Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 24 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
It turns out that eating hot pot wastes paper.

At least that's the case for Hu Li.

But in Lu Yao's view, she was not actually eating hotpot, but torturing herself.

The soup base of this hot pot restaurant is just average.

The hot pot is not fragrant even after being boiled for a long time.

And this "fragrance" does not refer to the flavor, but the flavor contained in the authentic Sichuan and Chongqing hot pot.

At least for Lu Yao, the taste of the hotpot is very average, the kind that would die after only three months at most in Sichuan and Chongqing.

The spiciness is just so-so.

Anyway, when he ate the vine vegetables, he felt a slight burning sensation at most, and nothing else.

But Hu Li had already eaten to the point of being "high".

Her hair was already in wisps, but that was not the most important thing. The most obvious expression of her pain was her lips.

It's red and looks like it's pouting when you close your mouth.

It's swollen at first glance.

But she didn't stop.

He took a bite, slurped it, wiped his eyes, nose, and mouth, and then continued eating.

"Sister Li, soy milk is very good at relieving spiciness."

"No, I'm not spicy, just hot."

This was Lu Yao’s third “advice”.

The result was an answer that was not satisfactory to Tian Xin.

"Lu Yao."

"Ok?"

"Have you heard the saying, sour boy, spicy girl?"

"I heard."

“Do you think there is any scientific basis for this?”

"..."

Lu Yao was a little confused about what to say.

Because the rich woman's expression was not right, the question did not sound like casual chatting, but like... some kind of shackles on her.

strange.

The rich woman didn't expect him to answer, but continued:

"I can't eat sour food, and I don't like sour food. I like spicy food, the spicier the better."

"..."

In fact, according to what the two chatted about, Lu Yao should have answered:
"Then Sister Li will definitely give birth to a girl as beautiful as you in the future."

But that's where the contradiction lies.

She obviously can't eat spicy food.

It was as if she was forced to eat this hotpot.

Although I don’t know if she can eat sour food, but judging by the degree to which she can eat spicy food...she can’t be considered a “sour boy, spicy girl”.

But by forcing yourself like this, do you want to have a daughter?

Lu Yao was full of doubts, but these doubts turned into a smile when they came to his mouth:

"Ha! There is no scientific basis for this statement. Whether to eat sour or spicy is a matter of personal taste."

"Sigh~~"

The rich woman didn't answer, she just kept breathing in and out.

Then he picked up a piece of blood sausage that had been boiled and put it into the dry dish that was almost turning into a greasy dish.

"Jingle Bell……"

Lu Yao's phone rang.

He glanced at the caller, then looked up and said to Hu Li:

"It's Mr. Xu."

"hiss……"

Hu Li ignored him and continued hissing.

Lu Yao thought about it and answered the phone directly:

"Hey, Mr. Xu."

"Um... I just woke up, where are you?"

Hearing Xu Ruochu's words, Lu Yao took the phone away from his ear and turned on the speakerphone:

"Sister Li and I are eating hot pot in the mall."

As he said that, he handed the phone to Hu Li.

But in the process of handing it over, he heard a surprised voice:

"eat hot pot?"

It seems like he doesn't understand.

Then, Hu Li's voice sounded:

"Hey."

"Did you have an argument with the old man this afternoon?"

Hu Li subconsciously looked at Lu Yao.

"I'll get some fruit."

Almost at the same time, Lu Yao stood up and walked towards the condiments table.

I'm in a bad mood, so I vent and eat hot pot. I might have a fight in the afternoon...

Sure enough, what she likes is not the spicy taste, but this kind of... pain?

Lu Yao, who had roughly guessed the reason, suddenly thought of the clothes he had just bought.

He couldn't empathize with Hu Li's "pain".

Just some sighs...

Sure enough, people are really different.

Some people have to control themselves when venting their emotions, even when they cry.

But some people vent their anger...

After getting some fruit, he returned to the table. Hu Li had already finished his call.

The first thing I said after seeing Lu Yao coming back was:

"Xiaochu said...you are good at comforting people?"

Lu Yao thought to himself that it depends on what kind of cigarettes you smoke.

