Chapter 484: Chapter 484

All of Huo Feng’s brothers naturally know about Huo Feng’s strength!

Pan Bo and the others all knew that Brother Feng’s swimming level was very high, he could easily slaughter at least ten of them...

Back in their junior high years, the eleven of them learned to swim together.

The same coach, the same teaching plan, everything was the same, yet Brother Feng was exceptionally outstanding! So outstanding that he even took on the coach head-to-head, and the coach was beaten by him...

So, with such skills, if Pan Bo and the other ten brothers didn’t back Feng, wouldn’t that be deliberately looking to lose?

"Hey, you can’t all bet on me! What’s the point of betting then?"

Huo Feng clapped his hands, encouraging his brothers to bet on someone else, "At least bet half on Yan Ji! He’s not that bad!"

Siyuan stood to the side doing warm-up exercises calmly, letting Huo Feng talk absolute nonsense around him...

"Brother Feng, I’m betting on you anyway!"

Pan Bo was the first to raise his hand and declare, "I don’t care about the others, in the realm of swimming, you’re the strongest I’ve ever seen. Hey, hey, you guys bet on someone else!"

Pan Bo called out to the other brothers, even going as far as to lay his hand on the shoulder of Gu Yang, who was close by, saying, "Yangzi, bet on someone else. I love opposing you the most, so you have to bet differently from me."

Gu Yang shrugged his shoulder, flinging off the hand Pan Bo placed on it, "Why should I? I’m betting on Brother Feng too, I know his strength! I’ve never seen him lose before!"

Their argument made the rest of the brothers almost unanimous in their thinking...

Nobody dared to bet on Yan Siyuan!

Seeing this, Huo Feng truly felt a mix of pride and embarrassment!

"Aww, Yan Ji. Don’t you want to canvass for yourself a bit?"

Huo Feng put his hands on his hips, his eyes slanting towards Siyuan, "You must have some skill to challenge me, right? Surely it’s not just because you think I’m handsome that you want to challenge me, right?"

Siyuan glanced sideways at Huo Feng, took a deep breath, and turned to the row of girls behind him, "Are you going to bet on me? I don’t have much to brag about, but I can guarantee I won’t be worse than a mad dog."

Behind him, Pu Sangzhi, Zhu Dandan, Wen Miao, Shen Nuan, and Ye Qingcao, who always wanted to stay low-key, were all taken aback, not expecting Siyuan to actually turn to them for support.

Honestly, with Siyuan’s good looks and tall figure, and the visible muscles on his body, he indeed provided a sense of security for the girls.

Zhu Dandan, Wen Miao, and Shen Nuan were already wavering in their belief...

Qingcao, needless to say, was a hundred percent in support of Siyuan!

"You’re good, roping in girls to canvass for you."

Huo Feng stepped forward, waving his hand casually over all the girls present, "Except for Sangzhi, feel free to rally anyone else!"

At this remark, who would’ve thought that Pu Sangzhi would be the first to speak up, "I’ll bet on Yan Siyuan. I bet 5 dollars, and Huo Feng is paying."

Huo Feng yelled incredulously at Pu Sangzhi, "You’re my girlfriend! You’re betting on him! Not only are you betting, but you’re also making me pay! Are you crazy?"

This was absolutely the biggest blow Huo Feng had received all year!

Here was a competition where his ten sons all knew to support him, yet Pu Sangzhi was selling him out ! And even asking him to pay! This was truly the greatest betrayal Huo Feng had ever experienced!

Instantly, Huo Feng felt stifled in his heart! Felt a pang! Felt suffocated!

"So many people are betting on you already, if I bet on the opposite and end up winning, I could even earn something back."

Pu Sangzhi explained herself, "Besides, you’ve always been overly confident, often your capabilities don’t match the big talk you make. So, just to be safe, I’d rather bet on Yan Siyuan!"

Huo Feng could maybe accept that first somewhat far-fetched reason.

But that latter statement was a severe blow to Huo Feng!

What does she mean by capabilities not matching the big talk? Is this what Pu Sangzhi really thinks of him!

"Pu Sangzhi, you really are far-sighted,"

Siyuan lifted the corner of his lips towards Pu Sangzhi and at the same time, his gaze swept over the rest of the girls sitting in a row.

Of course, his eyes also flitted over Qingcao’s face, and seeing her fully armed with an intense expression, his sword-like eyebrows involuntarily furrowed, but he didn’t show any other reaction.

"So, ladies, would you like to place your bets on me?"

