Jiang Xiu revealed a polite smile facing this unexpected encounter with an old friend. Our Deity Xiu always acted a bit politer towards girls, but he didn't expect Nangong Kou'er to just give him a mere glance, showing no change in her expression, then continue playing tennis.

Hmm? Jiang Xiu was astonished. Did she already forget about the matter or is she deliberately pretending she doesn't know who I am? You're really something. I even saved your life in Jiang City.historical

You are going to fall out with me now that we're in the Imperial City?

Jiang Zhan patted Jiang Xiu's shoulder, "How about it? Want me to introduce you?"

Jiang sniggered in his heart. Since you're planning to act like you don't know me, why would I tangle myself with you? Jiang Xiu also had no intentions of interacting with Nangong Kou'er.

Without even waiting for Jiang Xiu's answer, Jiang Zhan dashed over towards the other girl, "Sis You.."

The other girl stopped.

She wore a pale blue T-shirt as well as a tennis skirt. She left the tennis racked behind and came over, "Yo! Little Zhan, what are you doing over here?" Her sight fell on Jiang Xiu, "Who is this?"

"That family's son." Jiang Zhan commented.

The girl's expression turned serious. She was around 25-26 years old and elder than both of them. She sized Jiang Xiu up and down once as Jiang Zhan introduced her, "She's Third Uncle's daughter, Jiang You."

She asked, "How about it? You wanna play together?"

"Okay. Since there's four of us, let's play doubles." Jiang Zhan added in.

"I can't play!" Our Deity Xiu wasn't acting modestly right now. He really didn't know how to play. Moreover, since Nangong Kou'er was acting as if she didn't know him, there was no need for him to seek trouble.

"It's okay. How about you pair with me? Little Zhan, you can pair with Kou'er."

"Sis You, how about I pair with you?" Jiang Zhan had a mission this time, to play as the matchmaker between those two so he wanted to group them together, but it looked his elder sister had other plans.

"Stop dallying! Let's begin!"

A mutual understanding was required to play doubles, but there was an exception to this, which were people with extremely high skills than their partner's. As Jiang Xiu prepared to serve the ball, Nangong Kou'er, on the opposite side, shook her head. What an unorthodox posture. Looks like he's a complete amateur. Who is this guy? Did he agree to play even though he doesn't know how to? This is just a waste of my time.

"Beauty, my serve is quite fierce!"

Nangong Kou'er rolled her eyes in disdain. Say those words when you manage to serve skillfully, okay?

"Bring it on!"

Jiang Xiu threw the ball up in the sky and just like those ethereal figures on TV, he hit the ball with the racket flawlessly then shouted at her, "Ooh, be careful!"

Nangong Kou'er was frightened. She believed Jiang Xiu would miss the ball, but it had come over very quickly with high momentum and force. By the time she waved her racket in a hurry, the ball had already passed by it and hit her body. Luckily, it only hurt her a little but what was humiliating was that this guy was too shameless and immoral. He had targeted her left breast.

Moreover, Nangong Kou'er wore a white shirt, so the stamp on her left breast was quite conspicuous.

The girl's face flushed up. She bit her lips with shame while that guy added salt on the wound, "Oof. Beauty, are you okay? Does it hurt there?"

What are you pointing it out for?!

Things like these happened if one were careless while playing tennis, but if someone said it out loud in public, it would be a little embarrassing.

Bastard!

"I'm fine!"

Jiang Xiu gave her a thumbs up, "Stronk. Northern girls are indeed stronk. If it were our Jiangnan's girls', they would weep endlessly."

Nangong Kou'er almost puked two mouthfuls of blood out. This guy really had a way with words. The entire meaning had changed. Who did you say is stronk?! You're stronk! Your whole family is stronk! This Lady is much softer.

"Once more!"

She plotted a plan to retaliate against him in an even more ruthless way.

"Alright. Remember, my serve is quite fierce!"

This time, our Lady Kou'er had prepared herself mentally. Though that guy's movements were unorthodox, his serves packed quite the force and were so fast that it was difficult to receive them.

"Beauty, be careful!"

Whoosh!

As Lady Kou'er saw the ball fly over, perhaps due to the shadow left behind in her heart from a few moments ago, she felt the place she got hit before hurt a little and subconsciously tensed up a bit. She waved the racket in a rush but missed the ball again. The ball accurately hit her right breast, giving her even more pain than the last time.

"Aaaah!"

What's even more hateful was that guy even screamed as if he was on the one who got hit. It was too shameless.

Now, there was a stamp of a tennis ball on her right side as well. Both the left and right were attacked, none able to escape from his evil clutches, and that too in such a public place, it was really.. Even if she had a thick face, she couldn't endure the shame.

Scoundrel, stinky immoral rogue.

"Oi, are you trying to hit the ball or hit the person?"

After seeing Nangong Kou'er suffer losses, Jiang You couldn't stay silent and retorted savagely.

Nangong Kou'er bit her lips. Perhaps because she was enduring the pain or the shame, her face had become wholly flushed, looking inexplicably attractive. She glared at Jiang Xiu viciously, desiring an explanation from him.

