Looking in the direction ng Lang had pointed, one could indeed see the sign for "Liang Shanbo" across the street, seemingly a venue of substantial size that had recently opened.
"Brother ng, can we go in together and have a look?"
"Uh..." ng Lang hesitated for a mont. "You want to go into the boxing gym?"
"Yeah, hehe! I’m quite a fan of kickboxing; I used to sneak out to watch matches abroad without my dad knowing!
I even thought about signing up for Sanda before, but neither of my parents supported it..."
ng Lang’s gaze suddenly turned strange.
This girl looked so gentle and quiet, yet she enjoyed such thrilling competitive sports, truly a reminder not to judge a book by its cover.
He looked again at Zheng Wan who was sowhat slender and frail, and shook his head internally.
Her status in future family dynamics seed worriso...
Zheng Wan, on the other hand, didn’t think as much as ng Lang. She just found the girl in front of her so straightforward and adorable, standing out from the rest...
Oh... she was falling even deeper!
"Sure, that boxing gym is owned by a friend of mine, taking you guys for a tour should be no problem."
"That’s aweso!"
"Let’s go!" ng Lang smiled and led the way to the nearby sidewalk.
"Brother ng, are you going to practice so boxing?" Tang Xiaoqi caught up on her bike.
She eyed ng Lang up and down; although he was proportionate and not frail, he did not appear to have much muscle from regular exercise.
"Oh, no, just eting a friend."
"eting a friend with a dical kit? What for?"
"Going to visit a patient."
"So Brother ng, you are a doctor?"
"Hmm... consider it a side job."
"A side job? What’s your main job then?"
"Saving humanity, maintaining world peace, of course."
"Pfft! Brother ng, you have quite a sense of humor."
"Actually, I am generally pretty serious when I talk."
"Hahaha... oh stop it, the light’s about to turn red. We need to hurry!"
Watching Tang Xiaoqi furiously pedaling to beat the green light, ng Lang chuckled and shook his head.
Seeing that the pedestrian light across the street had already started blinking, he decisively stopped walking.
Beat the green light? Out of the question!
Better to stop for three minutes than risk a second!
Safety first, deeply ingrained in ng Xiaolang’s soul...
"Hmm?" He suddenly sensed sothing unusual behind him.
Turning around, he caught Zheng Wan pushing his bike while looking at him with a pitiful expression.
Finding it amusing, he couldn’t help but sniff amusingly.
"Wow! Where does this strong sour sll co from? Are you seeing everyone as a romantic rival now?"
Zheng Wan, having his thoughts exposed, couldn’t help but blush.
"Brother ng, what are you talking about! I don’t..."
Cautiously looking forward to see Tang Xiaoqi already across the street, out of earshot, he relaxed slightly.
"Alright, alright, no need to pretend, you like her, don’t you?"
"No... not really..." Zheng Wan’s voice grew weaker, and after a mont, he awkwardly scratched his head.
"I... I don’t know what happened, but the mont I saw the senior..."
"Understood! Head overheats, tossing everything else to the back of your mind, right?"
"Exactly! That’s it!"
Watching the young boy’s innocent face and shy smile, ng Lang couldn’t help but curl his lips.
Ha! The sour stench of love...
"And after your head overheats? Have you thought about the more distant future?"
"Future? What future?" Zheng Wan looked puzzled.
"I just heard you guys talking, and that girl hasn’t decided whether to stay in the country or not. What if she decides to stay abroad?
Even if she stays here, do you think your personalities match? Will she accept you?
She seems to be older than you, right? Are you sure she would like soone younger?
Will you have graduated from your bachelor’s degree by the ti she finishes her master’s?
When she steps into society and starts working, you might still be lingering in the ivory tower of the library.
Many people break up after graduation; your graduations aren’t even synchronized—how can this relationship last? How long can it last?
Have you considered all these questions?"
"I..." Zheng Wan was stumped by ng Lang’s barrage of questions.
