America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 102 Here we go again, Karate Hall
"Teacher, do you need help?"

On the way to the teacher's office, Li Xiaoen took the initiative to ask.

"That's all I have. Do you think I need it?"

Avery glanced helplessly at Li Xiaoen, his eyes narrowed as he glared at him, "Don't think you can get away with it by being too friendly."

Speaking of which, the young man in front of her was really different from all the other Chinese students she had met. Other students were always cautious in their words and actions, fearing to attract too much attention, let alone being called out by her in public, but Li Xiaoen seemed to be as comfortable and calm as a fish in water, even more so than the local students, as if he was back home.

Perhaps, handsome appearance is secondary, it is this kind of personality that makes him popular.

"Mr. Avery, I'm serious."

Li Xiaoen had no choice but to explain.

"Okay then. Thanks, but no thanks."

Avery shook his head in denial and opened the door to his office.

The teachers' offices at Princeton are independent, but when Li Xiaoen walked in, he saw a figure in front of the desk. The profile seen from behind showed delicate and fair skin and soft lines, and it was obviously a young student.

Could it be that the words that cannot be heard by others are related to this beautiful girl?
Li Xiaoen just had some doubts in his heart when the face with delicate features turned around and spoke.

"Mom, I brought you lunch."

"Well, thank you Amelia."

Avery nodded, then noticed his daughter's expression startled as she looked at Li Xiaoen. She slowly frowned in worry and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Do you know Xiaoen?"

"So we know each other."

Amelia nodded, her slightly gray eyes beneath her frameless glasses looking meaningfully at Li Xiaoen. "After the orientation weekend, Xiaoen has become quite famous in Princeton."

Did something happen to provoke this woman?

Feeling the meaning in the other person's eyes, Li Xiaoen pondered in his heart, but in his memory it was clearly the first time he saw this woman.

"is it?"

Avery suddenly remembered the commotion in the classroom just now and nodded seriously. He quickly stopped Amelia who was about to leave and said, "Amelia, please help me organize these materials first."

"..."

Watching Amelia turn back and Avery sitting in the office chair looking at him, Li Xiaoen couldn't help but be stunned.

"Teacher Avery, isn't it a bad idea for others to hear?"

Li Xiaoen asked hurriedly, which made Amelia, who was carefully organizing the documents with her head down, look up.

"It's okay, she's my daughter, it's okay if she knows."

Avery shook his head and motioned for Li Xiaoen to sit down in the chair in front of the desk. His expression became serious and dignified. "Xiaoen, tell the teacher, are you playing with the feelings of those two beautiful female classmates?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Xiaoen's eyes suddenly widened.

……

Is this the first time I’ve met an American feminist?
On the way out of the teacher's office, feeling the contemptuous gaze of Amelia who was leaving with him, Li Xiaoen rubbed his forehead with a headache.

Normally, as long as it does not involve the academic aspects of the school, American teachers will not interfere with the emotional state of students. However, now he was warned by Avery.

The key point is that as a Princeton teacher and senior intellectual, Avery is indeed a true feminist advocate. After observing for a long time and fearing that the two girls would be hurt, she took the initiative to find him, and spoke to him with kind words of advice and warning.

It took him a lot of nice words to finally get Avery to let go of his prejudice, but there was nothing he could do about the girl next to him named Amelia, whose eyes were full of contempt.

Could it be that Teacher Avery kept her daughter as an auditor because she was afraid that she would accidentally fall in love with him?
This thought flashed through Li Xiaoen's mind, and then he suddenly noticed that the other party had been walking beside him, following him vaguely.

"Excuse me……"

Li Xiaoen couldn't help but ask, pointing to Alaric's office at the end of the corridor, "Are you going this direction too?"

"Professor Alaric's freshman, claiming to be gifted in math and a quick learner, even disdained the professor's painstakingly designed, easier problems for freshmen. He missed two of the professor's organized training sessions and even went on a wild two-day weekend the week before the competition..."

Amelia placed one hand on her shoulder bag, staring straight ahead and muttering, "Sean, the tricks you use on other girls don't work on me. Please don't bother me."

Li Xiaoen: "..."

Faced with the "crimes" listed by the girl, Li Xiaoen was speechless. The other party's identity was self-evident at this time.

"I really had something to do. I didn't mean to miss Professor Alaric's training."

"Why are you saying this to me?"

Amelia replied calmly, "Fortunately, there aren't many students under the age of twenty in the professor's team, so we don't have to participate in team competitions. If it's just an individual competition, then whatever happens to you has nothing to do with me."

