I Really Didn't Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 96

By the way, Xu Lin, do you belong to the office party.

[T/N: I think she means people who needs to work all day while sitting on a chair in the office.]

Well, sort of, since I spend a lot of time sitting. He didnt lie; he sits a lot for both writing and attending classes.

You should exercise, though. Despite its size, this place is quite affordable.

Monthly, yearly, or by the number of visits, its much cheaper than regular gyms. Getting a personal trainer isnt expensive either. But when Im around, I can teach you.

Thank you in advance, Sister Qin, but Im usually busy, only have some free time on Sundays.

Thats okay. How about a half session card? I have an unnamed one here, about 10 sessions. You can use it first.

No, please, I cant accept your help. I cant take gifts.

Its not a big deal. Youre Wanwans boyfriend, so youre my friend too. Besides, its from the boss here. I got it when I got a yearly membership, but I wont use it.

Qin Yunhe insisted, so he reluctantly accepted it. He usually trained with Chu Fengyi, so he didnt need this. However, with her being away lately, he might use it for exercise.

But about what I just said, I hope youll inform the other officers first. Dont act rashly on your own.

Dont worry, sister, Im a professional. By the way, since you call Qin Jie'(Sister Qin), how old are you?

[T/N: Xu Lin actually calls her Qin Jie in chinese which means Big Sister Qin. But I used Sister Qin for readers to better understand it since everyone might not know about these chinese addresses like Ge'(Big Brother) or Jie'(Big Sister).]

Im 20 this year.

Only 20? I didnt expect that. Why didnt you go to college? Normally, someone like Su Qingwan, who has been a top student since childhood and is now a teacher, should also appreciate academic excellence, right?

Xu Lin didnt know what to say. He felt like a fraud. But judging by what you said, Teacher Su does seem to appreciate my accomplishments since I perform well academically.

When Qin Yunhe saw Xu Lins expression, she suddenly realized and her expression changed instantly.

Sorry, I didnt mean to imply that having a low education level is bad. In a relationship, the most important thing is how two people get along. Making money, as long as both work hard

Lets go out first.

Alright

As Xu Lin walked out of the room, Qin Yunhe covered her face, realizing what she had just said.

I just said it casually, but for someone who didnt go to college, it must be hurtful. And it also concerns Wanwan. I should apologize to him over lunch.

Maybe he didnt take it to heart? But I must tell Wanwan and ensure my friend that I didnt mean to mock her boyfriend.

Xu Lin couldnt guess what the other person was thinking about, but as he walked out, he felt many peoples gazes, all directed towards him.

Hey! Guys, stop staring like that. Its making me anxious. Although I know what youre thinking, being looked at by men only makes my butt hurt and feel goosebumps!

As Qin Yunhe walked out, covering her face, everyone instantly felt something was wrong. Could it be that something really happened between the two?

Do you feel uncomfortable with your face? Xu Lin also made a straightforward remark, instantly putting the people around at ease, thinking he was an honest kid.

No, I still want to practice for a while. Do you want to play for a bit? Later, Ill treat you and Qingwan to lunch together.

No, if anyones treating, it should be me treating you to a meal.

Qin Yunhe, are you still up for a fight? Lets spar!

Not far away, a skinny youth, not much bigger than him, shouted, and the people around laughed.

Wang Wengang, its always you trying to take advantage!

Thats right, fight me!

Every time, youre the one getting beaten up, have you ever landed a hit on the opponent?

Young man, how about practicing with me? At this moment, Wang Wengang walked over and waved to Xu Lin.

Xu Lin was a bit surprised, pointing at himself, but secretly a little excited.

Despite practicing for so long, he had never fought anyone other than Chu Fengyi. But he was just an ordinary person, relying solely on light skills to escape and dodge wouldnt work. Would he embarrass himself in a direct fight?

Hey, little brother, this isnt a professional martial arts gym either; its just a place to have fun. The ground here wont hurt you much when you fall. Give it a try.

Beside him, Hong Lei, who had just brought him up, patted his shoulder, and he immediately took off his shoes and jumped onto the mat.

Hey, there you go, young man, dont be nervous. At the beginning, its all about sparring. Just remember, its all about practicing, try not to hit any dangerous spots.

A middle-aged man below shouted, and Xu Lin nodded, although Chu Fengyi always liked to hit his weak spots.

