Chapter 344: Chapter 337: Loving Each Other, Part 4
The boxing gym was filled with the smell of sweat. Men and women who came to learn boxing were performing powerful kicks and punches under the coachâs guidance.
Leng Yichen looked at Bai Yiran with a cold face, "This is the place you want to come to?"
"Yes!" Bai Yiran excitedly looked at a woman practicing boxing alone in the corner, her movements were heroic and dashing, exuding charm from her very bones, which made her envious.
Bai Yiran felt her body was too weak. Although she could persist with two hours of night running, in the end, she had no real strength to speak of.
Take this kidnapping incident for example, it was simply too easy for a few men to abduct her. There were always times when othersâ protection would have loopholes; only by being strong herself could she truly protect herself.
Furthermore, Bai Yiran glanced at the boss beside her, who was giving off a cold aura. If she knew some martial arts, perhaps she could fend off this scoundrelâs harassment!
At this moment, if Leng Yichen knew this was one of the reasons Bai Yiran was learning boxing, he might buy all the boxing gyms in the country and close them immediately.
The gym owner saw two strangers entering, both of them dressed impressively. He immediately smiled and walked over, "Are you two here to learn boxing?"
Bai Yiran looked at the gym ownerâs exposed muscles and said with a grin, "Yes, indeed."
"I wonder who is here to learn? Is it you, sir?" The owner directly looked at Leng Yichen.
Leng Yichenâs face darkened, exuding a strong aura that made the gym owner somewhat timid.
"Itâs me!" Bai Yiran was unusually excited, pointing at the woman boxing in the corner, "What kind of boxing is she doing?"
"Muay Thai." The gym owner looked at Bai Yiran with slight surprise. She didnât seem like someone who could learn boxing, standing delicately beside that man like a caged canary.
The gym owner thought thusly, and couldnât help but feel a slight sense of disappointment. Heâd hoped to attract a long-term member, only to find yet another whimsically interested pretty face.
Bai Yiran paid no attention to the gym ownerâs thoughts, her eyes gleaming as she watched that woman, "If I want to learn, how long would it take to become that skilled?"
The owner was speechless but didnât dare to say anything too discouraging to dampen Bai Yiranâs enthusiasm. He just lightly said, "That depends on individual effort and aptitude."
"Oh." Bai Yiran nodded, her eyes fixed on the woman, entirely ignoring the increasingly unpleasant expression on Leng Yichenâs face.
Suddenly, that woman stopped practicing. Bai Yiran thought her intense gaze had displeased the other woman and was about to apologize. But she saw the woman excitedly looking at the nearby ring, so Bai Yiran followed her gaze.
In the boxing ring, two men were sparring. Even standing so far away, Bai Yiran could hear the dull thump of fists and legs hitting flesh. One man in red boxing shorts, with bandaged ankles, was particularly fierce in his punching and kicking. His opponent was no match for him and quickly fell into a disadvantage.
The man suddenly lifted his leg and with one kick, knocked the opponent to the ground.
Applause erupted from below the ring, and Bai Yiran was deeply captivated by the match. At that moment, she was astonished to discover that the man in red boxing shorts was none other than Wu Chengzu!
Leng Yichen recognized the man from the very first glance, and his aura dropped immediately.
At this point, Wu Chengzu also noticed the two standing below the ring. Smiling, he took a towel from someone nearby and wiped his face while walking down from the ring.
"What a coincidence, meeting you here."
"Mr. Wu also knows how to box?" Leng Yichenâs cool voice sounded. "I wonder if you have any interest in going another round?"
