Chapter 6: Mr. Gu’s Tragic “Sparring History” 02
The exam week was over, and Su Jingjing officially began her long-awaited college vacation. She had a dream since she was a child, which was to enjoy a vacation without homework, and such a vacation finally came true after she entered college.
Amy would come to the Su family martial arts gym to practice when she had nothing to do. She would be surrounded by her fellow martial artists every time and needed Su Jingjing's help to escape from the sea of suffering. Amy was very talented and it didn't take long for her to be able to fight Su Jingjing for a few moves. Although she would definitely lose after two moves, it was already a good improvement.
Su Jingjing immersed herself in training and working every day, trying to forget things that should be forgotten, but in the middle of the night, she realized that many things were beyond her control. After the final exam, she never saw Gu Rong again. Gu Rong would always come to see her, but she always avoided him. She was afraid that her heart would revive, so she could only find the most clichéd way to escape.
It had snowed a few days ago, and the Su family's courtyard was covered with white snow. The brothers finally cleared the snow in the courtyard, and everyone went to the courtyard to continue practicing. Amy and Su Jingjing also went out lightly and practiced in the yard.
"Come here, let me introduce you to a new person." Father Su suddenly walked in from outside, with someone behind him.
Seeing this, all the brothers gathered together and stood in front of Su's father, each of them ready for battle. Su Jingjing and Amy stood at the end of the team, also standing straight with their hands behind their backs.
"This is the new apprentice who joined our martial arts school." Father Su introduced.
The man walked out from behind Su's father. He was so handsome that all the senior brothers present sneered at him, but his face made Su Jingjing and Amy scream out.
"why you?"
Father Su looked at Su Jingjing with a rare friendly expression: "Why, Jingjing, do you know him?"
"He is a classmate from the class next to ours." Su Jingjing answered with surprise.
"Really? Why didn't you tell me that?" Father Su asked, tilting his head.
Han Ran smiled slightly, and his every move revealed an elegant temperament: "I didn't know there was such a coincidence in the world."
"You don't even draft your lies." Amy curled her lips and said disdainfully.
"Since you are in the same school as Jingjing and Amy, that's even better." Father Su turned around and said to his fellow disciples, "The annual martial arts competition is about to begin. You must practice well and don't bring shame to our Su family martial arts school. Do you understand?"
"I know!" everyone shouted with great enthusiasm.
"Keep practicing." Father Su said with satisfaction, and then whispered to Han Ran behind him.
"Jingjing, what is the martial arts championship?" Amy asked Su Jingjing beside her in confusion.
Su Jingjing and Amy walked and talked: "The martial arts competition is the most important competition in our circle. Our Su family martial arts school has been the leader for three consecutive years. All the martial arts schools are coveting our status."
"So amazing!" Amy felt that she was a little ignorant.
Su Jingjing nodded and continued, "The competition requires each martial arts school to select ten masters to compete one by one. The one who remains at the end will be the champion."
"Are you going to participate in the competition too?" Amy asked.
Su Jingjing nodded shyly.
Amy exclaimed in admiration, then put her arm around Su Jingjing's shoulders and sighed, "I want to participate in the competition, too!"
"With your skills, how can you participate in the competition?" Han Ran, who appeared out of nowhere, said sarcastically.
Amy glared at Han Ran and retorted, "Why are you everywhere?"
"Han Ran, Amy came earlier than you. Logically speaking, she is your senior sister." The second senior brother Bai Hai interrupted.
Amy suddenly smiled, looked at Han Ran with a sly smile and said, "Come on, call me Senior Sister."
"You!" Seeing this, Han Ran could only turn his gaze to Su Jingjing for help, "Jingjing..."
Su Jingjing looked at Han Ran seriously and said, "Han Ran, I am actually your senior sister too."
"ah……"
"Hurry up and call." Amy said aggressively, "Otherwise we will report it to Master Su. The Su family martial arts school will not accept people who don't respect their teachers."
Han Ran gritted his teeth in anger, but could only whisper vaguely: "Senior Sister..."
"What did you say?" Amy put her hands to her ears. "I can't hear you!"
Su Jingjing couldn't stop laughing beside her.
"Senior Sister!" Han Ran's eyes were blazing with fire, and he shouted with all his might.
"That's good." Amy nodded contentedly. "Practice well in the future. Senior Sister won't treat you unfairly. Go and move the equipment over there."
"...Yes." Han Ran said with a suppressed voice.
Su Jingjing quietly pulled Amy over and asked, "Why are you bullying him like this?"
"Bullying him?" Amy refused to admit it. "I'm training him. Why don't you understand my painstaking efforts?"
"I understand, I understand." Su Jingjing said, trying hard to suppress her smile.
Amy turned around and looked at Han Ran, who was sweating profusely while moving the equipment. She quickly ran over and shouted, "Hurry up, Junior Brother, your Senior Sister is waiting for training. You are a grown man, how can you be so tired just by moving such a small thing?"
Han Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, feeling that he was simply a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. However, in order to win Su Jingjing's favor as soon as possible, he had to swallow his anger. After all, this was simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Jingjing, there are two movies that have received very good reviews recently. Let's go and watch them together." Han Ran came up to Su Jingjing and said with a smile.
Although Su Jingjing didn't want to pay attention to Gu Rong, it didn't mean that she could accept Han Ran. She looked at him awkwardly and said hesitantly: "I... don't like watching movies very much."
"Movies are like some people. The more you watch them, the more you like them." Han Ran said meaningfully.
