Chapter 168: Eagerness

Over the years, Han Suwen lived in an environment wherein all his actions were seen as something not decent. Every time he performs better, they thought it was an act of rebellion to try to steal Han Baiwei’s position as the legitimate son.

As for his mother, she was nowhere to be found after abandoning him to that house. Han Suwen has always been alone on surviving for himself.

Joining this competition was actually not really his dreams nor an intention. He just wanted to try on forming a life he can control even with so many seatbacks waiting for him. He already expected that Han Baiwei would definitely follow to create a mess for him but he didn’t care. He just wanted to let everyone see that he can stand by himself and can also be seen with a different perspective aside from being an illegitimate son.

Han Suwen can be another person aside from that identity. He can prove it.

But it’s quite difficult being himself without the stage. He was used to ignoring the things around them— tightly covering himself so no matter what others hit him, he won’t bulge. This is what he learned early during his younger days inside that house. He was the person whom they could vent in anger. Even if it’s not physical abuse, the verbal beatings were enough for him to stay indifferent to whatever others say.

Only when he’s on stage can he feel he has the freedom to do what he wants, this is the biggest realization he felt. From the moment he felt free on stage, he began taking it seriously and has always been eager to learn new things.

For now, challenging Shen Lou is not about overestimating himself. He knew his strengths and weaknesses. Only if he can face the stronger opponent can he feel that he has to do better so he will not be looked down upon.

As time passes by, he can feel the sweat forming on his body. This wetness would even inevitably cause his hold to the racket slightly loosen so his attack gradually became lesser. He cannot win against Shen Lou, he knew that.

But it was not enough.

The weakness that he could feel would only drive him to move further. Even though he could feel his body getting numb and his wrist started getting heavier, he still wanted to continue.

Shen Lou had long noticed the changes of Han Suwen. Every hit contains something different— desperate and eager.

This made him stunned but quickly gathered himself up.

His expression gradually became serious and took this battle with more firmness. Since his opponent treats this importantly, he will also do that.

Shen Lou’s attack became faster as he also combined a few tricks to deceive Han Suwen on his attacks. Of course the young man was obviously inexperienced with these things so there are times that he wasn’t able to hit back the ball. The score ws getting higher in favor of him but they didn’t stop.

Shen Lou thinks the fight cannot last too long but to his surprise, Han Suwen seems to gradually learn the pattern of the tricks and gradually fights back. Even with his immature actions on trying to deceive him too, that surprised him because of his fast adaptability.

The atmosphere in the court became heated as they saw how Han Suwen fought for himself. Those trainees who were supposed to feel bad because they couldn’t play with their own levels gradually became eager to try for themselves.

Even if they knew that they would lose, what about it?

They suddenly wanted to try it too!

He Yan’s eyes brightened and was eager to try too. He wanted to try it with Xing Ren but the latter already had a partner to play with. He could only pout in dismay and happened to look at the trainee on the corner who was just sitting quietly.

"!!!" He Yan’s eyes brighten. It was Qin An!

He excitedly went closer to him and stood at his usual distance. "Qin An, let’s play too!" He excitedly invited the young man.

But before he could answer, some trainees laughed at his remark. "He Yan, are you joking? Qin An can’t play."

He Yan looks confused. "Why?"

"He doesn’t have a mental power, how could he play with this? That’s impossible."

"!!!" How could he forget?!

He Yan quickly clasped his own hands together and looked at the young man with an apologetic face. "I’m sorry!"

Fortunately, Qin An wasn’t offended. He just glanced at him lightly before looking back at the court.

He Yan bit his lips and stared eagerly at the space beside the young man. He wanted to sit beside Qin An!

He saw Han Suwen earlier! They are sitting close again! He’s so envious!

But will Qin An agree?

As for the obvious shining gaze, how could Qin An not notice it?

As he knew He Yan’s intention, he was speechless. He subconsciously stiffen his back lightly but forces himself not to care.

He is certainly not ready for He Yan’s energy but as time passes by, Qin An felt he was sitting on the tip of the needles because the bright gaze didn’t diminish at all.

"...."

Even the ice-berg grim reaper like him couldn’t finally handle the stare and he could only turn his head and meet the young man’s eyes on him.

It was shining too brightly like two small suns flashing more dazzling than the lights in the court.

"..." The gaze has an obvious intention.

In the end, Qin An could only sigh and was about to nod and agree but before he could do that, they heard a commotion on the side of the court.

While everyone was busy looking at the game, a strange thing happened when the water bottle of the trainee fell. That bottle didn’t contain plain water but a juice that the trainee’s mother brewed. He just pleaded with the company to let him have it with him and after such time, the juice powder decreased so he was stingy on letting anyone drink it.

He treasured it very much and was worried that someone would steal it so he guarded it and put it near him so he could just look at it.

And in the next moment, who knew that the bottle fell with the lid open! It spilled the juice that his mother made which angered him!

Who dares?!

The trainee was stunned for a second and angrily looked at the nearest trainee and the only one who was sitting on the side.

"Gu Yijin!"
