Brother Lou? Did Brother Rui just call Brother Lou Cheng, Brother Lou? Qi Yunfei blinked, feeling at a loss, in disbelief.
It was a wrong nickname!
However, they might be because they are in a good relationship as classmates and like to ridicule each other?
Well, that must be the case!
Next to her, Ding Yanbo was also with a look of sluggish, perplexed. He had entered Gushan Martial Arts School for nearly a month, and had not seen Brother Rui call someone else a brother!
The friendship between him and Feifei's cousin must be good. So good that they make jokes like that.
"Brother Lou sounds weird. It makes me sound so old." Lou Cheng took the cup with a smile. He raised the pot of buckwheat tea on the table and poured two half cups, "I heard you've got Amateur First Pin? You know I don't drink, so in place of alcohol, I'll use tea to toast to you. Congratulations."
Qin Rui immediately sat down, took the cup, and touched Lou Cheng's. After he finished and wiped his mouth, he smiled and said, "There's no need to congratulate me. I can't compare with you. I'm strong and tall, as long as I practice diligently enough and learn something really, Amateur First Pin is relatively simple to get. Huh. Anything more, will be difficult."
Can't compare with you? Qi Yunfei was once again confused, then she found a reason for herself again.
Brother Rui meant that his Amateur First Pin cannot compare with the diploma of Songcheng University?
Ding Yanbo had been stunned, Brother Rui was always wearing a serious face. Only when he was facing Senior Brother Dai would his expression be more normal. But now he was smiling so gently and sounding so sincere.
So this is his other side?
It was not like the Brother Rui he knew!
Are they best buddies?
In the face of Qin Rui's sigh, Lou Cheng poked fun at him, "Don't be modest. No fake fighting! I don't know how many people want to get Amateur First Pin. So in the future, you've to eat bite by bite. You've to walk step by step. Man, you'll always find a way."
"I mean it, at the end of April I thought you might get the certificate. And I specifically searched on the Internet. After searching, gosh, it scared me. I didn't dare to call to congratulate you. Feels like we're not in the same world," Qin Rui sighed and said with a smile. "And now only how long is it? Within a blink of an eye, you've gone past what I've imagined!"
While he listened to Qin Rui's ramble, Ding Yanbo rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he had recognized the wrong man.
Isn't this Brother Rui?
When did Brother Rui behave and nag like a 30 or 40-year-old drunkard?
He had not drunk anything yet, right? How could he be drunk!
Just as he was looking around, Qi Yunfei pulled his clothes, winked at him and then said, "They're so busy. There's no one serve us. I'll go directly to order food. Brother Lou Cheng, Brother Rui, what would you like?"
"Ten sticks of chicken wings, ten sticks of chicken butt... " Lou Cheng ordered his usual dishes. "Most importantly eggplant, six sticks. Qin Rui, what do you want to eat?"
Qin Rui shook his head and said, "I ate at 7 earlier, so I've no appetite now. I'll just pick some food off your plate. Uh, give me a can of coconut juice. I've also quit drinking."
"Haha, yes, nice quit!" Lou turned to Qi Yunfei, "I want a can of herbal tea, the others you can order yourself."
"Sure." Qi Yunfei pulled Ding Yanbo and walked towards the barbecue grilling area.
While waiting to order, she lowered her voice and scolded, "Liar!"
"What liar?" Ding Yanbo was not too sure why and what he was being scolded for.
"You said Brother Rui was very cool and very serious!" Qi Yunfei glanced at her boyfriend. "He doesn't seem like it when I met him earlier. He was laughing and smiling so much like a sunflower under the sun. How loving and warm!"
Ding Yanbo held his ch
in, smiled and said, "I don't understand, either! Maybe he gets along well with your brother... Feifei, you said your brother was also practicing martial arts and quite powerful. Did Brother Rui say how we could find his things on the Internet?"
"How would I know? I have never searched him before!" Qi Yunfei was also full of curiosity, urging, "Quickly! Google him!"
"Ah." Ding Yanbo took out the phone, opened the page APP, and entered two words "Lou Cheng". He thought this might not be too accurate so he asked, "Is your brother in Songcheng University?"
"Yes, I've told you several times!" Qi Yunfei said gruffly.
With "Lou Cheng, Songcheng University" as a key word, Ding Yanbo clicked on search. The page refreshed with new topics. Top of the list was the introduction of various subjects.
"Hey, some people have created a wiki page your brother!" Ding Yanbo excitedly pointed. He found that the editors were "Eternal Nightfall" "Brahman" and "Unparalleled Dragon King" and so on.
"Name: Lou Cheng"
"Age: 19"
"Height: 1.75 ~ 1.77m"
"Weight: unknown"
"School: Songcheng University"
"Martial Arts Rank: Professional Ninth Pin"
Seeing the term "Professional Ninth Pin", Ding Yanbo's heart skipped a beat. With a shake of his hand, he almost threw out the phone.
Professional Ninth Pin?
There was no Professional Ninth Pin in the entire martial arts circle of Xiushan...
No, everyone could edit or add anything to the Wikipedia, it was not credible... Ding Yanbo scrolled down the page and saw a photo. He determined that it was Lou Cheng, his girlfriend's cousin. At the same time, he also found some links. Some were fans forums, others were videos of his fights.
