Chapter 404 He gave me the balloon
Guan Xia only observed for a while and soon felt bored. She sat back on the sofa in the reception area, enjoying snacks while watching TV series.
It was not until Guan Xia felt some pain in her cervical spine and looked at the time that she realized it was almost dark.
The girl at the front desk poured her another glass of water and looked curiously into the fitness area.
Guan Xia took it and took a sip, then followed her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"
The little girl said excitedly, "Sister Lele is going to be on stage today. I heard that her opponent is from the same school as Sister Lele."
The little girl looked around and saw that there were no one around. She moved closer and added quietly, "It seems I chased after Sister Lele before, but I didn't catch up."
Guan Xia hadn't expected to encounter such a Shura scene while playing here. She opened her eyes wide in surprise, "So exciting?"
The little girl nodded vigorously, ran out of the unopened bag of melon seeds and stuffed them into Guan Xia's arms, then grabbed her and said, "I've found someone to take my place. Come on, Sister Xia, let's go watch the fun."
Guan Xia didn't have time to grab her hiking pole and was forced to stand up, nearly falling. The little girl then remembered and hurriedly supported her, "I'm sorry, Sister Xia, I forgot. I'll support you and we'll walk slowly. There's still time. Sister Lele is still changing clothes."
Guan Xia used the little girl's strength to steady his body, and moved in with melon seeds in one hand and a trekking pole in the other. After taking a few steps, he suddenly felt a focused gaze on him.
Guan Xia didn't sense any malice, but the gaze was too obvious, and she felt it almost immediately.
Guan Xia turned around and found a huge figure standing at the door of the gym. The person was wearing a thick panda doll costume and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman. He met Guan Xia's curious gaze, shook his huge head, and handed over a green dinosaur balloon with his left hand.
It was the first time that a stranger gave her a balloon. Guan Xia was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the panda doll was handed forward again, she walked over to take it.
The balloon was sent out successfully, and the panda doll shook its head again, then slowly walked away along the corridor.
"Hey, why did he leave?" The little girl looked at the dinosaur balloon carefully. "This year's store anniversary balloons are pretty good-looking. I was planning to ask him for one. He left so quickly."
Seeing that the little girl really liked it, Guan Xia handed it to her and said, "Here you go."
The girl waved her hand and said, "Forget it. The store celebration will last for three days. I'll get another one after work. Let's go, Sister Xia. It's about to start."
Guan Xia tied the balloon string around her wrist so that she could use the trekking pole, and then followed the little girl in to watch the fun.
At this point, most people have already gotten off work. As time passes, the competition has not yet started, but the gym is already very lively.
The place was bustling with people, both acquaintances and strangers, gathered in groups of three or four to chat. Guan Xia was infected by the atmosphere and a look of anticipation appeared on her face.
A few minutes later, Guan Xia saw Pang Le, wearing only a vest and shorts, walking slowly from the other end, and jumped onto the ring in a few steps.
Standing in the corner at the other end of the ring was a tall, muscular young man. He didn't look outstanding, but his smile was full of youthful vigor. He put on his boxing gloves and greeted Pang Le with a bright smile, "Senior Sister, we meet again."
Pang Le stepped into the ring and gave the man a cold look. "Why are you here again? Did Pang Qi ask you to come?"
The man was not affected by Pang Le's dislike at all, and continued to smile with his white teeth showing, "No, I came here by myself. I have something to do and will stay in Yongquan City for a week, so I just came to fight with you."
Pang Le's eyes fell on the bruise at the corner of the man's mouth and he raised his eyebrows. "You come to me in this state and still want to fight me. I think you haven't been beaten enough."
The man put on his full set of equipment and waved at Pang Le provocatively, "It's still unclear who will get beaten. Sister, please don't underestimate me. Master said I've made great progress recently."
Pang Le was too lazy to pay attention to him. He sneered, put on his equipment and rushed towards him.
The fight was going on up top, and the people below were excited and bustling. Guan Xia was an outsider and couldn't understand Pang Le and the others' moves, but judging from the number of times he was hit, it was obvious that Pang Le's former pursuer was slightly inferior to Pang Le. Except for the beginning when they were evenly matched, he was suppressed by Pang Le for the next two-thirds of the time.
Guan Xia has known Pang Le for two years, but this is the first time she has seen her so violent and ruthless. It makes Guan Xia's blood boil from the bottom of her heart, and she can't help but get goosebumps from excitement.
Guan Xia was staring intently when her arm was suddenly touched.
Turning her head slightly, Guan Xia saw the girl at the front desk pouting, "Sister Xia, look."
Guan Xia followed the little girl's gaze and saw a man standing by the pillar, also staring intently, his eyes seeming to be shining. It was Lawyer Shi.
"It looks like Shi Lu is going to be taken down," the little girl said, her eyes curved with laughter. "As expected, only when someone fights for it will you get anxious. Sister Lele's junior brother really came at the perfect time."
