Before seeing Zhang Liang, Lin Zhaoxi was curious about what Zhang Liang would look like when he grew up.
After seeing Zhang Liang, Lin Zhaoxi was shocked by the word "this child".
Dayue badminton hall, underground passage, Zhang Liang was standing three meters away from her.
It is completely different from the arrogant and gloomy appearance when he was a child. Now Zhang Liang looks tall and mighty, especially when he is surrounded by an internet celebrity girl who is small and sweet, which makes him appear to be burly and muscular.
Lin Zhaoxi was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.
Hanamaki put her hands in her pockets, and glanced at her: "What's the matter with you, you're so shameless, you knew him before?"
"No... I don't know him." Lin Zhaoxi swallowed, "I want to have momentum, but I think we might not be able to beat him."
"Don't build up other people's aspirations, destroy your own prestige, hold your chest up!"
After Comrade Hanamaki finished speaking, he continued to put in his pocket and stopped talking. Pei Zhi didn't intend to say hello to Zhang Liang, Lin Zhaoxi was still rational and knew that she didn't know Zhang Liang, so she didn't say a word.
Because of this, the three of them kept confronting Zhang Liang, but no one spoke.
30 seconds passed, 1 minute passed, 1 minute and 30 seconds passed...
Lin Zhaoxi finally couldn't bear it any longer: "How long will this situation last?"
"Wait a little longer, I'm very popular and must have style."
"What does he want?" Lin Zhaoxi could only ask Pei Zhi.
"In his rules of the game, if you say hello first, you lose."
"What about us?"
"Accompany him to play tricks." Pei Zhi said lightly.
Lin Zhaoxi laughed out loud.
Zhang Liang gave her a sideways look, and finally found a chance to say, "Hanjuan, you still wear a pair of pants with Pei Zhi, and you even use the same pair for your girlfriend.
"Damn it." Lin Zhaoxi cursed silently in her heart, her mouth was too bad.
Hanamaki wanted to get mad, Lin Zhaoxi looked at him reassuringly, it must be bad for idol stars to fight.
She said to Zhang Liang: "I am not their girlfriend."
"Then what are you, buddy with benefits?"
"Oh, you know Sanwei University, right? I'm a special sports student, a badminton player." Lin Zhaoxi was very calm.
Zhang Liang was stunned, and after a while, he said to Hanamaki and Pei Zhi, "Why, it's just playing badminton, and you still need to find someone, so you're so unconfident?"
"I lied to you." Lin Zhaoxi curled her lips, "Why are you so easy to deceive?"
Zhang Liang's face turned green immediately.
"Okay, stop talking." Lin Zhaoxi asked Zhang Liang, "Where are we going to play?"
"Go straight... left, hand, side, No. 2." Zhang Liang squeezed out a few words between his teeth
Lin Zhaoxi nodded and passed him by.

badminton court. In order to take into account the popularity of Hanamaki, there is no one else here, and it is an independent stadium.
Lin Zhaoxi put down her schoolbag on the sidelines, thinking that Zhang Liang is still in secondary school like he was when he was a child, which is really inconceivable.
Hanamaki sat on her left: "It was cool just now."
"How does Teacher Ji feel?"
"It's fine, but you're really not a badminton special student?"
"no."
"That's still not good enough, I always feel like I've lost a little bit."
Lin Zhaoxi: "Actually, I..."
She said while looking at Pei Zhi.
"You don't need to tell him what you study." Pei Zhi opened the racket bag and said.
"What's worth keeping secret???" Hanamaki dismissed.
"This meme has been played many times, and it's a bit boring."
Lin Zhaoxi tied up her shoelaces. On the opposite side of the field, Zhang Liang and her cute little girlfriend had already walked to the opposite teeing area, but Lu Zhihao hadn't come yet.
"Don't wait for them?"
"It is said that there is a traffic jam on the road, but the possibility of not daring to come is not ruled out." Hanamaki paused, "You are changing the subject, I can hear it, don't you study mathematics?"
Pei Zhi handed her a badminton racket and led her to stand on the other side of the court.
The ceiling spotlights are fully turned on, and the stadium is extremely bright.
Across the net, Lin Zhaoxi looked at the burly young man on the opposite side of the net again.
