Chapter 63: Being Touched
"Wah wah wah wah!!" Zhou Yun suddenly let out a loud roar, and the Xujian in his memories was startled. Then the young man rushed out like a wild dog off its chain.
"Ah?!" Xǔ Jiàn's reaction was swift, and he chased after him. This bastard must have taken the wrong medicine! How could he go crazy like this?! Seeing that the young man's fingers had turned into claws, Xǔ Jiàn used his toes to think, and he knew what Zhōu Yún was going to do. No matter what, he had to stop him, absolutely couldn't let little sister suffer a loss.
"Xu Xuan, I'm here! Reward me with a touch!" Zhou Yun sprinted forward with unprecedented force, leaving Xu Jian far behind. Just as he was less than five meters away from the beauty, and was about to use his family's secret technique, Double Dragons Emerging from the Sea...
"Stop!" Xu Xuan suddenly stretched out her small hand and blocked Zhou Yun, who was rushing over, from advancing further.
Sudden brake, stop? It seems to be the meaning of stopping. Zhou Yun thought secretly. Did he himself too impulsive, and the goddess didn't make good psychological preparation?
"Good job! Pat pat..." Xu Xuan gave a sweet smile, stretched out her hand and patted him on the head: "Keep it up! Run another lap, pat once."
"...” Later, Xu Jian rushed over and was stunned, Zhou Yun also became stupid. Is something wrong with the situation? Touching is not touching, but being touched. Two big men didn't think about it, how could a girl's body be so easily touched? Even if Xu Xuan agreed, Xu Caiyue would not sit idly by. Now, little Caiyue was drinking soy milk and reading magazines with no care, obviously understanding the subtleties of the situation.
Life is but a dream, empty joy. A bamboo basket scooping water, all in vain. Zhou Yun gazed at Xu Xuan with a pitiful expression, thinking to himself that such good things would indeed not fall into his lap.
"Hehe, don't be discouraged." Xu Xuan slightly raised her head to gaze at the blue sky: "If one day you can tell me the meaning of the sky, I'll consider holding hands with you."
"What is the meaning of the sky?" Zhou Yun also raised his head, a gentle breeze stroked by, the gears of fate were turning like life, tightly linked and interlocking. The root of all natural laws, the starting point of all sequences.
"All! Unique!" Zhou Yun said unknowingly, "The sky is all and unique. Its chaos can contain everything, its existence is one-of-a-kind. It implies a country, symbolizes freedom!"
"Ah..." Xu Xuan was taken aback for a moment, her eyes curiously gazing at Zhou Yun.
How did you guess it so quickly, have you heard it before? But from his thoughtful expression, it doesn't seem like he's pretending. Turning back to look at Xu Caiyue who was silent, she finally understood why her cousin would take a liking to the young man.
He's quite arrogant but makes rapid progress, nervous but clever beyond others. No, it can't be described as cleverness. He has high intuition, but uses it all for petty cleverness. Just like a clever little fool, always making people laugh in spite of themselves. It's quite an interesting feeling, this kid is teachable! Really looking forward to his performance after joining 'Starlight'.
"Did I get it right?" Zhou Yun asked with full confidence. The feeling just now was like when he could manipulate the objects in nature with his spiritual power, very refreshing.
"Ah! That's correct!" Xu Xuan nodded comfortingly. This made Comrade Xiao Yun so excited that she kept waving her hands and shouting: "Xu Xu, I want to hold your hand!"
Xu Xuan didn't agree with him: "Not now, let's talk after we finish running."
There are still 30 minutes until seven o'clock. Zhou Yun has more than 20 laps to go and if he doesn't speed up, today's physical training task won't be completed.
"Oh yeah! I'm going for a run..." Zhou Yun responded with a shout and took off again.
In order to be touched by Xu Xuan for every lap, Zhou Yun sprinted with all his might. Even if he couldn't eat the beauty's tofu, he had to let the beauty eat his own tofu. Not letting go of any opportunity to come into contact with the beauty, this was the kind of performance that Wolf Granny should have.
Zhou Yun continued to practice, and the first few laps were still completed within 1 minute. However, later on, he was out of breath and lacked energy. Fortunately, Xu Xuan was generous, and although Zhou Yun couldn't complete the task within 1 minute, she still patted his head as a reward. The goddess's kindness was the only motivation for the young man to continue running.
At 7:10, Zhou Yun finally finished his physical training, lying on the lawn like a dehydrated carp, panting heavily. Now he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers, and if Xu Xuan hadn't taken pity on him and asked Xu Jian to carry him to school, Zhou Yun would definitely be late today.
Zhou Yun was carried on Xu Jian's shoulder like a dead man, feeling extremely surprised in his heart. How could the gap between the two be so big? Xu Jian ran almost twice as many laps as him...
Xu Jian carried Zhou Yun, who was left with only half his life, and he was equally shocked in his heart. Today, he originally wanted to give Zhou Yun a demotion, set an extraordinary task for him. Planned to fail and severely criticize him, let him understand how incompetent he is. As a result, Zhou Yun actually completed the task by shouting and jumping wildly.
Xu Jian has been training since he was a child to reach this level today. Zhou Yun only had his first special training and ran 17 kilometers in just one hour, it's really unbelievable, people are indeed envious of others until they die.
After eating breakfast, Zhou Yun returned to the classroom and lay on the table as usual. In fact, he wanted to study hard today, but unfortunately, the morning exercise consumed too much energy, and he needed a temporary recharge, so he decided to sleep through one class first. Xu Caiyue's situation was similar, having stayed up late playing games with Xu Xuan until dawn, and then being forced to get out of bed at 4 am to get ready. Lack of sleep is the arch-nemesis of beauties, if not made up for now, when else?
Then the two of them sat in the back row and fell asleep, each minding their own business...
Mo Jia, since recognizing Zhou Yun's skills last night. The next morning, Mo Feng came to the backyard of Mo Lao Ye's residence to report in detail. He recounted what happened at the hotel last night, including Zeng Qiudao causing trouble for Zhou Yun, and told everything clearly, leaving Mo Jia Lao Ye both shocked and excited.
Talent! Absolutely a personal talent! Being able to knock down Zeng Qiudao with one move, if he joins the Prairie, it will definitely be a great help. Nowadays, the strong players on the Prairie are as numerous as clouds, but they are all old members of the old guard. Without the injection of powerful new blood, decline is only a matter of time.
"The market competition is getting fiercer. Xiao Feng, do you have any way to attract customers?"
"It's tough, the Xu family seems to be taking him very seriously. Last night, even the rarely seen Fourth Miss came, aside from Third Brother."
"Alas... talented people... why don't we have such opportunities?"
"Grandpa, don't lose heart, heh! Actually, it's not like there's absolutely no chance at all." Mu Feng looked around cautiously, left and right, before confirming that no one else was present. Then, biting Mu Lao Ye's ear, he whispered: "That guy is very powerful, but he has a fatal weakness..."
"Oh, I see! So that's how it is?" The old man nodded in agreement as he listened, rubbing his chin: "A true man, I understand! Understand! Xiao Feng! The task of digging a hole in the wall will be left to you. Even if recruitment doesn't work out, having a good relationship can't hurt."
"No problem! I've got it covered." Mu Feng patted his chest and said, "But, Grandpa also needs to help persuade Ya Jie, okay? Without her, I'm nothing."
"Hmm... Alright, alright... I'll let Xiaoya come over. I'll try talking to her..."
