Chapter 141
Xu Shuai chuckled, unfazed by the two kicks he had received, and playfully pulled out his phone from his pocket. “I just thought the atmosphere was a bit tense, so I figured I’d lighten things up a bit.”
He glanced at his phone.
“Li Juan and her roommates have already gone in. Let’s head in too.”
It was a day off, and since it was still morning, the badminton hall wasn’t too crowded.
As soon as they entered, they spotted four graceful figures stretching.
Putting aside their looks for a moment, their figures were definitely a feast for the eyes.
Xu Shuai swallowed hard. “Guys, today is my turf, so you better hold back a bit!”
“You didn’t mention that Shen Mengjie would be here,” Huang Fei pointed out.
“And you didn’t say that Han Xiaojing would be here either,” Li Longlong added.
Upon seeing Shen Mengjie and Han Xiaojing, Huang Fei and Li Longlong instinctively began to fix their hair and adjust their clothes.
“Hey, hey, hey, what are you guys doing? Didn’t we agree that today is my show?” Xu Shuai said, a hint of panic creeping into his voice as he watched Huang Fei and Li Longlong.
“Sorry, bro, but today it’s every man for himself!”
With a lewd grin, he dashed toward Shen Mengjie.
“Damn, I should’ve known you were this bold! Wait for me!” Li Longlong, not wanting to be outdone, sprinted after him.
“Wait, wait for me! This is my turf!” Xu Shuai momentarily flustered, quickly regained his composure and chased after the two.
Long Aotian watched the scene unfold and couldn’t help but laugh; these guys were just too entertaining.
As soon as they entered, Wang Li Juan and her friends noticed them.
The surprise in their eyes was unmistakable, landing squarely in the girls’ line of sight.
Just as boys are drawn to girls for their looks, figures, or personalities, girls also enjoy the feeling of being admired and pursued by boys.
“Xiaojing, I told you Long Aotian would definitely show up,” Shen Mengjie whispered to Han Xiaojing.
Hearing this, Han Xiaojing felt a blush creeping up her cheeks.
Wang Li Juan and another roommate, Zhang Mengmeng, couldn’t help but nudge Han Xiaojing with their shoulders. They didn’t need to say a word; the laughter in their eyes said it all.
“This is your chance, girl! You’ve got to seize it,” Wang Li Juan teased.
“Stop it, you guys! Can you not say such things?” Han Xiaojing felt her face heat up, unable to lift her head.
“Okay, okay, we’re just joking. Mengmeng, why don’t you show off a little in front of Long Aotian later?” Shen Mengjie joked.
Zhang Mengmeng turned slightly at this.
Though she wasn’t the most stunning among the girls, her figure was the best of the four. The way she carried herself was simply captivating.
Her personality was also different from Han Xiaojing’s quiet demeanor; she was more on the shy side.
At this moment, hearing Shen Mengjie’s words, her face turned a deep shade of red.
“So you guys are all from the same dorm?” Huang Fei was the first to run over, but once he got there, he didn’t know what to say and could only awkwardly make small talk.
Shen Mengjie chuckled, “You didn’t even ask me.”
Compared to her other roommates, Shen Mengjie had far more experience in these matters.
Seeing her smile at him, Huang Fei couldn’t help but lower his head, a grin breaking through.
“Uh, hi,” Li Longlong said, arriving a step behind Huang Fei, and quietly greeted Han Xiaojing.
Han Xiaojing nodded slightly, but her gaze drifted to Long Aotian, who was not far behind.
“Li Juan, can I call you that?” Xu Shuai approached Wang Li Juan, feeling a bit shy in front of her after having flirted through his phone.
“Seriously, in front of so many people?” Wang Li Juan shot him a look.
Though she rolled her eyes, Xu Shuai felt a surge of happiness; after all, she hadn’t rejected him.
And didn’t Old Huang’s top ten dating theories say that having thick skin is crucial when pursuing girls? Xu Shuai might not have many strengths, but he could definitely claim that one.
“Hi, I’m Long Aotian,” he said, smiling as he introduced himself to Zhang Mengmeng.
“Hi, I’m Zhang Mengmeng,” she replied softly.
The eight of them had inadvertently formed groups during this first meeting.
