Chu Xingchen and Xiao Wang went over and discovered that the competition was held by a business that saw business opportunities and specialized in selling badminton supplies.
They were quite good at it and told a good story about the origin of badminton. The story of the princess and Xiao Shaoqing was very exciting.
Xiao Wang's mouth curled up slightly when he heard it, but Chu Xingchen was a little surprised. The stories and legends of badminton are so beautiful, but no one knows the truth.
After telling the story, there are rules for the competition. Everyone can sign up, and the competition is divided into single and double competitions. Anyone who is traveling sweetly, whether unmarried or married, can participate in the double competition.
The single player competition relies on strength points, while the double competition method is different. It is calculated based on how many balls the two people hit each other. If you can keep the ball from falling, the more times you catch the ball, the more likely you are to win the championship.
There is only one chance for a two-player match, so it depends on your skills and understanding.
"Madam, let's join in too."
"Ah?" Chu Xingchen just wanted to watch the fun and never thought about participating.
"My wife hasn't played badminton with me for a long time." She said she would practice in the future, but it became empty talk.
Chu Xingchen didn't know what to say for a moment. Badminton was indeed a broken promise, but the situation wasn't special. The queen was also ill.
"I know I'm busy, I didn't mean to do it, but today I'll take advantage of this opportunity to play with me again."
After Xiao Wang finished speaking, he took Chu Xingchen's hand and pushed through the crowd to sign up, "We'll sign up too."
"Okay, this young man, the people participating are you and your..."
"My wife." Xiao Wang said without hesitation, "She is my wife."
"You two are a perfect match. I hope you can win the first prize."
Chu Xingchen glanced at Xiao Wang, then looked at the hand he was holding on to her, took a deep breath and told himself not to think too much.
"Before the official game, you two can practice and get familiar with each other. This is a set of badminton balls and number plates. The official game will take place in a quarter of an hour."
Chu Xingchen broke away from Xiao Wang's hand and stepped forward to take it, "Since you have entered the competition, let's compete well and let's go practice."
Chu Xingchen and Xiao Wang concentrated on practicing. During the practice, they gradually forgot about the awkwardness before. They were friends in the first place.
When the official game started, a lot of people gathered outside to watch. Because it was still early for badminton to come out, everyone's skills were average. Some only served and didn't catch the ball. It was quite funny and embarrassing.
But this sport is indeed suitable for all ages, and many people are interested.
The number of registrations for the doubles competition was smaller than that of the singles, and their skills were average. Soon it was the turn of Chu Xingchen and Xiao Wang.
The two of them have outstanding temperament and appearance, and they attracted everyone's attention as soon as they came on the court. Chu Xingchen used to like playing badminton, and his skills were good, while Xiao Wang was talented and knew how to feed the ball. As soon as the two of them started playing, they would go back and forth, okay?
Wonderful.
"Wow, that's amazing."
"How many times did it take?"
Everyone originally only paid attention to their appearance, but when they started playing, the focus turned to badminton, and they realized that they could win so many games.
Amid everyone's cheers and surprises, Chu Xingchen and Xiao Wang became more and more open-minded and went crazy. They came and went, and Xiao Wang stopped feeding the ball. It looked like a formal game.
But because I hit so hard and felt so good, I stopped when I counted to sixty.
But if a person catches the ball thirty times, it is already very impressive.
"That's awesome! Hit me again!"
Someone shouted in the crowd. Chu Xingchen and Xiao Wang looked at each other and smiled. In fact, they really wanted to continue playing, but the game was just a game.
Chu Xingchen was sweating. Xiao Wang took the fan from nowhere and was about to fan her. A man passing by Chu Xingchen suddenly stumbled on his feet and was about to pounce towards Chu Xingchen.
A hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
He was deliberately fascinated by Chu Xingchen's beauty, and deliberately wanted to get close to her by getting close to her.
Xiao Wang saw clearly from the side, his face darkened, he kicked the person away and protected Chu Xingchen behind him.
The man was kicked to the ground and became furious. He got up and was furious. He was about to settle the score with Xiao Wang, the pretty boy. However, when he came into contact with Xiao Wang's eyes, he felt a chill running down his spine and was instantly frightened.
