Chapter 246: Guidance
Translator: TransNEditor: TransN
Standing beside the window and watching Lou Cheng disappear at the end of the road, Yan Zheke lightly bit her lips and held back the impulse to follow him out. Then she tore her eyes away from him and sniffed cutely which helped her take in the scent of fried rice with eggs all over the room.
She picked up the phone and her mouth curved into a smile unconsciously. Her fingers quickly moved across the keyboard to send a message to her boyfriend who just went away, "It's all your fault! Now, whenever I close my eyes, I would think of fried rice with eggs!"
Because the overnight cold rice had been used by Lou Cheng to make two portions of breakfast for the two of them. They could only use freshly steamed rice to learn the dish. This would not allow them to make the dish with its crucial essence. Nonetheless, with the basic skills she had learned, they were sufficient for her to make a decent dish.
In a minute, she received Lou Cheng's reply:
"Hehe, whenever I close my eyes, I would think of the dishes of fried rice with eggs which were burnt."
Yan Zheke's cheek suddenly blushed and she pursed her mouth. Then she typed on the keyboard with her bright eyes and gnashing teeth,
"Pervert, pervert, you're a big pervert!"
She walked into the study room in light footsteps and opened the computer to log on the monitoring system. She then began to look through the videos for any trace of Lou Cheng. She intended to format all of them for the fear that it would leave any trace of his visit.
It was the most difficult to defend against home thieves!
It is not a big deal that thieves come to steal Pak Choi from home. What matters is the Pak Choi wants to go with the thief!
When Yan Zheke watched how Lou Cheng held his martial arts shoes and sneaked upstairs with caution, Yan Zheke pursed her mouth and smiled. Then she held the chin with the hand which was not grasping the mouse and began to watch the video seriously. It was like she had forgotten the original purpose.
There was no monitor in the bedroom, so the scene on the screen quickly switched to the kitchen. As she was looking at Lou Cheng wearing pajamas and started the stove with familiarity, whisked eggs and fried the rice, she found herself standing beside him and busy weighing spices with the balance for children. She slightly changed her posture. She held her cheeks with a single hand and her eyes became softer and softer, like gentle ripples on the surface of the lake. Her heart was so warm and filled with love.
When she watched how the two of them were sitting together to enjoy their breakfast like a pair of newly married couple, Yan Zheke shyly mumbled to herself and clicked the "stop" button. She ran upstairs, went back to her own room and found her hard disk with a large capacity.
I have to copy all the videos with Cheng and keep them!
She observed as the files were copied one by one. She could not help but laugh when she saw that Lou Cheng was squatting next to the refrigerator with the bowls and chopsticks in his hands. She would also blush and was touched to tears when she saw how she and Lou Cheng kissed so passionately that they forgot about their dish and burnt it.
Even though she looked through the videos very quickly, she managed to find a lot of details which she did not feel earlier. For example, when they were kissing, Lou Cheng's hands were stroking her back. He wanted to move it to the front several times, but he held them back.
"Pervert..." she cursed him a sentence. She looked like happy and a little annoyed at the same time.
He really wants me, and he also really respects me...
But why do boys always like that kind of thing?
As her mind was wondering and straying off topic, near the main door, there was the sound of the door being unlocked by a fingerprint.
Yan Zheke sobered up in an instant. She quickly copied the remaining monitoring videos to her own hard drive and formatted the rest.
After finishing all of these, she turned off the computer and walked out of the study. She greeted the aunts with a smile,
"Aunt Huang, please prepare three more meals this afternoon. I've a few friends coming over, and one of them is a professional fighter. They all love steamed carp made by you~"
Three of my best friends, Song Li, Gu Shuang, Xing Jingjing will come to my home later because they want to interrogate me about the secret love relationship with my boyfriend.
"Well, okay. I'll go shopping now." The aunt, who was in charge of cooking, answered with a smile.
Yan Zheke held her happy emotions, then she pretended to say inadvertently,
"Well, there is a lot of fried rice with eggs in the kitchen. Just throw them away. They were just practice dishes. "
...
The sunshine in the afternoon came into the room through the window which made the living room very hot. While Zhao Zijun was sitting on the sofa with his hand holding the air conditioning remote control, he did not turn it on for quite a while. It seemed that he was thinking about something.
"Old Zhao?" Huang Qiang walked out holding the dishes and said to him quizzically, "Didn't I asked you to turn on the air conditioner? What are you thinking about?"
Because their workplaces were close to their home and Huang Qun's work was a little more relaxed, both of them would come back to have lunch at noon.
Zhao Zijun sighed and smiled wryly, "I'm thinking about the kid from the Lou family... Although I can't find any relationship between Commissioner Xing and him, I still think he has a bright future even if we just think about his ability. As long as he doesn't meet with any accident, he would become rich one day! "
He had already checked out the basic information of Lou Cheng.
Huang Qun hesitated and said, "So do we need to want to let Qianqian meet with Lou Yuanwei again? The boy seems to be a good person and the Lou's family is going to be rich later..."
"No! Never consider this matter. I've been a police for so many years and caught so many criminals. So I'm good at judging people." Zhao Zijun vetoed his wife's proposal immediately, "Lou Yuanwei is good in other aspects, but he's too impatient, too proud, too unstable and never be able to do things steadfastly. It's difficult for people to change their temper. So even if his younger brother does well in the future, ultimately it's still hard for his brother to take care of his own life."
