Chapter 125: Coincidence, It’s Just a Coincidence (1/2)
When the sun rose high into the sky, Bai Xiaofei woke up by himself. This was very rare for him.
“Shit, we still have a competition today! Xian’er, wake up!” Bai Xiaofei shook Hu Xian’er because she was still sound asleep. She only groaned in response.
“No more. Let me off. Next time...can’t we do it next time instead?” Hu Xian'er drowsily opened her eyes in a daze. She spoke pitifully, begging for mercy.
“What are you thinking about? The elimination matches are about to start!” Bai Xiaofei was somewhat excited about the tournament, but Hu Xian’er didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving bed.
“I’m hurting too much. I won’t be participating in today’s match, but I can make up for the points next time. Go without me.” After an entire night with Bai Xiaofei, she was in an even worse condition than when they had done it the first time. Forget about going to the competition, Hu Xian’er was finding it hard to even stand.
“Take care of yourself, then. I will be going ahead to the match.”
“Mhm…,” Hu Xian'er replied softly. Now that she could relax, she quickly and once more fell into a deep slumber. Right now, she was willing to do anything Bai Xiaofei wanted so long as it wasn’t another “round” with him.
After he planted a gentle kiss on Hu Xian’er’s face, he quickly donned his clothes and rushed out. Xue Ying had told him yesterday that the elimination matches would be held at the public square.
...
“Big Sister Xue, was Big Brother Fei really discharged from the hospital? But he hadn’t returned to the dorm last night!” Mo Ka asked with a trace of anxiety in his voice. The match was going to start soon, and this time, their opponent was formidable. Without Bai Xiaofei, they would most likely be forced to reveal their trump cards.
“He has definitely been discharged, and I previously went over to check. He hadn’t returned to the hospital,” Xue Ying muttered gloomily, her eyes filled with fury.
“Should we just go ahead? If the time is up, it will be an automatic loss for us,” Xing Nan anxiously asked. The opposing class was already in the ring, and not entering would be considered a forfeit.
“Yeah, that’s the only choice we have. Get ready to go!” Xue Ying wore a dark expression and heaved a long sigh. But just as they were about to move, they heard Bai Xiaofei's familiar voice.
“There’s no rush! I’m here!” Bai Xiaofei ran madly towards them, Blackie on his shoulders and Huskie in his arms. He reached the ring before the final few seconds ran out.
“Luckily, I arrived in time!” He heaved a long sigh of relief. Despite running over, he didn’t look tired. With how his body was now, running wasn’t anything much…
“What have you—”
Bai Xiaofei stopped Xue Ying’s words before they could leave her mouth. “Focus on the match first. We will talk afterwards.”
When the Savage Class students saw that Bai Xiaofei had returned, they started emanating a heroic aura.
“Big Brother Fei, we're depending on you for this match!” Fang Ye laughed heartily. With Bai Xiaofei’s return, he would no longer be burdened…
“Yeah, Big Brother Fei, we all missed you so much.” Mo Ka’s words were as corny as ever. An expression of disgust appeared on Bai Xiaofei’s face.
As for Lin Li, she kept silent. She merely stood there staring at Bai Xiaofei, but the joy in her eyes reflected how she truly felt.
“Don’t worry. From now on, I'll always be around!” As he spoke, Bai Xiaofei climbed into the ring, which had been built just prior to the tournament. Currently, there were a hundred of these rings in the public square. Each had sufficient space for two classes of thirty students to battle, yet they were still a little small for long range attackers such as Fang Ye and Xing Nan.
“Fellow students, I am the class monitor of class 456, Bai Xiaofei.” Bai Xiaofei introduced himself with a faint smile. This caused the students opposite him to momentarily blank out. Although they hadn’t joined the New Student Mutual Aid Community, they had still heard of Bai Xiaofei. Moreover, they were also one of the classes who had previously helped him…
