Chapter 549: Playoffs

"Seven points for the A team." Zhao Muchi, the referee, lazily reminded, "Team B hasn't scored yet, so it's still Spades serving."

Spades threw it up, dropped it and hit it hard again, the ball almost flashed into the sand for the B team, even a highly physical man like Tang Erda didn't react, Muke tried to catch it once, but Bai Liu was quick to stop it - it would have been an obvious mistake to catch it.

"Can't catch it." Bai Yi looked incredulously across the huge sandy hole, muttering, "...... A ball from a monster like that can't be caught, no matter how you think about it."

"It does look like we can't catch Spades' ball." Fang Dian looked at the ball and rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "The strength and speed was a bit off the mark."

"Looks like we're not going to be able to catch this one, so should we take a timeout?" Bai Liu spreads his hands, his tone casual, "Tell the other team we can't catch it or something?"

Muke pursed his lips a little reluctantly, Tang Erda was relieved, but Mu Sicheng shouted, "Bai Liu, you have some backbone!"

"It's all about winning! You're so crazy in the game, why don't you go out and play volleyball with no determination to win! You're too decadent!"

Bai Liu shrugs noncommittally, "I have a disposable attitude to games like this where there is no concrete prize at stake, I don't have to win because I won't get anything, do I?"

Mu Sicheng: "......"

Shit, forgetting that the core purpose of this guy's game isn't winning at all, it's money!

"But it's no fun to let the other side waterproof the game, it's only fun if both sides do their best." Fang Dian shook her head, and after a moment's contemplation, she suddenly shifted her gaze to Bai Liu in her semi-opaque white shirt and raised her eyebrows subtly, "It's true that I can't catch it, but I have a way to keep Spades from serving it up."

Mu Sicheng quickly perks up and Muke jumps over to look at Fang Dian expectantly.

Only Bai Liu's heart was quickly filled with a sense of foreboding, his scalp tingling at that look in Fang Dian's eyes - the last time the woman had looked at him like that, when she had turned her head and auctioned off a million a year to Hou Tong.

...... such valuation and calculating eyes.

"What are you going to do?" Bai Liu asked calmly, side-eyeing Fang Dian's eyes.

"Ah, that's right!" Fang Dian smiled brightly as she slapped Bai Liu on the shoulder, "Spades loves you, doesn't he? Why don't you seduce him and make him lose his game so he can't serve with such power!"

Bai Liu: "......"

Sure enough.

"What's the difference between that and letting the other team let us win?" Bai Liu asked calmly in return.

"There's a big difference." Fang Dian, unmoved by Bai Liu's snubbing tactics, retorted with a smirk, "It's the difference between them being forced to lose to us, and losing to us of their own accord; the former is just a tactic, the latter is a surrender technique."

"Eh, don't resist, you're dying for our glorious victory! Go and seduce Spades!"

Fang Dian said as he pushed Bai Liu under the net.

Bai Liu stood still, took a deep breath and averted his eyes, "...... I won't lust after Spades ."

"Eh?" Fang Dian poked her head out from behind Bai Liu's back a little suspiciously, "You guys look pretty close, you haven't been seducing?"

Why, Fang Dian, could this woman ask such questions so naturally?

Muke and Tang Erda both quickly realise the meaning behind this statement, Muke's whole face flushes, he looks away politely and silently retreats, Tang Erda averts her gaze with feigned seriousness, clenches her fist and coughs twice, and pins away Mu Sicheng who has not yet reacted with her arm.

"Have you ever been seduced?" Bai Liu asked in a cold tone, intending to turn the tables on Fang Dian.

"That's for sure!" Fang Dian looked proud, " Mr. Lu can be easily fooled!"

Bai Liu: "......"

It was he who lost.

"Let me tell you ......" Fang Dian muttered mysteriously while holding Bai Liu's head and gesturing, "first you do this... then this ...... and finally this. ...then this ...... and finally this, got it?"

Bai Liu raised an eyebrow with a subtle look, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Fang Dian nodded with certainty, " Spades ate it up at first sight!"

Mu Sicheng, who was poking his head in the distance, looked at Fang Dian and Bai Liu together and scratched his heart with curiosity, frantically trying to get over to listen: "What are they discussing?"

Muke and Tang Erda, one looking to the sky and the other to the ground, remained silent in unison.

"The B team captain requests a timeout." Zhao Muchi saw Fang Dian raise his hand to signal a timeout, then took Bai Liu to the changing room and raised an eyebrow, "The game will start later."

Lu Yizhan watched as Fang Dian took Bai Liu to the changing room and began to look unsteady. He turned to Spades with grave eyes and patted him on the shoulder, telling him in a serious manner, "Whatever Bai Liu does later, keep your mind on it and serve well, okay?"

"Don't be confused by external things, stay true to your heart and we will have the final victory."

"I'll beat him." Spades nodded calmly.

The calm lasted less than three minutes before Bai Liu came out of the dressing room and Spades' eyes were instantly fixed on it.

Bai Liu unpinned his long hair, his white shirt that had been buttoned up to his heart - and most importantly, Bai Liu replaced his knee-length shorts with swim trunks, the triangular kind.

