Chapter 168 - Saving A Beauty (2)
The result of the game left everyone astonished and baffled. While some knew that Lu Qingfeng was an ace player in his team, no one actually thought that he could beat Cai Lin in a one-on-one competition like this.
Ye Mingyu's face darkened once she saw that Cai Lin was utterly defeated by the younger Lu Qingfeng. At first, she only agreed to this because she only wished to see Su Xiaofei lower her head and beg for her mercy while kneeling on the ground. However, in the end, it was still her whom everyone deemed as laughable for relying on Cai Lin.
Lu Qingfeng was a black-hearted person, so how could he bear to see Su Xiaofei shamed because of him? He had known from the start how strong Cai Lin was, and he wanted to remind the young man that he wasn't the best and was out of touch with reality.
Because if Cai Lin truly paid attention to his surroundings, he would have known that he was being lured into a honey trap by Ye Mingyu. Now, he didn't even realize that he had lost so much face and crushed his own foot while defending that conniving young woman.
Cai Lin wanted to vomit blood right then and there. This was far from his expectations. How could he even face Ye Mingyu now that he had lost?
Meanwhile, the corner of Feng Xue'er's lips curled up into a mocking smile as she looked at her former fiancé's pitiful and pathetic appearance. However, this was far from enough compared to the humiliation and heartache she had suffered when he blatantly announced his undying love for Ye Mingyu to everyone, while discarding her as if she had no other use for him anymore.
"Karma has just bitten his ass hard. I didn't expect that Su Xiaofei's little husband could be this overbearing." Feng Yumeng said in a manner unbefitting of her status.
"It's his own fault. If he wanted to bully Su Xiaofei, he shouldn't have done it in front of Lu Qingfeng. Not many would offend Su Xiaofei in his presence." Feng Xue'er said as she glanced at Cai Lin, then to Ye Mingyu, who was still seated on the sidelines.
'Ye Mingyu, in the future, I will collect the debt you owe me at full price.' She thought, before leaving the court with her cousin.
As the spectators left the court, they were still engrossed in today's event. It was such an eye-opening event that proved just how outstanding Lu Qingfeng could be, while at the same time showing how mediocre and foolish Cai Lin was for even daring to challenge the younger man in order to humiliate Su Xiaofei.
The means that Lu Qingfeng used to deal with Cai Lin surprised everyone. He had dealt with him in a manner that not only stomped on Cai Lin's pride, but also established that no other men could harass Su Xiaofei in his presence.
Ye Mingyu lifted her gaze and found Su Xiaofei looking at her with a mocking smile on her face, which made her grit her teeth in frustration. However, she reigned her emotions as she couldn't allow anyone to see her ugly side.
Su Xiaofei was looking at her as if telling her, "See now? You think you're the only one with a man to protect you? Your Cai Lin couldn't be compared with my Lu Qingfeng. How's that?"
"Ah! Finally! Now that Lu Qingfeng has defeated Ye Mingyu's boy toy, the following days will be peaceful for us, Feifei." Xi Qian said as she stood up and stretched her arms above her head, allowing her muscles to stretch a bit after sitting for some time.
Su Xiaofei couldn't agree more with her best friend. Everyone had been made aware of the conditions of the challenge between Lu Qingfeng and Cai Lin today. If Cai Lin and Ye Mingyu still knew what shame was, they wouldn't dare to break their word and seek Su Xiaofei in the future.
"I really hope you are right, Qian, but I don't think Ye Mingyu will give up that easily."
Xi Qian scoffed and rested her hand on her hips and said, "Since Lu Qingfeng has already dealt with her boy toy, next time, I will be the one to kick her ass if she dares to annoy you."
Su Xiaofei's eyes glinted with amusement.
"If Qian is really this determined to protect me, how come you still haven't agreed to take the basic self-defense lessons with me? Mama has already found a good one where we could enroll after graduation." She told Xi Qian.
"Do I really have to?" Xi Qian asked, but when she remembered the eve of her birthday when Su Xiaofei beat the homeless man to a pulp when he dared to touch her inappropriately, she supposed she should learn some that she could use in the future.
"Okay. I agree, but only if you are there with me." She informed Su Xiaofei.
Su Xiaofei clapped her hands together and smiled. Enrolling herself in a self-defense class would not only give her a refresher on martial arts, but would also help her keep her body healthy by burning the excessive calories she had consumed lately. But until then, she would enjoy her sweets for now.
When they met Lu Qingfeng half an hour later outside the court, he was dressed in his usual school uniform again, with his hair slightly damp from taking a quick shower.
"I know you could win. Now, it's time to celebrate!"
Lu Qingfeng raised a slender brow at her and hummed.
"You mean that you are hungry, and you want me to treat you again? Su Xiaofei, you are getting bolder and too stingy these days. Why is it that when you are hungry, I have to be the one who needs to feed you?"
"Huh? Aren't you the one who told me not to starve myself? Now, you should take responsibility for it."
