boxing
As night fell, a white sports car drove westward from the city center of Xunyang, its engine roaring louder than the highest decibel level of the evening.
The driver, unable to hear the curses coming from the apartment building, pressed the accelerator to the maximum with a cold face.
Half an hour later, the sudden braking kicked up a cloud of dust.
The car headlights went out, and the surroundings fell into dead silence.
The car door opened, and Gu Nan, wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses, casually draped the jacket over her shoulder.
She leaned against the car body, one hand on the roof, hooked the lens with her little finger, and gazed into the distance into the waist-high weeds.
The night was too dark. The abandoned factory, covered by weeds, was only an outline. It tilted at a 45-degree angle, exuding an eerie atmosphere. The factory was shrouded in darkness, as if it were condensing into a series of ferocious faces.
The moonlight shone like a pure white silk ribbon. She stood there for a while, staring intently, as if she could hear the ghostly screams of blood, and every moving molecule in the air seemed to be telling a story of suffocation.
He sneered and stepped into this desolate place that no one dared to approach even during the day.
Beneath the factory, some call it "heaven," while others compare it to "hell."
And she resides in the "human world".
Pushing open the rusty door, a bolder and larger "X" sign is right in front of you, and dark, dazzling laser lights, accompanied by a cacophony of voices, assault your ears.
"Big! Big! Big!"
"open!"
"good!"
"I won!" A skinny, bald man happily spun around on the ground, clutching a box.
Countless eyes were fixed on him, filled with envy, jealousy, and endless greed.
"Sister Nan."
Gu Nan looked away and nodded in greeting.
He walked straight to her designated spot—the best viewing room in the ring, or rather, the only enclosed room in the entire underground boxing arena without any electronic devices.
Before she could even sit down, a man dressed in boxing gear sneaked in through the crack in the door, plopped down on the table with an air of authority, and said in a drawn-out tone, "Nanbao, tell me, how are you going to ask me for help?"
Gu Nan didn't bother to look directly down. She parted the blinds and squinted at the audience. The audience was as lively as ever, with a few newlyweds sitting in a dimly lit corner.
One of them, wearing a silver mask with realistic cloud patterns, was feigning sleep.
Gu Nan asked thoughtfully, "Does Lu Yushi know that his opponent tonight is you?"
Wan Yi followed her gaze downwards, pulled down the blinds, and sprang up from the table with a sullen expression, raising his voice eight octaves: "If he knows that his opponent tonight is me, will he still be able to come?"
The air froze for a few seconds, Gu Nan's expression complex: "Sometimes I really don't understand where your confidence comes from?"
Wan Yi raised an exaggerated eyebrow: "It came from when you begged me."
"I'm begging you?" Gu Nan's tongue swept across her lower teeth as she raised her eyes with a half-smile: "Do you know how I usually beg people?"
Wan Yi shook his head; his advanced sense of danger made him cross his arms and take two steps back.
Gu Nan smiled and beckoned with her finger. When the man came running over, she suddenly stood up, grabbed Wan Yi's arm and twisted it behind his back, then pressed her knee against the back of Wan Yi's knee, forcing him to kneel on one knee on the floor.
"hiss."
Gu Nan let go, patted the non-existent dust off her palm, and looked down at Wan Yi as he lovingly stroked his shirt.
"Do you understand?"
"You!" Wan Yi was furious. He glared at her and said irritably, "No, who has upset you lately? You always take it out on me."
Gu Nan didn't reply. She slowly sat back down in her chair, took out a cigarette case from the drawer, casually pulled out a cigarette, put it in her mouth, and was about to take out a lighter when Wan Yi beat her to it.
"You should control it; the doctor said you're not suited to smoking."
Gu Nan was too lazy to get up, so she put one leg on the edge of the table and the other leg on her other leg, slightly bent.
She leaned back in her chair, casually pulled another lighter from a drawer, lit a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and stared at the ceiling seriously: "Nobody is suited to smoking."
Wan Yi threw the lighter back on the table, exasperated: "Go ahead and smoke it."
I couldn't help but ask, "Ji Yuanyu said you offended Lu Yu, how did you offend him?"
Gu Nanping shifted her gaze, and Wan Yi immediately leaned closer with a cheeky grin, nudging her shoulder with his elbow: "How did you offend her? Tell me."
“He said if I didn’t agree to break off our friendship, he would have someone deal with me. I didn’t agree,” Gu Nan said calmly.
Wan Yi: ?
"That's outrageous! Don't worry, I'll beat him to a pulp tonight."
Gu Nan twitched the corners of her mouth, watching Wan Yi hurriedly leave with a half-smile.
Sure enough, she preferred spending time with Wan Yi to Ji Yuanyu.
After all, only Wan Yi truly believed her nonsense.
Sometimes she also found it hard to understand how those obviously nonsensical statements could convince Wan Yi.
Over time, she even developed a sense of guilt towards this 26-year-old adult male for deceiving a child.
