30 -30: So She Already Has a Boyfriend

Inside the boxing club, Gu Fan was knocked down again and again.

His face grimaced in pain, but he gritted his teeth, hauled himself back up, and relaunched a new round of attack against his opponent.

“Raise your arms, higher, move, if you stay still, you’re just a live target!” Su Hui shouted from the sidelines, really anxious about Gu Fan’s clumsy fighting skills.

Lu Yi sat rubbing his sore arm to one side.

That hurt so much!

He made it through one round, but couldn’t keep going.

This was way different from the body contact with Su Hui he had imagined.

Su Hui didn’t compete today.

Instead, she arranged opponents for Gu Fan and Lu Yi.

Although these opponents weren’t as skilled as Su Hui, they were quite formidable.

Lu Yi, lacking determination, surrendered quickly.

Gu Fan, meanwhile, attacked again and again.

Despite being knocked down each time, despite it being painful each time, for some reason his blood was boiling, his fighting spirit igniting.

He loved the sport.

Generally, for novices like Gu Fan and Lu Yi, it’s best to let them hit some pads or something similar to practice and get a feel for it.

But Su Hui was in a bad mood and skipped this step, making Gu Fan and Lu Yi spar directly.

On the ring, Gu Fan’s footwork got under way.

It seemed like he found his rhythm and was no longer charging straight ahead.

Instead, he would move to the sides, and even his retreat became more fluid.

But Gu Fan was still just a beginner.

His punches and footwork still didn’t coordinate well.

But his improvement was clear, especially his indomitable fighting spirit, which earned Su Hui’s approval.

“Okay, my turn!” With Su Hui’s words, Gu Fan broke out in a cold sweat.

The sympathy in the eyes of the opponent retreating from the ring made it clear that they knew what was coming for Gu Fan.

Just then, Lu Yi got excited, raised his hand indicating that he was ready to fight again.

Moreover, he insisted that it wasn’t fair for a master like Su Hui to fight one-on-one.

She should take on two novices at the same time.

So with Su Hui’s nod of agreement, an overjoyed Lu Yi hopped back onto the ring, fists tapping each other.

He couldn’t have been happier.

But Gu Fan sighed, “Bro, what are you doing, coming here to die with me?”

Lu Yi didn’t seem to mind at all, “Bro, don’t be so pessimistic.

We are two men, can’t we beat a girl?

I am filled with confidence.” After saying this, Lu Yi got ready, a serious look on his face.

He even said, “Sister Su, I’m ready.

Bring it on.”

With one swift, precise punch, Su Hui landed straight on Lu Yi’s face.

Lu Yi, looking confused, took the hit and toppled over.

He did not for a moment dream that Su Hui could strike so fast.

“No way!” Gu Fan saw how quickly Lu Yi lost, aware now of just how formidable Su Hui was.

But there was no way he could surrender now.

Gathering all his courage, he stepped up.

A lot of spectators shook their heads and sighed; they could already guess the outcome: Gu Fan would take quite a beating.

As expected, Gu Fan was also knocked down in a flash, losing so hopelessly that it was almost amusing.

The only consolation was that he had done much better than Lu Yi.

Su Hui had a look of disappointment on her face.

“Can’t you guys do better than this?

That wasn’t even a warm-up for me.”

“For God’s sake, sis, you’re a pro, and we’re beginners.

A pro beating up beginners—isn’t this bullying?” Gu Fan immediately voiced his opinion and protested adamantly.

“Alright, alright, my bad.

I should’ve gone easy on you.” Having beaten them, Su Hui looked noticeably happier.

She reached out to help Gu Fan up.

“That’s more like it!” Taking Su Hui’s helping hand, Gu Fan swiftly got back up.

Then he looked at Su Hui, and he laughed.

Su Hui laughed too.

Suddenly it seemed there was an unspoken understanding between them.

At this moment, a man in a shirt and trousers entered the club.

His neatly styled hair emphasized his handsome, masculine appearance.

His incongruous attire drew everyone’s attention as soon as he arrived.

He walked up to the ring, giving Su Hui a wry smile.

Su Hui noticed the man, looking uninterested, which made the man rather embarrassed.

He then spoke, “You’ve been avoiding my calls lately, but I guessed you’d be here now.

My hunch was right.

And from your looks, you’re still mad at me.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan and Lu Yi realized that this man who had suddenly intruded probably had something extraordinary to do with Su Hui.

More than likely, he was the reason for her anger.

The man completely ignored Gu Fan and Lu Yi, continuing to address Su Hui, “Can we find a place to sit and talk properly?

I’ve been wanting to explain.”

“Explain?

What is there to explain?

