Chapter 131: My memories are all a bit confused from practicing martial arts.
Xue Bai glanced at Chu Xinglan's twitching expression with a strange look, thinking to himself: The boss knows how to cut off the source of the problem, no wonder he's a wife-chasing maniac.
"This, this won't do."
He said those words without batting an eye in front of others, while Chu Xinglan blushed with embarrassment and glared at Gu Ye.
"Otherwise, there's nowhere to put these things." Gu Ye glanced at the strange equipment in front of him.
"I was just about to say something too! Why did you suddenly bring so much stuff?" Chu Xinglan was furious. This was her rented place, but it was being treated like it belonged to him.
"Didn't you want me to teach you martial arts? These are all necessities," Gu Ye calmly replied to Chu Xinglan.
Upon hearing Gu Ye's words, Chu Xinglan's attitude changed.
"Miss Chu wants to practice martial arts?" Xue Bai exclaimed in surprise.
"Why aren't you getting out of here?" Gu Ye thought Xue Bai was in the way.
"I'll get out of here right now." Xue Bai shut his mouth and quickly left with a smile.
"Assistant Xue, how's your wedding date with Xiaoxiao?" Chu Xinglan asked before Xue Bai left.
"The wedding is set for next week. If I tell Xiaoxiao that I've met you, she'll be overjoyed. Miss Chu, I'd appreciate it if you and the boss could attend my wedding with Xiaoxiao."
"Okay." Chu Xinglan nodded; she would naturally attend.
"Then I'm leaving. You and the boss... take good care of your relationship!" Xue Bai said, and quickly left.
Chu Xinglan turned around and saw Gu Ye staring at her.
"Is there something on my face?" Chu Xinglan touched her face. That couldn't be!
"You seem to talk too much with other men," Gu Ye said, getting jealous.
"Are you going to adopt this 'don't talk to strangers' attitude too?" Chu Xinglan pouted, unconvinced.
She has the freedom to choose who she wants to talk to, and he has no right to take that away from her.
"How could I?" Gu Ye gently lifted her face. "I only get jealous!"
As Gu Ye spoke, he was about to kiss Chu Xinglan.
Chu Xinglan's heart raced, and she quickly turned her face away, avoiding his kiss.
"You still haven't told me how to use these?"
"You'll find out soon enough," Gu Ye said with a mysterious smile.
Before long, Gu Ye had neatly arranged all those strange pieces of equipment in the empty room.
There were sandbags, wooden stakes, dumbbells, and hanging bars...
"These are..."
"You can start with this one," Gu Ye said, walking up to the sandbag and pointing at it.
"Okay!" Chu Xinglan said, striking a punching stance, eager to begin training.
"Let's eat first. We'll have more energy if we eat," Gu Ye said, pulling her along.
"I'm not hungry." Chu Xinglan was not about to give up.
"I'm hungry!" Gu Ye smiled helplessly.
Chu Xinglan then remained silent.
The two found a random place to eat, but during the meal, Chu Xinglan was somewhat absent-minded, her mind filled with thoughts of returning to training.
Gu Ye sighed softly, finished his meal early, and returned home with Chu Xinglan.
Since returning home, Chu Xinglan has locked herself in the training room and hasn't come out.
“Baby, this kind of training is not something that can be done overnight. There’s no use in being so impatient.”
Gu Ye hugged her from behind, while Chu Xinglan made a punching motion.
"I'll practice some more!"
"I'm going to take a shower," Gu Ye said softly.
"That's perfect, you go take a shower, I'll practice some more." Chu Xinglan refused to let go.
"You have to help me take a bath."
"Huh?" Chu Xinglan seemed to have misheard. She turned to look at Gu Ye. "Can't we just not help?"
"Unless you're not worried about me getting infected from getting wet, you don't have to help." Gu Ye said the most serious thing in the gentlest voice.
Chu Xinglan lowered her head slightly.
"OK then!"
In the bathroom, Chu Xinglan carefully wiped Gu Ye's body with a towel. To prevent accidentally getting water on the bandages, she had to be very careful the whole time.
Although she wanted to ignore Gu Ye's amazing physique, the sight before her made it impossible for her to ignore it. She blushed as she looked at Gu Ye's broad back.
"Is it pretty?" Gu Ye's pleasant voice rang out.
Chu Xinglan paused for a moment, then hurriedly sped up.
Although Gu Ye couldn't see her face, he could imagine her shy expression and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.
"You can wash it yourself from now on."
Chu Xinglan threw the towel into the bathtub and hurriedly left the bathroom.
In the middle of the night, Gu Ye woke up to find that Chu Xinglan was not in bed. After getting dressed, he walked out of the bedroom and heard a sound coming from another room.
He gently pushed open the door and saw Chu Xinglan training like crazy.
He frowned, rubbing his forehead with his hand as he thought helplessly.
This girl is acting too recklessly; if she continues like this, her body might not be able to handle it.
He stood silently at the door, watching Chu Xinglan sweat profusely from training, completely unconcerned, until he was exhausted and could no longer throw a punch, then he stopped, clutching the swaying sandbag.
"Mommy, what's wrong?" The little baby stood beside her, looking up and asking.
"Baby, I need to become stronger so that your daddy won't be in danger because of me."
"Mommy doesn't like Daddy, right? Wouldn't it be better if he were in danger?" the little baby asked innocently, blinking his eyes.
If Chu Xinglan hadn't known that little babies liked to play pranks, she might have actually believed her.
"Little one, you're actually teasing your mommy." Chu Xinglan pretended to be stern with her.
The little baby mischievously stuck out his tongue.
"Mommy, baby wants to sleep, shall we go to sleep?"
"Okay, Mommy will take you to sleep then." Chu Xinglan smiled at the little baby. "Baby, will Mommy hurt you like this?"
Before getting up, Chu Xinglan wanted to confirm this.
"Mommy's daily routines won't affect me at all. Even if I'm overworked, I'll be fine. Mommy, don't forget, I'm a spirit child, and my vitality is much stronger than that of a normal fetus."
Chu Xinglan was relieved to hear the baby say that.
"Okay, let's go to sleep."
After leaving the training room, Chu Xinglan quickly washed herself and returned to bed.
Before Chu Xinglan returned, Gu Ye lay in bed pretending to be asleep, so Chu Xinglan didn't know that Gu Ye had woken up.
As soon as she lay down, Gu Ye pretended to turn around and press down on her.
Chu Xinglan was struggling to breathe under his weight, so she gently pushed Gu Ye's body away, poked her head out from his arms, and gasped for air.
She noticed that Gu Ye was wearing pajamas, and couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.
Wasn't he not wearing pajamas before?
If she remembered correctly, Gu Ye went to bed shirtless. At that time, she was shy and asked him to put on his clothes, but he said he was used to sleeping naked...
Could it be... that I remembered it wrong? This wasn't something Gu Ye said at all?
