By the ti they left, it was already late.
The others were bursting with enthusiasm and invited the two of them to visit the night market.
But Xia Ye refused, saying they should head back to the hotel early.
And so they parted ways with the large group.
On the way back, Lu Yinxing was silent, looking sowhat displeased.
Xia Ye asked, "What’s wrong?"
Lu Yinxing didn’t know why, but she was just generally unhappy.
Images of Xia Ye chatting happily with Shen Fei Lin kept surfacing in her mind.
But Lu Yinxing couldn’t lose her temper.
If Lu Yinxing admitted she was a bit jealous, Xia Ye would probably think she was petty.
The relationship between the two of them hadn’t even started.
Their interactions were always by-the-book, so why would she be jealous?
Yet for so reason, Lu Yinxing had an inexplicable animosity towards Shen Fei Lin.
Even if Lu Yinxing acknowledged Shen Fei Lin was quite outstanding.
Lu Yinxing said nothing, just awkwardly kept walking ahead.
Xia Ye felt rather puzzled.
He caught up and grabbed Lu Yinxing’s hand, "Slow down, don’t lose again."
Xia Ye’s palm was warm.
In an instant, Lu Yinxing felt her actions were unnecessary.
She had been through quite a lot.
She had even tried pushing Xia Ye towards Lin Zhi.
But the results were not what she had imagined.
Besides, Lu Yinxing knew very well about Xia Ye’s nature.
Even if a beauty is eager, the prince might not be willing.
Thinking like this, Lu Yinxing realized she was worrying unnecessarily and suddenly felt happy again.
Hand in hand, they returned to the hotel.
The next day was the competition.
Lu Yinxing didn’t know much about the competition.
She ca over thinking it was just a vacation.
Lu Yinxing hadn’t paid much attention to the competition, especially since Xia Ye hadn’t either.
Later, Lu Yinxing learned that it was actually quite a big deal.
It was a knockout competition.
Opponents were drawn randomly and eliminated.
The winner would continue to compete with others who have also won, until one champion was determined.
The champion would receive a substantial prize.
They were not interested in the money at all.
But Lu Yinxing didn’t know that a Go competition could last so long.
In the first match, Xia Ye drew an opponent from South Korea.
They competed for five hours.
Unexpectedly, Xia Ye won in the end.
The competition was held at the hotel.
Lu Yinxing wasn’t allowed to watch, so she waited outside initially.
Growing bored from waiting, she eventually went back to her room to take a nap.
When she woke up, the match was still ongoing.
Finally, by afternoon, the match ended.
Lu Yinxing felt exhausted on their behalf.
As Xia Ye walked out, he remained expressionless.
Many dia outlets had been waiting at the entrance hall.
As soon as they ca out, there was a frenzy of photo-taking, and reporters bombarded them with questions.
The South Korean opponent looked visibly exhausted.
Xia Ye saw Lu Yinxing and walked straight over to her.
Security blocked all the reporters and escorted the two of them back to their hotel room.
As soon as Xia Ye entered the room, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Lu Yinxing knew he must be very tired.
Five hours of intense ntal effort would exhaust anyone.
Lu Yinxing didn’t want to disturb him.
Although her stomach was already growling from hunger.
But with Xia Ye asleep, they missed the hotel’s buffet ti.
