Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

"Do you know what you're doing?"

After listening to the negotiation between Su Qing and Miura, Yukinoshita looked almost incredulous.

You know, Yui has just explained it, Su Qing couldn't be unaware that she couldn't perform at her normal strength now. Even in such a situation, she still had to win a game of tennis without losing a single round, and it wasn't even 1v1, but 1v2. Is this possible?

"If I lose, it's not a loss, right?"

Su Qing didn't explain too much, just said casually.

"Come on, Xiaoqing!"

After hearing what Yui said, Yukinoshita looked at her helplessly:

"Do you agree with his approach?"

“Eh…I don’t know.”

Yui was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly:

"But Xiaoxue, don't you think this is super cool?"

After saying that, Yui excitedly made strange gestures again.

My friend...something seems to be seriously wrong.

Looking at Yui's silly look, Yukinoshita had a headache:

"Do you know what it means to win from Miura without losing a single game?"

"I, I also know that it's difficult, but I believe Xiaoqing won't fight a battle without preparation!"

Yui explained with a smile, and Hikigaya beside her nodded in agreement:

"Yeah, when has Su Qing ever suffered a loss? It was the same in the last joint exam. He got first place without saying anything."

Hikigaya was obviously so immersed in Ayaka's gentleness that he became stupid. He actually mentioned this matter to Yukinoshita, the former number one... Although the other party didn't care, the previous Hikigaya would not dare to be so blunt!

Su Qing sighed that the times have really changed, even Yui knows how to use allusions from the mainland;

Then he sighed at the changes in Hikigaya, feeling like an old father who was worried about his children.

“I have no choice but to go.”

Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief. The matter was done. Now she could only place her hopes on Su Qing.

"Let's go, partner."

Su Qing said to Xueshita with a smile, and the latter responded with an unaccustomed look, and then the two of them walked towards the court.

"It's not too late to regret the bet we just made."

In front of the net, Miura hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"No thanks, Miura-san. Let's get started."

What a joke, I deliberately took such a big step to let Miura fall into the trap, wasn't it just to let the other party do things for me? Now I regret it, where can I find such a good opportunity?

"Tsk, do whatever you want. Anyway, don't say I didn't give you a chance after the game."

Miura snorted coldly and returned to his own defensive area. The third set of the game began.

Su Qing stood behind the baseline, his feet shoulder-width apart, leaning forward slightly, and as he took a deep breath, his body began to accumulate strength. Then, Su Qing gently tossed the tennis ball up, and his non-racket hand also pointed in the direction of the tossed ball. Then, at the moment the ball reached its highest point, he quickly swung the racket and hit the ball out with almost no rotation.

Then, the tennis ball left the serving area at an extremely fast speed, and its flight trajectory was almost a straight line, heading directly towards Miura's defensive area.

"15 to 0."

Before Miura and Hayama could even react, Su Qing's serve had already scored.

Was that just... a flat serve?

Although the flat serve is a common professional serving method, Miura naturally practiced and experienced it frequently in middle school. She also knows that this type of serve is characterized by high precision and high speed.

But this was the first time she had seen such a speed...

No, it was an accident, right? There are also people who are naturally strong and have hit this kind of ball accidentally, so it is not impossible...

"30 to 0."

"45 to 0."

……

"5-0, Su Qing and Yukinoshita are leading and entering the final round."

Miura:?

I don’t know either. We’ve already entered the final round…

At this moment, Miura was about to collapse. From the beginning, she couldn't even take a ball from Su Qing, let alone a game!

You know, before she quit the county tennis team, she was not beaten like this.

Putting aside the fact that her tennis skills were completely inferior to or even better than hers, the power of each ball from her opponent was so strong that several times her racket was hit directly out. Even now, she felt a tingling discomfort in her arms.

The most exaggerated thing is that the opponent almost defended two people by himself. Although this was also due to Ye Shan's lack of strength, wasn't she also attacking Yukinoshita's defense area?

However, the opponent's reaction nerves were like a cheat. Every ball aimed at Yukinoshita was easily hit back and scored by the opponent, so that Yukinoshita was lucky enough to retreat behind the out-of-bounds line in the end, leaving enough room for Su Qing to play.

Is this guy Su Qing...really still a human being?

Without giving Miura much time to breathe or think, Su Qing defeated Miura with a few smashes.

With the referee's whistle, the farce came to an end.

"6 to 0, Su Qing and Yukinoshita win!"

"I don't want to play tennis anymore..."

Miura was sweating profusely and breathing heavily, her face turned pale. In order to prevent her from falling, Ye Shan also considerately put one of her hands on his shoulder to share his weight with her. Worried that she would be hit too hard, he comforted her:

"It's okay, Yumiko. You've done great."

Miura: Ahem, actually playing tennis is pretty good too...

"Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing! You were so awesome just now!"

Yui's eyes were full of admiration. If it weren't for her ankle injury, she would have jumped over to Su Qing and chattered.

