When Jingxuan and Xiao Ri were watching at the badminton court, a male classmate noticed their arrival and warmly came over to greet them. The boy, named Tang Zhenglu, wore glasses and had a studious look, appearing somewhat nerdy.
Tang Zhenglu smiled and explained to Jingxuan and Xiao Ri, "Hi, we are currently practicing flat drives, which is a very important skill in badminton." His voice was filled with enthusiasm and pride for badminton.
Jingxuan and Xiao Ri are not very familiar with badminton. After hearing Tang Zhenglu's explanation, they could only nod in understanding, but in reality, they were not very clear about what a flat defensive shot really is. The two exchanged a pensive look and smiled as they agreed.
Jingxuan tried to ask a question: "So, what exactly is the motion of a flat defensive shot?" She hoped to gain a better understanding from Tang Zhenglu.
Tang Zhenglu immediately appeared more excited, and he began passionately explaining the essentials of the flat backhand stroke, even demonstrating it several times to help them better understand. Jingxuan and Xiao Ri observed his movements seriously, trying to learn and understand the essence of badminton from it.
Jingxuan and Xiao Ri stood to the side, observing Tang Zhenglu's demonstration. Tang Zhenglu spoke quickly during his explanation, and due to shyness, his speech seemed somewhat unclear. When he attempted to demonstrate the flat backhand stroke, his gestures and footwork appeared somewhat clumsy, not as smooth and natural as the captain they had just seen.
Jingxuan and Xiao Ri exchanged a subtle glance, although they noticed that Tang Zhenglu's actions were quite different from the captain's performance, they didn't want to make Tang Zhenglu feel embarrassed or uncomfortable, so they chose to politely listen.
Xiao Ri nodded slightly, pretending to understand, and said, "Oh, I see, thank you for your explanation and demonstration." Her voice carried friendliness, but also some uncertainty.
Jingxuan also expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Zhenglu, we have a better understanding now." Her words were full of encouragement and support, even though both of them still felt a bit confused about the details of this technique.
Tang Zhenglu looked somewhat relieved, showing a satisfied smile. Then he continued to focus on his own practice, while Jingxuan and Xiao Ri turned to the badminton court, beginning to observe other team members' training and movements more carefully.
Jingxuan and Xiao Ri stood in line, feeling a bit awkward as they tried to learn some badminton skills from the actions of their senior on the court. Just then, a senior named Degang, who appeared to be honest and simple, walked over. His feet had a somewhat frog-like posture, and he walked a bit clumsily, but he firmly held a badminton racket in his hand, moving slowly but steadily.
Jingxuan and Xiao Ri were not unfamiliar with Degang. They first met him at the pre-enrollment freshman tea party. At that time, Degang left a deep impression on them because his kindness and enthusiasm made people feel very comfortable.
Upon seeing Degang approaching, Jingxuan and Xiao Ri's faces lit up with smiles. Jingxuan greeted him first, "Hey Degang, long time no see. How have you been lately?"
Degang responded with a friendly smile, "Hi Jingxuan, Xiao Ri, I'm doing well, thank you. Are you both here at the XY University today?"
Xiao Ri nodded, "Yes, we wanted to come and take a look, maybe even join."
Degang's smile became even brighter as he said, "That's great, it would be wonderful to have you join. If there's anything you need help with, just let us know."
When DeGan enthusiastically shares badminton-related matters, Jingxuan and Xiao Ri can both feel his passion. He seems very eager for them to quickly integrate into the badminton team. DeGan speaks with his mouth wide open, and with his expressions and movements, he looks both serious and a bit comical, causing Jingxuan and Xiao Ri to occasionally smile involuntarily.
DeGan's enthusiasm sometimes makes the atmosphere a bit awkward, but it also gives a warm feeling. He explains the basic techniques of badminton, the rules of the game, and even talks about the team's history and some interesting internal stories.
Jingxuan and Xiao Ri felt a bit awkward in the situation, but they felt welcomed by DeGan's sincerity and enthusiasm. They listened to DeGan while also observing the badminton match, trying to learn and understand more from it.
"DeGan is really passionate," Jingxuan whispered to Xiao Ri.
Xiao Ri nodded in agreement, "Yes, he does seem very friendly. Maybe joining the badminton team would be a good choice after all."
Soon, it was time for the practice team to rotate, and Xiao Ri let Jingxuan go first. Jingxuan walked onto the court slowly, feeling a bit nervous. Holding her racket, she tried to adjust her breathing and mindset. Xiao Ri encouraged her from the sidelines, saying, "Relax, you've got this!" Jingxuan nodded, took a deep breath, and prepared to face the challenge.
The senior stood on the opposite side, preparing to serve, his posture professional and composed. As the ball flew towards her, Jingxuan focused intently, gripping her racket tightly, ready to strike back.
The ball flew towards Jingxuan with a swift and direct trajectory. She reacted quickly, swinging with force, only to realize that her calculation was off as the racket did not make contact with the ball. Jingxuan stood somewhat embarrassed in place, realizing that she had completely missed the ball with her swing just now.
On the sidelines, Xiao Ri couldn't help but chuckle softly at the scene, but her laughter carried encouragement: "It's okay, Jingxuan, try again!"
The senior student also smiled, seemingly unsurprised by Jingxuan's first attempt. He encouraged, "It's okay, you'll get better with practice, try again."
Jingxuan took a deep breath, adjusted her stance and grip, and prepared to receive the next serve. The senior player served again, and this time she was more focused. As the ball flew over the net, she swung her racket in time and finally made contact with the ball. Although the strength and direction were not ideal, at least she had made progress.
"Look, you did it!" exclaimed Xiao Ri excitedly. A satisfied smile appeared on Jingxuan's face. She realized that badminton was not easy to pick up, but she had the desire and determination to improve.