"Mr. Xu is too flattering to me. How can I comfort others?"

"…Tell me how you two met. I'm curious."

"it is good."

Lu Yao sat down and began to tell the story of their "evil fate".

You know what, Hu Li listened very seriously. And when she heard that Lu Yao accidentally bumped into Xu Ruochu's arm and ended up calling her a three-point Landlord game, she laughed out loud.

Smiling happily.

But when she heard Xu Ruochu, who was sitting by the river, talking about what that game of Landlord meant to her, her smile suddenly became "frozen" again.

According to Lu Yao's idea, her inner thoughts at this moment should be "I laughed so loudly just now, I deserve to die."

When Lu Yao talked about how Xu Ruochu took him home, Hu Li's first words were:

“Is her house a mess?”

"……good."

He certainly can't do bad things to his boss.

Even if... without me she would have to live in a pigsty.

Hu Li didn't care about his answer and continued to speak:

"The cleaner she hired this time was actually pretty good. At least the living room was clean. But I guess she learned her lesson and didn't let the cleaner into her bedroom... I don't know how long this cleaner can last."

Lu Yao thought to himself, "Open your eyes and see clearly."

that's me!
It’s me!!!!
However... he was more curious about Xu Ruochu's living conditions.

In fact, he also had a doubt in his mind.

Xu Ruochu’s family…seems to be very rich too.

But why is there no one around her, let alone the cleaning lady?

Just like free range.

So, he asked:

"Does Mr. Xu have high requirements for cleaning? I don't think there's anyone else around her to take care of her."

"She doesn't have high requirements for cleaning, as long as it's clean. But the problem is...how can I tell you."

Hu Li thought for a moment and said, "Let me put it this way. Few people can truly go into a mountain of treasures and return empty-handed. Do you understand this principle?"

"...I think I understand. Mr. Xu also said that the last cleaner stole something."

"Yeah. Even though they are just some worthless gadgets, this behavior itself is wrong."

Haihou didn’t say what the so-called “worthless gadgets” were, but Lu Yao guessed that they must be quite valuable to ordinary people.

"After the discovery, not only this cleaner, but the entire cleaning company will no longer cooperate. And her ability to take care of herself...is not that strong. Or rather, she is a person who doesn't pay much attention to the details of life. It was fine when she was at home, with a housekeeper and a trusted servant. But now that she is out, she has to manage everything by herself."

"…What do you mean by leaving home?"

Lu Yao asked tentatively.

The rich woman, who seemed to have had enough of self-torture, finally picked up the bottle of soy milk that Lu Yao ordered for her.

The soy milk was icy. After taking a sip, she squinted her eyes.

With a bit of sweetness, he said:
"The rule in her family is that everyone has to go out and make their own way. If they are successful in their careers, their family will help them and they can keep going. If they can't make it, they can go back home and their family will arrange a way out for them. And this kind of adventure is the same for everyone, they all go out and live independently."

"..."

Lu Yao wondered if her family’s understanding of the word “independence” was a little different.

Such an expensive house in Fortune Garden, several luxury cars, and "investing 200 million" at any time...

Could you also help me achieve this independence?

He was muttering to himself when he heard the rich woman continue:

"In fact, I think their family's arrangement is quite right. Everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous, but only after they suffer losses outside will they grow up, understand the importance of family, and become more stable. This may be one of the reasons why her family has been passed down for so long... But some of the rules are still old-fashioned in my opinion."

The rich woman sneered.

Continue to drink soy milk.

Lu Yao looked at the situation and estimated that one bottle was not enough, so he asked the waiter to add two more bottles.

Although the hot pot continued to boil, the meal was coming to an end.

The rich woman didn't tell him very much in detail, and Lu Yao didn't continue to ask.

After finishing two bottles of soy milk, the rich woman looked at the time and her eyes rolled...

"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."

"……it is good."

Lu Yao nodded:
"I'll go check out."

"Hmm."

The rich woman nodded with a smile:
“I had a meal, it felt great~”

Lu Yao thought to himself, isn’t that right?

It feels so good to get hundreds of thousands of clothes...

