After Differentiation, I Marked My Arch-nemesis - Chapter 77

“Boss… didn’t you say you didn’t want to participate in the sports meet before?” Chen Huaian looked at Jiang Youli, confused. “Why do you suddenly want to participate in badminton doubles now?”

Jiang Youli stared at the people on the badminton court. “I’m interested in participating now.”

Chen Huaian: “…”

He was a little clueless. “Then I’ll go find Jiang Yunxiao now?”

Jiang Youli: “Mhm.”

Chen Huaian then ran to find Jiang Yunxiao.

A little while later,

Chen Huaian found Jiang Yunxiao on the field and brought him to Jiang Youli.

“Boss, I brought Jiang Yunxiao over for you.”

Jiang Yunxiao looked at Jiang Youli, puzzled. He didn’t understand why Jiang Youli suddenly wanted him to come to the volleyball court. “Jiang Youli, what do you need me for?”

Jiang Youli was in a very bad mood. “I want to participate in badminton doubles.”

Jiang Yunxiao: “There are no more spots for badminton doubles.”

Jiang Youli: “No more spots?”

Jiang Yunxiao: “That’s right.”

Jiang Youli: “How can there be no more spots?”

“There were only two spots for badminton doubles,” Jiang Yunxiao said, pointing to the two people on the badminton court. “Lu Yaoyi and Jin Rubing have already signed up.”

Jiang Youli: “…”

She suddenly didn’t know what to say.

“Jiang Youli, although there are no more spots for badminton doubles, our class’s volleyball team is still short of two people,” Jiang Yunxiao looked at Jiang Youli and then at Chen Huaian. “How about… you and Chen Huaian participate in volleyball instead?”

Volleyball…

Jiang Youli thought for a moment and then looked up toward the badminton court.

The badminton court was next to the volleyball court.

From here, she could just about see what was happening on the badminton court. Since there were no more spots for badminton doubles, she couldn’t openly go to Lu Yaoyi under the pretense of playing badminton. So it wasn’t a bad idea for her to participate in volleyball.

She could just supervise Lu Yaoyi from here.

How could Lu Yaoyi play badminton with an Alpha from another class behind her back?

Darn it.

She then agreed to Jiang Yunxiao. “Okay, I’ll participate in volleyball.”

Jiang Yunxiao’s eyes widened, looking very surprised. “Really?”

Jiang Youli: “Mhm.”

Jiang Yunxiao looked at Chen Huaian beside him. “What about you, Chen Huaian?”

“The boss has already said yes, so of course I’m going to participate too,” Chen Huaian raised his hand and touched his neck. “You can write my name and the boss’s name on the registration form now.”

Jiang Yunxiao sighed and looked at Jiang Youli and Chen Huaian gratefully. “I was worried that I couldn’t find anyone in our class to participate in volleyball. You two have really helped me a lot. I’ll write your names on the registration form now.”

With that, he wrote Jiang Youli’s and Chen Huaian’s names in the volleyball column.

Chen Huaian looked at Jiang Yunxiao, who had put down the pen. “All done?”

Jiang Yunxiao: “All done.”

He pointed to the few people from their class who were practicing on the volleyball court and said, “The few students from our class who are participating in volleyball are over there practicing. Should I take you guys over?”

Jiang Youli wasn’t in a very good mood. “Mhm.”

Jiang Yunxiao took Jiang Youli and Chen Huaian to where the few people from their class who were participating in volleyball were practicing. After explaining the situation to them, he left.

“Jiang Youli, Chen Huaian.”

An Alpha in the class named Xu Rui suddenly called out.

Jiang Youli and Chen Huaian looked over at the sound.

Xu Rui took two volleyballs from the volleyball cart and threw them to Jiang Youli and Chen Huaian, respectively. “You two can practice serving the ball first today.”

“Okay,” Chen Huaian took the volleyball. “Boss, let’s practice together.”

Jiang Youli’s face was sullen. She looked back at the badminton court.

Then she looked away and practiced serving the ball with Chen Huaian.

“Mhm.”

Jin Rubing swung her badminton racket to hit the ball and then wiped the sweat from her face and bent down, breathing heavily. “Let’s take a break before we play again.”

