I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

"I have another sports T-shirt that I was going to give to my dad. Since it's such a coincidence, you can wear it. I'll buy another one later." Gu Yuqing found another T-shirt and tossed it to him.

The short-sleeved shirt and shorts felt brand new to the touch, and even had the smell of freshly made clothes.

Wu Qiutong chuckled to herself from the side.

Gu Yuqing's father is almost sixty years old, why would he still exercise?

Besides, why would she wear men's shorts? Given Gu Yuqing's strict attitude towards her image, she would never wear men's shorts even if you beat her to death.

This outfit was clearly something she had someone buy this morning and put in her office.

She had already planned to have Chen Ya play tennis, and had even prepared his clothes.

I wonder what other tricks this guy has up his sleeve.

Both of them changed into athletic shorts. They changed in shifts. First, Chen Ya went out to wait while Gu Yuqing and Wu Qiutong changed inside. Then, Chen Ya changed inside while the two girls waited outside.

When Chen Ya changed his clothes and went out, he clearly felt that Gu Yuqing and Wu Qiutong's eyes lit up.

This outfit is a fitted style and fits very well. Chen Ya usually exercises regularly, so her figure is in great shape, and wearing sportswear makes her figure even more prominent.

The two girls stared for a while, their throats bobbing, before Chen Ya waved his hand, bringing them back to their senses. They then took the elevator downstairs together.

Once they were on the tennis court downstairs, the two girls finally started to act normally.

Gu Yuqing swung her racket twice, then smiled and asked across the net, "You should know the rules of tennis, right?"

"It's similar to ping-pong, I think it's like a ping-pong ball on the ground," Chen Ya said, carrying his paddle.

"Hmm, more or less," Gu Yuqing said. "However, the hitting area and marking lines are a bit different, and the scoring is also different. Let's play one game to try it out. Qiutong, you can help with the scoring and picking up the balls."

Wu Qiutong said with a long face, "I'm Qiutong, not a caddy. I'm not going to run around picking up balls."

Gu Yuqing certainly didn't intend for her to be a caddie; what she said earlier was just a pun.

As she explained, she served a round, making the basic rules of tennis clear to Chen Ya.

While listening attentively, Chen Ya also observed Gu Yuqing's movements and tried to imitate them in his mind in preparation for the upcoming official competition.

Unfortunately, because the game was being played while she was explaining, Gu Yuqing was clearly not taking it seriously. She easily caught and returned all the balls that Chen Ya tried so hard to return.

"Okay, that's about it. Let's start now. Playing 5 rounds is too tiring, so let's play 3 rounds instead."

Gu Yuqing tossed the ball over and said, "I'll let you serve first."

Chen Ya closed his eyes and took three deep breaths.

He has pretty good athletic ability, but he has never been exposed to tennis before and doesn't even know the correct way to generate power.

I can only rely on my memory and imitate the postures of the athletes in the tennis matches I've occasionally glanced at.

"boom!"

Gu Yuqing's eyes lit up, and she said, "Good shot, well served!"

Then, as if wielding a samurai sword, she slapped the ball with her backhand, and the bright yellow tennis ball flew past Chen Ya at an extremely low angle.

"Inbounds, 15 points." Wu Qiutong, standing to the side, faithfully tallied the score.

Chen Ya turned to look at Gu Yuqing, who was looking at him with a smug expression.

Even though Chen Ya had never played tennis before, he could tell that this woman was very strong.

And she didn't hold back at all.

Chapter 308 is all about the smell of hormones.

Strength is like underwear; it's often unknown until it's used, making it difficult to know just how big the gap is.

Only when you truly engage in a head-to-head battle can you see the gap between you.

That's exactly how Chen Ya feels right now.

No one had ever told him that tennis could be played like this.

Gu Yuqing moved with light steps and elegant posture. Her shapely legs under her short skirt seemed to glow in the sunlight, and her chest rippled with waves.

But the ball she hit came with a strong gust of wind, making my cheek hurt.

Either the angle is too tricky to catch, or even if you do catch it, the ball is spinning and you don't know where it will bounce off to, making it impossible to control the landing point.

Holding a tennis racket, Gu Yuqing, who had previously been a busty rich woman, now stood like an ancient god, seemingly suspended in space on the tennis court.

This was the first time in Chen Ya's history that he had stood in a position of being completely overwhelmed and felt the gap in strength.

"You're too slow. Don't even mention you can't outrun a girl like me!"

"You hit the ball too softly! Didn't you eat?"

"Put in more force! I like receiving balls with a lot of force!"

Wearing a white baseball cap, Gu Yuqing kept giggling, her cute appearance masking a string of malicious words.

In a sense, if they were truly defeated, it wouldn't be a big deal; it would simply mean there was a difference in strength.

Chen Ya, who had never touched a tennis racket since birth, could understandably lose to Gu Yuqing.

The strong should trample on the weak, and when their strength grows, they will win back.

But insulting words are like nails driven into a plank; even if you remove the nails later, a deep hole will remain in the plank.

At this moment, Gu Yuqing's boundless humiliation was the real culprit that caused his mental state to collapse.

However, Chen Ya did not resent this woman whose mind was as narrow as a needlepoint.

What he resented was: why are there no tennis skills in the system?

Why does the life achievement system only include achievements like entrepreneurs and writers, and not achievements like tennis players?

Why are there no tennis-related skills listed among the achievements of entrepreneurs?

Did the system not consider the possibility that entrepreneurs might resolve business disputes directly through a tennis match?

Of all the skills in the system, the only ones that are related to tennis are "Reaction Speed" and "Agility" from the [Ace Spy] achievement.

