Chapter 228 Won
Xu Xinyi keenly caught the subtle changes in the aura emanating from Lin Xuan. She gently tightened her grip on the exquisite golf club, a subtle hint of provocation in her eyes. "In that case, let's not delay any longer and officially begin, shall we?"
Chen Anhe smiled and gracefully performed a gentleman's salute, each movement revealing just the right amount of grace. "Of course, ladies first. Ms. Ye and Ms. Xu, please go ahead. Mr. Lin and I will follow."
There was a certain smoothness and sophistication in his words. When he turned to Lin Xuan, his eyes were filled with inquiry, "Mr. Lin, you wouldn't mind this arrangement, right?"
Lin Xuan raised his lips to a faint smile, his eyes deep: "Of course, ladies first, this is proper etiquette."
Chen Anhe's ease in interpersonal communication is truly admirable.
He seemed to be casually trying to please Ye Wanqing, but he didn't seem to be overly enthusiastic, so as not to lose his composure. At the same time, in front of Lin Xuan, he still maintained his calm demeanor, as if everything was under control.
However, as an equally astute man, how could Lin Xuan not see Chen Anhe's subtle intentions towards Ye Wanqing? A barely perceptible sharpness flashed in his eyes.
Ye Wanqing, wearing a simple yet elegant white sportswear, was the first to swing the ball.
Lin Xuan held a black umbrella, silently shielding her from the occasional sunlight. Not to be outdone, Chen Anhe gently raised the handle of his umbrella, providing shade for Xu Xinyi. Although he didn't have much affection for Xu Xinyi, he put on a flawless front.
Ye Wanqing hadn't played golf for a long time, so her skills were inevitably rusty, and she didn't get the ideal result on her first shot.
Xu Xinyi, standing by, uttered a soft, unspoken sound. Ye Wanqing could clearly hear the subtle sound. She didn't turn around, but simply adjusted her stance slightly, preparing for the second challenge.
She was well aware of her own skill level; this match wasn't about goals scored, but strokes. Over the eighteen holes, she and Lin Xuan each had their own roles: she would handle the first nine, and Lin Xuan the last. Ye Wanqing secretly set a goal, striving to keep her score under six strokes. Given Lin Xuan's skill, their chances of victory were quite good.
After some effort, Ye Wanqing finished the first nine holes with seven pars, and the total score was 2 strokes over par, that is, 38. Although it was not amazing, it was considered solid and just slightly lower than her expectations.
Xu Xinyi had originally thought Ye Wanqing would improve, but the result surprised her slightly. She smiled inwardly, but remained expressionless. She played the first few holes extremely well, even completing one hole in just two strokes. She ultimately finished the first nine holes with a score of -2, or 1.
The outcome would then depend on the performance of Lin Xuan and Chen Anhe. Chen Anhe politely let Lin Xuan hit the ball first. Without further ado, Lin Xuan simply picked up the club with a smooth and powerful movement.
On the first shot, the ball flew into the hole like an arrow, causing Chen Anhe to applaud and say, "It's truly amazing!"
Although the second shot was slightly off, Lin Xuan successfully put the ball into the hole with the third shot. His golf skills were indeed extraordinary. In the nine holes, he made two holes in one, caught three birdies, and even scored an albatross on the last hole.
Lin Xuan's total score was -7, meaning he completed nine holes in just 36 strokes at a par of 29. Such a result was clearly far beyond Chen Anhe's reach. While Chen Anhe was a decent golfer, he was only slightly better than Xu Xinyi, with a total score of -3.
In the end, Lin Xuan and Ye Wanqing's total score was -5, while Xu Xinyi and Chen Anhe's total score was -4. They were competing for the number of strokes, and the team with the fewest swings in 18 holes would win.
18洞的标准杆为72，林轩与叶晚晴的总成绩为-5，即挥杆67次。而许心怡与陈安和的总成绩为-4，即挥杆68次。叶晚晴与林轩以1杆之差险胜。
Ye Wanqing looked at Lin Xuan, her eyes gleaming with genuine gratitude. "Thank you." Her gratitude came from the heart, yet it was also tinged with a subtle cunning. She never easily forgave others' mistakes. Xu Xinyi had once used Lin Xuan to embarrass her, and today she was determined to make her feel the same way.
Chen Anhe seemed quite open-minded: "I'm willing to accept the loss. How do you want us to escape, Miss Ye?"
Ye Wanqing smiled slightly and turned her gaze to Xu Xinyi: "Well, Mr. Chen should ask Miss Xu. She knows best."
Xu Xinyi bit her lip lightly, her eyes filled with reluctance. "Just run around the court." She pointed to the wide court, and Chen Anhe immediately understood what she meant. "So, let's start now?"
This time, before Ye Wanqing could answer, Lin Xuan spoke first: "Well, let's start now."
