Chapter 104 Watching the Show
Zhu Jingchen looked at her awkward expression, and a smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth. His half-smile made it difficult to tell his true emotions.
Seeing this, the coach next to him finally spoke: "We already know your level."
This sentence somewhat dispersed the originally ambiguous and tense atmosphere.
After hearing this, Shen Yan finally woke up from her previous embarrassing state as if from a dream, and her thoughts slowly returned to normal.
She frowned and looked at the coach, her eyes filled with a hint of doubt and unwillingness: "Coach, at my level, can I still practice?"
After the sparring match with Zhu Jingchen in the boxing gym, she clearly realized that the gap in her current strength was too big.
If you want to improve and progress in a short period of time, systematic training is an inevitable task that cannot be delayed.
However, the only issue that made her a little worried and hesitant was whether the training fee would be too expensive and beyond her affordability.
The coaches who received her were two young people, one man and one woman.
The male coach looked to be in his early thirties, wearing sportswear, with a gentle and professional expression.
After listening to her consultation, he nodded and replied, "Of course you can practice."
He then added, "But since you're a girl, your body may not have been systematically trained at the beginning, so your ability to withstand high-intensity training may not be enough. I suggest you first work with Coach Wu Kaili to build your physical foundation. Once you have a solid foundation, it would be better to join us for the high-intensity classes."
After hearing this, Shen Yan recalled seeing several of their coaches practicing outside the glass wall.
It is simply impossible for her to accomplish that kind of movement range and resistance force alone.
So she nodded, accepted the coaches' arrangements, filled out the registration form on the spot, paid the fee, and officially registered.
The training time is set from 2pm to 8pm every Sunday, a total of six hours, divided into different courses.
After this matter was finally settled, walking on the way home, Shen Yan felt a little satisfied, but also a little distressed about her wallet.
She roughly understood the charging standards: group classes cost 30 yuan per two hours.
If you hire a private teacher for individual lessons, the cost per hour is 30 yuan.
That is to say, if her training includes two hours of group lessons and one hour of private lessons, the total cost will reach 60 yuan.
This is much more expensive than the usual cram school or hiring a tutor. An hour of tutoring by an ordinary cram school teacher at home only costs about 10 yuan.
When she was at home, she helped her classmate Li Tingting with her homework for an hour every night and charged only 10 yuan, which was a total of only 70 yuan a week.
In other words, her monthly training expenses will steadily increase to around one hundred and thirty or forty yuan.
This is not a small amount of money and is a considerable burden given her current financial situation.
But the consolation is that each of them has earned 2,100 yuan from the unexpected mission tonight, which temporarily relieves the financial pressure and at least they will not fall into trouble immediately.
On the way back to the manor, sitting in the passenger seat, Zhu Jingchen suddenly said to her: "I'm sorry for getting you hurt and causing my friends to misunderstand you about what happened in the boxing gym today."
She quickly shook her head and waved her hand to express her apology for rejecting him: "Don't say that, Brother Wei Qing. I took the initiative to ask you to practice with me."
"If I hadn't bothered you to introduce a coach and asked you to take me to the gym to meet someone, you wouldn't have been involved in those misunderstandings because of such a small matter."
"How could I possibly blame you? Not to mention that these were all decisions I made voluntarily."
She looked at him seriously and said, her tone sincere and unquestionable.
Originally, he didn't have to endure all these troubles. She brought it upon herself.
He actually didn't need to be involved in this matter at all, but because I insisted on dragging him along, I ended up causing him a lot of trouble for no reason.
He clearly did nothing wrong, but now he still feels embarrassed and even guilty about it.
Shen Yan felt more and more guilty, and even her eyes drooped unconsciously.
She felt extremely guilty, and thinking that the other party not only did not blame her, but apologized instead, made her even more uneasy.
Zhu Jingchen still said gently: "Anyway... I still caused you trouble."
The tone was calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary little thing, but to Shen Yan's ears, it was particularly harsh and difficult to accept.
It was over, it was over. The more he apologized, the more sorry she felt.
It was clearly me who repeatedly dragged him into trouble and implicated him, but he took all the blame on himself.
He clearly did nothing wrong, it was only because of my persistence that I dragged him along to help.
Thinking of this, Shen Yan felt even worse, and her expression became involuntarily embarrassed.
Shen Yan laughed dryly, trying to make herself look less serious, "Brother Wei Qing, let's just call it a draw."
After saying that, he grinned, trying to lighten the atmosphere and prevent the awkwardness from spreading any further.
"You took advantage of me a lot in the gym, and I also counterattacked a few times."
"You held my hand, and I patted your shoulder, so we're even now."
She muttered this to herself.
You pulled me and I touched you, no one owes anyone anything - she added this silently in her heart.
She wanted to use this half-joking way to ease the atmosphere between the two of them.
After hearing this, Zhu Jingchen looked at her, not reacting for a moment and not knowing what to say.
Faced with such teasing, Zhu Jingchen was obviously at a loss, with a trace of confusion on his face.
Song Xiaomei, who was standing aside, couldn't help but laugh softly, with a hint of teasing and anticipation in her laughter.
The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, her eyes curved into two crescents, and she couldn't hide her excitement.
Shen Yan looked at Song Xiaomei in confusion, "Xiaomei, what are you laughing at?"
She asked with a puzzled look on her face, completely unaware of how much the previous conversation sounded like a confession of affection.
Song Xiaomei glanced back and forth between the two of them, "It's really nothing~"
As she said this, her voice was tinged with ambiguity and her tone became soft.
Then she suddenly ran away, "I have to leave first because I'm in a hurry. You can go back slowly!"
With brisk steps, he turned a corner and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving the two standing there staring at each other awkwardly.
"I don't want to be the filling in the middle of a sandwich~" She muttered softly after running away.
Just as Shen Yan was about to chase after him to ask for clarification, Zhu Jingchen suddenly and gently grabbed her wrist.
His movements were not heavy, but he firmly blocked her way.
She didn't run out, so she could only stop and stand in front of him obediently.
The air seemed to stagnate for a moment, and the two of them were so close that they could clearly see each other's eyes.
