Chapter 447: Chapter 447
Qiao Xi laughed, "See, you’re twisting my words again."
Shen Dang replied lazily, "Oh, am I?"
Qiao Xi glared at him, "Isn’t it obvious?"
Shen Dang’s eyes twinkled with amusement, "Then tell me, what is so interesting about me? Convince me, and I’ll believe you."
Interesting about him?
Does Boss Shen have any interesting points?
Seeing her unable to respond, he proudly said, "See, you can’t even say it now."
Qiao Xi opened her mouth to speak, but at that moment, Su Tutu came over with Sheng Chao, clucking her tongue a few times, "What are you two whispering about? Isn’t being together all the time enough for you? Maybe we should separate you two."
Before Shen Dang could speak, Zhu Zhu chimed in, "Don’t compete with me—just separate me and Xiao Nai."
Was he not handsome enough in his wife’s heart anymore?
Shen Dang was still holding Qiao Xi’s hand, not wanting to be separated from her.
Mansa smiled gently, "Then we should thank Zhu Zhu for her noble act."
Finally, the teams were divided. Qiao Xi and Shen Dang were in one team with the couple Sheng Chao and Xiao Nai, and the rest were automatically grouped together.
The host acted as the referee.
After drawing lots, it was Qiao Xi’s team to serve first.
The ball was in Shen Dang’s hands.
Sheng Chao took the initiative, "Ah Dang, let me serve."
Shen Dang gave him the chance to perform, "Alright."
He tossed the ball towards Sheng Chao.
Sheng Chao didn’t try to catch it, instead, he hit it directly to the opposite side.
Sheng Chao played fast and fierce, clearly putting strength into it—he often exercised, and his physical strength was undoubted, the volleyball breaking through the air to the other side, an unstoppable force for those who were weaker.
Qin Lang and Su Ye both rushed forward to counter, but the ball slipped out of Su Ye’s hands, flying out of bounds.
"Amazing! We scored the first point!"
Su Tutu jumped up joyously, circulating Sheng Chao and Qiao Xi for a high-five.
Qiao Xi was also pleased, "Brother Chao is incredible."
Damn, Sheng Chao had stolen his limelight.
Otherwise, Qiao Xi would have just said, "Shen Dang is incredible."
Sheng Chao was also waiting for his wife’s compliment, but it never came.
A flicker of disappointment crossed his face, looking at Su Tutu’s broad smile, he casually asked, "Wife, was I impressive?"
"Absolutely! My husband is always impressive!" Su Tutu quickly praised, "My husband is the best in the world!"
Sheng Chao was satisfied.
While one side celebrated, the other was shrouded in gloom—Gu Yingying, understanding as ever, supported her husband, "Don’t worry, darling, it’s just the first point. We still have a chance."
They lost the point, but it was still Qiao Xi’s team’s turn to serve.
Shen Dang served a decent ball, maintaining a peaceful rhythm, the ball passing back and forth through the air.
Just when everyone thought the game would proceed smoothly, Shen Dang unexpectedly smashed a powerful spike. The source of this content ɪs N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt
The ball spun in the air.
No one could catch it, thus scoring another point for their side.
Xiao Nai whistled, "Boss Shen is awesome!"
The play was beautiful and everyone cheered.
The sunlight illuminated Qiao Xi’s transcendent face, seemingly glowing, "Great job."
Shen Dang’s eyes also twinkled with deep amusement—it was an intoxicating smile.
More radiant than the sun.
After several exchanges, Qiao Xi’s team clinched the victory.
"Boss Shen and President Sheng are too good, they shouldn’t be on the same team—we need to separate them," Gu Yingying suggested.
Zhu Zhu agreed enthusiastically, "Yes, separate them!"
Mansa took the initiative, "We’ll team up with Boss Shen and Xixi—husband, okay?"
Qin Lang smiled at Shen Dang "Alright, this time we’ll let Boss Shen lead us to victory."
New teams were formed: Qiao Xi, Shen Dang, with Qin Lang and his wife, and Xiao Nai.
Zhu Zhu still refused to team up with Xiao Nai.
This time Sheng Chao served first.
He specifically aimed the ball at Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi couldn’t catch it.
Realizing Sheng Chao’s intent, Shen Dang quickly stepped in front of Qiao Xi and returned the ball.
The ball landed at a tricky angle, brushing the line of the opponent’s side, and they failed to catch it.
Mansa exclaimed, "Boss Shen is truly incredible!"
She made no secret of her admiration and told Qiao Xi, "Xixi, your boyfriend is amazing!"
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and smiled modestly, "Teacher Qin is also very talented, Teacher Qin, it’s your serve next."
Qin Lang tossed the ball with a smirk, "Alright, I’ll serve! Let’s make it hard for them to catch this one!"
However, he got the direction wrong, and his serve flew out of bounds, not even making it across the net.
Qin Lang gave an embarrassed laugh, "My bad."
Now it was Xiao Nai’s turn to serve.
He eagerly proclaimed, "Here I come! Are you all ready? I will take control of the game today!"
Zhu Zhu teased him, "Honey, stop talking, I’m afraid you’ll jinx it."
Xiao Nai didn’t believe he could be that bad.
He was full of energy, "Here I really come!"
Xiao Nai threw the ball up, with everyone ready to receive, only for him to feint.
Zhu Zhu laughed in annoyance, "Xiao Nai, you’re so annoying!"
Xiao Nai justified, "It’s strategy!"
As his words ended, Xiao Nai then tossed the ball up and jumped up after it.
The volleyball slammed into the net, similar to Qin Lang’s serve.
Xiao Nai faced an embarrassing flop.
His disbelief was evident.
This made everyone burst into laughter, with Zhu Zhu’s laughter the loudest.
"HA HA HA, I knew it! You couldn’t get the ball over, you really can’t do anything but dance."
Zhu Zhu laughed heartily.
Xiao Nai wasn’t embarrassed, "That’s because I’m not in the same team as you, wife; if we were, I guarantee we’d win."
Zhu Zhu: "I don’t believe your guarantee. Come on, Boss Shen, serve and aim at Xiao Nai!"
Feeling his wife’s love fading, what should he do?
Shen Dang tilted his head towards Qiao Xi, "Xixi, do you want to serve?"
Qiao Xi shook her head with a smile, "Not now, today it’s your chance to shine."
Shen Dang ruffled her hair.
The next second, Qiao Xi’s expression immediately turned to disgust—he had dirty hands, yet he dared to touch her hair!
This expressive moment from Qiao Xi was perfectly captured by the photographer.
As the Goddess of Divine Beauty, her emoticons would surely be featured on the show.
After a spirited volleyball match, everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
All five guest couples returned to the homestay.
They didn’t need to cook for lunch, as it was prepared by the production team.
Upon returning, the long dining table was already filled with their lunch.
Su Tutu exclaimed, "Wow, look at all the delicious food."
Qiao Xi smiled, "Everyone can go wash up and eat now."
