Love is as simple as badminton.

Chapter 25 is a bunch of pigeon gates!

Yutenji Wakamaru: "Lin Xiang's Training Plan (Week 1).pdf"

Yutenji Wakamaru: "Alright, my good disciple, I have already imparted the secret technique to you. Tomorrow you will begin your formal training according to this!"

"..."

Lin Xiang looked at the nickname, his lips twitched twice, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

You're going to play badminton for the rest of your life, right?

At his age, choosing such a username? Isn't he afraid of getting into trouble? Plus, he just insisted on making me perform a prostration ceremony; he's probably watched too many TV dramas...

Lin Xiang felt he might need to reconsider the necessity of becoming this apprentice.

But after opening the class schedule, Lin Xiang raised his eyebrows.

Even a cursory glance reveals its impressive structure, with all the content arranged very logically. It even includes optional content, where you can practice A if you meet a certain requirement the day before, and B if you don't.

There are even a lot of annotations marked with comments, such as what should be paid attention to in a certain training, and to what extent the points should be paid attention, which are quite incisive.

Although my master is not a very serious person, his badminton skills are still excellent.

However, this schedule requires students to go to bed at 10:15 pm and wake up at 5:15 am, with a technical training session also scheduled between 5:30 pm and 6:30 pm.

In other words, before he can guide his senior, he will have to practice diligently from dawn till dusk.

Furthermore, he even offered suggestions on what to eat each day, which window to go to for food, and how long one could play on their phone before bed. The old man even added a heart-shaped sticker, perhaps thinking it would show how caring he was as a mentor.

In addition to regular classes, the schedule is basically packed, and the intensity is indeed greater than that of the senior year of high school.

I need to get back to the dorm right away... Lin Xiang glanced at his watch; it was already 9:30 p.m.

At this moment, the school team members on the court also entered the final stretching rhythm. Lin Xiang put on his jacket and jogged away from the stadium.

However, as soon as he left, he noticed a pretty and familiar figure.

She wasn't wearing a ponytail at that moment; the strands of hair on her shoulders swayed in the evening breeze.

"Senior, haven't you gone back yet?"

"Haha, didn't Coach Lin assign me to jog today to train my physical fitness? I just finished jogging not long ago."

"Oh, I thought you would put it in the afternoon."

"Hey!"

Shi Yuqi handed over a glass of ice-cold drink, "Ye-ge bought this, this one is for you!"

"Thank you, senior..."

Lin Xiang examined the liquid under the lid of the cup, frowning slightly. "Senior, you should try to drink less milk tea. It's high in calories and not healthy."

"This is sugar-free."

"The same goes for sugar-free; it's better to drink less of it."

"Alright! I'll do as Coach Lin says."

Seeing his serious expression, Shi Yuqi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, raising her hands in a gesture of surrender, "Then I'll only drink half a glass tonight, and I'll drink the other half tomorrow morning, which will be good for building up my energy for training. Is that alright?"

"Um."

Lin Xiang nodded in approval this time.

"There's no need to be so strict. You can have three-quarters of a glass tonight."

"Pfft... I wonder who's really being strict!"

As we were chatting, we reached a fork in the road.

Although they were both students at the School of Social Sciences, one lived in Jinghua Garden and the other in Yuehua Garden, almost separated by the entire Xiangda University.

"Classes have started. How's it going? Still busy?"

"It's alright, there's a lot of homework, but I can manage it."

The two stopped and started chatting at the same time.

"Isn't the senior student even busier?"

Lin Xiang asked back, holding a milk tea in his hand, but his mind was not on the topic of conversation.

He used to go straight back, but since when did it seem natural for him to stop and chat with his senior for a bit?

Zhao Hao didn't teach him why.

It's probably because they're good friends.

"That's true! I'm incredibly busy. But getting up early every day to practice with you makes me feel less busy. Yeah, it's a fulfilling and reassuring feeling! Even though there are so many things to do and everything is chaotic, at least I have a sense of direction."

Shi Yuqi flicked a strand of hair and smiled sideways.

"I'm heading back now! Get some rest, junior, and keep up the good work tomorrow!"

"Okay, goodbye, senior."

Watching the girl's figure gradually disappear into the evening breeze, Lin Xiang realized that he had been standing there for almost a minute. He quickly gathered his thoughts and walked into the night ahead.

·

The president's office in the administration building of Xiangda University.

"You old codger, you keep saying you're going to retire, and I used to feel sorry for you."

Looking at the "uninvited guest" on the sofa, Principal Chen Bing, with graying temples, grinned, put down the teapot in his hand, and handed over a fresh cup of tea.

"Even in his twilight years, a hero's spirit remains undiminished. I knew you wouldn't give up so easily! Come, let's drink this cup of tea instead of wine!"

"Sigh, I still have to use a substitute for alcohol. It would be better if it were real alcohol."

"Don't you have any self-awareness about your own body? Fruit beer is enough to make you suffer."

Chen Bing and Wang Tianmao exchanged insults while finishing their tea.

"But then again, getting your star pupils into the school team is no problem, but I can't control the competitions, and as for getting them into the national badminton team, that's beyond my reach. Writing a recommendation letter and asking the higher-ups to pull some strings is the best I can do!"

Chen Bing thought that his old friend had called him for a long chat late at night because he wanted to ask him for a favor.

This Lin Xiang is something else, actually, to have Old Wang paying so much attention to him?

Unexpectedly, Wang Tianmao shook his head, his eyes seemingly showing a hint of disdain, or rather... well, it was hard to see clearly with his eyes narrowed, but he was definitely arrogant.

"I'm not here to ask you for a favor."

"That is?"

"I just came here to show off and gloat."

"?"

Watching Wang Tianmao swagger away, not forgetting to grab a bottle of Coke before leaving, Chen Bing chuckled in exasperation. A moment later, he nodded with satisfaction and dialed a number.

"Hey? Huiqing? I have great news for you, Lao Wang is getting better. It's true! I haven't seen him this energetic in a long time!"

"No need to thank me, we're old classmates."

"Because it wasn't me who did it in the first place, haha. Yeah, it seems to be a kid named Lin Xiang! Looks like he already mentioned it to you..."

·

For many dormitories, 10 p.m. means the nightlife is just beginning.

But for Lin Xiang, it was time to prepare for sleep.

Therefore, Zhao Hao deliberately turned off the lights at nine o'clock. At this moment, except for Lin Xiang, the other three tables all had their own table lamps on.

"By the way, our group's division of labor..."

Lin Xiang suddenly remembered this and got up again shortly after lying down.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao smiled and waved his hand at him: "Don't worry, the assignment isn't too difficult, it's already been divided. You're responsible for summarizing the main idea of ​​the second paper and then outlining the research methods."

Jin Xin nodded and added, "Don't make it into overly complicated entries. Use essay-style paragraphs to clearly explain the meaning. Xu Yue likes that."

"That's right, leave the rest to me."

Xu Yue imitated a certain tough player, clenching his fist, "Kids, you can always believe in the legendary Pre-King."

"Remember not to drink alcohol the day before the report, or it'll be funny if you can't get up then."

"How about we suspend Teacher Xu's alcohol for now and give it back to him during the reporting week?"

"I agree."

"No? The report is in week 16? I'll suffocate!"

The once quiet dormitory was filled with laughter and cheerful voices again.

Lin Xiang smiled when he saw this.

He knew that the assignment was actually quite difficult, but his roommates had deliberately left the easiest part to him.

"Thank you, then I'll have to trouble everyone."

"Don't mention it, we're both just idiots!"
