071. Arm Injury
The girls on the side teased each other because of Qin Yang's gaze. Guo Youling suddenly poked her head out and looked at He Jin, who was a few seats away. "Is Qin Yang looking at Senior He? Are you here to watch the match because of him? "
Everyone burst into laughter. He Jinxian had heard Tong Xuan mention the gossip between the girls, so he knew that they were just joking. However, he had a guilty conscience, so when he heard what Guo Youling said, he felt awkward. He retorted expressionlessly, "No, I was just bored, so I came over to take a look."
The girls saw that he was serious and stopped laughing.
Tong Xuan thought it was strange. He Jin had admitted that he was close to Qin Yang when they had coffee together. It was not a big deal for him to watch a friend's match. She opened the bag of chips and offered it to He Jin. She whispered, "I've never seen you come out to watch a match before. What's wrong? You've really changed?"
Yes, his life had really changed a lot. He remembered the first time he saw Qin Yang. There was a tennis match that day, and Qin Yang and his teammates were rushing to the court. In their haste, Qin Yang knocked over the lunchbox in his hands. At that time, he felt that these activities had nothing to do with him as a junior. He was confused and tired.
But now, he was playing the husband and wife game with Shang Huo in the game. In real life, he was learning to play tennis with Qin Yang. He drank, stayed up all night, and even fell in love with someone of the same gender. He thought that he could indulge himself to his heart's content, but the sudden change left him at a loss.
He Jin smiled at Tong Xuan and waved his hand to reject her chips. Hou Dongyan asked for it with a drooling face. Tong Xuan rolled her eyes at him and passed the chips over to He Jin.
The players from both schools shook hands on the court, and the match officially began. There were two doubles matches. Guo Youling's boyfriend, Zhao Xibai, was in the first match. The girls around him were cheering. The carefree and joyous atmosphere infected He Jin, and he shouted, "Go!"
The tennis club of Smoke City University wasn't as famous as Huaxia University, but they had also produced a few outstanding new players this year. Furthermore, the president of Huaxia University, Jiang Baijian, intended to let the freshmen players practice their skills. Therefore, the match wasn't completely one-sided, and it was still worth watching.
In the first match, Zhao Xibai led a male freshman and won the match 6: 4. In the second match, it was a doubles match. Hua University sent out two freshmen to fight against a veteran from the University of Smoke. Although they weren't a match for him, they performed well. Even though they lost, the few shots they scored were quite spectacular.
After the doubles match was tied, it was time for the singles match. Qin Yang was the first to enter the ring, and the crowd erupted once again. Even the cheerleaders from the opposing school held their faces in their hands as they stared at him, causing the girls from Huaxia University to laugh.
Qin Yang had just gone to warm up. This time, when he went on stage, he did not look at the audience, but focused on his opponent!
"Zhang Xiao!" Guo Youling immediately introduced the opponent's name and explained, "He's the president of the Yanjing University Tennis Club. He's a junior this year … Wow, they're really brave. They actually sent their captain to beat Qin Yang!"
He Jin was puzzled. "What's wrong? Is he really that good? "
He saw that the person on the other side of the net did not look as tall as Qin Yang. He was less than 1.8 meters tall, and he was not very muscular. He looked quite handsome. When Zhang Xiao entered the ring, the girls from the opposing school came back to their senses. They waved their colored balls and shouted his name in unison.
Guo Youling said, "I heard from Zhao Xibai that he's the only opponent from the University of Smoke who has the strength to compete with our ace. He seems to be very fast … Oh, right, Qin Yang is the ace of Huaxia University!"
They were still chatting when the referee in the other room waved his flag, and the match began.
Unlike in cartoons, where the two aces would talk trash to each other before the match began, Qin Yang was the one who started the match. He leaped to serve the ball and followed it into the net. In the blink of an eye, he returned the ball that Zhang Xiao had hit back!
Referee: "1: 0!"
The stadium was silent for two seconds, and then there was a sudden burst of screams. Qin Yang had made the first move. Zhang Xiao was fast, but he was faster than his opponent.
The player did not wait for the audience to finish cheering. He returned the stones and started the second ball. It was the same trick. This time, Zhang Xiao did not get hit, but Qin Yang did not let him off. He retreated to the baseline and slashed the ball, continuing to score!
The two successful balls pushed the atmosphere on the court to its peak.
Zhao Xibai came up with a bag of drinks to look for his girlfriend. As he watched the commotion in the stadium, he shook his head and said with a smile, "Our limelight has been stolen by him alone!"
The girls took the drinks that Zhao Xibai handed over. One of them said, "You did well too. I'll give you a like."
Zhao Xibai saw that there was no space, so he squatted down beside her and said with a bitter face, "One like is not enough."
Guo Youling said, "Then we'll give you one by one."
Zhao Xibai: "No amount of praise can compare to being handsome!"
Everyone laughed. Guo Youling said, "Actually, President Jiang is also in the limelight. Will he be playing today?"
Zhao Xibai: "If Qin Yang can win, let a rookie go up and try. If he can't win, let him go up."
Tong Xuan: "They can even switch players at the last minute?"
Zhao Xibai: "It's a friendly match …"
As they spoke, Qin Yang had already won the game 6-2. They switched places. Everyone saw him and Zhang Xiao give each other a high five when they brushed past each other. They did not look like opponents but more like friends. Sure enough, someone who did not know asked, "Eh, they know each other?"
Zhao Xibai: "Yeah, they used to be high school classmates."
