Back in his room, Lou Cheng put on the navy blue Longhu Club martial arts suit and put in his cell phone and room card. When he was about to go out, he turned around and walked to the bed. He took out his wallet, took out two one-hundred-dollar notes and put them together with the room card.
Although it was convenient to pay by mobile phone and sometimes it didn't matter if he didn't carry money, he was traveling and didn't know what was going on. It was better to carry some money in case of an accident.
When he went downstairs, the fresh and refreshing air came into his nose. Lou Cheng took two deep breaths and felt comfortable both physically and mentally. He identified the direction in the morning mist and jogged slowly to the road on the right according to the map he had read before. After passing through two streets, he arrived at a temporarily empty and quiet square.
He found a corner and got into a stance to practice pole-standing. Starting from Yin and Yang, he focused on the inner practice of Thunder Roar Zen.
He visualized the thundercloud in his mind, which affected the muscles in his abdomen and brought out a rhythmic low rumble of thunder from his throat. The muscles all over his body followed the rhythm, sometimes tightening, sometimes exploding, creating a slight vibration inside to temper his bones, marrow, blood, and organs.
Compared to the time when he faced Mo Zicong's Elephant Trumpet, his bone marrow was condensed and his blood was running like a big river with vigorous vitality, washing and polishing every part of his body.
Thump, thump, thump!
Lou Cheng slightly controlled his heartbeat, making it sometimes intense and sometimes slow, so as to influence other viscera. Combined with the thunder vibration, they completed the wriggling together.
This was the sign that his martial arts had been practiced into his bones and was about to be practiced into his body. At that time, he would reach the peak of body refining and be able to integrate his internal and external forces into one. He would be able to control the muscles and bones that he couldn't control in the past and do all kinds of things that ordinary people found inconceivable.
For example, when he reached the Danqi stage, he could cover his ears by himself.
He had been training like this for nearly 50 minutes. The bright moon in the sky finally disappeared and the morning sun shone down, illuminating the darkness and dispelling the thin fog. At first, Lou Cheng was the only one in the square, and all was quiet. Later, morning trainers of all ages and ages started to appear one after another.
The low rumbling sound of thunder came from Lou Cheng's body, attracting the attention of all the men and women who passed by him. Those who were more experienced changed their expressions slightly, their eyes filled with awe and yearning.
Prolonged training was harmful to the body. The sound of blood flowing in Lou Cheng's body gradually slowed down. His wriggling abdomen also gradually stopped.
In the beginning, he could only train for twenty minutes. Now, he could train for forty-eight minutes. It was enough to show the improvement of his body and the strengthening of his bone marrow, blood, and organs.
Opening his eyes, he slowly began to practice the training routines, from "24 Blizzard Strikes" to "Big and Small Hand Wrap", and then to "Thunder Roar Zen", and mainly allocated his time to the latter.
Thunder Roar Zen didn't seem to pose any difficulty to him after he started practicing it. But when he started practicing it, Lou Cheng had new feelings and experiences every day. He had unearthed a lot of hidden meanings. Only recently did he feel that he had reached a higher level.
However, he underestimated the difficulty of combining "Thunder Roar Zen" and "Frost Force". After more than a month, he barely touched the threshold of the killing move "Severe Warning".
Lou Cheng wasn't anxious about this. His body hadn't reached the peak of body refining, so he couldn't rush other things. Moreover, according to his master, "Severe Warning" was a simplified version of physical invulnerability moves, so it wasn't easy to master.
After practicing one round, due to the limited environment and the crowd, he didn't practice his moves. Instead, he stood still and practiced "Ice Mirror" again.
Combined with the inward vision brought by the Jindan, he tried again and again, but the result was no surprise. He failed shamefully every time. But during this process, his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, soul, spirit, and other senses were gradually transforming.
At 7: 40, he exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, put away his stance, wiped his sweat, and walked back along the road where the street lights were out. He felt full of spirit and vigorous Qi and blood, with an inexplicable certainty.
His relationship with Yan Zheke, from the beginning to the end, was too beautiful to be real. It always made him feel insecure, like it was a dream, and when he woke up, everything would be gone. But after the emotional communication last night, he realized that a lot of the beautiful things were exchanged for by Yan Zheke's obedience, compromise, and tolerance. If it continued without him noticing it, and his behavior didn't change much, it was very likely to develop from quantitative change to qualitative change, and become the source of quarrels, contradictions, and even breakup.
Ke's words last night were a little hurtful, but because of this, he remembered it clearly. Every time he thought of it, his heart would tighten and he would shiver.
