After the practice, Lou Cheng glanced at Yan Zheke's side and was about to approach her.
Cai Zongming, who had been ravaged by the "gorilla" again, couldn't help but tease them. "You've been practicing flirting all morning. Isn't that enough? Think about the feelings of a single dog! Think about me, a foreign dog! "
"Haha …" Lou Cheng laughed and then found an excuse. "I have to confirm the arrangement for tomorrow!"
Then, without waiting for Cai Zongming's response, he strode over to Yan Zheke.
"So punctual!" Guo Qing teased, wiped the sweat on her forehead and went back to the female locker room.
Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke looked at each other and smiled. They both saw the shyness in each other's eyes, but the awkwardness was gone. Instead, there was an indescribable sweetness.
"She knows about us?" Lou Cheng casually found a topic.
Yan Zheke crossed her hands in front of her and looked to the side. Her cheeks were red again. She spat and said,
"What can happen between us?"
"You're the one who is too obvious. She always teases me with you, saying that Cheng is probably chasing you. What are you thinking?"
"Then what are you thinking?" Lou Cheng asked with a smile.
Yan Zheke suddenly glanced at him, which made his heart beat fast. "I'm not thinking about anything! At times like this, I usually make fun of her and Qiu Zhigao. "
Seeing that Lou Cheng didn't act too close to her and just flirted with her more than usual, she seemed to relax a lot. She stopped crossing her hands, one hanging down and the other playing with the hair that had escaped from her ponytail.
"Have they made any progress?" Lou Cheng asked casually.
Yan Zheke slightly frowned. "No progress. Anyway, Guo Qing has been worried about this recently. You and Qiu Zhigao are in the same dormitory. Do you know what he thinks?"
"He's a study maniac. He goes out early and comes back late every day. We can only meet in some classes and chat for half an hour before I go to bed. Anyway, if we're not joking, he won't mention Guo Qing." Lou Cheng sold Qiu Zhigao out without hesitation.
Now that he had won Yan Zheke's heart, he didn't care whether he could maintain a friendly relationship with Guo Qing.
After that, he changed the topic. "Are we going to have lunch or dinner tomorrow?"
He already had an answer to this question in his heart, but no matter what, he had to consider the girl's opinion first. If the girl was hesitant, then he would make a quick decision himself. This way, he would respect the girl and also show that he had his own opinions and confidence.
Yan Zheke looked up cutely and said, "Let's go at noon. If we are delayed by something at night, we might miss the last school bus."
"Okay." Lou Cheng agreed without hesitation.
In fact, he was thinking about dinner because the special training would end at noon, so it would be a rush to get there. After a whole morning of martial arts training, he was fine, but Yan Zheke must be tired. She should take a shower, take a nap, and have a rest first. But since the girl chose to eat at noon, he had to agree. In the sentence "date with Yan Zheke", the important thing was "Yan Zheke", not "date"!
He vaguely understood the reason for Yan Zheke's choice. It was mainly because he confessed too hastily and made her accept it too hastily. She hadn't adapted to the change of role and had an instinctive fear of not being able to take the school bus at night. He needed to make her lower her guard bit by bit with his good performance.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Today I'll take the opportunity to watch the videos and materials of Hongluo Martial Arts School. Tomorrow I have to hurry up and ask Coach Yan for guidance."
"Haha …" Yan Zheke couldn't help but laugh. Her eyebrows relaxed and she said, "Not bad. You know I'm Coach Yan ~ "
On this topic, the two chatted happily. There was a touch of sweetness in their eyes.
At this time, Guo Qing finished her shower and came out of the women's locker room. She looked at the two in surprise and blurted out, "You're still chatting?"
How long have you been chatting? She looked back and forth between Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke with suspicion.
Yan Zheke pretended to be normal and said, "Let's talk about Hongluo Martial Arts School later. I'm going to take a shower first."
After that, she didn't dare to look at Lou Cheng or Guo Qing. She hurried into the women's locker room and her cheeks seemed to be flushed again.
