Chapter 18 We Will Win

With plenty of time still remaining before the crisis-forecasted incident, Ang Lee took advantage of the lull to return to his dormitory to drop off his backpack and deliveries.

Because it was dinner time, there were only two people in the dormitory.

Wu Long was already playing a game of "Double-Up" with a bucket of instant noodles on the table.

Jiang Jiahao, on the other hand, would sit on the bed with his legs crossed, playing King of Glory and carrying girls. He liked to play Ma Chao, Li Bai, and Jing, and he spoke with a bubbly voice. He would often come up with different ways to carry girls.

Ang Lee's relationship with them was so-so; he just glanced at them before walking to his bed and starting to unpack the packages.

The first thing he unpacked was the shoes. The packaging was exquisite, the shoes were all black and looked great. They were very light in his hand, and the texture was soft and elastic, justifying the price of 589.

"Li Ning running shoes...it seems he really intends to work out."

Jiang Jiahao, who was playing a game, secretly watched his actions.

Because of Li An's gaze and smile after returning to the dormitory last night, alarm bells had already rung in his heart. A sense of crisis lingered in his mind, and he was constantly worried that Li An would confront him face to face.

After admiring the shoes for a while, Ang Lee started unpacking other packages.

"dumbbel?"

Jiang Jiahao, who was always watching him, felt a tremor in his heart when he saw what Jiang Jiahao had opened.

Fitness equipment is actually very common. When he was in high school, there were sports students who exercised in their dormitories every day.

Even if they are not athletes, it is very normal for teenage boys to buy arm exercisers, hand grippers, dumbbells, and ab rollers.

It's normal, but the fact that this thing appeared in Ang Lee's hands made him pay attention.

"Holy crap, is he planning to build up his body and then beat me up?"

Thinking about the grudges between the two, Jiang Jiahao felt as if a major earthquake had struck his heart.

Meanwhile, Ang Lee was inspecting the goods while holding dumbbells.

This thing is quite heavy. According to online sources, each dumbbell weighs 10KG, and the weight can be disassembled and adjusted.

"Da da da".

Just then, the sound of rain hitting the security bars came from the balcony.

Seeing the downpour arrive as expected, Ang Lee couldn't help but smile slightly.

While it's absurd that athletic geniuses can dramatically enhance their athletic abilities... when it comes down to it, Prince Charming is still the ultimate supermodel. He's practically at the level of a superpower, able to glimpse future events.

"Holy crap, what is he laughing at?"

Seeing Li An holding the dumbbells with a strange smile on his face, as if he had thought of something happy, Jiang Jiahao, who was already worried and fearful, immediately became uneasy, feeling that Li An was up to no good.

Ang Lee had no idea about Jiang Jiahao's inner thoughts, nor did he care to guess.

Because there was still a tough battle to be fought later, Ang Lee picked up his phone to check the time, opened his suitcase, took out two loaves of bread and some milk, and started to fill his stomach.

……

"Has it started raining again?"

In the girls' dormitory, Lin Shiyu, who had just finished dinner, sat on the top bunk and looked in the direction of the sound of rain coming from the balcony.

The weather has been terrible lately; it has been raining heavily for six days in a row.

Fortunately, the weather forecast says it will clear up starting tomorrow.

"Shiyu, when is the match? Where is it being held?"

A curvaceous, beautiful blonde woman with diamond-studded nail polish was playing on her phone. Hearing her voice and noticing the weather outside, she asked curiously.

"The stadium, Saturday at 2 pm, which is the day after tomorrow."

Lin Shiyu was checking the team uniforms on the bed. There were nine sets in total, which were uniforms for the official team members and the substitute members.

"OK, I'll come and cheer you on then."

After confirming the exact time again, the blonde bombshell gave her a hand gesture.

"Which university are you playing against this time?"

Another woman, wearing glasses and exuding an intellectual air, was writing her thesis in bed when she heard this and joined the conversation.

