Chapter 86 "Killed Twice by Me"
In the spacious training room, two young men were doing basic training.
At first, their push-up frequency was roughly the same, but gradually the gap widened.
The person who does it faster gradually increases the difficulty, switching to one-handed push-ups, switching hands every 10 repetitions, while keeping the frequency constant.
The one who was working slowly couldn't keep up, gradually stopped, and then collapsed.
He lay down but not flat; instead, he propped his head up with one hand and lay on his side, quietly watching the person next to him exercising diligently.
"Brother Lu, why are you suddenly so interested in this competition?"
Beads of sweat dripped down his hair, but the person doing push-ups ignored them, quietly counting the number of repetitions to himself.
Lin Xi stood outside the glass, and the receptionist who brought her there introduced her: "Hey, Lu Wei is right here."
As she spoke, she winked at Lin Xi and added, "Lu Wei is the most handsome student here. Female students often use sparring as an excuse to approach him."
Therefore, the people inside were used to training with onlookers and didn't pay attention to Lin Xi outside.
After finishing the basic training, Lu Wei picked up Liang Hui, who was lying on the ground.
Lin Xi, watching from outside, felt a sharp pain in her wrist. This action looked so familiar; Lu Wei had lifted her up like this when she was a zombie.
Liang Hui, now standing up, stopped his nonchalant attitude and launched a surprise attack.
Lu Wei swiftly blocked the attack and launched a counterattack.
When he clenched his long, slender fingers into a fist, the prominent bones were very noticeable, and he looked powerful.
Lin Xi knew how painful it was to be punched like that.
The next second, Liang Hui was grabbed by the arm, thrown over the shoulder, and slammed to the ground.
Lin Xi subconsciously furrowed her brows—
Ah, this... a familiar fist, a familiar over-the-shoulder throw.
She had taken every blow that Liang Hui had endured, but Lu Wei loosened her grip at the end of the fall, gently supporting Liang Hui's back with her other hand to cushion the impact of the fall.
Landing on the padded floor, Liang Hui grimaced dramatically, "I can't take it anymore, you're going to kill me."
Lu Wei ignored his surrender: "Get up and continue."
Liang Hui sighed and got up, his resentment bubbling over: "You pushed yourself too hard! We're going to a competition, not to fight bad guys and save the world. There's no need to push ourselves so hard!"
Lu Wei: "".
Liang Hui glanced at Lin Xi outside the glass and said in a voice only Lu Wei could hear, "She's been watching you for a long time."
Lu Wei followed his gaze to the outside of the glass, and Lin Xi met his eyes.
Lu Wei, standing before me, was wearing a black sports vest, his arms clearly defined without the clothing covering them. His expression remained as aloof as ever, though beads of sweat streamed down his fair cheeks.
Lu Wei's gaze lingered on Lin Xi for a moment, his expression somewhat complicated.
Lin Xi knew that he must recognize her.
She had planned to befriend Lu Wei after her rebirth, and intended to meet him three years later when Yu Shiyun established her studio. Unexpectedly, they bumped into each other here.
She waved and gave a simple greeting to show her goodwill.
Lu Wei looked at her quietly, nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and then turned to Liang Hui and said, "Continue."
He didn't come out, nor did he give Lin Xi any other indication; he continued to immerse himself in his training.
Lin Xi was a little confused. She wanted to wait for Lu Wei to come out so she could have a chance to talk to him, but then she heard the coach's voice coming from the next classroom:
"Lin Xi, what are you doing? Class is about to start and everyone is waiting for you."
The small group class started, so Lin Xi had to change her clothes and go to the training room next door.
When she finished training, the lights in the training room where Lu Wei had been were already off.
Lu Wei left without even exchanging a glance with her or leaving a message for the receptionist.
Lin Xi was a little puzzled; Lu Wei's look just now clearly indicated that he remembered her.
In his previous lives, Lu had never shown any kindness by adding her on WeChat, but she had pretended to be oblivious and ignored him.
