Chapter 32: Chapter 32: A Kiss
Song Xiaodong looked at Xiao Qiangâs relentless behavior, still oblivious to when to advance or retreat, and Song Xiaodong started to feel disgusted. When Xiao Qiang lunged at him once more, he landed a punch straight on Xiao Qiangâs jaw, knocking him out cold.
Seeing Xiao Qiang lying motionless on the ring, the crowd below, who had been enjoying the spectacle, actually felt a sense of relief. Watching Xiao Qiang getting beaten up like that, they all felt pain on his behalf.
The result didnât need to be announced anymore. After a brief silence, some young girls started to cheer excitedly, joined by the applause of many others.
Xiao Qiang had always been the one bullying others in this club and, on top of that, he was quite arrogant, with poor social relations. Many people disliked him, so while there were some who felt sympathy for him getting bullied, even more were excited.
No one was more excited than Miao Xuanxuan, though. Song Xiaodong had given her one big surprise after another, especially as she listened to the girls chatter and lavish praise on Song Xiaodongâs prowess, it made her heart swell with satisfaction.
Song Xiaodong hopped down from the ring, and Miao Xuanxuan and a *** immediately surrounded him.
"Miao Xuanxuan, your boyfriend is really impressive!"
"Yeah, he totally thrashed Xiao Qiang, leaving him with no chance to fight back at all. Heâs definitely a top-notch master. No wonder you werenât interested in Xiao Qiang; it turns out you had such a tough guy."
"Hehe, truly tough, not only in the ring but definitely in that other aspect too, huh? Otherwise, why would our dear Xuanxuan wait for him to come back from overseas?"
"Giggle, of course, just look at Xuanxuan, sheâs clearly in higher spirits today, she must have been thoroughly pampered."
Song Xiaodong suddenly had a headache; these girlsâ jokes were even bolder than those of the guys.
At this moment, Miao Xuanxuan was beyond excited. Regarding the jokes everyone was making, she didnât mind and, linking arms with Song Xiaodong, she boasted proudly, "Thatâs right, my Xiaodong is awesome."
"Hey, Miao Xuanxuan, your boyfriend was so valiant just now and performed so well, shouldnât you express your gratitude?"
"Right, right, right, kiss him, kiss him!"
"Kiss him! Kiss him!"
Everyone immediately began to egg them on.
Song Xiaodong turned to look at Miao Xuanxuan, especially at her lips. Miao Xuanxuanâs lips might be a bit thin, not particularly sexy, but a kiss from such little lips must surely be intoxicating.
Miao Xuanxuan also looked at Song Xiaodong, her cheeks flushing, her large eyes blinked, and her long lashes fluttered, showing a hint of shyness and even a daring eagerness.
"Kiss her!"
"Yeah, heâs your boyfriend, isnât he? Whatâs there to be shy about?"
"Donât tell us, this boyfriend of yours is just for show."
Although that line was meant as a joke, it hit Miao Xuanxuan right where it hurt. Still conflicted, Miao Xuanxuan tiptoed and pecked Song Xiaodongâs cheek like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Everyone shouted with excitement.
But someone immediately said, "No way, that kiss was too perfunctory; it should at least be on the lips."
Another quickly added, "And it must be a French kiss."
Miao Xuanxuan, with her face red, glared and said, "Kiss what kiss? When we get home, Iâll take my time kissing him; Iâm not going to perform for you guys."
"No, no! You must give him another one."
The other girls were not about to let Miao Xuanxuan off so easily, and they continued to egg her on.
Miao Xuanxuan, feeling a bit overwhelmed, grabbed Song Xiaodong and ran into the changing room, which made it awkward for the other girls to follow them in.
Miao Xuanxuan sighed in relief, then lifted her chin with a bit of a haughty air and said, "Donât get the wrong idea, I was just rewarding you just now."
Song Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I didnât think too much about it, just that being kissed by someone is quite comfortable."
"Pfft, getting all flustered from just a kiss, youâre such a rookie," Miao Xuanxuan retorted, giving Song Xiaodong a disdainful look, yet unable to hide the blush on her face.
Song Xiaodong chuckled softly and asked, "Hey, donât tell me that was your first kiss?"
Miao Xuanxuan glared at him and responded, "What do you think? Hmph, my first kiss just gone like that, itâs such a loss."
"Really? Youâre not that young, havenât you had a boyfriend before?" Song Xiaodong pressed, staring at Miao Xuanxuan.
Miao Xuanxuan glared again and declared, "I havenât had enough fun yet, and I really donât want to start dating so soon, hmph, just so you know, donât get any ideas, I have already decided that I absolutely wonât date anyone before Iâm twenty-five."
Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "Iâm not thinking anything; I was just curious. These days girls seem to start dating early, and you being so pretty with so many suitors, itâs surprising none have caught your eye."
"You got that right, I havenât seen anyone I like," Miao Xuanxuan rolled her eyes and pressed, "Stop the chatter and hurry up and change, so we can get out of here quick."
"Change now?" Song Xiaodong looked at Miao Xuanxuan, puzzled.
Miao Xuanxuan said without hesitation, "Yeah."
"Youâre not going out?" Song Xiaodong frowned.
"How can I go out? Iâm supposed to be your girlfriend, eh? If I go out while you change, what would people say about me?"
Song Xiaodongâs frown deepened, "But weâre not, how can I change in front of you?"
"Whatâs the big deal? Itâs not like you have to strip naked," Miao Xuanxuan pouted and then turned her head away, "Hurry up and change."
Since Miao Xuanxuan didnât seem to care, Song Xiaodong promptly turned his back to her and started changing his clothes.
He changed quickly, and just as he finished, he suddenly felt a gaze on him and swiftly turned around, catching Miao Xuanxuan in the act of staring.
"Ha..." Miao Xuanxuan let out a laugh, stuck out her tongue sheepishly, and said, "I just wanted to see what kind of body has such explosive strength to beat Xiao Qiang so badly."
Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Have you seen enough?"
"Not really? Your body is okay, but compared to those guys at the gym, youâre still lacking quite a bit. I really donât get how you have so much strength," she said.
Song Xiaodong came over to Miao Xuanxuan, grabbed her shoulders, and said slowly, "Their muscles are for show, but every inch of muscle on me exists for strength, for explosive power. Want to give it a try?"
"Get lost, go try it on my sister," Miao Xuanxuan swatted away Song Xiaodongâs hands and gave him a huge eye roll.
Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Hey, youâre the one thinking too much. I just meant I could demonstrate my real strength, not that I would use it on you. You wouldnât be thinking dirty, would you?"
"You... you jerk, no wonder my sister calls you a scumbag. You truly are one," Miao Xuanxuan glared at Song Xiaodong and said, "Letâs go, if we donât get out now, those girls are going to think we were up to all sorts of unsavory things in here."