Tong Xuan: "What school are they from?"
Zhao Xibai: "I think it's some kind of bilingual school."
Tong Xuan: "City A's Shun Cheng Bilingual School?"
Zhao Xibai: "Yes, yes, yes! That's it! "
Hou Dongyan interjected, "What school is that? I've only heard of No. 4 High School and Fu Zhong in City A."
Tong Xuan: "It's one of the best private high schools in City A …"
Someone sighed. "Wow, the tuition there costs more than a hundred thousand a year. Qin Yang is really a rich second-generation heir!"
Guo Youling and the others, who had already been treated to a meal at the Kunming Lake scenic area, looked at each other in dismay, indicating that they already knew about this …
The voices in his ears gradually faded away. He Jin once again focused his attention on Qin Yang. At this moment, he and Zhang Xiao were already in the fourth game. They were evenly matched. Zhang Xiao had only fallen behind at the start and was now chasing him relentlessly.
He Jin looked at Qin Yang with rapt attention. It was as if his soul had been transferred to Zhang Xiao, who was opposite him. He watched him sprint and jump, swing his racket, and hit the ball. Every movement affected his nerves.
He wished that the person who could stand opposite Qin Yang was him. The person who could play with him was also him, but he did not have that strength. Moreover, he knew that so many people liked him and that he did not lack friends around him. In addition, compared to Qin Yang's gentleness when he accompanied him to buy a racket that day, the other party's recent coldness made He Jin feel more and more inferior and depressed …
At this moment, Zhang Xiao quickly hit a ball diagonally. He Jin, who had been playing the opponent's role, instinctively felt that Qin Yang might not be able to catch the ball at this distance. But when he saw Qin Yang's ankle turn and fly over, he instantly stood up nervously!
Sure enough, Qin Yang, who was struggling to chase, flew out horizontally. He relied on the length of his body and arm to catch the ball, but he fell heavily to the ground. His arm scraped against the rough rubber, and the audience gasped.
The referee immediately made a middle finger gesture and went forward to ask about Qin Yang's injury. At the same time, the Huada Tennis Club's medical staff followed. The two wanted to support Qin Yang, but Qin Yang got up by himself. His expression did not show much pain, but the bloody abrasions on his hand were shocking.
The medical staff hurriedly disinfected him with a disinfectant spray and did a simple bandage. A few minutes later, the referee raised his flag to signal for the match to continue.
Guo Youling: "Oh my god, it looks like he suffered a serious injury. Is it really okay?"
Zhao Xibai: "It should be just a scratch …"
Another person said, "But his right arm is injured. Won't it affect his performance?"
The girls couldn't bear to watch. They covered their mouths with distressed expressions. They would rather Qin Yang forfeit than see him play with an injury. But Qin Yang would not. Zhao Xibai also said, "It can't be helped. Qin Yang has the strongest desire to win I've ever seen. Unless he fainted from the fall, there's no way he would give up."
Hou Dongyan praised, "Junior Qin is really manly!"
He Jin, who was in a daze, only remembered to sit down when someone tugged at his sleeve. His forehead was dripping with a layer of cold sweat.
It was Tong Xuan who tugged at him. In fact, from the moment he realized Qin Yang was about to fall and suddenly stood up, Tong Xuan's attention was on him. She clearly saw He Jin's nervous expression, worried eyes, tightly clenched fists, and the desire to rush onto the court …
He Jin had changed. It wasn't just that he no longer cared about the Student Council, nor did he come out to watch the game to pass time. It was something more intrinsic. From the moment He Jin said he wanted to hug her … At the time, she couldn't say it, but now she felt it strongly.
Especially the way he looked at Qin Yang just now. It was too focused, too caring, and there was a trace of puzzling emotion in it. It didn't seem like something a boy would have when looking at another boy.
Even though He Jin sat down, his fidgeting appearance and tightly furrowed brows made Tong Xuan have a strange thought: He Jin couldn't really be … gay, right?
Everyone watched Qin Yang continue to play with trepidation. Zhang Xiao didn't go easy on him because of his injury. The two of them even played to an extended final. In the end, Qin Yang won by a narrow margin of seven to five.
After the game ended, Qin Yang and Zhang Xiao stood in front of the net and shook hands. The two of them chatted and laughed. Zhang Xiao seemed to be concerned about Qin Yang's arm. Qin Yang raised it for him to look at. The atmosphere between the two of them was completely different from when they were at daggers drawn on the court.
When Qin Yang left the stage, he raised his head once again. His gaze drifted in He Jin's direction. He Jin didn't know if Qin Yang was looking at him, but this time, he instinctively stood up and said a few simple greetings to the people around him before leaving the spectator stands.
Tong Xuan: "Uh, Qin Yang was looking at … He Jin?"
Guo Youling: "If he wasn't looking at him, why would he leave?"
All the girls: "…"
He Jin wanted to go down and look at Qin Yang's hand, whether it was a greeting from an ordinary friend or a concern from a good friend … if he could see it.
From the stands to the tennis court, he had to go around the back, but it was a match now, so unrelated people couldn't enter.
When He Jin went down, Qin Yang was coming out of the court. He went around the hollow metal fence in the direction that He Jin had come from. Many of the spectators in the stands weren't in the mood to watch the fourth singles player. They were all looking at Qin Yang.
He Jin didn't expect Qin Yang to come out first. The two of them met outside the metal fence. He Jin was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Is your hand okay?"
Qin Yang stood there and gave an irrelevant answer with a smile. "You're here."
