Looking at the disciple he was most proud of, Su Buguo's heart was filled with gratification. Ever since Xiao Chu left the martial arts school eight years ago, he had been deeply regretful. He did not expect this kid to be even more handsome than before. As his master, he had almost been defeated by him just now.
Xiao Chu grinned and said respectfully with a face full of sincerity,""Master is still as good as ever!”
"Stop it!" Su Buguo glared at his disciple. Seeing Xiao Chu's unchanging expression, he knew that the other party had not used his full strength just now, leaving him with enough face. As the saying goes," The fist fears the young and strong." It was really hard not to be old!
He looked up at the clock on the wall. There were only five minutes left before the end of the class. Su Buguo waved to everyone and announced that the class was dismissed early.
"What a rare guest today. Why did you think of visiting Master?”Su Buguo asked casually as he pushed open the bedroom door. He had always wondered why his disciple had left the martial arts school for so many years without coming back to take a look or any news.
Xiao Chu briefly recounted his experiences over the years. When he heard that he hadn't gone to university and had been working as a firefighter, Su Buguo vaguely felt that something bad must have happened to his disciple, so he didn't continue to ask. The master and disciple had known each other for so long and knew each other's personalities very well. Naturally, they knew what to ask.
"Master, I have been practicing the martial arts you taught me every day these years, but I haven't made much progress. Since you're here this time, can you show me your trump card and let me broaden my horizons?”
Upon hearing this, Su Buguo rolled his eyes and said unhappily,""I knew you wouldn't come to me for no reason. You haven't come back to see me for so many years. The moment you come, you want such a good thing. No way!”
"Master, don't be like this. I didn't come empty-handed today. What do you think this is?”As he spoke, a paper bag magically appeared on Xiao Chu's right palm. He wondered where he had hidden it on his body.
"What is this?" Su Buguo's brows furrowed slightly, and his expression looked a little better than before.
"Don't underestimate me." Xiao Chu laughed. This was a top-grade Yuqian that had just been released this year. It was very expensive on the market!”
There was something he didn't say. He won this bag of tea leaves from the captain's bet. Because of this, the captain lost in exasperation and cursed in his office for a few days. Xiao Chu knew that his master usually liked this, so he specially brought it today to show his respect.
As he said that, Xiao Chu took out a tea set from the cabinet with ease. A moment later, a cup of fragrant tea was brought to the master.
"Master, please have some tea!"
Su Buguo took the teacup, took a sip, and nodded in satisfaction. After finishing one cup, he sighed."The tea is good, but it's a pity that it's a waste of effort.”
"No way!" Xiao Chu shouted exaggeratedly, his face full of disbelief.
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. Master only has this ability." Su Buguo sighed. Your foundation has long been emptied by you. There's nothing else to teach!”
Xiao Chu looked at his master seriously and finally believed that he wasn't lying. He then threw the regret in his heart aside. Learning martial arts was as important as making friends. Even if his master couldn't teach him, it didn't mean that he wouldn't have a chance in the future. There was definitely a master in this world, but fate had not yet arrived, and nothing could be forced.
The two of them chatted for a long time and had lunch together in the canteen of the martial arts school. They drank a little wine before saying goodbye. When Xiao Chu came out of the main door, he realized that the middle-aged man guarding the door was still the same as before. He had been reading the newspaper for hours, but he still hadn't finished it.
※※※※※※
Xiao Chu spent the entire afternoon reading in the library. It wasn't until six o'clock in the afternoon that he received a call. He put down the book in his hand and rushed to the agreed location.
As soon as he entered the private room, a tanned face immediately appeared in front of him."Xiao Chu, it's been so long since we last met, but you had to be urged by your brothers to come over. He definitely had to drink a few more glasses today.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a small golden bag appeared on his forehead. He turned around and saw that the person who had injured him had actually occupied his previous position and was smiling at him.
"Boss, why are you still the same as before, bullying me the moment you arrive?”Blackie unhappily sat to the side, looking like a punching bag. In the past few years, he had been doing well in the unit. His rank was already the deputy section chief, but he was always defeated in front of his best friend.
