"I'm sorry, this is my fault. Xiaofei did call me and said there was a bit of a situation with the car on the road. I didn't mention it to everyone. Li Jie, do you understand now? You're the one with too many issues," Li Qin said, deliberately glaring at Li Jie.
Sitting next to her, Chen Sisi pointed at Li Jie's forehead and said, "Sit still. Tonight is our women's night; you men better not say a word. Xiaofei, why don't you tell us what happened? I heard from Li Qin that you almost didn't want to come. Is that true?" As soon as Chen Sisi finished speaking, the other women urged Ye Xiaofei to share her story.
Ye Xiaofei smiled and recounted the incident where she was extorted earlier that day in vivid detail, as if telling a story. She praised Fei Hu's skills, saying that he was concerned about the car and her safety; otherwise, those people wouldn't have stood a chance against him. Just like men, women also hope for a strong partner, which was why Ye Xiaofei praised Fei Hu.
With so many young men around, everyone wanted to show off their strength in front of beautiful women. As soon as Ye Xiaofei finished speaking, the other women expressed their admiration, especially Li Qin. Fei Hu felt that her gaze towards him had changed; perhaps it was just his own sense of self-satisfaction.
While the women were discussing Fei Hu, Li Qin spoke up with a smile, "Xiaofei, you're exaggerating too much. I can't believe your Fei Hu has such great skills. Don't forget that Wang Jianwu and Liu Jian have been practicing martial arts since childhood and have learned from famous masters. Are you daring enough to let your Fei Hu spar with our two classmates?"
"Hey, what's there to be afraid of? I've seen Wang Jianwu and Liu Jian's performances; they are entertaining but not necessarily practical. If it comes down to it, I dare say that even together they wouldn't be a match for my Fei Hu," Ye Xiaofei replied, perhaps having had a bit too much to drink. On another note, women tend to have a bit of vanity; she meant that Fei Hu understood she wanted these wealthy young men who had studied abroad to see him in a different light.
"Hey, talking without action isn't worth much. Let's have a match so we can all see for ourselves. How about this: I'll be the judge tonight, and everyone can bet on the outcome. I'll set the odds first; if it's Fei Hu against both Wang Jianwu and Liu Jian at the same time, I'll offer 1:5 odds," Li Jie shouted as he stood up beside Chen Sisi.
At this point, Fei Hu finally put down his drink and slightly raised his head to see the two men smiling at him. Ye Xiaofei wrapped her arm around Fei Hu's neck and said with a laugh, "Just those two! The one on the left is Wang Jianwu and the one on the right is Liu Jian. Go for it, darling! You can definitely win against both of them."
Ye Xiaofei's affectionate display towards Fei Hu in front of everyone made any man want to prove himself for her sake. So Fei Hu stood up with a smile and said calmly, "Then let's exchange a few moves. But brothers, please don't laugh; I haven't received guidance from any famous masters—it's more like street style—but I can still show you a few moves."
When Wang Jianwu and Liu Jian heard this, they exchanged smiles and stood up to salute Fei Hu with cupped fists. Wang Jianwu laughed and said, "Modesty! Ye Xiaofei is no ordinary person; her boyfriend must be exceptional too. Do you want us to fight one-on-one or both at once? But if we win against you two together, it might feel like an unfair victory."
Fei Hu caught the implication in their words and was about to respond when Li Jie interrupted loudly: "What unfair victory? Ye Xiaofei already said it's one against two; that's what makes betting exciting! I think we should start right away—everyone get ready and clear some space for them!" With that, Li Jie rallied everyone into action as they hurriedly cleared an area on the rooftop.
Fei Hu stepped forward and finally got a clear look at Wang Jianwu. He was indeed someone who had practiced martial arts—of medium height, neither fat nor thin, and from the muscles protruding from his chest, Fei Hu could tell that this person had been training consistently. Liu Jian, on the other hand, was slender but had very tight muscles. If these two teamed up, Fei Hu would really have to be cautious.
"Hey, hey, hey! Everyone, don't just stand around! The betting starts now! Bet big to win big, bet small to win small. If you don't bet, you'll regret it when you see others counting their money later!" Li Jie shouted loudly, having somehow procured paper and a pen.
In no time, the atmosphere became lively as everyone gathered around Li Jie, shouting loudly: "I bet on Wang Jianwu and Liu Jian for 500!" The first to place a bet was Chen Sisi. With her excitement, more people began to join in. In just a little while, Li Jie was holding a thick stack of cash in his hands. Unfortunately for Fei Hu, no one was betting on him until finally, Li Qin decided to place a 500 bet on Fei Hu, possibly to support Ye Xiaofei.
