Chapter 72: Fight, Fight, Fight

The man stood tall and imposing, exuding a cold, fierce aura.

He resembled a panther poised to strike—elegant yet powerful, radiating masculine strength.

Slowly, he raised his arm, and in the next moment, the volleyball shot straight toward Shen Mingxuan’s face, brimming with an overwhelming, oppressive force.

As Shen Mingxuan watched the ball get closer and closer, it felt as if the blood in his body froze with fear. Suddenly, he screamed and stumbled backward.

At that moment, the volleyball grazed the hair near his ear and slammed heavily into the platinum sand.

Shen Mingxuan’s pupils trembled. In that instant, he felt a chilling fear of death emanating from that ball.

Suddenly, his legs shook, and he fell to the ground in a panic.

“Mingxuan-ge, are you okay?” Bai Ruoruo immediately ran to his side, concerned, but then she turned and pointed at Gu Chuan, “Gu Chuan, how could you deliberately aim the volleyball at Mingxuan-ge?”

Bai Ruoruo knew that Shen Mingxuan was her biggest supporter right now, so she had to protect him, even if it meant offending Gu Chuan.

But when Gu Chuan’s icy gaze fell upon her, fear spread through her heart. Still, she stubbornly continued, “That ball almost hit Mingxuan-ge’s face…”

“Shut up!” Shen Mingxuan suddenly yelled angrily, startling Bai Ruoruo, who pouted in grievance, “Mingxuan-ge, I was just trying to help you.”

Shen Mingxuan pushed Bai Ruoruo aside as he stood up, his expression dark and grim as he coldly said, “This is a competition. If you don’t want to compete, then step aside!”

Bai Ruoruo was upset by Shen Mingxuan’s harshness and felt he was being foolish.

Gu Chuan had clearly served the ball with the intention of targeting him, so why not let her speak up? It would gain them sympathy from everyone!

But Bai Ruoruo overlooked something crucial: she was accustomed to playing the victim to gain sympathy.

However, Shen Mingxuan was a proud, macho man with a strong sense of dignity. Being publicly humiliated by falling to the ground in fear of Gu Chuan’s serve was already embarrassing enough. Having a woman cause a scene on his behalf only made it worse!

【Wow, that serve by Brother Chuan was incredible!】

【When Brother Chuan jumped to serve, showing a bit of his waist—those strong muscles, ahhh, Mimi is so lucky!】

【But seriously, wasn’t Actor Shen (Film Emperor) a bit too timid? It was just a serve, and he got so scared he fell. Mimi was right—he really is weak.】

【Haha, I strongly suspect Brother Chuan was settling a personal score. Don’t mess with a jealous man.】

【Exactly! Who told Actor Shen to confidently bring up how Jiang Mi used to chase him? If he wasn’t asking for trouble, who was?】

Gu Chuan continued to dominate the match with his terrifying power.

Two minutes later, the match ended with Gu Chuan and Chen Wanruo as the victors.

As soon as the game ended, Shen Mingxuan was completely drained, sweating profusely, and his legs trembling as he left the court.

Jiang Mi casually glanced at the utterly exhausted Shen Mingxuan and the aggrieved Bai Ruoruo before heading straight onto the field.

Under the sunlight, the girl’s skin was so pale it was almost transparent, and her eyes, like peach blossoms, shimmered with light, reflecting the man’s cold, handsome face.

She seemed curious, yet a bit puzzled.

“Brother, who do you think will win, you or me?”

But before Gu Chuan could answer, Jiang Mi had already walked to the other side of the court and stood in position.

Ji Tong, who had originally wanted to suggest that Jiang Mi consider his pride and not just focus on showing off herself, looked at Gu Chuan on the opposite side and then at the utterly exhausted Shen Mingxuan. He wisely swallowed his words, quietly moved to the side, and stood back.

【So excited! The doubles match is about to begin!】

【This doubles match is bound to be sweet and sticky!】

【Our Brother Chuan is the best husband ever. He’ll definitely go easy on his wife—he wouldn’t dare go too hard on her.】

【Come on, fight, the more intense, the better!】
