"Who taught you martial arts?" Gu Chen asked Ye Ruan, his deep, ocean-like eyes fixed on her.
"My brother taught me," Ye Ruan said with a smile. "My brother should be coming to China soon, and I'll introduce you to him then."
"Okay." Gu Chen raised his hand and ruffled Ye Ruan's hair, his deep black eyes revealing no emotion.
After practicing twice more, Su Nianqing stepped off the boxing ring. The young boy's clothes were soaked with sweat, and his hair was completely wet, but his face was beaming with pride. "Uncle Gu Chen, how did I do? Don't I have a lot of talent?"
Gu Chen nodded. "Not bad."
"Do you think I have a chance to surpass my uncle and win a few more gold belts?"
As Gu Chen strode downstairs, he said, "If you want to win the gold belt, you might need to change your coach. Your Coach Ye's teaching is suitable for self-defense, but not for competition!"
Gu Chen and Su Nian were talking seriously and didn't notice that Ye Ruan, who had been silently lagging behind them, was momentarily distracted.
Looking at Su Nianqiao, Ye Ruan felt as if there had once been a little boy with sweaty hair, who said to her with a spirited expression, "Little sister, I will definitely bring you a gold belt to play with in the future."
After a moment of distraction, Ye Ruan frowned and carefully searched her memory. In her memory, her brother could not have had such a radiant expression, much less have said something about playing with the gold belt.
In her memory, her brother was gentle when he was with her, but he never seemed particularly radiant.
Moreover, every time her brother met her, besides the usual concern for her, he would only talk to her about revenge.
Could it be that the scene just now was of her five-year-old brother before the family tragedy?
My brother once had the same dream of winning a championship as any other child, and he once looked so radiant.
"Teacher Ye, I'm going back to my room to take a shower first. I'll meet up with you at Uncle Gu Chen's place later." Su Nianqiao's greeting pulled Ye Ruan out of her memories.
Ye Ruan nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you to the room to get your bag."
Gu Chen gently patted the top of her head. "I'll wait for you downstairs."
Ye Ruan took her bag from Su Nian's room and was about to go downstairs when she noticed that one of the room doors was open.
She didn't know why, but she inexplicably stopped and looked into the room. The room was decorated in a very stylish way, but her eyes were immediately drawn to the ugly, misshapen rabbit on the bed.
Her heart felt as if it were being squeezed by something, a dull and unpleasant ache emanating from it.
She also has a rabbit, which her brother brought back to her one night twelve years ago, right after her parents' accident. It's very beautiful.
But from the moment she got the rabbit, she felt something was off. The rabbit was too beautiful; it didn't look like her rabbit. Her rabbit should be ugly, a strange creature, like the rabbits in this room.
Ye Ruan subconsciously wanted to walk into the room.
Just then, Ah Xiang, who had been cleaning the room, suddenly heard the phone ringing downstairs and ran downstairs to answer it, returned.
Upon seeing Ye Ruan, she smiled politely and gently and asked, "Teacher Ye, is there anything I can help you with?"
Ye Ruan snapped back to reality. "No, no. Nian Yuan's class was over, and I was passing by here. The room door was open, and I saw some interesting dolls on the bed, so I couldn't help but take a second look."
Upon hearing this, Ah Xiang turned her head and her gaze lingered for a moment on the four-legged rabbit doll on the bed. A hint of sadness appeared in her eyes. "That doll was a gift from our Miss Qianqian to our young lady. Now the doll is still here, but our young lady is gone..."
Ye Ruan's heart skipped a beat. Was this room actually Su Ruanruan's?
She had initially thought someone lived there.
It now appears that even after Su Ruanruan left for so many years, the Su family has been carefully keeping her room exactly as it was.
Her heart pounded twice. Looking at the sadness on Ah Xiang's face, she said politely, "I'm sorry."
Ah Xiang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "It's alright, Teacher Ye. Mr. Gu is still waiting for you downstairs. Please go down first!"
Ye Ruan smiled and nodded at Ah Xiang, then turned and went downstairs.
