Chapter 123 Turning Against Each Other
Pei Zheyan glanced at the man before him, frowning slightly. "Who are you?"
The sleazy man smiled and extended his right hand. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Ma Xiangyang, and I'm the assistant coach for the women's volleyball team at Shanghai University."
Pei Zheyan was taken aback by his words, then immediately became wary. "Why would a teaching assistant from Shanghai University contact me for no reason?"
Ma Xiangyang said, "I have long heard of Dr. Pei's superb medical skills and outstanding talent, so I have come here today to invite you to join our Shanghai University."
Are you kidding me!
Tomorrow is the finals, and as the team doctor for Jiangda University, joining Shanghai University at this time would be a blatant betrayal.
Pei Zheyan immediately refused, saying, "Fine, so this is the kind of tactic you're planning to use to win the championship. But you can forget about it; I will never betray Jiang University."
"Dr. Pei, you've misunderstood. With the strength of our Shanghai team, winning the championship is a piece of cake."
I just felt it was such a waste for someone like you, a PhD graduate who studied abroad, to be stuck with a team that hasn't even won a championship. That's why I sincerely invited you to join us.
"Tch! Do you think I'm stupid enough to believe your nonsense?"
Pei Zheyan didn't care about winning championships at all.
He believed that even if he went to a university in Shanghai, it would still be a waste of his talent.
But if we keep Jiangda, at least we'll still have Xia Bingyu.
Seeing that Pei Zheyan remained unmoved and showed no disappointment whatsoever, Ma Xiangyang noticed that Pei Zheyan was completely unmoved.
He even nodded with a smile, "That's right, I think Dr. Pei, you're really quite foolish. You thought that staying at Jiangda as a team member would win the heart of a beauty, but little did you know that Xia Bingyu had already gotten together with a pretty boy."
Pei Zheyan, who was turning to leave, paused upon hearing this, then abruptly turned back, staring intently at Ma Xiangyang, and angrily retorted, "What pretty boy? What nonsense are you spouting?"
Upon seeing this, Ma Xiangyang smirked, "What, Dr. Pei, don't you know? The young man who came with you this time is Xia Bingyu's kept man."
Pei Zheyan immediately thought of Li Yi, "Impossible! Li Yi is just a mere traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, how could he possibly be worthy of Bingyu?"
Chinese medicine?
Ma Xiangyang was also taken aback when he heard this.
He finally understood what Li Yi did.
However, a mere traditional Chinese medicine practitioner poses absolutely no threat to tomorrow's final.
"Dr. Pei, whether someone is good enough for you isn't for you to decide. Maybe Xia Bingyu just likes handsome young men; otherwise, why would she personally buy underwear for someone else?"
Pei Zheyan was about to retort, but after hearing this, he was stunned again. "What underwear? What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you can see for yourself."
Ma Xiangyang shook his head, then took out his phone and handed it over.
Pei Zheyan took the phone with some skepticism.
But after just one glance, his breath caught in his throat, and his eyes widened immediately.
Because the phone screen was showing Xia Bingyu selecting men's underwear in a supermarket.
Ma Xiangyang's voice rang out again, "Dr. Pei, these are photos I took yesterday at the supermarket near the hotel. Xia Bingyu probably didn't buy these things for you, did she?"
"Impossible! How could Bingyu buy something like this for someone else?"
Even looking at the screen on his phone, Pei Zheyan still couldn't quite believe it.
"Dr. Pei, the facts are laid bare before you now, why deceive yourself?"
Ma Xiangyang shook his head, then walked over and patted Pei Zheyan on the shoulder with a sympathetic look, continuing:
"Xia Bingyu is just toying with your feelings. If I were you, I would definitely join Shanghai University right now, and then win the championship tomorrow so that she can taste the bitterness of defeat."
Pei Zheyan completely ignored Ma Xiangyang's words, staring intently at the screen on his phone.
Underwear is such a private item; how could someone with a casual relationship easily give it away?
Therefore, the relationship between Xia Bingyu and Li Yi must be extraordinary.
They might even have slept in the same bed last night.
After imagining the scene, Pei Zheyan couldn't hold back any longer.
"No! I need to go and ask Bingyu myself what's going on."
As he spoke, Pei Zheyan turned around and went back to the hotel.
Ma Xiangyang watched his departing figure, a smug smile playing on his lips.
......
Inside the hotel.
Xia Bingyu, Tian Hao, Zhang Weiqi, and the entire team are discussing their strategy for tomorrow's match against Shanghai University.
The next moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Everyone was taken aback when they saw Pei Zheyan suddenly barge in, and immediately stopped their discussion.
"Dr. Pei, we're discussing tomorrow's tactics. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Bingyu, I only want to ask you one question now: are you willing to marry me?"
Xia Bingyu looked at Pei Zheyan, who was suddenly rambling incoherently, and felt a little confused. "Dr. Pei, is there some misunderstanding? I only want to be a champion coach in my life and I don't care about anything else."
You bought underwear for someone else, what's there to misunderstand?
Seeing that Xia Bingyu had rejected him in public, Pei Zheyan stopped hiding and took out his phone, placing it in front of everyone.
"Xia Bingyu, you keep saying you don't consider anything else, so why are you hooking up with that kid surnamed Li?"
What? The coach is dating Li Yi?
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room immediately widened their eyes.
Xia Bingyu was also taken aback.
However, when she saw the phone in Pei Zheyan's hand and the image displayed on the screen, her expression immediately changed. "Pei Zheyan, you've been secretly following me?"
Pei Zheyan didn't answer, but instead questioned again, "Xia Bingyu, just tell me, did you buy underwear for that guy surnamed Li?"
Although she didn't know when the other person had secretly taken her photos, Xia Bingyu did not deny it.
"That's right, I was in such a rush yesterday that Xiao Li forgot to bring a change of underwear, so I bought him a few pairs. But that's all. It's not what you think between us."
They even bought underwear, what else could it be?
Pei Zheyan wouldn't listen to any explanation. "Xia Bingyu, I'm giving you one last chance. If you agree to marry me now, I'll forgive and forget what happened before, and I'll continue to stay at Jiangda as the team doctor."
Otherwise, I'll join Shanghai University right now.
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately taken aback.
"Old Pei, what nonsense are you talking about? Shanghai University is our opponent, and the finals are tomorrow!" Tian Hao quickly said.
Pei Zheyan completely ignored her, staring intently at Xia Bingyu. "Didn't you want to win the championship? If I join Shanghai University now, you'll have no chance at all!"
Xia Bingyu never expected that Pei Zheyan would say such a thing.
Although she really wanted to win the championship, the championship she wanted was one she earned through her own hard work, and she would not be blackmailed by anyone.
"Pei Zheyan, whether you believe it or not, there is nothing wrong between me and Xiao Li. I only have professional feelings for you and I would never consider anything else."
"Good! Good! Good!"
Seeing Xia Bingyu's resolute attitude and her rejection of him once again, Pei Zheyan finally gave up hope.
He gave Xia Bingyu one last look, his gaze icy. "Then let's meet on the field tomorrow!"
