My stats are higher than yours!

So, Xia Yanxin leaned against the headboard, watching Bai Shuodong peel an apple while mentally reviewing and analyzing his behavior.

A short while later, she suddenly asked, "Your behavior earlier... was deliberately seducing me, wasn't it?"

"Ah."

Bai Shuodong replied.

There was definitely an element of seduction involved, but it was mostly for fun. However, he wouldn't admit it, since he considered himself a normal person.

“Here, an apple.”

Thanks.

Xia Yanxin took the apple and took a bite. Her gaze fell on his hand, and she seemed to notice something inadvertently. Her expression changed slightly, and she said, "Could you extend your hand a little?"

"what?"

"have a look."

"Uh... okay."

Bai Shuodong stretched out his hand and placed it directly in front of her. He was also quite curious about what this guy could see. He had heard that this guy's intuition was very sharp, and perhaps he could see something that others couldn't see through his hand.

"Turn it over, open it up, yes."

Xia Yanxin's gaze gently fell on his palm, examining it carefully with a serious and meticulous look, as if she were observing something important.

Suddenly, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, but she quickly suppressed it, coughed lightly twice, pretending it was from illness, and continued:

"Come closer, so I can see more clearly."

"Oh."

"Okay~ okay~ very good~ that's it~"

Xia Yanxin stared intently at the hand that was getting closer and closer to her, her eyes gleaming with a strange light, and the corners of her mouth began to curve upwards uncontrollably.

Then...

"hey-hey!"

She suddenly opened her mouth, revealing two sharp canine teeth, and her expression instantly changed. With lightning speed, she bit Bai Shuodong's arm, her speed was frightening.

"Awooohoo!!"

"You damned Dongxi, you attacked while Jia Ran and Chen were left behind! What did you take my kindness for?! I'll kill you, you bastard!"

"Aaaaaah! Holy crap!!"

The tiger's fang pierced deep into his skin, and blood flowed out instantly. Bai Shuodong screamed in agony, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. He instinctively wanted to retaliate, but remembering that he was indeed in the wrong, he couldn't bring himself to strike back directly.

He changed his approach and shouted, "Despicable! Xia Yanxin! You actually took advantage of your serious injuries to ambush me! You are truly despicable now!"

"What the heck!?"

...

Shortly after

"Ha~ Hiss... Ha~ Hiss..."

Bai Shuodong sat in the chair, clutching his arm. A lot of blood fell to the ground, and he felt a sharp pain. He stared intently at Xia Yanxin, who was sitting on the hospital bed licking her tiger teeth, thinking that he would give her a big one sooner or later.

This bastard doesn't bite like a flirtatious little bite; it bites hard, even trying to bite a chunk of flesh off a person.

Just as he was cursing inwardly, Xia Yanxin suddenly laughed again, and the laughter grew louder and louder.

"Hehe...hahaha...hahahaha!"

"?"

"Idiot, my injuries have long been healed!"

"Then why didn't you say so earlier?!"

"You'll just have to suffer!"

"I'll take this shit!"

Bai Shuodong's eyes instantly turned red, and he rushed forward, heading straight for Xia Yanxin on the hospital bed.

Xia Yanxin, lying on the hospital bed, smiled and assumed a defensive posture, her face filled with eager fighting spirit.

Although she is best at using greatswords, this does not mean that Xia Yanxin is not good at close combat. On the contrary, her unarmed close combat skills are also quite impressive.

...

"Wait...wait! I was just kidding! How could you use your talent?"

"Who says you can't use your talent when you're just having fun? Isn't it more fun this way? Hehehe!"

"Shh, can we make peace?"

"At this very moment? You must be joking."

...

"Crack!"

The door to the ward was suddenly opened.

He Jiaxin stood at the door, staring blankly at the two people wrestling on the hospital bed.

Her instinct to join in the fun was to watch the drama unfold, but seeing the expressions on the two people's faces, the way they were fighting, and the bloodstains on the bed, she couldn't bring herself to say anything to cheer them on.

When others get together, they're pure love warriors, but these two are different; they're pure warriors.

"..."

She remained silent.

She carried the lunchbox to the table and watched the two men continue their close-quarters combat.

Xia Yanxin possesses superior technique, while Bai Shuodong relies solely on his innate strength, allowing him to break free from restraints and achieve power suppression when unleashing his talent. However, once the talent's effects wear off, Xia Yanxin can leverage her combined strength and technique to find opportunities to counterattack and regain control.

"That's enough, it's lunchtime!"

After gaining the upper hand and pressing back, Xia Yanxin took the initiative to let go and said.

"alright."

Bai Shuodong was exhausted, his face was covered in bruises, and his body was covered in countless bruises, but it wasn't a big problem. Xia Yanxin's physical attributes were lower than his, and she didn't have the slow burst damage reduction ability, so she was in even worse condition now.

In other words...

I won this round! Hahaha!

[Hint: Congratulations on mastering melee combat skills! Melee prowess level has been increased to level 2]

Bai Shuodong stood by the bed, carefully straightening his clothes. Although his body ached slightly, he raised his chin like a victorious rooster. In the previous battle, he had had too many opportunities to kill his opponent outright, but he didn't. This sense of control filled him with immense pleasure.

"Boom boom boom!"

A knock came at the door.

Xia Yanxin frowned slightly, then said, "Please come in."

"Crack!"

Jiang Lin pushed open the door and entered.

At this moment, he was still holding a lunchbox in his hand, which was the dinner he had brought for Bai Shuodong. After discovering that Bai Shuodong had left, he went to find Xia Yanxin's ward immediately, because he knew that this guy would most likely go to see the girl he had injured.

What kind of thunderous scene am I seeing?

The two were disheveled, one sitting on the bed and the other standing on the floor. There were even large patches of blood on the bed. Xia Yanxin's face was covered with abrasions and bruises, and there was even a tooth mark. Bai Shuodong's ear was also missing a small piece, which looked like it had been bitten.

"..."

The atmosphere is so eerie.

Seeing this scene, I should have wanted to cheer them up, but why couldn't I say a word?

"Since things have come to this, let's eat first."

Chapter Thirteen: The Show-Offs of the Past

Dinner time is a rare moment of peace and quiet.

The two who were fighting to the death in the infirmary just a moment ago are now eating quietly, as if they weren't the ones who were fighting to the death just moments ago.

"Hey, how did you find out I had a hidden ability? I didn't give anything away, did I?" Bai Shuodong looked up and asked Xia Yanxin directly.

"intuition."

"To learn a skill?"

"Oh, you want to spy on me?"

Xia Yanxin smiled, leaned back slightly, and wore a malicious smile on her face.

"You dare not say?"

"Ah!"

Xia Yanxin gave a light 'humph' and then replied, "So what if I do? You don't think you can beat me just because you know this, do you? I won't hold back next time we fight."
