Chapter 173 Do you believe me when I say I was forced?
Yuxi glanced at the crowd in the distance, and suddenly found a familiar figure beside the fence - Kai.
His heartbeat accelerated and his eyes began to tremble nervously, so that he suddenly couldn't look the other person in the eye and his vision began to wander.
"It's really hell, I feel dizzy when I see him..."
Despite this, Kai didn't seem to notice Yuxi's uneasiness. He had a warm smile on his face and waved to Yuxi, motioning him to come over.
"Yuxi, come here quickly." Kai's voice penetrated the noise of the crowd and reached Yuxi's ears clearly.
“No…” Yuxi’s voice was trembling. He tried his best to stay calm: “I…I’d better stand here.”
"Isn't today's game over?" Kai asked in confusion, his eyes revealing concern.
"Yes, it's over." Yuxi replied. Although her tone was calm, the turmoil in her heart was like a raging storm.
Kai suggested: "Then let's go out for dinner to celebrate."
"I'm not hungry, go eat by yourself." Yuxi declined politely, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone.
"How can you not be hungry? It's almost dusk now." Kai still refused to give up and tried to persuade Yuxi.
Yuxi's attitude became firm, and she said loudly: "I said, go eat by yourself, don't bother me!"
Kai was confused and frowned slightly: "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
Yuxi didn't know how to answer, so she could only say in a low voice: "Nothing..."
Afterwards, Kai looked into Yuxi's eyes, and Yuxi immediately avoided his gaze and spoke to Jing: "Jing, didn't Teacher Zhuang Zhou say that we should wait for the letter to notify us?"
"While we wait for the letter, let's act together as a team."
Yuxi quickly seized the opportunity to change the subject: "Otherwise we don't know what the next game will be."
Dongfang Jing nodded and agreed: "Then let's go to Jixia Optimization House and wait for notification."
The little girl asked curiously, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Dongfang Jing explained: "There are refreshments in the optimization room, we can just eat something."
So, Dongfang Jing led Yuxi and the little Sagittarius girl towards the optimization house.
Yuxi forced himself to ignore Kai's gaze on him and walked away without looking back.
Lanling Wang looked at all this and couldn't help laughing: "Oh~ Why am I so happy~"
Hua Mulan gave him a reproachful look and said, "Stop talking!"
Then he turned to Kai and asked with concern: "Kai, where are you going next?"
The Optimization House is a place specially provided for students participating in competitions to rest. It has many areas and intricate passages, winding like a maze.
When Yuxi followed the team around a corner, his wrist was suddenly grabbed tightly by an irresistible force, and the next moment he was pulled into a familiar embrace.
Before he had time to struggle, or even to react to what was happening, he heard that deep and familiar voice whispering in his ear.
"It's me." Kai's voice echoed in his ears.
Yuxi frowned unhappily: "Kai, what are you doing? Let me go quickly! There are other people here..."
"armor?"
Kai repeated it, seemingly confused, and then asked, "Are you calling me?"
Yuxi seemed a little impatient: "Besides you, is there anyone else named Kai?"
"But you've never called me by my first name like that before."
There was a hint of surprise in Kai's voice: "Why are you suddenly calling me like this now?"
Yuxi avoided Kai's gaze, her tone a little uncertain: "Let the past be the past!"
"Did anything happen after you jumped into the lake?" Kai asked with concern.
Yuxi seemed a little exasperated. He pushed Kai hard and said, "Can you please stop asking so many questions? What does what happened to me have to do with you?"
However, Kai still hugged him tightly without moving. Yuxi said angrily: "Stop hugging me like this! Let go!"
"No, I just won't let go." Kai answered firmly.
Yuxi sighed helplessly: "You..."
"Tell me, what happened?" Kai continued to ask: "Why are you suddenly so resistant to me?"
Yuxi finally exploded: "You know I'm resistant, but you still ask me? What good things did you do when I was drunk?"
Kai was silent for a while, then said slowly: "You know everything?"
"Correct!"
Yuxi gritted her teeth and replied: "Every time I see you now, I feel sick!"
"If possible, I don't want to do those things when you are drunk." Kai's voice was low and deep.
Yuxi asked in shock: "What are you talking about...can you have some shame!"