"Haha, I'm going to take a shower too." Lou Cheng avoided Guo Qing's eyes and laughed dryly. He walked to the men's locker room.
Guo Qing couldn't help but twitch her mouth and whisper,
"Something's wrong!"
…
At noon the next day, Lou Cheng rushed into the men's locker room as soon as the training ended. His speed was so fast that no one could catch up with him.
He didn't talk to Yan Zheke today because they had agreed to meet at the school bus station at 12: 50.
After carefully washing his body, he didn't wait for Cai Zongming and rushed back to the dormitory. He opened the wardrobe and according to the guidance of Casanova last night, he chose the short leather jacket that made him look more spirited and changed into a pair of beige slacks. He wanted to look clean and fresh.
After changing clothes, he suppressed his excitement and went to the washstand. He seriously shaved his beard and styled his hair. He couldn't wait to do every detail to the best of his ability.
After busying himself, he looked at his phone and found that it was only 12: 30. There were still 20 minutes before the meeting. It would take him at most five or six minutes to walk from the dormitory to the school bus station.
"Let's go and wait …" Lou Cheng thought. He was both excited and nervous at the same time.
This was the first date in his life!
When he passed by the supermarket on the pedestrian street, he suddenly had an idea. He turned around and walked straight in.
From the time she got on the school bus to the time the spicy crab was ready, it would take at least 50 minutes. That was to say, Yan Zheke wouldn't be able to eat anything until after 1: 40 p.m. She had been training all morning and needed to replenish her energy. By that time, she would be very hungry!
I should buy some snacks for her to eat on the way!
While choosing, Lou Cheng recalled Yan Zheke's words and tried to find what she liked.
"Well, she doesn't like sweet biscuits. She prefers soda-flavored biscuits … I can't buy too much. It will affect the following arrangements …" A few minutes later, Lou Cheng took a small bag of biscuits to the cashier. He thought for a while and added a small bottle of mineral water. He didn't ask for a bag and put them in his left and right pockets.
Hehe, I have to give her a surprise!
When he arrived at the bus stop, he put his hands in the pockets of his leather jacket to hide their bulging. Not long after, he saw a beautiful figure walking towards him gracefully.
Yan Zheke was wearing a pink sweater inside and a long white down jacket outside. Her hat was trimmed with the same color fur, which made her look delicate and pink. She was wearing black leggings, which made her legs look long and straight. She was wearing a pair of snow boots, which made her look cute and witty.
Lou Cheng was a little bit fascinated by her. He took a deep breath and told himself to be generous and not timid. Then he pulled out his hands and walked up to her. He smiled and said, "You seem to arrive early every time."
When he got closer, he found that Yan Zheke was carrying a cute shoulder bag with thin straps. She looked like a student.
Yan Zheke wasn't as open as usual. She lowered her head and smiled. "I hate it when people are late. I put myself in your shoes and arrived early."
"She hates it when people are late …" Lou Cheng remembered this. He turned around and pointed at the school bus.
"Just in time. This bus is leaving soon. I've already bought the tickets."
"Okay." Yan Zheke nodded slightly. She seemed a little shy. She quietly followed Lou Cheng. Half a step behind, they boarded the school bus and found seats together.
After letting her sit by the window, Lou Cheng cheered himself up to ease the girl's uneasiness. He deliberately said, "It's already so late. Are you hungry?"
Yan Zheke was stunned. She slowly nodded and said, "A little."
"It takes 20 or 30 minutes to get to the old campus. We have to take a taxi and wait for the food to be served. I'm afraid we can't eat in 50 minutes." Lou Cheng deliberately analyzed. Suddenly he took out a small bag of biscuits from his pocket. "I, I brought you some soda biscuits. You can eat them first so that your stomach won't hurt."
Yan Zheke raised her right hand and covered her mouth. She looked at Lou Cheng in surprise. When she saw the bag of biscuits clearly, her eyes were filled with joy.
