◇ 【076】 Ring
Liang Xun swallowed his saliva and said, "Okay, me too."
Emily managed to hold it in once again, using her hands to push back, using the momentum to bounce up. The few seconds in the air helped soothe the pain in her hands from supporting her body for so long. Even though it was only a few seconds, it was enough for her, who had a very good physical foundation.
Gu Juan couldn't help but admire her.
Emily's attack became even more fierce when she once again grasped the board with her hands. She realized that Gu Juan was stronger than her and that she had to fight quickly to have a chance of winning.
However, Gu Juan didn't want a quick victory. Today, he defeated the "five-man group" in four challenges, so he couldn't win the last one too quickly.
After the exciting fight between the two lasted for nearly half an hour, Gu Juan felt it was time to end it. After seizing Emily's weakness, he raised his foot again and accurately kicked the hand that Emily used to stabilize her body.
Emily felt a sharp pain in her hand, and subconsciously let go of her hand, falling to the ground.
Her eyes suddenly sharpened, and she stretched out a hand towards Gu Juan, and her soft and charming voice rang out softly, "Come down with me."
Gu Juan's face darkened and he was about to take action when he saw a look of pain flash across Emily's face. She fell weakly and landed on the cushion.
Her consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred, and she struggled to look around. Who was it, who was it that had attacked her brain with mental power?
Without having time to think too much, she fell into a dark world.
Wen Li and Liang Xun called for medical staff and ran over quickly.
"Xiaojuan, are you okay?" Xi Lang's voice, filled with concern and anger, rang in Gu Juan's mind.
Only then did Gu Juan realize that it was Xi Lang who had knocked Emily unconscious before him, and he quickly replied to him, "Old man, I'm fine." He let go of her hand and landed steadily on the cushion.
Wen Li watched the staff carry Emily away and guessed, "It looks like Emily fainted from she was so excited."
"Anyway, today's challenge ended successfully," Liang Xun said excitedly. "It's incredible. Gu fought one against five and almost won a complete victory!"
Wen Li continued, "Especially his outstanding martial arts, which are truly astonishing. I think from now on, no one will dare to say that our Country C martial arts are just a name and are vulnerable!"
Liang Xun agreed, "Yes. Today's challenge has concluded successfully. Finally, congratulations to Gu again. I hope that Gu will have a smooth journey in the future!"
Gu Juan nodded in thanks.
Thunderous applause suddenly broke out.
"Gu Juan, my idol! Gu Juan, my idol..."
Wen Li and Liang Xun both looked at Gu Juan jokingly.
Reporters and photographers who could no longer contain their excitement ran over here with microphones and cameras in hand.
"Excuse me, I have to excuse myself for a moment."
Gu Juan quickly left in another direction.
When the reporters ran over, he was gone.
Gu Juan walked to the exit of the stadium, and Xi Lang and the others were already standing there waiting for him.
Han Lin, Li Ruicheng and Lin Xuan angrily stepped forward to congratulate.
"Gu Juan, congratulations!"
"Thank you." Gu Juan walked to Xi Lang's side, "I'm hungry."
He didn't notice Gu Yinyin looking at him in surprise.
Xi Lang curled his lips, "I've reserved a table, let's go eat now."
Gu Juan invited others, "Let's go together."
Li Ruicheng glanced at Gu Yinyin and immediately responded, "Let's go."
Han Lin played with his car keys and said, "I won't go with you. I have an appointment with Coco for dinner."
Gu Juan said regretfully, "Okay then, Brother Han, let's get together again when we have time."
Shao Xiuming chased out of the stadium and saw other people with Gu Juan. After thinking for a while, he turned and walked away.
After lunch, Gu Juan and Xi Lang saw off Gu Yinyin, Li Ruicheng, and Lin Xuan. While at the dinner table, Gu Juan received a congratulatory call from Xi Cong.
When he got home, he threw himself on the sofa and asked, "Why do I feel like I haven't been home for a long time?"
Xi Lang sat down next to him and put his arm around his waist. "Wouldn't it be nice to live with me?"
"Of course not." Gu Juan leaned on him, "I was just saying it casually."
Xi Lang lowered his head and kissed his lips, pecking them gently, "I have a gift for you."
Gu Juan put her arm around his shoulders, lifted one leg and half-sat on him, chuckling, "Ever since we met, you seem to be constantly giving me gifts. What are they?"
Xi Lang took out a square red brocade box from his pocket.
Gu Juan's heart beat faster. Why did this box look so much like the brocade box that the male protagonist used to propose in TV dramas?
"Is it what I guessed?"
"What do you guess?" Xi Lang asked back, the doting in his smile was enough to overwhelm Gu Juan.
"A ring." Gu Juan said it bluntly, deliberately, "If it wasn't a ring, I would be very disappointed."
"Open it and you'll know." Xi Lang lifted his hips, letting his entire weight fall on him. The weight in his arms made him feel full and satisfied.
