Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1609: Esports Tournament Part 36

"Fuck, another couple signed up for the duo."

"I just knew I shouldn’t have signed up for the duo."

"Are you that dissatisfied with a brother as your duo? Do you want to taste my fist?"

As soon as they entered the waiting room, Xu Feng was caught off guard by the players’ comments.

"What’s with them?" Carmen was dumbfounded by their reaction. She didn’t sense any malice behind the comments, so she was unsure how to respond to it.

"You must be confused by them, right?" A kindhearted person suddenly mused and explained them.

"Do you see those couples over there? If it wasn’t for the rules and regulations, many would have gone after them."

Upon following the traces, both Xu Feng and Carmen saw multiple couples fooling around.

They were embracing, giggling, kissing, and everything that would make a single person want to throw hands.

It wasn’t wrong to say that they only fell short of doing the actual deed because this was ultimately still public view.

Realization dawned upon the two as they then looked down at their hands held.

"You’re not going to get beat up, right?" Carmen immediately teased him. She was definitely not going to be targeted, but it was hard to say for Xu Feng.

Indeed, many men were jealous, but none of them harbored actual ill intent at the women.

They were only focused on their companion.

Only a real psychopath would target a woman, and if it really happened, the collective men wouldn’t hesitate to stop them. Of course, that was only the case if the psychopath was a man and not a woman.

Woman versus woman... men could only step aside and pray for the best.

"I won’t." Xu Feng shook his head. But the very next moment, he dragged her closer and kissed her.

Afraid?

Sorry, but not sorry.

Be jealous of him!

Cry about your single status!

He was an Energy Fighter, so if it came down to a brawl.

He could literally take them all down and even demand compensation from them.

Meanwhile, the kindhearted person who explained the situation quickly expressed a disgusted and disdained face.

Of course, it was directed at Xu Feng and not at Carmen.

Such beauty was actually taken by a despicable man!

It was really unfair!!!

Indeed, he only decided to be kindhearted because he was charmed by Carmen’s beauty and physiques.

Yet his heart was already shattered when the beauty was taken. ’Damn it, why did I even sign up for duo mode with a male friend?’

Now, almost every duo who came with double male pairing were being stared at with weird expressions.

As for the duo with double female pairing, there wasn’t any weird expression.

They were just girls hangout days.

Yes, the double standards were real!

Of course, the most glaring one was still those who came as a couple. Even if they weren’t an actual couple, just the fact that they signed up together said a lot.

’We’re just friends’ or ’We’re just buddies’, these sorts of nonsense excuses, nobody really cared.

This was only one part of the waiting room, but the atmosphere was already oppressive or suffocating.

Or at least that was what Carmen felt.

"Are you not nervous?" She was surprised. When they first arrived on the first day at the stadium, he seemed to have chicken out alongside Zhao Kai.

So how come he was fine now?

"Why would I be nervous?" Xu Feng tilted his head. He then recalled his behavior on the first day and realized she might have misunderstood something.

"Kai and I aren’t used to being an audience. We’re usually always participating or cheering for another. For both of us to be an audience at the same time makes us feel like we don’t belong here." He quickly explained.

"Ah, there’s such a thing?" Carmen was dumbfounded.

She had heard about stage fright, but never about non-participation fright.

Indeed, she was bound to learn new things whenever she was with him.

A few minutes later, one staff member arrived at their room and announced some of the names aloud.

When those who heard it, their faces expressed a mix of delight, excitement, nervousness, and anticipation.

After all, that meant they were going to compete in the first round.

"Thank the Lord. I’d rather go on the field than remain here to watch couples being intimate."

"Finally, get me out of here. If I see any couples in the field, I’m targeting the male and leaving."

"Let them die a tragic fate! To hell with couples!"

As they all rushed to the participating site, both Carmen and Xu Feng could only take a backseat.

Their names weren’t called, so they had the time to relax.

The outside communications were blocked, but they could still access the streaming site.

"Let’s watch the Transmigrated Young Master." Carmen nudged him and suggested to watch the first short drama he starred in.

However, Xu Feng hesitated, mainly because there were quite a few steamy kiss scenes within the short drama.

Although it wouldn’t count as cheating, it certainly had that feeling.

Moreover, he really couldn’t negate the kissing scenes as the one that had inadvertently made the two become a couple.

Yes, it still sounded surreal when recounting the moment.

"Are you worried that I might be jealous from those kiss scenes?" She suddenly lowered her tone. "Relax, if you want me to act in a drama with you, I’d need to learn how they do it. Or are you saying you don’t want to kiss me on camera?"

"I’m afraid I will be more hated in that case." He teased in response.

When he managed to kiss multiple female actresses in the short drama, there were quite a lot of hate comments from men. They accused him of abusing his connection and authority to coerce the female actresses to kiss him.

Truth be told, Xu Feng would have joined in on their campaign too if it wasn’t for the fact that he was the lucky man. ’They should just pray to reincarnate like me.’