Amy jumped out with a sandbag in her hand and said with a pout, "I'm afraid some people are like bad movies. The more you watch them, the more you want to—vomit!"
"you!"
"What do you mean, have you finished your work? You still want me, your senior sister, to help you clean up. Here, get to work quickly and don't be lazy, otherwise you won't get any food!" Amy scolded Han Ran righteously.
Han Ran tried his best to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor in front of Su Jingjing. He could only suppress his anger and run to the side to continue doing labor.
Although it was the coldest time of the year, the atmosphere in the Su family was more like the height of summer. The whole family got up early and went to bed late every day, and practiced harder. As the best performer in the past three years, Su Jingjing was even more expected. However, this year was different from the past, and Su Jingjing had difficulty in practicing.
The eldest brother had just recovered from an injury a few days ago, and in order to accompany Su Jingjing in practice, he sprained his ankle again, and it was impossible for him to practice with Su Jingjing anymore. However, apart from the eldest brother, no one in the Su family was willing to be Su Jingjing's "human sandbag". Seeing that the other brothers were practicing in full swing, Su Jingjing could only pound the wooden stakes in frustration.
Su Jingjing has always avoided Gu Rong. But Gu Rong knows that although Amy hates him, she hates Han Ran more, so under his strong material temptation, he finally bribed Amy to be an insider to help him enter the Su family martial arts hall. Amy always secretly let Gu Rong in, although Su Jingjing never paid attention to him. However, this ignoring was also a good start in Gu Rong's view.
"Jingjing." Gu Rong approached Su Jingjing and said flatteringly, "I bought you your favorite snacks. Do you want to sit down and eat some?"
Su Jingjing turned away indifferently and continued practicing on the wooden stake, completely ignoring the existence of Gu Rong.
"Jingjing, man is made of iron and rice is made of steel, you can't go without food. Don't worry, with your skills, you can win the championship even with your eyes closed. I believe in you!" Gu Rongyong said as he followed behind Su Jingjing.
Amy stood aside and could only sigh that things have changed. In the past, Su Jingjing followed Gu Rong and kept busy, but now she is really a liberated serf singing. The identities of the two people have completely reversed. The former handsome young master Gu has become Su Jingjing's little follower. As Amy was thinking, she felt a shadow jump out from behind her and ran to Su Jingjing's side. Amy rubbed her eyes and took a closer look. It turned out to be the hard laborer Han Ran.
"Jingjing, ever since Senior Brother was injured, you haven't had the opportunity to practice actual combat, which is not conducive to your progress. How about I be your practice partner?" Han Ran asked politely.
Su Jingjing looked at Han Ran, feeling a little reluctant: "No, I'm afraid of hurting you."
"It's okay, I can hold on." Han Ran said bravely and fearlessly like the five heroes of Langya Mountain.
Gu Rong sneered at the side: "With your small body, you still want to be Jingjing's sparring partner? It's like a pig with a green onion stuck in its nose - pretending to be an elephant (pretending). You are not afraid of getting hurt, but Jingjing is afraid of making a mistake."
"Gu Rong, who allowed you to come in?" Han Ran looked at Gu Rong impatiently and said rudely.
Gu Rong raised his head and replied arrogantly: "What do you care about me? The Su family martial arts school is not the Han family martial arts school." After that, he turned to Su Jingjing and said : "Jingjing, I will be your sparring partner. I am much better than Han Ran, a disabled person."
"I can't compare to you in terms of stupidity." Han Ran said dimly.
Su Jingjing looked at Amy in embarrassment. Amy stepped forward, stood in front of Su Jingjing and said, "I'll give both of you internship opportunities at the same time. Whether you can get a permanent position depends on your personal performance. Do you understand?"
"clear."
"good!"
After Gu Rong and Han Ran nodded in agreement, a new round of fighting began. The two blocked Su Jingjing's way and patted their chests and said, "Jingjing, come on, hit me!"
"No, Jingjing, come and hit me."
"Why should I hit you? Don't you know what kind of person you are? If I beat you to death, will I be held legally responsible?" Gu Rong rushed past Han Ran's obstruction and rushed to Su Jingjing, saying to Han Ran with a sidelong glance and disdain.
Han Ran stomped on Gu Rong's foot and regained his position. He said to Su Jingjing affectionately, "If there is only one way to die, I am willing to die in Jingjing's hands."
"If there is only one way to die, you must die of disgust." Gu Rong kicked Han Ran in the butt, grabbed Su Jingjing's arm, and looked at Han Ran with disgust.
"Enough!" Su Jingjing couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she said, "Come over here and fight me together. Whoever can't stand it first will be eliminated first."
"Okay!" Gu Rong and Han Ran said in unison, which was rare .
The brothers who were originally training together stopped and stood aside to watch this unique training. Because they had never seen someone so enthusiastic as a sparring partner. Most of them grew up with Su Jingjing, and of course they knew Su Jingjing's skills. Su Jingjing had been with her father since she was a child. She was very talented and had received a lot of guidance from her father. Her kung fu was much better than theirs. These grown men were no match for Su Jingjing, a skinny girl. These two frail young masters were actually vying to be Su Jingjing's sparring partner.
"ah--"
Su Jingjing kicked Gu Rong, who was standing upright, to the ground.
"ah--"
Su Jingjing knocked down the frail Han Ran with one punch.
All the brothers turned their heads away, as if they couldn't bear to watch this inhumane training any longer.
