"Messenger bird with middle parting.JPG"

"Iron Shell Kun, what are you doing~.JPG"

Looking at the emojis constantly swiping across the screen of her phone, Xia Menghui frowned and quickly typed a reply:

"Stop talking nonsense. Are you free this weekend? Come to the Little Phoenix Cup to cheer on the juniors."

The other party quickly replied:

"Wow, Teacher Xia actually invited me personally. I'm so touched~ But I have something to do this weekend, so I can't go."

Xia Menghui scratched her head, thinking about how to convince her, when the other party sent another message:

"But if the teacher can get me someone's autograph, I might consider it~"

Xia Menghui's eyes lit up and she quickly asked, "Who?"

"Flaming Chicken Spins in Place for 24 Hours.JPG"

"Hey, this is the Chinese champion Xia Nantian. You're his younger brother. It shouldn't be hard to get his autograph, right? Hehe."

The other party sent another cute expression.

Xia Menghui was stunned for a moment and asked:

"When did you start to like him again?"

"Eh? The teacher is jealous--"

The other party sent a .JPG of "Snorlax hugging his oversized self and trembling."

"No, teacher-student romance or something like that, da mee da mee yo~ (blushing) (shy)"

"..."

Xia Menghui had a calm expression. She took a deep breath and kept reminding herself in her heart that she was a teacher and could not curse at anyone.

"Okay, I promise you, I'll give you Xia Nantian's autograph when you come over this weekend."

"Okay, thank you, teacher. I want 50!"

"Take the young master?!"

Xia Menghui's eyes widened, her hands trembled, and she lost her grip on the phone and dropped it to the ground.

"Instructor Xia, what's wrong?"

Ye Feng, who had just finished a battle and was about to go to the medical room, happened to pass by here and couldn't help but cast a puzzled look.

Xia Menghui bent down to pick up the phone and waved at Ye Feng.

"It's okay, you guys go to the medical room first. After resting for a while, we can go take a lunch break and have a meal!"

"Okay, bye Instructor Xia!"

Ye Feng nodded, turned around and continued chatting with his opponent about the previous battle while walking towards the medical room.

After taking a distressed look at the phone screen that had several cracks, Xia Menghui continued typing in the chat box.

"What do you want so many autographs for? Are you going to sell them?"

"Hehe, it's true that many senior students in the department admire the champion. Teacher, you may not know how much respect and admiration the Chinese champion has for us students.

Teacher, please help me this time. I was able to become the president of our school's student union, but it was all because of the reputation I gained from selling various peripherals of Xia Nantian Champion at low prices!"

Looking at the "pitiful and begging" emoticon sent by the other party, Xia Menghui shook her head helplessly, thinking that this girl was still so quirky.

Before he could reply, the other party spoke again.

"By the way, does Mr. Champion have abdominal muscles? (drooling)"

Xia Menghui: "Do I have abdominal muscles?"

"Um, yes. I remember when I was taking swimming lessons, the teacher was wearing swimming trunks, and his eight-pack abs were exposed~"

Xia Menghui: "I have abdominal muscles even though I stay in school and teach people every day. Why doesn't my brother have abdominal muscles even though he travels around the world to fight?"

"Oh, that's how it is……"

"Why do you ask?"

Xia Menghui suddenly had a bad feeling.

The other party did not reply in a hurry, but still sent a "hehe" emoticon.

Xia Menghui's face twitched, and she immediately predicted what the other party was going to say, and spoke quickly.

"No, I won't allow you to take pictures of his abs."

The other party sent an emoticon that said "no laughing".

"Hey~ Teacher~ Please help Xiao Ai~"

Xia Menghui had no idea what the other person was looking at, so she refused seriously.

"No, including the signature, I've already promised to help you once."

"Not really! That was just a transaction. I came here to teach my juniors. You'll sign for me, right?"

"Don't try to get away with it."

"...Teacher, what if I say I have a list of the seeded players for this year's Little Phoenix Cup?"

Xia Menghui: “!!!”

"Where did you get the list? The official ones haven't been published yet!"

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network, Tieme! So proud.JPG"

The other party sent a string of files over. Xia Menghui clicked on it. There were about a dozen names in it, but there were only names and the schools they belonged to.

Xia Menghui also saw several familiar names among them, such as Ruan Yaoyao, Lin Yi, Ye Feng, Li Ye, Zhuge An and so on.

"Where did you get the list? Tell me the truth!"

"Yeah, don't worry..."

"Xia Nantian sleeps naked at night."

Xia Menghui typed expressionlessly.

"what?"

The other party didn't react for a while.

"Xia Nantian can't eat anything spicy, and he always drinks a glass of milk before going to bed. He once said that the condition for a soul mate is... his favorite female star is..."

Xia Menghui's shameless act of betraying her brother seemed to shock even the other party, who did not respond for a while.

"As long as you ask, I can tell you the information about Xia Nantian, unless it involves state secrets."

"Teacher, are you going to sell out your brother like this..."

After a while, the other party responded.

“The information is not actually mine, it was obtained by a senior from the research department.

She spent nearly a month working non-stop all night searching the Internet for the information and match records of all the players who had registered for the Little Phoenix King Cup, and then listed the players she thought had the ability to win the championship.

By the way, she also likes Xia Nantian. Her room is full of posters, her school bag is hung with various peripherals, and even when she goes to bed at night..."

"Stop, you don't have to tell me the last one."

"……Oh."

Xia Menghui looked at the information on her phone and remained silent.

Xia Menghui could tell the value of the list with just a glance. They were all contestants who had demonstrated strong abilities in public, or other aces who had been hidden by the school. There was no list of contestants who were randomly listed just to make up the numbers.

Just relying on the incomplete information on the Internet, a person can achieve such a level. The "senior sister" she mentioned can really be said to be a talented person.

Research department... Is there such a person in the research department of the Imperial University?

"Give me the contact information of the person you mentioned."

"Um...but..."

"I'll give you 100 of Xia Nantian's autographs, including photos of his abs."

"……make a deal."

……

(Xia Nantian, who had just gotten off the plane, suddenly felt a chill on his body. He rubbed his arms vigorously and looked around vigilantly.)

(Xia Nantian: "I feel a strange chill")
