After running, bathing, changing his clothes and finishing his breakfast, Lou Cheng went back to his dorm and arrived at the entrance of dormitory three, waiting for Yan Zheke to come out.
The girl had always been punctual, and sometimes she would even arrive slightly ahead of time. Within minutes Lou Cheng saw her appearing at the unit doorway, holding a bag, and walking towards him with light footsteps.
As usual, she was in the white Songcheng University martial arts suit with black trim. However, it was the martial arts suit for reserves. She wore a pink white overcoat on the outside and looked like a beautiful white flower.
Lou Cheng went forward to welcome her, take over her bag and hold her delicate hand, smiling.
"You seemed to have come around pretty good. Your muscles aren't aching anymore, are they?"
When coming back to the new school campus area last night, he again brought Yan Zheke to the lakeside, where he applied ointment on her aching muscles and then kneaded them to ease her weariness. Obviously, he was striving to be a good boyfriend.
The girl's fragrance, her tender skin and gorgeous face had been attracting Lou Cheng during the process. Especially when he helped the girl take off her martial arts shoes and socks to do a foot massage, he felt as if he was undoing her clothes and hurried to kick the idea out of mind with superhuman self-control ability. To make it up to himself, he gave the girl a passionate kiss.
"They're no longer aching." Yan Zheke smiled, showing her dimples. "I should call you massage master!"
"Hey hey, whenever you felt tired after special training or competition, you can come to me for this kind of physiotherapy." Lou Cheng tried hard to keep the big smile off his face.
By then Yan Zheke would have finished all the matched, so there would be nothing for him to worry about and thus struggle with his desire!
Just thinking of it made Lou Cheng full of anticipation for the days to come!
Yan Zheke rolled her eyes, giving Lou Cheng a stare, and then said with anger and shame,
"You're grinning like a lecher!"
Am I an idiot? Hum, you'll certainly do the "physio" in front of other people to show off our relationship!
"What?" Lou Cheng looked at her in bewilderment.
If it was not because both his hands were occupied by the girl and her bag, Lou Cheng must be kneading his stiff face now.
"Just look at yourself!" Yan Zheke covered her mouth and chuckled.
While chatting and laughing, they rushed directly to the school bus station, where Guo Qing, Li Mao and the other fellows were waiting for them.
After getting on the bus and sitting themselves down, Yan Zheke noticed Lou Cheng's tired face and asked with concern, "Cheng, you looked so tired?"
She stopped here for Dirty Tong's words suddenly occurred to her, which made her face flushed. Fighting back the laughter, she turned to look outside the windows while asking in a pretended casual voice, "You, did you sleep well last night?"
Lou Chen's figure flashed across her mind as rushing to the toilet with his waist and back bent last night. She tried so hard to stifle a laugh that her body was shaking because of it.
Oh, no! I'm corrupted by Cheng and Dirty Tong…
The girl's reaction and her question made Lou Cheng's thick-skinned face flushed immediately.
Lou Cheng actually had an erotic dream last night, but he couldn't remember Yan Zheke's charming appearance when he woke up this morning…
Alas, after all he was a strong young man with superhuman energy. Could he still stay calm under so much physiological stimulation yesterday?
Ke's mother had warned him to behave himself since enough was enough. It now seemed to be a great test!
But to what extent it was enough?
Thinking about it, he lowered his voice and explained, "You wronged me, Coach Yan. I got tired not for that reason but because I m
anaged to cross the threshold of visualization method today and have overdrafted my mental power."
"Visualization method…" Being born in a martial arts aristocratic family, Yan Zheke naturally could understand what Lou Cheng's visualization method was. She hurried to turn around and asked in a surprised and cheerful voice, "Coach Shi acknowledged you as his disciple?"
He even showed Cheng the "visualization diagram"!
"Yes." Lou Cheng admitted frankly.
Master, I never told anyone about it while she guessed right herself. So I haven't broken my promise!
Yan Zheke rolled her eyes joyfully and twisted her lips into a smile."From now on you're a martial arts expert's disciple with a strong background, and you'll no longer be bullied by anyone."
Even those venerable seniors will think highly of you!
"That's far from enough. Only through improving your own strength could you earn true honor and respect." Having just crossed the threshold of visualization method, Lou Cheng was now full of confidence.
Looking at his black eyes shining with confidence, Yan Zheke smiled. "It took my cousin three months to learn the rudiments of Meteor force's corresponding visualization method…"
Even if Cheng had been learning and comprehending the visualization diagram since his Power of Frost was awakened, it took him less than one month!
Thinking of it, she couldn't help letting pride and joy color her tone.
Lou Cheng didn't tell the truth that he spent only one week, for he thought it was in large part due to the Jindan's help. So he just smiled and explained, "Maybe everyone has different talents. I'll soon master Frost Force with the help of my Power of Frost!"
Through saying these things, he didn't mean to show off his achievement but to share the good news with his beloved girl and thus strengthened her confidence.
According to what Little Ming, the Casanova said about the long-distance relationship, Lou Cheng identified a stress on it: When facing the challenge of time and distance, relationship keeping relied not only on the emotion but also on the lovers' faith in each other. So they should give each other enough confidence in all aspects.
