Love is as simple as badminton.

Chapter 55 How could even this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes betray the revolution!

"21:10, Match Ends! Lin Xiang Wins 2-0 and Advances!"

After nearly an hour of intense competition, the first semi-final of the men's singles event came to an end.

Although the result was a foregone conclusion, the exciting process garnered a lot of applause.

Liu Jingle's calm yet rapid acceleration and attack once overwhelmed the genius with his ordinary abilities; while Lin Xiang, unhurried and composed, relied on his terrifying stability and mentality to have the last laugh.

Even after entering the second game, when the situation was practically beyond saving, Liu Jingle still gave his all in every point.

Even until the very last moment before defeat, he was still desperately diving to make a save.

"We've been completely outmatched in every aspect... I have nothing to say, I'm utterly convinced today!"

During the post-match handshake, a hint of relief appeared on Liu Jingle's sweat-drenched face. "It was an honor to play against an opponent like you!"

Lin Xiang nodded and replied earnestly, "I'm honored too."

When he was behind in the first game, he wasn't entirely confident of catching up, and he never thought about whether there would be a three-game series. All he could think about was focusing on playing well in the present moment.

He hadn't expected Liu Jingle to cause such a huge impact. Although he had studied his opponent before the match, Liu Jingle's performance today far exceeded the information he had gathered beforehand.

The allure of competitive sports lies in surpassing oneself every moment.

The two then picked up their golf bags and left the field.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance to the players' waiting area, a girl with a pink jersey and a bun hairstyle pounced on Liu Jingle.

"You're amazing, baby!"

In front of a crowd of passersby and even photographers, the girl gave Liu Jingle a quick kiss, saying, "Let's go get some barbecue!"

"Haha, okay."

Liu Jingle smiled shyly, waved goodbye to Lin Xiang, and said, "Master Lin, I'll have to take my leave now..."

The passersby who were chatting and laughing just moments ago are now unable to laugh. Like a stray dog ​​that's been eating half a piece of food and suddenly gets kicked, their chests ache.

Feng Biao, Yang Rui, and others, who had originally intended to comfort Liu Jingle, also revealed expressions of gritted teeth.

You little rascal, you can't stand not killing a dog for a day, can you?

How can I play badminton well if I'm spending all my time with my girlfriend?

For a moment, they even vaguely sided with Lin Xiang.

Lin Shen is truly more focused! The semi-finals have just ended, and he's already seriously contemplating the finals. That's what a badminton master should be like.

Look, even Senior Sister Shi is captivated by his charm and comes over to hand him water... Wait a minute? Senior Sister Shi?

Amidst the stunned gazes of everyone, Shi Yuqi jogged up to Lin Xiang, abruptly stopped, and shoved the bread and chocolate from her bag into his hands.

"You really went all out in this game; I felt exhausted just watching you from the stands!"

The girl's voice was anxious as she glanced at her watch. "Eat something quickly, tonight's final is sure to be another fierce battle!"

"Thank you, senior."

Lin Xiang smiled and accepted the bread. "You didn't need to come all this way to deliver it. I haven't finished the one you gave me this morning."

"I was just afraid you'd forget again!" the girl pouted. "Who told you to have such a bad memory, always making me worry?"

"I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time."

"Huh? No need to apologize! Ugh, why are you being so serious... Hurry up and eat."

Urged on by Shi Yuqi, Lin Xiang transformed into a ruthless bread-eating machine, quickly finishing all the bread and then eating a banana.

Shi Yuqi's brows finally relaxed, as if she had confirmed that a major task had finally been completed, and she felt much more at ease.

Seeing Liu Jingle and his wife leaving the stadium hand in hand from afar, the girl pouted again, but her eyes didn't show the same gritted teeth as others; instead, they held a hint of anticipation and envy.

"Damn it, everyone's attacking the juniors, the energy expenditure is completely disproportionate!"

She murmured her grievances.

"fine."

Lin Xiang said seriously, "The consumption is mutual, and I will also attack them."

"No, he also used underhanded tactics!"

Shi Yuqi pointed to the young couple in the distance, "His girlfriend came to cheer him on, which is why he was so incredibly skilled in that game, and he was even more aggressive in the second game. He's never played that hard before!"

"Is that so?"

Lin Xiang scratched his head in thought, "I'm not sure, I haven't talked to him about it."

"Oh?"

Shi Yuqi glanced at him impassively, her peach blossom eyes sparkling under the light, shimmering with a bright and gentle luster like stars.

"Because practicing requires a lot of time."

Lin Xiang regained his serious expression and said, "Zhao Hao said that dating also requires a lot of time, but I don't have that much time, so I can only focus on practicing basketball."

"Do you have any plans in this regard for the future?"

"Yes. Professor Lü told us that building close relationships is an important way to embed oneself in social structures, cultural norms, and individual socialization. In this process, social support networks and individual social needs..."

"Stop! We don't need to be so academic!"

Shi Yuqi covered her mouth and chuckled, interrupting his spellcasting, "I'm asking about your own inner thoughts."

"If I meet the right person, I will seize the opportunity."

Without hesitation, Lin Xiang replied, "Zhao Hao once said that you should dare to face the voice of your own heart."

"Is that so..."

"So, senior, what does this have to do with the upcoming finals?"

"Haha, that does have something to do with it. Both of the players in the second half are single, so you don't have to worry about them using underhanded tactics this time."

Shi Yuqi waved her hand and got back to the main topic.

"You'll most likely be playing Wang Luo in the final, but nothing is absolute. If Zhao Jianlei advances, you should be prepared for both possibilities."

Wang Luo is a familiar opponent to you, so I don't need to say more. But the more familiar you are with someone, the less careless you should be. I noticed that he seems to have tried some new techniques in the earlier matches and has intentionally chosen a style of play that conserves energy. Be careful of his trump card in the final.

Zhao Jianlei's playing style is relatively steady and methodical, similar to Liu Jingle, but he doesn't have as strong an offensive desire and tends to hold onto the ball longer. If you're going to face him, you'll probably have to be prepared for a long battle.

The only certainty is that they will all go all out against you. Of course, this is the final, so you don't need to hold back either; just go all out!

Shi Yuqi watched Lin Xiang wipe away his sweat. "How are you, junior? Are you feeling tired now?"

"Yeah, I'm a little tired."

Lin Xiang put the towel away. "Normal consumption."

"Let's go then, I'll take you to the front row of the stands, you can see the game better from there! Walking over there will help you cool down."

"Yes, that would be perfect."

Shi Yuqi handed Lin Xiang a new towel, then snatched his golf bag and slung it over her shoulder. The two walked side by side toward the stands.

Behind him, the group of single people who had originally regarded Lin Xiang as a role model of badminton master were silent for two and a half seconds, and then let out a chorus of barking.

How could even this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes betray the revolution!

Why is the world so cruel to dogs?

Amidst the sighs, everyone turned their attention to the screen broadcasting the match, and a sense of shared hardship and mutual support arose among them.

These two single guys are better...

This match was essentially an internal battle between the school teams. Although it wasn't as thrilling as the previous game, both sides still played quite well.

However, just as everyone was predicting who would advance to the finals to face Lin Xiang, the exciting match came to an abrupt end, and gasps of surprise rang out both on and off the screen.
