Thanks to the official maintenance of the server, Lin Mingfei did not torture anyone from Polaris that night. The entire Polaris team, except Xia Tong, slept peacefully all night.
The next morning, Lin Mingfei woke up on time at the alarm clock he set. He has always been very self-disciplined and has no habit of staying in bed, so he washed his face and brushed his teeth at the exact time.
He changed into clean clothes and lazily opened the door while exercising his strong shoulder and neck muscles.
Anyone who just woke up early in the morning would be a little slow to react, and Lin Mingfei was no exception. He stared straight ahead, his eyes fixed on the spiral chandelier with a strong sense of design right above the living room. He didn't notice at all that there was a person in his blind spot.
So he took a step forward, facing Xia Tong, tripped over each other, and with a "boom", they both came into close contact with the corridor floor.
The feeling of weightlessness made Lin Mingfei wake up quickly. The moment he touched the ground, he supported himself with his hands and prevented the thin little thing below from suffering another gravity impact after falling.
As luck would have it, the bedroom door at the end of the corridor opened, and Shi Ya came out yawning while tying the belt of her nightgown. He glanced at her, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes instantly went from half-open to wide open, "What are you two doing?" His expression was like "an old man on the subway looking at his phone."
Lin Mingfei rolled her eyes slightly, then calmly lifted Xia Tong, whose face was bruised from the fall, up from the ground. "Push-ups, is that not okay?"
"Okay, okay..." Shi Ya stretched out a finger and poked Xia Tong: "But why did you press him down?"
"To increase the difficulty." At this moment, Lin Mingfei took the iron rule of "As long as I'm not embarrassed, then others will be embarrassed" to the extreme: "If I don't do it well, I will break the law."
Shi Ya: “…”
In this round of battle, Master Shi did not gain any advantage. He rolled his eyes and went back to the house to change his clothes.
Lin Mingfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to pull Xia Tong: "What are you doing so early in the morning? Blocking my bedroom door?"
"I..." Xia Tong rubbed the back of her head, then her waist and joints, her delicate features wrinkled into a ball, and she asked pitifully, "I just want to ask if you eat fried eggs with both sides up or one side up."
Lin Mingfei was stunned: "Huh?"
"Answer me!" Xia Tong tried to pull his arm and shake it again.
Lin Mingfei was struck by his cuteness and seemed to have lost the ability to think. She blurted out, "It's two-faced!"
Xia Tong cheered: "Great! Then do you want to add sugar or soy sauce?"
Just as Lin Mingfei was about to reply, she heard a loud bang from the bedroom next door. Zhou Yanjun, that pig, burst out of the door and shouted excitedly, "Of course it's sugar! Honey is the best! It's absolutely amazing with a poached egg!"
"......" Lin Mingfei said with a twitching mouth, as if she had seen a monster: "Eating fried eggs with sugar and honey?? What country are you from, pervert?? You always eat fried eggs with soy sauce, okay??"
"Damn it!" Zhou Yanjun immediately protested, "I don't just eat poached eggs with sugar and honey! I also eat fried dough sticks with sugar and honey! Do you have any objections?"
"..." Lin Mingfei's Adam's apple rolled up and down. He probably tried to imagine the sweet combination, and his expression gradually twisted. "No, I'm going to vomit."
Zhou Yanjun was furious: "What do you mean?! Just because I'm a sweet fan, you disgust me, don't you?!"
Lin Mingfei gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want to fight with a pervert. Get out of here!"
Xia Tong looked left and right, wondering why her attempt to fry an egg had triggered such an astonishing battle.
Zhou Yanjun was still trying to justify his taste, so he grabbed Xia Tong and said, "Dwarf! Did you fry an egg? Listen to me, add sugar and honey! It's so delicious! Slurp!"
Xia Tong backed away, wriggling out of Zhou Yanjun's fat grasp with a dry laugh. "Hehe... I've decided to go get some soy sauce! Sorry, Fatty!" He then sprinted downstairs, leaving Zhou Yanjun standing all alone in the corridor. He raged, "You have no taste! Xia Xiaotong!"
Starting from the double-sided fried egg drizzled with seafood sauce, Lin Mingfei clearly felt that Xia Tong seemed like a different person after waking up from a nap.
Not to mention that she personally made breakfast for him, and during breakfast she actively handed him chopsticks and tissues, and asked him about his well-being in every possible way. When he finally had some free time, the little omega held his chin with his hands, tilted his head and gave Lin Mingfei a sweet and innocent smile.
At first, Lin Mingfei felt flattered, and his heart was filled with sweet joy. But as time went on, his scalp tingled more and more.
"Xia Xiaotong." His hand holding the coffee cup trembled slightly. "If you keep smiling at me like that, I'll suspect you've seen my medical report in advance."
Xia Tong was confused: "Huh?"
Lin Mingfei: "...Am I going to die soon?"
Xia Tong was furious when she heard this. She stood up and covered his mouth. "I don't allow you to say that about yourself! Zero, you must always have hope for yourself! You are the best! Protect the best Zero!!"
There was a complete silence at the table.
Shi Ya: "...I also think he might have peeked at Zero's medical report."
Zhou Yanjun: "...Did he hit his head somewhere? I heard a 'bang' this morning."
Bo Yu: "...Has he ever been in contact with any pyramid scheme organization?"
Lin Mingfei struggled to free herself from the clutches of the little omega, then glared fiercely at the teammates around her who were watching the fun and not minding the trouble: "What are you looking at? What's so good about it?"
Shi Ya drawled, "I'm looking at the light of hope emanating from you—"
Zhou Yanjun said sarcastically: "You are the best Zero——"
Bo Yu paused for a long time, then tentatively added: "...Protect the best Zero?"
Lin Mingfei: “…”
These guys were obviously seeking revenge for a few words spoken in the morning. Lin Mingfei was so annoyed by them that she pushed her chair aside and stood up to leave. She just saw He Youjin coming in from the gate of the base.
"I finally got a training match date scheduled with Zhao Xin!" He Youjin announced cheerfully as he untied his scarf. "Tomorrow night at 7:00 PM, we'll have a 5v5 online arena match with Sabretooth's current players: Dylan, Molan, Goblin, Yoyo, and Robin King. Unlike last time, this will be a traditional training match. There won't be a live stream, and all details will be kept secret. It's a Bo5 format, so you can play however you want. Let go of all the pressure and baggage, and have a real tactical and technical exchange with Sabretooth."
"Wow, does this mean it doesn't matter if you lose?" Zhou Yanjun said.
"For a team like us like the Withering, losing is of course not a big deal. We don't have egos or millions of dollars worth of stuff anyway." Shi Ya said with a half-smile, "But it's different for Sabertooth, right?"
"Of course not. Winning and losing are so important in their team." Lin Mingfei raised her lips slightly. "It's not just about winning or losing, but also about everyone's performance in a game. It's all tied to things like substitutes and personal endorsements. I've always felt that this system is bad and poses a huge safety risk."
"Yes, after all, Wang Ling is a teamwork game. If someone wants to be the red flower, there must be someone to be the green leaf. If someone wants to accumulate strength and then make a breakthrough, there must be someone who always rushes to the front. If everyone wants to be a hero and be the MVP, there will be no way to play." Bo Yu whispered.
"Perhaps in their team's eyes, this is a mechanism of healthy competition, and they think that everyone in our team is hopeless." Lin Mingfei shrugged: "But, whatever."
