Chapter 748 - 746: Seriously Speechless
Chen Tianlong didn’t dodge directly. Instead, he reached out to receive Zhang Xiaochao’s Ice Fist. However, he didn’t take it head-on. He used Powerful Qi to protect his arm and then cushioned the impact by moving in the same direction. When the fist brushed past Chen Tianlong’s chest, he twisted his body to the side and took two steps back, planting his feet firmly in a horse stance. A mark from his shoes appeared on the rubber track.
"Hiss...."
Chen Tianlong gritted his teeth and inhaled sharply; his palm was throbbing with a piercing pain. At the last moment, he decided to take the move. Otherwise, he thought that this Zhang Xiaochao wouldn’t admit defeat easily.
Finally, it was over. Zhang Xiaochao’s hand was firmly grasped by Chen Tianlong, and though his own hand was trembling, he had nonetheless caught it, making Zhang Xiaochao the loser.
"Gah?" Zhang Xiaochao was astonished to see his hand tightly held by Chen Tianlong. What kind of strength does it take to catch my Cold Ice Fist unharmed?
"Alright, you win! My sister has good taste. Chen Tianlong, I respect you. I trust you with my sister."
"...."
Now it was Chen Tianlong’s turn to be speechless. Why did this sound so awkward? Weren’t we talking about the match? How did it come to Zhang Yufei’s matter as if he was giving his sister to him?
"Cough cough cough.... Zhang Xiaochao, you’ve lost. Is everything settled now? I’m leaving, got to go to class, bye-bye."
Chen Tianlong finished speaking, gave Yang Xinru and Zhao Lei a glance, signaling them to get ready to leave, and then took off running.
"Hey hey hey... Chen Tianlong, wait up, I still want to ask, do you really like my sister? Hey hey.... don’t run!" Zhang Xiaochao shouted as he chased after him.
Chen Tianlong felt so speechless; he thought, today I’ve met a madman. So, the three of them bolted towards the classroom. As Chen Tianlong glanced back, he saw Yang Xinru and Zhao Lei covering their mouths, laughing nonstop.
"What are you guys laughing at? Stop it." Chen Tianlong knew what they were laughing about; it was definitely about Zhang Xiaochao trying to match his sister with him.
"Hahaha...."
"Hahaha.... this is killing me! I can’t even." Zhao Lei laughed without saying anything, while Yang Xinru, being more cheerful and straightforward, laughed and talked at the same time.
Chen Tianlong felt embarrassed, but it was no surprise. A brother directly introducing his sister to someone and even asking if they like her, it was indeed funny.
By now, the three had arrived at class 3-1.
"Tianlong, how’s the competition setup coming along? Do you know if we can bring popcorn to eat?" As soon as Lu Xiaoyu saw Chen Tianlong sit down, she asked.
"..." Chen Tianlong was speechless. Could Lu Xiaoyu talk about something other than food? It felt like his head was full of it, but he still managed a wry smile and said, "It should be allowed, but since some city officials will be there tomorrow, just don’t be too conspicuous. Keep it elegant, as long as you’re not caught."
"Oh, elegant, don’t worry about that. I’m naturally elegant, no pressure." Lu Xiaoyu said very earnestly.
"Pfft....."
Yang Xinru, who was drinking water beside them, suddenly almost spat out the water she was about to swallow, barely holding it back at the last moment.
"Ah, Xinru, what’s wrong? Don’t get too excited. Although I’m being modest, I am truly elegant, aren’t I, aren’t I?" Lu Xiaoyu continued her self-adoration.
"Oh, yes, must be." Yang Xinru replied perfunctorily.
"Tianlong, you see, even Xinru is praising me for being elegant, and yet you won’t acknowledge it." Lu Xiaoyu said with her hands on her hips.
"Alright, Xiaoyu is the most elegant." Chen Tianlong was left with no words, so he just praised her.
"Oh? Did you just say Xiaoyu is the most elegant? Then what about Mengting? If I compare to her, doesn’t that mean I’m even more elegant?" Lu Xiaoyu, being the crafty one, finally got Chen Tianlong to admit it.
"Gah?"
Chen Tianlong realized he’d been tricked again. But there was no choice; he had been careless, always tripping over himself. So, he deliberately changed the subject, "Xiaoyu, remember to buy an extra bucket of popcorn for me later. I’ll cover it."
"Aha, sure thing, Tianlong, if you can’t finish it, hand it over to Xiaoyu, I love it the most." Lu Xiaoyu almost forgot about the trap she set earlier.
"Hmm, that’s fine, I can even give you two buckets." Chen Tianlong sighed with a wry smile, his attempt to change the subject proved successful.
"Pfft...." This time, Yang Xinru couldn’t hold it in any longer and spat out a mouthful of water. It was just too funny, Xiaoyu was indeed a character.
That high school day passed just like that, simple and uncomplicated. Meanwhile, as a high school teacher, Shen Yan was sitting idly in her office. After glancing at the textbook for a while, she suddenly felt bored.
The afternoon was exceptionally dull. After teaching one class, there were no further classes. Thinking of the martial arts competition tomorrow morning, an image of someone popped into her mind without her realizing it.
That person was Chen Tianlong.
Chen Tianlong was the first boy to kiss her and also the one who made her heart flutter unexpectedly. So, it’s no surprise that he would come to mind at such times.
Watching two chirping little birds flitting outside the window, Shen Yan smiled sweetly, then slowly closed her eyes and began to rest.
"Ding ding ding....."
Suddenly, the door to Shen Yan’s office rang. She woke up from her serene daydream, her voice hurried as she said, "Come in!"
"Creak..."
The door opened, and a familiar face appeared in Shen Yan’s view. It was Chen Tianlong. With exams approaching, Chen Tianlong wanted to help Lin Wushuang with some notes, but there were a few English questions he couldn’t quite figure out, so he thought of Shen Yan.
"Teacher, it’s me!" Chen Tianlong said with a slight smile.
"Ah? Chen... Chen Tianlong." Shen Yan was slightly incredulous. She had just been thinking about him, and now he suddenly appeared. Was she dreaming?
Yes, it must be a dream.
After contemplating for a moment, Shen Yan concluded it was a dream and laid her head back down to sleep. At this, Chen Tianlong was bewildered, thinking Shen Yan might have a fever.
So, Chen Tianlong quickly walked over, touched Shen Yan’s forehead, then touched his own, and felt there was nothing wrong. But seeing that Shen Yan went back to sleep despite his presence, it really seemed odd.
Thinking this, Chen Tianlong didn’t hold back. He assisted her upright. As a doctor, he felt he had to check on her since the "patient" was right here.
However, when Chen Tianlong turned Shen Yan around, he was suddenly embraced tightly by a soft body. A murmured voice said, "Chen Tianlong, don’t leave me, I..... miss you so much."
