Situ Qiong said, “Alright. We’ll meet in Q University’s training room an hour from now. Give me some time to prepare, alright?”
Gu Jingze said, “Alright. See you in an hour.”
After speaking, Situ Qiong turned to look at Lin Che. “Will you come later to cheer me on?”
Lin Che merely looked at him in surprise as she wondered what he was up to. “Situ, don’t be like this. Why do you two have to compete?”
However, before she had even finished speaking, Gu Jingze had already pulled her away.
Situ looked at Gu Jingze before saying to Lin Che, “Don’t worry. I won’t hurt him. Fencing is a gentleman’s sport. We’ll stop once we get a point.”
Gu Jingze looked on with indifference.
Lin Che raised her head in disbelief. “Gu Jingze, stop messing around, alright? You’re being so immature.”
Gu Jingze looked straight ahead in nonchalance. “Why? Are you afraid that I’ll hurt Situ? But they say that swords and knives know no mercy. We’ll see what happens when the time comes.”
Situ sneered. “I’m really looking forward to competing with you.”
By the time he said his last word, he had already started walking away.
He left Lin Che and Gu Jingze behind.
Lin Che lifted her head. “Gu Jingze, you...”
Gu Jingze looked like he could not be bothered to say anything more to her. He scoffed before striding out.
Lin Che went after him in a haste. “You’ve really misunderstood my relationship with Situ Qiong. Stop messing around, alright? It’s terrible that this situation has escalated to this point.”
Gu Jingze merely maintained his silence and continued walking forward.
As Lin Che stood there, she blinked and thought to herself, Why were these men suddenly behaving like immature schoolchildren?
However, Gu Jingze’s attitude of indifference towards her really infuriated her.
Forget it. She would let them do whatever they wanted to do.
Lin Che could only rest her forehead on her hand and watch Gu Jingze leave to prepare as well.
She quickly called Yu Minmin and told her that she would probably be going to Q University later.
Coincidentally, Yu Minmin’s meeting had just ended. She was extremely surprised when she heard Lin Che’s words.
Some time passed before she said to Lin Che, “Are they going to have a showdown?”
“Get lost. What showdown?” Lin Che asked in disbelief.
“A competition to vie for you.”
“What nonsense are you spouting? There’s really nothing going on between me and Situ.”
“You think it’s nothing, but Gu Jingze probably feels threatened.”
“But...”
“I’ll go over later to take a look. Be careful not to get recognized by the students at Q University. If you cause an uproar among the students, I definitely won’t be able to save you.”
Lin Che was pretty well-known right now. She could no longer walk the streets in the open.
As she looked around the bustling Q University, she had no choice but to look for a place to disguise herself.
Q University was the best university in B City.
The campus was also alarmingly huge.
There were internal shuttle buses making their rounds around campus and many people were traveling on their electric scooters. Since it was a prominent university, the students here not only looked like top students but they also had a liberated and positive energy about them.
It only took a while for people to spread the news that several luxury cars had just entered Q University’s campus and had headed straight for the gymnasium at the side.
The gymnasium was huge. It had been the venue for national sporting events before and was fully equipped with modern facilities.
“I just found out earlier that Gu Jingze and Situ Qiong are going to have a fencing competition. People from the Gu family and the Situ family have already made their way there.”
“Wow. In that case, can we go and watch?”
“I guess so. I didn’t see any blockades inside.”
“Good Lord, why did they think of having a competition in our school? We’re really lucky. Let’s go and save ourselves some seats.”
Lin Che heard this the moment she entered.
She looked on in disbelief as several girls and boys walked straight to the gymnasium. Then, she wordlessly sighed inside.
Those two men were really too...
Lin Che was wearing a cap, a pair of sunglasses, and a casual set of sportswear. Although she looked slightly different from the rest, she did not particularly stand out in this school since the general atmosphere was a completely liberating one.
Besides, everyone’s attention was on the competition happening inside, so no one took notice of her.
Lin Che successfully entered the gymnasium. Sure enough, she saw the Gu family’s bodyguards watching the match inside.
The luxury cars parked outside were actually reserved for special use by the Gu family’s bodyguards. Every single car was a multi-purpose vehicle that cost millions. The car that Gu Jingze usually drove was not amongst them. It seemed that he had yet to arrive.
Once she made her way inside, she saw that the gymnasium was filled to its capacity.
Everyone was brimming with anticipation as they looked towards the center. In an hour, the fencing piste had been cleaned to look brand new. The lights were already on. Only the two protagonists were missing now.
Lin Che had brought Yu Minmin together with her. Yu Minmin had also disguised herself a little. She looked around and said to Lin Che, “There are so many people. Are they all here to watch Gu Jingze and Situ Qiong?”
“They probably are.”
“Wow. It looks like Gu Jingze’s appeal is massive.”
“But Gu Jingze never told anyone about it. How did they...”
“Everyone outside is wearing the Gu family crest. One look and anyone would know that they’re Gu Jingze’s subordinates. Everyone has probably already guessed that Gu Jingze would come.”
“I guess... but there are no seats left.”
Yu Minmin pulled Lin Che to the front and said, “Let’s look for front-row seats so that we’ll be able to see more clearly.”
“Hey, so you really came to watch the fun.”
“Of course. A scene like this is a rare sight, you know?”
“...” Lin Che said, “There aren’t even any seats at the back. How can there be seats at the front?”
“You probably don’t understand what I’m doing.”
She turned around and removed Lin Che’s sunglasses.
“Hey, what are you doing...”
Lin Che let out a cry. Then, without hesitation, Yu Minmin tapped the two boys sitting in front. She smiled and said, “Fellow students, can you give up your seats for us? Otherwise, we’ll have to stand here and watch the match.”
While saying this, she immediately pushed Lin Che towards them.
When Lin Che saw the two boys looking at her, she was like a duck driven onto a perch. She could only smile awkwardly at them.
However, this smile served its purpose adequately.
The two boys stared blankly at Lin Che.
Although Q University had its fair share of beautiful girls, they had never seen such a beautiful woman.
For a moment, they thought that she looked familiar. Before they could react, Yu Minmin hushed them and said, “We came here in secret. Please don’t make a fuss.”
The two boys looked at Lin Che dumbly and nodded frantically. Then, they gave up their seats and said, “Have a seat. You guys should sit. We’re fine standing.”
Yu Minmin smiled and said, “We’re really grateful to the two of you.”
As they watched the two women sit down, the two boys looked on happily. They did not leave and continued to watch from the side. Their faces were completely red.
Lin Che was truly astounded. She patted Yu Minmin and said, “There’s no manager who gets her artist into trouble as you do.”
“I just made fair use of you. Alright, alright. Quick, look. Isn’t Gu Jingze here?”
It was about time for them to fulfill their promise to meet an hour later.
People in front suddenly cried out in surprise.
The person who was walking in was not Gu Jingze but Situ Qiong.
He was dressed in white fencing attire with his helmet secured under his arm. When he walked in, he swept his gaze around the people who had come to watch the match. Because he had often participated in competitions, the sight was extremely familiar to him. He would not be affected at all by the crowd.
