In the hotel room, Lou Cheng stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the starry river of lights in the distance. His mind was calm and relaxed as he thought about the crab and Yan Zheke.
Many details, with the passage of time, only left a vague image, but the substance had already become instinctive, becoming a conditioned reflex. Usually, one would not feel anything, but when the familiar scene hit, everything would suddenly become clear, vivid in one's mind, and one would feel the depth and meaning of the traces. These were the foundations of the building.
He quietly watched for a while and calculated the time when the girl's class ended. He picked up his phone, typed a line, and silently deleted it.
After three times, he opened his mouth with a bitter smile.
"There's something I don't know if I should tell you. If I tell you, I'm afraid you'll feel sad and pressured. If I don't tell you, I'm afraid you'll think I've become cold and not passionate enough."
Yan Zheke was packing up her books and moving to another classroom. She suddenly saw this line and replied with a confused expression.
"What's the matter? Just tell me. I'm mentally strong. "
What's wrong with Cheng?
Lou Cheng's lips curled up slightly. He typed word by word.
"It's about how I miss you very much."
Yan Zheke was speechless. Her lips pursed into a smile. Half puzzled and half happy, she asked,
"Why do you suddenly miss me?"
"When I had a meal with Hipster and the others, the priest brought a girl over. She was a food blogger and very good at peeling crabs. She peeled crabs for everyone. At that time, my reply was, 'Thank you, you peeled them very well.' I remember you taught me this." Lou Cheng described what had happened in a concise and comprehensive manner. He didn't say why he missed her, only that he remembered it.
"… You've mastered it well." Yan Zheke felt her heart soften. All her emotions were settled. The four words "I miss you very much" were no longer empty. They had concrete and deep support.
Without waiting for Lou Cheng to reply, she added,
"Yesterday, I saw a black junior wearing a feather coat and a star crown in the corridor … This has become a trend in school …"
So, I miss you very much too.
"Why didn't you say so before …" Lou Cheng understood what she was implying.
Yan Zheke replied, "[Proudly looking at the sky expression] I'm just worried that someone will be impulsive and directly book a flight here."
"In the past, it would definitely be like this … Now, I can only enter the country once every half a year."
Furthermore, they couldn't use it for more than ten days at a time. This was the restriction imposed on Physical Invulnerability experts.
"You're right …" Yan Zheke sent an emoji of "sitting in a daze". Suddenly, she felt an urge to take out her notebook and timetable and look through her schedule. She wanted to go back to China for the weekend and give someone a surprise.
In certain matters, she had always possessed great courage and a strong drive for action.
After flipping through it again and again, her expression suddenly fell. This was because in the first year of learning from the master, her schedule was packed. There were too many investigations and research to complete on the weekends. This was also the way she had chosen to graduate early.
Sigh … She stood up and turned into a nearby public restroom. Standing in front of the sink, she took off her black-rimmed glasses and splashed cold water on her face.
Raising her head, she looked at her beautiful face in the mirror. Yan Zheke suddenly reached out and pressed the corners of her eyes. Sticking out her tongue, she made a face for herself. This was her favorite face when she was young.
"It's all your fault!" She stared at the "opposite" and muttered.
…
After a few days, the main competition of the Master Battle came to an end. Warrior Sage, Qian Donglou, had obtained the right to challenge Dragon King. The two of them would have another showdown during the Spring Festival.
After flying back to Huadu, Lou Cheng didn't rest that day. After a slight adjustment, he instructed Auman to inform the driver to pick him up at the villa.
It was two in the afternoon and Connecticut was quiet. It would be a waste if he didn't use this time to practice martial arts.
Furthermore, after the Master Battle, he had a lot of questions to answer.
At 2: 50 pm, the luxurious and spacious nanny van stopped at the entrance of the villa by Xiapei Lake.
Lou Cheng sat in the back and glanced at Auman, who hadn't put down her luggage.
He smiled and said, "You go back first and have a good rest. I don't have anything to do today. I'll just train for two or three hours. Just let Old Zhao wait."
Old Zhao was the driver, Zhao Zhenhua.
Auman shook her head with a radiant smile.
"I can rest at the club and I don't have to cook or order takeout."
"That's good." Lou Cheng didn't insist. He leaned back and closed his eyes, as though he was resting.
Seeing this, Auman carefully took out a book from her bag and started reading seriously. She would take notes on her phone from time to time.
After spending some time with the assistants of other Physical Invulnerability Mighty Ones, she had learned how to learn by herself and not waste time.