The false veil of pure beauty was removed, and the differences in ideas, thoughts, and habits between a man and a woman began to show. They started to get along, but Lou Cheng didn't feel regret. Instead, he felt more grounded, because this way, they would last for a long time.
His little fairy was floating in the sky, and one day he would be unable to touch her. When she turned back to Yan Zheke and fell to the ground, she would be the girl he could live with.
If he didn't care about her, if he didn't think about the future, he wouldn't have said that out loud …
Lou Cheng walked forward confidently. The insecurity he felt in the past when he was always afraid of losing Yan Zheke was made up a lot.
After walking for a few minutes, he saw rows of breakfast stalls in front of the community. They were steaming and giving off the smell of life.
"What should I eat? What should I buy for Ke? " Lou Cheng looked around and chose a noodle stall first. After a few glances, he ordered a bowl of noodles with zhajiang sauce and a bowl of braised beef noodles.
The stall owner had seen a lot of customers with a big appetite. He didn't ask if Lou Cheng was alone or with two people. After a shout, he picked up enough noodles and put them into a big iron pot.
While waiting, Lou Cheng found a table at random and sat next to it. Looking at the poor people who had to work overtime during the holidays and watching them pick and choose at the breakfast stalls, he suddenly felt a little more relaxed.
Not long after, two bowls of noodles were served. Lou Cheng didn't eat in a hurry. He took a picture first and planned to send it to Yan Zheke later. He would ask her what she wanted to eat. If she didn't wake up or didn't know what to eat, he would make the decision himself.
He ate in full swing. He felt that this stall had a lot of ingredients. The stewed beef was very soft, and the sauce was very fragrant. Except for the quality of the noodles, it was good.
He finished the two bowls of noodles quickly. After asking the stall owner if he could pay with his mobile phone, he had to take out the cash.
After that, he strolled around the breakfast stalls leisurely. Sometimes he would eat a bowl of wonton, and sometimes he would eat a tray of soup dumplings.
This reminded him of the first few years of primary school and middle school when his father's company was close to bankruptcy. The uncles and aunties in the community lived a hard life. They either went out to work or set up stalls to make a living. Therefore, at that time, there were many breakfast stalls in the community and outside the school. Many of them were acquaintances. However, he didn't have a big appetite back then. He couldn't eat one stall after another like now.
Wang Xu, on the other hand, grew up early and had a strong body. He had to eat three or four stalls every day to be full. His family was even more poor than his own. Sometimes he would ask for credit, but he never said that he wouldn't pay back. Even after he entered the society, he didn't eat and drink for free.
Because of this little bit of behavior, he always thought that his nature was not bad.
When he was almost done, Lou Cheng sent a picture of the food to Yan Zheke on QQ and recommended the breakfast that he identified as clean and good.
After waiting for a few minutes, he didn't get a reply from Yan Zheke. He put away his phone and went back to a stall. He asked for a tray of soup dumplings and a bowl of braised beef noodles.
Carrying two sets of food in his right hand, he quickened his pace in case it would be bad if it got cold. When he was about to turn the corner, he suddenly heard a panicked shout in front of him.
"Thief!"
"Thief!"
Uh … Lou Cheng looked up and saw a girl in her twenties stumbling to catch up with a skinny young man.
He pursed his lips and observed for a while. Then he took two steps to the left and happened to pass by the young man. Then he quietly stretched out his foot to the side.
Thump!
The young man tripped and immediately lost his center of gravity. He tried to stabilize himself with some Kung Fu, but it was too slow. In the end, he fell heavily on the ground and was chased a few steps away by the girl.
He turned over and stood up. He took out a dagger from his waist and waved it a few times with a fierce look.
Lou Cheng suddenly rushed to the front of the young man. He grabbed the dagger with his left hand and twisted it skillfully. The dagger fell to the ground with a clang.
He leaned his body and controlled his strength to hit the young man. The young man almost stopped breathing and staggered to the ground again. The girl caught him and took back the phone from his pocket.
Many people had come over and the young man had lost his strength to fight back. Lou Cheng, who was anxious to send breakfast to his girlfriend, turned around and walked away.
During the smooth movement just now, he kept his right hand steady and didn't let the soup spill.
The girl saw that some people helped to hold down the young man. She hurriedly turned around and shouted to Lou Cheng's back,
"Thank you!"
"Don't go!"
She shouted and chased after him. It seemed that she wanted to thank him in person.
Lou Cheng didn't turn around. Instead, he sped up. He waved his left hand and answered happily,
"You're welcome!"
Please call me Red Scarf!
