Abandoned Princesses
Race Started! (2)

Ding Fanfan turned his head towards the right and left in turn, cautiously.

Please note, after Qiao Rong told him to go to the southeast, he felt very lucky to find a red flag. But after five seconds of pride, he realized that Qiao Rong already knew that there was a red flag at that location.

Sighing disappointed, Ding Fanfan could only walk away to try to catch up with his team again. Just a few minutes later, he encountered a red flag tied to a tree.

I'm really lucky!

Ding Fanfan's eyes twinkled as he picked up the flag. However, just like before, he realized that even luck would not appear so coincidentally. Ding Fanfan felt strange. He felt something suspicious.

His feelings say that this is not just a coincidence.

But, he would never know if there was a shadow of a woman stalking him from earlier behind a tree.

*****

The first thing Liu Liwei felt after coming to her senses and opening her eyes slowly was the intense pain that radiated throughout her body. He felt nausea and stomach pain due to Lu Mingzhi's successful fist hitting his stomach. But just as he wanted to change the position of his body to sit, a cold hand intercepted him. Liu Liwei immediately turned his gaze to the left.

Zhen Mingran was the owner of that cold hand, but the cold temperature was inversely proportional to his gaze filled with worry and warmth. The woman sat beside the bed where Liu Liwei was lying.

Right now, they were in the male dormitory, precisely in Liu Liwei and Ding Fanfan's room.

"Don't. Your body has not recovered. About your room. .. I've already obtained permission from the professor to enter the male dormitory." Zhen Mingran explained.

"Cold ..." Upon hearing Liu Liwei's words that sounded in pain, Zhen Mingran immediately retracted his hand.

"I-Sorry ..." Zhen Mingran's words were stammered, but his aura of elegance never dissipated even though he was apologizing.

Zhen Mingran's light blue long hair was actually still touching Liu Liwei's arm and making him feel the same chill as Zhen Mingran's hand. But the man was busy thinking about other things so that the cold was not so pronounced.

"What about the match?!" Now that there was no more Zhen Mingran's hand intercepting him, he managed to turn into a sitting position quickly. But a few seconds later, he had to groan in pain as his body was still recovering from Lu Mingzhi's fist.

The corners of Zhen Mingran's mouth lifted slightly hearing Liu Liwei's groans, yet the person who saw him would not have thought that he was smiling.

Zhen Mingran could only stare towards the door of that open room.

There were two familiar voices outside.

"I'm telling you, maybe I'm fat, but I'm not a fool!" Ding Fanfan's voice dominated the dormitory corridor in front of the room.

Qiao Rong was stunned for a while while propping up his chin with his right hand. It looks like he is thinking.

"This problem .. I still have to think about" he said calmly.

It could not have been so coincidental, and it was impossible for the location of the flag to move by itself.

There must be someone behind this. Thought Qiao Rong.

Butwhy? Why is that person helping them? The only reason Qiao Rong could think of was simply to dissuade Lu Mingzhi from winning. Butwhy? And more importantly, who? Who would not want Lu Mingzhi to win this race?

Come to think of it, the person who could move the flag would definitely not be an indiscriminate person. He must have a special way to move the flag that can recognize ownership once touched, and of course has reached the level of cultivation of the Sun to be able to know the location of the flags.

The flags were placed at random using a transfer spell. Qiao Rong already knew about it due to getting information from the professors one week ago in preparation for the race. It was impossible that the cultivation of the person who helped them had yet to reach the level of the Sun.

"He's conscious." Zhen Mingran's speech broke the reverie of Qiao Rong.

Ding Fanfan, who was arguably Liu Liwei's best friend immediately rushed into the room, followed by Qiao Rong who was still overwhelmed with curiosity.

"The race?! What about the race?!" Liu Liwei could not help his curiosity and directly asked in a high tone towards his team members. Of course he had to know the outcome of the race, otherwise, wouldn't his sacrifice have been in vain?

"you reckon? Of course win, you fool!" Ding Fanfan told Liu Liwei with a laugh, clutching his distended stomach happily. "Don't forget to treat me to the noodle stall at the crossroad, hahaha!" After laughing, in an instant the look on his happy face disappeared and became a serious expression. Ding Fanfan was very serious about food-related matters.

Liu Liwei only replied with a clack, but his facial expression could not hide the sense of pleasure and pride he felt.

Liu Liwei continuously smiled, until finally a few seconds later he could not hide his outburst of delight.

"Wohoooo! We have to celebrate this victory, don't we?" So happy, he immediately stood up and hugged Zhen Mingran and Ding Fanfan who were standing right beside his bed.

Ding Fanfan only laughed back, while Zhen Mingran blushed in embarrassment.

As soon as the hug was over, Liu Liwei immediately complained and went back to lying down while groaning in pain.

Ding Fanfan laughed at Liu Liwei until his stomach hurt.

However, Qiao Rong simply fell silent behind them while thinking about the matter of the flag. This was his secret with Ding Fanfan, he did not feel the need to tell Zhen Mingran and Liu Liwei about the truth behind their victory. After all, he and Ding Fanfan had already agreed to keep it a secret.

"By the way, how can we win? Uh! Didn't I miss the race?! What about the prize?!" Liu Liwei attacked them with questions.

Qiao Rong took in a breath to get rid of those thoughts temporarily from himself. He took a few steps forward until he arrived beside Liu Liwei's bed.

"You should ask Ding Fanfan, he won 6 points alone with two red flags. We just won that purple flag, didn't we?" Qiao Rong glanced towards Zhen Mingran and Ding Fanfan. "Just relax, the handover of the prize will wait for you to fully recover, we've already begged Professor Tang," continued Qiao Rong.

Liu Liwei smiled hearing the word 'gift'. But he quickly turned his gaze towards Ding Fanfan. "really?" Liu Liwei looked at Ding Fanfan in disbelief, her eyebrows rising next to her in doubt.

"Of course, I told you I'm a lucky man." Ding Fanfan could only pretend to smile arrogantly.
