There is a small square in the community for residents to enjoy leisure activities.
On the west side of the square is a badminton court with a simple boundary line. There are no barriers and it looks very simple.
Yu Zhesen and Chu Yuexi stood on both sides holding badminton rackets.
The rotating holiday system of the Security Bureau's Field Department has nothing to do with the normal Saturday and Sunday weekends. Today is a serious working day for most people, and there are not many idle people in the community square in the afternoon during the day.
"Let you serve first." Chu Yuexi took off her coat and was wearing a sky blue T-shirt.
Yu Zhesen's first serve was unremarkable. He deliberately did not use the technical guidance given by Shi Xin and relied entirely on his own true level to serve.
What he hit was a high throw. After crossing the center line at a large angle, it began to fall slowly.
Chu Yuexi, who was standing opposite, smiled and lightly picked up Yu Zhesen's high throw.
"Are you giving me some water?" Yu Zhisen jumped slightly and hit the ball back.
"I'll let you go." Chu Yuexi easily caught the ball, "Let's warm up first."
"Can you let me see a little bit of the badminton master's skills?"
"That's what you said..." Chu Yuexi's eyes became serious. Faced with the ball that was hit back to midfield by Yu Zhesen, he took off and hit an impressive lob.
Sure enough, Yu Zhesen couldn't see the path of her ball and mistakenly stepped back to catch it. As a result, the ball rocketed directly to the ground in front of the net.
"Let me serve instead." Chu Yuexi stepped forward and picked up the badminton that fell on the ground with her racket, returned to her own area and stood sideways.
Yu Zhesen stared at her movements with all his attention. Chu Yuexi raised the corner of her mouth and sent a forehand ball in front of the net.
This time, he finally made the right decision and quickly stepped forward to pick up the ball.
Chu Yuexi had also moved forward, and the two sides began to throw the ball high to each other, and the rhythm suddenly became faster.
After three rounds, Chu Yuexi seized the opportunity and scored the second point with a smash.
"No, no, no, I really can't beat you. Shi Xin, let's start cheating." Yu Zhesen ordered in his mind.
"Received, amateur level technology introduction?"
"I can't even beat her at the amateur level. Let's go straight to the expert level."
"Do you really want to win?"
"How can a real man escape from the battlefield!"
So it makes sense for him to choose to cheat.
Chu Yuexi, who had won two points in a row, took care of Yu Zhesen's face and decided to continue to let off steam, so she served a very slow ball that was easy to catch.
"You should catch this ball..."
Snap!
Before Chu Yuexi could finish her words, Yu Zhesen on the opposite side gave her a sharp kick in return.
"I have completely understood how to play this game. From now on, the warm-up is over." Yu Zhesen put the racket on his shoulders and said with a sly look.
Chu Yuexi threw the ball to him: "Eh? Really?"
"Intern, you have to show your real skills, otherwise you will really lose to me."
Yu Zhesen said and served.
Chu Yuexi's eyes widened. She felt that Yu Zhesen's movement when serving was different from before. This time the serve was at a professional level!
She did not dare to be careless and carefully returned the ball, observing her opponent while formulating tactics in her mind.
Yu Zhesen's return of the ball is very fast and powerful. Just as he said himself - he has completely understood the essence of this sport.
He can't compete with strength... His reactions in front of the net are very sensitive and he can make incredible responses... Chu Yuexi made his judgment through observation.
Her choice was to play corner kicks from left and right, relying on her rich experience to move Yu Zhesen to the backcourt.
When Yu Zhesen finally hit a low-quality return shot, she decisively seized the opportunity to counterattack.
"Your skills are not bad!" Chu Yuexi praised as she hit a smash in mid-air.
3 to 1, she won another point, but it was not easy to win this point.
Yu Zhesen stood there panting slightly, Shi Xin in his mind was as shocked as he was.
They had obviously used expert technical guidance, but they still lost to Chu Yuexi - so how strong does her technique have to be?
"It kind of brings back the feeling I had when I was playing in the badminton team's city selection competition." Chu Yuexi put the ball in front of the racket net and said, "Are the words you said before modesty? Or did you deliberately hide it and want to give me a surprise?
”
"No, I really don't know how to play badminton."
Yu Zhesen caught her serve.
