Tang Xiaoxiao randomly picked a shop and bought what she needed before returning home. Her mother said to her, "Your sister just called, she needs to talk to you about something, could you call her back?"
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't take her phone with her when she went out. After hearing her mother's words, she went back to her bedroom to get the phone and called Tang Xinxin. The call was answered quickly. It turned out that Tang Xinxin had bought a large batch of clothes during the pre-New Year shopping peak and asked Tang Xiaoxiao to come to her place for an emergency overtime work the next day.
Tang Xiaoxiao's part-time modeling career continued. Although she wasn't a professional, and her posing and camera work were amateurish, she was beautiful and looked good in anything. Ordinary clothes looked like haute couture on her, and even a casual snapshot looked like a professional photoshoot. Most of the business on her online store was attracted by her model photos.
Tang Xiaoxiao even received numerous collaboration offers from online stores, wanting to poach her as their print model. She naturally declined, but this proved that her decision to personally take photos and promote Tang Xinxin was absolutely correct.
The next morning, Tang Xiaoxiao drove to Tang Xinxin's shop.
There were no large parking lots nearby, only white-lined parking spaces on the side of the road. Tang Xiaoxiao parked her car, opened the door and got out. Just as she turned around to close the door, a gust of wind came from behind her, and then her shoulder was tightened as her small bag was pulled off her shoulder.
Tang Xiaoxiao reacted quickly, stepping forward and grabbing the robber by the back of his collar before he could escape. With a forceful tug, she slammed him to the ground.
Before the robber could get up, Tang Xiaoxiao stepped on his chest, snatched her bag, and then grabbed his arm and twisted it hard. A scream was heard as the robber struggled desperately, but her slender leg felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he could not break free from her grasp no matter what he did.
She took out her phone and dialed the police. Until the police arrived, Tang Xiaoxiao's foot never left the robber's chest.
The two police officers who arrived at the scene stared in disbelief at the slender, frail girl and the burly man struggling on the ground, questioning the meaning of life.
After escorting away the robber who kept groaning, Tang Xiaoxiao went with two police officers to the police station to give a statement. One of the younger officers even asked curiously, "Have you trained before?"
Tang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and shook her head. She really didn't know any self-defense skills. It was just a subconscious action. The robber wasn't particularly burly, but he was about 175 cm tall, and you could see the muscles bulging on his arms. She was surprised when she pulled him down to the ground.
It seems that the effect of the spatial water on her physical strength is not insignificant.
However, this incident did raise Tang Xiaoxiao's awareness. Society is so chaotic these days, with all sorts of people; a pretty young girl like her really should learn some martial arts just in case.
Today's robbery was just one person, whom she subdued unexpectedly with her strength. But what if she encounters a gang committing a crime someday? She has no fighting skills and will definitely suffer a great loss if she relies only on brute force.
She had experienced several frights in her past life, big and small. At that time, she wanted to learn something, but she was too old and her muscles and bones had already grown, so she couldn't learn anything. She was also afraid of pain and hardship, so she gave up.
Now, however, they have uniquely favorable conditions.
After leaving the police station, Tang Xiaoxiao returned to Tang Xinxin's shop with a heavy heart. Tang Xinxin was unaware of what had happened to Tang Xiaoxiao and assumed that Tang Xiaoxiao had just arrived. The shop had not yet finished sorting the newly arrived goods, and the sales staff were all busy. Tang Xinxin did not waste any words with her and simply stuffed the clothes she had already picked out into Tang Xiaoxiao's arms, indicating that she should hurry up and change.
Tang Xiaoxiao had no choice but to be a dutiful robot, obediently changing into one outfit after another to pose for photos.
The project was not completely finished until it got dark.
Tang Xiaoxiao was so tired that she collapsed on the sofa, holding a cup of hot milk tea and drinking it, not wanting to move at all.
Tang Xinxin sat down next to her, also holding a cup of milk tea. Tang Xinxin usually wouldn't dare touch such a high-calorie drink. She was tall and had a large frame, so if she gained a little weight, she would look very bulky. In order to maintain her figure, she was always on a diet. However, she had worked really hard today. After a busy day, it was okay to reward herself occasionally.
Tang Xiaoxiao, however, has a small frame and a naturally thin physique. In her previous life, she never had the problem of gaining weight, and her weight remained almost unchanged year after year. In this life, all her fat has grown in the right places, which makes Tang Xinxin extremely envious.
Thinking about what happened during the day, Tang Xiaoxiao glanced at Tang Xinxin and felt that her sister also needed to learn something, otherwise, as a woman with a child, she could encounter danger at any time.
So Tang Xiaoxiao asked, "I want to find a coach to teach me martial arts, do you want to come with me?"
Tang Xinxin looked at her in surprise: "Why do you suddenly want to learn this?"
Not wanting her to worry, Tang Xiaoxiao didn't mention the robbery she encountered during the day. Instead, she said, "I just feel more at ease when I'm out and about if I have some self-defense capabilities."
Tang Xinxin shook her head and said, "I can't learn it. I'm afraid of pain, and I'm too late for math at this age."
Tang Xiaoxiao stopped trying to persuade her. Tang Xinxin was an adult; she didn't need to analyze the pros and cons, and there was no need for Tang Xiaoxiao to force her if she didn't want to. Besides, Tang Xinxin had always been alone in her previous life, and she hadn't heard of her encountering any trouble.
This is, after all, a society governed by the rule of law, and blatant crimes are still rare.
However, Tang Xiaoxiao likes to be confident in everything she does. Now that she is rich and beautiful, she feels uneasy if she doesn't have a skill to rely on.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Tang Xinxin said, "I plan to close down on the 24th. It just so happens that the 25th is your birthday, so we can still make it."
