Xia Qinghan and her friends weren't the only ones to be surprised. Even the others found Xia Xibei's behavior rather bizarre.
Their thoughts weren't as vicious as the three girls, but they were full of doubt and confusion too.
Why would a girl take part in a tournament for boys? Wasn't that a joke?
Besides, many of them couldn't help but be suspicious when they saw how those boys seemed to be fawning over Xia Xibei, trying hard to please her.
This was a tournament, not a spring excursion!
Regardless of that, however, Xia Xibei wasn't going against any rules by taking part in the tournament.
Under mixed anticipation and contempt from all the spectators, the first round of competition between the third and the fifth classes of the sophomore year officially began.
A hastening whistle went off, and Xia Xibei patted Tang Luo on the shoulder, "I gotta go! Cheer for me and await my victorious return!"
