Chapter 62: Everyone's Misunderstanding of Wang Xiaoming, and the Dullness of Chinese Men

"Good morning, Zhanle!" Early in the morning, Wang Xiaoming ran into Pan Zhanle eating breakfast in the cafeteria.

However, Pan Zhanle didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

Wang Xiaoming leaned in to take a look and was instantly startled!

"Holy crap! What happened to you?!"

What came into view were Pan Zhanle's panda-like dark circles. Anyone who knew him would think he had stayed up all night and failed to get enough sleep.

Anyone who didn't would have thought he was a reincarnated giant panda!

"What's going on with your eyes? Do you guys know what happened?"

Wang Xiaoming looked at the other teammates nearby, but they just stared back at him with clueless expressions.

Seeing his Brother Ming return, Pan Zhanle seemed to regain a bit of spirit.

He looked at Wang Xiaoming and said listlessly, "Brother Ming, fairy tales are all lies, aren't they?"

"Huh?" Wang Xiaoming didn't understand what he was talking about.

Pan Zhanle, however, questioned him with a wronged look on his face, "Brother Ming, didn't you say you've never been in a relationship?"

"Yeah, I haven't!" Wang Xiaoming nodded.

"Then why do you know so much about those things at the Olympic Games?"

"What things?" Wang Xiaoming remained puzzled.

Only then did Pan Zhanle say, "This morning, I saw you coming back from the direction of the Romantic Country's track and field athletes' dormitory!"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaoming immediately slapped his forehead.

So this guy had laid all that groundwork just for this matter.

Wang Xiaoming set down his tray, sat down, and explained, "Don't overthink it. I went over to the Romantic Country's track and field athletes' side last night to learn from their experience!"

"Learn from their experience?"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind Wang Xiaoming!

Everyone was taken aback, wondering who it was. When they turned around, the eyes of many male athletes lit up.

It turned out to be Wu Yanni and Xia Shining, who had been generating a lot of buzz recently.

"Oh, why are you two here..."

However, the two beauties ignored the greetings from the people around them and walked straight toward Wang Xiaoming.

"Brother Ming, were you at the Romantic Country athletes' dormitory last night?" Wu Yanni asked directly.

Before Wang Xiaoming could speak, Xia Shining chimed in.

"Brother Ming, it turns out the reason you didn't come when we invited you over to our place is because you already had a date?"

Wang Xiaoming smiled. "Don't get me wrong. I really just went to exchange some pointers, and I stayed a bit late!"

Just at that moment, Natasha—the very object of Wang Xiaoming's learning session last night—walked over as well. However, upon seeing Wang Xiaoming, she merely gave him a resentful look before turning and leaving directly.

Seeing this, the small group here instantly erupted with an astonishing urge to gossip.

Yet Wang Xiaoming held his ground, maintaining that he had truly only gone to learn from them.

Wu Yanni looked at Natasha's figure not far away, and then compared it to her own.

Unreconciled, she asked Wang Xiaoming, "Brother Ming, was it you learning from her, or her learning from you?!"

"Oh~~~"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately provoked a wave of astonished gasps.

Everyone was watching the show, but Wang Xiaoming found himself unable to defend himself. He could only smile bitterly, shake his head, and say no more.

Seeing that Wang Xiaoming didn't want to say anything more, Wu Yanni and Xia Shining knew they shouldn't keep pressing.

After all, their relationship wasn't to that extent yet.

They had only met a few times, but thinking about what Wang Xiaoming said regarding his learning session with that Natasha last night made them feel extremely uncomfortable inside.

"Where on earth did we lose?!"

The exact same thought arose simultaneously in both of their minds.

If the two of them hadn't previously invited Wang Xiaoming to hang out with their track and field team, they wouldn't have felt such a huge sense of disparity right now.

It was precisely because Wang Xiaoming had agreed to that Romantic Country athlete while turning a deaf ear to their request.

For a moment, a wave of disappointment welled up in their hearts.

They didn't know why either; they hadn't met Wang Xiaoming many times, yet at this moment, their minds were entirely filled with his words.

Thinking of this, fueled by a sudden surge of courage, the two of them didn't know what got into them.

They marched straight toward the Romantic Country athlete, Natasha.

Natasha, who was in the middle of eating, was startled at first upon seeing them, but then she stood right up and gave both of them a big hug.

In an instant, the magnificent assets on Natasha's chest completely smothered their faces, leaving them unable to breathe for a moment.

The two of them suddenly snapped to their senses. So this Natasha was actually this well-endowed?

"Hey, Wu, Xia, I didn't expect it to be the two of you. You know what? I've watched your competitions, and I like you both so much!"

Foreigners had such carefree personalities; whenever they liked someone, they expressed it right to their faces.

This caught Wu Yanni and Xia Shining off guard, but then strange thoughts welled up in their hearts again.

"No wonder Brother Ming wanted to learn from her. With this kind of passion, even men wouldn't be able to hold their ground!"

"Hey, Natasha, nice to meet you. We like you a lot too!"

Wu Yanni gently broke free from Natasha's embrace and then shook hands with her.

"What's wrong? Is there something you wanted to see me about?" Natasha asked, looking at their hesitant expressions.

"Well, it's just, we, um..." Xia Shining stammered for a long time without managing to form a complete sentence.

Seeing Xia Shining like this, Wu Yanni grew anxious. With a wave of her hand, she directly asked Natasha what was on her mind.

"Natasha, yesterday we invited Wang Xiaoming to visit our track and field team, but he turned us down. However, we heard that he accepted your invitation, and even in the middle of the night..."

Wu Yanni recounted yesterday's events, completely unaware that at a table not far away from them, a group of Freedom Country track and field athletes were pricking up their ears to listen closely.

Upon hearing that Wang Xiaoming had a nocturnal tryst with a Romantic Country beauty, intriguing smiles crept onto all of their faces.

Before Wu Yanni, Natasha, and the others could finish discussing, this group hurriedly left the scene with heavy thoughts on their minds, rushing back to where their Freedom Country swimming team was staying.

Meanwhile, Wu Yanni, after a long preamble of psychological preparation, finally asked the question burning in her heart.

"Natasha, did Wang Xiaoming come to your place last night?"

Hearing Wu Yanni's question, Natasha first pursed her lips with a displeased expression, and then nodded. "That's right, Wang did come to see me last night!"

As soon as these words were uttered, it felt as though something had instantly collapsed inside Wu Yanni and Xia Shining's hearts.

Could the Wang Xiaoming they admired really be this kind of person?

"So, he..." Before Wu Yanni could finish her question, Natasha burst out in frustration.

"F**k! Wu, you Chinese men are so utterly boring..."