Xiao Chu greeted his brothers and reached out to fill a glass of beer. He said to Hei Zi,""Don't be unhappy, kid. It was just a joke. Can this cup of wine be my apology?" After saying that, he tilted his head and poured the entire glass of beer down his throat.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Blackie smiled again, and the golden bump on his forehead did not seem to hurt anymore. In the past, when they were in school, the brothers were always fighting and quarreling. When had they ever taken such a small matter to heart? For a moment, everyone was toasting each other and drinking happily. They had not seen each other for a long time, but their feelings for each other did not weaken at all. It was as if they had returned to their youthful and indulgent high school days.
"Boss, I heard that you and Kang Min are together. When do you plan to get married?”
When men were together, they would mostly talk about women. After drinking a few cups of horse urine, the topic changed to the above. Little Meng and Xiao Chu had the best relationship in school, so they were naturally more well-informed than the others.
Hearing this, Dahai immediately exclaimed,""No way! When did Boss make a move? Why didn't I notice it at school?”Then he rubbed his head and shouted,"Oh my god, my first love was taken away by you just like that!"”
Xiao Chu only raised his chopsticks to eat, smiling without saying a word. Back then, Kang Min was the goddess in everyone's hearts. She was the campus belle and the target of all the boys in the school. Her brothers seemed to be one of them and had written many love letters.
"You don't know, do you?" Little Meng said with a smile. The inside story is like this…"
Xiao Chu found it funny when he heard Little Meng adding fuel to the fire, spouting nonsense, and his brothers shouting non-stop. She turned her head inadvertently and suddenly saw a familiar figure through the crack in the door.
"Boss, where are you going?" Seeing Xiao Chu stand up, a few of them asked curiously. Xiao Chu didn't answer, but rushed out.
Where is he? Xiao Chu looked around outside the private room. He had clearly seen her passing by the door just now. Why had she disappeared in the blink of an eye? Could it be that his eyes were playing tricks on him?
He turned around and saw a man and a woman snuggling together as they walked out of a private room. When they saw Xiao Chumeng standing at the door, they were both stunned.
"Kang Min?"
"Xiao-Chu!" The woman subconsciously called out, a hint of panic in her drifting eyes. She had never expected to meet him here.
What trip? It was all fake. Xiao Chu's lips were tightly shut, and a trace of pain flashed across his eyes. The suspicion in his heart was finally confirmed. It was really a coincidence on such an occasion.
"Kang Min, what's wrong?" The man beside him expressed his concern and rolled his eyes at Xiao Chu,""What do you want? Hurry up and move away."
Xiao Chu stared straight into the woman's eyes and did not give in. He asked in a low voice,"Can you give me a reasonable explanation?”
The man wanted to flare up on the spot, but when he saw Xiao Chu's eyes that were filled with anger, he could not help but hesitate.
A moment later, the woman's eyes gradually returned to normal from the initial panic. She said to the man beside her,"Yuanqiao, wait for me outside. I'll talk to him for a while and then come out."
"Alright then!" The man glared fiercely at Xiao Chu before swaggering away.
Xiao Chu walked straight to the end of the long corridor and looked out the window. He asked in a deep voice,""If you have anything to say, say it today! You know my personality. I don't like to drag things out.”
"It's not what you think!”A weak voice came from behind.
Xiao Chu didn't say anything, his heart was cold. Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Things had already come to this, yet she still refused to admit it. Could it be that everything was a misunderstanding?
"I'm listening!" Xiao Chu slowly spat out three words. It was as cold as the winter wind, bone-chilling. Men hated betrayal the most, let alone a woman who was about to marry him. How did everything end up like this?
Looking at Xiao Chu's back, Kang Min's face had completely lost all color. Her delicate body trembled slightly. She wanted to take a step forward, but she stopped.
"Xiao Chu…"
"You don't have to say anything!"
Before his girlfriend could explain, Xiao Chu interrupted her. The intimate look between the two of them just now had already explained everything. Any explanation was futile, so there was no need to continue hurting them.
Xiao Chu slowly turned around and looked deeply at Kang Min. Looking at this familiar face, an indescribable pain welled up in the depths of his heart. In just a few days, everything had changed completely. The feelings between people were actually so fragile. Love was really worse than f * cking dog shit!
"Take care of yourself in the future!" After a long while, Xiao Chu finally said something with a powerful voice and walked into the private room without looking back.
"Brothers, let's get drunk tonight!”He reached out and grabbed a bottle of white wine, broke it open, and downed it in one gulp.
