Chapter 118 of "The Scarlet Journey of Huadu": Moving Forward Wounded. At 8 PM, the Xionggao City Gymnasium was already packed with people. Originally, there were only 20,000 tickets available, but due to overwhelming demand from fans, the gymnasium had to release an additional 2,000 standing tickets, nearly making the entire stadium overflowing. Fortunately, the building's structure was sturdy enough; otherwise, the overloading could have caused serious problems. Before the game started, the players from both teams emerged from the locker room. Each time the announcer called out a name, the player would raise their hand to signal to the audience, usually eliciting cheers. When the announcer called out "Su Xue" in the most excited voice, a girl in a snow-white, tight-fitting volleyball uniform raised her hands high, revealing an incredibly sweet smile, leaving everyone stunned and momentarily stopping their cheers. Shen Wenqi, with eyesight comparable to a high-powered telescope, and sitting not far from the girl, saw her even more clearly and meticulously. Originally, everyone thought that Su Xue in the promotional poster, with her beautiful face and snow-white skin, must be a computer-generated image. But seeing her in person, they realized that the beauties in the posters were nowhere near half as pretty as Su Xue. She was a truly stunning woman, exuding a gentle and refined charm—no wonder she was called the number one beauty in Chinese sports. "Pretty, isn't she?" Amidst the roaring shouts, another stunning beauty leaned close to Shen Wenqi's ear and asked in a soft, fragrant voice. "Very beautiful, truly deserving of her reputation." Shen Wenqi said, squeezing Liu Wanyue's delicate hand. "But the beauty beside me is also very lovely. Apart from not being as tall as her, you two are truly neck and neck!" "Hehe..." The girl wearing sunglasses smiled slightly, naturally resting her head on Shen Wenqi's shoulder, thinking, "Hmm... Sir is so gentle... A gentleman with such a compassionate heart should be like this, treating girls gently—that's the perfect man..." Liu Wanyue looked up at Su Xue. It was the first time she'd been so close to her idol, and the beauty couldn't help but compare herself to her. She realized that, apart from height, she seemed to lack a little in terms of bust and hips... Oh, really just a little... The beauty blushed slightly, perhaps thinking of something, but thankfully, her sunglasses concealed it. "Beep..." The introductions quickly passed, and with the referee's whistle, the two teams occupying opposite sides of the volleyball court began their evening's competition. Su Xue is sweet and charming, a stunning beauty anywhere. But on the court, this girl is no mere pretty face. With her first serve, she smashed the opposing team's receiver with a powerful spike, scoring a point. Su Xue's supporters cheered wildly. The Japanese team, unwilling to lose momentum, quickly retaliated with a quick attack, scoring their own point and catching up. This back-and-forth action from the start thrilled the spectators. While enjoying the intense atmosphere, Shen Wenqi subconsciously observed Su Xue's knees. Undoubtedly, Su Xue played the role of the main attacker for the Chinese team. Not only was her serve powerful, but she also possessed exceptional talent in spiking and blocking. She had all the qualities a volleyball player should have—jumping, power, and accuracy—and executed them exceptionally well. Because of this, the Chinese team's offense and defense revolved around her. After receiving the ball, she was always the first choice to be fed to the Japanese team, and during blocks, one or two players were usually beside her, ready to assist her in intercepting. Under Su Xue's leadership, the Chinese team relentlessly attacked from various points, overwhelming the Japanese team and quickly bringing the score to 10-3. Everyone was amazed by Su Xue's unstoppable performance. From the large screens and within sight, it seemed that Su Xue's condition was improving, except for slightly rapid breathing. However, Shen Wenqi didn't think so. Anyone with basic medical knowledge would know that Su Xue always jumped and landed on her right leg, with her left foot bearing a smaller weight, thus increasing her reliance on her right leg. Furthermore, whenever the ball went to the left, Su Xue's chasing speed wasn't very fast, as if she was enduring something. Shen Wenqi's medical skills far surpassed those of ordinary doctors. He could see that Su Xue's left leg bandage was much denser than the others, and noticeably softer, indicating that the soft tissue injury hadn't fully healed. Not only was her left leg injury serious, but Shen Wenqi also observed a worrying condition in her right leg. Each time she struck the ground, Su Xue's right kneecap would tremble slightly, a tremor sufficient to affect the bones in her right leg. According to Shen Wenqi's professional opinion, Su Xue