Now Lin Xi is willing to bravely step out of her home and join the fight, taking the initiative to show goodwill to the other party, but Lu Wei has neither responded nor left any contact information.
Maybe...maybe he has something to do today.
Lin Xi thought so.
I immediately put this little incident out of my mind.
Lu Wei also practices at this martial arts gym and participates in the Sanda League, so there should be a chance to meet again.
-
Lin Xi later saw Lu Wei several more times at the martial arts hall.
He always appeared with Liang Hui, and when he came alone, he was attending a private lesson. Lin Xi came to the martial arts gym to take lessons, and he was always in a hurry. Even if they occasionally bumped into each other, they didn't have time to talk.
Having lived several lifetimes, Lin Xi had never been in a relationship and almost never initiated conversations with men. How to express her desire to fight zombies and form an alliance with them became a problem.
-
Lin Xi had no classes in the afternoon that day, so she went to the martial arts hall before dinner, ordered a fast food meal, and ate it in the lounge.
Pushing open the door, she saw Lu Wei and Liang Hui eating there. The two looked up at her, but Liang Hui's gaze returned to Lu Wei's face, as if watching a show.
The lounge has only one rectangular dining table, which can seat 3 people on each side.
Lin Xi held the lunchbox in the farthest spot from Lu Wei and Liang Hui, but how far could it be from the other side of the table?
Lin Xi naturally opened her lunchbox and started eating.
Lu Wei also lowered his head.
The air was quiet for a moment, and Liang Hui glanced at Lu Wei every now and then.
Lu Wei endured it several times, but finally gave him a warning look.
Lin Xi rolled her eyes inwardly, knowing that this silly boy must have thought she had feelings for Lu Wei, which was why she stood outside the glass to watch Lu Wei practice.
When Lin Xi realized she was being watched, she was both amused and exasperated.
Even though she knew the end of the world was coming, she still got caught up in the sparks of gossip.
The air was so quiet that Lu Wei didn't speak, and Liang Hui was bored after finishing his meal.
He greeted Lin Xi: "Hello, did you recently join the martial arts gym?"
"Um."
After exchanging greetings, Liang Hui spoke to Lin Xi openly and confidently, exclaiming in surprise, "Hey, you eat with your left hand?"
Lu Wei looked up and his gaze fell on Lin Xi's left hand holding the chopsticks.
Lin Xi awkwardly switched the chopsticks back to her right hand: "Use both."
She used to be right-handed, but her right hand became disabled in her previous life, so she switched to her left hand. She used it for almost eight years and couldn't switch back immediately.
Liang Hui smiled and praised, "Impressive! You can punch with both hands very smoothly."
The coach also said that this is one of the few advantages Lin Xi has in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing).
Lu Wei glanced at Lin Xi's left hand again.
Lin Xi looked back.
Aren't you going to say hello?
Shall we say hello?
Liang Hui sat between the two, feeling uncomfortable from their back-and-forth eye contact.
He felt a bit superfluous. "I said, did you two already know each other?"
Lu Wei: "I know him."
Lin Xi: "I don't know him."
Liang Hui: "...?"
More than their contradictory statements, he was surprised that Lu Wei was willing to admit to knowing Lin Xi, while Lin Xi claimed not to. In his view, Lin Xi was the one who wanted to get to know Lu Wei.
Liang Hui scratched his head: "You really know him?"
Lin Xi: "..."
Lu Wei: "..."
Liang Hui understood and asked Lu Wei directly, "Then why won't the young lady admit that she knows you... Ah!"
He was kicked by Lu Wei.
Having been brought up to this point by that silly boy Liang Hui, Lin Xi could no longer pretend to be stupid and stared at Lu Wei without flinching.
Lu Wei said, "Maybe she felt uncomfortable because she dreamed that I killed her twice."
Lin Xi: "No."
Liang Hui: "...?"
Lin Xi stared intently at Lu Wei: "It's three times."
Liang Hui: "...!"
