Sporty Girl An Siyao

Lan Wei, Xia Yu arrived at Tina's place.

It was early morning here, and the girl was sleeping.

Sitting up from the bed, Xia Yu asked, "What's wrong?"

He was puzzled, as Tina's mother was a police officer and her father was a doctor; they should be well taken care of and nothing should go wrong.

In his mind, Tina replied, "I'm leaving this place."

For a moment, Xia Yu thought of the drama of abandoning an adopted daughter after having a child late in life.

Tina's adoptive mother is pregnant with her own child and plans to send Tina back to the orphanage?

It might be possible in the first district since raising a child is expensive, but this is the second district.

Moreover, the paperwork has been done for so long, there's no reason to return her.

Those two didn't seem like that kind of people either.

As Xia Yu was puzzled, Tina continued to explain the situation, "My dad is going to study outside the district, and my mom has a case to work on. They asked me whether I would follow my dad or go to my grandparents' house in the countryside."

Hearing that it was just an ordinary job change, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Which district is your dad going to?" he asked.

"The first district."

Hearing the words from Tina, Xia Yu's heart wavered for a moment, but soon calmed down.

It is a good thing for the girl to move to the first district for him, but it may not necessarily be a good thing for the girl herself.

Firstly, the language is different. Secondly, Tina's blonde hair and blue eyes are very eye-catching and would attract a lot of attention.

Having determined that the future of the Yu Group was his own, Xia Yu no longer had any motivation to work hard and didn't have to bring Tina under his wings.

He would consider everything in the daytime.

Climbing into bed, Xia Yu continued to sleep.

Two hours later, at seven in the morning, Xia Yu got up from bed.

He went to the bathroom to wash up, then entered the living room for breakfast, and met Tina's adoptive parents.

The adoptive parents seemed worried, concerned about Tina's thoughts.

After breakfast, they began to ask, "Tina, your grandparents in the countryside welcome you, but they don't like cats, so you won't be able to bring Meow with you."

"Meow" is the name of the white cat.

Hearing that she had to leave the white cat behind, Tina immediately said in Xia Yu's mind, "I don't want to."

"Moreover, going to school in the countryside would be more troublesome," the adoptive parents added.

"Which part of the first district is Dad going to?" Tina asked.

"He's going to Rock City, the most prosperous city in the first district," said the adoptive father, not knowing why Tina asked but answering anyway.

It was actually Rock City? Xia Yu was surprised.

Rock City was An Family's stronghold, where he could enjoy many conveniences.

"How would it be if I go back to my hometown?" Xia Yu asked, preparing to make a comparison.

"In about a month, your mother will be free, and you can come back by then."

The two avoided the topic of what it would be like at their hometown, so it seemed that the environment there was indeed not very good.

"Why don't you come with me to the first district for a month, as if we were taking a vacation? We have a relative there," said the adoptive father.

Given that the situation in the hometown was obviously a pitfall and Tina's insistence on not being separated from the white cat, Xia Yu chose to follow the adoptive father and leave.

And so, the matter was settled.

After playing with Tina for half a day, Xia Yu returned to his own body.

At this time, it was morning on his side. He got up from bed and looked at his phone first.

He saw that Liu Manman had sent him a message, saying that she and An Siyao would come over later.

It wasn't strange for Liu Manman to come over. Xia Yu put his phone aside, washed up and had breakfast.

At the dining table, he was thinking about Tina's situation.

The girl would come to the first district in about half a month to a month. Her adoptive father would probably be very busy in the first district, but she had relatives there who seemed to be able to take care of Tina.

The specific situation would only be known after they arrived.

Xia Yu planned to spend more time on Tina in the next few days to help her practice Chinese spoken language.

Xia Yu also had his own selfish reasons, he wanted Tina to stay. Although he no longer needed the girl's help, it was good to hold on to such talent.

I may not need her, but I can't be without her.gif

Once the language issue was resolved, the chances of Tina staying would be much greater.

Later on, he would see if he could have An Tianfeng or Yu Liang come up with a way to keep Tina's father in the first district.

After breakfast, Xia Yu played with the black cat for a while and saw Liu Manman and An Siyao arriving.

Liu Manman lay down on the sofa unceremoniously and let out a deep sigh.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yu asked as he caught An Siyao's hand.

"The school sports meet is next week." Liu Manman said.

"Did you sign up for any events?" Xia Yu was surprised, he didn't expect Liu Manman to be a sporty girl.

"Not just me, I signed up with An Siyao." Liu Manman replied.

In Xia Yu's confusion, Liu Manman grabbed An Siyao's hand: "Together we signed up for the badminton doubles, so you can watch us play during the competition!"