She was really exhausted.

He Suixun put down his badminton racket when he heard Jin Rubing say that.

“Then let’s take a break before we play again.”

Lu Yaoyi turned around and walked to a long bench on the side to sit down. She picked up her towel and wiped the fine sweat from her face. Then she used a hair tie to casually tie her long hair up.

Jin Rubing walked over and sat down next to Lu Yaoyi. “Yaoyi, are you tired?”

Lu Yaoyi: “No.”

Jin Rubing: “I think you and A-Shu have a good coordination.”

Luo Jiashu, who was standing on the side, couldn’t help but smile when he heard that.

Lu Yaoyi didn’t say anything.

For the past two days, she and Jin Rubing had been playing together. Jin Rubing suddenly suggested today that they switch partners and play mixed doubles. She knew that Jin Rubing wanted to play badminton with He Suixun, so to accommodate Jin Rubing, she agreed to switch partners and play mixed doubles.

Anyway, she hadn’t said more than a few words to Luo Jiashu since the beginning.

“Rubing,” He Suixun suddenly said, “I’ll go to the store and buy a few bottles of water.”

Jin Rubing nodded. “Okay.”

“Let’s go,” He Suixun patted Luo Jiashu beside him. “Let’s go buy them together.”

Luo Jiashu: “Mhm.”

He Suixun then pulled Luo Jiashu away.

Jin Rubing watched He Suixun’s retreating back reluctantly.

After He Suixun disappeared,

She unconsciously looked at the lively volleyball court next door and suddenly saw two familiar figures in the crowd. She was stunned for a moment and then patted Lu Yaoyi on the shoulder.

“Yaoyi.”

Lu Yaoyi turned her head to look at Jin Rubing. “Mhm?”

Jin Rubing: “Look, are those two Jiang Youli and Chen Huaian?”

She then pointed to the two familiar figures who were practicing on the volleyball court.

Jiang Youli?

Lu Yaoyi looked in the direction Jin Rubing was pointing.

She just happened to see Jiang Youli and Chen Huaian practicing together on the volleyball court.

Jin Rubing looked at the figures of Jiang Youli and Chen Huaian, very surprised. “I can’t believe Jiang Youli and Chen Huaian are participating in volleyball. I’ve been their classmate for so many years, but I’ve never seen them participate in a sports meet before.”

Lu Yaoyi looked at Jiang Youli, who was seriously practicing.

Yeah.

She had also never seen Jiang Youli participate in a sports meet before.

This time, she was surprised.

A little while later,

He Suixun and Luo Jiashu returned from the store after buying water.

Lu Yaoyi had been looking at Jiang Youli on the volleyball court, but her vision was suddenly blocked by the person standing in front of her. She slowly looked up at the person standing in front of her.

It was Luo Jiashu.

Luo Jiashu looked very reserved and a little embarrassed.

He was holding a bottle of mineral water.

He didn’t say anything for a while.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally mustered up the courage to hold out the mineral water to Lu Yaoyi.

“Lu Yaoyi, I bought this for you to drink.”

Lu Yaoyi’s gaze fell on the mineral water in Luo Jiashu’s hand.

She didn’t like to take things from others.

But to prevent Jin Rubing from feeling awkward because of her, she very coldly took the mineral water from Luo Jiashu and then politely said, “Thank you.”

Luo Jiashu’s lips curved into a smile. “You’re welcome.”

Jiang Youli, who was on the volleyball court, just happened to see Lu Yaoyi taking the water.

“…”

A flame of anger immediately ignited in Jiang Youli’s heart.

She was even more unhappy.

Not only was Lu Yaoyi playing badminton with an Alpha from another class, but she was also taking water from another Alpha? She looked at the figures of Lu Yaoyi and Luo Jiashu in the distance and got more and more angry. She was inexplicably annoyed and unconsciously gripped the volleyball in her arms tightly.

A few seconds later,

She turned her head away angrily, deciding not to pay attention to Lu Yaoyi anymore.

Lu Yaoyi can play badminton with whoever she wants.

What Lu Yaoyi did had nothing to do with her.

She frowned and clenched her teeth.

Then she forced herself to focus on the volleyball and practice serving.

A gentle breeze blew across her face.

