Chapter 11
The "Licking Dog" Male Team Member Questions Where I Go Is None of Your Business!

It's the same old story,

The island's entertainment industry is very developed!

When it comes to certain male and female knowledge,

People on the island know more than those in other countries.

Therefore—

Just that action of Shida Chiharu,

That way of walking,

To be honest,

No one can fail to see what it means.

While I don't want to believe it,

But that action,

Besides that incident,

There's almost no other possibility!

Plus,

Not returning home last night,

And being injured,

She won't let the team doctor check her.

This…

It's basically confirmed!

Last night,

Shida Chiharu must have had a wonderful night!

This conclusion,

Undeniably!

Thinking about it,

The hearts of these islanders present,

Were all stirred by tumultuous waves!

Who is Shida Chiharu?

She is a top-tier female badminton athlete on the island,

Along with her partner, Matsuyama Naoko,

Together they have achieved numerous accomplishments!

From 2016,

To 2024,

As long as they participated in competitions,

They were basically always in the top three!

Even…

They have won the women's doubles championship in many open tournaments!

With these achievements,

It's enough to make countless islanders adore them!

Not to mention her sweet looks!

She was once hailed as "the most beautiful goddess of badminton on the island",

And together with Ishikawa Kaori, Konno Miwa, and Honda Marin, they are known as the four contemporary beauties of the island's sports world!

The dream goddess of countless islanders!

And according to understanding,

She has never been in a relationship until now!

It's precisely this point,

That made the entire island's sports community,

Many young male athletes go crazy for her,

Dreaming of becoming her other half!

But—

This kind of existence,

Actually, last night,

It's unknown who got her!

This news,

Too explosive!

If it gets out,

It could directly make the front page of major newspapers on the island tomorrow!

And this,

From the scene,

The reactions of these island badminton players,

Can be seen!

“Nani! Chiharu-san actually has a man!”

“No! It's too fast, Chiharu-chan gave herself away like this?”

“Ssssh! You guys say, who is Chiharu-san's man? What kind of man is he?”

“I say, he must be very handsome, definitely an athlete too, and he must be a world champion, otherwise he wouldn't be worthy of Chiharu!”

This is the reaction of the female players,

Shida Chiharu has always been very popular in the team.

So although they are surprised,

But most of them are just curious!

As for the male players,

At this moment,

One by one they were struck like lightning!

Some stood rooted to the spot,

Their faces were filled with disbelief and loss,

Muttering to themselves:

“Impossible!”

“Impossible!”

“My Chiharu goddess, how could she suddenly have a significant other!”

Some were lost and disoriented,

With a thud, they collapsed onto the ground.

Their eyes were blank,

As if they had lost the center of their lives,

They kept muttering:

“My perfect goddess, just like that, she belongs to someone else…”

Other male players,

Tried to use a wry smile,

To mask their inner pain,

They pretended to be carefree and said:

“Perhaps this is fate's arrangement!”

Among them,

There were male players who were usually more impulsive,

They clenched their fists,

Their eyes were red,

They roared angrily and helplessly:

“Who is so lucky? I haven't even had a chance to confess!”

There was also a,

Relatively calm male player,

Although he tried to maintain his composure,

But his tightly pursed lips and slightly trembling hands,

Still revealed his inner turmoil,

He sighed and said:

“I just hope she can be happy, even if it's not me!”

Unbelievable!

Heartbreaking!

Disillusioned!

Lost and disoriented!

Pounding chest and stamping feet!

Forcing a smile!

It can be said that,

This conclusion,

After flashing through their minds,

And being confirmed again and again,

The mental states of all the male players on the island's badminton team collapsed!

They couldn't believe their eyes!

They doubted whether they were still dreaming!

Difficult to accept!

“My Chiharu goddess, she's actually been taken by someone!”

“My Chiharu goddess, she's actually been taken by someone!”

“My Chiharu goddess, she's actually been taken by someone!!!”

This sentence,

Like a curse,

Almost all the male players,

Were muttering it.

And among them,

The most agitated,

The most difficult to accept,

The most unwilling to believe,

Was the men's singles athlete…

Nishimoto Kentaro!!!

Actually,

He was originally on the island's national track and field team,

Because of meeting Shida Chiharu at a party once,

He was then captivated by her.

For Shida Chiharu,

From the track and field team,

He transferred to the badminton team,

Just to have more contact with her,

To be closer to her!

And after coming here,

He indeed did that.

He would constantly show concern for Shida Chiharu, day and night,

Good morning, good afternoon, good night,

He would send messages every time!

Whether it was a holiday or an ordinary day,

He would constantly give Shida Chiharu gifts,

Even when he was broke,

He would still buy gifts!

Under the pretense of:

Creating little surprises!

Not only that,

Every one of Shida Chiharu's posts,

He would be the first to like and comment,

Showing extreme attention and care.

At the same time,

As long as it was something Shida Chiharu liked,

Whether he was interested or not,

He would try his best to understand and like it.

And what Shida Chiharu disliked,

He would immediately show his disgust,

Without any bottom line!

Moreover,

During normal training,

If he encountered any problems,

Even if it wasn't his fault,

Even if Shida Chiharu wasn't angry,

He would apologize frantically with extreme humility.

But in reality,

For all of this,

Shida Chiharu was quite indifferent!

As for him,

She just saw him as a teammate!

But even,

The latter's attitude was cold,

And clearly refused,

He still persisted,

Believing that as long as he worked hard enough,

He could move Shida Chiharu!

However?

Now?

His goddess,

Has been taken by someone else!

Looking at Shida Chiharu's way of walking,

His heart was about to break!

His dream was shattered!

The Shida Chiharu he carefully maintained everyday,

Last night she was treated so roughly by another man,

This feeling,

Was more painful than killing him!

Without much hesitation,

He didn't even greet Park Joo-bong,

He immediately got up,

He lifted his leg and chased in the direction Shida Chiharu was leaving!

“Chiharu!”

“Chiharu!”

Because she had difficulty walking,

Shida Chiharu didn't walk far,

So he quickly caught up to her.

Seeing Nishimoto Kentaro, who was out of breath,

The former's face darkened:

“Nishimoto-san, I've said it many times, please call me Ms. Shida, okay?”

As soon as these words came out,

Nishimoto Kentaro was about to retort,

But immediately he stopped himself,

He went straight to the point:

“Okay!”

“Ms. Shida!”

“Please, why didn't you come back last night?”

“Where did you go?”

He asked anxiously.

Hearing this,

Shida Chiharu immediately frowned,

Her cold eyes swept over his face,

Making the latter feel a slight sting,

He dared not look at her!

Then,

He only heard Shida Chiharu slowly say:

“Nishimoto-san!”

“Where I go, do I need to report to you?”

“What right do you have to ask me?”

“Who are you to me?”