This also stemmed from a small obsession in her heart. Although no one would badmouth her in front of her, there would always be people gossiping behind her back, thinking that she had sold her body to become a professional assistant. As for who she sold her body to, no one would dare to say it out loud, but the answer was self-evident.
Because of this, the joy of her change in life lessened. She didn't even share it with her parents and best friends. She only told them that she had been promoted, got a raise, and was shining brightly in an important position in the club.
I want to be a truly outstanding assistant … Auman clenched her fist. In the stable car, which barely shook, she would read a book or put on her earphones to watch related videos.
Due to a car accident, half of the road was blocked. Lou Cheng took half an hour to reach the club and the exclusive training ground.
Other than the public areas, there were ten secret spaces, each sealed by a metal door. This allowed each Physical Invulnerability Mighty One to enjoy their own space and not disturb each other.
As soon as he pushed open the door of the training ground, he saw a figure standing upright. He was wearing a navy blue martial arts suit, standing in the bright afternoon sun. Although his face was full of sweat and he couldn't hide his tiredness, he had the temperament of an immovable mountain.
This was the Dragon King, Chen Qitao!
Even though the other Physical Invulnerability Mighty Ones in the club weren't around, he didn't relax his standards.
As though he had already sensed Lou Cheng's approach, Chen Qitao wasn't surprised. He only nodded slightly as a form of greeting.
He strode towards the corridor leading to the Volcano Laboratory. When he brushed past Lou Cheng, he paused for a few seconds and said sternly,
"During this time, practice Nine Rotations of Five Flames again."
"Huh?" Lou Cheng was a little confused.
The Nine Rotations of Five Flames. Descend of the Sun was an External Invulnerability secret art. Due to its compatibility with the Cosmic Style, Lou Cheng didn't dare to say that he was comparable to the Dragon King. However, in terms of precision and ease of control, he was superior to veteran Fire Sect Mighty Ones like Optimus Prime Long Zhen. It was a work he was proud of.
Why do I have to practice again?
Chen Qitao put his hands behind his back and said in a deep and heavy voice,
"You relied on cultivation techniques to omit the complicated control techniques in Nine Rotations of Five Flames. These things won't help you better use Nine Rotations of Five Flames, but they can improve your control of various flames. This is the foundation of the basics."
"Some shortcuts can be taken, but some things can't be saved."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Dragon King strode forward again and walked past Lou Cheng. The size and shape of each step were the same as the previous one. It was as though he was copying and pasting.
Lou Cheng was stunned for a moment. He quickly understood that he had almost neglected the most important foundation.
He hurriedly turned around and saluted the Dragon King's back.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior."
Chen Qitao didn't turn around, stop, or look back. It was as though he hadn't said anything.
After watching the Dragon King disappear around the corner of the corridor, Lou Cheng left the training ground and changed his route to the Physical Invulnerability Training Room. He started practicing Nine Rotations of Five Flames. Descend of the Sun again!
After an entire afternoon of hard training, Lou Cheng used a towel to wipe the water droplets off his forehead. He changed into fresh clothes and headed to the restaurant to eat, just like he did most of the time in Huacheng.
At seven in the evening, he returned to the villa. After sending Auman and the driver Zhao Zhenhua away, Lou Cheng chatted with Cai Zongming, Jiang Fei, and the rest on QQ until Little Fairy finished her morning exercise.
"Cheng, before I went to bed last night, I saw an invitation for a luxurious tour group. It's going to Huacheng!" Yan Zheke said excitedly.
"So?" Lou Cheng asked back, pretending to be confused.
Ke Ke will only be back during the winter break. I'll be the tour guide then.
"Seriously …" Yan Zheke said. "You've been in Huacheng for a few months. Haven't you thought of bringing Uncle and Auntie here for some fun? Didn't you say that they had a hard time and had almost never traveled before? Sign them up for a tour group and let them have a look around Huacheng. They won't be staying at a hotel but at home. Auman can get a driver to pick them up. You don't have to go through so much trouble. Just spend time with them when you're home every day! "
"…" Lou Cheng was stunned for a while. "Who exactly is their child?"
I've never thought of such a thing. I was thinking of going back home for a few days in December.
Men aren't as attentive as girls in this aspect …
"Tsk, it's good that you have such self-awareness. Ask Uncle and Auntie if they're free from November 27th to December 7th. Hmm, the tour group is only for seven days. Leave two days before and after to let them get familiar with our house. We can even make you a dinner of love ~ Anyway, you can book the plane tickets yourself." Yan Zheke said proudly.
Lou Cheng's lips curled up a little. Then, he emphasized with a smirk,
"Call them mom and dad!"
