How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

Sun Min nodded. "That's true. You probably have the kind of physique that's naturally hard to gain weight, so exercising would be suitable for you to build muscle and gain weight... By the way, you're not even 18 yet, so this 'going to school' thing isn't......"

"Senior year of high school."

Xu Yan's calm reply made Sun Min gasp.

Spending 10,000 yuan to learn boxing at such a sensitive age? That's quite rare indeed.

Therefore, Sun Min confirmed Xu Yan's wishes again before signing the course purchase contract with him.

"Alright, let me warm you up, and then we'll get started right away. By the way, water and towels are provided free of charge to members here. Just let me know if you need them."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Sun."

The boxing gym didn't have as much equipment as a fitness center, and Sun Min's whole process seemed more professional than Xu Yan had expected. Originally, Xu Yan hadn't taken it seriously, treating it as just a task that needed to be dealt with.

But gradually, Xu Yan didn't find the process boring; in fact, he found it somewhat interesting.

Following Sun Min's instructions, he punched and kicked the correct spots, up, down, left, and right. Although the punches didn't land on flesh but on a soft mat, they seemed to still stimulate the instinctive violent tendencies in human genes.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Although Xu Yan doesn't yet have any set techniques, his enhanced physical strength, once solidified, is quite formidable.

Sun Min was a little suspicious after the beating, "Xiao Xu, have you trained before?"

The boy wiped the sweat from his forehead with a dry towel, thought for a moment, and replied, "I guess so, what's wrong, Sister Sun?"

Sun Min rubbed her slightly numb wrist. "It's okay... young people have a lot of energy."

"Sister Sun, don't say that. You're quite young too. Shall we go again?"

Sun Min was stunned for a moment, looking at the boy who seemed to be in high spirits and had amazing stamina despite sweating a lot.

"Um... it's only the first class, why don't you rest a bit more? There's no need to rush... you've already learned very quickly today, you need to digest it properly."

Boxing is a physically demanding activity, unlike regular fitness.

Every burst of energy tests your core strength and muscle reserves; it's safe to say that fighting is probably the most tiring sport in the world.

So after a while, Sun Min was actually a little tired, not to mention that Xu Yan was quite strong and a beginner.

If she doesn't stay focused, she'll definitely get hurt if she punches herself in the face.

"also."

Xu Yan felt a little disappointed. Was he forced to rest just as he was getting interested? He felt like he still had oil left.

Sun Min quickly changed the subject to divert the other person's attention, "By the way, shouldn't senior year students be focusing on studying? Why are you here boxing?"

Xu Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead. "There's no pressure in studying, and boys need to take good care of themselves when they're out."

Sun Min: ...

She chuckled awkwardly twice. "Indeed, Xiao Xu, with your good looks, it's not a problem for you to have some self-defense skills..."

After all, if such a young man were to encounter some kind of incident, it could be a loss for many women.

Sun Min, a true feminist, couldn't help but have this strange idea.

"Have you rested well?"

Xu Yan asked again.

Sun Min was taken aback, then stood up and said, "Um... I'm going to the restroom, I'll continue when I get back... You have some water first."

Xu Yan: ?

What do you mean, "I'll get a drink of water while you go to the toilet"? You're not that old, are you?

"Ok."

Sun Min wasn't actually that weak; she genuinely needed to urinate, probably because she had drunk too much water when she saw Xu Yan pay 1.

Xu Yan was about to take out his phone to scroll through some videos out of boredom.

Suddenly I heard, "Do you find boxing tiring?"

The tone of the voice felt strangely familiar, but when Xu Yan subconsciously looked up, he saw an unfamiliar face.

cold.

My first impression was of that coldness that permeated his demeanor.

And then...

good looking.

It's hard to describe how beautiful it is.

Some of her narrow eyes, which should have given her a cold or even harsh look, seemed to be sculpting the curves of her proud temperament.

