Chapter 10: FIGHT.
The gym was eerily quiet, the overhead lights flickering slightly as Hua Rong followed Lin Zeyan inside. Two boys were already there, standing by the ring, their postures relaxed but expectant. One of them, dressed in the standard school uniform—white shirt and dark blue pants—looked particularly confident.
Lin Zeyan strode forward, his voice sharp. "We're going to have a match, and I need a witness!" He turned slightly, nodding toward Hua Rong. "I brought someone, so don't forget what you promised."
Hua Rong's brows furrowed. A fight? That wasn't allowed unless it was an official match. Her fingers shot out, gripping Lin Zeyan's wrist in an attempt to stop him. "What are you doing?"
Lin Zeyan smirked, his eyes gleaming with something reckless. "If I win, he gives me three thousand points."
Her grip tightened. "What?"
"Points can be transferred," he whispered, lowering his voice. "And there aren't any CCTV cameras in this part of the building."
That part was true. No cameras. No proof. A sinking feeling settled in Hua Rong's chest. Before she could argue, Lin Zeyan pulled his arm free and stepped toward the ring.
The other boy in uniform removed his jacket and climbed out, leaving behind a taller, more muscular opponent.
Bai Xinchen.
Hua Rong's gaze darted between them. Bai Xinchen had the build of someone who trained regularly—broad-shouldered and strong. In contrast, Lin Zeyan was lean, built for speed but lacking in raw power.
Her brows drew together. This wasn't going to end well.
