Chapter 565: Zhu Yun

"Boom, crack!"

"Boom, crack!"

"Yes! Add more power, push harder!"

Yongli Fitness Gym,

boxing ring,

Xiao Meng watched Zhu Suosuo and Qin Yumo practicing on the punching bags,

continuing with a cold face: "Punch faster, retract even faster! Every punch must be your peak performance—add power!"

"Qin Yumo, your punch is too slow—faster, even faster!"

"Boom, crack!"

under Xiao Meng's relentless urging,

Zhu Suosuo and Qin Yumo, drenched in sweat, clenched their teeth and swung punch after punch at the two fitness coaches wearing protective gear as targets,

"Boom, crack!"

"Boom, crack!"

"Stop! Stop! I can't—can't take it anymore…"

after being hit twice solidly by Zhu Suosuo's "220" punch,

the coach immediately called for a halt,

waving frantically at Xiao Meng: "I can't take it anymore, manager! Really can't! Sister Suosuo hits too hard—how can a woman have this much strength? My god, it hurts so much!"

"Same here."

the other fitness coach removed his gear, wiping sweat from his forehead: "Sister Yumo, Sister Suosuo, you're actors, not professional boxers—training doesn't need to be this extreme. You don't need to hit this hard!"

"No, no."

Zhu Suosuo and Qin Yumo seized the chance to wipe their sweat, then smiled: "Sorry, sorry—we got into the zone and lost control. Did we hurt you?"

"Hurt? Not that bad?"

Xiao Meng walked over, face still cold, scolding the two coaches: "Are you even qualified? You're fitness coaches, and two punches from Suosuo and Yumo already break you? You're both wearing protective gear!"

"No, manager, it really hurts!"

the first coach sighed, lifting his short sleeve,

and then Xiao Meng and Zhu Suosuo saw dark purple bruises on his ribs—some from the gear, others from Zhu Suosuo's accidental strikes…

seeing these marks,

Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but laugh and quickly apologized: "Sorry, sorry! I didn't realize I hit that hard—really sorry."

"Same here."

Qin Yumo's sparring coach also lifted his shirt, revealing marks across his chest and ribs,

Qin Yumo smiled and joined in the apology.

Xiao Meng now smiled too, surprised at how suddenly strong Zhu Suosuo and Qin Yumo's attacks had become,

and said directly: "Fine. Triple your pay for today, and you get two days of paid leave. Good enough?"

hearing there was compensation,

the two coaches nodded, removed their gear, and moved to leave,

Zhu Suosuo hurriedly called out: "Wait, wait! Just one more round? Just a little more?"

"No way, Sister Suosuo! One more round and we'll be in the hospital—really can't!"

the two coaches refused quickly, running faster than rabbits,

Xiao Meng laughed and handed both Zhu Suosuo and Qin Yumo bottles of mineral water,

then said: "Alright, Suosuo, Yumo, don't rush. Today's training is enough. Go shower, rest well, and continue tomorrow."

Zhu Suosuo shook her head: "Can't tomorrow—I have plans."

"Yeah."

Qin Yumo nodded with a smile: "Manager Gu just notified us this afternoon—we have plans tomorrow. I wonder if our new boxing skills will be useful, Xiao Meng. Do you think we could knock out a man without gear with one punch?"

"Knock out with one punch is hard."

Xiao Meng shook her head with a smile: "But knock him to tears? That shouldn't be a problem. Since you're busy tomorrow, reschedule—just tell me when you're free."

"Got it, Xiao Meng. We'll go shower now."

Zhu Suosuo said, pulling Qin Yumo toward the shower room,

while Xiao Meng stayed in the boxing room, organizing the protective gear and gloves…

…

Qin Feng returned home,

after showering, he took out his phone,

and immediately received a call from Zhu Yun,

on the other end,

Zhu Yun said happily: "Qin Feng, I've finished the core draft—ha! It was so hard."

"Yeah."

Qin Feng smiled in agreement: "It really was tough. Zhou Zhou said you stayed up late again yesterday?"

Group: 25595300

"Not really—just slept a bit later. Ran into some issues, so it delayed me a little."

After saying this,

Zhu Yun changed tone: "Qin Feng, I think I won't sleep tonight. I don't want to wake my roommate—could you keep me company?"

"Hm?"

Qin Feng was surprised: "How do you mean accompany? I can't go to your dorm, can I?"

"No, uh……"

Zhu Yun smiled and lowered her voice: "Let's go to that hotel, Qin Feng!"

Qin Feng was momentarily confused: "What hotel?"

Zhu Yun's face turned red as she lowered her voice again: "That one—the themed one, with themed costumes…"

Oh,

Qin Feng remembered,

that was the first hotel Zhu Yun had ever dragged him to,

the last time they went,

Zhu Yun had booked a classroom-themed room,

he wondered what theme she wanted this time,

so Qin Feng smiled and said: "Alright, I'll book the room. What theme do you want, Zhu Yun?"

"I already booked it."

Zhu Yun's voice dropped even lower: "This time it's Zootopia—Officer Judy's theme. I waited for days to get it. Qin Feng, come pick me up quickly."
