Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 138

Gu Jialing and Xu Shou both looked at Xie Jingyuan.

Xie Jingyuan explained, “Watching the game from an open area is more fun, so we won’t go.”

Grandma Tao: “That’s right, young people should be lively. I’m old, otherwise I would sit outside.”

She wanted her grandson to watch the game in the open, as she didn’t want him to listen to Qiao Lili’s eccentricities, so both sides should watch separately.

Xie Rong smiled with no intention to force anyone.

The Xie family arrived first. Su Mingan and Tang Shiwei were going to the airport to pick up their relatives from Jiangcheng. They arrived relatively late, but eighteen relatives walked over in a mighty manner, with great momentum.

Gu Jialing originally envied Su Miaomiao for having parents who love her, but when he saw so many relatives, he became even more sour. With that many people, Su Miaomiao would receive so many red envelopes (new year money) every year.

On the relative side, Tang Yan held Grandma Su’s arm, pointed at Xie Jingyuan and said, “That’s Miaomiao’s boyfriend, Xie Jingyuan!”

The “love relationship” between Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan had long been spread among the relatives of both parties.

Grandma Su wore her reading glasses and looked at Xie Jingyuan with a smile. The more she looked at him, the more pleasing he looked in her eyes.

Before the group of relatives came over, Gu Jialing approached Xu Shou, touched his arm and said, “Why do I feel that they are looking at the Taoist master with strange eyes?”

The well-informed Xu Shou felt aggrieved for the Taoist master in his heart.

A good Taoist master, because of being entangled by Su Miaomiao, was judged critically by those mortals as their prospective son-in-law.

“Uncle, aunt, Miaomiao is preparing for the competition, so she let us pick you up,” Xie Jingyuan politely explained when the two sides met.

Tang Shiwei: “Well, I’m sorry for the trouble.”

As she said that, Tang Shiwei took Xie Jingyuan’s arm and introduced him to the relatives. As for Xu Shou and Gu Jialing, although she also wanted to introduce them, they were not the main attraction.

Grandpa Su: “I heard that you are doing two majors. Young people are amazing.”

Grandpa Su: “The young man looks good, our Miaomiao really has a good eye.”

Grandma Su: “Miaomiao has a good eye, and Jing Yuan has an even better eye!”

Grandma Su: “That’s right. Our Miaomiao is beautiful and good at playing tennis. You can’t find anyone like her in the whole country.”

Xu Shou: “…”
Gu Jialing: “…”

It was bustling, so the three college students sent everyone to the box, and then left first.

Gu Jialing wiped his sweat while walking, “It’s better to be in the woods, these humans are noisier than birds.”

Xu Shou was also very thankful that the Xu family did not have many relatives, and he had strengthened his singleness.

He also persuaded Xie Jingyuan in a low voice, “Taoist Master, you’d better separate yourself from Su Miaomiao as soon as possible.”

If the relatives continued to misunderstand like that, the Taoist master would have to marry Su Miaomiao in the future. If not, those enthusiastic people would be fierce to him in the future.

Xie Jingyuan didn’t say anything.

“Hey, why did you come late? The game is about to start!”

The eight tickets Su Miaomiao had were consecutive numbers, so Zhou Hang’s good buddy and her three roommates were all there.

Gu Jialing sighed, “We were entertaining her relatives.”

Zhao Lu looked behind them, “Aren’t they sitting here?”

Athletes probably wouldn’t get too many tickets, they got free ones. If Su Miaomiao’s relatives had to pay for tickets themselves, that would be embarrassing.

Gu Jialing: “They are in a private box.”

Zhao Lu: “…”

Zhou Hang was not surprised to hear that. Tang Yan told him how powerful Xie Jingyuan’s father was.

Xie Jingyuan sat in the middle seat, looking toward the arena. At that moment, Su Miaomiao and the foreign veteran entered the arena, walking side by side, chatting happily.

She had always been a top student. Since she decided to take the road of competition, Xie Jingyuan also specially strengthened her vocabulary expansion.

Under the anticipation of more than ten thousand spectators, the first game began.

Zhao Lu stared at Su Miaomiao’s running figure obsessively, “Have you noticed that Miaomiao always wears her diamond hair tie every time she competes?”

Chen Ling: “Our Miaomiao is rich!”

Zhu Xingzhu asked Gu Jialing, “Miaomiao is usually very low-key, but she wears that diamond hair tie during competitions. Is there any special meaning? Lucky hair tie or something?”

Gu Jialing: “She, keeping a low profile? She’s already saved a safe full of jewelry, and she doesn’t usually wear it because she’s afraid of losing it.”

The three roommates: “…”

The life of the school beauty really exceeded their imagination.

In the first game, Su Miaomiao lost 1-6.

The good friends in the spectator seats all had serious expressions, except for Xie Jingyuan who still had that cold expression that hardly changed.

When the second game was 2-5, Zhao Lu secretly wiped away tears several times.

She knew that it was normal to win or lose, and Su Miaomiao was just eighteen years old, and it was not shameful to lose to a veteran in her thirties, but she was really sitting there and watching Su Miaomiao fight every time with her own eyes. She really couldn’t stand the feeling of powerlessness when she tried so hard but missed the ball.

At the beginning of a new round, Gu Jialing legs began to shake.

Xu Shou frowned and knocked him hard.

It was the first time for Gu Jialing to visit Su Miaomiao’s arena in person. At the critical moment, he was so nervous that he couldn’t control himself.

Xu Shou knocked a few times but it didn’t work, so he ignored him, frowned and continued to pay attention to Su Miaomiao.

But just when the entire audience believed that the foreign veteran would easily win the second game, Su Miaomiao started to catch up.

2-5, 3-5, 4-5, 5-5!

After a few long rounds of stalemate, Su Miaomiao successfully overtook and won the second round.

The domestic audience stood up and applauded. On the field, Su Miaomiao was sweating sitting next to Sister Fang to rest.