was currently unsuitable for strenuous exercise. Such high-intensity competition could easily lead to a fracture. Her legs were already under considerable strain; if she were to break them again, even walking normally after resetting would be questionable. The Chinese team's coach, clearly aware of Su Xue's condition, substituted her after ten minutes. At this point, the Chinese team held a commanding 23-11 lead, practically guaranteeing a 25-point victory. As soon as Su Xue sat down on the rest chair, two middle-aged women knelt down in front of her, gently massaging her knees, ankles, and leg muscles. She, however, draped a towel over her head, closed her eyes to rest, and seemed completely unconcerned about the match. With their key player absent, the Chinese team's offense and defense both dropped a level or two; more accurately, their confidence had diminished due to the absence of their star player. The Japanese team didn't ignore this, and through a series of coordinated plays, they gradually caught up. However, because Su Xue and her teammates had built such a strong foundation, no matter how hard the Japanese team tried, they ultimately lost the set 19-25. Volleyball is a best-of-five series, with the first team to win three sets winning the match. But regardless of the game, the first set is always crucial, having a significant impact on morale and fighting spirit. The Chinese team, having won the first set, joyfully high-fived each other and went to rest. The Japanese team, having lost a set, seemed demoralized. While their coach instructed them, the girls unconsciously glanced at Su Xue beside them, their faces showing fear. During the halftime break, the volleyball cheerleaders rushed out, dancing and playing games with the surrounding spectators to liven up the atmosphere—a form of commercialization for volleyball. However, no matter how pure, cute, or hot the cheerleaders were, most eyes were still on Su Xue. This talented volleyball beauty, however, was still resting with a towel draped over her, just as she had been when she left the court, while the two masseuses giving her massages didn't stop for a moment. The break flew by, and the second set began with the whistle. After a period of rest, and without Su Xue on the court, the Chinese team, after a few good starts, was firmly suppressed by the Japanese team. The Japanese team held the initiative in both technique and experience, a stark contrast to their earlier defeat at the hands of Su Xue. Seeing the situation was unfavorable, the Chinese team coach hesitated for a moment, then walked over to Su Xue and whispered a few words. The next moment, people saw Su Xue remove the towel from her head, revealing a slightly pale face, but one that did nothing to diminish her stunning beauty. "Oh!" The crowd cheered in unison, the enthusiastic applause even surpassing the cheers for the players on both sides. A ball that the Japanese team was about to spike was intercepted by two Chinese players due to a momentary lapse in concentration, resulting in a point. After this point, Su Xue, who was already standing on the sidelines, picked up a sign and substituted another player from her team, adding her to the game. With the addition of this talented young girl, the Chinese team seemed like a completely different team. Both their offense and defense became much stronger. Even on balls where Su Xue didn't participate, the previously somewhat timid girls were able to play very well, showing increased fighting spirit and resilience. "Everyone says the Chinese team is stronger because of Su Xue's addition, and it's true!" Liu Wanyue said softly beside her. "No matter how many matches I watch, with Miss Su Xue on the team, I always feel that the Chinese team won't lose." "Volleyball, like basketball and football, is a team sport. Having one person might have a good effect in some matches, but in the long run, a good team is the hope for victory!"Shen Wenqi responded calmly, "Look at the Chinese team. With and without Su Xue, their performances are completely different. This over-reliance on her isn't a good thing." "Hmm...yes." Liu Wanyue outwardly agreed with Shen Wenqi's opinion, but then added, "But this is the crucial match you mentioned. If we can win this match, Miss Su Xue's perseverance won't be in vain. If we win this year's World Cup, she can properly recover from her injury." "I hope so." Shen Wenqi said slowly. He originally wanted to tell Liu Wanyue that, based on his observation, Su Xue's fragile knees would be unable to support her weight for at most another thirty minutes, which could potentially lead to serious consequences. "Speaking of which, Wenqi..." Amidst the noise, Liu Wanyue opened her adorable big eyes and pleaded, "This time, you have to help with Miss Su Xue's leg injuries..." "Me? I'm not a doctor, what can I do to help?" "They're talking about that gentleman..." The beautiful woman shook Shen Wenqi's