    Chapter 1673 Getting Competitive


    There was no need for them to tell an acquaintance that they were a couple. Peter nodded as he


    rxed, then nced at Ian. “Do you want to y with us?”


    Ian hadn’t intended to participate in their games, but he felt the sudden urge to do so after hearing


    Peter’s question. “Can I borrow your racket?” he asked as he turned to look at Cindy.


    Cindy had no reason to reject Ian, so she handed the racket to him. He took it and waved it around a


    few times. This grip feels really good. I’m sure this racket isn’t cheap, Ian thought. Without any proper


    warm-up, Ian served the shuttlecock and yed with Peter for a few minutes just to get used to this


    racket.


    Cindy stood by the side and watched both the men y. However, she sensed a figure approaching


    her after a short while. The person spoke up before Cindy had a chance to turn around. “I’m surprised.


    You’ve got some skills.”


    When Cindy turned around, she wasn’t surprised to find the girl who had thrown her bottle away earlier.


    Although Cindy was a good-tempered person, it didn’t mean that she didn’t have a temper. When she


    heard what the girl said, she immediately let out an icy scoff. “Well, should I pick one for myself now? I


    think Peter’s pretty good-looking. What do you think?”

    The girl’s expression stiffened. “You made things really clear with your actions—even I could tell that


    you’re interested in him. Do you think he isn’t aware of your feelings?” Cindy asked.


    With her eyes fixed on the game between Ian and Peter, Cindy continued speaking to the girl. “Does he


    know about your feelings? Or does he not know? Or… Is he just pretending not to know?” She clicked


    her tongue. “Sometimes, men aren’t as dumb as you think they are. I’m sure he’s well aware of who


    likes or dislikes him.”


    Coincidentally, Ian and Peter finished their first match right after Cindy finished speaking. Peter turned


    to look at Cindy. “I have another racket with me. Do you want to y too? I can bring my racket over for


    you.”


    Cindy had never been a huge fan of this sport, so she quickly waved him off. “It’s fine. I’d rather just


    watch both of you y.” After that, Peter turned around and started another game with Ian. He had


    obviously seen the young girl standing beside Cindy, but he didn’tment on her at all. Although it


    hadn’t been appropriate for them to start a conversation in such a situation, the girl was clearly


    saddened by the fact that Peter hadn’t even greeted her.


    She was still holding the drink that was meant for Peter, and she let out a soft scoff before she turned


    and left. Cindy only turned around to peek at the girl after some time. To Cindy’s relief, the girl had


    packed her bag to leave the park. Phew. I thought she was going to stay around and continue ying


    badminton with others, she thought.


    I wonder if I went overboard with my words earlier. I hadn’t intended to get involved in her rtionship


    with Peter, but she directed all of her anger toward the wrong person. I didn’t do anything to her, so I


    can’t let her step all over me! When Cindy shifted her focus back to the match, she realized that


    something was wrong.


    Both men looked like they had ced all of their strength and focus into the game. Both of them had


    solemn expressions on their faces, and they were starting to use sly tactics in their game. It was


    obvious that both men were trying their best to win.


    Although Cindy barely knew anything about badminton, she could tell that they were both getting


    competitive. She knitted her brows as she watched him. Why can’t they just have a friendly match? Are


    men always thispetitive when ites to ying sports? After a while, Cindy got bored of their


    game. She wasn’t interested in the match’s oue, especially since it wasn’t an official tournament.


    They might never even bump into each other again in the future. Why can’t they just y one or two


    matches in peace? Things tend to turn ugly whenever people startpeting against one another.


    Later, Cindy shifted her focus to Ian. Obviously, Ian had some experience in ying badminton


    because his skills were on par with Peter’s. This came as a surprise to Cindy—she had always thought


    that Ian would be hopeless in sports. Even after a while, there was still no clear winner between Peter


    and Ian. Once Cindy got bored, she returned to the bench, where there were still drinks that she had


    bought from earlier.


    The girl had thrown away one of her bottles earlier, but there were still drinks in the bag.
