Luo Jing stared blankly at the wax pills in Wu Tianqing's hand. Her son said that if each of them took one, her two babies would be cured.
This statement is like a secret book written in the heavens, so unbelievable, yet as tempting as candy in the hands of a villain.
She wanted to believe, so she reached out and took them. They were only the size of a thumb, very light, yet heavy.
"Take it an hour after meals. The full effect of the medicine will be digested in a week. After a week, I will arrange for Zhengzheng and Shen Shen to have a check-up."
"good."
That night, both Wu Tianqing and Luo Jing tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Pushing through the sea of people in the cafeteria, Su Hao placed his plate opposite Tu Du with a clatter, a sweet and sour pork rib still dangling from his mouth. "I wonder what Yuan Zhuan has been up to. She's been on leave for over a week. The mock exam is coming up soon, and she's missing so much class time. If she doesn't do well, isn't she afraid the teacher will send her back to the third grade?"
Tu Du ate in silence, his long, curled eyelashes drooping, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"Hey, do you think Yuan Zhuan is sick, so..."
This time, Tu Du paused, his hand still holding the food in his chopsticks. "Do you know where she lives?"
"I don't know. But I do know, hehe."
"Um?"
"We filled out our own files before, which included our family information. After the class monitor collected them, he asked me to take them to the teacher's office. I was dragged there and scolded this morning. I saw that the file was still in the same place, untouched. Hehe."
Is it something to be proud of to be scolded? Why are you laughing so happily?
Tu Du snorted irritably, "I'll wait for you after school."
Su Hao glared at him. "I thought you didn't want it."
"We're all classmates. We should care about each other."
Su Hao: ...
I believed your lies.
Yuan Zhuan was organizing the talismans behind the warehouse, bundling them into bundles of one hundred, intending to exchange them that evening. He had a clear idea of the amount.
"Zhuanzhuan, your classmate is here to play with you," came Aunt Liu's voice.
"Huh?" Classmate?
Yuan Zhuan didn't react for a moment until he saw two boys, one tall and one short, below the steps.
The setting sun cast its light on the boy's handsome face, as if covering his pale skin with a golden-red glow. His blue and white school uniform shirt and black trousers, along with his slender figure, made him look like a beautiful painting just by standing there.
"My goodness, this child is so handsome!" Aunt Liu's voice was quite penetrating.
Cough cough cough...
Embarrassing...
"Hey, Yuan Zhuan, what about me? Why do you only ever see Adu?" Su Hao was furious and opened his mouth to get attention.
Tu Du smiled and glanced at Su Hao. "You haven't been to school. We found out the address of your family's shop from your homeroom teacher, so we came over to try our luck."
"I, cough cough... wait a minute, I'll be right out, I'll take you to my house." Yuan Zhuan was embarrassed about the fact that he had stared at the people in a daze, so he made an excuse to pack his things and went into the inner room.
Tu Du pursed his lips, pulled Su Hao aside, and went to wait by the shop.
"Hey, classmate, come, sit down, have some candy. This is the best fruit-flavored candy that Zhuanzhuan's family sells. It's all made with natural ingredients, and it's so delicious. Try some." Aunt Liu brought out two small stools and a plate of candy, her eyes shining as she looked at Tu Du.
This child is so handsome, so very handsome, even more handsome than her son Lele.
The two thanked her politely, took the chairs, and sat down. Aunt Liu then placed the plate of candy in Tu Du's lap. "Excuse me, are you my daughter Zhuan Zhuan's classmate? How old are you this year? I..."
"Aunt Liu, we still have to go back and do our homework together. You go ahead and do your work. Tu Du, Su Hao, we're leaving now..." Seeing that Aunt Liu was about to start the family tree investigation, Yuan Zhuan didn't dare to delay. He put the things into the system and quickly came out.
As for the curious looks from the young and old duo, Yuan Zhuan gave them a sharp look and said, "If you keep looking, you won't get any food."
The two, young and old, turned their heads in unison, but we didn't see anything.
Of course, Yuan Zhuan couldn't be brought home; there were so many people in her family, it would be really difficult for her to explain.
"Let's go to my brother's company. There's a boxing gym there. Do you want to check it out?"
"want!"
"I want to see it too!"
This time, Tu Du and Su Hao reached a consensus.
The receptionist saw Yuan Zhuan and was about to come forward when Yuan Zhuan waved her away. The receptionist glanced knowingly at the boy behind her, looked surprised for a moment, and then returned to her original position.
