181 I Liked I (1/2)
\”Simple. Once I hit you three times in the chest, I win. If you manage to strike me at least once, you win.\”
Katherine explained, her body emitting with confidence. She was the master of katana so it was natural.
\”This is indeed simple but isn't it too one-sided?\” Wuxing questioned. \”I don't want to take advantage of you.\”
Pffft!
The crowd burst out laughing hearing this sentence. They already witness the scene of Katherine smashing her opponents.
\”Don't worry, I will be fine. Just give it your all,\” Katherine smiled and prepared her engaging stance, extending her wooden Katana forward. \”Ready?\”
\”Just to clarify, I only need to tap your chest to win, am I right?\” Wuxing asked curiously, already having something in mind.
\”Yes. The gear on our chests is really sensitive. They will beep once there is a hit,\” Katherine explained further, for some reason really eager to fight. \”Ready?\”
\”Mhmm,\” Wuxing nodded, copying her stance.
She signaled her assistant who pressed the countdown button.

At the most intense moment, before the fight started, Wuxing suddenly let go of his stance, standing normally and asked, \”Anywhere on the chest is fine?\”
Gong!
He pounced forward as soon as the round started and pierced at her chest, hoping she would be distracted by his question.
Pa! Pa! Beep!
She struck his katana, bouncing it away completely unhindered and immediately slashed at the side of his chest, getting the point.
\”If those were read, your belly would be sliced open,\” Katherine pointed out as she took two steps back and prepared her stance once again, the tip of her katana aimed at his forehead.
\”Ready?\”
'I don't think she wants me to win…' Wuxing commented as he prepared for the second round. 'I need to think of something.'
He needed a strategy that would catch her off guard. Too bad, Katherine didn't give him the chance to think, starting another round right away.

Gong!
This time it was Katherine who went on offensive first, yet Wuxing extended his hand to stop her. \”Wait,\” Wuxing called out while putting his katana down. \”There is something in your hair.\”
\”Let me help you take it out,\” He suggested with a smile and walked up to her innocently.
Beep.
\”Do you think I will get tricked?\” Katherine rolled her eyes at him as she tapped on his chest, looking dissatisfied with his actions. \”Can't you fight normally?\”
He didn't know but she wanted to fight with him properly only to make small mistakes to give him a win yet Wuxing didn't give her a chance to do that. She couldn't just let him win else others will see it.
Wuxing didn't stop and casually reached out, holding onto her chin before brushing his hand into her crimson hair.
Oof!
The crowd gasped seeing them so close. After all, they were only inches away from each other and she let him touch her which wasn't normal for them.
\”What are you doing?\” Katherine asked confused but Wuxing didn't stop, acting as if he was searching for something. A second later, he pulled out a stalk of grass, presenting it to her.
\”I pulled it out. Now you are beautiful again,\” Wuxing expressed playfully, giving her cheek a soft caress and finally pulled away, his mission done.
He was about to distance himself for the third round when Katherine seized his cheeks and squeezed them, glaring at him from up close.
\”Are you going to fight properly or not? You are not even trying,\” Katherine scolded. \”How are you going to win if you give up early.\”
