"If you continue to cause trouble and try to disrupt the competition, I will have to ask you to leave and then report you to the school for disciplinary action."
The referee's brow furrowed even deeper.
She is a very serious person in her daily life and hates it when people are joking around with her in formal settings.
As a referee, of course I must respect every game.
This is the referee's duty.
She felt insulted by Xia Che's frivolous smile.
How can this kid laugh in such a serious setting?
And he even dyed his hair blonde, looking all sleazy...
A hint of disdain flashed in the referee's eyes.
The school uniform is actually from Weiyang School.
It's truly... hard to judge that the best high school in Jiang City could produce such a scoundrel.
"Xia Che, this is..."
Shen Yanxin noticed the black plastic bag Xia Che was carrying. The clever girl immediately understood, and her pretty face flushed red. She felt both sweet and shy.
It must be that thing, right?
I originally thought that Xia Che had gone to buy water and hadn't come back yet, and that he was going to miss his match.
result……
So you went to buy that thing for yourself?
The thought that Xia Che, who was clearly the school's top student, would buy such girly things for her made Shen Yanxin purse her lips. A touch of sweetness rose in her heart, which was weary from fighting for so long.
"I'll give it to you in a bit, please wait a moment."
Xia Che gave a wink, then stepped forward a few paces, past Wang Yue who was filled with admiration, and walked straight toward the referee.
What are you going to do?
The referee frowned even more deeply. Could this person not understand what he was saying?
"No... don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it."
"I just feel that this game seems a bit unfair."
"It would be better to pause for now."
Xia Che's smile deepened, and he took the opportunity to approach while they were talking.
He didn't lower his voice; it flowed slowly through the now quiet venue, reaching the ears of every student whose gossip spirit was burning brightly.
As expected!
Brother Dao is here to stand up for his girlfriend.
Previous rumors...
It's true!
"What are you pretending for..."
Li Junyang curled his lip in disdain. In terms of strength, he was definitely stronger than Xia Che.
Even he himself hasn't shown up yet, so why is Xia Che trying to take the lead?
Why don't you take a piss and see if you're even qualified?
"You useless good-for-nothing who only knows how to play the hero, just wait to be chased away like a dog and then get punished!"
Li Junyang sneered, his initial intention to stop them fading away.
Rather than stopping this conspicuous bag, Li Junyang was more interested in seeing Xia Che make a fool of himself in public.
If we stop them now, wouldn't that let Xia Che escape a disaster?
He crossed his arms, his cold smile growing even stronger.
"This is a competition! I'll be the one to judge whether it's fair or not. This student, this isn't a game. You'd better not bring your little schemes to the stage."
The referee has already decided that a thug like Xia Che must have read too many gangster novels, thinking that his act of acting impulsively for the sake of a woman is particularly cool, and that he has extensive connections and is an unparalleled genius who can even control the referee.
Shaking his head, the referee immediately planned to call security to take Xia Che out first, and then notify his teacher.
The best way to deal with this kind of delusional troll is to call him "teacher".
"Miss referee, you'd better take a look at this first."
At this moment, Xia Che had his back to the audience. After confirming that no one except the referee could see what he was holding, he opened a corner of the black plastic bag and showed it to the referee.
"This is……"
The referee paused, his finger froze as he dialed the number, and he subconsciously looked at Shen Yanxin.
As a woman herself, the referee was certainly no stranger to this kind of thing.
The referee noticed Shen Yanxin's strange behavior. This player, who had been able to dominate Wang Yue in the early stages, could have easily ended the match, but instead, she suddenly started circling around on the field, making the match seem like a farce.
The referee initially didn't know what had happened, but now she roughly understood.
"So... you said those things on purpose to save face for her, and took the blame upon yourself?"
The referee wasn't stupid either. Before, when she was in the office, she couldn't see things clearly, but now that she understood, she instantly grasped all the key points.
If I had stated the reason from the beginning, I would have immediately paused the match, giving Shen Yanxin time to deal with it.
but……
Besides being a contestant, she is also a girl.
How should I conduct myself at school from now on?
The referee, having been a student himself, knows that such embarrassing incidents can instantly become a source of spice in the otherwise mundane campus life.
The referee was well aware of the rumors and gossip that Shen Yanxin, who had become the center of students' gossip, would face.
Student life is inherently mundane; students live a life confined to their homes, spending most of their time at school. This leads to even the smallest incident becoming fodder for gossip, and students' malice towards gossip is... equally considerable.
The referee could even imagine what would happen to Shen Yanxin if word got out that she had gotten her period during the match.
"uh-huh."
Xia Che shrugged and winked at the referee with a wicked grin: "Anyway, my reputation at school is already bad enough, so it doesn't matter if it gets any worse. Shen Yanxin is a very good friend of mine, so of course I'll help her with this."
"You are a very good child."
The referee was over forty years old, so it wasn't a problem for him to call Xia Che "kid." Xia Che himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it either. He smiled slightly, handed the black plastic bag in his hand to the referee, then turned around, looked at Shen Yanxin, nodded slightly, and said with a faint smile, "Good luck."
"Um!"
Shen Yanxin was filled with gratitude.
For girls, if such an embarrassing situation is not handled properly, it will undoubtedly become a nightmare that the other person will never forget.
Clearly, Xia Che understood this as well.
Xia Che's solution perfectly resolved Shen Yanxin's embarrassment, preserving her face while keeping it a secret from everyone except a few people.
"Thank you. Have I caused you trouble again?"
Shen Yanxin rubbed her hands together, her face flushed, and her mind began to wander.
Xia Che solved the problem he encountered perfectly, but...
He also learned about his relatives' visit.
Let the person you like know that you're on your period...
It's still a bit awkward, isn't it?
"No need for that. There's no need for us to say these things."
Xia Che waved his hand. He hadn't done anything; he was just buying something. With his thick skin, he wouldn't be so embarrassed as to be unable to walk because he bought a sanitary napkin.
