"What about Yuqian? Before I went to the bathroom, she seemed to be with you, right?" I haven't seen Su Yuqian since I found Yuan Muxi. Clearly, something happened, but where did she run off to? As I looked around, Yuan Muxi pointed to an exit and said somewhat sheepishly, "Yuqian went over there."

"Over there?" I followed Yuan Muxi's direction and saw a crowd gathering, looking lively, like some temporary concert by an idol. No... that couldn't be right, I denied it in my heart.

"Well, you see, Yuqian dragged me over there, but I thought it would be troublesome if Youjie couldn't find us later, so I came to tell Youjie. But then, something happened on the way," Yuan Muxi said, still a bit shaken.

"Thank goodness... Youjie showed up. Otherwise... I really wouldn't know what to do," I replied.

"It's good that Muxi is okay," Yuan Muxi nodded.

"Alright, let's go to where Yuqian is now..."

"Ah... yes, okay..." Yuan Muxi nodded again, and we headed towards the exit. As we walked, I asked, "By the way, what is Yuqian doing over there? Is there some event going on, like a concert?"

"Not a concert... it's not that," Yuan Muxi shook her head.

"Then what is it?"

"I didn't pay much attention to it," Yuan Muxi said, blushing slightly as she averted her gaze.

"I see... well, let's go and see for ourselves," I said, curious about what it could be if not a concert.

As we exited, the sound from the speakers made me cover my ears.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!" It was a passionate and exciting sound. What on earth was going on? After adjusting to the sudden high decibel level, I saw a makeshift stage with no decorations, just a clear steel frame. But behind the stage, there was a large screen showing some kind of live broadcast.

"This... this... this... is an amazing finishing move! It perfectly KO'd the opponent!" The host on stage seemed to be losing control of their emotions.

I looked at the screen again. It seemed to be a fighting game, with two characters using their skills to deplete each other's health bars. The goal of a fighting game is to reduce the opponent's health bar to zero, right? On the screen, there was a female character wearing a fitness outfit with a touch of ancient style, and the other was a burly man in a judo uniform.

The two seemed evenly matched, but the burly man had a slight advantage. He successfully blocked the female character's frequent attacks.

"Oh, SYX's controlled Sakazaki Yuriko seems to be having a hard time with her combo, while WJ's controlled Daimon Goro has the upper hand. And his energy bar is full, will he unleash his special move?" The host created a tense atmosphere. They really knew how to keep the audience hooked. By the way, Sakazaki Yuriko sounded familiar, but I couldn't quite remember.

"It's happening! Daimon Goro's hidden super special move!!!!!" The host seemed like they were about to shout their lungs out. The high decibel sound from the speakers was just noisy and irritating.

The people in the audience didn't seem to mind at all, their eyes fixed on the live broadcast, their excitement rising. Was a fighting game really that interesting?

"Will the match reveal the answer?" The female character named Sakazaki Yuriko on the screen was hit by a move from Daimon Goro that seemed like a foul. The screen suddenly turned blue, and the character seemed unable to move, only being hit by a barrage of attacks. This move was too fierce, as if it could crack the ground for over ten meters. It was truly a special move, exaggerated and unbelievable.

Amidst my astonishment, I also felt sorry for Sakazaki Yuriko. After being hit by such an attack, she couldn't get up...

"No way... SYX's controlled Sakazaki Yuriko still has a sliver of health left. She's in a dangerous situation where even a slight touch could KO her."

I couldn't believe it. I didn't think there was anything left to see, as it seemed like the match had already been decided. But when I heard the host say something unexpected, I couldn't help but look up.

It was true that Sakazaki Yuri still had a tiny bit of HP left. Even a slight touch would declare the match over. What chance did she have? Her opponent still had half of their HP remaining, and they looked fierce and difficult to handle. For some reason, my heart started to race. The two characters on the screen just stood there, seemingly not intending to make a move.

"There's not much time left. Is WJ planning to waste time to secure victory?" the host asked.

"Ahahaha, Miss, I've already won this final match," a confident voice came from the stage. It seemed like he believed the outcome was already decided.

As I was starting to feel curious about this opponent of Sakazaki Yuri, I looked towards her and suddenly realized that she was wearing a swimsuit. Why did that swimsuit look so familiar? Su... Su Yuqian! I almost blurted out. How did she end up participating in this kind of competition?

