Chapter 1653: Chapter 1650: Bring It On
Itâs all openly playing tricks. If you say itâs easy to get along, it can be easy, but if not, itâs not so easy.
âBut Iâm not surprised. Your team is strong, so scoring is expected.â Chu Ziluo explained seriously.
Li Chunâer, seeing her praise so earnestly, felt better. If she had a tail, it would probably be wagging: âAlright, since youâre speaking the truth in a nice way, I forgive you.â
âThank you for forgiving me.â Chu Ziluo smiled.
Li Chunâer took the polo stick and led her horse away: âHmph, letâs continue. Donât cry when you lose.â
âOkay, I wonât.â Chu Ziluo said, somewhat helplessly.
As soon as Li Chunâer left, the match started again as expected.
She remained on the outskirts, which was actually Zhongjinâs initial arrangement. Several men were in the middle handling passing, shooting, and so on. If confronted by the opposition, the menâs riding skills were better, reducing the likelihood of incidents and protecting the three girls.
Although the distance on the outskirts was quite far, it almost never involved colliding with the opponents.
When Chu Ziluo thought of this.
She saw someone had just grabbed the ball in the middle, intending to pass it to a male teammate, but the teammate wasnât up to it, so he directly chose to shoot, and the result was obviousâthe attempt failed.
The match continued, and feeling the gaze from Zhongjin, Chu Ziluo looked towards him.
Zhongjin suddenly made a gesture at her.
Though Chu Ziluo was far away, she saw it clearly. She nodded slightly, steered her horse away from the front, and walked back; no one noticed her departure.
The match was intensely played in the middle. The ball kept being snatched, no one could keep it.
Suddenly, Zhongjin directly passed the ball, not to the male teammate beside him. Instead, it headed outside the field, moving quickly. Everyone instinctively chased after it, only to see the ball intercepted without notice and returned to Zhongjin, who had already broken out of the encirclement, making a beautiful shot straight in.
The whole process took place in the blink of an eye, and it wasnât until the goal was made that both teams reacted.
Someone said happily, âAh, Prince, youâre amazing! We finally scored. Your shot just now was so cool, I didnât even react.â
The speaker was none other than the second young master of the Qingguo Dukeâs Mansion, Li Zhongyan. He looked stunning in his red team uniform, exuding a strong youthful vibe.
Team Jiaâs teammates were all delighted. No one saw who had passed the ball just now; they merely assumed it was an accident and all praised Zhongjin.
Chu Ziluo also smiled while sitting on her horse. She was genuinely happy, not only because they scored but also because she participated and contributed. This sense of achievement was something she rarely experienced in the past.
Zhongjin didnât pay much attention to his teammatesâ praise, merely listening casually and responding succinctly, hardly saying a few words.
Only when no one was paying attention did he glance through the crowd and meet Chu Ziluoâs eyes.
Neither of them spoke, but Chu Ziluo smiled, evidently in a great mood.
Zhongjin withdrew his gaze, a rare curve forming on his lips, very subtle, unnoticed by anyone.
Team Yi, on the other hand, was somewhat depressed.
Princess Weisaiya still felt that Team Jia winning was a fluke and directly issued a challenge: âNow that itâs a showdown, Lord Rong, letâs continue. Donât be afraid; the next round Iâll get serious!â
Li Chunâer and others also started shouting along, making it extremely lively for a moment.
Li Zhongyan placed his hands on his hips and smiled back at them: âWeâre strong enough; bring it on.â