"I almost bumped into the girl... I'm so sorry." The words of finding fault instantly turned into words of apology.
Seeing that he was still looking at Chu Xingchen, Xiao Wang opened his fan and blocked Chu Xingchen, "You still have to watch the road when walking, so as not to break your arms and legs."
If he dared to touch His Highness, he would definitely break his hands.
The man only felt his hands and feet getting cold, and he nodded in haste and ran away.
Zhou Buyan stood in the crowd and slowly took his hand back. Xiao Shaoqing had already solved it without him taking action.
He disappeared back into the crowd.
"Are you not scared?" Xiao Wang asked Chu Xingchen.
"No." Chu Xingchen looked at the fan in his hand. Xiao Wang looked very much like a young man holding a fan at the moment.
Xiao Wang fanned the wind, but most of the wind went to Chu Xingchen.
After this episode, the singles competition continued, but the doubles competition ended quickly. Unexpectedly and as expected, Chu Xingchen and Xiao Wang came first.
The prizes prepared by the merchants were very interesting and festive. They turned out to be two small and exquisite rice dumplings, sachets filled with spices, and five-color silk threads.
Chu Xingchen really liked eating rice dumplings and wanted to leave after taking the prize. However, the merchant said that the rice dumplings were provided by the restaurant and asked them to try if they tasted good.
The corner of Chu Xingchen's mouth twitched, and the sponsors from the merchants came out.
The mentioned restaurant immediately bowed to the side and said, "I would like to invite you two to have a taste." The attitude was extremely sincere.
Zhou Buyan didn't know when he arrived behind them. He identified them silently and didn't notice any traces of drugging before he nodded to Chu Xingchen and left.
Chu Xingchen and Xiao Wang cooperated to peel it off and took a sip. They thought it was pretty good and very fragrant, so they nodded.
"Thank you both," the restaurant manager said after thanking him, "the two rice dumplings taste different. The two distinguished guests are actually a husband and wife. Why don't you feed each other a taste today."
As soon as the shopkeeper said this, the onlookers immediately became excited. The single-player competition continued, but no one was watching them. Even the contestants came to eat dog food and booed.
What is the difference between this and being temporarily added to the show on stage?
Chu Xingchen wanted to refuse immediately. This was inappropriate. Besides, Xiao Wang had mysophobia. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to let him eat what she had eaten?
As a result, just as she was about to speak, Xiao Wang reached out to feed her.
At this time, everyone's cheers became louder and louder.
Chu Xingchen glanced at Xiao Wang, who smiled and said, "Eat, madam, we won't be able to get off the stage if we don't eat."
Chu Xingchen smiled awkwardly and ate the leftover rice dumplings that Xiao Wang had eaten.
Xiao Wang smiled, then leaned forward slightly and opened his mouth, "Ah."
Chu Xingchen swallowed quickly and said, "I've eaten."
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Wang opened his mouth again, and Chu Xingchen could only feed Xiao Wang the rice dumpling he had bitten amidst everyone's cheers.
She was afraid that Xiao Wangji would show his uncomfortable expression, and she was also afraid that he would vomit. She was about to leave, but was stopped by the merchant.
"This is also a gift for you two, please wear it to each other."
Xiao Wang didn't hesitate, picked up the five-color silk thread, took her hand, "Madam, please don't talk while I tie it."
When tying the five-color thread, it is a rule that children are not allowed to speak.
Xiao Wang carefully tied it on Chu Xingchen's wrist. The shopkeeper actually shouted "Okay!" when he looked at Chu Xingchen, and then looked at Chu Xingchen encouragingly.
Xiao Wang pointed Chu Xingchen to look at the sachet. Chu Xingchen tentatively picked up the sachet and tied it to Xiao Wang's belt.
Xiao Wang lowered his head and looked at Chu Xingchen with a smile, reluctant to blink amid the crowd's cheers.
This was the first time she gave him a sachet. Although she didn't embroider it herself, the one she gave him and tied it was almost the same.
Just as Xiao Wang was thinking about it, Chu Xingchen suddenly raised his head, "Xiao Wang, do you really not like me?"
