NOVPUBLuxurious cruise ship, on the deck.
Three people were enjoying the sea breeze, staring at the ocean, and had finally gotten a bit of relief. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Wu Bin furrowed his brow and said, "We can’t go on like this, if we really let Xiao Hu room with us, we won’t be able to sleep tonight."
"I have to find the coach and ask him to change my room."
Having regained his composure, Song Bing tried to persuade him from the side, "There’s no need for that, Old Wu. Even though his feet stink, it’s not bad enough to have to change rooms."
"After all, we’re all from the same school, and besides, you had a bit of a conflict with him during the competition before. If you make a fuss now, it’s going to be hard for everyone to get along in the future."
Song Bing was a nice guy, actually considering things for Wu Bin’s sake.
One must know that the sports department of the Agricultural University had nearly a hundred athletes.
If Wu Bin really had a conflict with Xiao Hu, it could escalate into Wu Bin discriminating against athletes, leading to issues with nearly a hundred of them.
Wu Bin looked at Song Bing with a look of astonishment.
"Are you kidding me? His feet stink so badly, do you think you can stand it when you go back later?"
Song Bing took out a pair of earplugs and stuffed them into his nose in front of Wu Bin.
"See, this way you can’t smell any stench, can you?"
"When you encounter difficulties, you should learn to solve them yourself, and not trouble the teachers."
"Old Wu, do you want a pair? I have a new set I can give to you."
Wu Bin gave Song Bing a thumbs up, thinking he was absolutely brilliant.
The sense of smell mainly depends on the nose, and if the nostrils are blocked, you indeed can’t smell any stench.
But when Wu Bin thought that the foot odor wouldn’t enter the body through the nasal passages but instead through the mouth, why did he feel even more disgusted?
It was at this time that Yang Kang and a few other students from the Agricultural University came over as well.
"Wu Bin, why is it just the three of you, where’s Xiao Hu?" Yang Kang asked.
Wu Bin bluntly replied, "Xiao Hu’s feet stink so much, he drove us out. I guess he’s probably washing his feet in the room now."
Upon hearing Wu Bin say this, several athletes from the Agricultural University immediately showed embarrassed expressions.
Being part of the same sports team, they all regularly trained together, so they were very familiar with just how much Xiao Hu’s feet could stink.
Wu Bin didn’t pay attention to the looks from others but straightforwardly said to Yang Kang, "Coach, it’s not that I don’t want to unify with my classmates, but Xiao Hu’s feet really stink so much, I can’t stand it."
"I request to switch to a room with fresh air, preferably filled with people who like cleanliness."
The moment Wu Bin said this, several athletes from the Agricultural University instantly felt attacked.
"What do you mean by saying that, Wu Bin? Are you looking down on us?"
"Do you think we want to stink? We have to do all sorts of physical and professional training every day. Our clothes get wet then dry, dry then wet, all for the sake of bringing glory to the Agricultural University!"
"If you really have the guts, let’s have a one-on-one showdown!"
Originally, Wu Bin wasn’t planning to pay any mind to what the first few people said, as he was just stating a fact and didn’t mean to discriminate against anyone.
But when Wu Bin heard their last statement, he couldn’t help but laugh.
"A one-on-one showdown? With you guys?"
"Is it a sprint or shot put? Or any other event is fine; feel free to choose."
Hearing Wu Bin’s response, everyone then remembered that Wu Bin had broken two world records.
A one-on-one with him?
Were they even qualified?
Just as the athletes’ morale was being subdued by Wu Bin, Xiao Hu, having changed his clothes, walked over with a stern face from a distance.
Seeing him, the athletes immediately went up to greet him.
"Brother Xiao, you’ve finally arrived!"
"Xiao Ge, this guy has been rude to you; teach him a lesson!"
Seeing that neither party would give in, Yang Kang hurriedly stepped forward to mediate.
"Okay, we’re currently representing our agricultural college outside, and everyone on this cruise is from South Korea. If you’re arguing here, you’re losing face for our college."
"How about everyone takes a step back, okay?"
Yang Kang looked at Xiao Hu.
"Xiao Hu, have you washed your feet?"
Xiao Hu nodded, indicating he had indeed washed his feet.
As soon as Yang Kang got close to Xiao Hu, he was immediately enveloped by a stench and almost vomited.
Fortunately, after so many years as a counselor, Yang Kang still had some self-control.
He first maintained a bit of distance from Xiao Hu without showing any discomfort and then said, "Well, to avoid disturbing Wu Bin while he rests, could you wear your socks and cover up with the blanket when you sleep at night?"
Xiao Hu shrugged his shoulders.
"Sure, Counselor, no problem."
Wearing socks to bed was nothing to Xiao Hu.
Yang Kang then looked at Wu Bin.
"Wu Bin, we are all from the agricultural college, and I’ve already spoken to Xiao Hu about being more careful."
"As the face of our college, don’t be so petty. Be more open-minded, show some tolerance. What do you say?"
"After all, smelly feet isn’t a big deal; it’s not like it can kill someone, right?"
No sooner had Yang Kang finished speaking when Han Jiaoyan, standing by the side, suddenly exclaimed.
"Wu Bin, what’s happened to your foot?"
Following the direction of Han Jiaoyan’s pointing finger, everyone’s gaze focused on Wu Bin’s foot.
They saw that all five toes on Wu Bin’s right foot were swollen, looking as if they had been stung by bees, and it was quite frightening.
Thinking of coming out to enjoy the sea breeze, Wu Bin had simply worn sandals.
Now, seeing his foot like this, he was also astounded.
Suddenly, Song Bing thought of something and said uncertainly, "Could it be that he got infected by Xiao Hu’s athlete’s foot?"
Xiao Hu’s eyebrows raised, denying it immediately.
"He didn’t wear my socks, how could he catch athlete’s foot?"
Song Bing retorted, "How is it not possible? Didn’t Wu Bin step on your shoes when he got out of bed just now?"
"I suspect it’s then he got the infection!"
Upon hearing Song Bing’s words, everyone subconsciously kept their distance from Xiao Hu.
The audience in the live stream was also stunned upon seeing Wu Bin’s foot.
"Holy shit, is this real? How did his foot swell up like that in less than ten minutes?"
"It’s outrageous, just too outrageous. Could Xiao Hu’s shoes be poisonous?"
"Look, Wu Bin’s foot seems to have swollen even more than before. What kind of athlete’s foot is this? It’s way too severe!"
Just now, Xiao Hu’s feet were the stinkiest in that room.
Plus, with Wu Bin’s foot looking the way it did now, everyone naturally suspected Xiao Hu.
"Wu Bin, doesn’t it hurt?" Han Jiaoyan asked curiously.
Wu Bin was about to say it didn’t hurt when suddenly his expression changed drastically as he realized something.
"Holy shit, I can’t feel my foot anymore!"
