Chapter 81: Chapter 80: Grinding Her Temper (2/10)
In Chen Lingyun’s room.
“Does my usual sparring practice with Zhao Yuanzhen look brutal and savage?” Yan Yu complained.
“Not at all.” Chen Lingyun, rotating the handle of the coffee grinder, smiled and said, “If we ignore the fact that you use training as an excuse to deliberately knock her on the head, kick her butt, and run her ragged, your training style is actually quite gentle, right? At least it doesn’t result in bloodshed or injuries.”
“Her stubborn nature is obvious.” Yan Yu argued without justification, “If I don’t toughen up her temperant, how can the special training be effective?”
Empress Yuanzhen, with that one “demonic” character, do you think it was casually given by the dia from a previous life?
“Yes, yes, yes.” After Chen Lingyun finished grinding, she carefully poured the grounds into the filter cup, then picked up the gooseneck kettle next to her and leisurely started pouring water in a circular motion.
“Done.” Following so incomprehensible procedures, she placed the coffee cup in front of Yan Yu and elegantly smiled, “Please enjoy.”
Yan Yu took a sip, smacking his lips as he savored it for a mont, and said:
“My assessnt is, it’s not as good as Nescafe’s instant coffee.”
“It’s normal to have different tastes.” Chen Lingyun was all smiles, her eyes seeming to say, “Look at this country bumpkin.”
“I can understand liking hand-poured coffee.” Yan Yu turned his head to look at the vinyl record player by the window, “Could the sound quality of records be better than professional audio equipnt?”
“Just think of it as decoration.” Chen Lingyun’s smile remained.
“I know what you’re thinking,” Yan Yu said leisurely, “You’re thinking, ‘This country bumpkin, obviously not understanding high art, yet still dares to criticize, how annoying’.”
“You guessed wrong~” Chen Lingyun paused for a mont, her smile even brighter and sweeter, “What I’m thinking now is, even though our tastes are completely different, we can still accommodate each other. Such emotions are truly sincere and worth cherishing, don’t you think?”
Hmph, cunning woman with her sweet words and nurous tricks!
Yan Yu didn’t fall for her bait but smoothly changed the subject:
“What have you considered for the next step of the training plan?”
“Do you have any suggestions?” Chen Lingyun asked him in return.
“How about this.” Yan Yu pondered for a while, “Since both Lin Ning and Zhao Yuanzhen are sparring partners, why don’t you join us too? Focus on improving real combat experience first.”
“As for reaction speed, you’ll have to find your own way to slowly train, like playing Whac-A-Mole, Temple Run, or sothing.”
“I can do that.” Chen Lingyun said with a smile, “Then I’ll give it a try.”
“I should get going.” Yan Yu stood up, bidding farewell, “I need to buy a bottle of iced black tea to rinse my mouth.”
“There’s another thing.” Chen Lingyun picked up the filter cup, examining the residue left inside.
“What is it?”
“My dad wants to et you.”
Yan Yu hesitated for a mont: “But I don’t want to et him.”
“I figured.” Chen Lingyun put down the filter cup, looked back with a pure and flawless smile, markedly different from her usual brilliant fake smile, “That’s why I turned him down for you.”
“Uh, thanks?” Yan Yu ventured to ask.
“You’re welco.” Chen Lingyun said cheerfully, picking up the filter cup and grinder, and went to wash them on the balcony.
Yan Yu watched her back, hesitating for a mont.
Here it cos again.
This annoying feeling, as if she has sothing to say to you, but you can’t just ask her, because she would never admit it.
Putting it more artistically, it’s like the sunlight passing through a carved window, casting golden butterfly shadows on the floor tiles. It seems like you could catch them if you just reached out, but deep down you know it’s an illusion; no matter how many tis you try, it’s futile.
Yan Yu exhaled a long breath of turbid air.
Forget it.
Having lived two lifetis, I should have learned to let go by now.
“Then I’m off, okay?” he called out one last ti.
There was no response from the balcony, only the sound of running water.
