Miss Si's feigned innocence went too far, and the aloof Mr. Bo was easily swayed.

Qiao Yi naturally took on the role of referee.

A competition naturally needs prizes.

Si Yingying's goal was obvious: she wanted Bo Yusen.

So, without waiting for a moment, he asked, "I've heard that Huanyu Group is a top international technology company. If we win, Ninth Master, could you take us to see where you work every day?"

Si Yingying knew that it would be extremely difficult for her to get Bo Yusen immediately.

Therefore, she needs to infiltrate from the outside little by little, first making everyone believe that Bo Yusen treats her differently from other women.

Then let the rumors spread, and solidify her position as the queen.

There are two kinds of smart people.

One approach is to conceal one's intentions from everyone, hiding them as deeply as possible.

Another option is to openly and honestly reveal one's ambitions and desires.

And foolish people—

He tries his best to hide his ambition, but it's all written on his face.

Si Yingying belongs to the latter category.

Everyone present was incredibly astute; how could they not see through her intentions?

Xiang Mingche's face was quite ugly, and the veins on his hand gripping the racket were bulging.

After taking in this scene, Si Yuan looked at Bo Yusen.

Bo Yusen glanced at her, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Then we'll see what you're capable of."

Qiao Yi was a very competent referee. "What if Mingche and Yingying lose?"

Si Yingying looked at Bo Yusen shyly, "Then I'll let Ninth Master decide what to do with me... As for Brother Mingche and Sister Mingche, let the young couple decide for themselves."

The young couple...

Oh--

Bo Yusen gave Si Yuan a deep look, and Si Yuan's heart trembled slightly under his gaze. She quickly extended her hand in a conciliatory gesture, "Ninth Master, we can win."

It's normal for teammates to high-five each other before the game starts.

Si Yuan doesn't need to worry; Xiang Mingche will become suspicious.

Besides, Xiang Mingche's mind is entirely on Si Yingying right now, and he can't pay any attention to this side at all.

Bo Yusen looked at Si Yuan's small, beautiful hand and reached out...

But instead of giving a high five, he grabbed Si Yuan's hand.

Si Yuan's hands were cold, but Bo Yusen's hands were warm. The moment they touched, the warmth of Bo Yusen's palms was transferred to Si Yuan's hands.

Si Yuan felt her hands suddenly get warm, and her whole body followed suit.

The two hands did not hold each other for long before they separated.

On Si Yingying's side, Xiang Mingche also held her hand.

Meeting Xiang Mingche's gloomy gaze, Si Yingying raised an eyebrow at him. "Brother Mingche, you'll help me win this game, right?"

Xiang Mingche gave a forced smile, "Of course."

The competition has officially begun.

Xiang Mingche serves first.

The two people opposite.

One is Si Yuan, the person Xiang Mingche loves.

One is Bo Yusen, someone Xiang Mingche can't afford to offend.

So Xiang Mingche served very gently, and Si Yuan received the ball.

As she ran, the hem of her dress fluttered gently, like a nimble little deer. Mingche looked at her with mixed feelings.

When she swung the ball, a section of her fair and slender waist was revealed, attracting the attention of everyone who saw it.

Bo Yusen's dark eyes darkened.

Si Yingying caught the ball that Si Yuan had hit to her and smiled at Bo Yusen, "Ninth Master, here I come, make sure you catch it!"

Her words were extremely ambiguous, and everyone present wasn't stupid; how could they not understand the implied meaning?

However, Bo Yusen ignored Si Yingying's flirting and, after the ball crossed the net, exerted lightning-fast force with his wrist.

The racket made a soft whistling sound as it brushed past the shuttlecock's base, and the white shuttlecock shot straight across the diagonal like an arrow, landing with such precision that it almost touched the line.

Even Xiang Mingche, who has won many badminton medals, couldn't catch it.

Qiao Yi: "1:0".

