As soon as they reached the Taekwondo Club, they heard all kinds of laughter coming from inside.
Every so often, they also heard a few coquettish squeals that could only have come from girls.
"Wow... Sounds like things are getting pretty heated in there," Xu Yi said in surprise.
Little Fatty clenched his fists. "That's my girlfriend's voice! Damn it... You bunch of animals!"
His whole body was trembling violently. It was obvious he was truly furious.
"Don't worry, Cuckold Fatty. It's just your girlfriend getting stolen.
Sure, the guy does sports, so his stamina's out of the ordinary. The bike you were too timid to ride, he's standing up to pedal."

"Stop! Now I'm even more upset. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache with longing."
"I'm trying to comfort you."
"Is that how you comfort people?"
"Uh... Look on the bright side. At least your girlfriend's suffering too. If someone stands up to pedal that bike, it can't exactly be comfortable!"
Aaaah!

Little Fatty was completely broken.
But the Streamer Friends were having a great time.
Xu Yi sure knew how to comfort someone. He knew exactly what to say to hurt the most.
You're all laughing, while I'm the one crying. I have a friend who really went through something like this. My heart aches for him. Boohoo...
If I'd been a delinquent in middle school, a sports student in high school, become a rapper in college, served two years as a conscript after graduating, then become an instructor after leaving the army, and finally switched to esports when that didn't work out... would I be able to find a girlfriend?
All I can say is, bro, you've lived quite a life! Don't worry about finding a girlfriend. Worry more about your kidneys.
Heh~ What if I got a tan and spoke fluent English, then told every girl I met that her eyes were as beautiful as the stars? How would you respond to that?
Can't compete. There's really no competing with that.
Xu Yi kept comforting Cuckold Fatty for several more minutes, making sure he was thoroughly broken before leading him into the Taekwondo Club.
Why did he have to make sure Little Fatty was broken?
Of course, it was so he could turn his grief into strength and launch an even fiercer revenge on behalf of the cuckold army.
With Little Fatty's size, even without martial arts training, he could take on several people at once.
The real problem was that he was too timid. If he'd been a little more manly, a little braver, his girlfriend wouldn't have left him.
What?
You're saying I did it for those Emotion Points?
Say that again. (Husky pointing meme.jpg)
"You?"
The moment the two sides met, the air crackled with hostility.
But Little Fatty's slightly trembling legs gave him away.
"Fatso, what are you doing here? Haven't you been beaten up enough already?"
"I... I've had enough."
Xu Yi made an entire foreigner-facepalm.jpg expression.
"Come on, man, stand tall. Don't embarrass yourself!" Xu Yi encouraged him.
"But there are so many of them. Besides, you're the hired fighter I brought along. Shouldn't you be the one to handle them?"
Xu Yi shook his head and said earnestly, "Beating them would be easy for me. It'd take a minute."
"A minute to get beaten down by them?" Little Fatty shot back.
"Shut up! Beating them would be easy for me. I'm doing this so you can stand on your own two feet and overcome your inner demons. Just show your girlfriend how domineering you can be, and she'll come crawling back in no time!"
"R-Really?"
"Really. Girls are attracted to strength. You're so weak, so who'd want to be with you?"
After listening to Xu Yi's brainwashing, Little Fatty's eyes turned unwaveringly resolute.
"Okay!"
"Let me be brave one more time—for the sake of... love!"
Little Fatty faced the crowd, his eyes fierce. "Listen up! I'm here to take back everything I lost!"
What a cringey line.
"Give me back my girlfriend!"
Silence~
The entire room fell silent~
The Taekwondo Club members looked at him with pity, and with the sort of expression people usually reserved for idiots.
The club president, who was leading them, said helplessly, "Bro, it's not that I don't want to give her back. It's just that your girlfriend's like a piece of flypaper—she won't let go no matter how hard I try to shake her off."
Sure enough, the girl was acting like a lovesick fool, both arms wrapped around the president's.
Cuckold Fatty: "???"
"Lily... I don't believe it! Did you cast some spell on her? You must've used some kind of dark magic to keep her from leaving."
Jin Wang sighed. "I didn't. Don't underestimate a man's post-nut clarity, okay?"

Little Fatty could hardly believe his ears. "You... you two?"
"Yeah, we did it. It was okay."
Ah!
Little Fatty felt as if he'd fallen into an icy abyss. He could almost hear a flock of sheep bleating above his head.
Jin Wang: "Don't believe me? See for yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Wang slapped Lily across the face.
"Get lost. I'm sick of you. Your boyfriend just showed up, so go back with him."
Lily glanced at Little Fatty, undisguised disgust in her eyes.
"He's been my ex-boyfriend for ages. You're my boyfriend, darling."
"Get lost. I haven't even said I'd make it official with you. Don't go making things up."
Jin Wang shot him a disdainful glance. "See? It's not my fault. I can't get rid of her.
Bro... You don't feed this dog enough at home, do you?"
"You... You..."
Little Fatty was shaking with rage and couldn't even get his words out.
One act of courage, a lifetime of regret.
Animals!
Even Xu Yi couldn't stand watching anymore. What had his buddy Fatty done wrong?
Why humiliate him like this?
Wait, did she really not get enough to eat?
Sigh... I just happen to have a homemade little potion for that.
A playful smile tugged at Jin Wang's lips. "If you're done here, hurry up and leave. Traditional martial arts are trash, and people who practice them are trash too. Put two and two together, and... practicing traditional martial arts makes you a cripple."
"Ha ha ha ha..."
The other club members burst out laughing.
"I'll kill you!"
Those words were the final spark, setting off the powder keg inside Little Fatty.
Before anyone could react, he charged at Jin Wang like a raging bull.
Thud~
Jin Wang hadn't been ready for it and was knocked to the ground.
Little Fatty threw his whole weight on top of him, nearly squeezing the shit right out of him.
The other club members rushed over, pulling Little Fatty off and holding him back.
"Ptooey!"
Jin Wang's sneer was gone. His face darkened as he glared viciously at Xu Yi and Little Fatty.
"Close the doors!"
"If you two walk out of here on your own two feet today, I'll change my name!"
Little Fatty smiled and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Bro, you were right. Some inner demons you have to deal with yourself. That felt great.
Sorry for dragging you into this, though. I'll try to draw their fire. Take advantage of the chaos and get out.
I'll send you the two-thousand-yuan deposit as soon as I'm out."
Xu Yi smiled without saying anything. Instead, he reached out and pulled Little Fatty to his feet.
"Rule one for freelancers: no zero-star reviews. You have to take the boss's job seriously and see it through."
Little Fatty froze, but still objected. "Don't. It's just two thousand yuan. Why risk your life over it? I'll add another five hundred."
Jin Wang laughed in anger. "Fine, fine. If even one of you gets out of here today, I'll be this tall."
He held up his pinky.
"I've trained in traditional martial arts too, so hearing you put it down like that really pisses me off," Xu Yi said coldly.
"Oh? You've trained too? Then let's have a one-on-one. I'll give you a chance to prove traditional martial arts are any good," Jin Wang said disdainfully.
Lily looked at him with contempt. "Traditional martial arts can't compare to Taekwondo. I wasted so many years practicing them.
Now that I've started learning Taekwondo, I've realized Korean culture is the best."
Xu Yi couldn't be bothered to listen to her blathering and immediately made a call.
Jin Wang: "What, can't fight, so you're calling for backup? Too bad for you. Our Taekwondo Club is the strongest in the whole school."
