Chapter 164: Chapter 123 Successfully Scheming Shu Ran (Please Subscribe for the Big Chapter)_3

At this moment, a very strong thought suddenly appeared deep in her heart: She must not win this game!

But she also knew that if she deliberately lost to Zhang Jingdong, he would likely see through it.

Then he would definitely misunderstand her intentions again, and might even think she liked him.

Thinking of this, Shu Ran suddenly became rarely confused, something she had never experienced on the court before.

At this time, Zhang Jingdong suddenly said, "Teacher Shu, although it’s your match point, you don’t have to ponder for so long, just thinking about beating me, huh!"

Shu Ran snapped back to reality, and seeing his relaxed and confident expression, she felt a bit more at ease.

This guy should be fine, right?

Shu Ran lightly bit her lip and then said, "If you lose this point, then your bragging will be completely burst, so you better grasp it well!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingdong couldn’t help but smirk and said, "Teacher Shu, are you reluctant for me to lose the match, fearing that you won’t be able to play badminton with me in the future?"

"Don’t worry, in order to continue playing badminton with you, I’ll fight hard for these points too!"

Shu Ran replied indignantly, "What are you talking about! I’ll show you how I’ll teach you a lesson!"

Saying this, she got ready neatly and then served a high clear to the backcourt.

Actually, her best serving strategy was the flat high serve, because the trajectory of the flat high serve is lower, forcing the opponent to retreat to the backcourt to receive the ball.

Moreover, due to the fast speed of the shuttlecock, the opponent wouldn’t have ample time to think of countermeasures, hence the quality of their return would be impacted, allowing her to launch a sudden strong attack on the third stroke.

Previously in competitions, Shu Ran’s tactic at critical moments had a scoring rate of over 80%.

Just now, seeing the mischievous smile on Zhang Jingdong’s face, she had intended to use that strategy, but somehow, at the moment of the serve, her hand seemed to act on its own and sent a high clear.

Zhang Jingdong easily received the shuttlecock and returned it with quality, hooking diagonally at Shu Ran.

Shu Ran quickly moved to receive the shuttlecock sideways; although she managed to get it over the net, the height was really poor.

Then Zhang Jingdong rushed up to the net for a powerful smash, scoring directly!

This brought the score to 20:20.

At this moment, although Shu Ran’s face looked serious, her heart secretly sighed in relief.

Zhang Jingdong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief; truth be told, he had nearly used all his strength for that smash to score.

Now the score was finally even.

In the following two points, because he was no longer nervous, Zhang Jingdong played to his full potential, while Shu Ran appeared "naturally discouraged because she was caught up to," as if she had lost confidence.

Thus, without any suspense, Zhang Jingdong scored two consecutive points and won the match.

On the last point, when he saw Shu Ran’s return fail to cross the net, Zhang Jingdong jumped up three times in excitement, as if he had just won an Olympic championship.

Shu Ran was initially a bit surprised at the scene.

But then, thinking that perhaps he was celebrating the chance to continue playing badminton with her, and given that she had just assisted in his victory at her own expense and for the first time played a "fixed match" on the court, a blush of embarrassment instantly spread across her beautiful face.

Seeing Zhang Jingdong approaching her, Shu Ran even felt a little daunted to face him.

Zhang Jingdong then sighed and said: "Teacher Shu, although today you really performed beyond your usual, the match was incredibly tense, but in the end, I still won!"

Hearing these words, Shu Ran immediately suppressed her inner embarrassment and met Zhang Jingdong’s gaze: "Even though you won, I will keep trying, and you won’t necessarily always win!"

"And since you won yesterday as well, do you have to brag to me every time you win?"

Zhang Jingdong pursed his lips: "I’m not here to brag, but to tell you that since I won, you should be willing to honor the bet, right?"

Shu Ran suddenly realized and then her pretty face turned even redder.

"...Alright, go ahead, state your demand."

For some reason, aside from embarrassment, Shu Ran’s heart felt a bit nervous at this moment because she suddenly sensed that Zhang Jingdong’s demand would definitely be a bit devious.

Then, Zhang Jingdong said earnestly, "My request is actually quite simple: tomorrow when you play badminton with me, you need to wear a black athletic dress."

"What... what?" Shu Ran’s face turned from embarrassment to coyness: "Zhang Jingdong, do you... do you realize what you’re asking?"

In her view, only a boyfriend could make such a request.

Zhang Jingdong feigned helplessness and spread his hands: "Teacher Shu, my request doesn’t seem excessive, right?"

"I remember when I was still in school, our teachers often specified what we should wear, like a white shirt or a uniform or something, this... now the tables are turned, seems quite fair, right?"

Hearing this, Shu Ran suddenly felt that she might have misunderstood Zhang Jingdong; perhaps he just thought of her as a teacher and wanted to satisfy his student impulse for a prank that he had never managed to carry out.

Seeing that Shu Ran still didn’t agree, Zhang Jingdong had no choice but to bring out his heavy weapon: "And the most crucial point, Teacher Shu, you just said you would accept a bet. You’re not... a sore loser, are you?"

Hearing this, Shu Ran instantly accepted.

She breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, if you put it that way, then... alright then."

Perhaps to further convince herself or to avoid any misunderstanding by Zhang Jingdong, Shu Ran added: "...Your demand is actually quite normal, it’s just you, as a student, wanting to play a prank on me, the teacher."

"Fine, since I’ve lost the match to you today, I accept the wager!"

Seeing that she fell for it, Zhang Jingdong quickly said, "That’s right, I knew you’d be up for it!"

"By the way, Teacher Shu, you know what style of athletic dress I’m talking about, right? If you don’t have one, shall I accompany you to Galaxy Shopping Mall to buy it?"

Shu Ran replied in a fluster: "No... no need, I know... I’ll buy it myself!"

"Alright then, since that’s settled, I’ll be leaving... Teacher Shu, see you tomorrow!"

Zhang Jingdong said this and looked deeply at Shu Ran, then turned and left.

Shu Ran watched his gradually distancing image and her mind involuntarily replayed the barely suppressible mischievous smile on his face just now.

Then she suddenly felt that she had been duped by him!

But she couldn’t now run after him and tell him she wanted to call it off.

After a while, Shu Ran sighed in a mix of embarrassment and indignation: "Zhang Jingdong, just you wait!"