Videos never lie. It would be obvious whether it was CG or not! Ding Yanbo clicked on one and quickly dragged the progress bar forward.
Pop!
His cell phone dropped and hit the ground hard.
"What happened?" Qi Yunfei quickly checked on her boyfriend, and saw his mouth half opened.
Ding Yanbo shuddered and subconsciously bent over to pick up his phone. The flash of broken bricks as spider webs of brick and crazy double arms lashes seem to be truly hitting his soul.
That was scary!
That was scary!
Was this Feifei's cousin, really?
"What's wrong?" Seeing that her boyfriend did not answer, Qi Yunfei's tone turned darker.
Ding Yanbo passed the phone to her, "See it for yourself... "
"What's there to see?" Qi Yunfei's chubby face was filled of suspicion. She took the phone, clicked play and dragged the play bar countless times.
Pop!
The poor cell phone once again fell onto the ground, cracking the surface its tempered glass film protection.
Qi Yunfei's mouth slightly opened. Her eyes were filled with confusion.
To her, the shock she had just received was much bigger than Ding Yanbo. After all, this was the cousin whom she spent all summer vacation chatting with.
She took a breath, and with dazed eyes, she said,
"I might have met a fake cousin... "
Their eyes met and remained transfixed until it was their turn to order food.
After ordering, they took the coconut juice, herbal tea, and other beverages back to the seat, quietly. Then they overheard Lou Cheng telling Qin Rui how to upgrade from Amateur First Pin to Professional Ninth Pin.
"Getting into meditation is the best. This saves you a few years or even more years of body refining." Lou Cheng imitated his master's way of talking. "Think about it. You can only visualize after you know the concealment of spirit. And all the 'inner practice' needs visualization. If not, to polish by the accumulation of temper will be very hard."
"'Inner practice' 'is the core of body refining state. With higher rank, it will help practitioners quickly reached the physical quality of Professional Ninth Pin and even promote to the peak of body refining. But it is inherited, not every martial arts club can have it."
Qin Rui thoughtfully nodded his head. "I understand. Without supernatural ability, visualize meditation is the core of improving martial arts."
Speaking of which, he smiled. "But our martial arts club doesn't have 'inner practice'."
This was not any general stance training!
"When there is a will, there is a way. As long as you can use meditation, there are always ways to get 'inner practice,' such awards of preliminaries, exchange in the martial arts association or buy one on the market." Lou Cheng comforted Qin Rui.
The Martial Artist Association would often be referred to as the Martial Arts Association, so that it would sound closer to the people.
Qi Yunfei was silently sitting after she took the drinks to the table. She was behaving well — all quiet and cute. Her eyes constantly switched back and forth Lou Cheng and Qin Rui. She noticed that although her cousin's facial features did not change much, but his face and jawline was increasingly angular, exuding masculinity.
She did not look carefully before, now Brother Lou Cheng seemed to have really become more handsome and had this charming aura around him.
Lou Cheng could feel Qi Yunfei staring. He touched his face, slightly worried. He said,
"Is there something on my face?"
Did Keke leave the lipstick mark on my face again?
"Nothing!" Qi Yunfei was sitting more firmly than she would in front of her mother. Ding Yanbo was trembling, afraid to take a look, afraid to speak.
Lou Cheng took the drink. He helped Qin Rui open it and handed it to him. He laughed,
"Here! Drink for you... The thing with Ding Yanbo, all thanks to your help."
He just did not know how to call his cousin's boyfriend.
"What is this? I said no trouble!" Qin Rui and Lou Cheng did a cheer to each other and drank happily.
Qi Yunfei's eyes turned. She pulled up perplexed Ding Yanbo, urging, "Didn't you say want to make a toast to Brother Lou Cheng and say 'thank you' to him?"
"When did I ... " Ding Yanbo wanted to refute, but the little girl stared back at him. So he picked up the soy milk bottle nervously. "Brother Lou Cheng, thank you for your help."
Lou Cheng touched his jar and drank. When he was about to speak, Qin Rui interrupted, "Ding, meeting Cheng is your luck. Some skills he casually teaches you are stronger than ours. Don't waste his efforts."
"Yes, Brother Rui." Ding Yanbo was not a fool. He could hear Qin Rui's sincerity in that advice, so he quickly said, "Brother Lou Cheng, a toast to you again."
This time, he downed the whole bottle of soy milk.
"Practice martial arts hard. Don't let Feifei worry." Lou Cheng smiled, and made his point as a cousin. And then along the same topic, he asked, "Qin Rui, does your martial arts club have part-time coaches?"
Qin Rui paused for a moment, then he laughed. "Yes! We were just worried that manpower is not enough! Do you want to come?"
"I've nothing to do during this holiday. Practicing martial arts also costs me a lot. Ah, I don't want to trouble home on this matter, so I intend to find a martial arts part-time job." Lou Cheng calmly said.
"Great! We want experts like you!" Qin Rui answered with great surprise. "You don't know. Every summer vacation, many junior high school students will be sent by their parents to practice two months of martial arts. 'To get physical fitness.' Huh, we have more than a dozen summer classes every year. It's very easy. They don't want any ranking, just exercise."
