Outside the window, the night sky was like water, the lake rippling with light.
Lou Cheng sat on the recliner, his body blending into the darkness. He didn't make a single sound.
His gaze drifted, his vision distant. Just like that, he was lost in thought for a long time.
It had been almost a year since he made it to the semifinals of the Warrior Sage Battle and suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Dragon King. Ever since then, following the advice of Empress Luo and his master, Lou Cheng began to tap into the strength in his heart. He attempted to incorporate the various emotions he felt into his main body and present them through his mind to incorporate them into his moves.
This wasn't an easy task. It took him a full eight to nine months to barely get started. He also benefited from the unique and tragic experience of making the great leap and attaining Physical Invulnerability. He also benefited from the fact that his parents and master were aging year after year. He also benefited from the fact that the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with was temporarily separated from him. He also benefited from the fact that his friends were scattered all over the world, busy with their own affairs and rarely got together.
Just like now, as they were nearing graduation, Yan Zheke's workload and hardships were increasing by the day. She no longer had the time to chat during class. Even when they were back at home, there were too many things to do. They could only make use of the opportunity to communicate.
Lou Cheng, who had already made a trip to America during the new year, could only watch and wait for the end of June to arrive. He had truly tasted the helplessness and torment of a foreign relationship.
Originally, he would restrain this kind of emotion. When feelings of longing and melancholy arose, he would try his best to resolve them, divert his attention, and amuse his little fairy by making jokes. This was because he knew that the other party would definitely have similar feelings.
However, in order to tap into the strength in his heart, he could only indulge himself and let those emotions run amok. He tasted the loneliness, the longing, and the pain of not being able to see her.
The atmosphere was subtly brewing. In the darkness of the bedroom, there seemed to be a faint yet lingering feeling that was slowly dancing, like a veil of moonlight.
"I'm so busy! Your wife is so busy!" While she was in the bathroom, Yan Zheke sent an "aggrieved" message to him.
When the phone screen lit up, Lou Cheng felt both heartache and a smile. He broke free from the silence and replied with a smile,
"I was going to say that I helped you with it, but when I thought about the last time I flipped through your book, I knew every single word, but when they were put together, I couldn't understand what they were trying to express. I felt like an illiterate person …"
His self-deprecating words immediately amused the girl, and she felt that the tension and fatigue in her mind had eased a lot.
She replied with an emoji of holding her chin and rolling her eyes,
"As your life coach, I feel that when we return to China, I need to give you a special lesson. You can't be illiterate ~"
After chatting for a while, she once again threw herself into mental work. Lou Cheng's mood also improved.
Yes, there are still many beautiful things in life!
For example, no matter how busy Ke was, she wouldn't completely neglect the time they spent together. For example, her spring break in March didn't last long, and she had a lot of things to do, but she still traveled a long way and back just to get together with him in less than two days.
For example, his father was completely worshipped by their boss. He only had to worry about the technical aspects and lived like a second spring. For example, his mother slowly became fashionable. From time to time, she would drag his father and aunt to go on a trip. She didn't even need his encouragement anymore. For example, his grandparents were old and healthy, and they were still in good health.
For example, his master practiced the Nine Words Formula diligently, and his spirit nourished his body. Although his old injuries hadn't fully healed, they were completely under control. It didn't seem like a problem for him to live for another twenty or thirty years. For example, his brother-in-law entered the war-torn zones again, and after eight months of training, he found the "thing" he wanted. He successfully made the great leap and reached the Physical Invulnerability stage before the end of the year. For example, Hipster broke through two months earlier than his brother-in-law.
For example, Talker made a name for himself in the martial arts commentary world with his refreshing humor and witty style. Now that he had settled his father's company, he flew to the capital to reunite with his girlfriend. For example, Fatty Jiang finally embarked on the path of matchmaking after tireless efforts. After a few times, he had a girlfriend and a restaurant with booming business. For example, after a year of backpacking, Qin Rui vaguely felt the threshold of "receiving". For example, after a year of backpacking, Priest and Chihuahua had both gotten their Second Pin certificates, but clearly had the strength to challenge the First Pin.
For example, he could now say without a trace of guilt, "My strength is almost at the level of Super-Class."
After the Warrior Sage Battle last year, Lou Cheng continued to work hard and signed up for the Kirin Battle elimination round at the end of June and the beginning of July. Unfortunately, this time, he was put under a magnifying glass and suffered a terrifying counterattack from the Super-Class. Coupled with his bad luck in the draw, he didn't make it through the early stages of double-elimination.
He wasn't discouraged, but he gave up on the Master Battle at the end of October and went all out for the Battle of the Kings in December.
This time, despite his bad luck, he made it through several rounds and entered the top eight. Following that, he shone in the "Battle of Supreme Class" and made it to the top four for the second time. He was only one step away from getting the final spot in the round-robin battle of the top four (plus the champion). Unfortunately, he first lost to the Warrior Sage, then lost to Dong Baxian.
However, since then, his Super-Class strength was recognized and no one doubted him.
As of last week, all five title battles had finished their finals and were about to enter a new round. In the previous round, Dragon King had won the challenge and defeated Qian Donglou to win the Warrior Sage title. However, in the new year, he lost to his old nemesis and lost the honor of the King. In addition, Qian Donglou had successfully defended his Grandmaster title and Dragon King had reclaimed his Super Class title. However, Dong Baxian had narrowly kept his Kirin title and prevented the Legendary Twins from taking all the glory.
