I Swapped Bodies With a Female Celebrity - Chapter 72

Cheer for me? What good is cheering for me? Does it give me a buff?

“I was just about to run away, and now you show up and mess up my whole plan?” Qin Lang whispered.

Run away? Chen Xiyuan looked at Qin Lang, surprised.

This was the first time she’d ever seen a boy declare his intention to run away so righteously.

Didn’t he feel even a little embarrassed?

“What’s with that look? If you can’t win, you run. What’s wrong with that? Didn’t the great leaders of our country also execute strategic retreats? Only a fool would keep fighting a losing battle!”

Qin Lang said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Chen Xiyuan thought for a moment, then nodded seriously.

“You have a point! So, what do we do now? Do we run away together?”

Qin Lang was speechless. “You’re wearing a skirt! How are you supposed to run?”

“You don’t have to worry about me!”

“And then what kind of man would I be?”

Qin Lang waved his hand. “Forget it. If I end up fighting him, you take the chance to run away. I’ll be fine then.”

“Can you take him on?”

Qin Lang pondered for a few seconds. “If I fight him, there are probably two outcomes.”

“One is him beating me to a pulp. The other is him beating me to a pulp. Just remember to call the school security… oh no, just call the police for me!”

He, Qin Lang, absolutely could not take a loss for nothing!

At worst, he’d make a huge scene, a lose-lose situation!

Wouldn’t the Cyber Security Competition champion getting beaten up be a explosive piece of news?

And the perpetrator being the son of some Education Bureau official… that would attract even more attention.

Thinking of this, Qin Lang’s eyes lit up.

Looked at that way, getting beaten up wasn’t something completely unacceptable.

Losing a little to make the other side lose a lot? That seemed like a pretty good deal.

But… if he could avoid a beating, who would actually volunteer for one?

“Qin Lang, you’re in the perfect spot already. Where else are you trying to go?”

Zhou Sifeng’s voice came from behind. “You wouldn’t be thinking of running away in front of a girl, would you?”

Qin Lang turned around. “Run away? That’s not my style!”

Behind him, Chen Xiyuan’s mouth twitched. Who was it that planned to run away from the start?

“Good, then let’s spar now!” Zhou Sifeng sneered, his knuckles cracking.

Qin Lang sighed. “Fighting you isn’t really the issue, but do you understand the consequences of this fight?”

“Consequences? What consequences? You think you’re a match for me?”

“I might not be your match… Fine, I’m not as physically gifted as you, but… Zhou Siyuan, haven’t you seen the news today?”

Zhou Siyuan, standing to the side, frowned. “Qin Lang, what do you mean? What does today’s news have to do with you?”

Qin Lang sighed again. “Zhou Siyuan, to be honest, having someone like you as an opponent is a disgrace to me! You can judge a person’s caliber by the quality of their rivals, and you… you’ve successfully lowered my standard!”

Zhou Siyuan was stunned for a second, then furious. “Are you mocking me?”

“Would I bother mocking you? I tried to give you a friendly hint earlier, but you completely ignored it!”

Qin Lang shook his head. “And you call yourself a computer science major? Don’t you pay any attention to the Cyber Security Competition?”

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhou Siyuan’s face. He really hadn’t been following the Cyber Security Competition; he’d been busy preparing for the Invention Cup lately.

But… what did the Cyber Security Competition have to do with a slacker like Qin Lang?

“Though I am unworthy, the antivirus software I developed won first prize in the Cyber Security Competition!” Seeing how clueless the other was, Qin Lang couldn’t hold back any longer and had to announce it himself, feigning nonchalance.

Zhou Siyuan stared, then burst into loud laughter.

“Qin Lang, I think you’ve lost your mind! What kind of loser are you? Don’t I know? You’re a total slacker! And you claim you developed antivirus software? Even if you want to lie, at least come up with a believable excuse!”

Clearly, Zhou Siyuan didn’t believe a word of it.

Developing an antivirus program was no easy feat. Besides, Qin Lang was a known slacker; it was impossible!

Even the top student in Yun Jing University’s computer science department might not manage it, let alone win first prize!

Did he think the professional R&D teams at big companies were just for show?

“Lies upon lies. You really are a coward!”

Zhou Sifeng shook his head, then lunged forward in a swift step. “Come on, let’s see if your skills are as sharp as your tongue!”

In Zhou Sifeng’s view, Qin Lang was clearly spouting lies just to avoid the fight!

He despised men like that the most!

Seeing the other charge, Qin Lang’s heart sank.

He’d miscalculated! He never expected the guy wouldn’t even bother to verify it and would just attack directly!

Where was the martial integrity in that!

“Run, quick! I’ll hold him off!”

Qin Lang growled, a look of grim determination on his face.

But just then, Qin Lang felt a gust of wind pass by from behind him.

In the next moment, Chen Xiyuan’s figure appeared in front of him.

“Are you cra—” Qin Lang cried out in shock.

But before he could finish his sentence, he was stunned by the scene before him.

As Chen Xiyuan rushed forward, her right hand precisely slapped aside Zhou Sifeng’s punch.

Simultaneously, taking advantage of Zhou Sifeng’s momentary imbalance, her left hand grabbed his right wrist, pulled and twisted, followed immediately by a knee strike.

Chen Xiyuan’s knee slammed hard into Zhou Sifeng’s chest.

Cough, cough, cough! Zhou Sifeng clutched his chest, nearly suffocating. Every breath sent a burning pain through his torso.

The chest muscles were bruised!

This seemingly delicate girl was actually a martial arts expert?

“Still want to fight?” Chen Xiyuan’s voice was calm. “I went easy on you just now. If you continue, I won’t be so polite.”

Zhou Sifeng knew she wasn’t bluffing.

“Qin Lang, hiding behind a woman, aren’t you ashamed?” Zhou Siyuan yelled angrily from the side.

Qin Lang blinked. “Not really. But… your brother can’t even beat a girl. That’s a bit hard to explain, isn’t it?”

“From now on, you’d better be polite when you see me. Be careful, or I’ll bring my girlfriend to your brother’s martial arts school to challenge him. We’ll shut the place down!”

Qin Lang was practically swaggering now.

Zhou Sifeng’s face darkened. “Let’s go!”

Staying any longer would just be asking for humiliation.

Zhou Siyuan left, fuming. Qin Lang looked at Chen Xiyuan, astonished. “You… I had no idea you were such an expert!”

“Of course,” she said. “I’ve practiced martial arts since I was a child. A few grown men usually can’t even get near me.”

In the distance, Chen Quan and the others, who had just arrived, were also stunned after witnessing Chen Xiyuan cleanly dispatch Zhou Sifeng.

The same thought crossed all their minds simultaneously.

“Old Qin, buddy… it looks like you’ll have no authority as a husband in the future!”
