Love is as simple as badminton.

In Chapter 12, the ratio of our H2H was 4:3, but no matter how you look at it, I had the advantage!

As an A-level discipline, the sociology program at the University of Hong Kong has undergone several reforms, highlighting an increasingly pragmatic approach.

In other words, plans cannot simply be written on paper; they must be put into practice.

Moreover, they must all have a legitimate purpose and not be mere formalities.

Guided by this approach, the total number of class hours in the Department of Social Sciences is very streamlined, almost the fewest in the entire university; but all of them are "hard courses" that require serious study, and there are almost no easy courses that one can slack off on.

In addition, there is a series of practical research projects outside the classroom, which aim to get students out of their desks and understand the real society.

"This social practice requires participation in at least two clubs and diligent work during the club period. Not only does it require official stamps, but it also involves real-time supervision by a teacher. It must be completed during the first and second years of university."

Zhao Hao summarized the key points for the three of them.

"I just checked. There are a lot of classes in the second semester of freshman year, and the second year is basically full, with little time for long-term practical activities."

We need to make the most of the window of opportunity during the first semester when there are fewer classes, otherwise we'll have to make up for it in the second semester of our senior year.

"When graduation is approaching, I'll have to work on my thesis, and if I don't pursue a master's degree, I'll have to find a job, which will probably be even more stressful."

"agree."

Jin Xin seemed thoughtful. "Let's do it together, but which clubs should we join?"

Lin Xiang nodded silently; this was exactly what he wanted to say.

Although these activities are not group projects, working together is better than going it alone, mainly because it saves time.

Of course, it also depends on who he's with. If it's Xu Yue, he'll definitely consider it carefully...

"I think the Badminton Association is capable."

Zhao Hao's gaze fell on Lin Xiang.

"Since Shi is in our direct department, it shouldn't be a problem for her to mentor us. We can treat her to a meal to thank her later."

The Badminton Association's practice is relatively simple, mainly involving court maintenance or helping to organize some activities, unlike some business or management practices that are difficult to complete.

The key point is that Lin Xiang and I are quite familiar with this area, so if you two have any questions, we can help you out. What do you all think?

"I think Teacher Zhao is right."

"I'm looking at Old Zhao's leather drum."

"Xu Yue, don't make me curse at you."

"What about the second club?"

Jin Xin continued to ask: "The practical requirements are to participate in two clubs, but it seems that the remaining clubs are not easy to get into."

"How about joining our board game club? Let's steam some games together! Come on, Lao Jin?"

"Thank you, Teacher Xu. You should steam it yourself."

"No rush, there's still some time before clubs start recruiting."

Zhao Hao told everyone to calm down, "Let me do more research for you, and try to get the four of us into the second club as well."

"Yes, thank you."

"Teacher Zhao is awesome."

"Old Zhao, I love you, Yao Yao~"

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Zhao Hao and Xu Yue started flirting again, filling the dormitory with a familiar atmosphere that lessened the oppressive mood of losing the game.

Seeing this, Jin Xin breathed a sigh of relief, reopened his laptop, and silently typed on the keyboard, seemingly writing something.

Lin Xiang thought for a moment and then opened "Chang Qi Su Shi" in his WeChat list again.

Shoko Toyokawa: "Senior, I've finished planning for you. Please check if there are any time conflicts that need to be adjusted."

Shoko Toyokawa: "Document: Poetry Senior's Training Plan (doc)"

The senior student didn't reply immediately; she must have been busy.

Two or three minutes later, the other person's nickname changed to "Typing..."

Chang Chi Su Shi: "Wow! So efficient! /Thumbs up /Thumbs up"

Chang Qisu Shi: "Great job! The schedule is all set! Thanks for your hard work, junior!"

Shoko Toyokawa: "The main problem is that if the schedule is too tight, the effect won't be good."

Chang Chi Su Shi: "Indeed, indeed, the details! / Thumbs up!"

Lin Xiang glanced back at the other three who were busy with their own tasks, and hesitated for a moment.

Actually, he felt it would be more appropriate to ask Zhao Hao, but it didn't seem quite right... Oh well, he'd ask him himself.

Shoko Toyokawa: By the way, senior, do you know that our curriculum includes a social practice module?

Chang Qisu Shi: I know, I know! We were the first batch of guinea pigs, hahaha!

Chang Chi Su Shi: Is the junior looking for a suitable club or organization?

Shi Yuqi, as expected of a senior from the same department, immediately grasped the junior's predicament.

Shoko Toyokawa: Yes, my roommates and I are planning to choose the badminton association as our first club, but the second club is still pending. I would like to ask you for advice.

Changqi Sushi: Oh, I see~

Chang Qisu Shi: My second club back then was the Pet Association, but due to club reorganization, that club no longer exists.

