Martial Arts Master

The night lights were dim and the roads were moving. Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke fell silent and walked side by side towards the hotel door.

"My brother must have awakened his powers randomly and was scolded by his grandfather..." Yan Zheke said in a slightly ethereal voice as they walked.

Lou Cheng sighed: "He paid a lot... Anyway, he won the championship and his wish was fulfilled. There is no need to compete with your grandpa anymore."

As a person who has fully experienced high school, he actually has no shortage of experience in the sadness of separation, but at that time, his mind and outlook were far from mature. He was full of longing for the future and felt that seeing each other again would be a common thing. The feeling is rather vague and not deep enough.

And now, the more I understand, the more I know, the more I cherish the days when we all worked hard together, endured hardships together, and overcome obstacles together. I understand that once things end for some people, they may not have a future, so I feel sad. Coming from it, it cannot be contained.

Fortunately, fortunately, Lin Que is his uncle and will enter the professional game in the future. We will meet frequently, but it will be difficult to cooperate sincerely for the same goal and share the joys and sorrows like in the previous two years. .

"Yeah, but I'm still so melancholy..." Yan Zheke pursed his lips, looking aggrieved.

Lou Cheng was about to add a few words when he suddenly saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law walking out of the revolving door. He straightened his back and cleared his throat in a low voice.

However, he held the girl's hand without letting go at all, as if to express something.

"Dad, Mom..." Yan Zheke shouted twice, his cheeks quickly turned red, but his right hand stubbornly did not retract.

"Uncle Yan, Aunt Ji." Lou Cheng shouted, without feeling at a loss.

Yan Kai glanced at their clasped hands, nodded slightly and responded to Lou Cheng's greeting:

"good."

He opened and closed his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak again.

Ji Mingyu chuckled and said: "Xiaolou, how is your injury? Is everything okay? Your performance in tonight's game was really good, and I was shocked again."

"Auntie praised me. The injury is not a big deal. It will be fine in a few weeks." Lou Cheng answered honestly without showing any eloquence or humor.

"That's right, take good care of yourself, Keke. Let's sleep with mom tonight. Let's have a good chat and let your dad sleep on the sofa outside." Ji Mingyu looked at her daughter with a smile.

"Yes." Yan Zheke nodded slightly, looked sideways at Lou Cheng and said, "I'm going to my parents' place first..."

She paused, pursed her lips, tilted her head slightly and smiled: "See you tomorrow~"

"See you tomorrow!" Lou Cheng responded with a smile and waved to Yan Kai and Ji Mingyu, "Uncle, aunt, goodbye."

"See you tomorrow." Ji Mingyu chuckled and repeated her daughter's words, while Yan Kai nodded gracefully.

Watching the family of three leave, Lou Cheng sighed secretly. The atmosphere when meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law was indeed rather awkward and subtle. Having experienced big scenes, he was quite reserved.

I don’t know if a strong man like Mou Wang can still act with ease when facing his father-in-law and mother-in-law...

In his wild thoughts, Lou Cheng returned to his room and turned on the light.

On the right side was the big bed that he hadn't slept in for many days, and on the left were items scattered in a mess. Lou Cheng suddenly felt like he had returned to his lonely home after a business trip for several months. The room was bright, full of thoughts, and strange to the eye.

Is this the night after winning the championship? Am I the only one left? Lou Cheng sighed, without changing his shoes, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Outside, there were tall buildings, thousands of lights, and the stars were in the world, which was both prosperous and deserted.

After staring blankly for a while, Lou Cheng suddenly felt the vibration of his phone. He quickly took it out and saw the message from Yan Zheke.

"I'm chatting with my parents, and they all have a very good impression of you." Ke Xiaoke said with a shy smile.

The corners of Lou Cheng's mouth suddenly turned up, and the sadness he felt just now disappeared without a trace. He replied with a "bad smile":

"So, can we get married?"

"Pfft, what a beautiful idea! The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard~!" Yan Zheke said, "clenching his fist and banging his head."

Lou Cheng laughed, raised his hand and glanced at the promise ring, then looked outside again.

This time, he only felt that the lights in the night revealed a light and meaningful warmth, lighting up the way home for late passers-by.

…………

The next day, Lou Cheng, who won the national championship, still got up early and did not relax or be lazy.

His arm was injured, making it difficult to practice many moves. He could only focus on internal training, footwork and leg skills, turning the wind in the morning light, whistling as he wished.

At 7:40, Lou Cheng ended his usual exercise, returned to the hotel, and washed his body with difficulty.

At this time, he was completely free and suddenly felt something. He felt that the experience of winning the national championship last night was still so unreal, still so dreamy. If it weren't for the gold medal lying next to him, I wouldn't be able to believe it.

