But at this exact moment…

The floor under Situ Qiong’s feet suddenly caved in.

He jumped away from that part of the floor. However, the floor rumbled before it collapsed completely…

The two of them sank downwards together. The crowd went into a state of alarm and everyone stood up immediately.

They did not know why such a thing had suddenly happened.

The bodyguards at the side rushed forward in an instant.

Even the referee was stuck under the rubble. However, no one was concerned about him at the moment.

Gu Jingze was the first to clear the rubble and jump out. Lin Che had already run down long ago with Yu Minmin in tow.

Others wanted to go down but were stopped from going any further. After going down, Lin Che hastily said, “It’s me, it’s me. Let me through.”

When the bodyguards saw Lin Che and Yu Minmin, they quickly moved aside to give the two of them some space.

Everyone else could only watch the two of them enter. They continued to look on in confusion.

When Lin Che reached the piste, Gu Jingze and Situ Qiong had already jumped out of the rubble.

Lin Che looked at their dusty and dirty appearance. After looking them over, she quickly ran to Gu Jingze. “Are you alright?”

When Lin Che came to Gu Jingze’s side, the corners of his lips twitched as if in satisfaction.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze worriedly. She pulled him towards her and scrutinized his body carefully. Fortunately, his fencing attire had a protective effect, so his body was likely unharmed.

However, Lin Che still caught a glimpse of his bleeding wrist.

“Oh my God, Gu Jingze. You’re injured.”

She lifted his hand towards her and saw that the wound on his wrist was completely covered in blood. The blood had already stained his white clothing.

However, there was only a small amount of blood coming from the wound as it was not a large one.

Nevertheless, the wound was very dirty due to the soil covering it.

Lin Che quickly said, “Quick, let’s leave this place. We shouldn’t stay here any longer.”

Seeing as he was alright, Lin Che turned around to look at Situ Qiong.

The staff from the Situ family were already looking after Situ Qiong. However, before Lin Che could make her way over, Gu Jingze had forcefully pulled her out.

“Hey… Minmin, do me a favor and check on Situ.”

Yu Minmin stood there speechlessly and had no choice but to agree.

Lin Che and Gu Jingze left the others to clear the mess and went to the changing room.

The doctor came over in a hurry to examine Gu Jingze’s wound.

He had probably been injured when he fell downwards. The doctor gave him a tetanus shot and disinfected the wound. Lin Che was standing at the side and watching the doctor bandage the wound when Gu Jingze suddenly looked up and said, “Let her do it.”

Lin Che froze. When she registered what was happening, she looked at Gu Jingze and asked, “What do you want?”

Gu Jingze looked at her. “I’m not used to letting strangers touch me.”

“…”

Alright then.

Lin Che could only glare at him.

She bent down to bandage Gu Jingze’s wound.

Gu Jingze was behaving like a lofty emperor.

Lin Che pursed her lips and intentionally pulled the bandages tight around his arm.

Naturally, he felt a sudden pain.

“Tsk…” He glared at this lass.

Even now, she dared to play dirty tricks on him.

“Lin Che, do you want to die?!” He shouted.

Lin Che lifted her head. “What? What makes you think that?”

“If not, what are you doing?!”

“I… I’m bandaging your wound. You were the one who wanted me to do it.”

Gu Jingze thought, Whose fault was it that things had turned out this way? How dare she treat him so violently?

Lin Che said, “You were the one who wanted to compete for no reason. It’s your fault that you fell, hmph.”

Gu Jingze stared at her. “Whose fault did you say it was?”

If Lin Che said another word, he would definitely pull her straight into his lap and slap her butt until she shouted.

However, just then, Qin Hao came in.

He looked at the two of them and hastily said, “Sir, it seems that the floor collapsed because the gymnasium hasn’t been serviced for a long time. The rainy season is coming up, so the air has been very humid. The floor became unstable as a result.”

Gu Jingze nodded and gestured at him to leave.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. “Fortunately, nothing happened.

Gu Jingze glared at her.

Lin Che had finished bandaging his wound.

Gu Jingze said, “Yes, we were lucky. Lucky that the floor collapsed. Otherwise, Situ Qiong would have lost to me today. If things turned out that way, you would have also been ashamed as a student of the Situ family.”

Lin Che said in disbelief, “The outcome isn’t certain until the match ends.”

Hearing this, Gu Jingze’s eyes paused. “What do you mean? Why? Did you want Situ Qiong to win?”

“No, no. That’s not what I mean. Both of you were great, extremely great, much better than me.” Lin Che quickly looked at Gu Jingze with an expression of flattery. “I didn’t even know that you knew how to fence. Why didn’t you tell me about it sooner? I could have just learned it from you.”

Her words sounded pleasant to Gu Jingze’s ears.

Gu Jingze said, “It’s true that I know how to fence. But I’m not as good at coaching as Situ is. Although he’s arrogant, he has nevertheless been training as a fencing athlete for many years. It was definitely better for him to teach you than for me to do it. Furthermore…”

He looked at Lin Che.

If he coached her, he would have definitely been reluctant to give her too much training.

“Furthermore, what?”

“Furthermore, you’re so stupid. I’m worried that teaching you will make me so angry that I’ll get a stroke, just like when I taught you how to drive.”

“Get lost!” Lin Che thought to herself that as expected, Gu Jingze had nothing nice to say.

However, Gu Jingze had indeed been very handsome today.

He had been so handsome that all the girls in the gymnasium had nearly gone mad.

Lin Che said, “Why did you learn so many things for no reason. Fencing isn’t useful at all, but you actually learned it.”

“Fencing is a sport for gentlemen, so we learned a little since we were young.”

“In that case, how long did you learn it for?”

“I learned it for five to six years. But I haven’t practiced it in years.”

“…” He had not practiced it in years but still put up such a good fight.

Lin Che recalled the students’ discussion in the gymnasium. They had said that his skills were either a result of his hard work or his natural talent.

However, given that Gu Jingze was so busy every day, it was impossible that he had the time to train hard. She knew that he was a natural.

Lin Che pursed her lips and thought to herself that living together with a prodigy was really damaging to her self-esteem all the time.

When Lin Che remembered that she had not taken a look at Situ, she stood up and said, “I’ll go take a look at Situ’s condition first.”

However, the moment she stood up, Gu Jingze’s face had already darkened completely. He pulled Lin Che directly into his embrace.

She fell into his lap and raised her head to see Gu Jingze staring at her.

She asked, “What are you doing? I’m just going to take a look…”

Gu Jingze held her lip between his teeth angrily. As if to punish her, he brought her lips to the corner of his mouth and bit down hard.

Lin Che whined and felt extreme pain from being bitten.

“Gu Jingze, it hurts!”

“Are you still going to take a look at him?” Gu Jingze’s voice rang in her ear.

Lin Che said, “I’m just going to see if he’s injured.”

Feeling moody, Gu Jingze scoffed and proceeded to bite her neck. Ignoring her protests, Gu Jingze left a chain of marks that looked like plum blossoms on the most obvious part of her pale neck.

Lin Che’s neck tingled from being bitten. She held onto him while shouting, “Gu Jingze! Gu Jingze! Don’t do it! Don’t be like this!”

However, her voice only further awakened the evil lurking inside him. He used his teeth to pull her collar open a little. Then, he similarly left a chain of marks on her chest. Finally, he bit the sensitive area on her chest.

“Oh…” She called out and hugged him even tighter.

Gu Jingze… his kisses were magical and extraordinarily skilled. Each kiss made her feel as if she was dreaming.