Recently love-struck, he naturally hadn’t thought that far ahead.
He couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
Indeed, others were almost graduating from graduate studies, and he was still an undergraduate.
The other person was a warm and extroverted sunny girl, while he was an introverted and self-doubting troubled youth.
She would soon possibly fly to a foreign land, while he seed only able to wait in place...
The gap in age, the distance in space, the differences in personality...
Thinking of these, the sowhat discouraged youth suddenly looked gloomy.
Is this... what adults need to consider in the world?
For the first ti, he experienced the troubles that "maturity" brought...
"The light’s green now, hurry up and co over!"
Just then, the girl’s crisp call awakened the troubled youth from his thoughts.
Seeing that touch of brilliant pink across the street, the world in Zheng Wan’s eyes seed to change from monochro back to colorful, and his eyes sparkled anew.
"Yes, perhaps I will face so many difficulties, and perhaps I ultimately won’t be able to reach her side...
Just like you said, Brother ng, beyond the distance there is nothing but loneliness, even lonelier further away!
But... so what?
From the mont I turned around on the balcony, I no longer wanted to evade!
I am willing! Willing to be a Lonely Brave charging for love!"
"Uh..." ng Lang looked at Zheng Wan sowhat surprised.
Was this still the sowhat timid youth from not long ago?
For a mont, he didn’t know whether to feel relieved or depressed.
Relieved because his previous pep talks were significantly effective.
Depressed because his poison chicken soup from here on might not be swallowed so easily...
"Brother ng! Thank you!"
"Huh?"
Seeing Zheng Wan’s serious face thanking him, ng Lang was puzzled.
Thank for what?
Thank for wanting to pass you a trainload of burdens so you too could bear the weight of love?
"I understand, you think my personality is too weak, and you worry that I might handle emotional setbacks extrely, so you purposefully gave these preventative injections ahead of ti.
Brother ng! Thank you! Thank you for your thoughtful kindness!"
ng Lang: "..."
Can I say, I was rely feeling a bit of societal spite and wanted a mild revenge?
...
"What are you guys talking about? We almost missed the green light again!" Tang Xiaoqi looked sowhat displeased at them.
"It’s nothing, Brother ng shared so life experiences with , which were very enlightening." Zheng Wan gratefully said.
ng Lang waved his hands weakly.
"Yes, yes, yes! These life experiences are indeed crucial; you must understand them well."
Having said so, he walked up and slowly pushed open the door of the boxing gym...
"Creak~"
As the door slowly opened, revealing the scene inside...
The next mont, Tang Xiaoqi and Zheng Wan’s eyes gradually widened, and their mouths gradually turned into O shapes...
Inside the boxing gym, dozens of burly n with fierce expressions, many holding clubs, surrounded a few other n. The atmosphere was tense, filled with the sll of gunpowder.
Zheng Wan just glanced once and couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
Goodness, most of the burly n in the room had tattoos, several of the n’s muscular bodies were intimidating, clearly not characters of good repute.
They... hadn’t they stumbled into so gangland deal...
Seeing them, the people inside also noticed the noise at the door and simultaneously turned their gazes over.
The oppressive sensation imdiately struck their faces, causing Zheng Wan’s legs to start trembling again...
Though frightened, he instinctively shielded Tang Xiaoqi.
Just about to shout "Senior, run," the next mont...
"Hello, Brother Xiao ng!"
Zheng Wan: "(⊙o⊙)"
Tang Xiaoqi: "(⊙o⊙)"
Stunned, they watched as the dozens of nacing, fierce big n uniformly greeted them respectfully. Zheng Wan was completely flabbergasted.
He stiffly turned his head, looking towards an unconcerned "Brother ng"...
Real · Big Brother?
[Even though I walk alone, I carry an army of a hundred thousand behind ...]
He hadn’t quite understood before, but now he did...
Was this literally what it ant?!