"Then I'll eat a few pieces first." She said in a low voice, the corner of her mouth curling up unconsciously.
Lou Cheng hurriedly helped her open the packaging and handed it to her. Yan Zheke reached out and took a piece out with her slender fingers.
She was about to put it into her mouth when she suddenly stopped and whispered, "I didn't bring water. Eating only biscuits will make me uncomfortable."
Lou Cheng smiled and "magically" took out a small bottle of mineral water. He unscrewed the cap and looked straight into her eyes.
"I've already prepared it for you."
Yan Zheke's pink lips slightly opened. A layer of hazy mist quickly passed through her beautiful eyes. She turned her head and looked out of the window. Biting her lips, she smiled and said, "I was wondering what you put in your pocket. So it's these …"
Watching her eat the biscuits and drink the water delicately, Lou Cheng struck while the iron was hot. He took out his phone and played a video he had downloaded in advance. "This is the competition highlights of Hongluo Martial Arts School's principal, Jiang Guosheng. Coach Yan, what do you think?"
The principal of Hongluo Martial Arts School was a Professional Sixth Pin Dan stage master named Wang Hui. He was already old. The main force this time was his disciples and disciples. The leader was Jiang Guosheng, a Professional Ninth Pin, his personal disciple, ranked fifth, and 34 years old.
Yan Zheke leaned her head over and looked at the video with her bright eyes. "I studied it seriously last night. According to the information on the Internet, the principal of the school, Wang Hui, once had a background in the 'Longhu Club'. Therefore, their boxing obviously has the shadow of the 'Unique Skill of the Fire Sect'. They are good at exploding and attacking. They also have the secret 'Burning Force'. Once hit, the force will explode and cause a burning sensation on the skin. It's somewhat similar to your supernatural ability of blaze, but it doesn't have the tremor force you described."
Lou Cheng also leaned a little closer to her. Looking at her soft black hair and smelling the refreshing fragrance, he was a little distracted and almost couldn't concentrate. He had to force himself to use the Condensation Stance and said seriously, "Their fighting style does have the flavor of 'Fire-like Invasion'. Exploding, exploding, exploding, trying to crush the enemy before they are exhausted."
"On this point, Jiang Guosheng is more cautious, while Fang Tong is more violent, like an uncontrollable flame. But Jiang Guosheng has mastered a killer move better. It seems that he has compressed the force of his whole body to a very small range before exploding. It has the flavor of Dan stage." Yan Zheke said in high spirits. Her previous nervousness and uneasiness had unknowingly dissipated by more than half.
Fang Tong was another Professional Ninth Pin master in Hongluo Martial Arts School. He was the disciple of the principal of the school, Wang Hui. He was a powerful fighter at the age of 23. The Hongluo Martial Arts School team with two Professional Ninth Pin masters could be considered average in the preliminaries.
They talked about this matter on the way. When they arrived at the old campus, Lou Cheng was pleasantly surprised to find that Yan Zheke seemed to have returned to normal, except that she would blush occasionally when he stared at her.
The two walked in the campus and rushed to the nearest north gate. The online hailing car was waiting there. The spring chill was still there and the wind was very chilly.
Lou Cheng unconsciously peeked at Yan Zheke's left hand. The girl's skin was white and tender, her fingers were long and slender, and her fingernails were pink and healthy.
If I hold her hand, will she shake me off?
Thump, thump, thump! As this idea suddenly emerged, Lou Cheng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Various thoughts flashed in his mind, back and forth.
Although she said that she needs to adapt to the state of being in a relationship, since we are already in a relationship, it should be okay to hold her hand, right?
Will this make her unhappy? Will she think that I don't respect her and hold her hand before she is ready?
…
Just when he was hesitating, Yan Zheke suddenly put her hands into the pockets of her down jacket and said with a smile, "It's still quite cold today."
"Yeah …" Lou Cheng was speechless.