"Wow, Yuan Zhuan, is your brother's family really rich? They even own a company, Yuan's Security. Hmm, that's a cool name. But your family actually owns a security company?" Su Hao was curious about everything and looked around.
"Fortunately, if you walk further in, you'll find a boxing gym."
The sounds of fierce fighting quickened the pace of the three.
Pushing open the heavy door, the sounds of fists pounding into the ground became even clearer. Accompanied by shouts of encouragement, Tu Du and Su Hao felt the scene shift before their eyes, and they saw a vibrant scene of nearly a hundred people engrossed in training.
They were all dressed in white vests and military green training pants. Their clothes and hair were soaked with sweat, but they showed no signs of fatigue. The muscles in their arms were strong and powerful. Each of them looked energetic and full of vitality, as if they had inexhaustible energy.
"My God, that's amazing!" Su Hao exclaimed in amazement.
Tu Du stared intently at the sparring matches on the training field, the sight of people sweating profusely making his heart race.
Which young person doesn't dream of being a martial arts hero?
Even though he is reserved, he still loves this adrenaline-pumping fighting.
"Your classmate?" Cao Ming saw that Yuan Zhuan had brought people over, and then he remembered that Yuan Zhuan was still a student, a primary school student.
If you hadn't experienced it firsthand, who would have thought that the founder of this security company was actually the elementary school student in front of you?
As for him, well, he's an honest, hardworking man.
"Hmm. If they want to learn, I plan to have them come over after school." The fact that Tu Du is bullied is partly due to his fighting ability.
If you are strong enough, you won't be bullied. Even if you have to endure it, having the strength to fight can protect you from injury to the greatest extent possible.
"Who are you planning to have teach us? Angkor?"
"We'll see, they might not necessarily learn it."
"Tu Du, Su Hao, this is my brother, you can just call him Brother Mingzi." Yuan Zhuan pulled Cao Ming over and introduced him.
"Brother Mingzi," Tu Du and Su Hao said in unison.
"Hello," Cao Ming replied with a smile. "There are chairs over there; you can sit there and watch."
"Okay, Mingzi." Tu Du could tell that Mingzi probably wanted to talk to Yuan Zhuan. After all, they were both boys, and it was normal for their families to be strict with them.
He pulled Su Hao around the backstage area and went to the benches.
Wow, the young man is quite handsome and has a good eye for talent.
"You're quite good-looking, little classmate."
"fine."
Although Tu Du was watching the game the whole time, he would occasionally glance in the direction of Yuan Zhuan. He saw the man with the strongest aura in the arena walking towards Yuan Zhuan.
Wu Tianqing came over to say hello and told Yuan Zhuan and Cao Ming that he had already taken the medicine.
"Okay, I'll arrange a medical check-up next week," Cao Ming said.
They stayed at the boxing gym for almost an hour, until everyone else had finished get off work, before Yuan Zhuan and the other two headed back.
"Wow, Yuan Zhuan, you have so many security guards at home. If you get bullied, they'll all be your helpers. My god, wouldn't that be incredibly cool? My goodness..." Throughout the journey, there was hardly a moment of silence. Su Hao, the chatterbox, kept marveling at how awesome boxing was.
"You two, do you want to come and learn? Tuition is free."
"Huh?" Su Hao's nonsense stopped abruptly, his eyes wide open, he could hardly believe his ears.
Tu Du stared intently at Yuan Zhuan, "Is that alright?"
The latter nodded, “If you’re willing, you can come and train with me. I’ll just tell my brother. We usually get out of school at five, and it takes about twenty minutes to get here. They get off work at six, so you’ll have forty minutes to train with me. If your stamina improves later, I can help you book a private coach.”
"How much does it cost for private coaching?" This was something both Tu Du and Su Hao wanted to know.
"Let's talk about it after you graduate from junior high school. With your current physical strength, it will take at least three years for you to finish the training. We'll talk about the rest later. If you have time on weekends, you can come to train. If you're willing, it'll cost you 50 cents a day to eat in the cafeteria with everyone. It's from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m."
"Five cents a day? Really?" Su Hao couldn't believe it. Three or four yuan a day for three meals at school, and here it only cost five cents?
"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out by trying."
The two escorted Yuan Zhuan to the vicinity of the shop. "Yuan Zhuan, are you going to school tomorrow?"
"Go." The mock exam is coming up soon. If you skip class again, your homeroom teacher will get angry.
"Okay, let's have lunch together tomorrow."
"good."