Fang Dian then poured water on Bai Liu's body, leaving her long hair and shirt damp and sticky, the long hair snaking down the collar to the top of her collarbone, where it coiled in the shape of a small snake, the shirt half-permeable against her skin.

"There!" Fang Dian looked convinced, " With Bai Liu dressed like this, we're going to win."

Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu with confusion: "Huh? Is this body different from the previous one?"

Lu Yizhan looked at Spades' almost nice open eyes and slowly covered his face with sadness - their team's main attack was still confused by something external and the momentum was gone!

Spades' attention was quickly diverted by the Bai Liu behind the net and his eyes were almost on the strands of hair on Bai Liu's heart, so he missed his serve and the volley narrowly missed the net.

"I'll do it!" Fang Dian moved quickly to net the ball from the back row and hauled it up steadily.

Lu Yizhan, the second passer on the other side, saw Fang Dian on the net and with a gaze in his eyes, he jumped to rest the ball and pushed it over again, which was dragged by Fang Dian.

"Don't think we only have Spades on our side." Lu Yizhan smiled gently, but his movements were stern, " Team Fang, I've been waiting under the net for you to come at me."

"Is that so?" Fang Dian replied with a smile, pulling back and jumping up in a pose for a dunk, "I haven't underestimated you, Mr. Lu."

Lu Yizhan also quickly jumped close to the net and put his hands up in the path of Fang Dian's shot - he was obviously trying to block the net and make it impossible for Fang Dian to get past the ball. Lu Yizhan is taller than Fang Dian, he has long hands and agile movements, and has a wide defensive range.

As the two jumped to almost face level, Fang Dian suddenly winked at Lu Yizhan, who was staring at her intently, and whispered, "Honey, do I look good in this swimsuit?"

Lu Yizhan, dismayed: "?!?!"

His defensive hands quickly appeared to break, and Fang Dian's eyes instantly went from flirtatious to fierce, her muscles tensing in her hands, leaning back and driving her entire body hard, snapping the ball down at that break with such force that it brought Lu Yizhan's entire body to the ground.

Fang Dian also landed on the ground and shook his fist and yelled NICE!

Lu Yizhan broke down: " Team Fang, you cheated!"

"But ......" Fang Dian ruffled her hair and gave Lu Yizhan a flirty kiss, "cheating is a regular practice in the game."

"You have to accept that, husband~"

"One point for Team B." Zhao Muchi counted lazily as he silently plucked the sunglasses off his head and put them on.

What a shiny couple's light, it's going to blind him.

Fifteen minutes later.

Zhao Muchi, with his cheeks resting on his head, announced the result with amusement: "Fifteen to eight in favour of Team B."

Lu Yizhan fell to his knees as he looked at the ground and drifted off in disbelief, "...... lost, after all that complete strategic planning, I actually ...... lost."

Spades was silent, but with his head down, his expression sullen and his lips pursed into a line, it was clear that he too could not accept the result of the match.

Bai Yi broke down and pointed at the two men and shouted, "What's wrong with you! You look like you've given it your all and still lost! You two are the ones who are holding us back! Bai Jiamu and I are the ones who are crying on our knees!"

"In the second half, all they had to do was shout at you and you wouldn't move! Me and Bai Jiamu were running silly! We managed to score one point, but you gave the rest away! Are you spies sent to interfere with us?"

"Show some sportsmanship, please! Get rid of the temptation of beauty and play the game! You start off so formal, you get me and Bai Jiamu all fired up, and then you two pieces of shit drop the ball like crazy!"

"You guys deserve the most serious volleyball game I've ever played in my life!"

Lu Yizhan: "......"

Spades: "......"

The two men apologised honestly, "I'm sorry."

Bai Yi was so angry that he almost had a brain hemorrhage: "I'm sorry! All the hard work I put into that game, all the youth I put into it, it was all for nothing!"

"One more game." Spades' eyes were determined, "I'll win this time."

Lu Yizhan was full of guilt as he rubbed the back of his head, "We will play well this time and not be led so easily by the other team."

"After all, we're only one team. I should have respected your feelings properly during the game."

Bai Yi heart's anger down some, he even a little moved to, tears are going to come out: "...... harm, we so long teammates, also do not need to say such things, and then a serious game to win back ...... "Come on the line.

Across the net Bai Liu spoke lightly, " Spades, no more fighting, let's go, let's go back to dinner."

Spades gave a quick oooh and flipped over the net and followed Bai Liu's back, clinging to Bai Liu's waist as he walked, walking in lockstep behind him.

" Mr. Lu!" Fang Dian waved excitedly, "We're having seafood tonight, come and cook!"

"Here you go!" Lu Yizhan ran over like a reflex, without looking back, "What do you want to eat?"

Looking at the backs of the two teammates who had completely forgotten about them, Bai Yi, who remained in place with tears on his face, was filled with numbness: "......"

What about the promise of another fight to win back the respect for him?

I was so naive to believe you guys!!!

Liao Ke, who was walking last, patted Bai Yi's shoulder sympathetically: "Want some seafood?"

Bai Yi yelled angrily, "EAT!!!"
