——Is that really what she said?
Tao You really looked at the sky outside the window and thought seriously. I have to admit that what Hong Xiqi said makes sense. If someone treated her like this, as if they were playing tricks on her, she wouldn't be happy, and she might even hold a grudge for a long time.
She thought to herself, and her head nodded involuntarily.
"But, there is still a difference here." Hong Xiqi's face said, "I have seen through him. He listens selectively. But, among the available options, you are the only one." .”
Yes and only.
These four words hit Tao You's heart at once, and his heart trembled a few times.
If he said he was not moved, it would be a lie. Tao You could not help but curl up the corners of his lower lips. After noticing Hong Xiqi's teasing eyes, he quickly straightened the corners of his mouth and said stiffly, "Song Xiaoan and Ting Song Yimian can also listen to what Auntie Wan and the others say. He has many options to choose from, and I am not the only one."
"Bah," Tao You corrected, "Maybe I'm not even an option."
"Tsk, you're a bit deceiving yourself." Hong Xiqi crossed her arms and disagreed with Tao You's words. "I'm telling you, before you say this, please lower the corner of your mouth." She He directly touched the corner of Tao You's mouth.
The cold fingertips touched Tao You's hot cheek, causing goosebumps to appear on her face.
"Duplicity." Hong Xiqi looked at Tao You's increasingly red cheeks and sneered, not bothering to expose her.

"Sister Xiaoyou, we're back!" Song Xiao'an walked at the front and jumped back, "What are you talking about?"
Tao You glanced at the people following closely behind and asked, "What did you eat?" She saw that Yuan Yuzhou kept touching his belly and burping, looking very full, so he must have eaten something delicious.
Zhang San sat down, threw Yuan Yuzhou's schoolbag to him, licked the gap between his teeth, and said, "There are too many people in the nearby shops, so I just ate some fast food. Haven't you eaten yet?"
"You haven't eaten yet?" Yuan Yuzhou rubbed his belly, "How can you cheer for your idol if you don't eat enough? After shouting a few times, your energy will be gone."
——I can see that you are well prepared.
"We should wait until the game is over to eat." Hong Xiqi replied, "The coach said that dinner will be here at twelve o'clock, so it will be soon."
Song Xiaoan stretched his neck in the direction of the third player on the field and asked, "Is Song Yimian's game over, or has it not started yet?"
"Beep!——"
As soon as she finished speaking, Court Three remembered the whistle. Xu Yanxi raised his hand to wipe his sweat and walked to the sidelines to shake hands with the other party.
"The next match is Song Yimian." Tao You said, "Doubles."
"One to win, four to zero." The referee's unhurried voice came from the microphone and echoed throughout the venue.
The player on the opposite side walked off the court dejectedly, and the female coach who had been waiting on the sidelines patted him on the shoulder with an unclear expression to express comfort.
"Next game, one against Yi Hui, ready for doubles." The referee took the ball handed to him by the staff again and inspected it.
"Four to zero, this is not saving any face." Song Xiaoan wiped his hand cream and shook his head and sighed, "The people in your school are so cruel."
Tao You suddenly remembered Coach Tan's repeated instructions to these three people before the game started in the morning, and her intuition told her that this was what they were told.
"They have the strength to win, so why would they lose on purpose?" Yuan Yuzhou retorted.
Song Xiaoan glanced at him lightly, "Friendship comes first, competition comes second. Why do we have to fight to the death and leave a way for each other? There might be cooperation between schools in the future. It may have an impact on the enrollment of students. Take a long-term view and don’t just look at winning or losing the game in front of you.”
"Have you never let water out during a competition?" Song Xiaoan glanced at Luo Xiaowei and then at Yuan Yuzhou, "Didn't Luo Xiaowei tell you this?"
「······」
Yuan Yuzhou seemed to have figured out why no one came to chat with him every time he competed with other schools. Even Zhang San could make a few friends, but he always made friends one-sidedly.
Thinking about it again, Luo Xiaowei and the others seemed to have warned him overtly and covertly more than once, but he completely forgot about it as soon as he came on the stage.
He quickly glanced at Luo Xiaowei, who was sitting domineeringly and talking to Xie Yu, and then squinted at Song Xiaoan, his nostrils slightly flared, he gritted his teeth, and turned around unconvinced, "Humph."
——————————————————————————————
Song Yimian and Gu Yi stood in front of Coach Tan, doing their final warm-up exercises.
Coach Tan's face showed happiness, worry, blame, and helplessness at the same time... Anyway, it was a very complicated expression.