Yan Yu had no expectations of receiving an answer and without hesitation, turned around and left.
————————
So where exactly is the Demonic Sect Enchantress?
I’m really seething inside, I should go find that enchantress to vent my anger!
On his way to the school gate, Yan Yu saw Zhao Yuanzhen returning from outside the school, holding a plastic bag.
Outside the school gate, two young n, wearing earrings and styled with curly hair, were all smiles as they stopped her and said sothing, seemingly hitting on her for friendship.
Yan Yu was terrified, his soul nearly flying out of his body. Of all people to hit on, they chose to approach Empress Yuanzhen!
Zhao Yuanzhen forced a reluctant, impatient smile, as if swatting away flies, continuously waving her hands. With the school security also glancing over, the two young n, though slightly annoyed, sheepishly put away their phones and turned to leave.
“What happened?” Yan Yu hurried to her side and repeatedly said, “Don’t get impulsive, there’s no need to take ordinary mortals too seriously… Rember that guy with the surna i!”
“What are you doing!” Zhao Yuanzhen was startled by the ntion of that na and then inexplicably said, “What do I have to be impulsive about?”
“Weren’t those guys hitting on you?” Yan Yu was taken aback, then realized he might have misunderstood.
“No,” Zhao Yuanzhen replied, “They were advertising a gym, asking to add their official QR code.”
Yan Yu: ………
Gym salesn… why would gym salesn approach a girl? Shouldn’t they target those muscle-loving, testosterone-filled guys? Not even understanding your own target audience, no wonder you guys are going bankrupt and absconding with the money!
Startled by this sudden turn of events and having lost the urge to take his anger out on the Demonic Sect Enchantress, Yan Yu’s gaze fell on the plastic bag in her hand.
“What’s this?”
“Salted duck,” Zhao Yuanzhen lifted the plastic bag, “Want so? I bought too much, I can share half with you.”
Yan Yu looked at her suspiciously.
The mighty Empress Yuanzhen, a murderous enchantress from a previous life, now acting so kindly and offering to share her food with ?
There must be a plot! There’s definitely a plot!
“Did you put poison in this duck?” Yan Yu scoffed.
“Why would I poison it?” Zhao Yuanzhen was baffled, “I still have to eat it myself!”
“Then why did you suddenly think of out of the blue when you bought sothing to eat for yourself?” Yan Yu continued to question her.
“You’re my partner; is it strange that I think of you when I have food?” Zhao Yuanzhen was also angry, biting her silver teeth fiercely, fuming.
Yan Yu, you thief! The deli was having a promotion today, and I bought an extra portion for you to get the discount. Who would have thought I’d be subjected to such suspicion and humiliation!
I’ll rember this grudge, and if I ever catch you off guard in the future, I’ll let you know what it ans to provoke without cause, and what it ans to lose one’s dignity!
Seeing the Demonic Sect Enchantress grinding her teeth in anger, all the irritation that had been swirling in Yan Yu’s head gradually dissipated.
After all, negative emotions don’t resolve themselves, but they can always be transferred to soone else.
“The team is moving on to the next phase of training,” Yan Yu said, leading her towards the inside of the school.
“Oh,” Zhao Yuanzhen sounded distinctly unenthusiastic.
“You’re still going to practice with , right?” Yan Yu observed her expression.
“No problem,” Zhao Yuanzhen replied sarcastically, “Just bully your partner all you want. How else are you going to show off your prowess?”
“Others will be joining us for practical training as well,” Yan Yu continued.
“Huh?” Zhao Yuanzhen was taken aback, “So how do you plan to arrange the combat order?”
“I told Su Yunjin to practice evading attacks,” Yan Yu said, “Between Chen Lingyun and Lin Ning, pick one, and I’ll take the other.”
“Of course, it’s Chen Lingyun,” Zhao Yuanzhen said without hesitation.
Although Lin Ning’s attractiveness was a threat too, Chen Lingyun had openly addressed Yan Yu as “hubby.”
I’ll beat her up first!
