Chapter 106: The Childish One

~11 min read 2,173 words

These cults aren't entirely useless; this is a rare opportunity for freedom. In a moment, the peerless and charming Arths turns into the passerby A Youyou, but her playful and lively large eyes, though lacking the starlit shimmer, reveal a cute and genuine joy.

Li Hao had originally thought A Youyou wouldn't be able to get out, but he actually received an affirmative reply. He could hear her excitement even through the communicator; she must be incredibly happy. As a dance student, she must be especially thrilled to be a backup dancer for Arths.

Not long after, Li Hao's ears twitched slightly. He turned his head and saw A Youyou not far away, waving at him. Under the lights, A Youyou was so cute.

The dainty A Youyou spun around, took nimble steps, and hopped over to Li Hao. With her hands behind her back, she poked her cute little head out and stared at Li Hao, "Senior, did you see my wonderful performance?"

The smile on Li Hao's face suddenly stiffened, "This, cough cough, wonderful, that's for sure, how could Aiyouyou not be wonderful!"

"Ah, no way, Senior, you... didn't find me???"

A Youyou looked at Li Hao with a face full of "shock," her expression filled with grievance and sadness.

"No, it's not that, I was looking the whole time, maybe Arths's concert was just too wonderful..."

"Hmph, Senior, I knew you boys all like goddesses and idol stars. Someone like me, an ordinary person, is easily ignored. Fine, I'm used to it, A Youyou, whom no one likes..."

"No, that's not it, how could that be? I like you. Arths sings very well, but this is..."

Watching Li Hao's flustered appearance, A Youyou giggled, "Senior, you're so silly. I was teasing you. Let's go, the concert is over, and I'm free!"

Looking at the girl as cute as the Wind, Li Hao's heart nearly melted, "Aiyouyou, you actually dared to deceive your senior. My heart is hurt, you must compensate me, don't run..."

Li Hao, who had originally intended to return to school, was dragged by A Youyou into the reveling crowd, "Senior, don't be so stuffy and pretend to be cool all day. I'll teach you, let's dance together."

"Aiyouyou, you are provoking your senior. Although I'm not good at dancing, my physical movements are definitely no problem."

Although Martial Arts and dance have different rhythms, they still have some things in common; his splits are no joke either.

Seeing Li Hao perform an exaggerated move without admitting defeat, A Youyou immediately executed a graceful posture of spinning, jumping, and leaping into the air, "If you have the ability, do another one!"

Having a photographic memory is no great skill, but Li Hao immediately copied one. Unlike A Youyou's graceful, soft, and artistic style, Li Hao's was quite handsome and full of a Warrior's cool vibe.

"Ah, not bad, Senior. Then let's do a high-difficulty one next."

A Youyou stepped back, a cushion step, consecutive jumps, side-spinning flying dance...

The entire venue erupted in thunderous applause; it had become a dance battle between the two. How could Li Hao back down? He immediately did the exact same thing. Of course, coming from him, it didn't look like a dance, but more like a move—a side-spinning flying kick—but it was still handsome and won a round of cheers.

Just when Li Hao thought A Youyou was going to continue challenging high-difficulty moves, A Youyou dragged Li Hao and slipped away.

"Still not leaving? Do you want us to perform all night? Overall, it wasn't bad. Tell me, what gift do you want?"

A Youyou looked up at Li Hao.

In an instant, Li Hao's heart began to thump wildly, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.

A Youyou was also stunned, her large eyes flickering slightly. She gently bit her red, rain-kissed lips, looking at Li Hao, wanting to say something but stopping.

After five breaths, Li Hao finally spoke: "A Youyou, do you want to go get a late-night snack?"

A late-night snack???

Yes, a late-night snack.

No one asked: Is it disgusting for a woman and a man to hug and exchange saliva?

No one answered: As long as it is something you loathe, can you... (Left for the low-level people to answer).

