Chapter 420: Li Ping Falls Ill! (Part 2)

The minor disturbance quickly ended, and Shen Lingyao was officially made a member of Ji Province University competition team through a ‘democratic’ process.

The competition continued.

Students from Huaqing and Huazhong University, after pondering overnight, came up with concrete strategies. Hence, they were particularly busy and successful today, each wearing a confident expression.

Zhao Qingfeng was also busy, being the only one on his team who knew how to code.

His fingers continuously tapped on the keyboard, and lines of code, clean and precise like verses of poetry, appeared on the screen. Meanwhile, Shen Lingyao took on the role of massaging him, offering encouragement and support, occasionally feeding him water, slicing fruits, or stealthily kissing his cheek.

“How envious…”

Some students were constantly watching Zhao Qingfeng.

They assumed that with only him participating for Ji Province University, he must be struggling.

However, looking at him, they found him smiling, relaxed, and cheerful.

What was more infuriating was the luck of this guy, who not only had a cute girl by his side constantly whispering sweet encouragements but also seemed to live in a bliss that money couldn’t buy, making others green with envy.

You see.

Men actually need encouragement and support the most.

Simple encouragements from a loved one can immensely boost a man’s confidence, inspiring them to achieve great things.

In contrast, partners or families that only know how to criticize and ridicule men.

Hardly any of them are happy.

This was also true for Zhao Qingfeng.

With Shen Lingyao’s encouragement, the 3000+ lines of code he was supposed to finish by the afternoon were completed before noon.

Shen Lingyao handed him an apple brought from the hotel in the morning, “Brother Qingfeng, all done?”

Zhao Qingfeng, while verifying the accuracy of the code, bit into the apple, “Yeah, it’s finished. There are still a few hours left before the competition ends, but we can’t go out, and I’m sleepy now, too tired from last night. Can I lean on you to sleep for a while?”

In those matters, men always expend more energy than women.

After all, there’s no such thing as overworked land, just exhausted oxen.

Shen Lingyao’s cheeks flushed, she lightly hit him, “Okay, then you can lean on me for a while.”

Zhao Qingfeng was genuinely tired, shook his head slightly, then gently leaned on Shen Lingyao, and gradually started to snore.

“Damn!”

“How has Ji Province Unviersity given up completely?”

“This guy is asleep, and he’s even sleeping leaning on her, ah!!!”

“Don’t be mad, guys, this is called being disheartened in the competition but lucky in love. When God opens a window for him, he surely closes another door.”

“Alright, alright, let’s focus on our own work! Jida has never been in our league. Come on, everyone, let’s finish writing the last of our code, it’s time for the selection soon!”

Since it was a ‘semi-democratic’ selection system, there was no need to stay for a detailed review in the latter stages.

The competition organizing committee decided to make a decision on the spot, having each team present their results after the competition, with all attendees scoring together.

Three hours later, at 3 PM, the competition officially ended.

When Zhao Qingfeng woke up, some students were already on stage, presenting their ‘answers’ for this competition.

“Smells so good…”

Zhao Qingfeng wiped his mouth.

“Tired, huh? It always smells better when you’re exhausted and asleep.”

Shen Lingyao massaged his head.

“No, I meant, you smell good…”

Zhao Qingfeng glanced over Shen Lingyao’s figure.

“Ah!”

Shen Lingyao then realized, “You’re so naughty, don’t talk nonsense! Quick, look, Huazhong University is on stage now, let’s see what their answer is!”
