Chapter 53 The Riddler
Wu Feng was dumbfounded. How am I supposed to fight like this?
Ning Tian waved her hands, nodded to Nanmen Yun'er, then turned to her and said helplessly, "Xiao Feng, let's not fight anymore, let's just admit defeat. This bad guy has been playing us for a long time!" As she spoke, she specifically pointed to Huo Yuhao standing next to her.
Huo Yuhao was momentarily speechless, glancing at Ning Tian with a dark expression. Unexpectedly, this seemingly dignified, elegant, and intelligent young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School winked at him with an innocent look.
How could you call me a bad guy to my face? No way! I need to get more rare metals from now on!
Wu Feng froze on the spot, completely bewildered.
Who am I? Where am I? How come I lost before we even really started playing?
The teacher, acting as the referee, wouldn't give Wu Feng any extra time to think. As soon as he heard Ning Tian say he wanted to concede, he blew his whistle and announced, "Class 1, Huo Yuhao's team wins."
As he was about to leave the stage, Huo Yuhao patted Ning Tian on the shoulder, a gentle and sincere smile appearing on his lips.
"Let's have a meal together after the competition, you guys come too."
Ning Tian smoothed a strand of hair at her temple, gave him a tender, watery look, and nodded with a light laugh, saying, "Okay, I'll tell them when we get back."
Just as things were coming to an end with Ning Tian, Huo Yuhao turned around and was met with two pairs of eyes: one was Wang Dong, and the other was Xiao Xiao.
Without a doubt, Huo Yuhao understood what the two meant. With a bitter face, he forced himself to follow them out of the assessment area.
After the match, just as the sun was about to set, the three of them started to get hungry. To appease the two, Huo Yuhao suggested going to the shore of Poseidon Lake for a barbecue. Although Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao still had some complaints about him, their bodies betrayed their words and they followed Huo Yuhao there.
Huo Yuhao satisfied the two girls' appetites with all the delicious food he could find, thus granting them a pardon and ending their brief period of shared hatred and solidarity against a common enemy.
Just when Huo Yuhao thought things were finally over, Xiao Xiao suddenly ran away and openly took Wang Dong's hand right in front of him, instantly igniting Wang Dong's jealousy.
Because the incident happened so suddenly and Xiao Xiao acted so quickly, he didn't even have time to activate the simulation!
Witnessing Xiao Xiao's bold attempt to assert her dominance, Wang Dong was instantly enraged, her face turning red. However, because she was now identified as a male and Huo Yuhao's good friend, she lacked a suitable reason to challenge Xiao Xiao. She was now in an awkward position, caught between a rock and a hard place.
Perhaps unable to tolerate this blatant attack, Wang Dong opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing. He simply released his magnificent butterfly wings and fled.
Huo Yuhao was at a loss for words. Chasing after him seemed like an option, but not chasing him seemed equally problematic. He turned to look at Xiao Xiao, whose expression was strange, and sighed softly before falling silent.
Watching Wang Dong leave, Xiao Xiao finally couldn't help but squeeze Huo Yuhao's hand and ask疑惑地问道, "Wang Dong...does he...like you?"
Huo Yuhao didn't know how to answer. If he explained the situation to Xiao Xiao directly before confronting Wang Dong, the problem would undoubtedly become more complicated. But if he didn't say anything, Xiao Xiao would go further and further astray in her misunderstanding, which was also not a good idea.
After a moment of silence, Huo Yuhao decided to play the riddle-maker!
"His situation is very special, and I don't know how to tell you. Besides, this matter involves Wang Dong's privacy, and I can't go around saying things without his consent. Xiao Xiao, I can only tell you that our relationship isn't what you think, and my orientation is perfectly normal. I will explain the situation to you when the time is right."
Xiao Xiao listened for a while, completely confused. She didn't understand what Huo Yuhao was talking about, but now was clearly not the time to pry. Besides, if a girl wanted to win over a boy she liked, she absolutely couldn't put pressure on him!
Xiao Xiao understood this principle well and was determined to be a kind and understanding girl. Taking advantage of the opportunity when no one was around, she snuggled into Huo Yuhao's arms, then raised her little head and took the initiative with a smile, leaving a light kiss on Huo Yuhao's cheek with lightning speed.
Caught completely off guard, Huo Yuhao was subjected to such a sneak attack! He had never experienced such a shock before!
His face flushed red, his eyes darted around, and even his lips began to tingle slightly. Huo Yuhao froze, not daring to move an inch. But how could a young man with such passion suppress himself?
Huo Yuhao was stunned. Without hesitation, he shakily reached out and grabbed Xiao Xiao's shoulders, pushing her away.
However, Xiao Xiao, a young woman in her prime, had already sensed that strange feeling before he made a move. Her fair and delicate face was already flushed, and even her ears were burning hot.
Neither of them knew what to do, so they remained frozen in place in this strange posture.
After a long while, the blush on Xiao Xiao's face gradually subsided. She gently removed Huo Yuhao's large hand from her shoulder, calmed her rapidly beating heart, and then said, "It's getting late, we should go back. And you should check on Wang Dong too, right?"
Huo Yuhao had calmed down by now, and he understood what Xiao Xiao was saying. After all, there was a match tomorrow, and it wouldn't be good for the three of them to have such a strained relationship. He needed to appease Wang Dong properly.
"Let's go back to the dormitory."
After leaving Haishen Lake, Wang Dong rushed back to his dormitory, locked the door, drew the curtains and bed curtains, and huddled under the covers, curling up into a ball.
From childhood to adulthood, Wang Dong'er had never suffered such humiliation! But she was completely helpless! If she didn't confess directly, Xiao Xiao would successfully run away! Behind her were the twin sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, who were coming on strong, and today, Ning Tian, the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, was also eyeing her covetously. She was utterly desperate.
But once the truth comes out, what will Huo Yuhao think of her? Will she still be able to stay in this dormitory? Wang Dong'er doesn't know.
"It's all because of that big bad guy Huo Yuhao! He's always flirting with other women, a complete scumbag who starts relationships and then abandons them, is always looking for something new and then gets bored, is greedy and insatiable!" While cursing, Wang Dong'er opened her mouth wide and bit her pillow, as if she were biting Huo Yuhao, fierce, menacing, and baring her teeth.
Then suddenly, with a creak, the dormitory door opened.
I thought the system would freeze me, so I posted it early.
