252 Chapter 252. Looking Down on
Ding Shan was still in doubt and looked at the team member, who was still trembling.
Why did she feel that this oppressive and Mysterious Person X was the one who bullied her team member?
Ding Shan gave the team member a warm smile. “What just happened? Did you guys fight? Or is there a conflict?”
When he saw Ding Shan smiling so gently at someone else, Xiang Hong’s face immediately darkened. A sense of displeasure and jealousy welled up in his heart.
Xiang Hong did not expect that Ding Shan would not believe his words or even smile at someone else!
“No, the captain just asked me to follow everyone. We have no conflicts. I like the captain very much!” When the trembling team members saw Xiang Hong’s cold eyes, they immediately shook their heads frantically, denying Ding Shan’s guess.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to tell her, Ding Shan did not continue asking. “Alright then, since nothing happened, you guys take a break and do some stretching exercises. Later on, you guys will go back with the rest.”
After saying that, Ding Shan turned her head and saw a tall, handsome man looking at her with his arms crossed. His eyes seemed to be filled with dissatisfaction and a trace of grievance.
The slight grievance quickly disappeared. Ding Shan felt that she must have been mistaken. The man in front of her was a natural-born expert. He didn’t look like the kind of person who would have weak emotions.
Xiang Hong waved his hand, gesturing for them to go and get some water. He still wanted to have a few words with Ding Shan.
After the team members left, Xiang Hong was about to speak when a cheerful and expectant voice sounded, “Teacher Ding, I’ve already led them to run eight laps. I saw that the first team went over to get some water. Can we rest too?”
Ding Shan turned her head and saw Wen Xiu’s sparkling eyes looking at her. Probably because they had run for too long, Wen Xiu was a little breathless when he spoke. Sweat was also dripping from his forehead, and his chest was violently heaving.
Wen Xiu looked at her, his eyes filled with pure anticipation as if he was a child who had done a good deed and wanted to be praised.
This kind of gaze was too harmless and could easily arouse a woman’s desire to protect. Even the most heartless woman would be soft-hearted under such a gaze.
Ding Shan couldn’t help but sigh in her heart, ‘He’s amazing; he’s so good at acting.’
Although ding Shan did not want to bother Wen Xiu, Wen Xiu had not done anything wrong so far. She could not make things difficult for Wen Xiu in front of the trainees. Moreover, she had to draw hatred for Wen Xiu. Hence, Ding Shan could only suppress her disgust and show Wen Xiu a gentle smile. “It’s been hard on you. You guys can go over there and get some water to drink.”
“Alright, Teacher Ding! By the way, can I get you a bottle of water too?” After Wen Xiu finished speaking, he seemed a little embarrassed as he lowered his head with a red face. Then, he quickly raised his head to look at Ding Shan, looking like a nervous and shy pure male student.
Ding Shan felt disgusted at the sight of Wen Xiu’s hypocritical mask. She was about to reject him when Xiang Hong’s cold voice with a hint of irritation rang out. “Are you done?”
The perfect smile on Wen Xiu’s face froze, and a hint of resentment flashed across his eyes. He innocently smiled and said to Xiang Hong, “What’s wrong? Can’t I show some concern for Teacher Ding? This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you. Teacher Ding didn’t even say anything. It’s not very polite of you to interrupt our conversation like this, okay?”
In Xiang Hong’s eyes, Wen Xiu was just a hypocritical and laughable clown. He didn’t even put Wen Xiu in his eyes, but he was a little annoyed that he had interrupted his time with Ding Shan, and also that disgusting and scheming look he had when he looked at Ding Shan.
“First of all, you’re the one who interrupted our conversation. Also, Miss Ding is a celebrity mentor; it’s not up to you, a member of the battle team, to care about her.” Xiang Hong disdainfully snorted, “You came here by relying on your abilities. Don’t think of climbing up the social ladder all day long. I despise men who rely on women the most.”
“You …” Wen Xiu’s face turned red with anger as he gritted his teeth.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, Ding Shan spoke up, “We’ll all be teammates of the same battle team in the future, so stop arguing. Wen Xiu, you can bring your team members over first.”
Ding Shan seemed to be trying to ease the conflict between them, but she was quietly retorting Wen Xiu’s rebuttal.
Unable to vent the anger in his heart, Wen Xiu was so angry that his expression was twisted. Ultimately, he could only glare at Xiang Hong before turning around and leaving.