The two engaged in a fast-paced battle at the net again. This time Yu Zhesen learned his lesson and did not give her a chance to pull.
"But I really want to see how powerful you are... Now that I see it, I want to win against you even more!"
The badminton ball flew back and forth on both sides of the center line. In the end, Chu Yuexi reacted a little slower and Yu Zhesen succeeded in killing the ball.
Chu Yuexi bent down slightly and supported her knees: "I originally said that I would put some water on you, but now it seems that it won't work..."
"Don't give in. If you lose, you'll get a treat."
"It's just a treat..." She was still panting, but Yu Zhisen served the ball in one go, showing no moral ethics.
Chu Yuexi fought back sharply, and the two sides began a new tug of war.
Shi Xin kept analyzing Chu Yuexi's sports data in Yu Zhesen's mind, summarizing the technical characteristics of her playing style, and updated and iterated it into the guidance system.
As a result, the fight between the two people on the court turned into a mirror-image confrontation. Chu Yuexi found that Yu Zhesen's playing style became more and more like her own, and the confrontation became more and more difficult.
Originally they were just playing to kill time. The two agreed in advance to keep it simple, so they adopted an 11-point system.
As a result, things went counterproductive, and when Chu Yuexi was 10 points higher than Yu Zhesen was 9 points, both of them were nearly exhausted.
Because their levels are evenly matched, it often takes several minutes to determine where a point belongs.
While Chu Yuexi marveled at Yu Zhesen's talent, she felt a strong desire to win in her heart.
She has completely forgotten her original intention - her plan to lose on purpose and then invite him to dinner as a matter of course has long been forgotten.
"The last point..." She looked at Yu Zhesen with eyes that seemed to be burning with blazing fire.
"I won't let you win." Yu Zhesen pointed at her and said.
"Idiot...how can you catch the ball well with this posture..." Chu Yuexi took action decisively and hit the ball to the half-court area behind Yu Zhesen.
"Shi Xin! Stop time for me!"
"Hey, hey, do you need to play so bad?" Shi Xin couldn't stand it anymore, but still faithfully carried out his orders.
In the still time, Yu Zhesen calmly found a good angle and caught Chu Yuexi's serve with a smash.
When time started to flow again, the badminton had already passed over Chu Yuexi's shoulder.
"How could it be..." She was wondering why the ball suddenly disappeared from her field of vision, but suddenly she heard the sound of the ball hitting the ground at high speed behind her.
"Now the score is tied. We shouldn't have to use the rule of winning by 2 points, right? Whoever reaches 11 points first wins." Yu Zhesen put the racket under his arm and smiled at her.
Chu Yuexi picked up the ball and threw it to him: "Whoever reaches 11 points first wins, you serve."
"You have no chance." Yu Zhesen deliberately provoked her with his words, "You didn't even see the ball clearly just now, right? You are too tired, intern, and you can't keep up."
"Stop talking nonsense." Chu Yuexi stared closely at his movements, "I know you must be cheating, but it doesn't matter, I like more challenging games!"
"I'm not lying. Don't talk nonsense without evidence."
Yu Zhesen chuckled, served forehand, and at the same time gave Shi Xin the command to stop for the second time in his mind.
That's it! Stop the time directly during the serving phase! Reject the game!
During the time pause, he threw a ball over the net and left the field in a playful manner, releasing the time freeze just before the ball was about to hit the ground on Chu Yuexi's side.
"Please treat me to a meal." He turned around and said.
The next second, Chu Yuexi's posture of throwing herself on the ground to save the ball came into his eyes. Before the badminton hit the ground, she picked it up with her racket and crossed the center line and landed on the unguarded court.
Chu Yuexi, who fell to the ground, raised herself up with her hands and showed him a proud smile: "No, the winner is me, the arrogant Mr. Time Thief."
"..." Yu Zhesen was speechless.
"I want to ask why I was able to save the ball in the first place?" Chu Yuexi tried to figure out his thoughts.
"Yes, why... when time resumes flowing, the ball has already left your sight. Your first reaction should be to find the ball."
"Because I also cheated." Chu Yuexi said confidently, "Have you forgotten? I made the ball and racket with sketches. I only need to use a little thought to know where they are."