Come on! No need to hold back, just hit directly. Wang Wengang smiled and assumed a stance.

Xu Lin glanced at him and noticed that although the guy was thin, his arms and legs showed muscle, and his lower body was stable. He might be someone with a good foundation.

But he was once a hero himself; he couldnt just back down.

[T/N: He means martial arts warrior in his past life.]

Phew Brother Wang, please advise.

Sure.

Wang Wengang, have some mercy on others, you old slick.

Alright, got it!

Kid, beat him up!

Qin Yunhe was also drinking water, smiling as ahe watched the two. In a while, they might get too heated in the fight. But if Xu Lin gets hurt, Qingwan wont blame me, right?

Many onlookers didnt think Xu Lin could win because although Wang Wengang looked thin, he had strength, agility, and was among the top 20 among the frequent visitors to these fighting events, just not usually showing off.

Then, someone shouted start, and instantly, Wang Wengang threw a punch so fast it left an afterimage.

The people around were stunned. This guy was shameless, saying the other had no fighting experience and then going all out!

Qin Yunhe was also surprised, thinking she would definitely have to apologize to Qingwan now.

But the next moment, Wang Wengang felt his fist hit empty air. Did the opponent dodge?

Before his astonishment could fade, he felt his wrist being grabbed!

With a bang, Wang Wengang was instantly thrown out, crashing onto the ground not far away.

Wang Wengang quickly got up after being thrown like a carp, facing Xu Lin not far away, but at this moment he was completely bewildered.

The people around were also a bit confused; it all happened so fast that many didnt see clearly, only noticing the young man dodging and then Wang Wengang flying out.

But a few did see that Wang Wengang was thrown out; Xu Lin grabbed his arm and threw him out, but it happened too quickly for them to see his dodge.

So, little brother, were you just pretending to be weak? Wang Wengang stood up, not angry, after all, he usually liked to play tricks.

I just learned some self-defense techniques passed down in my family, but I really dont know any fighting skills.

Youre being modest, then Ill be serious too!

With that, his loose gaze became serious, and he charged forward!

Xu Lin also abandoned defensive moves and relied on his fighting instincts. Then he was punched several times, and after a few moves, the two backed away from each other.

Wang Wengang laughed, Why arent you using your ancestral self-defense techniques?

Dont need to. Since its a fight, it should look like a fight! Xu Lin grinned with excitement.

Originally, when he sparred with Chu Fengyi, he couldnt fully comprehend it due to the significant gap in skill levels.

Good! This fight is earned through taking hits, lets continue!

But as the two continued to spar, those around them began to feel that something was off because this guy named Xu Lin was a bit of a freak! At first, after abandoning his peculiar defense technique, he revealed a very inexperienced fighting style, just swinging punches aimlessly.

He rarely used kicks, and every time he did, he would get countered by Wang Wengang, who would directly pull him down to the ground.

Basically, all of Wang Wengangs attacks could hit him, while his attacks couldnt even touch the opponent.

But now, just dozens of moves had passed, 3 to 5 minutes, and this guy had already dodged quite a few of Wang Wengangs attacks, and even managed to graze Wang Wengang several times.

Ha! Xu Lin suddenly roared lowly, then charged forward, and the opponent hurriedly defended, but Xu Lin suddenly executed a whip kick!

The opponent was stunned, directly tripped to the ground by him, and then he leaped fiercely!

The eyes of those around lit up. This familiar move meant that Wang Wengang was about to lose!

Only to see Xu Lin swiftly and accurately executing a scissor kick, pinning down the opponents arm and neck, pressing him to the ground!

Wow, learning on the spot, impressive!

Wang Wengang, look at you, losing to a newcomer, how embarrassing!

Haha, he still lost to the same move that Qin Yunhe just used, his brain isnt working!

Damn it! Whos talking without brains? Come up and demonstrate!

Hey, Qin Yunhe, where did you meet this kid? His talent is really enviable!

Just a friend of a friend.

Not your boyfriend? Okay, thats a relief! Some guys joked.

Who knows, he might become my boyfriend in a few days.

Qin Yunhe also casually replied, but silently apologized to Wanwan in her heart, thinking, sorry Wanwan, I just found them annoying and said it without thinking.

But as she looked at Xu Lin coming off the court, surrounded by people, sweating profusely, she seemed to see her past self.