In the previous year's top professional matches, Longhu Club was extremely unlucky. Their main players were injured in several key matches and in the end, they could only surrender the title of World Number One to Shangqing Sect.
At this point in time, almost everyone believed that Warrior Sage and Dragon King were the best of the best among the Physical Invulnerability experts. However, everyone knew that this phase was coming to an end. In two or three years, they would most likely achieve a breakthrough and no longer participate in such matters.
Thoughts floated in his mind. Lou Cheng recalled for a moment, then lowered his head to read a novel and play a game.
At some point, he closed the app and lay back in the darkness.
After a long silence, he put his phone aside and played an audio clip.
"Lou Cheng! Lou Cheng! Go Lou Cheng! "
Her soft and clear voice echoed in the room, over and over again.
…
Just as dawn broke, Auman heard the ear-piercing sound of the alarm clock.
She wriggled around for a minute before finally sitting up and returning the room to silence.
She rubbed her eyes. Using the dim light, she sized up the warm, girlish decorations and decorations around her. She felt a sense of security and joy blossoming in her heart.
This was because this was a home, a home that truly belonged to her!
On the day she became the assistant of a Physical Invulnerability expert for a full year, she took out her savings and bought a house for herself. As the neighborhood and surrounding facilities were relatively good, she had to rely on a loan. However, the process was very easy and simple.
After that, she asked her parents to come over and help supervise the renovations. After a long period of drying, she officially moved in the day before yesterday.
Those who had never rented a house before would find it hard to understand her desperate desire to have a home in Huacheng. This was because living in someone else's place, even if it was a dorm provided by the company, would give her a sense of uncertainty and uncertainty that she would leave sooner or later.
Back when she was renting a house, she would have to move out from time to time due to the increase in price, or when the landlord wanted to take back the house that was given to her for her children. Every time, she would be physically and mentally exhausted.
Now, no one could force her to move out because this was her home!
Auman stretched herself and got out of bed to wash up.
When she saw her improved skin in the mirror, she felt even happier. At the same time, she understood that everything now was because of her boss, the super-class Mighty One, Mr. Lou Cheng.
Speaking of which, he was a very restrained and restrained person in all aspects.
For the past year, other than going to America and Xiushan, he had led a regular and simple life. Even when he wasn't practicing martial arts, his entertainment was mostly online. Moreover, he had a lot of self-control and would stop when the time was right. He didn't play too much, just like in Miss Shu Rui's "Entering the Physical Invulnerability" program.
He wasn't like this for a day or two, but for three to four hundred days.
After her bestie watched the program, she specially came over to ask about it. After getting confirmation from her, she said emotionally,
"I heard that people who are successful in martial arts have a strong desire in that aspect, let alone a Physical Invulnerability Mighty One … Look at your boss, he's practically the epitome of asceticism. Introverted, self-disciplined, restrained. He seems approachable but keeps a distance from temptation … Tsk, I wonder what kind of expression he'll have when he's in bed … Ahhhh, if there's a chance, I really can't help but try to seduce him and see if I can make him break …"
Her bestie's words were getting more and more ridiculous. Auman didn't know how to respond, but she couldn't help but think occasionally.
What would Mr. Lou be like in front of Miss Yan?
Pulling out a soft tissue, Auman wiped her face clean. She patted herself and stopped her previous thoughts.
She knew very well why she was able to get this job that everyone was envious of.
Seriousness, kindness, diligence, attentiveness, and most importantly, her responsibilities!
After tidying herself up, she walked out of the room and saw her parents laying out breakfast.
"Smells so good!" She beamed and walked over briskly.
Mr. Lou had to train at home today and would only leave for the airport at 7: 50 am. Therefore, she didn't have to reach his villa at 5: 30 am and could enjoy the breakfast made with love.
…
At 7: 45 am, Auman left the silver-grey MPV. After waiting for a few minutes, she saw Lou Cheng walking out of the villa with his luggage.
"Morning, Mr. Lou!" She smiled and greeted him.
"Morning." Lou Cheng nodded with a smile.
Auman stepped aside and watched the car door open by itself. She pointed inside and said,
"The breakfast you asked for is ready."
"Mm." Lou Cheng got into the car and sat in his usual seat. He pointed at the numerous dishes and said, "You should join us."
"It's okay. Thank you, Mr. Lou. I've already eaten. My mom made it." Auman smiled sweetly.
Breakfast made by her parents? Lou Cheng was stunned for a moment. He remembered how his mom used to cook beef with bamboo shoots. She would cook a huge pot and put it in the fridge. In the morning, she would take it out and put a big spoonful into the fridge.
Then, he recalled the mornings in Connecticut. Every time Aunt Du was on vacation, someone would volunteer to cook for her. However, she had to drag him along. In the process, he came up with a lot of Chinese and Western ideas. As for the taste, it was up to him to decide …
Thinking of this, he exhaled silently. After a few minutes of "contemplation", he calmed down and ate his breakfast.
"Mr. Lou, are you going directly to the airport?" Auman asked for confirmation.
"Mm." Lou Cheng nodded.
On April 11th, which was tomorrow, his master would be celebrating his 65th birthday. As his disciple, he had to go to Moshang.
PS: I recommend a book, "Purple Heaven". The author of the book, "Endless Artifacts", studied Taoism when he was in his second year of middle school and claimed to be able to resist poison. Mm, I quite like the theme of this book, preaching Taoism!
