“So powerful…”
Xia Nuannuan turned her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Qin Tian.
Qin Tian smiled and winked at her.
“Senior, that shot was so fast, how did he do that?”
Meng Yue asked in shock.
“No, it’s nothing, just a bit too much strength, and lucky enough not to go out of bounds,”
Deng Da replied, trying to compose himself.
He said this both to Meng Yue and to himself.
However, despite his words, he was filled with surprise and unease.
Was that shot just luck?
Qin Tian hadn’t played tennis before, so how could he produce a shot like that?
Judging by that serve alone, it was no longer at an amateur level, right!
After that, Qin Tian continued to serve.
This time, he didn’t use his full strength, and Deng Da smoothly returned the ball.
Xia Nuannuan hit the ball back again, and luckily it was a net cord, earning them another point.
“Yeah!”
She cheered, looking at Qin Tian.
“Well done!”
Qin Tian gave her a thumbs-up with a hearty smile.
“Hehe…”
Xia Nuannuan’s pretty face bloomed with a bright smile, and her confidence grew.
“S-senior, this is not good, it seems like God is completely on their side,”
Meng Yue said with a gloomy face.
“Who cares about God? That’s what foreigners believe in,”
Deng Da said loudly with a dark expression.
At this moment, the senior’s surging passion and confidence were also gradually fading.
The subsequent match was completely one-sided.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan won the second game smoothly by two points.
Then, in the third game, they completely shut out their opponents.
“Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan win, congratulations, that was a wonderful match,”
Ke Hong announced the results with a smile, praising, “I really didn’t expect you to play so well so soon after learning tennis, it’s amazing.”
“It’s all thanks to my brother playing well,”
Xia Nuannuan said with a smile, looking at Qin Tian.
“You played very well too,”
Qin Tian walked to her side with a smile and gave her another pat on the head.
Xia Nuannuan’s smile became even happier.
“Xia Nuannuan!”
Meng Yue from the opposite side suddenly called out.
Xia Nuannuan looked up.
“You won today, but next time there’s a singles match, I won’t lose to you again,”
Meng Yue said with a serious expression.
“Hehe… I won’t lose either,”
Xia Nuannuan looked at her defiantly.
“That’s how it should be, we are destined rivals from now on,”
“Mm!”
“Doesn’t this sound a bit childish!”
Qin Tian muttered quietly.
“What?”
Xia Nuannuan heard him and asked with a confused look.
“Nothing, I said you’re saying it well!”
Qin Tian grinned.
Just then, he suddenly sensed something and looked over, seeing the passionate senior looking at him with resentful eyes.
“Senior, this was a wonderful match,”
Qin Tian said with a smile.
“Hmph, you detestable winner, I won’t lose next time,”
Deng Da uttered a sour, tough remark.
However, after he turned around, his spirit seemed to have collapsed by more than half, and he walked towards the sidelines with his head hanging low.
“Qin Tian, Xia Nuannuan, do you want to rest for a bit, or as challengers, continue to the next match?”
Ke Hong asked with a smile.
“Club President, let’s rest for a bit first!”
Xia Nuannuan replied with a smile after receiving a signal from Qin Tian.
“Alright, then you can rest on the side. The next two pairs will play first, and the winning team will then play against you.”
“Okay!”
…
…
This friendly practice match among the tennis club members continued until half-past five in the afternoon.
In the end, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan successfully defended their title until the end, becoming the champions.
They didn’t just win the game; they won in every other aspect as well.
Throughout the afternoon, the two of them showered the court with affection, making the surroundings seem to be filled with the sour scent of envy.
Especially when they finally won, Xia Nuannuan excitedly threw herself into Qin Tian’s arms, pressing her ample assets against his chest, standing on her tiptoes to give him a kiss. The jealous and envious single boys around them could almost grind their back teeth to dust.
After the club disbanded, the two, who had thoroughly enjoyed themselves, went to a nearby canteen to eat their fill, and then strolled hand in hand around the campus.
“Brother, Ning Ruo senior had someone cover her shift at her part-time job today, so she couldn’t make it!”
Xia Nuannuan put her phone back into her pocket and hugged Qin Tian’s arm.
“Oh?”
“Mm, she knew we won and congratulated us.”
“Winning or losing isn’t important, as long as we have fun.”
“Yes, I think so too.”
Xia Nuannuan agreed with a sweet smile and added, “But winning until the end with you, brother, makes me even happier.”
Qin Tian looked at her cute appearance and couldn’t help but raise his other hand and pinch her cheek.
“Hey, don’t pinch my face, it’ll get round,”
Xia Nuannuan pretended to be angry and lightly batted away his hand, chiding him.
“Haha… Sorry, I couldn’t help it,”
Qin Tian apologized with a smile, but there was no apology in his expression.
Xia Nuannuan rolled her eyes, but she wasn’t really blaming him. Instead, she genuinely liked these intimate gestures between couples.
Almost every university campus has a place called Lover’s Hill.
It’s usually a grassy area with beautiful scenery, where couples can sit on the ground, lean on each other, read and chat, and talk about life.
Jiang University naturally has them too, and more than one.
The most popular among them is a botanical garden located below Sakura Avenue, which offers different beautiful scenery throughout the year.
A famous host once said that with such beautiful surroundings at Jiang University, it would be a regret not to have a relationship during the four years of college.
Like many couples on campus, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan walked to this botanical garden.
In late September, as autumn was about to set in, the fallen plane tree leaves and golden ginkgo leaves seemed to pave a carpet on this Lover’s Hill, making it look magnificent.
It was evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast a more autumnal glow.
Feeling a bit tired from walking, they sat down on a bench under a ginkgo tree.
“This breeze feels so comfortable!”
Xia Nuannuan leaned on his shoulder, feeling the evening breeze with a look of contentment.
“Mm!”
Qin Tian responded, then leaned his head and dotingly kissed the hair on top of her head.
“I never thought before that my university life could be so happy, brother, it’s all thanks to you.”
Xia Nuannuan looked up at him with eyes as clear as autumn water, her gaze flowing with deep gratitude and adoration.
“I should be the one saying that,”
Qin Tian said with a slight smile.
Before the college entrance examination and during his university years in his past life, after he had woken up, most of his focus was on his studies and his future life, neglecting the beautiful people and things around him.
Take this treasure girl right in front of him, for example. Back then, he only thought that she had a good personality, so he stood up for her when classmates gossiped about her, but he didn’t have the intention to understand her personal charm.
Thinking back now, he was truly blind.
Not only him, but the boys in his class in the third year of high school were also blind.
Even before losing weight, Xia Nuannuan was already a sweet and cute type of beautiful girl, and if you included her personality, she scored even higher.
Now, of course, regardless of her appearance, figure, or inner qualities, she possessed an irresistible charm.
Their eyes met, and Xia Nuannuan felt the affection in his deep gaze. She slowly closed her beautiful eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, conveying her shyness and anticipation.
Without needing to say anything more, Qin Tian lowered his head and kissed her.