Guan Xia didn't say anything, her eyes looked at Pang Le who was shining brightly on the ring again, but she had a different opinion in her heart. Although she had no experience in love, she could see that Shi Lu was moved. But she thought it was not because he felt a sense of crisis because someone was competing with him, but because she saw Pang Le's different but more attractive side. Even if she was of the same sex, she couldn't help but be fascinated by such a Pang Le.
The sparring match ended in just ten minutes. Pang Le looked at the man who had been lying on the floor for a long time and couldn't get up. He patted his shoulder and stood up proudly. "If you want to beat me, go practice for another ten years, brother."
The man laughed a few times and stretched out a hand towards Pang Le. "Senior sister is still so powerful. I admire you. But I won't give up. Senior sister, wait. I will come to fight you next time."
Pang Le was just about to reach out to pull him, but upon hearing this, he slapped his hand in annoyance. He turned around and saw Guan Xia jumping off the stage. He put his hand on Guan Xia's shoulder and smiled evilly, "How about it, beauty? Isn't my sister handsome and beautiful? Are you fascinated by me, beauty?"
Guan Xia suddenly revealed an expression of disbelief and threw the hand off her shoulder, "Speak properly."
Pang Le was serious for a second, but when he saw the dinosaur balloon tied to Guan Xia's wrist, he couldn't help laughing again, "What's going on? How come I didn't know you were still so childish?" He patted the balloon as if he was irritated.
Guan Xia really liked this kind of cute thing, and fearing that Pang Le would explode, she quickly untied the rope and said, "This is a gift from someone wearing a giant panda doll costume. If you like it, I'll go with you to get another one later."
Pang Le chased the balloon and patted it again, moving his shoulders. "Forget it, except for men who can make me take the initiative, I am too lazy to bother with other things."
Guan Xiahe sneered.
Pang Le's fingers were itching to move, and he couldn't help but pinch Guan Xia's face quickly. Before Guan Xia got angry, he quickly let go and changed the subject as if nothing had happened, "It's time for dinner. You must be hungry. I'll go change my clothes and we'll go out to eat."
Pang Le turned around and saw Lawyer Shi who had walked behind them at some point.
Lawyer Shi first raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded to Guan Xia and the girl at the front desk, then looked down at Pang Le, his expression becoming a little gentler, "Would you like to have dinner together tonight? I just finished a case and I have time these days."
Pang Le glanced at Guan Xia and smiled, "You should have heard it just now. I'm going to have dinner with my friends tonight."
"What about tomorrow?" Lawyer Shi asked.
"What a coincidence," Pang Le replied with a smile, "I'm not free recently. Wait a few days, I'll contact you when I have time."
Lawyer Shi's smiling mouth suddenly darkened a little, looking a little unhappy, but in the end he said nothing and just nodded, "Then I'll wait for your call."
Watching Lawyer Shi walk away, Guan Xia was a little curious. "I finally got him, and you're rejecting him now? Is it because of me? It's okay. I can stay at your house and not go out. You can go on a date with him without worrying about me."
"That won't do," Pang Le retracted his gaze. "No man is more important than a friend. What's more, things that are too easy to obtain will not be cherished. So I have to talk to him again before taking the next step."
Guan Xia knew her own limitations and naturally wouldn't offer any rash advice. She pushed Pang Le and said, "Alright, as long as you know what's going on, go change your clothes. I'm hungry."
For dinner, Pang Le recommended a Hunan restaurant that had been open for less than two months. It was said that the chef had inherited the skills from his family and had passed them down for several generations. The restaurant was always packed with people. Pang Le asked someone to queue up in advance, otherwise they would have had to wait in line for an hour or two.
On the way over, Guan Xia saw the giant panda doll again. The balloons that were originally few in number now became more. A large group of children surrounded it, laughing and making noises enthusiastically. Some of the naughty ones even secretly touched the furry tail.
Guan Xia nudged Pang Le with her elbow and raised her chin to indicate, "He gave me the balloon. Since we just happened to be passing by, why don't we go get one?"
Pang Le looked up at the dinosaur balloon, smiled and nodded, "Okay."
As soon as the two approached, before Guan Xia could speak, the giant panda doll noticed them and handed over a matching dinosaur balloon.
Pang Le took it, Guan Xia smiled and said thank you, and the giant panda doll shook its head awkwardly to indicate you're welcome.
"So you like this kind of thing," Pang Le followed Guan Xia's lead and tied a balloon to his wrist. "Then I'll wear it for you on your birthday. I can even give you a hug."
Guan Xia imagined Pang Le wearing this thing to celebrate her birthday, and she almost shook her head like a rattle. "That's not necessary. This thing is so heavy to wear. I just like all furry things."
"Furry things?" Pang Le showed Guan Xia's familiar expression of shamelessness, "Including mice? Then I'll give you one."
Guan Xia rolled her eyes in annoyance.
