Youyou’s lips twitched for a moment. He could now vaguely sense a hint of gunpowder in what should have been a fun volleyball game.
Lisa said to him, “Stand to the side. I’ll have a game with her.”
“Well…” Little Yichen muttered in frustration, is there really a point to this match?
No matter who ended up winning, it would be a rather dishonorable win wouldn’t it?
Lisa, however, was fine with it. If Chu He were to win, she’d end up feeling as though she had stooped to the level of a child. But if she were to lose, it would be humiliating.
Linxi hesitated as well, and finally said, “Forget it, I admit defeat!”
“Please don’t misunderstand.” Chu He smiled as she walked over to Linxi. She picked up the volleyball from the ground and lightly brushed the sand off it. “I just want to see how strong a girl she is, to have injured a boy’s hand.”
Lisa replied expressionlessly, “He was the one who wanted to continue playing. I saw he was hurt and didn’t want to play anymore, but he refused to admit defeat.”
Lisa had a competitive streak in her, especially if the situation was in her favor, there was no way she would admit defeat unless she was utterly convinced.
“Then, can I have a go at it?” Chu He ventured to ask.
In a daze, Lisa found the face before her strangely familiar.
Vermilion Bird?
A name skittered through her mind.
There was someone by the name of Vermillion Bird in the Hurricane Group, so was there one in Interpol previously. One was the Black Vermilion Bird, and the other was the White Vermilion Bird. Everyone used this to distinguish between the two.
Lisa was a junior and had never met White Vermilion Bird in-person, but she remembered seeing a picture of her, smiling and full of self-confidence.
She looked exactly like this woman before her now.
She couldn’t help feeling suspicious.
She was in a daze when Chu He reminded her, “Are you ready?”
Lisa reacted instantly, taking half a step back and bending her body forward slightly, instantly returning to her “fight” stance.
Chu He served. She held the volleyball high, then performed a standard serve. The volleyball flew over the railing.
Reacting nimbly, Lisa sprang forward like a cat, using her considerable bounce to knock the volleyball back.
A special volleyball match had begun.
Mu Yazhe and Yun Shishi were returning from their walk along the beach when they stumbled upon this scene. Behind them, Hua Jin clearly saw it too.
The actor had offered to take Natalia down to the beach, and the couple had followed behind to go for a walk. Little Yichen and Youyou, on the other hand, were still in bed. Lisa had offered to stay behind to look after Yueyao, so the four of them had gone for a walk along the beach.
They were just returning after their stroll when they saw this scene. Everyone felt a little curious.
Yun Shishi was surprised. “What are they doing, exactly?”
“Playing volleyball.”
“But…”
Yun Shishi and Hua Jin stared blankly at the two players, who were engaged in a heated match. The sound of them hitting the ball was astonishing.
“Volleyball is too scary!”
Mu Yazhe found it interesting and insisted, “Let’s go take a look!”
As the group moved to the side, Little Yichen spotted them. Mu Yazhe motioned for him to keep silent, then observed the game quietly from the side.
Chu He and Lisa fought to a tie.
One was a former Interpol officer. The other was the youngest mercenary in Mercenary Paradise. Both were terrifyingly strong.
Especially Chu He, who was now horrified!
