"Hmph, you want evidence, then we’ll get you so evidence." Mi Xue snorted coldly at Wen i’er and said to Xu Ke with great bravado.
However, Xu Ke didn’t pay her any attention. Instead, his eyes were fixed intently on Lin ngyao, making her ears turn red without stopping. It wasn’t until Lin ngyao reached out to push him gently and said softly, "Don’t put Mi Xue in an awkward position, just prove it."
"As you command." Xu Ke chuckled as he spoke, then withdrew all traces of amusent and looked at the man opposite him, speaking in an unhurried tone: "Do you want to admit it yourself, or do you want to admit it after a fight?" Xu Ke generously gave the other party a choice.
At a glance, Xu Ke didn’t seem to be soone who could fight, even appearing a bit weak. Thus, even though the man opposite didn’t feel confident in his heart, he still didn’t plan to give up and stood up with a heavy heart. He was nearly 1.9 ters tall, and the two stood facing each other across the table. Their builds seed quite similar, but with the man’s sowhat European features, his fierce glare made him look daunting, giving a much greater visual impact than Xu Ke.
"Having a nice al and then getting into a fight isn’t right. If soone gets hurt, it’s bad for everyone. Besides, you can tell just by looking, why test further? ngyao, we know you didn’t get along with each other during school, but now that we’re all adults, there’s no need to be so childish. Wen i’er is just doing a bit better than you. Even if you don’t want to offer congratulations, you don’t have to bring us bad luck." Soone at the table played the role of peacemaker but spoke partial words, making Mi Xue and Lin ngyao feel utterly disgusted.
"Seeing isn’t always believing; that’s sothing I’ll share with you." Xu Ke glanced coldly at the speaker, then gestured to the man, inviting him over. The two moved to an empty space in the private room. Those eager to watch the drama even helped clear away the clutter and decorations on the floor, giving the two enough space.
"The area is a bit small, but it’s enough to hit you. Once I start, I can’t stop, so before the match begins, I’m giving you a chance to back out." The man swallowed, arrogantly looking at Xu Ke and said, but his every unconscious gesture betrayed his lack of confidence.
Xu Ke looked amusedly at the man who, despite his apprehension, wanted to save face by picking a fight. Calmly, he said, "Don’t hold back, fight." Xu Ke stood still, giving the man a chance to attack.
Not far away, Wen i’er, who knew the truth, clenched her fists tightly, watching her man nervously and muttering encouragent under her breath.
The man took two deep breaths, knowing he couldn’t escape this fight, so he flung himself at Xu Ke with all his might, even forgetting to punch. Only when Xu Ke was nearly in front of him did he rember he was here to fight and not to run. But Xu Ke was already right there, and the hurriedly raised hand couldn’t reach that face he detested, only just aiming at Xu Ke’s chin. But this already made the man quite satisfied, thinking even if he couldn’t knock him out, drawing blood would suffice to prove he was the real one, and the other was just a fraud.
Idealistically, it seed full, but realistically, it was lean. The man saw an ambiguous smile appear on Xu Ke’s face, and the next second found the view retreating, and then his entire back slamd against the wall painfully, almost failing to breathe, nearly suffocating on the spot.
Everyone watched as Xu Ke threw a punch, and the over 100-pound man was sent flying, each with mouths agape, filled with disbelief. For a full thirty seconds, no one moved or spoke until the man started coughing painfully. Wen i’er scread and rushed toward the fallen man, bringing the others back to their senses, all looking at Xu Ke with shocked eyes.
"So, satisfied with my performance?" Xu Ke asked, returning to Lin ngyao’s side.
Lin ngyao looked at the man still lying there coughing but unable to stand, then at the eagerly expectant Xu Ke beside her, and said after so thought, "Pretty good, if you’d just held back a bit more, it would’ve been perfect. Are you sure you didn’t hurt him badly? Might he have broken bones?"
"No, I know my limits." Xu Ke said with a smile.
Those nearby who heard Xu Ke say this silently took a small step back. At that mont, they didn’t want to stand near this human weapon.
Having limits and still beating soone like that—one wonders how it’d look without limits. Truly a nace.
Lin ngyao ignored the actions of those around, only letting out a sigh of relief when she heard Xu Ke say he knew his limits and the person was fine, while Mi Xue discreetly gave Xu Ke a thumbs up and whispered, "Impressive, much better than , admirable."
The three stood sowhat isolated, quite apart from the others. Wen i’er squatted in front of the man, clueless but to cry, afraid to touch him for fearing worsening his injuries, though her waterproof makeup saved her appearance from becoming too ssy.
"Could you fucking stop crying, it’s giving a headache, hurry up and help up." The man struggled to extend his arm to Wen i’er, using her body to get up.
Never in his life had he suffered such a loss, such humiliation. This class reunion couldn’t continue for him, he’d already lost too much face, he couldn’t allow himself to be further embarrassed here.
"Let’s go." The man looked up directly into Xu Ke’s eyes.
Xu Ke felt a scorching gaze like fire burning onto him, so he turned around, eting the man’s eyes exactly, "You wait, I’ll definitely settle this grudge." The man said venomously.
He wanted to see what expression Xu Ke would have, but unexpectedly Xu Ke didn’t even plan to acknowledge him, not even batting an eye, instead returning his gaze to Lin ngyao, making the man shake with rage.
"Where to?" After the man’s words, Wen i’er asked, her voice tinged with a nasal sound.
"Outside, where else could it be, is your brain filled with water?" The man gritted his teeth in disappointnt, rembering today’s embarrassnt to bla Wen i’er. If not for her suggestion, would he have played the hero? Would he have been beaten? How did he even think of her, were his eyes blind?
Wen i’er didn’t yet realize the man harbored resentnt towards her, but following his words, she led him out of the room.
The banquet continued lively, not becoming cold due to anyone’s departure, just whenever anyone looked at Xu Ke, they couldn’t help but recall the scene of him sending the man flying with a punch, inevitably feeling a bit scared, leaving Lin ngyao and Mi Xue sowhat isolated.