"No."
Kai's attitude is one of indifference and giving up everything.
Yuxi was so shocked by his shamelessness that she was speechless for a long time.
“I never thought you were this kind of person…” Yuxi finally spoke, her voice full of shock.
“I’ve always been this way.”
Kai confessed: "I have always longed to touch you and kiss you. In order to be able to stay with you, I even lied to you, which made me feel very painful."
"Since you already know it, I don't have to pretend anymore."
Kai said, moving closer to Yuxi: "Whether you want to bite me or hit me, it's up to you."
"I don't want to do these boring things!"
Yuxi refused firmly: "Please, just stay away from me..."
Before Yuxi could finish his words, his mouth was blocked.
He looked at Kai's face so close to him and was stunned for a long time before he reacted. Just as he was about to struggle, the sweetness that followed made him dazed for a moment.
"Why...is this kiss sweet?"
He was so overwhelmed by the unusually sweet kiss that he forgot to resist for a moment.
I don’t know how long it took, but a familiar voice came from not far away, breaking the silence.
"Cough cough..."
Dongfang Jing's voice was filled with embarrassment: "You guys..."
After hearing the voice, Yuxi finally came back to her senses from her trance and became suddenly agitated. Then, in anger, she grabbed Kai's braid and pulled with all her strength.
Kai groaned in pain, and he left Yuxi's lips and couldn't help complaining, "Pull my hair more gently..."
Yuxi seemed to be completely dominated by anger, and roared: "Get out!"
Kai seemed a little surprised and asked, "Are you turning hostile right after we kissed?"
"Shut up! If you don't leave today, we'll never see each other again!" Yuxi threatened, her voice full of determination.
Kai was silent for a long time. In the end, he could only smile bitterly and said helplessly: "Then I'll go, okay? See you tomorrow..."
There was deep reluctance in his voice, but he still turned and left.
Yuxi watched Kai's back disappear around the corner, and the complex emotions in her heart were difficult to express in words.
Dongfang Jing witnessed all of this. Looking at Kai's lonely figure, he couldn't help but feel a little unfair: "You are so heartless."
"Do you believe me when I say I was forced?"
Yuxi tried to explain his behavior, but the powerlessness revealed in his tone made it seem that even he himself did not quite believe this explanation.
"Forced?" Dongfang Jing repeated it without any belief, and then pointed out: "I have been standing here for almost an incense stick... During this time I have been thinking about whether to speak out."
"Stop talking, I want to take it slow..." Yuxi was upset and didn't want to continue this topic.
"Who is Huanhuan?"
Dongfang Jing curiously asked: "Not only do you like men, but you are also unfaithful?"
"Hurry up and you're not a human being! I just want to take it easy..." Yuxi explained hastily, only to feel a headache.
"Let's not talk about this for now."
Dongfang Jing interrupted him, changed the subject consciously, and said, "I'm here to tell you that the organizer will announce the time for the finals tomorrow night."
"A competition in the evening? What is that competition?" Yuxi put away her confused mind and asked curiously.
"Dream in the Ring."
Dongfang Jing explained: "Only those who have completed all the tasks can pass."
"What do you mean?" Yuxi was puzzled. This statement made him confused.
"It means that only those whose wishes have been fulfilled or whose hearts have died can pass." Dongfang Jing then further explained: "The whole team can participate in this level, but it will have a certain impact on the contestants' mentality."
"I want to participate." Yuxi thought about it and made up her mind.
"Do you want to try it?" Dongfang Jing asked.
"Just consider it as a chance to broaden your horizons." Yuxi nodded.
Dongfang Jing instructed: "Then tomorrow night the two of us will enter the Ring of Dreams."
Afterwards, Yuxi followed her into the optimization room and saw the main table filled with exquisite pastries.
Among them, there was a dish that looked very delicious, which Yuxi had never seen even in the Jixia Canteen.
“This is so beautiful…”
"Kai likes to eat pastries. Should I bring some for him..." As Yuxi looked at these exquisite pastries, these thoughts flashed through her mind involuntarily.
However, as soon as this thought came to mind, Yuxi was stunned.
"Am I crazy? I have to bring food to that guy?!"
At this moment, the inner conflict and struggle are clearly revealed.