The girl had been chasing the young man for a while and was exhausted. She had to stop and breathe heavily. Then she seized the time to take a picture of Lou Cheng's back with her phone.
Click!
She looked at Lou Cheng's shabby navy blue Longhu Club martial arts suit and the two boxes in his right hand. She exhaled and posted the picture on her Wechat Moments with the caption,
"Super handsome and awesome delivery boy!"
…
When Lou Cheng was about to return to the hotel, he finally saw Yan Zheke's reply.
She said with a "pitiful" face, "Cheng, where are you?"
"Miss me?" Lou Cheng replied with a "naughty smile".
Yan Zheke sent a sad emoji biting her handkerchief and said, "Well, I feel a little scared when I wake up in a strange place. I miss you a little, a little …"
"Hey hey, I'm about to enter the elevator!" This was the first time that Lou Cheng felt a girl's attachment. He was suddenly excited.
After what happened last night, the relationship between Ke and I seemed to have improved.
He came to Yan Zheke's door and knocked twice. Then the door opened with a squeak.
Yan Zheke was wearing the light-colored pajamas with cartoon patterns from last night. She looked at Lou Cheng with a smile and said, "I feel like you bought me noodles, steamed buns and youtiao!"
"Except for the youtiao, everything is right!" Lou Cheng immediately laughed and said, "Our hearts are in sync!"
"Hey hey …" Yan Zheke laughed and took the food. She sat at the table and started to eat. Lou Cheng stood beside her and admired her small but fast eating manner.
While glancing at her, he found that her eyes were slightly swollen. He blurted out,
"Last night, I thought you would cry …"
Yan Zheke tapped her chin with her chopsticks and said while thinking,
"I cry when I read novels and TV series. When I'm moved, I cry. When I'm really sad, wronged or painful, I won't cry. I'm very tolerant."
"Humph, do you want me to cry?"
"No, I'm just curious. I've never seen you cry since we met." Lou Cheng said with a smile.
Yan Zheke picked up a steamed bun and put it near her mouth. She gave him a stare.
After the girl finished breakfast, Lou Cheng planned to go back to his room to take a shower and change clothes before leaving for the mountain.
He had just walked a few steps out of the door when he suddenly heard Yan Zheke call softly,
"Cheng …"
"Hmm?" Lou Cheng looked back and saw the girl leaning against the door with half of her head. She said with a blush, "I'm talking about getting along like last night …"
There was no taste of lust, only the closeness of heart to heart.
"I like it too," Lou Cheng said with a sincere smile.
At this time, he suddenly thought of Yan Zheke's words last night. Sometimes, she is not very willing to be intimate.
So sometimes, is she very willing to be intimate?
Alas, a girl's mind is really hard to understand …
They smiled at each other and went back to their rooms. Lou Cheng was about to take a shower when he heard his phone ring. He picked it up and saw that it was Casanova, Little Ming.
"Talker, why are you calling me so early in the morning instead of whispering sweet nothings to your girlfriend?" Lou Cheng said sarcastically.
Cai Zongming snorted and said, "When are you going back to Songcheng? My wife thinks that you are a very good friend. You have taken good care of me, helped me quit smoking, and more or less quit drinking. Now that I have a new goal and motivation, she wants to treat you to a meal and thank you. Yes, these are her original words. How can I think the same? I'm clearly the one who's teaching you. I'm the one who's acting as your emotional consultant and making you mature! "
"Damn, you're quite a tsundere …" Lou Cheng almost burst out laughing, but he still said emotionally,
"We are good friends, right?"
It is really a lucky thing to meet a good friend who can help each other.
Cai Zongming was silent for a while and said, "Cheng, did you hit your head? Are you possessed by someone's spirit? I don't think it's a problem if you insult me, call me a bitch, or ask me to get lost. But you suddenly call me good friend. My hair is standing up, okay? "
Lou Cheng felt like he was splashed with cold water. He could only twitch his mouth and said, "I have never seen a person who doesn't listen to good words and wants to be scolded …"
"Well, when are you going back to Songcheng?" Cai Zongming laughed.
Lou Cheng answered honestly, "The afternoon of the third."
"Okay, I will set it at night. Anyway, her flight is on the morning of the fourth. If Yan Zheke is willing, she can come too. Then you will be more restrained. If you dare to speak ill of me, I will expose your embarrassing things! "Cai Zongming added" fiercely "and hung up the phone.
Lou Cheng held the phone with a smile on his face. He was quite interested in this invitation. He was just curious and wanted to see what the girl who could make the Casanova surrender was like.
