In Jianghai University, ”Western Pond”, also known as ”Lover's Pond”, was a beautiful and romantic small lake. Here, the lake's water was clear, and rows and rows of weeping willow trees grew near the lake's shore.

Many couples would choose to date at the lake. There were even some who came from outside the school to take a look at the scenery and relax.

Duan Lingfei looked around the Western Lake and quickly found Su Xiaoqiao under a large willow tree beside the lake. The latter was sitting on a stone bench, staring blankly at the lake.

”Xiaoqiao, are you alright?”

Hearing Duan Lingfei's voice, Su Xiaoqiao turned to look, her eyes were red, it was obvious that she had just been crying.

”Why are you here?”

”Ugh …” A friend of mine told me that someone was trying to bully you in the gym, so I came to take a look. ”

Duan Lingfei said as he walked to Su Xiaoqiao's side and sat down.

”It's alright. Your friend and a group of male students from the sports department helped. They didn't let me suffer any losses.” Su Xiaoqiao said indifferently, he tried his best to squeeze out a smile, but the depression on his face could not be concealed.

”That's great, let me tell you, the students of Jianghai University are the most united. Next time, if that bastard dares to come and act tough again, I guarantee that I will beat him until even his mother won't recognize him.”

”He won't come again.” Su Xiaoqiao sighed, and said: ”The next Jin Quan University and Jianghai University competition will be held in the city's stadium in a month. It's an official competition that concerns the right to get out of the competition.”

”So what? Xiaoqiao, don't you have a special training plan? In this month, try to raise the standards of Taekwondo by another level so that we can teach him a lesson on the stage. ”

”Impossible.” Su Xiaoqiao shook his head and laughed bitterly.

”That person's strength is very high. Li Cheng is already one of the top experts in our society. In the end, he couldn't even last three rounds before he was defeated.”

”That person even had a cigarette in his hand. He didn't use his full strength at all.”

”The difference is too great. There's no way I can make up for it within a month.”

As he said that, Su Xiaoqiao's eyes once again lit up with tears: ”I really want to support Taekwondo, I have never been so serious in wanting to do one thing, but...”

”Am I too useless?”

”How could that be!” Duan Lingfei comforted her: ”Xiaoqiao, you have always been great, even if you lose in the competition, it's only because the members there are too weak, it has nothing to do with you.”

”I'm the Taekwondo club's elder sister, I have to take responsibility for their lower level, not to mention …” Su Xiaoqiao sighed: ”Not only are their standards poor, they don't even have the courage to do so.”

”How could that be? Isn't that Li Cheng supposed to be on stage? ”

”That's him trying to show off.” Su Xiaoqiao rolled his eyes at Duan Lingfei. ”After he got injured, all of the members of Taekwondo were like eggplants that had been frozen, and they all withered. If not for the sports department supporting a bunch of students, then …”

”This... This... ”That's normal too. It's good as long as you exercise more. After all, most of them are new to the game. There will always be fear in their hearts.”

”I'm afraid we won't have any more chances to train them.” Su Xiaoqiao sighed: ”Just now, before I came out, there were already a few people who had found me and asked to leave the society. I think in another two days, we probably won't even be able to reach the bottom line for the participants.”

”Can we recruit people again?”

”How can there be any rush within a month's time? Even if they were able to recruit people, they would still be novices. How could they expect them to win on stage? ”

While he was speaking, Su Xiaoqiao kept picking up small stones from the ground and throwing them into the lake, causing circular ripples on the surface of the lake.

Those ripples seemed to have started to undulate in Duan Lingfei's heart. Looking at Su Xiaoqiao's pitiful and tightly furrowed brows, he actually felt a trace of heartache.

”Xiaoqiao, what are you going to do?”

”If nothing unexpected happens, we can only forfeit this competition.”

”Is there no other way?”
