C29 China Martial Arts Hall
She asked me how I felt.
I couldn't help but ask: "I don't know if this boxing is practical in real life, because a lot of traditional martial arts nowadays are about acting."
The receptionist smiled and pointed at the wall.
There were many pictures on the wall. She was referring to a picture. The photograph of the middle-aged coach and a middle-aged man in uniform.
"Two years ago, Coach Huang met two robbers on the road who wanted to steal a woman's bag. So she rushed up to help. She knocked both of them down in three moves. This was a photo of him and the captain of the criminal police team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau after the incident."
I stared at the photo for a while, nodded, and asked, "Then how do I charge?"
"Adults are 5,300 a year. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday night, classes start at 7 p.m., until 9 p.m., two hours."
"Are there any other registered adults?"
"Yes, there are forty or fifty of them."
I thought the price was a bit high, so I tried to bargain with her. The female receptionist couldn't do anything about it. At the critical moment, the old man who was present just now came out.
The female receptionist quickly called Old Huang.
Old Huang smiled and asked, "Xiaomei, what is it?"
The female receptionist called Xiaomei explained, "This mister wants to sign up, but he thinks the price is a bit high."
Elder Huang's gaze lands on me and he smiles amiably. "I'm sorry, young man. We can't bargain here. If you can introduce a friend to come over, I can give you a little discount."
Coach Huang had just taught the students how to act and act. I am already somewhat moved by their imposing manner. I just want to bargain out of habit. Seeing that they are still not going to come down, I decided not to bicker and immediately paid the money.
The female receptionist was in charge of collecting the money. Elder Huang asked with a smile: "Young man, why did you come here to learn martial arts?"
"Strengthen your body." I said. In fact, I have another thought in my mind. I want to protect myself. I don't want to be like those gangsters who beat me up last time. I don't have any strength to fight back at all.
Elder Huang smiled and nodded. After chatting for a while, he left.
Because it's Tuesday today, Xiaomei told me that she would be coming over at 7 p.m. tonight to learn martial arts with a group of new students.
At seven o'clock in the evening, I arrived at the arts academy on time.
There were more than ten adults studying with me, and one of them was a girl.
The girl had a ponytail. She was tall and pretty, and she wore black sportswear.
Coach Huang hadn't arrived yet, so she took the initiative to hit on me and asked with a smile, "Are you new?"
I nodded.
The girl laughed: "We just learned a few classes, now we have some basic movements on our feet"
The girl looked pretty when she laughed. I thanked her.
The girl smiled and said, "My name is Lyi Zimo. What is your name?"
"My name is Zhong Hao."
"Nice to meet you." Lyi Zimo said with a smile.
Coach Huang walked in as she was talking.
"Coach Huang is extremely fierce. You must listen carefully and learn seriously." Lyi Zimo said this in a low voice and immediately shut her mouth.
Indeed as Lyi Zimo said, Coach Huang faced everyone with a cold expression and did not smile at all.
"I heard that there is a new student. Please stand out." Coach Huang said.
Everyone's eyes were focused on me. I felt a little embarrassed but still stood out.
"Come to the front and let me introduce you to everyone."
I was a little helpless, so I could only go forward and introduce myself.
Coach Huang started to teach us martial arts.
Because I am new here, he explained the basic movements again and then taught us one move after another.
At this time, Old Huang stood beside us again. If he saw that our actions were wrong, he would correct it.
After practicing for an hour, I am so tired that I am sweating all over.
Coach Huang let everyone rest for a few minutes. Old Huang smiled and asked me, "Young man, it seems that you don't practice often."
I nodded my head in embarrassment.
"In our line of practice, we first need to build a solid foundation and strengthen our bodies. This way, our punches and kicks will be strong. In this way, every morning in the future, you will run ten kilometers, do a hundred pushups and sit-ups, and then you will learn the moves you learned every day. Do you understand? "
"You practiced so much?" I felt a little guilty when I heard that.
Elder Huang frowned slightly. "You can't even endure this bit of hardship. Why are you still learning martial arts?"
I repeatedly said yes and asked, "May I ask if you are Coach Huang's?"
"I am his father." Old Huang bluntly said, "Our family has opened the arts academy for generations. When we come to my place, we are the worst. However, my son is willing to suffer, and the arts academy that we opened has gradually improved."
"Hello, Elder Huang." While they were chatting, Lyi Zimo came back from the toilet and greeted Old Huang with a smile.
Old Huang nodded with a smile and asked, "Is your grandfather well?"
"Thanks to you, he is quite healthy."
"That's good." Elder Huang stood up with a smile and said, "You guys can chat."
Elder Huang left and I asked, "You know Elder Huang?"
"When my grandfather had yet to retire, Elder Huang helped my grandfather." Lyi Zimo smiled and asked, "By the way, what do you do?"
"I'm just a landlord. I didn't do anything." I smiled in embarrassment.
"If I can be a landlord, my family's living conditions aren't bad, right?"
"It's normal, right? What about you?" "How about you?" Wang Yao asked.
"Hehe, I'm a lawyer." Lyi Zimo took out a business card and handed it to me with a smile. "This is my business card. If you need me for any trouble in the future, you can call me anytime."
I looked at the business card. On it was a world-famous firm. Below it was her name, contact number, and address.
I nodded and put away the business card.
After learning for another hour, the first day finally ended.
When I returned home at night, I did not tell Loo Xintong about this matter.
I want to quietly change and let Loo Xintong discover my own changes. This will give me a sense of satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.
In the next week, other than going to the designated time to learn martial arts, I would also follow Old Huang's requirements to get up and run in the morning, practice boxing, do pushups and do sit-ups.
The first few days were very hard and I have a feeling of wanting to die. But gradually, after I get used to it, I don't feel so painful anymore.
On Saturday afternoon, I was about to go to the vegetable market to buy groceries. When I opened the door, I saw Chen Yiyao rushing out of her house. Her face was still covered with tears. She ran out from beside me with her head down and did not even look up at me. She looked very sad and there were a few red marks on her face, as if she had been slapped.
Immediately after, Yu Hongyi also rushed out and shouted, "Yiyao, Yiyao, I was wrong. Don't go, listen to me explain..."
When he saw me, his footsteps paused for a moment and he nodded his head as a greeting. He could not wait to chase after Chen Yiyao.
Did the husband and wife quarrel? Could it be that the red mark on Chen Yiyao's face was hit by Yu Hongyi?
What happened between them?
Even though I have decided to give up on my feelings for Chen Yiyao, I still can't bear to see Chen Yiyao crying and running. Out of curiosity and concern, I still quickly followed.
