Chapter 4190: The Other Side 159

“Er… if it had been purely a defeat, that would’ve been fine.” Linxi said awkwardly, “I was able to catch the ball, but… the force was too strong. If I had insisted on catching it, then… There’s a burning pain in my wrist.”

“…” Chu He looked puzzled. She looked across again.

Youyou and Lisa were standing there looking back at them. Both children were young, one was a girl. The boy was no older than Linxi. She shifted her gaze over to Lisa. She had never seen the girl before, but the child was thin and frail.

Chu He did not believe him. “No way! You actually lost to them? One is younger than you, and the other is a girl! She’s so thin, how would she have such strength?”

Baby Chu grew anxious. “It’s true! She’s strong. She’s so strong. I saw her in the tank top earlier on. Don’t be deceived by how thin she looks! She’s hiding muscles!”

Linxi was indignant. After all, as a boy, it was embarrassing to be defeated by a girl. But, like it or not, that was the truth.

Lisa didn’t like to talk, but any time she jumped to perform a spike, one would inevitably worry that she might accidentally burst the volleyball. Baby Chu caught her ball once and played in fear afterwards. He hadn’t dared to catch it again.

Linxi was not one to admit defeat, so whenever Lisa returned the ball, he would bite the bullet and receive it even though he knew she was strong.

Eventually, his wrists were trembling so badly that he couldn’t possibly play anymore.

Lisa started to sense that Linxi wouldn’t be able to catch her returns. She also found it boring and rather disappointing, so she said she didn’t wish to continue with the game. However, they were in the middle of a match and the outcome had not been decided yet. Linxi refused to admit defeat and insisted on continuing.

Lisa was rather amused. She asked in return, “Are you able to keep fighting?”

The boy bit down on his lip in silence. It was at this point that Gu Jinglian and Chu He turned up.

Honestly… He was likely not able to continue the fight. His wrist would swell for sure, if he played on. But he didn’t want to lose out to a girl.

He was a boy. Lisa was a girl.

It would have been one thing if he had lost to Youyou, but he simply could not accept being defeated by Lisa!

Standing across from him, Lisa rubbed her hair in frustration. “Honestly,” she said in all seriousness, “I admit defeat. We can’t continue this fight. You’re hurt.”

So Lisa tossed the volleyball aside and stretched for a bit. She had only expended about a third of her energy for the game, but apparently, it was too much for these two kids.

Most people with great physical strength find it hard to control their strength even if they were to deliberately hold back. But for Lisa, she had been careful enough. She even had the idea that both Linxi and Baby Chu were like fragile glass dolls, and they would both shatter if she were not careful.

Linxi was somewhat indignant. He pursed his lips and looked unhappy.

Chu He was curious.

How was it that… Exactly how much force had been used that even Linxi was injured?

She stepped forward suddenly and smiled as she looked at Lisa’s back view. “Why don’t we play against each other?”

Lisa snapped out of her daze and turned to her in surprise. “Why?”

“I would like to see how strong you really are.”

The corners of the girl’s lips faltered upon hearing this.

Chu He said quickly, “Don’t worry. I just want to experience it, I’m not out to take revenge or anything…”

“Alright then…” Lisa had no objection and turned to glance at Youyou.