Even with a few beads of sweat on her forehead, her delicate features couldn't diminish her beauty.

She was definitely older than me, but not in the mature, sophisticated way; more accurately, she was a stunningly mature, sophisticated woman.

The tight-fitting sports top she was wearing accentuated her figure perfectly, showing off her curves in every way, and her skin was also remarkably fair and delicate.

But... I don't recognize him.

He found the other person's statement strange, and his eyes revealed doubt.

But the woman didn't seem inclined to explain. She simply looked down at Xu Yan, who was sitting in the chair, as if waiting for his reply.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yan replied, "It's alright, not as tiring as I imagined."

The woman nodded, and in front of Xu Yan, she put her red boxing gloves back on, saying, "In that case, shall we have a fight?"

"Me and you?"

"Correct."

Shu Ying spoke calmly, but the fire in her eyes did not go out.

"Mr. Shu, I'm so sorry! My child is sick, it happened so suddenly, and no one's home right now, I..."

"...I understand. You go ahead and get busy. I'll practice by myself."

"Thank you, Mr. Shu! This lesson doesn't count; I owe you one!"

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. Family is more important."

Watching Coach Su leave in a hurry, full of gratitude, Shu Ying was actually quite unhappy.

However, not venting one's anger on innocent people has been a quality one has cultivated over the years.

The sudden interruption of sparring meant that after throwing a few punches at the sandbag alone, she lost interest.

Sitting in a chair, drinking water with unfocused eyes, doesn't necessarily mean that you can clear your mind and find peace. Instead, you might recall annoying things and create more troubles.

For example, Shu Ying would recall what happened this afternoon.

"I told you, you shouldn't come to the company so often. There's already enough gossip going on."

Her words were hardly tactful; given the other person's intelligence, they would definitely understand.

But the man in front of him, dressed in a suit and tie, with a good physique and a youthful appearance, though actually middle-aged, maintained that smile that seemed incomprehensible.

"I didn't come here just to see you. Weren't we here to talk about work? Xiaoying, you're taking it too seriously."

"Me, care? Don't play dumb. I've already told you not to think about those things. You may not care about your pride, but I do!"

"Xiaoying...you really don't need to be so hostile towards me. We're family after all."

Hard to imagine.

He could be said to be someone who has achieved great success and fame, and he would say such things to his own face.

I've even thought my sister has found a good husband...

Perhaps a long time has passed, but she really can't accept some ideas being directed at her, and it has nothing to do with what kind of person he is.

"Forget about it. Shutong is still living with me. How can you have the nerve to do that?"

She tried her best to remain calm, attempting to convey that they still had a shred of dignity to maintain.

But when faced with the name on his own lips...

The man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window remained silent for only a moment, less than a minute, before smiling at me.

"After all these years, Shutong needs a new home. I've already talked to Dad about it, and he's not really against it..."

"boom!"

She slammed her boxing-gloved hand into the ground.

Even the veins on his forehead were noticeably visible.

Shameless.

She got up, wanting to leave and go downstairs or to the neighborhood near her home for a martini... no, maybe more than just one.

As soon as I stepped out of that cubicle, before I even got anything to change into, I saw Sun Min hurrying towards the toilet, muttering to herself as she went.

"Young people have amazing stamina..."

Good physical strength?

Is this a serious boxing practice?

She couldn't help but turn her head to look in that direction, and saw a handsome young man with a few drops of sweat on his hair.

It has to be said that guys like this are very attractive to women.

Too young, not at all effeminate, and even now, with his slightly out-of-breath breathing and the way his muscles ripple... to be honest, he's kind of pleasing to the eye.

Shu Ying didn't know what she was thinking at that moment.

Perhaps I was overwhelmed by the anger and frustration of the day, or perhaps the tangled mess in my heart needed something new to untangle it.

In short, she changed direction and walked towards the boy.

"Let's have a fight."

Seeing his slightly puzzled look, Shu Ying said this.
