I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With

Chapter 1180: Extra – Dabai and Erxi 31

But from start to finish, he didn’t dare to look at her even once.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but rather, she was already married to another, and he had long lost the right to be obsessed with her.

Thinking of this, Qiao Nancheng felt slightly distracted, and this absent-minded expression fell into the eyes of his opponent, immediately igniting the opponent’s fighting spirit!

His opponent was slightly older, surnamed Zhang, and in the industry, he was given the nickname "Cockroach."

He had once won the provincial lightweight boxing championship, known for his fierce and ruthless style. Generally, people didn’t like to encounter such a rogue style in official matches. Firstly, it consumed too much energy; secondly, it could lead to anything from skin bruises to hospital visits!

This time, Qiao Nancheng faced "Cockroach," and many commentators said it counted as bad luck for Qiao Nancheng!

If he were defeated by Cockroach, then Qiao Nancheng would likely be severely impacted!

Cockroach’s eyes gleamed with intensity, beginning the match with a fierce offensive, catching Qiao Nancheng off guard!

Qiao Nancheng raised his gloves to defend, and under Cockroach’s dense attacks and close pressing, he was nearly pushed to the edge of the ropes.

"Bang! Bang!" Twice, Qiao Nancheng fell to the ground, and the referee stepped forward to start counting.

"One, two, three..."

By the count of five, Qiao Nancheng gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up.

Cockroach repeated his tactics, and Qiao Nancheng fell to the ground a second time!

The arena was filled with boos, especially from the many ardent young fans who had traveled from afar to watch Qiao Nancheng fight, their emotions were stirred.

"What’s happening to dear Qiao today? He never suffered like this even when fighting national-level fighters!"

"It feels like he’s being suppressed by Cockroach... Ugh, poor brother, hit me instead, don’t hit brother!"

"No, I think he’s out of form; look at his wobbly steps. Is he worthy of our fan support?"

"Hey, if you think you can do better, then step up! Don’t slander our dear Qiao!"

The fans were arguing fiercely, while in the VIP seating area, Ning Xixi’s heart was in her throat.

She and Cheng Youran were holding hands, both so tense that their palms were sweaty.

When Qiao Nancheng fell for the third time, and Cockroach shamelessly punched him in the head, the two girls almost burst into tears!

"Can’t he stop fighting... admitting defeat is okay too..."

"Yeah, if he keeps fighting like this, he’ll definitely end up in the hospital..."

Ji Yebai and Xiao Xichen exchanged glances, each seeing the helplessness in the other’s eyes.

Nobody wants to lose, but if you wish to win, who can achieve it easily?

Those more talented than you work even harder, such is the cruelty of competitive sports.

This time, when the referee counted to nine, Qiao Nancheng got up, his body shaky, his eyes seemingly out of focus, yet instinctively glanced in Ning Xixi’s direction.

Damn it... he clearly didn’t want to lose, yet just knowing Ning Xixi was present, he couldn’t perform normally...

A sharp, cold gaze met his eyes.

In a split second, Ji Yebai calmly wrapped his arm around Ning Xixi, his large hand covering her eyes.

"Hmm?" Ning Xixi was puzzled, as Ji Yebai’s cool voice reached her ears, "If you watch him, he’ll feel pressured."

Ning Xixi lightly bit her cherry lips.

Meanwhile, on stage, Qiao Nancheng felt a weight lifted off his shoulders, his fierce eyes glared at his opponent, without any more scruples, he immediately launched a powerful counterattack!

Cockroach was so intimidated by his formidable aura that cold sweat appeared on his forehead...

Three minutes later.

Qiao Nancheng calmly removed his gloves and stepped off the stage, while behind him laid Cockroach, sprawled on the ground, unable to get up!