From the analysis of Zhang Liang's muscle lines, he should exercise regularly abroad. The lower limbs are strong, and they should be able to block the net forward and smash backwards.
"Scoring is done according to the rules of the official game, is there any objection?" Zhang Liang said.
On the field, Lin Zhaoxi and Pei Zhi looked at each other.
Hanamaki sat on the sidelines, and the next second he saw two imposing people running back to get their phones.
Zhang Liang showed disdain for the country bumpkin, but the girl didn't realize it, and she turned her head and asked loudly, "Which version of the competition rules?"
"casual."
"So confident?" Lin Zhaoxi muttered.
Pei Zhi: "Look at the latest."
The two of them took out their mobile phones at the same time, checked the latest version of the rules of this year's international competition, and exchanged a few words occasionally, very practical and rigorous.
Hanamaki leaned against the wall and looked at them with folded arms.
Lin Zhaoxi and Pei Zhi stood at the venue again, and Zhang Liang was obviously getting impatient.
Lin Zhaoxi: "You really don't want to see it?"
"Stop talking nonsense and start quickly."
Zhang Liang was full of momentum, pinched the shuttlecock and tilted the surface of the racket. With a bang, the shuttlecock flew over the net with strong wind.
Pei Zhi stood in the receiving area and lightly shook his racket. His movements are really random, so the badminton that was hit back fell to the net, and it didn't pass...
Hanamaki flopped a card on the sidelines and almost spit out. Lin Zhaoxi didn't respond. The girl next to Zhang Liang was very happy and shouted, "1:0."
Zhang Liang walked to the net, picked up the badminton that fell on the ground, and looked at Pei Zhi coldly: "What do you mean?"
"Come again." Pei Zhi said.
Zhang Liang served again, with the same strong force and sharp arc, but this time, Pei Zhi didn't even swing his racket lazily, and the shuttlecock fell at Pei Zhi's feet and rolled gently for a short distance.
Zhang Liang narrowed his eyes, faintly angry: "What do you mean, Pei Zhi, don't agree to come out if you don't want to play well."
Lin Zhaoxi sighed and looked at Pei Zhi: "Really?"
"He said it casually, probably because he hasn't read the rules." After Pei Zhi finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Liang, "You violated the rule on serving."
"Obviously it's a legal serve. If you say I violated the rule, then it's a violation. If you don't want to hit it, just roll."
Lin Zhaoxi was very helpless: "The rules of doubles in the official game are a bit complicated. You will have to switch sides after you score. Please pay attention. This time it is not your violation. Let's kick off again."
The girl was quiet, and she didn't mean to take advantage, but the words "this time is not your violation" seriously hurt Zhang Liang's self-esteem.
Zhang Liang's face was so smelly that he couldn't look at it.
Lin Zhaoxi completed a double kill solo, and Hanamaki almost wanted to dig out a bag of potato chips to smash it.
"No need, score." Zhang Liang squeezed out these words through his teeth.
"Then why don't you read the rules of the game first?" Lin Zhaoxi asked gently.
triple kill~
Hanamaki almost laughed out loud.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted. Lin Zhaoxi and Pei Zhi's attitudes were too understated, Zhang Liang seemed to have nowhere to vent his full anger, and finally he could play seriously.
But then, the rules and guidance sounded from time to time on the field.
Snapped.
4:3
"Sister, you need to switch sides."
Snapped.
4:4
"You have to serve me this ball, serve it diagonally..."
Snapped.
5:7
"When the serving team scores an even number, the serving team serves in the right half of the court; when the serving team scores an odd number, it serves in the left half court."
In front of the net and behind the net, the racket flew up and down, and the "squeak" sound of the sneakers rubbing against the floor continued.
15:16
Zhang Liang has good athletic ability. Lin Zhaoxi and Pei Zhi used the rules to hang around and beat him, but he didn't make any protest against the rules themselves, and he was very manly, almost turning the doubles into singles.
On the other hand, on Pei Zhi's side, classmate Pei hid behind, except for the occasional swing and smash, there were basically no other unnecessary actions. At the net, in the middle, and on the bottom line, Lin Zhaoxi galloped all over the court, and girls were seen everywhere in the half court.
The score rose alternately, and Hanamaki kept flipping the score cards.
18:20, match point.
