Zhou Wenhua had been coming to the shop looking for Xi Xinxin every few days, but hadn't seen her. After inquiring, he learned that the girl had gone to school, and when he found out which school she attended, he was astonished. She was so young, yet so courageous and academically excellent. He also learned that Xi Xinxin only came back occasionally on weekends. Zhou Wenhua could only come to check on her again on weekends.

Zhouzhou hadn't seen Xixinxin for a long time. Recently, only Meiqing had come to tutor her on weekends. Thanks to Meiqing, Xixinxin got excellent grades at the beginning of the semester and solidified her reputation as a top student in the class. She was no longer as relaxed as usual during tutoring sessions.

After all, she still needs the vanity of being praised for her good grades.

Guan Jing sat in his chair, fiddling with his electric guitar, looking somewhat worried. Recently, a deadbeat came in and said that since the shop claimed to help people in need for free, it should help him make a lot of money.

He offered to fund the man's business venture, promising to invest in the store if it succeeded. Guan Jing initially tried to appease him, but the man was relentless, even causing trouble in the store one day. Luckily, Xi Xinxin had previously hired two people to kick the deadbeat out, which calmed him down for a while. Guan Jing estimated the deadbeat would return in a few days. He hadn't yet come up with a solution.

I've also contacted Xi Xinxin, and she said she'll come back to resolve this after her "slap in the face" competition ends. A "slap in the face" competition? Do universities still have these kinds of activities?

The so-called "face-slapping competition" is, of course, the agreed-upon skateboarding competition.

On the basketball court, a crowd had already gathered. Over there were four beautiful girls, including Xi Xinxin. Over there were Lin Jie and Lu Xuanfan; it has to be said that the two of them were quite famous and had some female fans.

Lin Jie was confident of victory, so quite a few people already knew about the skateboarding competition. Yan Liang's post also introduced Xi Xinxin to most people.

Everyone was watching from a short distance, eager to see who would come out on top.

Lin Jie started first, lightly kicking the skateboard with his toes, turning it 360° and placing both feet on it. At first, he just glided normally, then shifted his weight back, and the skateboard instantly started to spin left and right while gliding. He paused slightly, then started gliding again, jumped, and the skateboard spun again before finally landing steadily on the skateboard.

He whistled.

Xi Xinxin ignored him and skated a lap without much fanfare. Lin Jie shouted, "You've only learned how to skate after a month!"

Xi Xinxin immediately changed direction and slid down the stairs, leaping up, her skateboard spinning, landing steadily as if there were no stairs in front of her at all. Another flight of stairs! Ahead was a large rock obstacle. Xi Xinxin once again glided over it with her skateboard.

Now it was Lin Jie's turn to be incredulous: "You? You're lying! How could you have just learned this!"

The club president stepped forward: "Lin Jie is truly a beginner, a genius! I plan to graduate and then she will be the next club president!"

The club president didn't notice Lin Jie's unpleasant expression. Lu Xuanfan, despite his resentment, could only quietly console him: "Never mind, consider it giving in to the girl."

Lin Jie, following Lu Xuanfan's words, pretended to say, "It's quite impressive that you, as a girl, have achieved this level in just one month. Well then, you win today."

This was just him trying to save face and show off his magnanimity. Xi Xinxin wouldn't let him get away with it: "It still has to be you, senior. I don't think I did very well just now. Senior, please take a look."

All eyes were fixed on Lin Jie, who had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. He ended up falling flat on his face while jumping down the stairs.

He stood up: "Actually, it was a mistake. Mistakes happen all the time with skateboards."

He could only console himself with these words. Xi Xinxin stopped making things difficult for him, given that so many people were watching the competition. Lin Jie had no choice but to swallow his anger.

"Girls can't do it." "You can't because you're a girl." "You don't have the talent because you're a girl." These are all excuses that arrogant men use. They don't realize how powerless they truly are. Yet they insist on saying platitudes to save face.

Is it shameful to lose to a girl? If his opponent is male, he'll just say "I'm conceding, I'm conceding." But when the gender is reversed, he refuses to acknowledge how good the girl is. It's really infuriating.

Xi Xinxin leaned closer to Lin Jie and said, "What? Am I more talented than you?"