……

When getting in the car, Lu Yao found that the trunk was already full.

The corners of his mouth twitched... and he helped the rich woman open the car door.

After getting in the car, he asked:

"Sister Li, where are we going?"

"You're full. I'll take you to digest it... I just happened to be very interested in a project, but I don't want to practice with someone I don't know. Let's go and learn about it together."

"……project?"

Lu Yao was a little curious.

But the rich woman just smiled and said no more.

then……

She took Lu Yao to a gym that was obviously not cheap from its location and decoration. There she met a female coach who had dark skin and looked very agile.

"My friend, Lu Yao. Lu Yao, this is Coach Zhang Jie."

"Hello, Coach Zhang."

Lu Yao greeted him politely, and then heard Hu Li say to Zhang Jie:
"I'll bring him along to experience it."

"No problem. Let's change clothes first, shall we?"

So, Lu Yao inexplicably had a set of training clothes stuffed in his hands and walked into the locker room.

When he took out the training suit, he discovered...

Why does this outfit look like Taekwondo clothes?
Are you asking me to learn Taekwondo?

But are Taekwondo clothes so thick?
He was a little confused, but he changed his clothes and went out.

After finding coach Zhang Jie, the first thing she said was:

"Mr. Lu, did you have any fighting skills before?"

"Uh...no."

After that, he asked curiously:
"Coach Zhang, are we learning Taekwondo?"

“No, it’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.”

"...?"

Lu Yao was stunned, but immediately reacted and asked:
"Like the UFC kind?"

"Yes. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a ground-fighting technique that originated from Japanese Judo..."

While Hu Li was still here, she began to explain this fighting technique to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao suddenly realized and said with a smile:

"I thought I was doing Taekwondo when I wore this outfit."

Zhang Jie pursed her lips and smiled.

He seems to be noncommittal about Taekwondo.

Soon after, Hu Li, wearing the same blue training suit, also came out.

The only difference was that unlike Lu Yao's bare feet, she was wearing socks.

After seeing Lu Yao, she patted Lu Yao on the shoulder:

"Be gentle for a while."

"Sparring?"

Hearing Lu Yao's words, Zhang Jie quickly shook her head:
"We will learn the basic movements in the first class. We won't practice sparring."

Lu Yao hadn't responded yet, but Hu Li's face was full of regret:
"Ah? No sparring? I finally got the sandbags..."

"..."

Well, after all this time, you're still treating me like a human sandbag?
Zhang Jie smiled and took them to a practice room with a hard mat:

"Let's warm up first..."

……

There are mirrors on all four sides of the practice room, but... looking at the judo uniforms on my body, there is actually not much "difference" between men and women.

Lu Yao hadn't exercised today, and as he was a little curious about new things, he followed Zhang Jie and started warming up.

Not to mention Hu Li, whether it is warm-up or flexibility, she is more than one level higher than Lu Yao.

After the warm-up, Lu Yao had a slight sweat on his forehead, but Hu Li was fine.

Then, the two began the basic practice of the first movement.

Roll forward, roll backward...

To be honest, these movements are quite simple. Not to mention Hu Li's standard, Lu Yao's is also good.

Then there are the tornado kneeling positions, sitting positions, lying positions, and the very interesting wall walking positions, etc.

Lu Yao discovered that all the moves in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu were ground moves.

There are also shrimp pose, turtle pose and so on.

It seems simple, but the core requirements are relatively high.

But fortunately, he is Kobe's disciple.

After finishing a set of basic movements, his forehead was covered with sweat and he just wanted to sigh:
"MAN!"

It's quite enjoyable.

Very comfortable.

The class is coming to an end.

But Hu Li was still not satisfied.

"Coach, I saw a move like this."

As she spoke, she suddenly used a very...clever move to clamp Lu Yao's arm between her legs.

then……

"hiss!!!"

Before he could even enjoy the softness of her body, Lu Yao was directly put in a cross-arm lock in the riding position. His mind went blank. Before he could even shout, the opponent's calf landed on his face.

The smooth skin directly blocked his mouth.

Touch: tender, fragrant...

And... it hurts.