Relying on his previous understanding of the rules, Pei Zhilin maintained a 2-point advantage day and night.
Lin Zhaoxi returned the ball just enough to pass the net.
Zhang Liang saw that Pei Zhi's running range was not large, and Lin Zhaoxi was in front of the net again, so he hoisted a powerful backcourt crossing and hit the ball to the southeast corner of the court.
Only Pei Zhi could catch the ball, but Pei Zhi didn't move.
Everyone present was frozen, only their eyes followed the trajectory of the badminton across the air, and finally landed.
The shuttlecock passed by the line and lay on the wooden floor, out of bounds.
At 18:21, the game ended.
"Win!" Hanamaki jumped up, even forgetting to turn over the scoreboard.
Lin Zhaoxi turned her head with a smile. Pei Zhiqiu switched his racket to the other hand and raised his left hand high.
Lin Zhaoxi ran back, jumped up, and gave Pei Zhi a high five.
"Come again." Zhang Liang said coldly.
"No more fights." Lin Zhaoxi immediately refused. In the round just now, she and Pei Zhi won by memorizing the rules. If there is another round and her physical strength declines, the victory cannot be guaranteed.
Zhang Liang: "According to the rules of international competitions, two out of three games will win."
"Oh, don't be so serious."
Lin Zhaoxi pulled Pei Zhi and hurried to the sidelines. Zhang Liang obviously didn't intend to let them go, so he actually walked towards them holding the racket.
Just then, the arena door opened.
Lu Zhihao stood at the door, holding his cute little girlfriend by the hand, sweating profusely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm late."
"It's not too late, it's time to come." Pei Zhi said.
—
Lin Zhaoxi sat on the bench, wiping sweat with the sleeve of her t-shirt. Pei Zhi was still wearing sportswear with long sleeves and trousers, but because he didn't run much just now, he didn't seem to be sweating much.
Hanamaki: "I have a question."
Lin Zhaoxi: "Please tell me."
"Are you really not a special badminton recruit?"
"Your question is a bit tactful, please be more direct."
"Okay, how did you bring Li Peizhi?"
Lin Zhaoxi looked at Hanamaki with a smile.
"Don't talk about mathematics." Hanamaki warned her.
"Okay, it's a strategy. In the early stage, they were a little confused by our understanding of badminton rules. This is the idea of classmate Pei Zhi."
Hanamaki: "Isn't it too natural to be called Pei Zhi?"
Lin Zhaoxi: "..."
Hanamaki: "What about the later stage?"
"Have you watched "Oxford Mystery"?" Lin Zhaoxi made a foreshadowing.
"No, you continue."
"The male protagonist was playing bouncing ball, and then met the female protagonist. There were many grids and crosses drawn on the wall. The female protagonist asked her what you were doing. Guess the male protagonist's answer?"
Hanamaki: "I have a bad feeling."
"He said he was trying to figure out where he was running, based on where the bounced ball was and how high it would be, to figure out where the racket should make contact with the ball."
"But badminton is played against an opponent?"
Pei Zhi replied: "There will be more variables, but it is still possible to calculate the trajectory."
Hanamaki: "Shouldn't this kind of pretentious words be said by others, so what's the matter with you answering yourself?"
Lin Zhaoxi smiled: "It's not pretending, it's a line from a movie."
"Mom... of..." Hanamaki was angry.
"Okay, okay, let me buy you something to drink?" Lin Zhaoxi hurriedly smoothed things over, "What do you want to drink?"
"Sports drinks are fine." Pei Zhi was not polite.
"Thank you for plain water." Hanamaki replied.
Lin Zhaoxi took her mobile phone and ran to the vending machines on the sidelines. She chose a few at random and came back with a lot of water.
She put down her drink, chose a bottle in red packaging and handed it to Hanamaki.
Hanamaki's eyes straightened.
"How could you disrespect my personal wishes so much and force me to drink Coca-Cola, my God!" He said so, and his hand had already twisted the bottle cap vigorously.
There was a crisp sound of "stabbing", and the sour taste of carbonated drinks wafted away.
Lin Zhaoxi sat down beside Pei Zhi, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a sip, her eyes fell on the two couples facing each other in front of the net.
The author has something to say: Teacher Hanamaki's surname is Hanamaki, and her stage name is Ji Jiang.