Such a coincidence didn't occur in this world, she believed it was done on purpose.

This person was really too shameless.

Jiang Xiu said innocently, "I already said I can't play."

"Beauty, are you alright?"

How can you target so accurately if you can't play? It was clearly done on purpose, but conceding wasn't in Nangong Kou'er's nature.

"I'm fine. Let's continue."

Once again, Jiang Xiu gave a thumbs up to her shamelessly, "Stronk!"

Nangong Kou'er wished she could go smash his head with her tennis racket.

Jiang You said, "Since you can't play, let me serve."

After Jiang You served the ball, the match advanced smoothly. However, Jiang Xiu, this shameless guy always returned the ball towards Nangong Kou'er and even used that hateful mouth of his to call out weirdly each time he returned the serve.

"Beauty, here I come!"

"Beauty, be careful!"

"Aaaah!"

Nangong Kou'er didn't dare to receive the incoming ball coming over at a fast speed and let it go. Just being able to evade it felt like a grace from Buddha to her, so she didn't even dare to think about fighting back. However, she suddenly felt her buttocks hurt. The tennis ball had rebounded after striking the net and smashed right on top of her butt, making her bite her lips once again. Scoundrel!

Nangong Kou'er was furious and embarrassed. She vowed to never play tennis with this man again. He was simply too shameless, a low scum of society, a Scrooge.

Everyone sat down to rest after finishing a match with great difficulty. Jiang Zhan pulled Jiang You along to buy beverages, leaving behind the other two. Jiang Xiu asked her, "Beauty, the shots just now didn't hurt you, right?"

Nangong Kou'er resisted the urge to bite him and treated him with indifference. No matter how well our Lady Nangong Kou'er was brought up, she had no intentions of treating him with courtesy. She had never seen such an obscene, classless man like him.

Jiang Xiu sat opposite to her, "Aaah. Lady Nangong's style has really changed after leaving Jiang City."

"Hmm?"

Nangong Kou'er looked towards Jiang Xiu in shock, "Jiang City? How do you know I went to Jiang City? You are.." She felt that this guy indeed looked a little familiar.

"Looks like you've really forgotten me."

I never knew such a shameless person like you. But she felt quite strange. I only met a few people in Jiang City.. Suddenly, she recalled something, "You are.. that.."

"You really forgot." It seemed like she wasn't pretending to not know him and had really forgotten her and he had mistakenly made her suffer. "I stopped your Ferrari and saved your life. Before leaving, you gave your phone number to me."

Nangong Kou'er's eyes glowed, "It's you. That, Jiang.."

Indeed, this was a heavy hit.

The feeling of being forgotten by a girl was indeed no good.

"Jiang Luoxia!"

"Yeeeaahhhh.." Nangong Kou'er continued, "It's indeed you. I remember you were a good person. Why did you.." She was about to say 'why did you become so shameless,' but didn't have the nerve to say that.

Jiang Xiu replied helplessly, "Due to a misunderstanding. I thought.."

Nangong Kou'er realized that he thought she had deliberately acted like she didn't know him. She too felt helpless, "That's why you bullied me? You're indeed a scoundrel."

"Let's have another match. I'll let you do as you wish."

Nangong Kou'er was about to refuse him, feeling as if it was beneath her to something like that, but suddenly, a cold expression overcame her face, "You aren't allowed to dodge. The person who dodges is a dog.." She dashed towards the tennis court with a murderous look on her face.

"Hei!"

Nangong Kou'er ruthlessly hit Jiang Xiu with the ball several times. He even screamed wretchedly on purpose, making her even angrier. She gave him a beautiful and charming glance then returned to the chair in a fit of anger, "Didn't I tell you to call me when you arrive at the Imperial Capital? Why didn't you call? This kind of misunderstanding wouldn't have occurred then. I'm telling you, this matter isn't done. You have to properly repent for it."

"Okay. I was in the wrong this time."

"Let's rest first!"

Jiang Zhan and Jiang You finally returned with water, "Here, drink some water." He handed over a bottle of mineral water.

Jiang Xiu also felt thirsty after moving for so long, so he didn't ponder on it much and gulped down the water, licking his lips once he was done. "How come the flavor is a bit strange?"

Jiang Zhan evaded his gaze a little, "What? That's not possible!"

Nangong Kou'er also furrowed her brows a bit, "The flavor is indeed a little strange. This hasn't expired, right?"

Jiang Zhan said, "How can that be? This is Donglu Mountain. No one would dare to do that! This water is specially brought over from the springs in the Alps. Don't worry."

Jiang Xiu smiled sarcastically. Even the drinking water was arranged specially. However, he didn't think about it much and drank the entire bottle.

"We're full of sweat. Let's go take a bath."

The party walked into the sports building. Jiang Xiu felt a little dizzy. He felt something was wrong. His body felt hot, and when he turned to look at Nangong Kou'er, he noticed her face was flushed as well. Something was wrong with both of them.
