Chapter 117 – Hu Jian^[1]Protect Jian

Looking at the sweat on Ling Fei’s forehead, Xu Jian apologized in his heart for his dark thoughts just now. Ling Fei repeated it. For a moment, he thought he was doing it on purpose just for a few more seconds of footage.

Grimacing in front of Xu Jian, seeing the picture in his hand, he looked up to the sky and sighed. He resigned to his fate and began standing on one leg while saying to Xu Jian, “Help me count the time.”

Xu Jian nodded, “Okay.”

As soon as the word ‘Five’ in his mouth landed, Ling Fei unloaded all his strength, and at the same time his other foot landed, he lunged forward with an unstable center of gravity–

Before Xu Jian could react, he felt that he was being pulled by Ling Fei. He subconsciously took a step to the edge to stabilize his body.

Xu Jian was originally standing on the edge of the acupuncture mat and was pulled by Ling Fei like this. His foot stepped heavily on the mat. For a moment, he felt invigorated so he couldn’t hold back a cry.

Ow!!

After holding Xu Jian’s arm to stabilize his body, Ling Fei stood still and looked at Xu Jian, who was dragged into trouble by himself and apologized with a smile.

“Sorry, I didn’t stand firmly, but I’m next to you. Sense it in advance and you should be mentally prepared.”

Insincere.

Unprepared to step on it, Xu Jian, who was numbed with pain, retracted his feet and stood still. It took several seconds to calm down. After hearing Ling Fei’s words, who haven’t exited, Qin Chen, who was just a few meters behind him, suddenly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, “Are you okay ba?”

At the same time, Qin Chen swept Ling Fei a glance, his gaze was deep; no joy or anger could be seen. However, Ling Fei was shocked by his glance and subconsciously took a step back.

“I didn’t mean to.”

Xu Jian, who had already been familiar with Qin Chen’s temper, saw that the situation wasn’t right. He hurriedly patted the back of his hand and said, “It’s okay, I just didn’t stand firm.”

Under Xu Jian’s desperate eyes, Qin Chen walked to his position. Ling Fei also breathed a sigh of relief and the game continued.

Outside the field, Xiao Nan leaned close to Pan Min’s ear and whispered at a volume that only the two of them could hear, “Scared me to death. Just now I thought Brother Chen was going to hit Ling Fei.”

With Brother Chen’s temper, if he really moved his hand in full view of the public, it will not end well.

Pan Min raised an eyebrow to look at Qin Chen’s back and turned hearing Xiao Nan’s words.

“You still don’t know what his character is?”

Ling Fei did it on purpose just now, but it’s not a big deal. If taken seriously, it would look like you are preoccupied and can’t afford to play.

For this kind of thing, Xu Jian’s character is to endure and let it pass, but Qin Chen wouldn’t suffer from these pent-up unspoken grievances.

Just as Ling Fei was about to approach, Qin Chen suddenly changed positions with Kong Zhaoze and stood at the end, closest to the finish line.

Seeing Qin Chen change position, Xu Jian’s heart suddenly flashed an idea–

Qin Chen isn’t planning to make things difficult for Ling Fei at the last minute, right?

Pan Min’s thoughts coincided with Xu Jian and she turned her head to look at Xiao Nan, with a look in her eyes that says–What did I say?

Xiao Nan was like a spirit, with Qin Chen’s change in position, they understood what he wanted to do. Her eyes lit up and she suddenly became energetic.

Brother Chen, what kind of immortal boyfriend material is this!

Ling Fei, who had difficulty completing the handstand, flung his hand in front of Qin Chen, bending over to pick up the jump rope. As soon as he started to jump, he heard Qin Chen suddenly speak.

“Oh, that’s right.”

Before Ling Fei could throw the jumping rope up, he was frightened by Qin Chen’s voice. The feet that had just been raised fell and the pain went straight from the soles of his feet straight into the sky.

Regardless of Ling Fei’s slightly hideous expression, Qin Chen turned to the director and asked, “Director, do you have any requirements for this ten jump rope?”

The Director who was suddenly asked froze, “Requirements?”

What are the requirements for jumping rope?

Qin Chen’s tone was calm,  “It won’t work to jump and rest for five minutes, right?”

“Oh.” The director understood what he meant and nodded, “Of course not, what we require is a continuous ten.”

Everyone’s time is very precious. If you take a five-minute break, several minutes will pass. How can this work?

Nodding to show that he understood, Qin Chen turned his head to look at Ling Fei with no expression on his face, “You can start.”

After being glanced at by Qin Chen, Ling Fei inexplicably became nervous and nodded unconsciously at his words.

“O-okay…”

Ling Fei’s teammate, Xue Yi, listened to his stammering word and was anxious on the side, “You can pass the last level soon, jiayou^[2]Cheer up/Telling someone you got this! Ling Fei!”

After saying that, Xue Yi looked at Qin Chen again, his heart wanted to say–Your cold face is so scary. Ling Fei can’t complete the task properly under your gaze!

But Xue Yi was also discouraged by Qin Chen’s cold eyes, so he had to swallow his words in his stomach.

Under Qin Chen’s watchful gaze, Ling Fei trembled and began to jump rope. After failing twice, he counted to 8 after much difficulty. Qin Chen, who hadn’t spoken, suddenly coughed twice.

Qin Chen didn’t cough loudly, but Ling Fei, who had been paying attention to him, panicked. His hands and feet were in a mess, the jump rope was wrapped around his ankle, and the challenge failed again.

Xue Yi on the sidelines anxiously stomped his feet, “Just two short!”

After saying that, Xue Yi couldn’t help but look at the expressionless Qin Chen, and still didn’t say ‘Are you doing it on purpose?’

Xu Jian, Cao Tian, and Kong Zhaoze also came over. With a good smile on Cao Tian’s face, he said, “Too bad.”

If other teams aren’t doing well, it’s a good thing for them.

Ling Fei’s feet were almost numb with pain. He knew Qin Chen did it on purpose, but he dared not speak anything. He also has to maintain the expression on his face and attempt a comeback.

He can joke with Xu Jian, but he couldn’t afford to mess with Qin Chen.

Ignoring Ling Fei’s forced smile, Qin Chen swept a glance at the people around him, his tone wasn’t stingy nor light, “It’s just a dry throat, coughing is not allowed?”

Everyone: “…”

Ling Fei was so angry in his heart ah. It’s not that you’re not allowed to cough, but aren’t you too good at picking the time ba?!

Xu Jian looked at Qin Chen, who avenged him fair and square, and his heart warmed–

My boyfriend is too handsome ba!
