"Wei! This is Su Ke!"
After he had settled Hong Chen down, Su Ke headed home and lay on his bed, before immediately calling Zheng Mo. After the call connected, there was only silence.
"You, are you home?" After a time, Zheng Mo's voice came out. It was audible and because she had cried a lot just now, her voice was a bit hoa.r.s.e.
"En, I'm home. You must've been so scared today!" When he thought of Zheng Mo's teary face, Su Ke's voice became even more gentle.
"As long as you're fine, Su Ke!" Zheng Mo seemed to want to speak but stayed silent. Just as Su Ke was going to open his mouth, he suddenly heard, "That girl!"
Zheng Mo returned back to her dormitory and was completely preoccupied. Half due to the huge shock she suffered and the other half was guessing the relations.h.i.+p between Su Ke and that girl. Thinking about the scene where Su Ke carried the girl as he left, she didn't know why she felt a sense of jealousy.
"Hong Chen ah! She's my friend; didn't you hear about me catching a thief in the news? The one who videoed me was Hong Chen. Because of that incident, we got to know each other. She went to Jin Se Hua Nian to get some information. That's right, she's a journalist!"
When Su Ke was speaking, he also felt that everything was variable yet interlinked. When he b.u.mped into Hong Chen this time and saved her, it was fate!
"Is that so? Zheng Mo's voice seemed to have relaxed. "Su Ke, I'm a little tired so I'll head to bed first. You should sleep early too!"
Once she knew that the relations.h.i.+p between Su Ke and Hong Chen wasn't what she thought it was, Zheng Mo breathed out in relief. Her body felt exhausted and her eyes drooped.
"En, sweet dreams!" Su Ke hung up and lay on his bed. His heart trembled as he accepted the 1000 RMB reward.
"This amount of money is enough to buy Mom a necklace!" Su Ke turned and sat up, 1000 RMB in hand and walked to his desk. All his money was placed together and there was around 6000 acc.u.mulatively. Thinking that it had been less than half a month to his mother's birthday, the money on the table should be enough.
As he mumbled to himself, he suddenly realised that the arm which was. .h.i.t by the pipe was no longer hurting; he felt surprised.
He felt around and slowly realised that inside his body was a slight stream of continuously moving energy. It not just energised him but also healed some of his injuries.
His hands clenched into fists; his bones seem fine. He tested out 2 punches, both of which made some whistling sounds. Unconsciously, he began thinking of the situation in Zhang Wen Long's bedroom. He was like a madman, completely ignoring the possible consequences. Even after that, he broke one waiter's arm. Just thinking about it scared him.
Almost after he got Jeet Kune Do, his temper seemed to be more explosive, taking more violent actions. "But it was because I was too angry then!"
Su Ke could only comfort himself like this Luckily, nothing bad happened in the end, if not things would have been very bad! When he recalled that strong urge to kill Zhang Wen Long, he felt very frightened by it.
Helplessly, he ignored it and used his hands to press against his cheeks to suppress the violent emotion. At this moment, he could feel that the weak flow of energy in his body should be the 《Daoist School's Twelve Movements》(1).
He didn't think this 《Daoist School's Twelve Movements》would have this use. After going through the entire thing and it felt so refres.h.i.+ng. His entire body felt energised. When he went back to bed, he fell asleep quickly.
On Monday, it was very busy because it was going to be the year-end exams. Everyone became more focused. Even in between cla.s.ses, they were very quiet.
Su Ke was no exception. Even though he was very confident in these exams, but to be safe, he also revised very seriously.
One entire day, until the end of school. Su Ke went home with Su Ke on their bicycles.
"How's your revision? As a member of the study committee, Wei Lan was very concerned with Su Ke's studies, not to mention the bet.
"He he, everything's fine!" Su Ke smiled at Wei Lan as he pedalled. His delicate cheeks had a bright smile exuding confidence.
"Alright! Stop boasting!" Wei Lan snorted. The more Su Ke spoke, the more it seemed like he was bluffing. After all, his past grades were horrendous. Even if he did his best, he wouldn't surpa.s.s her. Her dimples came out when she spoke, which made her cuter.
"Eh! You don't need to attack me like this!" Black lines covered his forehead. No matter what, his foundation was bad. What his results would be like, he only knew that he would make a huge improvement. Whether he could overtake Wei Lan, only time would tell.
"If I really overtake you, then don't forget the bet!"
"Bet? What bet?? Wei Lan squinted, puzzled.
"Ya! You forgot! You already said that if I beat you, you'd let me kiss you!" Su Ke blurted out anxiously.
This was not just a first kiss but also related to the reward of High School Science Proficiency (Intermediate) reward! If he didn't get this reward, he wouldn't be able to master it!
"Tch, stop dreaming!" Wei Lan pouted and stared at Su Ke's gloomy face. She actually felt a bit happy. She turned and face forward, then murmured, "If someone really beats me, I'll definitely keep my word!"
"Hei hei, wait for it!" While they spoke, they already reached Wei Lan's house. Seeing Wei Lan blus.h.i.+ng as she walked upstairs, Su Ke shook his head and gave a goofy smile.
"Eh! Right, I still need to go with Hong Chen to Jin Se Hua Nian to grab some stuff!" SU Ke placed the bike directly onto the road. Yesterday, Hong Chen remembered that her clothes and belongings were still locked inside Jin Se Hua Nian. However, she didn't dare go alone so she could only ask Su Ke to go with her.
He prayed that nothing would happen today! Su Ke felt that the lesson he gave Zhang Wen Long yesterday was enough. Also, he even had Ma Meng come out. However, nothing was permanent so it was better to be prepared.
(1): Changed the previous name of this to Twelve Movements instead of Duan Brocades because I think this represents the meaning better and clearer