He put his hands on his hips, glanced at the captain who was sitting on the bench next to him, his head bowed and quietly wiping his sweat, and he said seriously, "I told you not to hit too hard, and the score should be better, why do you give me a four to zero? What do you want the other party to do?" He said, patted his face, and then glanced at Yihui Middle School over there through Song Yimian and Gu Yi, who was also preparing, "First place in the competition... Phew, friendship comes first, competition comes second. Don’t tell me you haven’t heard this before!”
"Old Tan, we have already given in. Even though the captain put in too much effort just now, the opponent still failed to score. That can only be because they are not living up to expectations and do not know how to seize the opportunity. What does it have to do with us?" Gu Yi was doing. Stretching to show that they are really innocent.
Of course Coach Tan knows how much water the captain has used. He has always been a quick-fix character. The way he usually releases water during training is so low-level that even a fool can see through it at a glance. However, this time it took him so long to finish these two games. The competition is indeed a waste of time and effort.
He covered his mouth and coughed twice, trying hard to suppress the rising excitement and pride in his heart. He glared at him pretending to be serious, "Shh!" He looked around and acted like a hands-off shopkeeper, "I don't care, anyway. It can't be 6-0 in the end, you just have to figure it out."
Song Yimian and Gu Yi looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Okay, you said so." Gu Yi shrugged, "As long as it's not six to zero, that's fine."
Coach Tan had a bad feeling in his heart. Putting his hands on his hips, he tilted his head back slightly, staring at Gu Yi and Song Yimian with half-closed eyes for a few seconds, and finally nodded slowly, "Yeah."
"Okay, I got it." Gu Yi nodded quickly, took the racket and walked to the court.
Coach Tan grabbed Song Yimian and asked worriedly, "What are you going to do?"
Song Yimian looked down at Coach Tan's hand holding his arm, gently stroked it away, raised his head and smiled at him, and walked onto the court without saying a word.
It's obviously a pretty smile, but why does it feel so creepy and scary?
Coach Tan looked at Song Yimian and Gu Yi who were walking next to the referee, took a few steps back, and said to Coach Sun in a slightly trembling voice, "Old Sun, why is my heart so sudden?" He raised his hand and pressed on it. Chest.
Coach Sun gave him a funny look and said, "I want you to exercise more and stay up late late at night to eat snacks. If you can't bear the pressure, I'll ask my sister-in-law to take you to the hospital for a checkup."
"No, no, no, this has nothing to do with staying up late and eating late night snacks." Coach Tan raised his hand to retort without looking back, "My intuition tells me that these two brats are going to become monsters." He turned his head and glanced at the straddling station. The female coach on the sidelines seems to be Yihui's new head coach, and the male coach standing by the bench holding a folder, "My popularity will be ruined by these brats. How can I meet other coaches in the future, really.”
"Old Sun, if this momentum continues, do you think we will be squeezed out by other coaches the next time we go out for a party?" Coach Tan asked worriedly.
Speaking of this, Coach Sun also sighed, "I don't know."
"Maybe, just treat me to a few meals."
Coach Tan rolled his eyes and began to feel sorry for his wallet again.
————————————————————————————
"The third doubles match of Group 3A, fifteen minutes of warm-up, starts now. No. 1 will start first." The referee climbed onto the referee chair again, straightened his clothes, and rested his hands on the small table that came with the high chair in front of him. , said while pressing the timer.
"Come on Yizhong!"
"Yi Hui will win!"
"It's already four to zero. No matter how hard Yihui fights, he can't win!"
"Song Yimian, come on!"
"Idol! I will always support you!"
"Come on, Gu Yi!"
"Idol!"
"Idol! Come on!"
「······」
Yuan Yuzhou made trumpet-like hands with his hands in front of his mouth, and roared with all his strength. Some of the words were even broken. He jumped and waved three times at the scene, silencing the voices of the people around him. He looked like a fanatical fan. . The surrounding audience and referees all looked at him, curious about who his idol was. Those who didn't know thought he was attending a concert.
The high cheers also made the audience full of expectations for this game, and those who were eating forgot to chew in their mouths.
The TV station staff know very well what the audience wants to see, and they will take close-ups from time to time during the game. At this moment, he immediately ordered the camera to turn in the direction of Yuan Yuzhou.
Zhang San and the others once again took out their hats from their bags in tacit agreement.
"I kind of know why they wear hats every time I see them." Hong Xiqi came close to Tao You and whispered, "I thought their heads were afraid of the cold."...
Tao You turned her head. Among the rows of colorful hats, her and Hong Xiqi's heads without hats were very conspicuous.
"Idol!" Yuan Yuzhou didn't know that he had been featured in a close-up, so he shouted again.
More people came over. Tao You and Hong Xiqi noticed the camera not far away. They raised their hands to put on the hats that came with their coats and lowered their heads.