So what's the matter with your dissatisfaction?

Li Xiaoen complained in his heart, shrugged and ignored Amelia's words.

Perhaps it was because they were children of teachers, just like the ones he had met in middle and high school, their personalities tended to be upright and serious, and they were strongly dissatisfied with other students' behavior that let their teachers down.

Is this considered nerdy in American culture?
Li Xiaoen felt a little confused. People who simply studied and bookish were not popular in America. This was the first time he saw a girl who went against the mainstream aesthetic of America.

"You are here."

Pushing the door open, Alaric, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his hand, his gaze pausing on Li Xiaoen, and jokingly said, "Xiaoen, I didn't expect that you are not only talented in math, but also good at magic and singing."

Li Xiaoen forced a smile and nodded, "I practiced it briefly in middle school."

"You managed to get into Princeton while also mastering magic and singing. Many magicians online are still baffled by your performances."

Alaric looked at Li Xiaoen meaningfully, and seeing the helplessness on the young man's face, he stopped joking and handed the prepared materials to Li Xiaoen, Amelia, and a Mexican boy who was in the office in advance.

"Okay, I have classes this afternoon, so I'll cut to the chase. These are some key points that other professors and I have compiled for the PUMaC Mathematics Competition. The competition is coming up soon, so you should go back and take a good look at them."

"Don't be too nervous during this period, just relax."

As he spoke, Alaric nodded to the other two, and looked at Li Xiaoen and couldn't help but smile, "Oh, Xiaoen, I won't worry about you anymore."

Li Xiaoen: "..."

As soon as he came out of the office, Li Xiaoen received a call.

"Hello, is this Sean? This is the Princeton Financial Aid Office..."

After the phone call ended, Li Xiaoen couldn't help but let out a long sigh, feeling extremely helpless.

As expected, as a true American, he was very proficient in using the familiar economic sanctions - the scholarship application procedure had brought new troubles, and there was no doubt that it was arranged by Sufeil.

But it was normal to think about it. Li Xiaoen didn't have that much resentment in her heart. After all, she treated her like this. If it were him, he would probably be as angry as she was.

Fortunately, not to mention the car and house he was about to take over, the money he got from the last double card, and the daily income of more than $40,000, his savings had reached $160,000. Even if there were problems with the scholarship application now, he would not be in a tight spot.

At this moment, another message came on the phone.

└Now, Karate Hall┐

Li Xiaoen: “???”

After pondering for a moment, Li Xiaoen typed a reply.

└Is there anything we can’t talk about online? ┐

After waiting for a while, Sufeier still didn't reply. Li Xiaoen put the phone in his pocket and walked towards the school cafeteria. There were no classes this afternoon, so as usual, Li Xiaoen returned to the dormitory after lunch for a short rest.

There is no habit of taking a lunch break in America. Having grown up in China, he had tried it before, but he always felt sluggish in the afternoon, so he just followed his own habit.

It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when Li Xiaoen woke up slowly, packed up and went to the school library.

He couldn't help but take out his cell phone to check, but Su Feil still didn't reply. He let out a sigh of helplessness, turned around and walked towards the school gate.

"Sufeil isn't here?"

Inside the karate gym, Li Xiaoen looked at Sufei's karate coach Amy in surprise, "Hasn't she been here today?"

Hearing this, Amy took out the phone from her pocket and nervously pressed a few buttons. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head: "Ms. Suffield usually doesn't come on Mondays. She didn't send me any messages or call me today."

"OK, thanks."

Li Xiaoen nodded helplessly, turned around and walked towards the door.

"Do you need me to contact Miss Suffield for you?"

Amy asked hurriedly. She was not sure about the relationship between Su Feier and Li Xiaoen, but with the experience from last time, she chose the safest way.

"No, I'll tell her."

Li Xiaoen shook his head, walked without stopping, and typed a reply on his phone.

I've arrived at the karate gym. What's next? Miss Suffield.

└Where did you hide the treasure? ┐

After leisurely typing and sending it, just as Li Xiaoen was about to walk out of the gym, he saw Amy running up to him and blocking his way.

"Mr. Sean, Miss Sufei asked me to ask you to wait for her here for a while." Amy steadied herself and said quickly.

Li Xiaoen was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't help but glance at the message interface on his phone where Su Feier hadn't replied for a long time. His expression became strange, "Are you sure she asked you to treat me?"

Amy forced a smile and nodded.

"You should know that I can call the police if you forcibly restrict someone's personal freedom, Coach Amy."