"How did you two from Guzheng and Piano classes sign up together?" Xia Yu became even more surprised.

"Only the classes can sign up for the department sports meet, but different departments can team up for the school sports meet!" Liu Manman explained, "However, it doesn't count for the Sports Academy, the tradition of the school sports meet is not to involve Sports Academy students, they play their own games."

It would indeed be too unfair to allow Sports Academy students to participate in ordinary university student sports meets.

"How did you think of signing up for the sports meet?" Xia Yu asked again.

"Manman said you like it." An Siyao replied.

Xia Yu then looked at Liu Manman.

Liu Manman coughed: "Don't you dare say you don't want to see An Siyao and me in the gym, playing and stretching gracefully!"

Xia Yu imagined that scene and it indeed seemed to be quite nice.

Two beautiful girls jumping and sweating, what a great scene.

"So, what exactly prompted you to sign up for the competition? I didn't know you were such a sports enthusiast." Xia Yu didn't allow Liu Manman to change the topic.

"Well..." Liu Manman's gaze drifted a little, "Our class had to fill out a form about hobbies and interests, and as a Guzheng student, I felt it was too sad to write Guzheng again."

Xia Yu could understand Liu Manman's thoughts, in his previous life, Xia Yu had a classmate who did the same thing.

That classmate felt that saying he liked basketball during an interview was too common, and had no distinctiveness, so he said he liked football, only to find out the interviewer was a football fan...

This was a sad story.

Liu Manman continued, "I originally wanted to put singing as my hobby, but there are too many singing programs, and I might be singled out, so I chose badminton."

"Why are you dragging An Siyao into this, then?" Xia Yu continued to ask.

"I originally planned to find a classmate, but all of them have played badminton before, only An Siyao hasn't." Liu Manman's words carried a hint of grievance.

There was quite a bit of information hidden in this sentence, so Xia Yu sorted it out.

Liu Manman targeted An Siyao because she didn't know how to play badminton, which is why Liu Manman included her.

It seems hard to understand, but just a little analysis can provide an explanation.

By including An Siyao, who had never played badminton, Liu Manman showed that she was not trying to win, but she didn't think she could win either, because her skills were poor.

So, Liu Manman gave up on winning or losing, and focused on saving face.

How not to lose face? Of course, it's by dragging someone down with her, as long as An Siyao is worse, people won't notice Liu Manman's poor performance.

Liu Manman's scheme was smart.

However, not knowing how to play badminton doesn't mean An Siyao's body can't play.

As long as her partner is bad enough, she could save a little face, but what if her partner is too strong?

Xia Yu thought that in the end, he might give Liu Manman a surprise.

"Let's go practice!" An Siyao suggested, as she seemed to be concerned about her performance on the court.

"Let's go!" Liu Manman's purpose for finding An Siyao was just that, to see what kind of level An Siyao was at.

"I'll go too!" Yuxue followed behind.

Arriving at the badminton court of the residential area, the four divided into two teams, Xia Yu and Liu Manman against An Siyao and Yuxue.

Both Xia Yu and Liu Manman were not paying attention to their own play, but to An Siyao and Yuxue.

Yuxue, who had been doing housework since she was young, had an excellent performance in sports. She served the ball to An Siyao in a standard posture.

1 second: The ball flew past An Siyao.

2 seconds: The ball fell to the ground.

3 seconds: An Siyao swung the racket.

"I was too fast, sorry." Yuxue picked up another ball, this time, she held back her strength and served the ball with a big arc.

This type of ball was easy even for beginners, and An Siyao did indeed catch it, but the ball hit the net and still failed.

"Yao Yao, you serve." Yuxue felt that An Siyao might not be good at receiving, so she was prepared to let her serve the next time, to demonstrate some comfort.

An Siyao began to serve:

1 second: The ball fell from her hand.

2 seconds: The ball fell to the ground.

3 seconds: She swung the racket.

Yuxue could not continue, so she looked at Xia Yu for help with pleading eyes.

Xia Yu sighed.

Because An Tianfeng was worried about An Siyao encountering danger, he exempted her from physical education classes. During their time in the East Village, every physical education class was free time for An Siyao. Xia Yu even suspected that An Siyao had never attended a physical education class in her life.

He switched seats with Yuxue, allowing her to accompany Liu Manman to play.

Liu Manman was full of fighting spirit. As soon as she saw An Siyao's appearance, she was confident in the success of her plan.

"Come on!" Liu Manman said to Yuxue.

Yuxue tentatively sent a ball, and Liu Manman caught it successfully and hit it back.

