"Ah, ah." Feng Ruye teased Wei Shengfan in his usual magnetic yet provocative tone: "I just went to the bathroom, and you're already panting like this and sweating profusely—don't you have a fiancée?"
"Huh? What does my having a fiancée have to do with this—" Wei Shengfan snorted coldly: "Do you think everyone is like you, with their heads full of obscene thoughts?"
"I think you should ask your fiancée to wipe your sweat. Is that a lewd thought? Come to think of it, doesn't the school always have physiology and hygiene classes? Besides, this isn't a school where boys and girls are taught separately and treat each other like monsters. Wiping your sweat can make Young Master Weisheng so nervous... isn't that a bit too innocent?"
Feng Ruye had a rather cunning, even naughty smile on his face.
Wei Shengfan glared at Feng Ruyue, but Feng Ruyue turned his head away as if he didn't see anything.
"So—after some thought, Luo Dongxia, how has he decided on the competition?"
"Just use various equipment already available on the market. This way, no one will have to complain later about the other party having different information in advance. I originally thought that being able to adapt to the times is a good thing, but if it were done now, it would be like using a pistol to compete with Gong Yitian and the young master in swordsmanship." Chu Shangli played with his hair with his fingers. "It's not a big deal. It's obviously technically superior, but it's too arrogant to act like it's your own unique advantage. It's not like Young Master Gongyi can't use a pistol. It's just that everyone has their own rules-"
"No—" Wei Shengfan expressed strong resistance. "We've already decided on something, but you suddenly changed your mind. Doesn't that disrupt Ali's original plan? Ali originally wanted to defeat you with her brilliant intuition and talent after you learned the relevant knowledge, and she operated blindly. But now you've changed to a traditional approach. Doesn't this downgrade Ali's victory?"
"Are you so sure that the young lady will win?" Chu Shangli sneered. "In that case, I can't just take the bait. I'm afraid that after all this hard work, I'll end up making things easier for others."
"Are you saying you don't want to compete anymore? Are you afraid that all your previous victories will be attributed to me defeating you? This is different from your previous competition with Chu Moyin. Chu Moyin beat you that time, and you could say you owed her and let her win. This time, that excuse won't work. Are you afraid of being exposed and wanting to back down?"
My past self made a similar gesture, stroking my temples—
Feng Ruyue's gaze shifted between the two of them - even behind his glasses, Chu Shangli felt a sharpness in his gaze, as if it was going to pierce his heart.
"Well, after all, you changed your mind after just learning how to operate the instrument. I can't blame you for backing down here. You were provoking me before, but now you seem to have lost your formidable aura."
"Indeed, I am a little scared." Chu Shangli raised his hand and patted the instrument. "My lady is from one of the famous families in the empire. I believe what you say. You think I am a little too foolish. After all, I am learning it today and I assume that you have never used it once. If the real situation is the opposite, then I will suffer. The other party - that is, my lady, not only took advantage of you, but you must also be playing nice. Why should I let you take advantage of this convenience in vain?"