"Well, then why do you think about Lou Cheng? He's still in college!" Huang Qun asked him gruffly.
Zhao Zijun stood up and walked towards the table. He pondered, "Even if we needn't ask him for help right now, it's still necessary for us to develop a good relationship with him. Better be safe than sorry, Lou Zhisheng and I have been friends from a young age. So we should contact him more and more in the future and develop a better relationship with his family. In the future, if we really need help, it would be better for us to ask for their help directly instead of going through Lou Yuanwei!"
"You, ah, you have been considering these things for years!" Huang Qun shook her head.
Zhao Zijun sat down at the table. He ridiculed himself and laughed, "I didn't understand these things before, so I have always struggled. In recent years, I only began to understand that management is really important..."
...
In a smaller practicing court of Gushan Martial Arts School,
Lou Cheng held his arms and looked thoughtfully at Qin Rui striking every movement.
Still stance was not a martial arts skill that people could master in one hour. After one hour of individual guidance, the fighters should practice hard day after day. Occasionally if Qin Rui had some doubts, Lou Cheng would reply casually so that Qin Rui would not waste too much money in this aspect.
The focus of one hour of individual guidance was on the correction of his playing style!
Chu Weicai was a real Professional Ninth Pin fighter and had mastered the fighting style of some schools, like Huxing (tiger form tactic). So the playing style and martial arts he taught had no problem. However, he was getting older and lacked energy. The opportunity and the number of students he could teach was limited. So most of the time, he still needed the help of Dai Linfeng.
Under such a situation, Qin Rui's exerting skills, footwork and punches were fairly good. But, if he were to put his style into specific use linked to different movements, there would be some problems. This was because he was more than 1.9 meters tall and had long arms and long legs. Hence he must adjust a lot of styles correspondingly to link them more fluently and more naturally. However, no one had ever pointed this out to him before.
"Well, you should adjust Downward Cut in Tiger-hug Posture like this so that you can fit in the following changes." Lou Cheng nodded to express his approval.
Qin Rui smiled bitterly, "But playing like this makes me feel very uncomfortable."
"Any changes that you have to make to habits are uncomfortable. You should practice more so that these adjustments turn into habits eventually." Lou Cheng answered with a smile.
One person taught while the other practiced. Time went by quickly, Qin Rui was starting to be familiar with the fighting styles which were adjusted. Lou Cheng's abilities sincerely convinced him.
"Hey, if I mastered these, maybe I even could surprise Brother Dai." Qin Rui said smugly.
Lou Cheng only laughed and did not comment further. People have to try something on their own so that they could know how big the gap is between professional people and themselves.
Lou Cheng waited for Qin Rui to leave, before he drank the remaining soup tat he brought and began his own practice.
When he was thinking of the urgent and clear small target at noon, Lou Cheng felt that breath was crossing in the chest which made him full of power. His mind was filled with thunderclouds, and something muffled like a song in his abdomen. He then compressed his muscles and punched out a fist and kicked with sound like wind and thunder.
This time, the effect that he polished his power was getting better and gained twice the results for half the effort.
However, he still didn't find his own martial arts will, to put it more accurately, he simply could not figure out what martial arts will was?
I didn't lack the will about the desire for victory, the will about persistence, or the will about holding the minds to enjoy life. But still, what really is the martial arts will?
Because Lou Cheng was confused, he finished his tempering and decided to call his master for guidance!
"Hey, brat, what kind of problem do you encounter this time?" Geezer Shi coughed once.
Lou Cheng honestly replied, "Master, I would like to ask you about what the martial arts will really is."
"Ke, this is a good question." Geezer Shi laughed.
He had been waiting for this kind of questions from his apprentice for a long time!
To offer to teach this smelly boy is different from waiting to be consulted, the latter will be cooler, hahaha!
He paused, then he said leisurely, "To put it more clearly, it's to practice your heart and mind. Only the person with clear mind and strong will could control their own body, control the subtle points, could influence the Spirit, the qi and blood and the force and have a try to withdraw the power. This is similar to the feeling when you master the meditation, just the latter can't be used in the fight. That's why I told you that you would achieve the Dan stage much easier than other fighters based on the meditation."
"As for how to have a clear mind and strong will and how to control the martial arts will, different fighters in different factions have their understanding and their own way. Also, they aren't the same. As for me, because I have a close relationship with the military power, I have my own understanding related with them. To take them as an example, do you know what the biggest difference between the recent army and the modern army is?"
"I don't know." Lou Cheng knew little about this area.
Geezer Shi answered very seriously this time, "The recent army makes the soldiers into the paralysis with strict discipline and brutal punishment so that they fear the military rules over the death. However, the reason why the modern army dares to face death directly is that they understand what they are fighting for! "
"Because they understand what they are fighting for and they realize how much they are willing to pay for this goal, the army which has created several miracles is able to finish the great Long March, can have the will as hard as steel, and still go forward even when they encountered so many troubles. Neither because they are born to be great, nor because they are all monsters!"
"A lot of people always want to the spirit of the Long March and learn the will that the long march only affords. Lol, it is the understanding which only stays on the surface instead of getting to know the essence. They dare not or are unwilling to ask why it is this army that finish this great action rather than other armies. The source of their strength, spirit, and will is that they know what they are fighting for!"
Hearing his sentences, Lou Cheng was very shocked because he did not see this matter from this point of view. He still murmured until the master hung up the phone,
"What am I fighting for?"
