Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 365 - 186: The Fated One [Major - ]_2
They took a 30-minute break before starting the second class—the combination of footwork and punching in shadow boxing training.
As soon as Han Lie started, Michelle was immediately taken aback. Her steely, determined face tensed, her not-so-big eyes bulging, and at least nine frown lines crinkled across her broad forehead. Boy, those were some intense concentration lines...
Before long, the entire team started clutching their heads and cursing.
"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! JESUS!"
"HOLY RIB-CRACKER!"
"WHAT THE FUCK?!"
Han Lie hadn’t actually done much, just executed a few sets of smooth sliding and hopping shadow boxing combos. Any newbie with a bit of talent and over a month’s training could do it; it was no big deal.
Then Michelle tossed her gloves aside and came at Han Lie, spitting fire.
"Han! Do you want to go pro? Sign with me! I’ll give you a full refund for your tuition, and I’ll take you to the world’s biggest stage, grooming you to become the first Huaxia boxing champion! You will earn more money than you can even imagine! One billion? Two billion? NONONO, not two billion, not three billion, not four billion, nor five or six billion... but even more! Do you understand your commercial value? Your country has already won many Olympic gold medals, but you lack iconic figures in two crucial areas! One is football, and the other is boxing!"
What a ridiculous comparison! Han Lie immediately lost interest in playing along.
After a moment’s thought, Brother Lie gave her a definitive answer, "If I had to choose... I would take my talent to the soccer field!"
Michelle was stunned as if struck by lightning, completely dumbfounded.
After the joke, Han Lie clapped his hands forcefully.
"Hey! Champ, be professional! I’ve paid a lot of money, so show some professional attitude. Don’t mess around during my lesson time, OK?!"
Han Lie hadn’t yet cultivated that imposing aura, but his righteous and staunch attitude alone already began to emit an unmistakable air of authority.
"Fine, you really are my god..." Michelle begrudgingly stopped, sighed, and continued the lesson.
For the rest of the time, the entire team treated Han Lie with special respect. A young man who was rich, talented, and had the right attitude indeed deserved respect. So Brother Lie happily gained over 200 points of boxing experience.
Actually, Han Lie could rely solely on experience points to improve; he didn’t really need coaching. But he needed sparring partners and, more importantly, a training venue. Fighting is different from a craft; it’s not a solo sport. To maximize skill effectiveness, sparring with experts is the right choice.
Around 9:00 PM, after taking a shower, Han Lie prepared to return to school. At the door, the mixed-race beauty showered him with adoring flattery.
"Han, you’re so handsome!"
Simple and genuine, pleasing indeed.
"Thanks. I’ll allow you to offer me a hug."
The man was unbearably smug, but it hit right at the mixed-race beauty’s sense of Western romance, so she hugged Han Lie tightly. It was just that her perfume was a bit too strong, not as fresh and natural as Xi Luting’s.
Why think of Xi Luting specifically? Because Han Lie had casually promised to hang out with her that evening, and it was already close to 9:30 PM, with the promise still hanging in the air...
Damn, I need to hurry.
On the way back, Han Lie took the initiative to call her.
"Something up?!"
Great, she obviously sounded annoyed.
Han Lie casually took out a coin and flipped it into the air. Heads, he would coax her; tails, he’d continue to be harsh.
The coin landed in his palm. After a glance at the side that faced up, Han Lie defiantly responded, "What’s with that attitude? Looking for a fight, are we?"
"You!" Xi Luting was taken aback.
Han Lie pressed on, "Come on, come out and let’s discuss this face-to-face!"
CLICK!
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP...
The line went dead, as expected.
Han Lie chuckled and sent her a message: "Not planning on making up tomorrow, huh? Bring your little toy. Come to the Sheraton to find me. Now, at once, immediately!"
Xi Luting replied with a middle finger emoji.
When Han Lie tried to tease her again, a red exclamation mark appeared on his WeChat screen.
Crap, I went too far...
But Han Lie wasn’t worried. His struggle with Xi Luting had long transcended the initial stage and was now a long-term process. Patience was required to eventually win. If she wouldn’t come out, then he’d favor Sweetie instead. He’d just spent a lot of money on her, and it was prime time to enjoy the peak of her warmth—any married man knows the blissful days following a purchase of a new bag for his wife.
On the way, Han Lie scrolled through his texts and WeChat messages, ignoring the missed calls. Pan Ge’s message about watching a movie was passed over, and after that, she sent no more texts.
Han Lie casually replied, "I’ve been busy outside all day. I just came out of the boxing gym on the second floor and didn’t see you when I came down. Didn’t you train today?"
Pan Ge, undisturbed—at least, she didn’t show any sign of annoyance—replied openly, "My coach told me to train two days out of five. You weren’t around, so I went to a reunion with my high school classmates." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Han Lie had a thought.
Is she close with her high school friends?
Right, she has almost no social life in university, so her circle likely centers around her former classmates.
But she never mentioned them to me, nor had she shown any intention of introducing me to her circle.
Well played, keeping things close to the chest, aren’t you?
With a little contemplation, Han Lie guessed her intentions.