**Chapter 170: Girls Who Know How to Use Their Physical Advantages**
Compared to the other three groups, the interaction between Long Aotian and Zhang Mengmeng was the most normal.
From the start, Long Aotian positioned himself as a wingman, taking some of the heat off Xu Shuai.
Today was Xu Shuai’s show.
“Tired? Want to take a break?” Long Aotian asked, noticing Zhang Mengmeng’s flushed face.
Zhang Mengmeng nodded. It wasn’t that she was tired; it was just that playing badminton sometimes required jumping, and feeling the movement in her chest made her a bit self-conscious.
Long Aotian bought a few bottles of water and handed one to Zhang Mengmeng before sitting down.
Han Xiaojing noticed that Long Aotian had stopped playing and looked at Li Longlong, suggesting they take a break.
Li Longlong, of course, didn’t object and eagerly set down his racket to join her.
“Drink some water and take a break,” Long Aotian said, pointing to the water bottles on the ground, giving Li Longlong a knowing look.
Li Longlong understood immediately, quickly grabbing two bottles and handing one to Han Xiaojing.
“Thank you,” Han Xiaojing smiled, nodding her head in gratitude.
“No need to thank me,” Li Longlong replied, and then, when no one was looking, he gave Long Aotian a thumbs-up.
People who aren’t talkative tend to be observant.
The little exchanges between the two didn’t go unnoticed by Zhang Mengmeng, who was sitting next to Long Aotian, and she couldn’t help but chuckle.
Hearing her laugh, Long Aotian turned to her and playfully shushed her, signaling her to keep quiet.
Zhang Mengmeng blushed at his gesture, smiling shyly and nodding.
Before long, the remaining four joined them. Having learned from Li Longlong’s example, Xu Shuai and Huang Fei were the first to approach, grabbing water bottles and offering them to the girls.
Shen Mengjie took a bottle and stood in front of everyone, unscrewing the cap and taking a drink.
Her outfit was relatively revealing compared to the other girls; her flat, toned abdomen was exposed, and her tight pants accentuated her perfect legs. As she tilted her head back to drink, her stomach subtly undulated, creating an indescribable allure.
“Thanks!” After finishing her drink, she playfully waved the bottle at the mesmerized Huang Fei.
Her every move had him completely captivated.
In truth, Shen Mengjie’s actions were quite enticing; she was beautiful and had a great figure.
However, since they all had their sights set on someone, aside from Huang Fei, the others were more restrained. Even when they looked, they didn’t dare to stare as openly as Huang Fei did.
Xu Shuai first nudged Li Longlong with his toe, then frantically gestured at him. “Old Li, want to practice for a bit?”
“Sure!” Li Longlong was eager to show off in front of Han Xiaojing, so he immediately picked up his racket and headed over.
The two began.
One was showcasing his badminton skills, executing smashes from various angles and heights.
The other was demonstrating his extraordinary jumping ability.
Especially as they noticed the four girls huddled together, whispering and giggling, both felt they were the topic of conversation, which only spurred them to show off even more.
But Xu Shuai was a natural at this, appearing relaxed throughout the match. During the game, he even chatted with Huang Fei, “Hey Huang, want to join in?”
This had been agreed upon back in the dorm—playing in pairs or even threes, with the focus on highlighting Xu Shuai.
“I’m talking to you!” Shen Mengjie leaned back, seemingly searching for a more comfortable angle, but in reality, this move perfectly showcased her figure.
At least Shen Mengjie knew how to leverage her advantages.
Every gesture was tantalizing.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Huang Fei immediately jumped at the chance to join in; he was eager to demonstrate his prowess in front of Shen Mengjie.
Facing two opponents, Xu Shuai finally took things a bit more seriously, but he felt that taking on two made him look even cooler.
And indeed, when a guy is focused on something, his concentration can make him appear different in a girl’s eyes.
At least Wang Li Juan’s gaze toward Xu Shuai had noticeably changed.
Shen Mengjie gently nudged Han Xiaojing with her shoulder, signaling her to go talk to Long Aotian.
Han Xiaojing hesitated, making Shen Mengjie feel a bit helpless.
“Long Aotian?” Shen Mengjie looked up and smiled at him.
Long Aotian turned his attention to Shen Mengjie.