arm, "You and that gentleman are good friends, why don't you go and talk to him and ask him to help heal Miss Su Xue, okay..." It's a girl's nature to be coquettish, even such a beautiful and gentle woman is no exception. Her pure and beautiful face, her pitiful eyes... and those round, jade-like breasts that kept rubbing against Shen Wenqi's arm, were truly tempting to him! "Okay, I'll go talk to him. If he has time, it shouldn't be a problem." Shen Wenqi casually agreed, thinking to himself that he would still stick to his previous statement that Su Xue should retire; with so many sports injuries, why was she still working so hard? "Remember! You promised!" Liu Wanyue laughed heartily, even giving Shen Wenqi a quick kiss on the cheek before shyly pulling away, pretending to focus on the match. A young girl's charm is always so captivating. Seeing her shyness, Shen Wenqi didn't press her, smiling slightly as he refocused on the game. Just as Shen Wenqi predicted, Su Xue unleashed a barrage of attacks, immediately turning the tide. In the second set, China narrowly defeated Japan 27-25, with Su Xue scoring sixteen points, the most of any player. However, through the slow-motion replay on the big screen, most viewers could see that Su Xue frowned and gritted her teeth with each spike, a tactic that became increasingly apparent as the match progressed. For some reason, a particular shot was shown on the big screen during the final decisive point. Su Xue leaped high, deflecting the volleyball past the arms of three Japanese players. The moment she landed, her left foot instinctively lifted, and the face of the volleyball prodigy turned deathly pale. The Japanese coach watched the entire scene without blinking, a cold smile creeping across his face: "Sorry, Su Xue! While I admit you're strong, this is a game!" And so, the new set began. Previously, the Japanese players had avoided her defense or prevented the ball from reaching her attack points. But now, they deliberately aimed their spikes and blocks towards Su Xue, intending to overwhelm her with a barrage of targeted attacks and force her to collapse prematurely. Everyone knew that without Su Xue on the court, the Chinese team's strength would wane, rendering them incapable of exerting any real pressure on the Japanese team. To outsiders, Su Xue seemed unstoppable, her attacks relentless and overwhelming. The Chinese team struggled against her single-handedly, their resistance fragile and seemingly on the verge of collapse. The game was one-sided; Su Xue's efforts quickly gave China an 8-2 lead. The Chinese players encouraged each other, victory seemingly within reach. But in the blink of an eye, another ball was spiked by the Japanese team, aimed directly at Su Xue. Su Xue caught the ball with both hands, the volleyball hitting her arms and bouncing heavily. Immediately, the setter, anticipating the falling ball, gently sent it towards the right side of the net, and Su Xue was already there. "Oh no!" The Japanese players panicked, three Japanese girls quickly attempting to intercept at the net, but Su Xue, with her incredible jumping ability, leaped high, her right hand striking the falling volleyball perfectly. "Bang..." A muffled thud followed as the volleyball struck the hand of an Osaka player in the middle, changing its trajectory and falling out of bounds. "Beep!" The referee raised his right hand, signaling a point for the Chinese team. As the whistle blew, Su Xue, falling from the air, didn't land properly. A look of pain crossed her face, her right leg clearly bent, and with a soft crack, she fell heavily to the ground. "Ah!" A collective gasp filled the arena in an instant. Cheers and sighs of regret vanished. The once bustling Xionggao City Gymnasium fell silent, all eyes fixed on the fallen girl...In the blink of an eye, another ball was spiked by the Japanese team, still aimed directly at Su Xue's position. Su Xue cupped her hands, and the volleyball hit her arm, bouncing heavily. Immediately, the setter spotted the falling volleyball and gently sent it towards the right side of the net with both hands. At that moment, Su Xue had already arrived there. "Oh no!" The Japanese team members panicked. Three Japanese girls quickly made interception attempts at the net, but Su Xue, with her amazing jumping ability, leaped high, forcefully extending her right hand and perfectly hitting the falling volleyball. "Bang..." A muffled sound rang out as the volleyball hit the hands of an Osaka player in the middle, changing its direction and falling out of bounds. "Beep!" The referee raised his right hand, indicating a point for the Chinese team. As the whistle blew, Su Xue, who had just landed, didn't land steadily. Instead, she looked pained, her right leg clearly bent, her bones making a soft crack, and she fell heavily onto the court. "Ah!" A gasp of shock echoed throughout the stadium in an instant. Cheers and sighs of regret vanished.