Before finishing the late-night snack, after safely sending Zuo Xiaotang back to the dormitory, Lu Ying looked at the star-filled sky, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Watching Lu Ying posing from under the window, Zuo Xiaotang also blushed, "Zuo Xiaotang, is he crazy? A late-night snack, it was actually a real late-night snack...!"

"Could it be that I felt you were beautiful enough?"

"Yes, yes, the look in his eyes at that time was very cold. In TV dramas, aren't they supposed to do a Wall Slam at that moment? Could it be because there was no wall?"

Next time, find a place with a wall. The large marble in his hand bounced, his white teeth bit down with a click, and then inspiration struck. He began to write down the melody in his head while dangling his fair, slender legs, which were partially visible. The melody had lyrics, and it was...

Far away, hmph, a silly senior appeared on the paper.

Another beautiful but slightly sleepless night for classmate Lu Ying. Across from her, Wuzang was snoring loudly in his sleep. His sleeping posture was dead serious—lying flat with his hands at his sides, feeling just like he was in eternal rest. Anyone who saw it would find it especially healing. Ma Laoshi hadn't returned, and Chang Danyong was probably still partying.

Early Sunday morning, Lu Ying and Wuzang went to train. Tan Ziyuan was still snoring loudly. When the two returned, they found Tan Ziyuan already dressed, and Chang Danyong had actually returned as well.

"What's the situation, Ma Laoshi, you actually returned during your weekend time?"

Chang Danyong couldn't help but laugh.

"As a member of the team, how could I fall behind? I am destined to be the Student Council President of Tianjing Martial Arts!"

Li Hao said firmly, "However long you can train, I can train just as long."

Damn it, physical fitness is a good thing. The dignified 'One Night Four Lads' actually had weak legs. He needed to strengthen his training and become an invincible Iron King Kong.

"That's good news. Starting this week, we will conduct physical training every day, striving to get our fitness up by the Mid-Season Tournament."

Lu Ying said.

"Tan Ziyuan, you were quite the center of attention yesterday, actually being named at Arths's concert. You have boundless glory."

Tan Ziyuan sat up with a thud, "I am now the official Group Leader of the Arths fan club. From now on, call me Group Leader Ziyuan, or Leader."

"Not bad, Group Leader Ziyuan. The highest we can reach upon graduating from Tianjing Martial Arts is Sergeant, and you've gone straight to Group Leader."

"Hehe, you're too kind, you're too kind. My wish has been fulfilled."

Tan Ziyuan smiled like a morning glory.

"It's a good thing your wish was fulfilled. Remember to keep up with the training later!"

Lu Ying reminded him.

"Training, what training?"

Tan Ziyuan was stunned.

"You said it yourself yesterday. Once your wish was fulfilled, your life would belong to the team. It's not that exaggerated, just keep up with the training. You were absent in the afternoon, so you can't fall behind in the morning."

Lu Ying said.

Tan Ziyuan's chubby face instantly scrunched up. Recalling the beauty of yesterday, he endured it—it was just training, after all.

"By the way, Zuo Xiaotang is also joining the team as an officer."

Lu Ying said calmly.

The three people in the dormitory immediately perked up, "Wow, something's going on!"

"Hao Ge, congratulations to him, how many bases has he reached???"

Li Hao's expression was as anxious as Lu Ying's mother's.

"What bases? Does he have anything else in his brain? He had a very happy late-night snack last night; I feel he has taken another step forward."

Lu Ying said casually.

"Tch~~~~"

"~"

The afternoon classes ended, and the team training began. It was still the Gravity Room. After last week, they had experience, but in fact, except for Wuzang and Zhou Naiyi, the other two were still a bit timid.

"Tan Ziyuan, you are famous. You are the number one Earth fan named by Arths."

Ma Long teased, and Tan Ziyuan just had a silly smile on his face.

"Ma Long, are you flirting with our Tan Ziyuan? You have to take responsibility for flirting with an honest person."

