Qin Si Ye smiled and rubbed her head. "It's fine. My age and body both have advantages, so you don't need to worry about me. Come on."
After speaking, he glanced meaningfully at Shen Xi. Before Shen Xi could agree, he walked directly towards the west goal.
For some reason, Shen Xi's fighting spirit was ignited by his look just now.
She remembered losing to him in badminton last week, and this time she was determined to win back.
Once everyone was in position, the three children took the field, from oldest to youngest.
Considering the children's height and strength, Qin Si Ye had them kick from a position only seven or eight meters away from the goal.
Chen Chen stood behind the soccer ball, took a deep breath, aimed at the goal, and kicked with all his might.
Although the direction was correct, the force was too weak, and Qin Si Ye easily blocked it.
The next two attempts saw one kick go wide, and another stop before reaching the goal.
Chen Chen shook his head, a little disappointed, and walked off the field, making way for Shuo Shuo.
He summarized the reasons for Chen Chen's failure. His eyes, like black grapes, darted around as he asked loudly, "Uncle Qin, can I run up to kick it?"
"In principle, no, but since you're not strong, you can do it this way," Qin Si Ye said with a smile.
"Alright!" Chen Chen replied with a cheerful smile. He took a few steps back, ran up, and immediately kicked the ball hard towards the goal.
The ball's speed was indeed faster and more powerful than Chen Chen's kick, but Qin Si Ye, with his quick reflexes, kicked it away.
Chen Chen's eyes widened in surprise. "It can be done like this?"
Why hadn't he thought of that earlier?
In the next two attempts, although Shuo Shuo's method posed some threat to Qin Si Ye, they were all intercepted.
When it was Yan Yan's turn, she also chose the same running-up method. However, being a girl, her sense of direction and strength were not as good as her two brothers. Only one ball was kicked towards the goal; the other two went wide.
Finally, it was Shen Xi's turn. The three children looked at her intently, pouring all their hopes onto her.
Shen Xi walked over and suddenly kicked the soccer ball backward. Seeing this, Qin Si Ye straightened up and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm not a child, this distance is too close. Winning against you wouldn't be glorious," Shen Xi replied, glancing back at him with a slight smile, and continued with her footwork.
Seeing her challenging gaze, Qin Si Ye said with great interest, "This isn't your first time playing soccer, so you can stand at the same distance as them.
If you manage to score one goal, I won't ride in your car starting next week."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi abruptly turned her head, staring at him in disbelief. "You said it yourself, don't regret it."
"A gentleman's word is his bond. The three children can bear witness." When Qin Si Ye glanced at the three standing nearby, he met their surprised gazes.
Chen Chen even waved at him, signaling him not to make a bet out of this.
If they lost, he really wouldn't be able to ride in their car anymore.
Qin Si Ye, however, smiled confidently at them, as if to say: Don't worry, have complete peace of mind.
Back in college, he was a prominent figure in the school's soccer team.
He didn't believe he couldn't defend against a woman who had never played soccer before.
At this moment, Shen Xi had already kicked the ball back to its original position.
She looked up at the goal and asked, "Can I also run up to kick it?"
"Yes," Qin Si Ye replied, getting into position with a slight curve of his lips.
Shen Xi took a few steps back, aimed at the goal, and kicked with all her might.
The ball sped towards Qin Si Ye, its force and speed far exceeding those of the three children. However, her kick was too straight, and Qin Si Ye firmly caught it in his arms.
Although the three children were a little disappointed, they still let out a round of enthusiastic applause and praise: "Mommy is amazing! Mommy, go for it!"
For the second ball, Shen Xi learned from her previous mistake. Instead of aiming for the center, she aimed for the corners of the goal and kicked hard.
However, her eyes betrayed her thoughts, and Qin Si Ye accurately predicted the direction. He stretched out his hands and powerfully blocked the ball.
Watching the ball fly off, Shen Xi felt a hint of disappointment.
As the third ball was placed, Shen Xi's dark eyes darted around, and she mentally urged herself that this shot must go in.
Just as she was concentrating on her strategy, her phone in her pants pocket suddenly rang.
She took it out and saw that it was Song Kai Cheng.
