Chapter 485: Chapter 485
Because there were only two options in the competition.
Either Huo Feng won or Yan Ji won, and since there was only one round, the betting method chosen by the guys and the girls also leaned towards simplicity.
The situation was quite clear, divided into a male group and a female group.
The male group supported Huo Feng while the female group unanimously supported Yan Siyuan.
The male group had 10 people, and the female group, with Pu Sangzhi, Zhu Dandan, Wen Miao, Ye Qingcao, Shen Nuan, plus the sisters Chen Chaonan and Chen Ruonan, had a total of 7 entries.
Since there was no bookmaker, everyone bet the same amount: 5 yuan.
The male group put down 50 yuan, while the female group put down 35 yuan. Whichever group won would take the losing side’s staked money.
Although the number of participants and the total amount of money were unequal, this gambling game was really just for fun, so the guys didn’t care much about such a small amount of money.
The people who truly cared about this competition were none other than the participants, Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng.
Huo Feng had agreed to bet on this competition mainly because he wanted to show off his proficient swimming skills in front of Pu Sangzhi! Read complete versıon only at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽
Who would have known, Pu Sangzhi didn’t believe in him and didn’t support him either!
This really made Huo Feng feel upset...
What especially upset Huo Feng was that not only did Pu Sangzhi support Yan Siyuan, but he even made Huo Feng fork out the five yuan to bet on Yan Siyuan!
This was a slap in Huo Feng’s face and a knife in his heart!
So to speak, at this moment, Huo Feng was a bundle of negative energy filled with pain, discomfort, anger, jealousy, and malice!
No matter what, he had to win this competition! He had to show Pu Sangzhi and all the girls watching that he, Huo Feng, was no slouch! That he was the real deal!
Once the competition was confirmed, everyone joined a temporary WeChat group. After the competition, the losing side had to send their 5-yuan bet in the group for the winners to collect.
The competition took place in the deep-water area of the swimming pool.
At this time in the pool, most of the people learning to swim, the middle and elementary school students, stayed in the shallow end, with only a few skilled swimmers, adults, in the deep end.
In short, there weren’t many people in the deep-water area.
Looking around, there were only about three or four people scattered about.
Yan Siyuan suggested treating these adults as obstacles, adding to the difficulty of the competition. If one lost due to obstruction by others, it was deemed as fate.
Huo Feng agreed to the rules he set.
However, after agreeing, when both swam to the deep end to get ready, Huo Feng shouted to two adults in his lane, "Hey! Hey, big bro! Could you give me some space? My friend and I want to have a race, thank you!"
Huo Feng was, without a doubt, thick-skinned.
Asking swimmers to "move" in a public setting was something Yan Siyuan, who was more reserved, could never do...
However, most strangers in society tend to be kind.
People are generally willing to do things that are convenient for others and require a simple gesture.
Consequently, after hearing Huo Feng’s request, the two adults stopped swimming, wiped the water off their faces with their hands, and consciously moved back a bit.
"Big bro, thank you! We’ll just have one round, one minute, yeah!"
Huo Feng thanked the two adults and apologized by raising his palm, his slick words making him appear to have an old hand’s style about him.
Yan Siyuan, standing nearby, observed Huo Feng with a meaningful glance, seeing how naturally he managed to secure the space, and had a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Because he knew, that trait was unique to Huo Feng, something Yan Siyuan did not possess...
And probably, it would be very difficult, if not impossible, for Yan Siyuan to pick up that kind of streetwise air that Huo Feng had.
Yan Siyuan felt a bit envious...
"Big bro, if it’s not too much trouble, could you help me out by distracting him later?"
Huo Feng said to those two accommodating adults, gesturing towards Yan Siyuan as he spoke.
The implication was for the swimmers to interfere with Yan Siyuan...
On the shore, Huo Feng’s buddies heard his words and couldn’t contain their laughter!
"What a strategy! Feng bro!"
"That’s the way, Feng bro!"
"War does not despise deceit! Feng bro!"
The brothers praised and laughed at the same time.
Meanwhile, the girls onshore were all voicing their complaints...
"Hey! That’s not fair! You can’t be dishonest like that!"
"Feng bro! You can’t be so cunning!"
"Feng bro, don’t bully the sincere ones!" The last comment was from Ye Qingcao, who was wearing a mask.
Although her voice mingled with that of the other girls, the moment she spoke, Yan Siyuan’s eyebrows quietly relaxed, and a particularly gentle expression spread across his face...
