"I'll go shower first." Hezekiah search for his bathing towel from among his things
"It's not good to shower while sweating. " Xu Delun said as they just practiced and should be sweating.
At least, that's what he thinks.
Su Pang stood in front of Hezekiah, looking at him carefully. "Where is it?" He asked after a while.
"Where's what?" Hezekiah was confused
"The sweat, of course. " Su Pang was still looking at Hezekiah strangely
Hezekiah raised his hand and touched his face.
How did his sweat dry so quickly?
Why didn't he know when that happened?
Xu Delun observed them for a while but didn't say anything.
He noticed that the moment Zhou Jiang sweats, it would dry out immediately. That's why he runs so well and doesn't feel uncomfortable after running for a long time.
"Could it be that you didn't sweat at all?" Su Pang was unconvinced
"How is that possible?" Hezekiah smiled awakened "it's dry up."
Without waiting for Su Pang's response, he ran to the bathroom.
"What was that about?" Su Pang was dumbfounded, he looked at Xu Delun as if looking for answers
"You're annoying" was all Xu Delun said making Su Pang even more confused
He only asked a question, what does that have to do with being annoying?
Xu Delun is too much!
…..
"It's refreshing." Xu Delun who came out of the bathroom said.
"I'm still exhausted." Su Pang hugged the soft pillow and refused to let go.
"Where is him?" Xu Delun looked around the room but didn't see Hezekiah.
"Who? Zhou Jiang? … He said he'd something to do and would be back in five minutes." Su Pang said lazily
"You should take a bath, this is not your home."
"I'm ready tired. Can't you pamper me a little?" Su Pang rolls his eyes
Xu Delun didn't say anything. He walked to the bed and grabbed a sitting person who didn't want to get up and dragged him to the bathroom and closed the door.
"Xu Deluna! What was that for?!" Su Pang's scream came from the bathroom.
Su Pang didn't know that Xu Delun didn't want him (Su Pang) to see him dressed.
He missed out without his knowledge.

The practice went on for many days and boys were making progress. Today was the last school day of the week, Friday.
Today's practice was about accuracy.
Accuracy is an important aspect of tennis players. It allows you to direct the ball to the right and the left sides of the court.
The tennis balls have different colors as well as cones with corresponding colors. When the machine shoots out the ball, they are expected to aim for the corresponding cone.
"Adjust your aim rather than trying to adjust the stroke," Hezekiah advises as he coaches them.
"Got it."
….
"I'm loving this doubles tennis, at least I don't have to suffer alone." Su Pang said and handed a bottle of water to Xu Delun
"That's what doubles tennis is about, players helping each."
Hezekiah had a list in his hand as he marked the things they did well. "There are only two days before the match. We'll continue our special training today. We'll practice rallies in a limited range. Which means to practice in a certain area. You will play according to your shot style. Xu Delun is a Hold-and-attack defense player, while Su Pang is a serve-and-volley player who can only attack half-court. That is why you should be doubled players. Aggressive attack and all-court players must defend the whole court. Which you guys can't."
Come on brother, do you have to hurt us this way?
Xu Delun and Su Pang felt that that last sentence was made to hurt them.
Hezekiah continues, "Su Pang position is close to the net, while Xu Delun will guard the baseline and support from behind. … okay let's begin."
Zhong Chao and Bao Lei were watching their practice.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Zhong Chao suddenly asked
"You bet I am." Bai Lan said without thinking. After a moment, he realizes he didn't know what the other party was thinking and scratches his head embarrassedly. "Umm … What are we thinking?
"You are still so stupid." Zhong Chao sighs "I say let's place a bet on Su Pang and Xu Delun Monday."
"Are you sure? I mean, What if they lose?" Bai Lan asked worriedly
Zhong Chao shook his head. "I don't think they'll lose that easily, besides, the coach said they have a high chance of winning."
"If you say so, I'm in." Bai Lan agreed
That's right since the coach said it, then It must be true.
Besides, Xu Delun and Su Pang were single players, their sudden change will make their opponent underestimate them. When that happens, their chances of winning will. I have to bet more money, this is a rare opportunity, I can't let this pass without taking advantage!