Confirming that Liu Manman wasn't as much of a rookie as An Siyao, Yuxue relaxed. In the next round, she used a little skill to send the ball to the other side where Liu Manman was standing.

Liu Manman ran halfway, and the ball had already fallen to the ground.

"You're despicable! Taking advantage of someone's vulnerability!" Liu Manman said to Yuxue.

I haven't even tried!

Yuxue felt it was too difficult, as Liu Manman's skills were just slightly better than An Siyao's.

As she wondered how to be polite without being too patronizing, Xia Yu and An Siyao approached.

"Let's call it a day," Xia Yu coughed and said.

"Alright." Noticing the gap between her skills and Yuxue's, Liu Manman agreed to Xia Yu's suggestion.

Liu Manman failed to sense anything unusual, thinking that An Siyao simply didn't want to play anymore, but the more attentive Yuxue sensed a problem.

As she wondered about it, Xia Yu pulled her aside.

"You go with Yaoyao to the mall and buy some necessary sports equipment for girls," Xia Yu told Yuxue.

Yuxue analyzed the situation calmly, thought carefully, and discovered the problem.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at An Siyao's upper body.

An Siyao responded with innocent eyes.

Pulling An Siyao aside, Yuxue whispered the situation to her and accompanied her to the mall.

Only Xia Yu and Liu Manman returned to the villa.

Liu Manman had completely let go of the competition, as there were still two days left, and no matter how hard An Siyao tried, it would be useless.

Her unique plan to inform Xia Yu of An Siyao's lack of practice time was to maintain An Siyao's raw, unskilled level of play.

Lying on the sofa, Xia Yu continued writing his game plan while Liu Manman seemed uncomfortable.

As he prepared to ask her about it, Liu Manman stood up and asked, "Where is Yuxue's room?"

Shouldn't it be the bathroom?

Xia Yu, puzzled, pointed to Yuxue's door.

Liu Manman entered the room.

Three minutes later, the girl returned to the sofa, stretched lazily, and said she felt much more relaxed.

Although Xia Yu couldn't understand, his intuition told him it was better not to ask about this issue.

"Let's play the guzheng," Liu Manman, bored, began searching for something fun.

"The guzheng is also in the piano room. If you want to play, go by yourself," Xia Yu didn't pay attention to Liu Manman as he continued writing his plan.

Liu Manman was used to Xia Yu's indifference, she went to the piano room and started playing the guzheng by herself.

An hour later, Yuxue and An Siyao returned together, and the four of them played games as usual.

By evening, Liu Manman had left, and An Siyao had also been called away by Yu Ningmeng.

After playing all day, Yuxue yawned and returned to her room.

She looked at the extra piece of clothing on her bed, lost in thought.

It was a sports bra that was neither hers nor An Siyao's. An Siyao didn't have it before, and her trip to the mall was to buy this for An Siyao.

So, the only suspect left was Liu Manman.

Now the question arises, why would such a thing leave Liu Manman's body when neither she nor Yaoyao were around?

And it appeared in her bedroom.

So, it turned out that besides Xu Youxiang, her brother also had a relationship with Liu Manman?

Is the adult world this messy?

But it seemed that her brother had taken advantage of the situation, so be it.

Yuxue threw the clothes into the laundry basket.

Five minutes later, Liu Manman, who discovered the problem, sent her a message:

Yuxue, did you see anything on your bed?

No, Yuxue replied after some thought.

She thought that this wasn't just a matter of clothes, but also whether Liu Manman's affairs with her brother had been exposed or not. To avoid embarrassing Liu Manman and disturbing her brother's good fortune, she decided it was better to pretend she hadn't seen anything.

Her kindness, however, led to some misunderstandings from Liu Manman.

Liu Manman was sure she had left her clothes on Yuxue's bed, but now Yuxue said she hadn't seen them. Why? Could the clothes have disappeared into thin air?

The only possibility was that someone had taken the clothes before Yuxue had a chance.

What could he be up to?

In the living room, Xia Yu, who was explaining work to Duan Yi, suddenly received a message from Liu Manman.

Pervert!

Xia Yu was puzzled and thought Liu Manman was just in a bad mood, so he ignored her.

Seeing that Xia Yu had no intention of admitting or returning the item, Liu Manman became even more embarrassed, but she was too shy to ask directly.

At the same time, there was a hint of strangeness in Liu Manman's heart.

Was Xia Yu's behavior a sign that he was also interested in her?

She thought back to what Liu Ronglan had said, that such a conversation is possible for couples with Xia Yu.

Tossing and turning in bed, Liu Manman's mood couldn't calm down for a long time.

So when Monday came, the day of the school sports meet, things had changed.
