Chapter 35 Interlude
"That guy, he really is..."
Wu Lei'an wore a ferocious smile, seemingly too excited to speak for a moment.
On the other end of the phone, Wu Fengshui seemed to see Wu Lei'an's contorted expression from afar, and said with a rather helpless tone:
"Hey hey, got it, bro."
"Have fun on the field! ~~~"
After saying that, she hung up the phone without pausing, not giving her brother a chance to speak again.
Wu Lei'an didn't care. He tossed aside his phone and stared blankly at the sky outside the window, seemingly thinking of something amusing. A chilling laugh unconsciously escaped his lips again.
"Hehehe..."
……
In the second round of the competition, there were only sixteen fighters in total.
Therefore, compared to the first round, the tournament is shorter and ends earlier.
After the event concluded, many people went to restaurants to enjoy a meal or to bars to have a good drink.
Those who lost the game or made the wrong bet gathered in small groups to drink heavily and vent their frustrations.
The winners, whether by winning the game or by betting on the right people, chatted and shared their experiences in small groups, enjoying a hearty meal and conversation.
Just as the sun was setting and everyone's spirits were gradually relaxing from the intense stimulation they had experienced in the competition venue, a broadcast that resounded throughout the entire Yuanliu Island suddenly rang out:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you all have a great time on Yuriko Island."
"We need to announce some adjustments to the upcoming event. All company representatives, please proceed to the main lobby immediately."
"Please repeat..."
Upon hearing the broadcast, some of the company representatives immediately stood up, while others discussed the matter with those around them in confusion:
"At a point like this, is the game really going to change?"
"What is President Katahara thinking?"
"I don't know, I can't figure it out..."
Despite their doubts and discussions, the vast majority of company representatives ultimately went to the designated meeting point.
……
In the hotel room.
With her arms on the ground, abdominal muscles engaged, and legs dangling in the air, Shunka Hiyama is performing a fitness exercise suitable for women.
At this moment, she bit her lip, her hair was taut, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She was clearly resisting a force that the human body could not withstand under normal conditions, in order to achieve the purpose of training.
However, to avoid damaging her delicate skin, she performed the movements on the soft bed.
Upon hearing the broadcast, she counted the numbers while craning her neck and tilting her head back.
After bending her body into a crescent moon shape, she finally saw Li Yuan behind her, who was constantly training his spinal cord.
"Should I...go...?"
Due to her posture and the force exerted on her, Hiyama Shunka struggled to speak even though it was only a short sentence, taking a full seven or eight seconds to finish.
He would pause from time to time to adjust his state and resist the increasing force on his body in order to achieve a better training effect.
Snapped!Snapped!
Two crisp sounds rang out in the air. Li Yuan continued his daily training while waving his hands to test the effectiveness of his training.
Upon hearing this, he sneered, "Never mind."
"Yes..." Hiyama Shunka's physical strength had almost reached its limit. Her skin was glowing red from excessive exercise, and she was covered in sweat.
But thinking of Li Yuan's daily encouragement, she forced herself to concentrate and continued to bite her lip and persevere.
At some point, when she came to her senses, she found herself lying face down on the big bed, the sheets beneath her soaked with the sweat of her hard work.
Clearly, it was Li Yuan who, after discovering that she had fainted from exhaustion, thoughtfully laid her down so that she could rest properly.
"I... I can still hold on..."
Despite the aches and pains throughout her body, Hiyama Shunka forced herself to sit up, wanting to continue training.
However, just as she straightened her upper body, her arms went limp, and she collapsed back onto the bed.
It was only then that she realized that due to overexertion, even her voice had become hoarse.
"It's alright. Too much of anything is bad. You should rest today. Improving your physical endurance isn't something that can be achieved overnight; it requires daily persistence and gradual accumulation."
Li Yuan sat in a chair, encouraging her gently.
"Yes……"
Hiyama Shunka buried her head in the soft pillow in humiliation, and shed tears of resentment for her body's incompetence.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to see something that shouldn't be there.
This startled her, and she quickly wiped away her tears and turned to look.
On the once luxurious white carpet, a pool of bright red liquid had appeared at some unknown time.
The liquid was very viscous, and its color quickly became dull, eventually turning into a solid.
Blood!
A pool of blood flowed from the living room doorway into the bedroom, gradually congealing!
Seemingly noticing Hiyama Shunka's gaze, Li Yuan smiled slightly: "They're just a bunch of idiots with muddled minds, no need to care."
As he spoke, he slightly hooked his foot, and a crack immediately appeared at the junction of the red and white carpet, completely separating the two.
The section of carpet that had been stained red was rolled up and stopped at the bedroom door, acting like a sandbag to prevent the red liquid from spreading further.
A few minutes later, the phone in the bedroom suddenly rang.
Li Yuan picked up the phone and put it to his ear. The anxious voice of the hotel staff came through the receiver:
"Sir, are you alright? Do you need us to send emergency medical personnel immediately?"
Li Yuan said casually, "I don't need medical staff, what I need are cleaning staff, or... could you just give me a different room? This room is really too dirty."
"Uh..." The person on the other end of the phone seemed surprised to hear such a response and was momentarily stunned.
It took him a good two or three seconds to react, and he quickly said, "Okay, please wait a moment, I will send a staff member to bring you the room key."
"Thank you." Li Yuan hung up the phone politely.
Immediately, he stood up and went to the bedside, picked up the limp and immobile Hiyama Shunka with one hand, and walked towards the bathroom inside the bedroom:
"Let's go, clean up, we'll change rooms later, you can't just go out like this."
Hiyama Shunka nestled softly against Li Yuan, feeling his familiar warmth and alluring muscles, and closed her eyes happily.
……
Ding!
With a crisp click, the elevator doors opened.
A young woman dressed as a hotel staff member stepped out of the elevator, her high heels clicking as she walked out.
The next moment, what she saw made her scream in surprise:
"ah--"