Sheng Man said.

"Yo, Tan Ziyuan, how are you going to take responsibility?"

Sheng Man looked at Tan Ziyuan, her smile blooming.

"No need, no need to take responsibility."

Tan Ziyuan hurriedly waved his hands.

Li Hao really wanted to kick that idiot to death; he could even break a red thread if he tried to tie it. At this moment, Zuo Xiaotang arrived.

"Let me introduce her to everyone, Tan Ziyuan, our junior sister and my good friend, who will also be working here as a part-time clerk."

Li Hao said seriously.

"Hello everyone, seniors, please take care of me."

"The Team Leader's friend is our friend, then. This is incredible, Team Leader; before, she was just a junior, and now she's become a 'good' friend."

Lu Lingxiao teased.

"You guys chat, we are going to train."

Li Hao looked at the time; the task was still arduous.

Li Hao started the porter project again. This was the fastest and most effective way to improve, provided there was someone like Li Hao who could insightfully monitor their physical changes; otherwise, it would be risking their lives.

Li Hao would always catch them at their critical point and carry them out one by one, and every experience of being pushed to the limit of exhaustion was valuable experience, tempering their physique and forging their will.

Of course, for Li Hao and Tan Ziyuan, there was only pain, but in front of Sheng Man and the others, they couldn't act like cowards. Even if they could only gasp for air when they came out, they still had to strike a pose.

Sheng Man wiped the sweat for Li Hao while leaning into his ear, "I finally understand why you performed so ordinarily yesterday..."

Ordinarily indeed~~~~~

"What, that's irrelevant. This bit of training is nothing; it's just that I was too lazy before. Once I adapt a little, you'll all have to step aside!"

In an instant, Li Hao's tiger body shook; a man absolutely cannot say he is weak!

It seemed he had recovered a bit of stamina. Beside him, Sheng Man laughed until she trembled, which made Ma Laoshi feel restless. Looking at Wuzang and Zhou Naiyi inside, they still needed to work hard; those two guys were a bit fierce.

Huo Ying, who was watching from the side, rolled his eyes. That pretty boy was comparable to Zhao Zhihan; his legs were weak, yet he was still holding on.

"Senior Sister, does our team not have a dedicated coach?"

Zuo Xiaotang asked. She was brought by Tan Ziyuan; clearly, this was a rule among girls.

A Youyou looked at Zuo Xiaotang. Her appearance definitely belonged to the type that grows on you. She didn't have flashy makeup, her skin was delicate and very healthy, and a few small freckles added a sense of real playfulness. What was important was her temperament—the confidence and friendliness radiating from her bones. No wonder Li Hao would like her.

"We are the Team Leader and part-time coach."

"Ah, can he do it?"

Zuo Xiaotang looked at Li Hao, who was acting like a nanny inside, and felt a bit doubtful.

"Of course. Li Hao has a relatively calm and low-key personality and is mature in his work, but his strength is beyond doubt. His friends are at the level of Luo Bi and Aofei!"

After saying this, A Youyou felt a bit regretful. What was wrong with her? Why was she bragging about someone she admired in front of a rival?

"Calm? Low-key? Mature?"

Zuo Xiaotang was stunned. How could she not feel that at all? Li Hao was usually a rascal.

"Yes, this was personally appointed by the principal. Some people might be low-key for a while, but gold will always shine."

A Youyou liked people like Li Hao; once she saw eye-to-eye with them, everything was fine.

Zuo Xiaotang looked at Li Hao inside and smiled slyly.

"Zuo Xiaotang, are you an exchange student from the Art Department? I haven't seen you come to class usually?"

Ma Long finished dealing with Tan Ziyuan and took the initiative to come over to help.

(Bosses, for the sake of the campus atmosphere, I specifically stayed at Huazheng for a while; it's full of youthful memories. Is the emotional scale appropriate? I'm afraid it's too much; decent people wouldn't watch it...)