Gu Juan opened the brocade box and found a ring inside. It looked very familiar. He looked at Xi Lang's hand. Xi Lang's space ring was on his finger.
Xi Lang gently stroked his face. "I hope we can have a pair of identical keepsakes. Originally, I planned to let you wear the other space ring in your space, but I felt that was not sincere enough, so I took the space ring and specially customized this one that looks exactly the same. Do you like it?"
Gu Juan kissed his Adam's apple hard, stretched out her left hand in front of him, and stared into his eyes.
"Old man, please never leave me. I used to be most afraid of losing this immortal palace, but now, what I fear most is losing you. Even if one day I lose this immortal palace, I don't want to lose you."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xi Lang scolded him softly. After kissing his lips, he put the ring on his finger and took out a red string from his pocket. "When we get to school, tie the ring with this red string and wear it around your neck."
Gu Juan nodded, opened his shirt, leaned closer, and blew a breath.
Xi Lang took a deep breath and held his head, "Stop it, I can't help it."
"Then don't endure it." Gu Juan pushed his hand away stubbornly.
This sentence is undoubtedly the most likely to make people lose control. Xi Lang's chest heaved violently, his mouth dry, and he suddenly pressed him against the back of the sofa and kissed him fiercely.
“Tattatt…”
Xi Lang smiled bitterly, not knowing whether he should think that Xiaojuan's phone ringing was just the right time or not.
Gu Juan pushed him down, lay on top of him, took out his phone from his pocket, and glanced at the screen. "It's Shao Xiuming."
"Him? What does he want you to do?" Xi Lang pursed his lips and pinched his waist with his right hand.
Gu Juan thought his tone was strange, looked at him puzzledly, and raised his eyebrows inquiringly.
Xi Lang knew very well that Shao Xiuming had nothing against Gu Juan, but he still minded that Shao Xiuming and Gu Juan could stay on the stage for so long at the same time and they would chat from time to time.
"Nothing. Answer the phone."
Gu Juan understood a little and smiled faintly, "He may be suspecting that I am an ancient martial artist." After saying that, he answered the phone.
"Senior Shao?"
Xi Lang had also speculated this. Xiao Juan's strength was stronger than that of Shao Xiuming, a traditional Chinese warrior. Unless Shao Xiuming was completely clueless, he couldn't help but suspect Xiao Juan was a traditional Chinese warrior.
"Brother Gu, is it convenient for us to meet? There is something I want to discuss with you."
Gu Juan had just returned home, and the atmosphere between him and Xi Lang was good, so he didn't want to go out. "Senior Shao, if you have anything to say, you can just talk over the phone. It's not convenient for me here."
"Okay, there's no one else around you, right? What I want to say is a little unusual." Shao Xiuming was very cautious.
"There are no outsiders here. Please speak, senior." Gu Juan said.
Shao Xiuming asked, "Are you an ancient warrior?"
Gu Juan asked in a puzzled tone, "Ancient warrior? What does that mean?"
Xi Lang smiled and touched his head.
"Uh... nothing much. Junior Brother Gu, as you can see, I'm very passionate about martial arts. I wonder if there will be a chance for me to learn from you in the future?"
"You are no match for me right now."
"Of course I understand that. When I improve, I will challenge you. Also, I want to formally thank you for saving me."
"You're welcome. It's nothing."
After the call ended, Zhang Muheng called to congratulate him.
Last month, he finally resolved the situation with He Wanting. He didn't know how he explained it to He Wanting, but she never contacted him again. However, she'd cursed Zhang Muheng in front of others quite a bit. Zhang Muheng didn't mind, believing a few scoldings wouldn't hurt him.
"Old man, when we have time, let's invite Uncle, Aunt, Second Brother, Brother Han, Brother Li, and the others to visit the flower farm." The flower farm was already on track, so there was no need to keep it a secret from those close to us. Gu Juan came up with this idea and invited everyone to get together.
Xi Lang nodded, "Okay, let's go together someday when everyone has time."
"Also, I want to invite Zhao Rui and the other three to my house for dinner. We have known each other for such a long time but have never invited them to my house." Gu Juan said again.
His three roommates were indeed quite good, and Xi Lang had no objection. "Why don't you give them a call now and see if they're free tonight?"
Gu Juan immediately said, "Let's make a deal first. You cook."
Xi Lang couldn't help laughing, "Yes, I will do it."
Gu Juan was satisfied and called Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui and the other two were all free, so they agreed to come over at 5:30.
After Gu Juan and Xi Lang practiced in the space for two hours, they went to the supermarket in the community to buy groceries together.
Before going out, Xi Lang put a pair of sunglasses on Gu Juan's nose.
Thank you all for your concern for Moumou. I feel much better today. My stomach isn't bothering me anymore, but I'm still a little tired. I plan to rest for two more days, so I can only update once during those two days. I hope you all will understand. Also, I sincerely hope you all take good care of yourselves and don't be like Moumou, thinking you can squander your health just because you're still young.
