He unleashed a world-class goal with a single kick; you're saying this is Su Chao?

Zhao Lei was tying his shoelaces when he saw Haozi's behavior, so he simply sat down on the ground and refused to go up to him.

He was older than both Haozi and Chen Xun, but his technical skills were about the same as Haozi's.

If that were to happen, wouldn't it be incredibly embarrassing?

Let the mouse handle the embarrassing stuff alone!

"Who disagrees?"

The mouse shouted again at the top of its lungs.

No one answered.

Seeing the group of people looking at him with amusement, Haozi knew he had been tricked.

These people must know Chen Xun's abilities.

We're just waiting for him to come up and embarrass himself.

A bunch of seasoned veterans!

Mouse's rant.

He then beamed and put his arm around Chen Xun's shoulder: "From now on, we'll be the best partners. We'll coordinate our attacks during the competition and dominate the field!"

Chen Xun smiled helplessly.

This guy has a thick skin.

He opened the skill panel:

[Robben's inside cut-in shooting proficiency +8%, currently 63%]

[Host detected to have completed a high-quality groin pass change of direction. Dribbling proficiency increased by 6%. Current intermediate dribbling proficiency: 31%]

[Note: The higher the quality of the defensive confrontation, the more rewarding it will be.]

really!

Competitive matches can improve proficiency.

Chen Xun was increasingly looking forward to the upcoming competition.

However, there was one more important thing he needed to do before the match.

……

"Young people need to be more moderate. Can your body handle it?"

Li Jun frowned as he looked at Chen Xun in front of him.

Young people don't take care of their health at all!

In youth, one does not know the value of energy; in old age, one can only weep in vain for past achievements.

"Uncle Li, I just wanted to get cupping done, what are you talking about?"

Chen Xun stood in front of Li Jun's desk, and upon hearing Li Jun's words, he was speechless.

It makes it seem like I'm going to some kind of disreputable place.

"Cupping is good, but you can't do it forever!"

Although Li Jun was saying that, he still took out a membership card from the drawer and handed it to Chen Xun: "How are you going to go?"

This question stumped him.

Chen Xun opened his mouth as if to say "take the bus," but then swallowed the words back.

It seems there's no public transportation to that traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

Li Jun chuckled and reached into the drawer to pull out a set of keys.

"Ride my electric scooter!"

Chen Xun's eyes lit up, and he reached for the key.

Li Jun held onto the keys tightly, saying, "Come back early. If you're late for training tomorrow, I won't care if Lao Zhou makes you run laps."

"Thank you, Uncle Li!"

Chen Xun ran out of the office with the keys in his pocket.

pedal!pedal!pedal!

Go downstairs.

The bicycle shed behind the base dormitory building is a simple shed made of sheet metal, with several electric vehicles parked haphazardly inside.

He pressed the key.

An electric scooter covered in various stickers flashed by.

Chen Xun stepped on and turned the key.

The electric vehicle drove out of the base gate and turned onto the cement road lined with plane trees on both sides.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, spreading a carpet of golden light across the ground. As the wheels rolled over the ground, the dappled sunlight shimmered before his eyes, making him squint.

He wasn't riding fast.

I've been at the club for over a month, and all I've done is train, train, train.

I only visited a traditional Chinese medicine clinic once in between.

Now, suddenly riding a small electric scooter on the street, I have a strange feeling of being released from prison for a stroll.

The streets, shops, and pedestrians I passed by...

Everything felt new and exciting to him.

"A pounding heart is love burning like a raging fire..."

A food delivery driver revved the engine and sped past him, a speaker strapped to the back of his vehicle playing "Love Like Fire".

Chen Xun couldn't help but hum along.

Cycling is definitely more comfortable than taking the bus.

The wind blowing on my face helped to dispel much of the soreness and stiffness from a day of training.

Chen Xun followed the navigation and turned into a narrow alley.

On both sides are old-style residential buildings, with the ground floor converted into various small shops.

The alley was so narrow that only two electric bikes could barely pass side by side. Overhead, power lines stretched haphazardly, and clothes and sheets hung out to dry fluttered in the wind like flags at half-mast.

Last time he came at night, and Chen Xun really didn't notice what was around him.

*Sizzle*

Chen Xun slammed on the brakes.

The navigation prompt has arrived!

He looked up at the entrance sign in front of him.

It looks a little different from when I came last night.

The lightbox wasn't lit; during the day, it looked like an ordinary street-front shop, even a bit shabby.

Chen Xun pushed open the door and went in.

There was no one at the front desk on the first floor. The registration book on the table was open, and a cup of steaming chrysanthemum tea was placed next to it.

Just as he was about to shout, a woman's soft moans suddenly came from the stairwell.

Chen Xun paused for a moment, his hand still gripping the doorknob.

What's going on?

He looked up and glanced in the direction of the stairwell.

The sound came from the second floor, intermittently.

No way, this old Chinese medicine clinic offers this kind of service?

Chen Xun was caught in a dilemma.

If we go up there, what if we stumble upon something we shouldn't see?

If it were a beautiful young girl, that would be fine.

If this were his aunt, the psychological trauma he would suffer for the rest of his life would probably be immense.

He was reluctant to go downstairs.

Messi still needs dozens more cupping sessions to dribble.

As Chen Xun hesitated, the noise from upstairs grew more intense and the pitch rose higher and higher.

Is this the end of it?

He simply turned around and prepared to leave.

If not, I'll grab an egg pancake outside first and come in later.

Just then, another voice came down from upstairs; it was the voice of a middle-aged woman:

"Your trapezius muscles are too stiff, but it's already amazing that you've trained to this level. Next time you compete, be careful not to shrug your shoulders; instead, keep your shoulders down and use your strength."

Next came a young girl's voice, tinged with naivety: "I know, Sister Wu. She always says my work isn't up to standard, but I'm trying my best. She's too embarrassed to say anything, hahaha~"

Chen Xun: "..."

He silently released the doorknob.

It turned out to be a legitimate massage.

You can't blame him for overthinking.

The soft moans she made just now were so captivating.

The main problem is that Wang Yu acts like a lovesick teenager in the dorm every night, which is driving him a bit crazy!

It's all Wang Yu's fault!

cough cough...

Chen Xun coughed and deliberately stomped his feet harder.

The layout of the second floor was not much different from when I last came. There were several rows of massage beds in the open space, meridian charts on the walls, and glass cabinets in the corners.

The only difference was that a strange young girl was lying on the massage bed in the middle, chatting with a female masseuse next to her with her face turned to the side.

The two heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs and turned around at the same time.

Chen Xun's gaze met the girl's.

The girl's face flushed red instantly, the redness spreading from the base of her neck all the way to her ears.

She probably remembered the sounds she had made earlier, and suddenly turned her head away, her back to Chen Xun, gripping the edge of the massage bed tightly with both hands.

Chen Xun pretended not to hear anything and walked straight to the massage bed next to him and sat down.

The middle-aged female massage therapist glanced at him, her brows furrowing slightly: "Young man, you are...?"

"I'm here for cupping. I came once before, in the evening, by an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor."

"Oh……"

The middle-aged woman suddenly realized and slapped her forehead: "You mean my dad! He went to eat noodles at the alley entrance, he'll be back in a bit. Please have a seat, I'll be done in a minute."

She continued to massage the girl, skillfully kneading her shoulder blades.

The girl lay face down on the bed, her face buried in the hole of the massage chair, only her bright red ear showing.

Chen Xun sat there blankly, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