"You...are really strong enough to be scary."

Hikigaya also sent a congratulatory message.

"It's all thanks to you guys that you almost exhausted Miura's energy in the first two rounds. I got the upper hand."

Su Qing did not take all the credit for himself. He then looked at Xuexia and said with a smile:

"It's not bad to trust the feeling of being a partner, right?"

And Yukinoshita just hummed lightly and quickly turned her head away.

"When do you need me to contact them?"

At this time, Ye Shan slowly walked over with Miura, the latter still breathing heavily, and asked.

"Well, just in the next few days. The sooner the better. Thank you for your help."

At present, the plan has been half implemented. Su Qing also expressed his condolences to Sanpu symbolically. It was too easy for Su Qing to make promises and comfort him, which only required him to move his mouth.

"Tsk, so hypocritical."

Miura snorted, but didn't say anything else. He nodded to indicate that he would do it, and then left with Hayama and the others.

"Um...will this really work?"

Ayaka had just heard about the new bet between Su Qing and Miura. If Su Qing's method was feasible, then she would no longer need to ask the Service Club to improve her tennis skills.

"Who knows? But I have to try all methods. If this doesn't work, I will play against the members of the tennis club one by one. Maybe I can make them regain their enthusiasm."

Hikigaya: If you want to defeat them and bring in new blood, just say so...

However, he decided not to complain about this today.

Of course, Hikigaya can guarantee that he is definitely not afraid of Su Qing who just finished playing basketball and still has blue veins on his arms...

If he is afraid, he would be willing even if Ayaka quits the tennis club and joins the service club with him!

"By the way, once the tennis club gets back to normal, would you consider joining the service club?"

Su Qing suddenly started poaching people.

Hikigaya:? ? ! !

“Hey, but…?”

Caijia was obviously a little hesitant.

"Would you mind speaking to me alone?"

"Oh, yes."

Afterwards, Su Qing and Ayaka went to a deserted place not far away under Yui's puzzled gaze and Hikigaya's jealous gaze.

"You joined the tennis club to improve your tennis skills and then team up with Hachiman, right?"

Su Qing suddenly spoke.

"?!"

Seeing Caijia's panic, Su Qing explained:

"Don't be nervous... I just asked the girl who was on your team before, and I found out that the place where you play every time is coincidentally chosen to be where you can see Hachiman, right? You know, that girl often chooses to play with the corner in a deserted corner."

"No, that's not the case. It's just a coincidence..."

"Coincidence? Then before I teamed up with Hachiman, you had been watching him silently. On the day he and I teamed up, you suddenly showed up and played with Hachiman under the pretext that your partner had asked for leave. Is that also a coincidence?"

"I... But even so, it doesn't mean anything..."

Caijia took a deep breath and asked back.

"My guess."

"?"

"Maybe you haven't noticed it yourself, but when you look at Hachiman, there's always a hint of inferiority in your eyes. Is it because you're not confident in yourself, or do you feel that you're not qualified to stand by his side?"

Caijia remained silent, and Su Qing suddenly felt a little emotional:

"Actually, those are all my guesses. Since I have guessed so much today, I want to guess one more thing."

Although Su Qing's tone was easygoing, what he said next made Caijia's hair stand on end.

"You...are really a woman."

"How, how is it possible? I am really a boy. I was sick before, and the doctor said that my male hormone secretion is insufficient, resulting in the lack of obvious secondary sexual characteristics, so my Adam's apple is not very prominent... Everyone, everyone knows this."

Ayaka explained incoherently, stuttering because of nervousness, and her hands were unconsciously intertwined.

Su Qing did not question the other party's statement, but turned his gaze to Hikigaya and others not far away and said softly:

"The time in college is very short, not to mention that the Service Club will be disbanded sooner or later. Maybe the club will still exist, but the president will definitely not be the current Yukinoshita Yukino, and naturally there will not be someone named [Hikigaya Hachiman] in it."

Su Qing turned his gaze to Caijia again, his voice calm as water, no emotion could be heard:

"In a true farewell, there is no long pavilion or ancient road, nor is there any "Please drink another cup of wine". It is just a morning like any other. Some people stay in yesterday, and some people cannot wait for tomorrow. That's it.

So, don’t always worry too much. It’s good to be willful occasionally, isn’t it?

Okay, I've said everything I want to say, let's go, Hachiman has been staring at me from the beginning, I can't stand it anymore."

After saying this, Su Qing really did as he said and did not continue talking. After the man's wound had been treated, he was able to walk on his own, so Su Qing went back on his own.

Ayaka stood there in a daze, noticing that Hikigaya was really looking at them, or more precisely, looking at her, just as Su Qing said. Then she came to her senses and followed Su Qing back to the group.

Then, under the puzzled gazes of several people, Caijia finally made up her mind:

"Um, I want to join the service club, please!"