Chang Qisu Shi: Don't worry, I'll ask some old acquaintances for you!

Shoko Toyokawa: Okay, thank you, senior.

Lin Xiang only noticed that it was already 10:15 after replying to the message, and frowned.

His bedtime is 10:30 PM, and his preparation time is 10:00 PM sharp. After the preparation time, he doesn't use electronic devices unless absolutely necessary. Today, he actually went over the time limit by a full fifteen minutes.

It was just asking my senior for academic advice, so it wasn't a non-essential factor. Besides, I watched the game today, so I can relax a bit.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiang relaxed his brow, gave one last reminder, and climbed into bed.

Shoko Toyokawa: Senior, remember to get some rest early so as not to affect tomorrow morning's training.

Chang Qisu: Received! Thank you for the reminder, Coach Lin!

……

Outside Yikunli, in Building 18 of Yuehuayuan, dormitory room 520 is on the 5th floor.

"I'm back!"

Shi Yuqi held the racket and tube between her right elbows, her phone in her left hand, her bunny slippers jingling with each step. Her neat ponytail from the daytime was now undone, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, making the curves of her face appear even more delicate.

"Um!?"

Jian Yueying, the roommate sitting near the door, raised her eyebrows and squinted her small eyes, making them appear even smaller.

She is the president of "Home of the Elderly," the organization that manages the campus cats at Xiangda University. Her expression at this moment bears a striking resemblance to the elderly figures that have gone viral online.

"How dare you, Kiki! You didn't even call me when you played ball!"

Without saying a word, she hugged the girl who had just entered and began to grope her.

"You played basketball behind my back today because my club had something going on. I don't even want to think about what will happen to you in the future!"

"Hahaha~ Have mercy, Yueyue~"

Shi Yuqi, tickled, raised her hands in surrender. "I swear to God, I absolutely didn't play ball just now! Look, I'm even wearing slippers!"

"Oh... wait, then why are you holding the racket?"

"I juggled the ball for half an hour, and then swung it a few times in the air to practice my power."

Is this really true?

"Really, really, I love you, Yueyue!"

"Alright, I'll believe you for now."

Jian Yueying released Shi Yuqi, her interest vanishing instantly, as if she had entered a state of sagehood.

The sophomores haven't officially started school yet, and on May 520th, only the two of them, who had returned to school early to work, huddled together for warmth.

"After a long day, why go to practice ball? What were you thinking? You could have used that time to play a game."

"Want to improve, huh? Hehe."

"There's no need for that. We're not joining a professional team; playing basketball is just a hobby. No matter how much we practice, there will always be someone who can beat us. Why make things harder for ourselves?"

"That makes sense, but I don't think it's entirely true."

Shi Yuqi put down her racket, the soft glow of the table lamp shimmering in her peach blossom eyes.

"Although playing ball is just a hobby, I get more and more interested in it every time my skill level improves."

At first, we couldn't even touch the ball, so didn't we also think badminton wasn't fun?

Later, we gradually learned to catch the ball and hit all sorts of shots, which made badminton more and more interesting.

Although this means temporarily leaving behind the immediate pleasure, the thought that a higher happiness lies ahead makes the process of spiritual practice itself very joyful!

"Sigh, truly outstanding people think differently. I'm just playing casually~"

Jian Yueying shrugged, then noticed something.

"But this kind of thing is hard to learn on your own, right? I remember you tried it before and found it wasn't very useful—so you're taking classes now?"

"Hehe, how can those other tutoring classes compare?"

Shi Yuqi proudly put her hands on her hips.

"My training involves one-on-one instruction from experts; it's tailor-made for me!"

"What expert... wait, could it be the junior who beat you up yesterday?"

"Yeah, yeah! Hehe. I called you this morning, but you said you weren't coming."

"Ha, making me get up at six is ​​worse than killing me..."

Jian Yueying stared at Shi Yuqi's upturned lips, her gaze suddenly becoming subtle.

"Isn't your junior from school handsome?"

"He's quite handsome, isn't he?"

Shi Yuqi answered instinctively, then paused for a moment before raising her fist.

"What do you mean 'mine'? And what does playing basketball have to do with being handsome! Yueyue, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you to a pulp next time!"

"Hahaha, so they're all your direct relatives, aren't they yours? I didn't ask anything wrong, you're the one who's feeling guilty!"

Although Jian Yueying had never met this junior before, it didn't stop her from enjoying the spectacle and stirring up trouble—girls are often better at this than boys.

"You think you can crush me? My win rate against yours is 4:3, but it's still clear that I have the advantage!"

"The past is the past, the present is the present. With the help of a master, taking you down in less than two weeks will be a piece of cake!"

"Interesting, Kiki actually issued a challenge?"

Jian Yueying extended the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger.

"See you at the badminton hall the weekend after next! The loser buys water!"