Well, no need to struggle!
Yan Zheke looked at him and asked curiously, "Cheng, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing. I'm just afraid that you will be hungry, so I feel a little guilty …" Lou Cheng said his real thoughts, but not the thoughts just now.
Yan Zheke pursed her lips and smiled, "This is the time I chose. What does it have to do with you?"
While chatting, the two arrived at the north gate. They got on the online hailing car and came to the "Ding Shang Spicy Crab". The lunch market ended at 2: 30. Lou Cheng had already checked, so he was not worried that he could not make it in time.
"Six crabs, the kind that costs 499 yuan." Lou Cheng blurted out the words he had long prepared when he saw the waiter.
He did not plan to care about money on the first date!
When the waiter was about to record it, Yan Zheke pulled Lou Cheng, pursed her lips and said, "Let's go with the 199 yuan one. The taste of crabs is about the same. The bigger the crab, the heavier the shell. It's not worth it. The 199 yuan one is just right. If it's smaller, there won't be much meat in the crab legs."
She stared at Lou Cheng with her clear black and white eyes, indicating her opinion.
Seeing the girl so insistent, and thinking that her grandfather's family was in Jiangnan, which was a good place to eat crabs, Lou Cheng was not the kind of person who would puff himself up at his own cost. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go with the 199 yuan one."
"Let's go with four first. Didn't you say that we can eat them as hot pot later? Didn't you say that their hand-made noodles are very good? It's boring to just eat crabs. "Yan Zheke said seriously.
Lou Cheng thought about it and agreed. So he said with a smile, "Coach Yan, you are so comprehensive!"
"Of course." Yan Zheke raised her chin and smiled.
They found a quiet place and sat down. As usual, they chatted about various things. It seemed that they had endless topics to talk about until the waiter brought the spicy crab to them.
The aroma filled their nostrils. Lou Cheng made a gesture to let Yan Zheke taste it first.
Seeing the girl pick up a piece with a smile and nibble it gently, he suddenly felt a little nervous. He was worried that it would not be to her taste.
Yan Zheke sucked the meat out of the crab leg skillfully. She closed her eyes and said with a smile, "It tastes really good. The sweetness of the crab meat is not lost, and the spiciness is very appetizing."
Phew … Lou Cheng was relieved as if he had been praised. He said with a smile, "Then you eat more."
"Don't just watch. You are the main force who can eat five yuan of rice." Yan Zheke joked with a smile.
After finishing the spicy crab and rice cake, she was waiting for the hot pot to boil. She asked with great interest, "Cheng, what kind of fighting style are you going to use tomorrow?"
Lou Cheng had already thought about it. He said after some consideration,
"If Hongluo Martial Arts School paid attention to this, they would have searched for my name. That is to say, they should know my fighting style and my strengths, except for the Power of Blaze."
"Since it's a martial arts competition, I will definitely try my best. I don't want to leave my trump card for the future. So, as long as I fight, I will use the Power of Blaze to open the way and try to defeat the opponent quickly …"
"When the second opponent loses the element of surprise, I want to pretend to move with mercurial balance. Once I find an opportunity, I will immediately suppress them with 24 Blizzard Strikes. I won't give them any chance to break out …"
How could he not try his best in an official competition in front of the girl he loved for the first time?
Yan Zheke rested her cheek on her left hand and listened attentively. Her eyes seemed to be shining.
After discussing the fighting style for a while and eating the hot pot, they paid the bill with full hearts. Because of the discount, they spent more than 900 yuan. For Lou Cheng, who was "rich and generous" after participating in the Warrior Sage Challenge Tournament, it didn't cause any heartache. Instead, he felt that it was worth it. As long as the girl was satisfied!
After leaving the restaurant, Lou Cheng unconsciously coughed and pretended that nothing had happened.
"Let's go to the shopping mall over there. It's good for digestion."
"Okay." Yan Zheke didn't object.
