xia explained to their respective teammates, mainly the three newcomers, explaining the rules, as well as assigning those responsible for guarding and what to do.

First round……

Kang Zhi Xia gained possession, directly side-kicked to Ning Qiancheng; Ning Qiancheng sidestepped past Kang Wu and ran forward, just then Ning Hanmo attempted a sliding tackle, but it was already too late.

Ning Qiancheng's ball had been kicked away; Jia Chuan smoothly received the ball……

But a foot came out from the side; Kang Wen, at a strange angle, directly took the ball.

Then he kicked it to the well-positioned Zhang Cunwen……

But who would have thought, Kang Zhiqiu seemed to have his eye on him; before he could even finish celebrating, Kang Zhiqiu had already intercepted the ball midway……

Zhang Cunwen was dumbfounded……

This is a girl?

Whose girl is this fierce?

"It's fine, we continue…" Ning Hanmo patted his shoulder and resumed the defense.

……

"First round, Kang Zhi Xia's team wins."

Throughout the process, everyone was drenched in sweat; the girls changed from their skirts into morning exercise outfits, their hair tied up high, looking spirited and vigorous.

"Second round, Ning Hanmo's team wins."

In the end, Ning Hanmo, Kang Wen, and Kang Wu coordinated, successfully striking the cuju to make the bronze bell ring.

Their version of cuju differs from the outside; each side has only one bronze bell, and ringing it counts as victory.

Zhang Cunwen lay directly on the ground; the sweat all over his body gave him a feeling of exhaustion.

Playing was truly fun, but the tiredness was truly real.

Jia Chuan and Han Wen Jun were the same.

But they were somewhat better; Zhang Cunwen was naturally tall and thin, and Kang Zhiqiu deliberately targeted him, causing his stamina to be rapidly depleted.

"Are you convinced? Still looking down on girls?" Kang Zhiqiu wiped his sweat, then stood beside Zhang Cunwen, looking at him lying there, panting heavily; she also felt a bit embarrassed.

This is a newcomer; don't let her ruin the game.

However, Zhang Cunwen sat up, lifted his head, looked at Kang Zhiqiu, smiled, and said, "Convinced!"

Quite the opposite, he showed no anger at all; his smiling face made Kang Zhiqiu re-evaluate this person.

It seemed……

Not as hateful as imagined!

She always appeared cheerful, good at observing situations and also at observing people's emotional changes; she discovered that Zhang Cunwen was a very strange person, his emotional state very stable.

When he spoke, when he answered, there was no change in his emotion.

There was no contempt, no misunderstanding, no anger, not even any concern.

She had still never met anyone like this—how strange!

"Again!" Kang Zhiqiu said, smiling.

Zhang Cunwen jumped up immediately, then took a breath, "Again."

Best of three.

They now have one win and one loss, with the final match remaining.

"Start!" At Jiang Yunchu's command, the scene became a bit chaotic; the children's sweat had already dripped down their necks, each of them not caring about dirt or fatigue, in this training field, releasing their enthusiasm.

Zi Wu silently had the water boiled, the temperature a bit higher, and sent it to the washing area.

Before, there were few children, so they could still wash in the dormitory, but now there are many children, Jiang Yunchu specially had a bathing room built; however it is very simple, just partitioned with curtains, but still large wooden tubs, and everyone has their own area, each person a spot.

In the third round, Kang Wen and Kang Wu coordinated, Zhang Cunwen made a desperate effort, Kang Zi Wei and Kang Nai Xin used a feint east attack west, and Ning Hanmo directly kicked the ball into the goal to end it.

"Dang~" the copper gong sounded.

In a moment, the entire training field echoed with huge breathing sounds.

"We won!"

Five people placed their hands together, all breaking into smiles.

"Zhi Xia bro, thanks." Ning Hanmo looked at Kang Zhi Xia to the side, walked over, and thumped his shoulder.
