After Xia Tong left the arena, she was stunned for a long time.
He felt like he had done something bad.
He must be annoying when he threatens others... But for Zero, he'll be a bad guy! Zero has endured so much, so what if he gets scolded to death by Sabretooth Tiger's people? He doesn't care!
The hatch of the cocoon slowly rose. Xia Tong stood up from his seat and stretched out his upper body. He found that the other four cocoon hatches had been opened. His teammates were looking at him with either teasing or half-smiles.
"I..." Xia Tong suddenly realized that his teammates would not voluntarily leave the arena after their death, but would watch what he and the surviving opponents did from the perspective of bystanders, but they could not interfere.
In other words, everything he had just done...was actually known in detail by his teammates.
"Yes, I'm sorry!" Xia Tong's face flushed red. He apologized helplessly and hurriedly, "I gave up on my own initiative. I lacked competitive spirit. I also... abused my power for personal gain... I'm sorry!!"
"Oh, even the term 'abuse of power for personal gain' has come up. It seems Xia Xiaotong has learned a lot of idioms lately." Shi Ya waved her hand nonchalantly and chuckled, "It's okay. Just look at the shitty fight between Fire and Island just now. You can tell they didn't want to win a long time ago."
"Nonsense! Actually, if I could win without doing anything, I'd be quite happy with that!" Zhou Yanjun said shamelessly. "But compared to that, I'd still rather hear Sabertooth's group kneel down and apologize. Damn, that feels so good! It feels like visiting my grandfather's grave!"
Shi Ya’s face was full of disgust: “…What kind of hellish description is this?”
Bo Yu was even more succinct: "Well done for the apology."
Xia Tong finally felt relieved. He thought he had not made a mistake. Polaris was a very humane place, where people did not regard victory, defeat, fame and fortune as absolute values.
Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Mingfei with a smile, but found that Alpha had walked out of the cocoon cabin alone without saying a word, and strode out of the training room door with big strides.
"Z, Zero!" Xia Tong felt panicked. He had never seen Zero so silent and not greeting anyone. His back clearly showed a signal - he was angry.
Zero was angry because of what he did... angry.
It was as if someone had suddenly pinched the tip of her heart, breaking the skin. The pain was so sharp that Xia Tong was frightened and lost her mind. She hurriedly stepped out of the cocoon cabin and chased after him: "Zero, wait for me!!!"
His legs were short, so he had to jog all the way to catch up with Lin Mingfei. Lin Mingfei left unexpectedly and swiftly, pushing the door of the club and going out directly. Xia Tong was afraid that Lin Mingfei would run to a place where he could not find her, so he hurriedly pushed the door open and went out. The cold wind swept over him all at once, wrapping and piercing his whole body. The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors was astonishingly large. He shivered instantly from the cold and had to hug his arms tightly. He couldn't even speak clearly: "zzzzzero you...you choke——"
Lin Mingfei finally stopped. He still had his back to Xia Tong. His hands hanging at his sides slowly curled up, then suddenly clenched into fists. Finally, he turned back as if he had given up.
"What are you doing out here? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" He quickly approached Xia Tong and scolded her loudly, looking even angrier than before: "Go back, you hear me!"
Xia Tong finally caught his eye. The little omega's cheeks were red from the cold. He shivered in the wind, choking on the grievances rising up in his throat. The corners of his eyes were red, and tears were falling. "Why are you running? You know I can't catch up with you." He looked like a stuck tape, pitiful and funny. "I'm sorry, can't I?"
The word "apology" touched Lin Mingfei's heart. He really couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He took off his thin coat, wrapped Xia Tong, and pushed her back into the room.
Xia Tong's upper and lower teeth were already chattering with cold. After returning to the room, Lin Mingfei rubbed his frozen palms without saying a word, then got up and went to the kitchen to cut ginger and make soup for him.
"Z, zero..." Xia Tong saw that he was about to leave, and immediately stood up from the sofa worriedly, humming and sticking to him, opening her arms to hug Lin Mingfei's waist, and rubbing her face against Lin Mingfei's back like a puppy: "Don't be angry with me... Wuwuwuwu, I won't dare to do it next time, wuwuwuwu."
Lin Mingfei was trapped by him, her body unable to move, and the action of cutting ginger slices slowly stopped.
"I'm not..." He whispered, like a sigh, "I'm not mad at you."
"Then why did you run away and ignore me, wuwuwu!" Xia Tong asked sobbingly.