He is clearly caught red-handed.” Su Hui said angrily, stepping down from the arena and trying to distance herself from the man.

This man quickly followed her up: “Su Hui, hear me out first, please don’t go.” The man looked unwilling to let go, chasing and attempting to grab Su Hui’s arm.

But Su Hui shook her arm and broke free from his grip, warning him, “I caution you not to touch me in public.”

“Alright, alright!” The man raised both hands in a pacifying gesture and tried to calm things down.

“I was wrong.

I promise I won’t upset you again.

Please, let’s not quarrel anymore.

Come back with me.”

“There’s no need.

You know what kind of person I am.

I haven’t cooled down or forgiven you.

Also, I have my own place.

I don’t have to live in your house.” Su Hui huffed, displaying an expression that clearly said she wasn’t buying his act.

The man scoffed, “That old run-down house is hardly livable.

Stop fussing, you’re only hurting yourself to spite me.

It hurts me to see you like this.”

Unfazed, Su Hui retorted, “What’s wrong with an old house?

I enjoy the nostalgia.”

“Alright, if you like old houses that much, I’ll buy you one.

I can give you anything you want.” The man was generous in his words, displaying an affectionate demeanor towards Su Hui.

Gu Fan, however, couldn’t stand to listen anymore.

He initially didn’t want to involve himself in their domestic quarrel, but he couldn’t stand the disdainful way the man was speaking about his old house.

Just as the man was about to continue bothering Su Hui, Gu Fan intervened, saying, “Excuse me, the old house you mentioned is actually mine, where generations of my family lived and grew up.”

Caught off guard by this, the man faltered, before chuckling awkwardly, “Sorry, I didn’t mean any offense.

I just want Su Hui to have better living conditions.”

Gu Fan quickly retorted, “Our old house is charming in its own way.

It may be old and showing signs of decay, but it is spacious and lively.

The neighborhood is very vibrant.”

“Yes, that’s indeed a great point,” the man replied, his expressions bearing the hint of disdain.

Clearly, he did not have any respect for the ancient house Gu Fan lived in.

Su Hui nodded in agreement, “Yeah, remember how Aunt Li brought back loads of local specialties from her trip and shared some with us?

Or when Uncle Wang’s son brought his fiancée home for the first time, and everyone gathered to get a glimpse of her?

The atmosphere is lively and filled with camaraderie.

It’s a precious thing that money can’t buy.”

Upon hearing this, the man’s expression turned a tad unnatural.

He quietly wondered why Su Hui was siding with Gu Fan to embarrass him.

Regardless, he forced a smile and remarked, “Well said.

Having good neighbors is indeed wonderful.

However, you can’t keep living at someone else’s house forever, Su Hui.

It’s not very convenient.”

“No problem at all.

We’re friends, and helping each other is natural.

Besides, Su Hui pays rent and has taught me self-defense skills—I couldn’t ask for more.” Gu Fan’s statement won a nod of approval from Su Hui.

The man furrowed his eyebrows, clearly displeased.

He appeared upset, but managed to hold it in.

At this point, Lu Yi chimed in, “My friend, it’s clear that Sister Su is still mad at you.

She’s unlikely to return home with you.

My recommendation is for you to go home and reflect on how to make amends to win Sister Su’s forgiveness, instead of hoping words alone here will suffice.”

“Alright, thanks for your advice.” The man’s expression showed that he was clearly annoyed, and he left with a huff.

Watching his departure, Gu Fan and Lu Yi were slightly puzzled and asked Su Hui, “Sister Su, we presume he is your boyfriend, but what could he have done to upset you to the extent where forgiveness comes hard?”

In response, Su Hui nodded.

Her worried eyes flitted to Gu Fan.

“What’s wrong, Sister Su?

Your expression seems off.” Gu Fan and Lu Yi looked at her anxiously, clueless as to what was wrong.

Su Hui heaved a heavy sigh, “You’re right.

That man is my boyfriend.

As for what transpired between us, I’m not ready to share that yet.

However, I must apologize to you both.

I was impulsive because I was angry and didn’t consider the potential consequences for you.

You really shouldn’t have provoked him.”

“What do you mean…could it be that your boyfriend is very influential?” Gu Fan and Lu Yi felt a sense of unease creeping in.

Su Hui nodded silently, “Not just influential.

He is VERY influential.

His name is Yuan Cheng and his father is a high-ranking government official of this city.

There are very few who dare to talk back to him…” Su Hui didn’t continue speaking and offered an embarrassed smile.

Hearing this, Gu Fan and Lu Yi were stunned.

It felt as though they were struck by lightning; they had offended someone they really shouldn’t have.