Only Ye Xiaofei remained without a bet. Everyone turned their attention to her as she smiled at Li Jie and said, "Classmate, I’m afraid you might lose all your money tonight. I’ll bet a little less out of respect for Chen Sisi—5,000." This declaration drew gasps from the crowd; some began to murmur that Ye Xiaofei was playing with money.
Upon hearing this, Chen Sisi laughed and said, "Xiaofei, are you sending us a red envelope in advance? Then we won’t hold back!" Her words made everyone laugh. Fei Hu truly did not expect that this gathering would turn into a competition. Moreover, Ye Xiaofei placed such a large bet on him—not to win money from classmates but to give him an opportunity to perform well and regain some dignity in front of these wealthy second-generation students.
With the bets placed, there was no turning back. Fei Hu took off his shirt and wore only a white tank top. His strong muscles glistened under the lights. Wang Jianwu and Liu Jian merely loosened their collar buttons; it was clear they did not take this match seriously. They believed they were guaranteed to win against one person.
Fei Hu struck a pose and then shouted, "Sorry about this, brothers!" He leaped into the air suddenly and unleashed his fists like lightning—one punch aimed at each opponent. His speed was astonishing; the crowd gasped as Wang Jianwu and Liu Jian realized they had underestimated him. But it was too late—once Fei Hu's fists were out, he followed up with a series of sweeping kicks that were genuinely intimidating. Wang Jianwu and Liu Jian were immediately pushed back toward the edge of the building.
If Fei Hu continued his assault without giving them a chance to retaliate, they would have no choice but to jump off the roof. The arena fell silent as everyone recognized Wang Jianwu and Liu Jian's predicament. Just then, Fei Hu executed a backflip and landed in the center of the rooftop. It was evident even to those unfamiliar with martial arts that he had intentionally given them a chance.
Wang Jianwu awkwardly clasped his fists together and said, "Brother, I concede." He then launched into an attack using Bagua Palm while Liu Jian joined in with rapid kicks that echoed through the air. The tide of the match shifted dramatically; those who had placed heavy bets began to smile as Li Jie and Chen Sisi cheered loudly.
Li Qin patted Ye Xiaofei on the shoulder and said, "Fei, why aren’t you nervous? I think Fei Hu..."
"Ha ha! Don’t be nervous; the best part is yet to come," Ye Xiaofei replied confidently. The few female classmates standing nearby looked puzzled.
Just as Ye Xiaofei finished speaking, Fei Hu found himself cornered against the railing by Wang Jianwu and Liu Jian. These two showed no signs of holding back; they fought increasingly fiercely as if determined not to let Fei Hu give up. The spectators held their breath, eyes glued to the scene—it was indeed quite frightening. If Wang Jianwu and Liu Jian did not relent soon, Fei Hu would have no option but to jump off the roof.
At that moment, Fei Hu suddenly let out a long howl and leaped into the air. He kicked off from the ground, landing perfectly on the iron railing. Using the rebound from the railing, he shot forward like an arrow, moving with lightning speed. Fei Hu's hands, like a tiger's claws, simultaneously grabbed Wang Jianwu and Liu Jian by their necks. The match ended just like that. When everyone came to their senses, they realized that Fei Hu had already caught both Wang Jianwu and Liu Jian by their throats.
The outcome was clear at a glance, and gasps of surprise erupted from the audience. As Fei Hu released his grip, Wang Jianwu and Liu Jian clasped their fists together and said loudly, "Thank you for your mercy; we admit defeat."
The crowd erupted in excitement, still shaken by the thrilling match that had just taken place. The victory had turned around in an instant. At this moment, Li Qin shouted out, "Li Jie, give me money! I won! Haha, I'm so glad I believed in Xiaofei; this Fei Hu is truly amazing!"
Seeing Fei Hu with a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead, Ye Xiaofei tenderly wiped his face with a tissue and softly said, "Darling, you really made me proud tonight." Looking at Ye Xiaofei's happy expression, Fei Hu felt overjoyed. He never expected that participating in such an event would bring him closer to Ye Xiaofei. Moreover, she had started calling him "darling," which meant a lot to him.
"Ye Xiaofei, how could you not tell us you have such a heroic boyfriend? Now look what happened; I've lost all my money but still owe a few thousand!" Chen Sisi pouted with a dejected look.
"Don't call me poor; you have to accept your losses. If you don't have cash, just hand me a card," Ye Xiaofei replied confidently.
Li Qin quickly chimed in, "I can lend you money if you're short, but you can't shortchange Fei Hu." She glanced affectionately at Fei Hu as she spoke.