"It's only been less than a day, why do you want to reminisce about it..." Lou Cheng shook his head and laughed. He followed the throbbing in his heart, took the card, left the room, and prepared to take a taxi to the Imperial City Martial Arts Stadium.

There was nothing going on along the way. The tall buildings on both sides were receding. The similar scenery was the same in every city. Lou Cheng was in a leisurely mood, watching with interest, and occasionally chatting with Yan Zheke.

Unconsciously, he arrived at his destination. He took out a pair of plain glasses, put them on, put his hands in his pockets, and strolled towards the gate of the martial arts venue.

In the surrounding square, the crowds of people who entered and left last night have long disappeared, and even the ground has become clean, with no trace of the previous one left.

After passing several men and women who came to open the shop door, Lou Cheng's mood became very good for some reason. Even the outline of the bricks under his feet felt quite pleasing to the eye.

The door of the venue has been reopened, and it is empty and sparsely populated. There are still promotional posters of his and Peng Leyun's "confrontation" on the walls on both sides.

With a slight smile, Lou Cheng put his pockets in his pockets and walked step by step to the vicinity of the ring. He found a seat and sat down. He looked softly at the place where the battle took place last night and the two children fighting there with "hey hey haha".

Their moves are quite satisfactory, but their bodies are not yet developed, their strength is insufficient, their steps are frivolous, and they have no real power. Moreover, they imitate TV movies and shout out every move they make, making the fight lively and energetic.

"Hey! Be careful!"

"Don't hurt yourself!"

Several parents kept reminding him until the coach drove him to the stands.

Noticing that Lou Cheng was looking at the ring with a smile, an outgoing parent chuckled and said, "The child has to learn martial arts. We have no choice but to accompany him when we have time."

Lou Cheng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Practice martial arts is a good thing."

With that said, he stood up calmly and added: "Moderate exercise is helpful for development, but if it is not done properly, it will hinder development."

"Ah..." The parents looked at each other in confusion.

Lou Cheng didn't say anything more, put his pockets in his pockets and walked towards the door. When he was about to go out, he looked back and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar arena.

Vaguely, he seemed to see Lin Que lifting the trophy from the perspective of a bystander, saw himself shouting to the sky, and saw Yan Zheke running towards the ring...

The corners of his mouth curled up, he turned around and left here.

…………

Outside the venue, Lou Cheng took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the entrance and sent it to Yan Zheke.

"Eh... martial arts venue!" Yan Zheke was surprised at first, and then said angrily, "You don't even want to take me with you!"

"Let's get together next time!" Lou Cheng said with a silly smile, "It's just a sudden whim."

Yan Zheke covered her mouth and said with a smile: "My silly Chengzi still has such a rough side!"

After saying this, she added another sentence: "The Queen Mother asked you to come for lunch at noon. The address is..."

Lou Cheng's leisurely aftertaste faded and he quickly asked: "Do you want to buy tobacco, alcohol, and fruit? It seems like you need to bring these things with you when you visit the house for the first time..."

"No need..." Yan Zheke had a question mark on his head, "It's not a formal visit, just a meal together, and we are still students."

"But this is my first time meeting my parents, my father-in-law and my mother-in-law. I have to show my respect." Lou Cheng said, "touching his chin with his hand."

People do not blame!

"I have no experience. I, let me ask the Queen Mother!" Yan Zheke hesitated for a moment and decided to ask someone with experience.

Lou Cheng "snickered" and said, "The Queen Mother probably doesn't understand either. Your father only came to visit you for the first time several years after you were born."

"It doesn't matter~ Anyway, the point is my father and my mother. If they think it's okay, then it's okay~!" Yan Zheke paused for a while and said, "The Queen Mother said you don't need to bring anything, so you can relax and don't be too rigid."

"Okay... should I come here shamelessly?" Lou Cheng asked.

Yan Zheke's eyes were rolling and he said: "Don't worry, go back and change your clothes first. Wear, wear that dark shirt, and, and..."

Seeing her rambling instructions, Lou Cheng suddenly laughed and said, "Keke, are you a little nervous?"

"Aren't I worried that you stupid kid doesn't know what to do?" Yan Zheke "rolled his eyes."

"Hehe." Lou Cheng didn't expose her, and replied with a "raised hand in salute", "Everything will follow Coach Yan's instructions!"

Because she cares about herself and the future of the two of them, Ke Ke becomes nervous and anxious...

Well, me too...

When he returned to the hotel, he took out his clothes and put them on one by one according to Yan Zheke's instructions. Then he called a car and prepared to go there.

Going down to the lobby, he met Li Maoli, Xiaowen and others who were laughing and having fun, and felt their happy mood.

After waving goodbye, Lou Cheng stood at the door and waited for the car to arrive. The sun was shining brightly and the sky and earth were bright.
