The scenery by the lake is picturesque, but Xu Chen couldn't concentrate on reading no matter how hard he tried. In such a pleasant environment, during the season of the gentle spring breeze, at the age when youth is budding, Xu Chen is no saint. How can he calm down and focus on studying!
As a poor freshman, he can still indulge in artistic self-expression. At the very least, enjoying the beautiful scenery doesn't cost anything. Xu Chen walks aimlessly on the tree-lined path. As he walks, he hears the sound of "bang, bang!" in the distance. On the lawn beside the path, there is a tennis training court surrounded by wire mesh.
Xu Chen isn't sure how, but he is drawn to the sound. He approaches the court. On the court, he sees the back of a figure wearing a white dress and a short skirt, immediately captivating his attention. Her slender and solid jade legs are enclosed by a pure white skirt, emphasizing her curvaceous behind. Sometimes, her waist is partially revealed during her movements, only to be covered by a long black hair when she stands straight.
Although Xu Chen knows nothing about sports, he can feel that the girl's movements on the court are extremely coordinated. Every posture is harmonious and rhythmic, exuding a youthful and vibrant aura that can be felt even meters away.
The girl is tall, wearing flat tennis shoes. Xu Chen feels that she is much taller than him. Her steps are light and agile, her swings are free and forceful. Every time the small tennis ball bounces off with a "bang, bang!", it feels like it strikes directly in Xu Chen's heart!
Unbeknownst to him, Xu Chen's heart starts to pound in sync with the rhythm. Although she is facing away from Xu Chen, he already knows who she is. Even though today's encounter at the tennis court was coincidental, it's not the first time Xu Chen has walked here. Could it be that subconsciously he came here to see her?
She is the goddess secretly admired in Xu Chen's heart, the universally recognized school flower of this university, Qingyin, a sophomore majoring in literature. She is also the star player of the school's women's tennis team, and it is said that she has won medals in the city as well.
Alright, Xu Chen has to admit that this is not the first time he has watched her train. Maybe this is the reason why he can't focus on reading by the lake – the tennis court is just too close!
Xu Chen had also considered joining the tennis club to get closer to her, but due to his poor ball sense and physical fitness, he wasn't able to get accepted. The result once again made Xu Chen realize the gap between himself and the goddess. Not to mention family background and other factors, just in terms of playing tennis, he couldn't stand on the same level as her at all.
Perhaps because Xu Chen is not tall and has never been good at sports since childhood, he has always envied those tall, beautiful girls who excel in sports. And as for Qingyin, her academic performance is also outstanding. It goes without saying that she is beautiful. Xu Chen has always believed that his sister Qingyin is the most beautiful girl in Shanghai, although this hasn't been officially verified.
Qingyin also comes from an impressive family background. Her mother is a musician, and her father is a renowned tycoon in Shanghai. She is chauffeured to and from school in a black Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Xu Chen suddenly realizes how lucky he is to be able to appreciate such a goddess up close without any disturbance. If he hadn't come to this university and frequently read books nearby, how could he have had this opportunity?
When Qingyin bends down to pick up balls or makes large swing movements, occasionally her white underwear beneath her skirt is reluctantly exposed. At these moments, Xu Chen closes his eyes. He cannot allow himself to engage in such sinful behavior of spying on the goddess from behind!
It would be too unfair to Qingyin!
"Hey!" A hand taps Xu Chen's shoulder from behind.
"Ah! Who is it!?" Xu Chen shivers.
"What are you doing, Xu Chen?" It's Sheng Xiaochong, Xu Chen's classmate from junior high and high school. He can be considered Xu Chen's best and only friend. Sheng Xiaochong, also known as Xiaochong, is even shorter than Xu Chen, measuring 1.68 meters tall. He has poor grades and comes from a poor family. He also enjoys gaming and anime. In short, they are best friends.
"Oh? Just passing by to take a look." Xu Chen shrugged.
Shen Xiaochong nodded while looking inside through the wire fence, "Oh, I see now!"
"What do you mean, 'oh, I see'?"
"Ha, stop pretending! You're looking at her!" Xiao Chong pointed with his chin at Qingyin, the long-haired girl dressed in a white tennis outfit.
"I already said, I'm just casually looking, I don't really understand tennis!"
"Tennis? I think you're more interested in the 'big balls' on her chest!" Xiao Chong said.
Indeed, when Qingyin turned to the side, you could see her chest size was enough to surpass most college girls. Plus, they were so round and perky, she was the epitome of femininity!
"No, no way!" Xu Chen blushed, but he had to admit, her chest was also one of Xu Chen's favorite physical attributes...
"Listen, buddy, give up. Who are we? Renters! She supposedly lives on the top floor of the most luxurious apartment building on the Bund. She has a full-sized tennis court on her rooftop, can play tennis while enjoying the view of the Huangpu River. Xu Chen, two different worlds!" Xiao Chong patted Xu Chen's shoulder and sighed.
"I know, why are you telling me all this, I don't have..."
"And, she has a boyfriend!"
"Huh?" Xu Chen indeed didn't have any unrealistic fantasies about Qingyin, but upon hearing this news, he felt a strange sense of heartache.
"You don't know? He's the rich heir of the booming real estate and mining tycoon in recent years, Jiang Tiandong! It's widely known throughout the school! That guy, I saw him driving a Bentley sports car to school yesterday, and it seemed like he had several other supercars, changing them every day. He's also tall, 1.89 meters, and muscular. He's the starting power forward for the school's basketball team. Although 1.89 meters may not be considered very tall for the basketball team, he can still start! He and Qingyin, they come from similar backgrounds and are a perfect match. Born for each other! You shouldn't think too much about it, the gap between you is too big. Come back with us and play a few rounds of games! Wu Guanghao left, so we have a spot open..."
"I'm not interested! I still have to review!" Xu Chen pushed Xiao Chong away and left angrily.
"Sigh, he's really angry..."
Just as Xu Chen turned to leave, he suddenly felt something hit his back.
He turned around and saw a light green tennis ball lying on the grass.
"Classmate... could you help me pick it up?" Qingyin, with her elegant long hair and holding a tennis racket, asked Xu Chen through the wire fence.
