181 I Liked I (2/2)

He could only shrug, understanding her intentions really well. Unfortunately, he knew he couldn't perform a believable performance with her to convince the crowd she didn't lose on purpose. His katana skills were not enough to actually fight her so he had to think of something else.

\”Trust me, I'm doing my best,\” Wuxing assured gently. \”Let's start the third round. Give me your best.\”

Katherine looked at him confused, looking at him deeply as if trying to read his mind but he only smiled, giving her nothing.

\”Alright… Let's fight,\” Katherine agreed, releasing him and prepared her stance once again.

She gave the signal to the assistant when someone from the crowd shouted to everyone.

\”Wait, I remember this guy now. He is one of the top ten and he sat next to Miss Katherine during the dinner!\”

\”Oof, I guess even if you get to know the instructor, they won't give you any mercy.\”

No one suspected that they knew each other beforehand.

\”Your last chance. Use it well,\” Katherine advised before the countdown started but Wuxing only nodded, copying her stance.

3…

2…

1…

Gong!

With the start signal, Wuxing seemed to have given up completely as he threw his katana at her chest like a spear and dashed forward.

Pa!

She bounced his katana away and instinctively struck at his chest, knowing that he had no weapon.

Too bad, that was exactly what Wuxing wanted.

He covered his chest with his hands, blocking the painful hit and smashed into her with his body, knocking them both to the ground.

If they were on the hard ground, he wouldn't risk like this but they were on a soft grass ground which provided them a safe landing. He still embraced her, sacrificing his arms to absorb the most damage, only releasing her when they hit the ground.

He immediately got on top of her, sitting on her waist and started stabbing her on the chest with fingers that resembled spears.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The gear beeped each time, signaling the successful hit.

\”I won,\” Wuxing announced with a grin, watching the confusion on Katherine's face.

\”Did you just… Stab me?\” Katherine turned speechless.

\”Yup,\” Wuxing nodded and shrugged. \”You said as long as I land a hit and the gear beeps, I will win. You didn't say I need to use Katana for that.\”

\”Tsk… There is no way Miss Katherine approves this,\” someone in the crowd snickered but Wuxing didn't care, staring at Katherine to await her decision.

Katherine lifted herself as much as she could, basically having Wuxing on her lap and exchanged gazes with him.

After a few seconds, she finally smiled, announcing, \”Fine, you won.\”

Huh?!

Her decision seemed to have confused everyone but she explained right after, \”I indeed didn't say you have hit me with a katana. I will consider it my mistake. From now one, anyone who wants to win has to strike me with the katana.\”

\”Congratulations,\” Katherine added as she turned back to Wuxing and asked casually, \”Do you think your girlfriend will like you sitting on another woman's lap?\”

Cough!

Wuxing cleared his throat and stood up from her

\”Miss, let me help you,\” Wuxing offered his hand like a gentleman and she accepted it, pulling herself up.

Ah!

Out of nowhere, Katherine exclaimed, acting as if Wuxing exerted too much strength and she hugged him for support, trying to regain her footing. She pulled away on her own but before that, Wuxing heard a subtle whisper into his ear that only he heard.

\”I liked it…\”
