[Accidental Fate Card triggered unexpectedly]
This can happen too, an unexpected trigger?
Alex was stunned, and before he could react, his foot suddenly slipped, and he lost control, falling toward the rushing Yu Xinyao.
The two collided heavily. With a muffled grunt, Yu Xinyao, lacking his strength, was quickly knocked to the ground, and Alex's body pressed down on her.
Both his hands accidentally landed on Yu Xinyao's chest, and for some reason, Yu Xinyao's legs were locked around Alex's waist.
The two instantly transformed from their previous confrontation into an ambiguous position. The two people on the side couldn't react in time.
At this moment, in Alex's vision, data was refreshing frantically.
Experience: 1/20.
Experience: 3/20.
Experience: 5/20.
Soon the experience points for level 2 Grappling Technique became seven. The speed of earning experience refreshed Alex's imagination. In this instant, he realized the true usage of the Grappling Technique.
Yu Xinyao groaned and slowly woke up. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Alex pressing down on her. Then, a strange feeling came from her chest, making her understand what was going on, and her mind went blank.
After a moment of daze, Yu Xinyao's face flushed red. She shouted in shame and anger, "You… hurry up and get up!"
Perhaps because of the position, her voice sounded a bit breathless when she spoke, sounding soft and cute. She looked like a defeated general who had shed her armor, instantly changing from the previous strong persona to a weak, soft girl. The contrast was quite large, and even those dark circles that affected her appearance looked inexplicably cute.
At this point, the experience points had risen to ten. Although Alex really wanted to continue, considering the girl's feelings, he intended to just let it be. But just as he climbed halfway up, his foot was tripped by Yu Xinyao's foot, and he fell down again.
Experience: 11/20.
Experience: 13/20.
"Ah~" Yu Xinyao screamed, but from her expression, it didn't look like she was in much pain.
"You're doing this on purpose!" Yu Xinyao was angry from embarrassment and started pinching him randomly with her small hands.
"It's not my fault, you tripped me." Alex protested, though he knew the real reason was that the effect of the Accidental Fate Card had not yet passed.
"Get your dog paws off me!" Yu Xinyao said with a blushing face, full of shame and indignation.
Alex, while watching the experience points rise to fifteen, reluctantly moved his hands away. This girl didn't look like she had much of a figure, but in reality, the sensation she gave him was quite good.
Glancing at the two dumbfounded companions on the side, Yu Xinyao was extremely embarrassed and urged in a low voice, "Hurry up and get up!"
Alex knew that getting up from her wasn't that simple, but he couldn't continue like this; it would be too obvious and he would be suspected of doing it on purpose. So he said, "Open your legs a bit wider, don't trip me again."
Hearing his words, Yu Xinyao was ashamed and indignant, but she silently opened her legs.
Alex tried to get up again. He first let his hands support him on the ground on both sides of Yu Xinyao, avoiding contact with her, then pushed his body up, exerted force with his legs, and stood up.
Miao Meiyuan and Yan Bianman behind him finally came to their senses and hurried over to help support Alex.
Alex was startled, "Wait, I can do it myself."
But it was too late. Miao Meiyuan tripped over her own left foot with her right, exclaimed, and fell flat on the ground into Alex.
At the critical moment, Yan Bianman reached out and pulled Miao Meiyuan back, but a shrill scream rang out. The two looked over, shaken, and were stunned for a moment.
Alex didn't know how he fell, but his body rotated 180 degrees, just in the opposite direction to Yu Xinyao…
Experience: 17/20.
Experience: 19/20.
Experience: 20/20.
Grappling Technique Level 3, Experience: 0/40.
…In the end, Alex and Yu Xinyao were separated. Alex thought of a solution that wasn't really a solution; he exerted force with his hands and feet to support himself on the ground, lifting his body into the air, allowing Yu Xinyao below to crawl out.
However, this method of his was really confusing and was unanimously condemned by the three girls, who believed he was doing it on purpose.
Yu Xinyao excitedly proposed a life-and-death duel with him, believing he had humiliated her.
Miao Meiyuan also angrily expressed that she wanted to avenge her good friend. In the end, the two furious girls were held back by Yan Bianman, so a bloody incident was avoided.
Miao Meiyuan glared at Alex hatefully and left with the severely psychologically traumatized Yu Xinyao. Before leaving, Yu Xinyao still looked sickly, but her gaze toward Alex appeared extremely complex, seemingly angry, yet also shy, with an indescribable emotion hidden within.
Alex sighed. He just wanted to use a few girls to grind skill experience, but because of an Accidental Fate Card, he caused this situation. Yu Xinyao probably hated him to death, but he hadn't expected Miao Meiyuan to be so angry as well. It seemed Miao Meiyuan valued friendship quite a bit and was willing to stand up for her friends.
"They've all left. Don't you have anything to say?" the girl beside him said with a smile.
Alex turned to look at Yan Bianman and sighed, "If I say it was an accident, would you believe me?"
Yan Bianman shook her head with a smile.
"I knew it, but it really was an accident." Alex was very helpless.
Yan Bianman was noncommittal and smiled, "I've heard some sisters say that Young Master Alex is an iron-willed straight man; even if you strip naked to flirt with him, he wouldn't take the bait. It seems the rumors aren't true. Yu Xinyao and Miao Meiyuan are quite lucky."
It sounded like praise, but Alex detected a hint of sarcasm.
Regarding Yan Bianman saying he was an iron-willed straight man, that was the impression the previous Alex gave people. At that time, that Alex only wanted to take revenge on Freya and his mind was full of this. Also, because of the things he had done and the background he inadvertently revealed, there were still some little delinquents willing to be with him.
However, everyone who went to hit on him ended in failure without exception, and thus his reputation as an iron-willed straight man came about.
Alex didn't specifically explain this point. He was just curious about what Yan Bianman was thinking. She thought he had taken a fancy to Miao Meiyuan and Yu Xinyao, and stayed behind, but it didn't seem like she wanted to get back at him for them; it seemed like she had other motives.
"However, what those sisters of mine said isn't entirely false. There were clearly three people, but Young Master Alex ignored one of them, showing favoritism. Am I not seductive enough?"
Yan Bianman suddenly changed the subject and said in a resentful tone, her charming eyes veiled in a layer of mist.
"Cough…" Alex almost choked to death on her divine plot twist.
Seeing Alex remain silent, Yan Bianman added gloomily, "Three sisters are surely more exciting than two, right? Can Young Master Alex only handle two?"
Three is also fine… Alex really wanted to reply, but he held back. He felt this wasn't what Yan Bianman really thought. This girl stayed behind on purpose; there must be something she wanted to say to him.