Xu Xinyi looked at Ye Wanqing again, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, and then she began to run. The sunlight had become softer at this moment, and the breeze was blowing gently, bringing a hint of coolness.
Ye Wanqing, club in hand, quietly watched Xu Xinyi's receding figure. She had always held grudges, and Xu Xinyi's past actions were still fresh in her mind. Furthermore, Xu Xinyi had been challenging her limits frequently recently; today's round was merely the beginning of her counterattack.
Ye Wanqing maintained a calm silence, like a tranquil painting, while Lin Xuan beside her gently unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her. She then slowly turned her head, took the bottle of slightly cool water, gently opened the bottle cap, tilted her head back and took a sip, the cool feeling instantly spreading.
At this moment, her eyes caught sight of someone controlling a drone circling in the air not far away. Ye Wanqing couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a sly look flashing in her eyes. Then she turned to look at Lin Xuan, a playful smile on her lips. "Boss Lin, I'm going to cause some trouble for them. How about that?"
When Lin Xuan heard this, a hint of interest seemed to flash in his eyes. He leaned forward slightly and asked, "Oh? How are you going to cause trouble?"
Ye Wanqing didn't answer directly. Instead, she took another sip of water, then slowly tightened the cap on the bottle and walked towards the group of people operating the drones. Her steps were light and graceful, as if she were walking on the clouds.
As they got closer, they saw that it was Lin Yanrong and her friends who were gathered together. There were both men and women in the crowd, and when they saw Ye Wanqing approaching, several of the boys couldn't help but glance over, their eyes filled with curiosity and admiration.
Lin Yanrong saw Lin Xuan at a glance and immediately changed the subject, calling him affectionately, "Brother."
Lin Xuan simply responded indifferently, his expression somewhat distant and cold. Seeing this, Lin Yanrong turned her attention to Ye Wanqing and politely greeted her, "Miss Ye."
Ye Wanqing smiled and nodded in response, her voice gentle and appropriate: "Ms. Lin."
After saying that, she walked straight to the boy who was operating the drone with a bright smile on her face: "Hello."
The boy looked young, perhaps in his early twenties, with a youthful and immature look in his eyes. He shyly replied, "Hello."
Faced with Ye Wanqing's charm, the boy's ears unconsciously turned red. Ye Wanqing pointed at the drone in the sky and asked with a hint of curiosity: "Is this your drone?"
"Yes." The boy answered nervously, but seeing Ye Wanqing's bright smile, he mustered up his courage and handed the remote control to her: "Do you want to try it?"
This action was obviously inappropriate in Lin Xuan's eyes. He immediately stepped forward and stood between Ye Wanqing and the boy, his tone unquestionable: "I'll have someone send you a new one."
"It's too late." Ye Wanqing shook her head slightly and took the drone from the boy's hand directly, with a bit of urgency in her eyes: "Can you sell this drone to me? If you still need it later, I can have someone send you a new one. I need it urgently now, so I can only ask you this directly."
The boy looked at his friends, clearly feeling a bit embarrassed. They were in the process of filming a video of their trip, and if the drone was taken away, their plans would be disrupted.
Seeing this, Ye Wanqing turned to Lin Xuan and asked in a questioning tone, "How long will it take for it to be delivered?"
"Within fifteen minutes." Lin Xuan gave an affirmative answer.
Ye Wanqing looked at the boy again, with a pleading look in her eyes: "Can I?"
Lin Xuan looked directly at Lin Yanrong, his tone carrying a bit of authority: "Are you in a hurry to use it?"
"It's not particularly urgent." Lin Yanrong didn't dare to look directly into Lin Xuan's eyes. They just wanted to take a video as a souvenir. Since Lin Xuan asked this, she naturally didn't dare to say that she was in a hurry.
When others saw that Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan seemed to really need the drone, some began to say that they could wait for a while.
The drone's owner hesitated for a moment, but ultimately agreed to Ye Wanqing's request. He looked at the remote control in his hand with some reluctance, but still handed it to Ye Wanqing: "Okay, little sister, do you know how to operate it? Do you need me to teach you?"
"That's great." Ye Wanqing took the remote control with a grateful smile on her face. She returned the remote to the boy and listened carefully to his explanation of how to operate it.
The operation wasn't complicated; Ye Wanqing was a quick learner. Lin Xuan listened and understood the general process. He guessed what Ye Wanqing was planning, and couldn't help but laugh to himself.
When the boy started to explain for the second time, Lin Xuan interrupted him directly: "If you don't go now, they will all run away." There was a bit of ridicule and helplessness in his tone.
Ye Wanqing looked at Lin Xuan meaningfully, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Thank you, I have learned it." Her eyes flashed with confidence and cunning, as if she had already seen the good show that was about to be staged.