"Lu Da, the coach has been trying to schedule a practice match for over half a year, and we've finally managed to do it."

When the topic of the competition came up, Lin Shiyu immediately perked up.

"If I remember correctly, Shandong University's women's volleyball team is quite strong, isn't it?"

Seeing her smile through her usually icy expression, looking incredibly cute, the girl with glasses adjusted her glasses and continued the conversation.

"Not just strong, they're incredibly strong! Shandong University was the runner-up in last year's National College Women's Volleyball League."

Speaking of her opponent this time, Lin Shiyu felt extremely excited.

Although the coach often arranges practice matches with nearby universities, the opponents are too weak, and she can't even give it her all.

But Lu Da is different; it's a well-known powerhouse in women's volleyball, and they were the formidable opponent who eliminated them last year.

Will we win?

Seeing her high spirits, the blonde bombshell's big eyes darted around, and she suddenly asked a question.

"We will win!"

Lin Shiyu responded to her without hesitation, her expression serious.

Hahahaha.

Seeing that she declared victory without hesitation, clearly not understanding the "laborious" part of the story, the blonde bombshell was overjoyed.

"What are you laughing at? Although we lost to Shandong University in the semifinals last year, we've become much stronger this year and we definitely have a chance!"

Lin Shiyu didn't understand why she was laughing, taking it as mockery and contempt, and her fist hardened on the spot.

"Shiyu, don't be angry. She didn't think Jiang Da couldn't win. She was just making a joke, and you unintentionally played along, which is why she was laughing like an idiot."

The bespectacled woman, who was working on her thesis, quickly tried to explain and smooth things over when she saw that the other woman was unconvinced.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Playing with memes? What memes?"

……

Enjoyable chatting can make people lose track of time without realizing it. It wasn't until her teammate called to ask why she hadn't arrived yet that Lin Shiyu snapped out of her daze, hurriedly grabbed her umbrella, and ran out of the dormitory.

"Oh no, oh no!"

The torrential rain was as dense as a beaded curtain, but Lin Shiyu still rushed in with her umbrella, undeterred by the wind and rain.

Normally, as the team captain, she would arrive at the gymnasium as soon as possible after dinner to change clothes and warm up, waiting for the team members to arrive.

That's how it should be, but today she lost track of time because she was chatting with her roommate.

Being late is not a good habit. As the team leader, she should act like one. She must set an example.

Moreover, the match is in two days, and at such a crucial moment, we can't afford to falter.

"Splash!"

A strong wind was blowing, and the night air was very cold.

The rain was torrential, splashing and hitting the ground and umbrellas.

However, Lin Shiyu's body and heart were burning with desire, yearning for a battle of revenge!

Just as she was rushing through the rainy night, a sudden change occurred.

Lin Shiyu, who was running with her long legs, suddenly slipped and lost her balance, falling forward violently.

"It's over!"

As the ground drew closer, Lin Shiyu's rapidly beating heart skipped a beat.

In just a split second, she realized the terrible consequences.

She is the main attacker for Jiangda Women's Volleyball Team. As the ace player, she is also the only player without a substitute.

If she gets injured here, the friendly match the day after tomorrow will be over.

With this in mind, she almost instinctively dropped the umbrella and tried to brace herself with her hands on the ground to avoid any possibility of injury.

"Snapped!"

Just as her hands were about to hit the ground, Lin Shiyu suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen, and her downward movement abruptly stopped.

"We're saved..."

Lin Shiyu felt like someone who had fallen off a cliff, but had managed to hang on a crooked tree, thus avoiding a crash to the ground. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But she didn't fall off the cliff, and there weren't any crooked trees here, so why didn't she fall?

With this question in mind, Lin Shiyu looked up and saw a man standing beside her in the dim rain, his strong arms encircling her waist.

His hair and clothes were completely soaked, and water streamed down his young and handsome face, as if he had been drenched in the rain for a very long time without an umbrella.