The points I currently have are only enough to upgrade these two skills to the Super level.

In tennis, having good reflexes and skills alone is definitely not enough to beat a true tennis master.

Because the opponent also has reaction speed, skills, and even more importantly, tactics and experience.

Upgrading doesn't guarantee a win, but not upgrading guarantees a win.

After losing three points in a row, Chen Ya gritted his teeth and chose to add points.

[Ding! Your reaction speed has been boosted; you are now at "Super Reaction Speed"!]

[Ding! Your agility has been upgraded; you are now "Super Agile"!]

In that instant, the scenery around Chen Ya's vision seemed to accelerate, with the light constantly stretching, rotating, and distorting.

My wrists, ankles, and every joint in my body felt cool and tingly, as if a slight voltage had passed through them.

Then, my body felt lighter, the scenery in my field of vision became clearer, and my observation skills seemed to have improved significantly.

Previously unnoticed, the movements of sparrows hopping about on the treetops, Gu Yuqing's swaying hips and her swaying skirt, all became clearer.

Chen Ya's gaze was focused on the yellow tennis ball in his hand. The rough texture of the tennis ball, the plastic-wrapped tennis racket shaft, and the hard feel of it in his hand all gave him a sense of familiarity.

It was as if he suddenly had experience with tossing the ball and dribbling the racket for a long time, and the racket and tennis ball suddenly became a perfect match for his body.

He tossed the tennis ball high into the air, then raised his racket—

"what?"

Gu Yuqing let out a soft gasp of surprise, as if she were witnessing something unbelievable.

Then, to her surprise, the small tennis ball came flying towards her with a gust of wind.

Surprised as she was, the swinging motion had long since become her instinct. She quickly swung her racket to intercept, and the tennis ball, carrying spin, flew high into the air, sliding towards Chen Ya's half of the court.

Wu Qiutong, who was keeping score, first opened her mouth wide, then faithfully reported the score:

"Out of bounds, 15 to 45."

She turned to Gu Yuqing and said, "What, are you going to let me win? You don't seem like such a polite person."

Gu Yuqing tucked her hair behind her ear: "I was just a little distracted for a moment. It's okay, he won't win a single point from here on out."

This time it was Gu Yuqing's turn to serve. The ball, which was originally too fast for Chen Ya to see, now seemed to be flying unusually slowly in his line of sight.

After Chen Ya returned the ball with his quick reflexes, Gu Yuqing let out a soft "Eh."

Then, she half-squatted down, gripped the racket with both hands, and became truly serious.

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

……

The two exchanged blows for five or six rounds, until Gu Yuqing, relying on her seasoned experience, used her skillful maneuvers to pull the ball left and right, causing Chen Ya to lose a point.

"Gu Yuqing won a small round," Wu Qiutong announced with a grin.

Gu Yuqing put down her racket and stretched her shoulders, saying, "I was suddenly startled by him just now. If I were to get serious, he wouldn't get a single point."

Wu Qiutong laughed and said, "With your skill level, playing against beginners is like beating up kids. You're actually taking it seriously? People will laugh if they hear about it."

Gu Yuqing retorted angrily, "What do you know? Men do react faster, you know."

Chen Ya remained calm and said, "Let's try again."

In the second game, Chen Ya's performance was significantly better than in the first game.

Gu Yuqing stopped chatting, grabbed her racket, and stared intently at Chen Ya, completely focused on the game.

Unfortunately, Chen Ya lost this game by one point.

In the third game, the score remained very close, with neither side able to gain the upper hand. In the end, Gu Yuqing, due to her weaker stamina than Chen Ya, made a mistake during a series of rallies, allowing Chen Ya to surpass her and then suffer a crushing defeat.

The final score was that Gu Yuqing won two out of three games, while Chen Ya only won one, giving Gu Yuqing the final victory.

Despite failing the challenge, Chen Ya's expression remained relatively relaxed.

The victory in the third game was just a fluke; it was entirely due to Gu Yuqing's slightly broken mentality in the third game.

If she really gives it her all and adjusts her mindset, even if the match is changed to a five-game format, he still definitely won't be able to beat the experienced Gu Yuqing.

After all, tennis is not that simple.

As for the loss of 1 million yuan after the mission failed, and the prospect of Gu Yuqing withdrawing her investment, he remained calm.

Since we've already lost, we'll figure out a solution later.

Compared to Chen Ya's composure, Gu Yuqing was extremely unsettled.

Her whole face turned black.

Gu Yuqing was quite confident in her tennis skills. She would feel ashamed even if she lost to Chen Ya by a single point, let alone a game.

Chen Ya is a complete novice who has just started playing the racket!

A 5.0 level tennis player is equivalent to a semi-professional athlete, while an Olympic champion is only at the 7.0 level.

She, Gu Yuqing, actually lost to a novice in tennis. Wouldn't she be laughed to death if word got out?

Wu Qiutong shook her head, clicking her tongue in amazement, "Unbelievable! The tennis princess actually lost a game to someone who was playing tennis for the first time. I wonder what Cai Zhenyi's expression would be if he knew this..."

"What does this have to do with him?"

Seeing that Gu Yuqing looked a little angry, Wu Qiutong immediately shut her mouth.

Gu Yuqing walked to the net and questioned, "Hey, have you really never played tennis before?"

Chen Ya shook his head: "No. I've never even touched a tennis racket before."

"Really? You're not pretending to be weak to take advantage of others, are you?"

Chen Ya smiled wryly: "I didn't manage to eat you, you tiger."

After saying that, Chen Ya spread his hands and said, "You are indeed better at tennis. If you're willing to accept defeat, let's go terminate our contract."