The two of them walked side by side. The girl's scent, which was both clear and musk, entered Lou Cheng's nose, making him feel impulsive and expectant.
He took a quick glance at the girl and found that her hands were swaying beside her and not in her pockets. It seemed that she had just finished eating the hot pot and was still warm.
Thump, thump, thump. Lou Cheng heard his heart beating faster again.
"Should I hold her hand?"
"She is not completely ready yet. But she likes me a little. She also agreed to my confession. Holding hands should be allowed, right?"
Thump, thump, thump!
Lou Cheng wanted to hold her hand but didn't dare to. He was afraid that he would upset the girl and leave a bad impression on her.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. He thought of the method that Cai Zongming had taught him before!
"Should I try that?"
"Pretend to hold her hand but don't really hold her hand!"
Thump, thump, thump!
This idea completely defeated all other thoughts. Lou Cheng couldn't restrain himself anymore. While chatting with Yan Zheke, he looked straight ahead and slowly reached his right hand to the side.
Thump, thump, thump! Thump, thump, thump! Although it was just a fake hand holding, Lou Cheng's heart felt like it was going to jump out of his chest. He didn't know how the girl would react or feel.
Because of the unknown, he was nervous. Because of the importance, he was scared!
Thump, thump, thump! Thump, thump, thump!
Lou Cheng swallowed his saliva with difficulty. His right hand was stiff and trembling as he pulled Yan Zheke's delicate hand. When he touched the back of the girl's hand, he felt that her skin was delicate, smooth, and slightly cold.
In his Listening Skill, he sensed that Yan Zheke's left hand suddenly shrank, but then froze there. She didn't withdraw her hand, but maintained a slight contact.
"This!" There seemed to be a ray of light hanging down in Lou Cheng's mind, illuminating all the darkness. He didn't dare to look at Yan Zheke. He turned his palm over and held her slightly thin hand tightly. He was extremely excited, excited, and nervous.
"Listening Skill can be used in this way …"
The girl beside him was counting ants with her head down. Lou Cheng held her delicate hand and felt as if he was stepping on clouds. All he could think of was the place where their skin touched. He had completely forgotten what day it was. His palms were sweating because of excitement and nervousness. He just wanted to hold Yan Zheke's hand like this and walk forever. It would be best if they could never reach the end of the road.
He completely ignored the surrounding scenery and the shops they passed.
After a long time, Yan Zheke asked softly, "Where are we going?"
Lou Cheng suddenly woke up with a start. He looked around with a dumbfounded expression.
"Where are we?"
He explained in a panic, "I, I was too excited and nervous. I, I didn't look at the road …"
"And my palm is sweaty and wet. Yan Zheke must hate it …" Strong annoyance filled his heart.
Yan Zheke glanced at him and suddenly smiled. She pulled back her hand, took off her backpack, and took out a tissue. She handed it to him and said with a smile, "You didn't sweat so much even when you were in the Challenge Tournament …"
Lou Cheng took the tissue and wiped the sweat on his right hand. He felt a sense of loss and emptiness. He felt that his performance today was not good enough. They probably wouldn't have the chance to hold hands again. He had to wait for the next time.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a softness in his palm. The girl's cold left hand reached over and gently held the edge of his palm.
"This!"
Lou Cheng was wild with joy. He held her hand tightly and looked up. He saw Yan Zheke turned her head to the other side. Her delicate ears were red and the skin on the side of her face was as smooth as jade. There was a touch of soul-stirring redness.
PS: When I was writing this chapter, a song that I used to listen to often echoed in my mind: "The first time I held your hands, I lost my way and didn't know where to go … Ugh, did I reveal my age?"..
PS2: I had something to do today so I was running around outside. Two chapters will be released at the same time. There will be no more chapters tonight. But this is a good time to release them at the same time. I wrote the main point of the date and revealed the first opponent of the preliminaries. As for why I didn't release it as an extra chapter, it was because after two months of courting death, I successfully ran out of chapters. I'm finished.