Jin Rubing put down the mineral water in her hand and asked, “Are you guys ready to play again?”

He Suixun: “We are.”

Luo Jiashu: “Mhm.”

Jin Rubing took Lu Yaoyi’s hand and walked toward the badminton court.

“Then let’s continue practicing.”

Time passed by, minute by minute.

Jiang Youli kept practicing serving until both of her arms were red and sore.

Since she had chosen to participate in volleyball, she had to be responsible. She was originally a little angry because Lu Yaoyi was with another Alpha, but when she got into practicing and stopped thinking about other things, the resentment and anger in her heart slowly faded away.

This was a good thing.

Jiang Youli and Chen Huaian were both seriously practicing.

Just then, a volleyball suddenly flew over and hit Jiang Youli on the head.

Jiang Youli’s head hurt, and she immediately frowned in pain.

She covered the back of her head and suddenly turned around.

She saw Class 2, Grade 1’s beautiful Omega, Pei Jingning, rushing toward her with a flustered look.

Pei Jingning ran to Jiang Youli in a panic. Her beautiful face was filled with embarrassment and worry. “Jiang Youli… are… are you okay?”

Jiang Youli looked at Pei Jingning. “Did you hit me?”

“Yes…” Pei Jingning looked very helpless. “Are you okay?”

Cen Ziqin, who had witnessed the whole thing from the side, suddenly laughed and cheered.

“Pei Jingning.”

“How did you manage to hit A-You with your serve?” Cen Ziqin’s voice had a hint of teasing. “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

Pei Jingning’s cheeks turned red, and she became even more embarrassed when she heard that.

She really didn’t do it on purpose…

She looked at Jiang Youli, who was holding the back of her head, and apologized repeatedly. “Jiang Youli, I didn’t mean to. My serve just now wasn’t good, and the ball flew over and hit your head. It’s all my fault for not serving well. I’m so sorry…”

The ball looked like it had hit her pretty hard.

She was afraid that Jiang Youli would get angry, and she was even more afraid that she had damaged Jiang Youli’s head.

Although Jiang Youli was not in a good mood, she wouldn’t lose her temper at an irrelevant person. Besides, getting hit by a ball wasn’t a big deal.

It hurt, but so what.

She put on a nonchalant expression and said calmly, “I’m fine.”

Pei Jingning was not at ease and reached out her hands to cup Jiang Youli’s head.

“Let me take a look.”

Lu Yaoyi, who was on the other badminton court, had just finished playing a ball and saw the whole scene on the volleyball court. She looked at Jiang Youli on the volleyball court, a little dazed.

And… Pei Jingning, who was cupping Jiang Youli’s head.

From a distance, the two of them looked very intimate.

“…”

Lu Yaoyi slightly frowned.

Since when did Jiang Youli get so close to Pei Jingning from Class 2?

And…

How could Jiang Youli let another Omega…

She just watched Jiang Youli, and her heart suddenly felt like it was blocked by a heavy boulder that she couldn’t move. A sour and bitter feeling instantly spread through her internal organs.

“Yaoyi.”

Jin Rubing suddenly called out, “What are you dazed about?”

Lu Yaoyi’s mood was low. She looked away, and her expression became even colder. “Nothing.”

Jin Rubing: “Then let’s practice for a little longer.”

Jiang Youli was caught off guard when Pei Jingning reached out and pushed her head down.

Pei Jingning cupped Jiang Youli’s head and tiptoed slightly to check the back of Jiang Youli’s head. Then she gently touched the spot where Jiang Youli was hit and asked softly.

“Does it hurt a lot?”

Jiang Youli came to her senses and quickly took a big step back.

The two of them immediately created distance between themselves.

Jiang Youli looked at Pei Jingning, a little surprised. Not only was Pei Jingning not afraid of her, but she also dared to touch her head? She saw that Pei Jingning had no other intentions and just answered calmly.

“I’m fine. You don’t have to apologize to me.”

Pei Jingning wanted to confirm again. “Are you really okay?”

Jiang Youli nodded. “I’m really fine.”

“If you have a headache or the spot gets swollen,” Pei Jingning said with a serious and sincere expression, “you must tell me, and I’ll take responsibility.”
