Chapter 49 Brain Explodes in White Light
"What are you all standing there for? Aren't you supposed to be training?!"
"Keep going! Don't stop!"
Just as everyone was discussing this, Cheng Zheng, who had been directing the formation across the playground, walked over with a cold face.
Everyone shuddered slightly, immediately averting their gazes from the spectacle and returning to their training.
Lin Shuyao rubbed her wrist, which had been pinched so hard by Zhao Tiemei, and tried to stand up by supporting herself with her palms. But when she tried, her arms ached and she couldn't stand up at all. She hissed in a spoiled and frustrated manner, feeling very defeated.
Having just been utterly humiliated by Zhao Tiemei, and now with Cheng Zheng seeing her like this, who doesn't have some self-respect?
Lin Shuyao's eyes stung, and she hung her head, deciding to give up and refuse to get up from the cushion.
A shadow fell over me, but there was no sound from above.
She could picture it: Cheng Zheng standing high above her, staring at her with a mocking gaze.
Lin Shuyao bit her lip and remained silent, not even looking up at him, hoping he would leave quickly.
Cheng Zheng saw that she had her head down and looked listless, like a cat that had been bullied. He had noticed her situation from the other side and saw that she was being beaten by Zhao Tiemei without any ability to fight back, so he rushed over.
His gaze darkened, and he said to Zhao Tiemei, who was not far away, "Go and give some guidance to the opposing formation."
Hearing this, Lin Shuyao felt even more frustrated.
He sent Zhao Tiemei to provide guidance, which shows that he highly approves of Zhao Tiemei. So he must be very happy to see her being thoroughly beaten by Zhao Tiemei, and he might even use her as a negative example to demonstrate to everyone.
Just like last time when she was folding blankets, but that time she just happened to know how to fold them, so she didn't embarrass herself in public. Fighting is different; she doesn't know how at all!
"Comrade Shen, I have to go over and give you some guidance. I don't have time to practice with you anymore." Zhao Tiemei curled her lips and called out to Lin Shuyao, who was sitting on the ground looking disheveled. Then she strode away to the other side without looking back.
What do you mean by "accompanying her to practice"? He's clearly just using her as a human punching bag!
Lin Shuyao angrily tugged at the hem of her clothes, when Cheng Zheng's voice came from above her head:
"Can you get up?"
It wasn't the cold, hard, and ruthless tone I had imagined.
Lin Shuyao was the type to take advantage of any slight, so she immediately dropped her act of stubbornness, stretched out her hand to him, and looked up at him pleadingly, saying, "It hurts so much, I can't get up..."
Cheng Zheng stared at her for a few seconds, then reached out and took her fair little hand, applying a little force.
Lin Shuyao was like a ball of cotton; he easily pulled her up.
"Can you still practice?" Cheng Zheng released her hand and asked.
Lin Shuyao nodded.
"Then stand over there." Cheng Zheng nodded to the side, bent down and dragged the soft cushion on the ground over there, then gestured for her to stand on the cushion.
Lin Shuyao obediently did as she was told. Cheng Zheng stood opposite her, legs slightly apart, posture straight, his dark eyes fixed on her.
"Now, you attack." He said succinctly.
"Huh?" Lin Shuyao opened her big, bewildered eyes, not understanding what he was going to do. Was he going to throw her again?
She couldn't even beat Zhao Tiemei, let alone him.
Her little face was tearful as she pointed to her still trembling arm: "I... I still hurt... Can we practice another day?"
"Attack me using the moves I demonstrated," Cheng Zheng repeated, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Lin Shuyao looked around; everyone was focused on practicing.
She remembered the last time she ran laps, her feet bled and she wanted to rest, but he scolded her in front of everyone.
This time, she dared not disobey his orders.
She took a deep breath, recalling a grappling technique he had demonstrated before, and clumsily rushed towards him, mimicking that movement.
The result was, of course, without any suspense.
She didn't even see how Cheng Zheng moved before he easily grabbed her wrist. Then he spun her around, and she fell forward uncontrollably. Just as she was about to fall flat on her face, she screamed "Wah!" and closed her eyes tightly.
However, the expected pain did not occur.
A strong, powerful arm wrapped around her waist, stabilizing her momentum and easily bringing her back to a standing position.
"You were too slow, and your intentions were too obvious." Cheng Zheng released her, sternly pointing out the problem, then assumed a defensive stance again. "Try again."
Lin Shuyao made the adjustments according to his suggestions.
This time, Cheng Zheng slowed down his counterattack and even gave Lin Shuyao a demonstration of how to counterattack when attacking.
Lin Shuyao wasn't stupid; she quickly grasped the key points.
Cheng Zheng then played a few more rounds with her, controlling his strength each time and catching her just in time when she was about to fall. After several times, Lin Shuyao finally found the trick.
She was not as strong as the others, so she had to use clever tricks and feints to catch them off guard.
This time, without Cheng Zheng saying anything, Lin Shuyao volunteered, "Let's do it again, this time you don't have to let me win."
"Okay." Cheng Zheng had just nodded when Lin Shuyao rushed towards him. She first made a feint, then nimbly twisted her legs and hooked her hands around his belt and pushed him backward. Her movements were quick, accurate, and ruthless, catching him off guard, and she actually pushed Cheng Zheng to sit on the cushion!
However, Cheng Zheng reacted quickly, immediately bracing himself with his hands behind him to stabilize his body.
"I... Ah—!" Lin Shuyao was showing off to Cheng Zheng with a smug look on her face when she tripped over her own feet and fell forward onto Cheng Zheng. Cheng Zheng was knocked backward by her and fell onto the soft cushion, with Lin Shuyao lying on top of him.
The cushion sank slightly as two warm bodies pressed together.
Lin Shuyao's almond-shaped eyes widened suddenly, her red lips parted slightly in shock, revealing a hint of pink. Their eyes met, and it was the first time she had seen Cheng Zheng's face so closely. He had thick, dark eyebrows, long, thick eyelashes, a straight nose, and lips that were perfectly shaped like diamonds, making him look very approachable. What was most striking about him were his eyes, which were dark and deep, as if they could see into one's soul, inexplicably making one's heart race.
Lin Shuyao felt her heart burning under his gaze. She frantically tried to get up, but the fabric of the military uniform under her palm unexpectedly slipped. Coupled with her panic, her arms went weak, and instead of getting up, she fell flat on her face again!
"Hmm!"
A soft, slightly cool sensation came over my lips.
Lin Shuyao froze instantly, her almond-shaped eyes widening, her mind going completely blank.
Her... her lips seemed to touch his.
But it's so soft.
She couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick it.
Cheng Zheng's brain exploded with white light, tiny electric currents surged through his limbs and bones, his Adam's apple slid up and down rapidly, and his body was taut like a fully drawn bow!
Then, as if remembering something, he rolled to the side with Lin Shuyao's waist, and the two switched positions, with him on top and her on the bottom. He quickly got up and at the same time reached out to pull Lin Shuyao up as well.
"Continue training."
Standing up straight, Cheng Zheng's face returned to its usual cold and stern expression, as if the kiss had never happened.
