173: Chapter 173 We Must Win!
“Peng, this kid is insulting our Wind and Cloud Team!” The guy with a pointy chin and monkey-like face from the Wind and Cloud Team was the first to react, shouting at Peng Xiaotian.
Peng Xiaotian’s face turned extremely ugly; this was the first time he had been mocked so disgracefully.
An intolerable insult!
In front of hundreds of students in the cafeteria, Lin Fei actually wanted his Wind and Cloud Team to change its name to Mop Team, Toilet Team, Trash Team!!!
“Lin Fei, how dare you insult our Wind and Cloud Team?” Peng Xiaotian’s eyes flared with fierce anger.
Lin Fei replied calmly, “Since there’s a bet, then if you lose, you’ll naturally have to change your name; I’m just suggesting names for you in advance.”
Peng Xiaotian pointed at Lin Fei, too enraged to speak: “You…”
“Peng, don’t get angry; what’s going on here?
What’s this about betting?
You’re all from the same school, it’s better to cherish harmony.” At this moment, Zheng Feng walked over and tried to persuade Peng Xiaotian.
Peng Xiaotian, still furious, looked at Zheng Feng and said in a deep voice, “Zheng Feng, what’s that supposed to mean?
Someone insults our Wind and Cloud Team like this, and we’re just supposed to let it go?”
Zheng Feng chuckled apologetically, saying, “Peng, Lin Fei is a new student at Huadu University and doesn’t know your reputation, so he might have offended you inadvertently.
Why bother with a newcomer?”
Looking at Zheng Feng, Peng Xiaotian asked, “Then what do you think should be done?”
Zheng Feng smiled and proposed, “How about this?
After the match this afternoon, I’ll host a dinner at Tasty Restaurant tonight.
Would you give me face by both sides shaking hands and making peace?
We can all get along harmoniously thereafter.”
“Hahaha~~~” Peng Xiaotian laughed loudly, but suddenly his smile disappeared, his eyes sharp as he stared at Zheng Feng, saying, “Zheng Feng, who do you think you are?
Let me tell you, at Huadu University, except for Qin Yunyue, I don’t give face to anyone.
Dreaming of making peace?
Keep dreaming!”
Zheng Feng’s expression also turned ugly; he had thought that his usual interactions with Peng Xiaotian were decent enough that Peng would give face by not arguing with Lin Fei.
Unexpectedly, Peng Xiaotian didn’t give him any face, making it impossible for Zheng Feng to speak on Lin Fei’s behalf.
“Since you won’t heed Zheng Feng’s words, let’s just say Zheng Feng never said anything.” Zheng Feng had to swallow his pride and say.
“Zheng Feng, no need to beg him like this.
Besides, this is a bet between me and him; better not get involved,” Lin Fei spoke to Zheng Feng.
Lin Fei had a good impression of Zheng Feng, knowing he was worried about him and wanted to help.
But Lin Fei didn’t want Zheng Feng to get entangled in the dispute between him and Peng Xiaotian.
Zheng Feng, realizing he couldn’t facilitate reconciliation between Lin Fei and Peng Xiaotian, spoke to Lin Fei instead: “Since you’ve decided to bet, I have nothing more to say.
I hope you have good luck.”
After saying this, Zheng Feng returned to the Fierce Tiger Team table.
Peng Xiaotian saw Lin Fei had already decided on the bet, a cold gleam flickered in his eyes: Damn kid, daring to insult the Wind and Cloud Team and still wanting to bet against our team, I’ll make sure to humiliate the Flying Team thoroughly in the game, easing my frustration!
“Lin Fei, we’re settled then; we’ll see who wins on the field this afternoon!” Peng Xiaotian said fiercely, looking at Lin Fei.
Lin Fei raised his hand and said, “Wait, there’s one more thing we need to clarify; if my Flying Team loses, we’ll change to Wasted Team, but if your Wind and Cloud Team loses, would you change to Trash Team?”
After saying that, Lin Fei smiled, looking at Peng Xiaotian.
Peng Xiaotian’s facial muscles twitched violently in anger, but he gritted his teeth and said, “Fine, if we lose, we’ll change Wind and Cloud Team to Trash Team; if you lose, change to Wasted Team.”
As soon as Peng Xiaotian said this, the students in the cafeteria were astonished once more.
Unexpectedly, the usually arrogant Peng got cornered by Lin Fei into saying that if he loses, he’d change Wind and Cloud Team to Trash Team.
No matter who ultimately wins or loses this match, Lin Fei’s performance has already made the students in the cafeteria look at him with new respect.
“Good, with your word, I’m reassured.
Peng, you better not let me win; otherwise, your team’s name might sound quite unpleasant!” Lin Fei said, filled with smug satisfaction.
Peng Xiaotian felt like a volcano’s lava was boiling inside, wanting to engulf him; he clenched his fists tightly.
If not for wanting to maintain his image and composure, he would have already thrown a punch at Lin Fei.
This was the first time since entering Huadu University that someone dared to mock him so openly, disregarding him.
It was also the first time he had been driven to such fury, yet couldn’t do anything about Lin Fei.
“Peng, he’s insulting our Wind and Cloud Team!” That pointy-chinned and monkey-faced guy reminded Peng Xiaotian once again.
Burning with rage, Peng Xiaotian, upon hearing the monkey-faced guy, whose reminders weren’t helping, struck him on the face sharply, shouting angrily, “Monkey, do I need you to remind me?”
The pointy-chinned and monkey-faced guy’s face immediately swelled red from Peng Xiaotian’s slap, looking dazed and aggrieved but dared not utter a word, just covered his face.
All the students in the cafeteria already loathed this monkey-faced guy who relied on Peng Xiaotian’s power to bully others, so watching him get slapped, they felt great satisfaction.
“Lin Fei, we’ll see how things go!” Peng Xiaotian vented his frustration on the monkey-faced guy and then threw a harsh word at Lin Fei before leaving the cafeteria.
The monkey-faced guy and other Wind and Cloud Team members also glaring at Lin Fei and the other Flying Team members harshly, followed Peng Xiaotian out.
After seeing Peng Xiaotian and his crew leave, the students in the cafeteria suddenly started discussing fervently, each expressing their opinions on Lin Fei and Peng Xiaotian’s bet, but generally, everyone thought Lin Fei and the Flying Team were in a precarious situation.
At Lin Fei’s table, Xu Wei and others from the Flying Team, hearing that most people in the cafeteria were not optimistic about their chances, became somber.
“Why so silent?” Lin Fei asked Xu Wei and the others, seeing their silence.
Xu Wei lifted his head and said, “Lin Fei, are you confident you can win against the Wind and Cloud Team?”
Lin Fei responded, “Our goal was to win prize money; if we don’t beat the Wind and Cloud Team, how can we win the prize?”
Xu Wei and others were startled; although their initial goal was the prize money, at least then they had an option to back off, without having to call themselves the Wasted Team if they lost.
But now, there’s no turning back.
“Don’t overthink it; just remember what I’ve told you.
Believe in yourselves, unite as one; we’ll definitely beat the Wind and Cloud Team.” Lin Fei’s eyes shone brightly, with a confidence and strength that was hard to explain, “Even without this bet, I wanted to defeat the Wind and Cloud Team for the prize money, because if we don’t want to lose, we must defeat our opponents.”
Xu Wei and the others felt as if a holy light was emanating from Lin Fei, instantly boosting their courage and spirits.
“Lin Fei, you’re right; if we don’t want to lose, we have to beat our opponents; we must win!” Xu Wei and the others said in unison, brimming with fighting spirit.