"Bang!"
The "child" slammed the door shut and rushed downstairs, probably about to cause a big scene.
After the door had been closed for a while, Gu Nan stubbed out his cigarette, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed a number.
Soon, a man dressed in boxing gear knocked on the door and came in. His burly figure made Gu Nan look less imposing.
"Sister Nan."
"Who invited him?" Gu Nan's gaze remained fixed on the silver-masked man downstairs.
The man walked around the screen and pushed open the door to the dressing room.
"Young Master Lu? As you wish, I have sent a challenge letter to the North City Boxing Gym in the name of X Boxing Stadium."
The masked man downstairs quickly came out, having changed into a cool boxing outfit. His strong and muscular upper body had clearly defined lines; his biceps weren't too large, but they still conveyed a sense of power. Half of his chest muscles were hidden under his clothes, which was more sensual than if they were naked.
The man seemed to sense something and looked up in her direction.
Gu Nan smiled knowingly and muttered to himself, "A challenge? Is it definitely not a provocation?"
"ah?"
Gu Nan leaned back lazily, her fingertips unconsciously tapping the table: "What are the rules tonight?"
"Each round is ten minutes long, with a two-minute break in between. The entire match consists of ten rounds, and all other rules remain unchanged."
Gu Nan's smile gradually froze, her face a mixture of emotions as she tilted her head and asked, "Wan Yi changed it?"
"yes."
"Ten minutes per round, ten rounds in total, is he planning to outlast Lu Yushi by exhausting him?"
Unable to get a reply, Gu Nan waved for them to leave and simply opened the blinds to their maximum, openly admiring the muscular physique of the masked man downstairs.
The conclusion is that what looks good may not feel good to the touch, but what feels good is sure to be a feast for the eyes.
The man looked up again, their eyes met, and Gu Nan sighed softly.
"Indecent and immoral."
She picked up her phone, pulled out the number from the blacklist, dialed, and answered instantly: "10 games, give me one."
After a long silence, the person on the other end said, "Are you sick?"
Three minutes later, the door to the room was pounded on loudly.
Gu Nan rubbed her ears, opened the door, and looked at Wan Yi outside with a blank expression.
Wan Yi's imposing aura vanished instantly, and he looked strangely docile as he held his boxing gloves: "Lu Yushi and I are evenly matched, you want to fight him?"
Gu Nan nodded, gesturing for him to look downstairs: "He seems really eager to fight me. You know, I try my best to fulfill the wishes of handsome guys."
Wan Yi lowered his head and thought for a long time before looking up: "Am I not handsome?"
Gu Nan smiled and asked, "Your wish?"
"Played all 10 games completely."
...
The air froze for a moment. Gu Nan glanced at him, picked up her phone from the table, and quickly tapped a few keys: "Sent it to you."
Wan Yi was completely bewildered: "What?"
He looked down at his phone.
Nanbao: [Watch the full HD version of Aladdin online.]
"Remember to make a wish." Gu Nan smiled gently. "Oh, by the way, the competition starts in half an hour. Remember to speed it up, or you won't be able to wait for the magic lamp to appear."
After saying that, she glanced at Wan Yi, whose lips were twitching, guessing that he was so moved that he choked up and couldn't express his gratitude. She was magnanimous and waved her hand generously: "No need to thank me."
He muttered to himself, "So this is what it feels like to do good deeds, to do one good deed every day!"
-
The tournament starts at 10 p.m. every night, and some people are already warming up on the field.
The audience below the stage was arguing heatedly.
The North City Boxing Gym is renowned, and the young master of the Wan family rarely suffers defeats.
The two groups who were betting on who would win or lose got carried away and were persuaded by those around them not to fight.
Gu Nan changed her clothes, looked down at the building, and a playful smile deepened on her lips.
Just as I was about to leave, I received a text message on my phone.
Her expression faded, she took out her laptop, and began typing with her fingers. The blue light reflected in her pupils, and her unusually serious expression seemed to carry a hint of coldness.
She pressed Enter, the light faded, and she typed a reply.
I'll pick you up tomorrow.
Downstairs, there was a great deal of noise.
"good!"
"Let's do it again!"
"Keep it up, Young Master Wan!"
"North City Boxing Gym will win!"
"Young Master Wan launches a desperate counterattack!"
Gu Nan glanced at the sign.
5:3.
She frowned slightly as she looked at the man whose face had not yet been revealed.
An unexpected result.
Turning around and going downstairs, I saw the two people on the stage taking a break. One of them was standing under the lights, and even drinking water, he exuded a strong aura of masculinity.
With his other arms draped over the ropes, he was panting heavily, like...
Gu Nan took the water from the waiter's tray, went around behind Wan Yi, and handed it to him.
Wan Yi grabbed the bottle and drank it down in one gulp, then casually crushed the empty bottle and tossed it off the stage.
The sound of "rolling around" was drowned out by the noise of people.