"I'm... I'm angry with myself." Lin Mingfei hesitated, clenched his teeth, slammed the knife on the chopping board, and said in annoyance.
"Why are you angry with yourself? You are so nice..." Xia Tong sobbed in confusion.
"I was wondering if I acted too incompetent...that's why you tried so hard to protect me." Lin Mingfei closed her eyes, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
Xia Tong was stunned by his question and said "ah" in a daze with a rising tone.
Obviously, Lin Mingfei's mind was more delicate, and what she thought of were things he had never thought of before.
"I... I didn't think that much." Xia Tong felt that her mind was at a loss. Since she didn't understand, she couldn't find a suitable answer to respond. She was getting more and more anxious, almost crying again. "You are very good to me, without any shortcomings. You are tall, handsome, have long legs, a good figure, smart, good at playing games, and handle things so steadily. You are so perfect. They still curse you behind your back, they are too much! Shouldn't they apologize to you for being too much? Wuuwuwuwuwu!!"
He spoke incoherently and cried out a big snot bubble, which burst out with a "poof". Lin Mingfei turned her head and saw it. The scene was too funny. Even though Lin Mingfei was feeling frustrated, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
It’s strange, how could I be praised so much by Xia Tong... and perfect, this filter is too outrageous, right?
But why would he be angry about something like this? Xia Tong was clearly a simple-minded, silly boy, expressing his likes and dislikes directly, with such a simple way that it melted people's hearts...
Lin Mingfei shook her head in self-mockery, feeling that she was possessed by a madman and that her reaction was too intense and excessive.
Perhaps it was because he had never received such frank and direct "protection" before, he felt very uncomfortable, so he immediately suspected that he had done something wrong again, causing Xia Tong to lose her sense of security.
But now he gradually began to understand that Xia Tong was not the kind of naive omega who was powerless. He had his own thoughts and pursuits, and he also wanted to help the people he cared about.
So... I am the one he cares about. Lin Mingfei secretly speculated happily, maybe I should change a little and accept Xia Tong's love, right?
Lin Mingfei took a deep breath, raised her hand and pulled out a few sheets of kitchen paper from the paper roll beside her. She folded them up, pressed them on Xia Tong's nose, pinched it, and wiped it hard twice. The little omega had delicate skin, and she whimpered and shrank back when he pinched her: "It hurts, it hurts..."
"I can't stand you anymore." Alpha complained in a feigned anger, "I don't care about winning or losing, but isn't it a bit too much for you to blow kisses to those Sabretooths in front of us?"
He had successfully diverted the attention of the single-celled organism Xia Xiaotong, who asked in a muffled voice, "What flying kiss...?"
"It's that 'mua'." Lin Mingfei scribbled it back and turned her head.
"Ah? That's called a flying kiss." Xia Tong said bewilderedly, "I was watching 'The Temptation of Returning Home' with Pang Pang before, and I saw the heroine in the movie often give the hero a 'mua'!"
Lin Mingfei: "...I'll go back and unplug Zhou Yanjun's connection."
"So you're not angry anymore?" Xia Tong still pulled at the corner of Lin Mingfei's clothes worriedly.
"I'm not angry anymore." Lin Mingfei shook her head, smiled, and said with deep emotion: "You don't have to accommodate me like this."
"I'm not trying to appease you. I'm just stupid and I always can't understand what you're saying... so—"
"No, it's not." Lin Mingfei interrupted him, her heart tingling with both heartache and affection. She said profoundly, "You're the smartest person I've ever met. If you see me lose my temper again, hit me with your fist. Hit me hard, and I'll know I'm wrong." As she spoke, Lin Mingfei clenched Xia Tong's five fingers in her palm, rolled them into a ball, and punched her chest: "Just like this."
Xia Tong blinked and burst into laughter: "I won't fight."
"Why? Can't you bear to see me hurt?" Lin Mingfei said with a smile.
"My hand hurts too." Xia Tong pouted and said, "You're too hard!"
Lin Mingfei smiled, "Okay, go sit on the sofa. I'll make you a bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold, otherwise you will catch a cold tomorrow." He smiled and patted Xia Tong's head, pushing the little omega into the living room.
Xia Tong obediently went to the living room, jumped onto the sofa and lay down, looking up at the window. A few white spots floated in the pure night sky, like a night elf that had sneaked out.
“It’s snowing!!!”
