Pretending to Be Seriously Ill, Liu Manman

Fifteen minutes before the start of the match, An Siyao received a call from Liu Manman.

Xia Yu almost guessed what Liu Manman was planning. He took An Siyao's phone and answered the call.

"Cough, cough, cough, " Liu Manman's weak voice came through the phone, "I caught a cold, I can't make it today."

"Do you think I believe that?" Xia Yu replied.

"Wasn't I calling An Siyao?" Liu Manman was shocked. She knew Xia Yu was not easy to deceive, so she prepared to pretend to be sick with An Siyao.

She couldn't bear coming to the court to be a mere tool anymore.

"Wasn't it you who wanted to participate in the competition?" Although Xia Yu had no intention of calling Liu Manman over, he still habitually gave her a hard time.

Perhaps he could extort some unexpected benefits from her.

Liu Manman pondered for a moment. Although she didn't hear that Xia Yu wanted benefits, she realized that only benefits could make up for it.

"What do you want?" she said reluctantly.

"Just owe me for now. Just tell me when you have something good," As the match was approaching, Xia Yu stopped talking with Liu Manman, hung up the phone, and handed it back to An Siyao.

The two of them went to the referee on the court.

An Siyao looked a bit regretful, but there was nothing Xia Yu could do. He couldn't force Liu Manman to come to the match either.

He even brought a video camera, originally intending to film An Siyao.

After hearing Xia Yu's explanation, the referee frowned.

"Sick?" The referee flipped through the match form, "Which player?"

Xia Yu pointed out Liu Manman's name.

The referee crossed out Liu Manman's name and asked Xia Yu, "What's your name?"

Xia Yu gave his name and was suspicious about why the referee wanted his name.

His doubts were soon answered when he saw the referee write his name next to the crossed-out Liu Manman.

"The competition cannot be canceled, just substitute someone if you are short a player," the referee packed up the forms, and said to Xia Yu and An Siyao.

Could it be taken so lightly?

Xia Yu thought that since it was a school sports event without the involvement of the sports college, it was mainly for entertainment purposes, and there was no need to stick to the rules strictly.

Thus, Xia Yu and An Siyao became teammates.

Xia Yu put the camera he wore around his waist on a table to the side and picked up a racket.

During the preparations before the match, he pondered one thing.

He didn't care about the competition itself; what he really wanted was to watch An Siyao running around. From the stands, it was a good view, but how to appreciate it on the court?

It seemed there was no difference, but the distance was closer now.

Soon, Xia Yu made up his mind.

The first serve came from Xia Yu. He wasn't proficient in serving, but he relied on other skills to dominate.

He made an ordinary serve, and the competition began between Xia Yu and the two opponents.

The level of the two opponents was somewhat stronger than the two males from yesterday's first match. However, Xia Yu was now using his body, and since he's already familiarized himself with it yesterday, his level had improved much more than before.

The shuttlecock quickly shuttled back and forth on the court, and the two opponents saw that only Xia Yu was receiving the ball, deliberately playing the ball left, right, front, and rear, trying to consume Xia Yu's physical strength.

They shared the court while Xia Yu had to run all by himself.

If it were an ordinary person, their strategy might be successful, but Xia Yu had the endurance of Lv3 skill.

The three of them battled for a minute, and no one lost a point.

An Siyao lingered behind like this for a minute.

Under such high-intensity swings, the two boys on the opposite side were a little overwhelmed. One of them deliberately hit the ball over An Siyao's head while receiving the ball.

He wanted to use An Siyao to interfere with Xia Yu, causing him to make mistakes.

However, he underestimated Xia Yu's physical fitness. With the addition of his Lv2 strength, Xia Yu leapt up and hit the ball back in front of An Siyao.

After landing, Xia Yu took a deep breath, glanced at the boy who had just received the ball, and thought that the tactic of using An Siyao's body to block him was useful but somewhat despicable.

He gripped the racket tightly, and his muscles tensed.

With his agility, his hitting ability was above the two opponents, but because there were two of them and only one of him, the deadlock continued.

Since being agile wasn't enough, he had to add strength.

When the ball was hit back, Xia Yu leapt up with force. The power was transmitted from his waist to his arm, then to the racket in his hand, and finally striking the ball.

Before, when he was being cautious not to hurt An Siyao, Xia Yu didn't dare to use his fullstrength Lv2. When he first started using his body at the beginning, he was afraid of making mistakes by using too much power, so he didn't go all out.

Now, he had found a sense of control and believed that he wouldn't make mistakes due to excessive force.

The shuttlecock let out a crisp cry as it flew towards the two boys at an extremely fast speed and with a strong momentum.

One of the boys barely touched the ball, and the force transmitted made his swing go awry. The ball failed to cross the net.

Xia Yu scored the first point.

Xia Yu served again, and after the ball was hit back by the two boys, he jumped up and forcefully smashed it. The two boys caught the shuttlecock this time, but before they could celebrate, Xia Yu swung his racket again with force.

The two couldn't save the ball, and the shuttlecock fell on the opponent's court. Xia Yu scored the second point.

In the third round, Xia Yu served once more.

The two boys made significant progress this time, catching Xia Yu's first full-power shot and the second one.

In the fourth round, the shuttlecock suddenly fell straight down halfway, landing on the two boys' court.

The shuttlecock was shattered.

The two boys looked at each other, both shocked.

The badminton of Hua University wouldn't use substandard products. The shuttlecock was destroyed after several hits. How much force was that!

However, they soon found out that the destruction of the shuttlecock was nothing.

In the ninth round, Xia Yu's racket broke off in his hand.

Before the two boys could celebrate, he immediately picked up An Siyao's racket to continue.

An Siyao was left empty-handed, swaying behind him.

As time went on, Xia Yu's scores became easier and easier, and the two boys on the opposite side lost their strength and fighting spirit.

The two boys grew more and more desperate, as the score reached twenty to zero, just one more point and they would lose.

This time, it was still Xia Yu's serve, but after the serve, he didn't receive the ball back.

"Hey!" An Siyao hit the ball hard, but it hit the net and didn't go through.

The referee gave a point to the two boys.

Taking the camera from the table next to him, Xia Yu turned it on and aimed it at An Siyao, urging the two boys with the serve to serve quickly.

He couldn't wait to see An Siyao's cute appearance while playing.

His attitude hurt the two boys on the other side. The two boys felt like mice caught by a cat and thrown to the kitten to play with.

The two boys served the ball, and An Siyao's skill level remained as poor as ever. The two boys kept winning points, but they felt more and more suffocated.

They watched Xia Yu holding the camera, filming An Siyao from every angle, and felt their dignity being insulted.

They exchanged glances, and their eyes became resolute.
