Shall I go then

It's different from the badminton competition in the school sports meet.

It is divided into individual competitions and team competitions.

Although the individual competition also adopts the elimination system, the preliminary round here follows the formal best - of - three - games system with 21 points per game.

There will be a preliminary selection over the weekend.

Strictly speaking, you just need to keep winning.

The team competition is different. It adopts a single - round - robin system.

Each team has to play against every other team once.

The team competition includes five events: men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles.

However, players are not allowed to participate in multiple events.

Each player can only participate in one event.

The team that wins three matches first is considered the winner.

The winning team will get more points, and the losing team will also get points. After all the teams have played against each other, the points will be counted.

The team with the most points in the end will be the champion.

It can only be said that the rules of badminton are quite complicated.

But Lin Mo, sitting in the spectator stand, didn't bother to care about all that.

At the beginning, it was the individual competitions.

And Lin Mo only watched the individual competition of Jiang Yunlu.

The badminton hall here is about four or five times the size of Guangba's.

But there is no spectator stand.

If you want to watch the game, you can go to the second or third floor.

The corridors with railings on both sides are also natural spectator stands.

However, Lin Mo didn't go up. He just stood at the boundary between the courts.

The men's and women's singles are held simultaneously.

The referees are the leading teachers from other schools. Since the allocation is random, there probably won't be any biased refereeing.

Well, probably.

In badminton, you can't give on - the - spot guidance. You can only say a few words to the players during the water breaks.

But Jiang Yunlu is really good at badminton.

The youth group is for those under 18 years old.

Theoretically, students from G1 to G3 may participate in the competition.

Students like Qi Tao, who have fully entered the athlete ranks as G3 students, can't participate in this competition.

So Qi Tao can only lead the team and act as a coach like Wang Yiping.

At this time, Jiang Yunlu is facing an 18 - year - old girl.

However, Jiang Yunlu's badminton skills are obviously better.

Jiang Yunlu, wearing shorts and a short - sleeved sportswear, is ready.

Lin Mo just occasionally looks at his phone and then watches Jiang Yunlu win points.

After the first game, the score is 21 - 8, and Jiang Yunlu wins the first game.

She trots over and says, "What are you looking at? You're not even watching me play."

"I'm looking for a good place to have lunch. After all, you have another game this afternoon."

If she loses this game, there won't be a next one.

But Lin Mo believes that Jiang Yunlu will win perfectly, so he is already celebrating prematurely, but only in his mind.

Nowadays, there are group - buying deals everywhere, and it's easy to see where there are group - buying offers nearby on the phone.

So Lin Mo is making a choice.

He also takes a look at the still - independent review platform.

"So where are we going for lunch?" Jiang Yunlu asks casually.

Lin Mo raises his eyebrows and looks at the girl. "Did I say I'd take you?"

"Go to hell!"

The girl pretends to punch Lin Mo hard, but her fist lands on him softly.

A beautiful girl like Jiang Yunlu naturally attracts a lot of attention.

But when they see this scene, most of the boys' hearts are broken.

However, in a corner, a boy is gritting his teeth and glaring at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo immediately senses the hostility.

The boy with a badminton racket just gives Lin Mo a hateful look and then continues his game.

And Lin Mo remembers what the boy looks like.

Judging from his clothes, he is a student from a foreign - language international school.

That's a private school.

It's also the kind of noble school often mentioned in novels.

It's all about charging high fees.

The boy's equipment is top - notch.

His skills are also quite standard.

It seems that this boy probably knows Jiang Yunlu.

Moreover, he is very likely to be Jiang Yunlu's secret admirer or childhood friend.

Unfortunately, you've met me, the new arrival.

Jiang Yunlu also easily wins the second game.

Lin Mo hands her a towel.

"Not bad. Your skills are still improving steadily."

"Well, it's thanks to Coach Lin's guidance and training that I can improve."

Wang Yiping: Then I'll leave?

In fact, Lin Mo has been coaching Jiang Yunlu during physical education classes.

He basically conducts targeted training on her weak points.

Jiang Yunlu's advantages are quite obvious. She has long legs, good jumping ability, strong arm muscles, and a fast reaction speed.

She was already very good before Lin Mo met her.

But after Lin Mo's intensive training, she has become even stronger.

Of course, Lin Mo has also put in some extra effort. He has used spiritual energy to nourish Jiang Yunlu's body.

Now, her physical strength is better than that of an adult man.

It's the same for Xie Yuling and Chu Miaomiao.

It's just that the improvement in the other two is not as obvious.

After the game here is over, Jiang Yunlu goes to Wang Yiping to report the result and then is about to go to the other side to rest.

However, Lin Mo directly asks, "Coach Wang, how are we going to arrange lunch?"

Wang Yiping guesses what Lin Mo means.

"Everyone will have a group meal. After the meal, you can go back to the bus to rest and then continue the competition this afternoon."

He adds another sentence.

"Since Yunlu has advanced, she has another game this afternoon. Otherwise, you could go home now."

Jiang Yunlu doesn't want to go home so soon. She hopes that Lin Mo will be with her all day.

Lin Mo nods. "I'm planning to take her out for lunch. We'll come back for the afternoon game."

Hearing this, Wang Yiping frowns. "It's better not to. If you eat something bad, she may not be able to play this afternoon."

"Then how can you be sure that the place for the group meal is clean? If we all go there, won't we all be affected?"

Well, this kind of sophistry makes sense.

Wang Yiping raises his eyebrows and finally waves his hand.

"Forget it. If it doesn't work this year, there's always next year."

"Thank you, Coach Wang." Lin Mo is still very polite.

After saying that, Jiang Yunlu starts to pack her badminton bag.

"Leave your things with me. I'll take them to the bus later."

Wang Yiping waves to Jiang Yunlu, and Jiang Yunlu smiles happily:

"Thank you, coach."

After saying that, Jiang Yunlu runs to the changing room to change her clothes.

After all, it's a bit cold outside. The shorts and short - sleeved clothes were only worn for the convenience of the game.

After Jiang Yunlu changes her clothes and comes out, she puts her sportswear in the badminton bag and then pulls Lin Mo's wrist and runs outside.

Wang Yiping sighs helplessly.

"Why does such a nice girl have to be with such a guy?"

However, in the corner of the court, the boy with a trace of venom in his eyes takes out a mobile phone from his badminton bag and makes a call.

"Hello, Uncle Jiang. This is Xia Yusheng. Yes, I'm participating in the competition today. I saw Yunlu leaving the stadium holding a boy's hand. They seem to be quite close..."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yusheng looks at the door, clenching his fists.

"If I can't have her, neither can you."