"Frost Force…" Yan Zheke repeated Lou Cheng's words in a low voice, and her face was lit up by unobtrusive joy.
Being not content with merely holding the girl's hand, Lou Cheng entwined his fingers with hers while enjoying the moment of happiness. In the lover's eyes, any topics even the most boring ones became so interesting.
After a while, Yan Zheke rolled her eyes wickedly and again brought up the question out of curiosity. "It's not for that reason that you get so tired, so you've admitted that you didn't sleep well last night? Did you dream about something strange?"
The girl blushed as soon as her voice faded. Turning to look outside the window, she couldn't help turning around secretly to see Lou Cheng's reaction.
She found herself getting more bold and cheeky after such a time together with Cheng, which was terrible
Lou Cheng forced a hollow laugh since the question remained him of how he got up to change his underpants on past midnight. He decided to tell the truth in a flirtatious tone,
"Yeah, I had an erotic dream, about you and me…"
"Stop!" Yan Zheke pounded on his Leg with his own hand and turned her eyes away in a flurry, but her flushing ears gave her out. After a long while, she calmed down and turned to mouth at Lou Cheng. "You Lothario!"
"Didn't you raise the question yourself? Why're you so embarrassed? Girls are always weird…" Lou Cheng wanted to scratch the back of his head in confusion.
Noticing he had behaved himself, Yan Zheke nodded in satisfaction and said voluntarily, "Come a little closer, I'll knead your temple to show you my ability as a massage master!"
"Good!" This pleasant surprise suddenly struck Lou Cheng. He moved sideward to make room for the girl, who began kneading his temple with her slender and nimble fingers, relieving fatigue.
"You're so skilled. When did you learn it?" Lou Cheng praised sincerely.
Yan Zheke raised her chin and replied with a little pride, "Yesterday when you gave me the massage. It's so easy that I immediately mastered the essentials. No one is as stupid as you are!"
"Yes, of course. You're the symbol of wisdom in our home!" Lou Cheng praised her dramatically.
The tender girl induced a feeling of well-being. How Lou Cheng wished the road to old campus was long enough instead of only half an hour's drive!
Yan Zheke's opponent this morning was Zhang Hengwang, the strongest in her group whose fighting videos had already been spread on the Internet.
Lou Cheng felt lucky that Zhang Hengwang was not the girl's first opponent. When analyzing the fighting videos yesterday, Lou Cheng found Yan Zheke unexperienced in actual combat compared with Zhang Hengwang and thus easy to make mistakes.
However, after watching the girl's three matches yesterday, Lou Cheng was sure his girlfriend was no longer a rookie. Considering her strength, her superior familial kungfu and what she had learned from his analysis of the fighting videos, she had at least 70 percent of odds-on to win the match.
Yan Zheke rolled her eyes joyfully and twisted her lips into a smile.
However, Lou Cheng had been worrying about the girl for fear of any accidents that would make the girl upset.
Just then, he saw three figures come towards him, whom he had once met but was not familiar with.
"Dream Squad?" Lou Cheng said to himself.
They were exactly Qian Ruoyu, Jiang Dingyi and Feng Shaokun!
"What a coincidence." Qian Ruoyu greeted Lou Cheng with a charming smile.
Lou Cheng felt a little confused. "Yeah, I've never thought you'd come here."
They were all of Amateur First Pin and didn't need to enter for the Ranking Event.
"We come to cheer for our junior sisters and junior brothers just like what you and your girlfriend," Qian Ruoyu laughed and turned her gaze to Yan Zheke on the ring. "I saw you by accident and come to say hello."
"I see…" Lou Cheng simply replied. He didn't want to talk more since he was unfamiliar with the comers.
Qian Ruoyu didn't pay much attention to Lou Cheng's attitude as she continued with a smile,
"Are you going to join the work-study program this summer break? How about doing a part-time job in my family's martial arts club? A nine-to-five job with considerable payment. And you only need to guide the students on their basic movements."
She was actually conveying an invitation from her father. Since Lou Cheng was a gifted fighter with great potential and strong background, there were many fighters and forces intending to court him.
Though one couldn't always turn enemies into allies, one more friend might provide you one more way, which was a universal truth that those cunning old fox all knew clearly!
Lou Cheng knew he would soon reach the peak of body refining realm before summer break with the help of Thunder Roar Zen. After that he needed to prepare for knocking the door of Danqi State, which would cost him much money. So Lou Cheng had been looking for ways to make money—He still had some private money, which was used for dating with Yan Zheke and would certainly be not enough!
But Yan Zheke must come back to Xiushan during summer break, so there was no need for him to stay at Songcheng.
He could also make money at Xiushan!
Thinking of it, Lou Cheng replied politely,
"I'm sorry but I must go home this summer break. Given an opportunity next time, I'll be willing to take the part-time job."
"You're always welcome." Qian Ruoyu was still wearing her standard smile.
Until they turned and walked away, Qian Ruoyu took a deep breath and said,
"I felt so stressful and self-abased when staying with that guy…"