"Now it's a bit too early to be happy," Su Yuqian said with a mischievous smile.

"Do you still think you can kill me with this little bit of HP? You're too naive, Miss," the man called WJ seemed to not take Su Yuqian's words seriously.

"Even if I don't have to fight you, I can still waste enough time to exhaust you. So, Miss, don't waste your energy and just admit defeat. The final prize belongs to me, ahaha!" The man proudly let go of the joystick and buttons.

"This is my chance..." Su Yuqian quickly controlled Sakazaki Yuri and rushed forward, delivering a powerful punch. Goro Daimon momentarily froze, and only then did the man realize what was happening. He desperately manipulated the joystick and pressed the buttons, but it seemed to be too late. Sakazaki Yuri also unleashed her hidden ultimate move, and the screen showed an explosive scene. Goro Daimon's HP bar emptied and he fell to the ground. The match was over.

So, Sakazaki Yuri won? No, it should be said that Su Yuqian won the final victory.

"I didn't expect SYX to make such a beautiful comeback. It's truly unbelievable. Therefore, the winner of today's King of Fighters tournament is SYX!!!!!" the host announced. Su Yuqian faced the audience with a smile, while the man, on the other hand, grumbled unhappily and left with regretful tears.

"Congratulations, SYX. It was a wonderful match," the host shook hands with Su Yuqian and presented her with the prize, which turned out to be a gold medal hanging around her neck.

After thanking the host, she turned to the audience, proudly showing off her victory. Although I didn't know how to express it, I was happy for her. I smiled and watched her. At that moment, she seemed to notice me and her face turned red. She quickly averted her gaze.

Until the end of the event, she never looked directly at me. What did I do to make her unhappy?

"Yuqian..." Yuan Muxi waved at Su Yuqian and called out to her. Su Yuqian slowly walked over, still wearing the gold medal around her neck. It was engraved with the words "Fighting Game Master." Su Yuqian noticed that I was staring at the medal and quickly covered it with her hand.

What's wrong with just looking at it?

"It's almost noon... Let's go eat something," Su Yuqian said hesitantly.

"Speaking of which, it's almost noon. Let's go eat something," Yuan Muxi agreed.

"What do you think, Youjie?" Yuan Muxi asked me.

"I'm starting to feel hungry too. It's normal since it's almost noon," I replied.

"Then let's go to that open-air café and get something to eat," Su Yuqian suggested.

"Shouldn't we change clothes first?" Yuan Muxi said, somewhat concerned.

"No need... It's nearby," Su Yuqian replied.

"But... I feel shy wearing just a swimsuit."

"You can borrow my shirt."

"Um..."

"Just wait a moment." Su Yuqian ran straight to the women's changing room and took out the shirt she was wearing. She handed it to Yuan Muxi, who seemed reluctant but still accepted it and put it on.

"It seems a bit difficult to button up," Yuan Muxi struggled to fasten the buttons.

"Well, let me help you... Idiot, look over there," she said to me while offering assistance.

"Why?" I protested.

"You were staring at Muxi's chest just now," Su Yuqian gave me a disdainful look. Well, I didn't mean to, my gaze just naturally went in that direction. But even if I explained, it would only be seen as an excuse. And when Yuan Muxi noticed, her face turned red and she looked extremely embarrassed. Forget it, I obediently turned away. Although I couldn't see, I could still hear a voice that I didn't really want to hear but couldn't help but listen to.

"Um... it's... it's tight."

"Why is it so hard to button up? Is my shirt too small?" Su Yuqian said in confusion.

"Maybe it's because of my... chest," Yuan Muxi replied.

"Have you grown recently? Before... Idiot, cover my ears and don't eavesdrop," Su Yuqian ordered me before finishing her sentence. Well, I didn't want to listen either, so I had no choice but to cover my ears.

"Try harder, Muxi, take a deep breath," even though I covered my ears, I could still hear the sound.

"Mmm..." I then heard Yuan Muxi taking a deep breath.

"Ah, finally, it's buttoned up."

"Is it?" Yuan Muxi sighed in relief, but then... I heard a sound of something breaking.

"Ah... the button actually broke."

"We're really helpless," Su Yuqian also showed a helpless expression. After that, Yuan Muxi could only tuck the hem of her shirt and make do with it.