Si Yingying glared angrily at Mingche, "Brother Mingche, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Xiang Mingche's mind wasn't on playing badminton; he thought he was just there to have some fun. He didn't expect Bo Yusen to be so strong.

"Ninth Master, you're amazing..."

Si Yuan smiled and extended her hand to Bo Yusen, and the two gave each other a high five.

Xiang Mingche frowned; he was getting serious.

However, whether he takes it seriously or not does not affect Bo Yusen at all.

Once the ball reaches Bo Yusen's hands, the game is basically over.

In the first match, the Yuansen duo quickly won the game.

Si Yingying gritted her teeth as she watched Si Yuan and Bo Yusen high-five, especially seeing the smile on Si Yuan's face, she felt extremely depressed.

She glared angrily at Xiang Mingche. It was all Xiang Mingche's fault. If he hadn't insisted on swapping teammates, she and Bo Yusen would have been the ones to secure the first victory.

It won't be as simple as a high-five then; she might even get to hug Bo Yusen.

The game is played in a best-of-three format.

If they lose one more game, they'll be completely defeated.

Intermission.

Xiang Mingche left the venue under the pretext of needing to use the restroom.

Soon, Si Yingying received a WeChat message from him: "Come out."

Si Yingying happened to have something to say to him, and glanced at Bo Yusen who was on the phone, while Si Yuan was drinking water.

Realizing that the two of them couldn't do anything, they went to find Xiang Mingche.

Si Yuan smiled as she watched the two leave.

Qiao Yi looked like he wanted to talk to Bo Yusen, but Bo Yusen was on the phone and he was waiting anxiously.

He then walked over to Qiao Yi.

"Qiao Yi..."

"Ah Yuan... are you tired?"

"Fortunately... I didn't exert much effort; I was completely carried by Ninth Master."

Qiao Yi looked at him with admiration, "Yes, Ninth Master is amazing at playing basketball."

Si Yuan smiled slightly, "Ninth Master likes Da Hong Pao tea that has been rinsed twice, and the water temperature is best kept between 40 and 45 degrees Celsius."

Qiao Yi was a smart man and immediately understood. "Thank you, A Yuan..."

He immediately went to prepare.

As soon as Si Yuan turned around after the person left, she met Bo Yusen's gloomy black eyes.

Si Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and she ran towards him with a smile, "I was afraid you were thirsty, so I asked Qiao Yi to make you some Da Hong Pao tea."

"I don't like to drink tea when I exercise."

Si Yuan: "..."

How is that possible?

Could it be that her information was wrong?

Seeing Bo Yusen walk to the rest area and sit down, Si Yuan followed him. "Then... shall I get you a glass of water?"

"I don't like drinking water from outside."

Si Yuan pouted. "Forget it, you don't like drinking the water at home either."

"Ninth Master... You'll sweat during the sports meet, so you need to stay hydrated."

Bo Yusen glanced at her indifferently, "Really? I thought you were worried that I looked old and that if we went out together, people would say you were my daughter."

Si Yuan: "..."

This guy holds a grudge.

"cough……"

Bo Yusen coughed lightly, his throat seeming a little uncomfortable.

Si Yuan looked at him, then at her own cup. "How about... you drink my water?"

Si Yuan knew that Bo Yusen was a germaphobe.

She was just asking politely.

"Can."

Unexpectedly, Bo Yusen actually wanted to drink it.

She unscrewed the lid and handed the thermos to Bo Yusen.

Si Yuan's cup is a pink little dog cup, the kind that's extremely cute.

Bo Yusen's temperament is completely out of place with this thermos, yet it's inexplicably adorable.

He tilted his head back to drink water, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down with each swallow, making even the mole on it appear unusually vivid.

After finishing his water, he casually wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, the water droplets on his fingertips glistening. He just stared at her, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

For a fleeting moment, Si Yuan had a feeling that things were not real.

Bo Yusen is seducing her—
