Chapter 164 - Little Husband Went Mad (2)
Lu Qingfeng obviously wouldn't stand aside watching his woman getting bullied in front of him. Regardless if she had yet to give him a definite answer, he would never allow anyone to talk down to her. He gave Su Xiaofei a glance as if telling her that he would be the one dealing with Cai Lin.
Meanwhile, Cai Lin did not expect that Lu Qingfeng would stand up for Su Xiaofei. Everyone in the academy knew how close these two were, almost as if they were lovers. The only reason he rushed out to confront Su Xiaofei was to force her to apologize to Ye Mingyu.
However, this was the first time that Lu Qingfeng had vocally made a move to defend Su Xiaofei from someone. Some thought that he couldn't be bothered about trifling things that Su Xiaofei could deal with on her own. And it was because he never made any stand to protect Su Xiaofei before that some even assumed that he was merely there as her companion.
But this time, Lu Qingfeng was making a stand and challenging Cai Lin. What changed then? Cai Lin hadn't expected that it would end like this.
"Let's have a one on one basketball challenge. If Senior Cai wins, our Feifei will apologize to Ye Mingyu, but if I win…" His words trailed off, as his gaze sharpened.
"Senior Cai and Senior Ye should promise not to show themselves in front of us ever again."
Cai Lin was taken aback, but thinking about it, Lu Qingfeng's suggestion wasn't bad at all. He only needed to win, and this shameless Su Xiaofei would have no other choice but to swallow her pride and beg for Ye Mingyu's forgiveness.
"Since Junior Lu has spoken, there's no reason for this Senior not to comply."
Lu Qingfeng's lips curled up in a slight smile. He knew that Cai Lin wouldn't be able to decline his challenge when Ye Mingyu was involved in it.
"Then I look forward to the senior imparting some of his knowledge later."
It didn't take too long for the whole academy to become aware of the one on one basketball game between the two captains of their basketball teams. Both were known as outstanding players in their own divisions, but now that they were competing against each other, no one could tell who would win.
That afternoon, the court was filled with spectators who were curious to see who would win between the two. Many young ladies were blushing upon seeing Cai Lin in his black and red basketball uniform.
In the midst of the murmuring gossip among the crowd, Su Xiaofei smiled slightly. Knowing her childhood friend, Lu Qingfeng, wasn't a person to be trifled with and since he had challenged Cai Lin like this to protect her honor, it was certain that he would win this game against Cai Lin.
"Heh. Cai Lin just made a mistake provoking Su Xiaofei in front of Lu Qingfeng. It's obvious that he angered Su Xiaofei's little husband because of it."
"You have to give Ye Mingyu some credit, ah! Who would have thought that Cai Lin would confront Su Xiaofei to defend her?"
However, there were also some young women who sneered upon hearing that Lu Qingfeng had taken a stand to protect Su Xiaofei. They thought that Su Xiaofei was using Lu Qingfeng to defend herself from public scrutiny after what she had done to Ye Mingyu during the founding ball.
"It must be because Su Xiaofei has forced him. She is truly shameless."
"Right. If it was not because of her, would Lu Qingfeng lower his pride and challenge Cai Lin like this?"
Su Xiaofei didn't know of their discussion, but even if she were to know about it, she would only laugh it off, thinking of how foolish their reasoning were. Lu Qingfeng was a prideful and clever person. He wouldn't challenge Cai Lin if he knew he wouldn't win against him.
Why did Lu Qingfeng challenge Cai Lin? It was only for him to humiliate the older man and teach Cai Lin a lesson. She really didn't think that Lu Qingfeng was doing this for her sake, but rather, he was seeking amusement through Cai Lin's humiliation.
The entire audience seemed to know about the discord between Su Xiaofei and Ye Mingyu. It would be weird if one were still ignorant about the relationship between the two sisters with all that had happened so far. However, none of them thought that it would lead to Lu Qingfeng challenging Cai Lin to defend Su Xiaofei's honor.
When Lu Qingfeng arrived, dressed in his white and red uniform, many young women fawned over him.
Whether it was because Lu Qingfeng was defending Su Xiaofei or being compared to the younger man, Cai Lin furrowed his brow in annoyance. Because they both had striking appearances and were known as the ace players of their basketball teams, it was only natural that Cai Lin would be compared to Lu Qingfeng.
"Since it was Junior Lu who challenged me, Junior Lu must not say that I was bullying him later."
For Cai Lin to say something like this to Lu Qingfeng in front of everyone, it was like announcing that if Lu Qingfeng ended up losing face today, he could only blame himself for taking Su Xiaofei's side.
The corner of Lu Qingfeng's lips curled into a devilish smile, which somewhat reminded Su Xiaofei of the tyrant Lu Qingfeng she had seen in her previous life. It made her wonder if the sinister side of Lu Qingfeng had always been there and if she was the only one who had been oblivious to it.
"Senior Cai is worrying too much. Whether I lose or not today depends on whether you have the capability to defeat me." Lu Qingfeng's words were really sinister, it made Su Xiaofei snicker inwardly.
His words immediately made the smile on Cai Lin's face falter, but he didn't say more as the buzz sounded, indicating that their game was about to start.
