Li Du explained the gist of the situation to Sophie. Sophie's emotions quickly dissipated. She whispered, "Did I overdo it? I shouldn't have been so suspicious of you and Rose. I know there's nothing between you two. "
"Yes, you've gone too far. You've hurt me," Li Du said seriously.
Sophie was a little upset and said, "Then I apologize, okay?"
Li Du shook his head. "No, how can you let go of something you've done wrong?"
"Then what should we do?" Sophie asked, even more upset.
Li Du chuckled and said, "You have to be punished for your mistake. Given our relationship, we'll talk about the punishment tonight when we get back to the bedroom."
Sophie immediately guessed what he was thinking. She couldn't help but slap him and said, "Don't even think about it. That definitely can't happen. You promised me!"
Li Du sighed. "Then when are we getting married? We've been together for a long time. "
Sophie thought about it and whispered, "If it's after the engagement, that's fine too."
Li Du was overjoyed. "Engagement? Very well, I'll call my parents now and let them prepare. I'll bring you and your parents to China, or let them come to America. We'll get engaged! "
When the two of them were together, they would sometimes talk about marriage. This was a big deal that could not be resolved in a short time.
However, an engagement was different. In America, it was very simple. All they had to do was find a random time, have a meal, talk, and give a ring. That was the engagement.
There was no ceremony, no preparation, no need for a deposit.
Li Du was inclined to get engaged in America. It was too troublesome in his hometown. There were too many things to do and the procedures were cumbersome. It was better to let his parents come to America.
Seeing his overjoyed look, Sophie smiled slyly and said, "Okay, but you need an engagement ring for an engagement. Shouldn't you prepare it? If you just buy a ring, it'll be very unromantic. "
Li Du laughed and said, "That's easy. I'll find you a diamond myself and make a unique engagement ring!"
Sophie crossed herself, then clasped her fingers together and closed her eyes to make a wish.
Li Du wondered, "What are you doing? Wishing to God? "
"Yes."
"What wish?"
"It has something to do with you finding the diamond. Guess, do I wish for you to find it easily or not?"
Li Du smiled and said, "It must be easy for me to find it, right?"
Sophie smiled. "Guess again."
Li Du: "…"
The two of them chatted and laughed as they started to prepare dinner. Sophie helped out and Li Du cooked. Very soon, the Chinese dishes were ready to be served.
Apart from a few stewed dishes, the rest was almost done. He wiped his hands and walked to the courtyard for some fresh air.
When he arrived at the courtyard, he saw that Luo Qun wasn't as lifeless as before. She was practicing martial arts in high spirits.
Ali stood next to her, watching her punch with great interest with its big eyes.
Luo Qun talked to it while punching, "Look, this is called a straight punch, this is called a swing punch, this is called a hook punch, this is called a jab punch, and this is called a shake punch. See? I'll teach you one by one. "
Ali learned to stretch its short arms forward. Because of its body structure, it could only throw straight punches and swing punches. It couldn't practice other postures, which made it a little depressed.
Luo Qun noticed this and said, "It doesn't matter, just learn the straight punch well. The famous boxing coach Joseph Brown once said, 'Mastering the technique of the straight punch is equivalent to mastering 80% of the technique of boxing.' In boxing, almost all boxing champions rely on the straight punch to win gold belts."
Ali waved its little arms forward. There were muscles hanging on them. They were not yet in shape, but the lines were good. When they grew up, they would definitely have a strong upper body.
Luo Qun gave it some pointers. "Look, don't just jump. Learn to slide, use your tail as support, and cross your legs to the left and right. Yes, that's it …"
"Use the slide to confuse the opponent and punch at the same time. The straight punch has to be fast, accurate, and ruthless. Aim and hit it directly! Well, you can take the opportunity to kick it. That's no problem. Anyway, you won't be in the ring … "
Li Du laughed and said, "Why are you in such a mood?"
Luo Qun turned around and said in surprise, "I found out by accident that your kangaroo is extraordinary. It is very talented in boxing, even more so than humans."
Kangaroos were indeed born to box. In Australia and America, kangaroos had historically been trained to be boxers' sparring partners.
However, this was more for show. Kangaroos had boxing skills, but they had no intelligence. They could only stare at people and could not meet the difficult requirements of sparring partners.
Ali had a rare intelligence among its kind. It couldn't fully understand Luo Qun's words, but it could remember the movements that Luo Qun taught.
In this way, when Luo Qun practiced by herself, it would subconsciously learn.
Ah Meow also learned, but after learning a few moves, it lost interest. It found that it had no lethality if it didn't stretch out its claws. If it stretched out its claws, how could it punch? Wouldn't it be better to use its claws as a knife to cut people?
The few hounds were far away. These bullies have learned martial arts? Are they giving us a way out? All right, all right, I can't afford to offend them!
Soon, Ali's learning process attracted many people.
Brother Wolf said thoughtfully, "I've also practiced boxing. Ali is a good student. From tomorrow on, I'll take it to professional training."
After a boxing practice, Ali's punches became decent. Kangaroos couldn't slide. They could only jump forward. That was why Australians put them on the national flag and emblem. They believed that kangaroos had the courage to move forward and never retreat. This spirit encouraged them.
However, they could actually learn to move left and right, but it was difficult. They had to know how to use their tails to support their bodies and know how to keep their balance.
Ali quickly learned to match its punches, which increased its fighting power.
After resting for a while, Ali gained confidence and jumped up with its chest straightened a lot.
A dog stood in front of it. Ali's eyes widened, and it jumped up to give it two punches. With two muffled thuds, the hound howled in pain and dodged.
This gave Ali confidence, and it looked at its friends less friendly.
Sophie and Big Quinn's wife, Rosalind, put the dishes on the table. Smelling the fragrance of vegetables and fruits, Ali quickly jumped over. Fighting was the most boring thing. Food was the most important thing.
Luo Qun didn't like small animals, but Ali was an exception. She had the idea of adopting Ali and asked Li Du if he could give Ali to her.
She even used the bitterness card. "I'm usually alone. Every time I come home, I'm faced with cold furniture and appliances. There's not a single living thing."
Li Du simply said, "You can ask Ali. I respect its opinion."
Luo Qun looked at Ali and said, "Come home with me. I'll give you a lot of delicious food. I'll teach you boxing."
Ali's head was down, its two little paws holding the bowl, and it ate without blinking.
