But the girl was quite understanding and didn't mind Zhou En's refusal. She placed the book in her hand on the ground and reached out to help Zhou En sit up.
A faint, fresh scent wafted through the air and into Zhou En's mind. Combined with the warm, gentle touch of her small hand on his back, Zhou En couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart.
For a moment, Zhou En's cheeks felt a slight warmth.
After Zhou En was settled, the girl took out her phone, ready to dial 120 for emergency services.
Zhou En quickly said, "No need, just help me to the infirmary."
Zhou En didn't want his family to worry. And if Chubby were conscious, he definitely wouldn't want his parents to know either.
This was what they called "reporting good news and not bad news."
Zhou En found a suitable excuse for himself.
"Should I go call some friends over?" the girl asked timidly, looking at Chubby lying on the ground.
Honestly, Zhou En felt a pang of reluctance to part ways after only chatting with the girl for a few sentences, but he still nodded.
"Then thank you," Zhou En said to the girl, flashing a bright, boyish smile.
However, this movement pulled at the wound on his face, causing him to grimace in pain.
The girl agreed with a sound and ran off with quick, small steps.
Zhou En shakily stood up, limping with each step, and walked over to sit beside Chubby. He hugged his knees and began to drift into a daze.
He couldn't help but think back to his high school days. On his very first day in class, he had met the goddess of his dreams.
Her stunningly beautiful face was flushed like a fiery sunset, her alluring, pure eyes shyly half-closed, and her long, dark lashes concealed those watery, autumn-like pupils.
Coupled with her gracefully curved, smooth cheeks and her delicate, porcelain skin that seemed like it could be broken by a puff of air.
Zhou En had never imagined that such a beautiful girl could exist in the world.
He secretly vowed that he would marry this girl in this life.
As their relationship developed, he also learned that the girl's family were the organizers of the Free Fighting Competition.
And the girl herself would later become a commentator and owner of the Free Fighting Competition.
Zhou En decided that he absolutely had to win the championship in front of her.
How could this dream be so easily abandoned because of Li Hui's threats?
Zhou En clenched his fists tightly. For his dream, and for the humiliation he suffered today, he had to defeat Li Hui.
"Classmate, I've already called the infirmary staff." Indeed, Glasses girl was quite efficient; only about ten minutes had passed.
Zhou En looked up and saw Glasses girl running back, panting, followed by two doctors in white coats.
When the doctors saw Chubby lying on the ground, they didn't say a word and hurriedly placed him on a stretcher and carried him away.
This left Zhou En stunned. What about him?
He couldn't walk right now!
Zhou En said with a look of grief and indignation.
The girl beside him also noticed and smiled sheepishly at Zhou En, saying.
"How about I help you to the infirmary?" As she finished speaking, two blushes quickly appeared on both her cheeks.
Zhou En smiled sheepishly.
"Then thank you."
Hearing this, the girl shyly lowered her head and extended her small hand to help Zhou En stand up.
A warm sensation traveled up his arm, making Zhou En's heart flutter once again.
Zhou En's steps grew slower and slower, not because he was too badly injured, but because he wanted to walk with the girl a little longer.
"Coach, did you forget something?" Wu Min said to Liu Yu, who was about to slip away at the entrance of the school club.
Liu Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "Forget what?"
"Of course, it's that you lost the bet today and have to treat me to a meal," Wu Min said, feigning surprise.
"Alright," Liu Yu said helplessly, having no choice but to agree.
Afterward, under the gaze of a group of single people, Liu Yu and Wu Min strolled out of the club.
"Let's just find somewhere nearby to eat. I..." On the way, Liu Yu said to Wu Min beside her, while also looking around for a suitable restaurant.
But her words stopped abruptly because not far ahead, Liu Yu saw Zhou En walking closely with a girl.
Due to the distance, Liu Yu mistook Glasses girl helping Zhou En as an intimate gesture between lovers.
Liu Yu's heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer. She stood there blankly, not even hearing Wu Min calling out to her.
Is this what heartache feels like?
Liu Yu murmured softly.
The school's men's locker room.
Li Hui was a very clean person, so he always thoroughly washed himself after every training session.
The faint scent and slightly damp hair made passing girls pause to look.
"Did it succeed?" Li Hui asked casually as he walked towards Yue Hua and Scarface, who were not far ahead.
Upon hearing this, Yue Hua and Scarface couldn't help but lower their heads.
The former spoke, "Brother Li, I'm sorry."
This statement surprised Li Hui a little, as he rarely encountered anyone who could be his opponent.
"What happened?" Li Hui's expression darkened.
Yue Hua and Scarface exchanged a glance, and the former honestly recounted the entire incident.
After listening to Yue Hua's story, Li Hui's face showed a hint of displeasure. He had thought that he couldn't deal with Zhou En because Zhou En had some hidden trick up his sleeve.
It turned out that his two dimwitted subordinates, in an attempt to toy with Zhou En, had caused Zhou En to run to the edge of the small woods.
After Yue Hua finished speaking, he couldn't help but cautiously glance at Li Hui.
Li Hui said indifferently, "What do you plan to do about it?"
Yue Hua had already thought of a solution.
"Brother Li, we can find another opportunity to deal with this kid."
"Yeah, Brother Li, you know there are still three months until the official trainee selection. We'll definitely find a chance to get rid of this kid during this time."
Li Hui snorted coldly.
"Are you two idiots? After today's lesson, do you think Zhou En will give you another chance? Besides, this time others saw it, and it won't be so easy to cover up."
Yue Hua and Scarface both nodded meekly in agreement, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Li Hui paced back and forth in front of the two, his hands clasped behind his back, muttering, "Since this Zhou En isn't giving us an opportunity, then we'll create one."
Yue Hua and Scarface's eyes lit up at this. The former eagerly asked, "Brother Li, what should we do?"
Li Hui let out a cold snort, causing Yue Hua to break out in a cold sweat.
"You two fools, next time I'll personally lead people to kill Zhou En."
As soon as he said this, Yue Hua and Scarface gasped. They hadn't expected Zhou En to be such a significant threat to Brother Li.