"I'll take on the remaining two matches."
Wan Yi glared at the man opposite him: "No way, I'll kill him!"
"5:3, the genie isn't going to help you."
Wan Yi flexed his wrist, gritting his teeth: "Win two more rounds, 5-5. Double the score for the last match, a tie. He's trained his whole life, I'm a latecomer, I'll win decisively!"
Gu Nan: ...
"Great, being able to think positively is also a victory."
Wan Yi: ?
Halfway through the break, Gu Nan didn't want to argue with him, so she casually said, "I drugged you. If you don't get down, he might do something to you."
Wan Yi's eyes widened in disbelief. He took off one of his boxing gloves, pressed his stomach incredulously, and exclaimed, "If you wanted to fight, just say so! Why did you drug me?"
He then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "How long until the drug takes effect? Otherwise, I'll wear him down this round, and you can go on next round when he's tired."
After a half-second eye contact, Gu Nan lowered her head, closed her eyes, and clutched her chest, feeling a momentary pang of conscience. Then, in a low voice, she sincerely advised, "You're like a dog that's been walked to exhaustion by the young master. If you fight another one, he might just walk you out of control."
"Hey you..."
Gu Nan pulled Wan Yi back and continued, "I'll cover two matches for you, no need to thank me."
Yes, do two good deeds every day.
She looked at Wan Yi with pity, and before Wan Yi could refuse, she exerted a little force, forcing Wan Yi to jump off the stage with her strength.
Before Wan Yi could react, she grabbed the ropes and used her waist and abdomen to push herself up onto the ring.
The man opposite said, "I don't fight with women."
Gu Nan nodded understandingly, brushing the dust off her hands as she casually said, "Two choices: admit defeat or fight me."
She pointed to Wan Yi, who was standing there dumbfounded: "If you admit defeat, he should be very happy to do so."
The man opposite did not answer, and the audience below the stage became unhappy, with questions rising one after another.
Who are you? ***
"Get out of here!"
"Get lost! Don't spoil my fun!"
"Get down! We want to watch Wan Shao's comeback match, why bring someone up here?"
"Why make a substitution when the match is at point? Are they planning to throw the match?"
"X Boxing Gym is shameless. They'd even resort to such tactics to curry favor with North City Boxing Gym."
"*******"
...
Gu Nan calmly looked at the audience below the stage, letting all kinds of vulgar words enter her ears. When the noise reached its peak, she put her index finger to her lips to signal everyone to be quiet.
His eyes then turned arrogant, and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips.
This startled everyone, and the cursing subsided slightly.
The match begins.
Gu Nan first made a gentleman's hand gesture, and the man opposite her didn't move. He simply dodged her punch and waited for her to attack.
After throwing two punches, she paused, pursed her lips, and smiled.
The punch, thrown without any force, went straight for the man's face, but as the man dodged, the woman involuntarily fell towards him.
The man probably didn't expect anyone to trip during a boxing match and instinctively grabbed her.
In a corner where no one noticed, Gu Nan suppressed a laugh and boldly grabbed his waist and abdomen a few times, saying in a voice only the two of them could hear, "It smells good, and it smells even better to the touch."
A girl in the audience screamed, "You pervert, let go of my hand!"
Normally, Gu Nan would have raised an eyebrow and gloated, but she was too busy to pay attention right now. If she relaxed her strength even slightly, the man would throw her off the stage.
After dodging several fierce punches, she laughed brightly.
"That's more like it!"
Just when everyone thought they were about to witness another epic boxing match, Gu Nan used the same trick again, getting close to the man and letting her fingers wander intentionally or unintentionally over his waist and abdomen, hooking onto his boxing uniform.
While the man was focused on his front, she casually lifted his helmet.
The audience members got angry before the men.
"Do you even know how to play?"
"Everyone's here to watch the boxing match, who wants to see a pair of horny bastards in the ring? Isn't anyone in charge going to do something about this?!"
The referee called a stop, and Gu Nan glanced behind the man's ear, clearly seeing his lack of interest.
He casually brushed off the old man in the audience who was cursing, saying, "I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it if I start playing around."
Wan Yi crawled in through the rope, angrily asking, "Are you boxing or flirting?"
Gu Nan paused, then feigned seriousness: "That's a very good question."
She glanced back at the man, regretfully saying, "But the person involved doesn't seem willing to answer."
Wan Yi: "Come down, I'll play the last match."
Gu Nan was extremely obedient, so docile that she seemed like a completely different person.
Behind him, the man's voice was cold: "Six punches, two with only 30% of your strength, and four with only 50%. Fight me, and I can give you your fill."
Wan Yi muttered, "What are you talking about, all that nonsense?"
Gu Nan's eyes sharpened as she noticed Wan Yi's gaze. She lowered her eyelashes to conceal her emotions, turned around, her eyes innocent, and her voice was not soft: "Did I make you feel good?"
