169: Chapter 169: Uninvited Request 169: Chapter 169: Uninvited Request Lin Fei sat behind Xiao Ling, inserting silver needles one by one into several acupuncture points on Xiao Ling’s lumbar spine.
Xiao Ling’s brows were tightly furrowed, clearly, the pain in his lumbar spine was severe.
Around the court, Lin Fei’s fans and Xiao Ling’s fans were quietly watching Lin Fei treat Xiao Ling.
Lin Fei, a rival of Xiao Ling, unexpectedly extended a helping hand to Xiao Ling.
This gesture and magnanimity made all of Xiao Ling’s fans feel ashamed.
Even Xu Long and Zheng Bing, a few tennis players, felt guilty.
When Xiao Ling was defeated miserably, weren’t they gloating over his misfortune?
Even when Xiao Ling was injured and fell to the ground unable to get up, they were indifferent and unsympathetic.
Compared to Lin Fei’s generosity, they were far behind.
Yuan Yuxi and Wang Yixin saw Lin Fei using acupuncture to treat Xiao Ling, making them increasingly convinced that their love for Lin Fei was justified—his benevolence as a healer and his broad-mindedness.
Perhaps this was the main reason they loved him deeply.
The referee and several gym staff also highly praised Lin Fei’s actions.
As for Lin Fei’s fans, there’s no need to mention it.
Such a Lin Fei, who could dominate the court and transform into Hua Tuo to save lives, was the perfect idol in their hearts, making them worship Lin Fei even more fanatically.
Ten minutes later, Lin Fei withdrew several silver needles from Xiao Ling’s lumbar region, and the pain on Xiao Ling’s face had greatly diminished.
He did not expect that after Lin Fei’s acupuncture, the pain in his lumbar spine would disappear without a trace.
Lin Fei stood up and said to Xiao Ling, “The nerves in your lumbar spine are fine now, you can try standing up.
However, for the next two or three days, you should rest more and avoid intense exercises.”
Xiao Ling, half skeptical, tried to slowly stand up from the ground.
When he fully stood up, he found that his once excruciatingly painful lumbar spine was unscathed.
He was speechless with surprise; did Lin Fei really cure his lumbar pain?
This medical skill was simply outstanding.
“Did you really cure my lumbar spine?” Xiao Ling asked, coming to his senses after a while, genuinely thanking Lin Fei: “Lin Fei, thank you!”
After saying this, Xiao Ling involuntarily extended his palm to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei graciously extended his palm and shook hands with him, “You’re welcome.
Speaking of which, your lumbar injury began because of me.
Alright, that’s it; it’s not early, I should go for a meal.”
After speaking, Lin Fei let go of his hand and walked towards the gym’s main entrance.
Xiao Ling found that there was a car key in his palm, which was precisely the car key he wanted the referee to give to Lin Fei.
However, Lin Fei had slyly returned the car key to his hand during their handshake.
Xiao Ling immediately said to Lin Fei, “Lin Fei, why give the car key back to me?
This was our bet, I lost, so the car key should belong to you.
Honestly, I can afford a Bentley.”
Lin Fei turned around, looked at Xiao Ling, and said, “So, you’re saying I can’t return your car?”
“That’s right!” Xiao Ling replied without hesitation.
“But I have an unsolicited request.”
Lin Fei asked, “What unsolicited request?”
“My unsolicited request is to be friends with you,” Xiao Ling looked at Lin Fei sincerely.
After this open tournament, from wanting to defeat and humiliate Lin Fei, to feeling unprecedented defeat and being injured, he no longer harbored hostility towards Lin Fei, let alone arrogance.
Lin Fei’s treatment made him genuinely grateful.
Now, the embarrassment from his defeat was gone, all thanks to Lin Fei extending a helping hand.
So he felt that Lin Fei was truly a friend worth having.
Lin Fei shrugged and said, “Sure, it’s just becoming friends.
However, I don’t need your car; I can’t drive anyway.”
With that, Lin Fei walked out of the gym, showing no concern for declining a 4 million Bentley, his departure was that of a dashing demeanor.
It wasn’t until Lin Fei disappeared from the venue’s doors that everyone came to their senses, and suddenly, a voice of surprise erupted, “My God, Lin Fei just refused a 4 million Bentley like that?”
“Idol, a 4 million Bentley couldn’t move Lin Fei?”
“How strong must his inner strength be?”
Lin Fei’s fans were almost brainless with their admiration for the enigmatic Lin Fei.
Yuan Yuxi and Wang Yixin came back to their senses, saw that Lin Fei had already left the gym, and immediately chased after him.
Xiao Ling showed a slight smile on his face.
Lin Fei agreed to become his friend and even refused his Bentley, which showed that Lin Fei truly regarded him as a friend.
However, he had a new idea, which was to buy a new Bentley later and send it to Lin Fei’s residence.
Since he regarded Lin Fei as a real friend, giving him the Bentley he had driven before seemed insincere.
“Boss, is your back alright?” At this moment, Xu Zixuan and Li Qing, a few members of the Huadu Seven Children, approached Xiao Ling with concern.
However, Xiao Ling looked indifferent.
In his most embarrassing moment, none of these friends, whom he regarded as brothers, stood up to help him.
Now that the situation was resolved, they all came out to show concern.
This is what so-called brothers are like.
At the same time, around him, Xiao Ling’s fans slowly approached, offering concern and comfort: “Prince Xiao, it’s okay to lose this time, you can definitely win next time.”
“Even losing to Lin Fei, such a rival deserves everyone’s respect.”
“Prince Xiao, we will always support you, and also Lin Fei!”
Xiao Ling did not expect that the fans who had abandoned him would come to comfort him and express continued support for him.
This was unexpected; he thought that with this defeat, he would lose everything as well.
But now, his fans were back.
Of course, he understood that the reason these fans continued to support him was all thanks to Lin Fei extending his helping hand.
It was Lin Fei’s generosity that made his fans decide to support him again after his defeat.
This was evident from his fans who expressed support for both him and Lin Fei.
Indeed, even though he lost to Lin Fei, such an opponent was still worthy of respect.

However, at a quiet spot on campus, Lin Fei stood on a rock, looked behind, and breathed a long sigh of relief: “I’m so clever; I’ve finally avoided having to sign so many autographs for fans.
Otherwise, I might have signed until my hand broke.”
Just having escaped from his fans, he had to part with a 4 million luxury car.
Of course, he was naturally indifferent; even a 4 million Bentley couldn’t make him worry for long.
Moreover, when he returned the car key to Xiao Ling, he didn’t intend to keep his car.
A 4 million Bentley was indeed valuable, but compared to gaining Xiao Ling as a true friend, it seemed less important.
Huadu University had ten elites, and the power dynamics were intricate.
Now having Xiao Ling, one of the top ten elites, as a friend, would make things much easier for him at Huadu University.
Just as Lin Fei was about to step down from the rock, he suddenly heard the sound of a woman groaning, “Ah!
Ah!
Ah!~~~”
Lin Fei immediately thought of inappropriate scenes.
Could someone really be so desperate in broad daylight, sneaking around in this secluded place?