Siyuan asked, "I may not be able to prove my strength, but I can tell you, mad dog is just someone who loves to brag, inflating his own worth, but whether his actual abilities are that profound, nobody can really tell. I won’t say more, you all are mad dog’s friends, and I trust you know his self-aggrandizing nature better than I."

First to lead with a nod was Shen Nuan, "My big nephew is indeed great at exaggeration! Many times, he starts bragging before he’s even gotten good! So, I’ll pick Yan Siyuan too!" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵

Huo Feng exclaimed in shock at Shen Nuan’s response, "You’re betraying me too?"

Actually, Huo Feng didn’t care about the other girls choosing Yan Siyuan...

But if they chose Yan Siyuan because they thought Huo Feng wasn’t reliable, that’s what Huo Feng really cared about!

How heartless a woman’s heart is!

Next came Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao. The two of them spoke more objectively.

Zhu Dandan said, "Feng is actually very capable. I saw him swim really well just now! I choose Yan Siyuan!"

Wen Miao also said, "Yeah, Feng is indeed excellent in every way, and he’s almost good at every sport. I also choose the handsome guy from Ruizhong."

What kind of twisted compliment is this!?

By now, Huo Feng’s face had turned quite ugly.

The pride he had felt from his friends’ support earlier had vanished without a trace, and now all that remained was a feeling of betrayal, of being stabbed in the heart, of being knifed...

Huo Feng patted his chest, looked up, and let out a sigh, "Ah... Turns out I, Huo Feng, don’t have any luck with girls at all."

Next to him, Yan Siyuan’s smile grew wider, his face brimming with pride.

Seeing Huo Feng so disheartened, why did Yan Siyuan feel so delighted?

"So what are we going to do next?"

Shen Nuan asked eagerly, "Who’s going to be the banker? What are the odds?"

"What are you playing at! Need someone to be the banker? I’ll do it!"

At that moment, a female voice suddenly intervened.

With the arrival of this voice, everyone’s attention was temporarily diverted...

So Chen Chaonan, who had suddenly appeared, became the focal point of everyone’s gaze during this brief moment.

"Chaonan, you’re here!"

Shen Nuan reached out to greet Chen Chaonan.

It was only then that Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao realized this was the middle school classmate Shen Nuan had mentioned earlier!

And Chen Chaonan hadn’t come alone.

By her side was another girl. The two of them, clad in bikini-style swimwear, their long legs in sync, stepped forward and joined Huo Feng and the others.

"Let me introduce everyone," Shen Nuan said.

Standing up, Shen Nuan took Chen Chaonan’s hand, pulled her to the front, and introduced her to the crowd, "This is my middle school classmate, Chen Chaonan. We were in the same class, and her grades were much better than mine; she now attends No. 3 Middle School. The other one is Chaonan’s cousin, Chen Ruonan, who also attends No. 3 Middle School, both are my friends!"

One Chen Chaonan, one Chen Ruonan...

With the sudden addition of two girls to the group, the previously male-dominated gang gained a touch of feminine charm.

The ten brothers still lounging in the pool quickly got out upon seeing this, tousling their hair and walking over with a cool and handsome air.

Before long, the men and women lined up, each giving a brief introduction.

Then, Pan Bo, the most sociable of the lot, stepped forward to explain the earlier competition and betting.

Only then did Chen Chaonan and Chen Ruonan learn the full story of what had happened.

As they both worked hard to integrate into the group, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng had barely said anything.

Huo Feng was feeling quite depressed. He hadn’t yet recovered from the girls’ collective snub...

Meanwhile, Sangzhi’s expression darkened upon seeing Chen Chaonan.

Sangzhi’s gaze continually sized up Chen Chaonan, noting that Chaonan occasionally glanced at Huo Feng with clear intent.

Sangzhi wasn’t typically a jealous woman, but for some reason, when a threatening figure appeared, it was still easy for her mood to be affected...

Just like now, with the arrival of Chen Chaonan, her mood had already taken a turn for the worse.

"Let’s start betting then!"

After some simple introductions and getting to know each other, and while the atmosphere was still lively, Pan Bo eagerly spoke up, "Give everyone a minute to think carefully whether to bet on Feng winning or this Ruizhong brother! And how much to bet! Come on, let’s rev it up! Heat it up!"

Instantly, the atmosphere at the scene heated up...

Instantly, the competition between Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan became more serious!

This was the first official face-off between Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan. Although neither held the other in high regard, the competition was paramount!

They were both going to give it their all!
