"WHAT?!"
Yueying exclaimed with a flustered look on her face.
"Let me be your boyfriend for the time being. It's just for the battle. I want to participate but I don't know anyone besides you. After it is over, you can decide if you want to continue the relationship."
There was a sudden tug inside Yueying's heart, feeling a little disappointment and heartache.
Was she expecting him to really become her boyfriend and not just for the upcoming battle?
Liang Feng struck a look at her as his lips curved upward, revealing a very seductive yet mysterious smile.
"B-b-but it's gonna be m-my f-f-first... relationship."
She responded as she looked down, avoiding eye contact.
Liang Feng suddenly stood up and cupped her cheeks, forcing her to look at him.
Their faces were very close. If one could see them, they'd think that they're gonna start on kissing.
She blushed and was very flustered. She never experienced this situation nor feeling before. What was going on?
She stared at the man cupping her cheeks and spoke
"Are y-you s-s-sure that you're competing with m-me? I might be terrible at Helium. P-plus, I might lower your appearance value i-i-in public."
"If I say it's you, then it's you. No one else. And are you saying that I'm handsome? Anyways, just relax and give me an answer."
Liang Feng was very nervous on the inside. It was his first time doing romantic things but he still mustered up courage for he was very interested in the woman standing in front of him, the woman who's making him nervous. The woman who can make his heart pound.
..
Yingyue took a deep breath as she removed the hands cupping her cheeks and retorted
"What handsome?! Where?! Liang Feng, let me tell you. If you suck at Helium, you'll receive retribution from me for making us lose and becoming my very first boyfriend!"
She suddenly turned around and dashed towards the exit, her heartbeat still increasing.
Liang Feng just stared at the figure running away from him and smirked
"Interesting indeed."

University campus
Huiyin was running when she just came to a complete halt, realizing something.
"OH SH*T!" she exclaimed.
She took out her phone and texted Yueying.
[Yueying, I'm really really really really sorry for leaving you behind. I'll make it up to you later I promise! If you want, I can even help you find a suitable man for you!]
Seconds later, her phone vibrated, revealing a reply from Yueying.
[It's fine! Go and find your Master Tai Shun. No worries, I already have a partner. I'll tell you all about it later okay?]
She looked at the message with a puzzled and complex expression.
"This girl works fast! Which unlucky guy did she grab this time? I'll be sure to investigate her later!"
She then put her phone back and ran as fast as lightning, as if she wanted to be the first person to find what she was looking for.
..
At the corridors
As Yueying was trying to put away her phone, it vibrated. She suddenly pulled it back and checked the text.
[Yueying, you might have heard from your professor about the battle. Partner up with me.]
She received a text from Tai Shun.
She looked at her phone in disdain and sighed.
[Tai Shun, I already have a partner. Moreover, my best friend is really interested in you so please don't break her heart and stop looking for me. You know I'm not interested.]
..
A man gripped his phone hard as he grinned his teeth.
"Tsk. In this university, who wants to block my path? Just you wait, I'll definitely crush whoever you are. I'm the only one worthy for Jiang Yingyue."
He looked forward and saw a woman running towards him.
"Master Tai Shun! Take me as your girlfriend. No, I mean, be my partner for the battle. Wait, it's the same thing! Well, whichever. Pleaasseeee?"
Huiyin was panting while saying these words.
Tai Shun suddenly hid his angry expression and looked at Huiyin from head to toe. She didn't look bad. She is really beautiful.
He smiled and responded
"Alright then. Don't worry I'll be good to you and take care of you."
'Just you wait. I'll win the battle and prove I'm the strongest. By that time, Yueying will come looking for me!'
There was a hidden agenda in his head.