"Yes, I know that."

Amy felt bitter in her heart, but nodded helplessly. "I believe Miss Sufei will be here soon. Please stay here and wait for a while. We will try our best to meet your requests. Please!"

Looking at Amy's embarrassed expression, Li Xiaoen shook his head and agreed, probably thinking that it was another mandatory order from Sufeil to deduct the bonus.

Turning back and walking into the gym again, looking at the empty space with only a few students training, Li Xiaoen turned his head to look at Amy and said, "Can you get me a bottle of water? Thank you."

"Okay, okay, please wait."

Amy breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly.

Arriving at the depths of the gym, where he had his first duel with Sufeil, Li Xiaoen looked around and saw that the surroundings were relatively quiet. He simply sat down on a chair on the side and took out some mathematical materials.

This is the summary of the knowledge points given by Professor Alaric this morning. You don’t need to hold a pen to do anything. Just go over it in your head and look at the question types.

Time passed quickly. When Li Xiaoen came to his senses, it was already half past five. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Amy who was forcing a difficult smile.

"Miss Sophiel should be here soon, right?" Amy was feeling guilty and out of breath at this moment.

Li Xiaoen returned his gaze to the information: "I'll leave when your gym is closed."

"Okay, okay."

Amy nodded quickly, she was also extremely depressed at this moment.

It was obvious that this incident was a relationship dispute between two young lovers, but they had to drag her, an outsider, into it. She was really tired of the high bonus of $10,000 a month.

Just as the gym was about to close and the lights in the distant venue began to be cleared and turned off, a tall figure finally walked into the venue.

"So, is this your counterattack?" Li Xiaoen asked, looking up from the information.

As he guessed, Sufeil did not come until the gym was in retreat, just like the first time.

"I have to go to class. I don't have the heart to play games with you."

Sufeil said in a cold voice, as if responding to the question about the treasure in Li Xiaoen's message, and walked into the locker room.

"Hey, I didn't agree to fight you."

Seeing this, Li Xiaoen quickly shouted, "Can we talk?"

"A promise." Sufei's faint voice came from the locker room.

"..."

Glancing at the young man who didn't refute, Amy's mind worked extremely quickly. She quickly took out the protective equipment she had deliberately hidden away the first time and handed it over.

"Mr. Sean, put it on."

Li Xiaoen took a glance and his expression turned strange.

"With your experience, Coach Amy, do you also think that I, a man, can't beat Sufeil?"

It would have been understandable at the beginning of the school year, but now with his 11 points of physical strength, coupled with his long-term fitness training and quick reaction, he feels that he is no longer the same as before.

"Miss Suffield has never practiced against a man, but judging by her condition today, I'm afraid she won't be able to stop."

Amy looked at Li Xiaoen with a subtle expression, and couldn't help muttering in her heart, could it be that Miss Sufei found out that he had cheated on her, that's why she was so angry.

"What are you talking about?"

Sufei's voice came from behind him. Li Xiaoen turned around and saw that Sufei had changed into a white Taoist robe, and the black belt on his slender waist was particularly obvious.

He glanced up and down at Li Xiaoen, especially at the protective gear in Amy's hand that he was familiar with before. Su Feier sneered and said, "I'll give you a chance. Put on the protective gear."

"Forget about the protective equipment. It's not time to start school anymore."

Li Xiaoen shook his head. Just as he finished speaking, he saw Sufeil rushing towards him and kicking him in the chest.

not good.

Li Xiaoen's heart trembled. He could no longer dodge, so he quickly raised his hands to cover his chest. A huge force fell on his forearms and knocked him to the ground.

Unable to hold back a long cry, Li Xiaoen was about to speak when he saw Sufeil stepping on him again. He quickly rolled to the side and then stood up.

"Are you attacking me before I even start the fight?"

Li Xiaoen quickly shouted, "Are you afraid that you can't beat me?"

"Then start now!"

It was fine at first, but now that he had really let out some of his anger, Sufeil became angrier and angrier, and his heart became more and more blocked. He responded coldly, raised his foot and rushed towards Li Xiaoen again. This time, he raised his leg high and swept towards Li Xiaoen's head.

If it was the first time, Sean would not be able to react. Now that the other party is prepared, he does this. I don’t know whether to say that Miss Sufei has martial ethics or that she feels sorry for her boyfriend.

Watching the two fighting, Amy, who was standing outside the field, couldn't help but make an evaluation in her heart. Suddenly, she thought of her first experience, glanced at the other empty places in the gym, and quickly followed and hid quietly.
