Ling Nuxia was seriously distressed, and the man on the other end saw that she didn't speak for a long time, and his expression was hesitant, thinking that she was unwilling, and his eyes immediately dimmed.
"Then forget it." He only hesitated slightly for a moment, and quickly chose to give up.
This person looks rigid and strict, unapproachable, but in fact, his personality is unexpectedly upright and kind, and he is not difficult at all. Ling Xiao raised his head to look at him, and saw that the upright and heroic man seemed to have a gloomy expression at this time, and his eyes were full of disappointment.
But he didn't mention anything about practicing with her at all - obviously he was a teacher, and it was really reasonable to ask for a test of the student's level in class.
Ling Xiaorao is no matter how bad her temper is, every time she meets such a good-tempered person, she can't help it-well, Ye Lin is also the type with a good temper that makes her helpless.
So at this time, Ling Nuxia finally took a deep breath of resignation, and said something that made her extremely regretful for a long time after this: "Okay...... But if I win, don't mind, teacher. ”
If someone else said this, Nie Zheng might think that the other party was cheap and self-righteous, but the girl in front of her had already taken half a step back slightly when she finished saying this.
It was this small half-step, but her momentum seemed to change dramatically in this short moment.
Just now, she looked like she was just a weak and beautiful ordinary girl, but at this time, even if she seemed to be just standing in place casually and with a leisurely posture, it made him feel a huge sense of oppression that he had never felt before.
It seems that there are flaws all over the body, but it is also as if there is no way to start with every flaw.
Nie Zheng was so angry that he was almost a little stereotyped, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face—a heartfelt, expectant, and even a little excited.
He had a feeling that he might really lose to this delicate-looking little girl today, but he hadn't found an opponent for a long time, and whether he won or lost, he had to do his best to be worthy of himself and his opponent.
The atmosphere between the two was too abnormal, and the sense of zài was too strong, and the students who were originally practicing in front of the mirror couldn't help but look at it together, and they didn't know why, they subconsciously held their breath, and actually felt like there was an invisible sense of oppression that made them dare not even breathe.
Ling Xiao and Nie Zheng didn't move—Ling Xiao just stood in place with a relaxed expression, as if he was not facing a martial arts contest at all, but just admiring the flowers and watching the scenery; Nie Zheng stared at her tightly, leaned forward slightly and arched up.
After all, it was still in class and there wasn't much time to waste, and after a while, Nie Zheng was finally the first to move-
There was originally a distance between the two that was not long or short, and he was obviously not walking fast, but he didn't know why he had already arrived in front of Ling Xiao in the blink of an eye.
Ling Xiao raised her eyebrows and leaned slightly - she didn't move much, as if she was just dodging. But Nie Zheng's heart immediately tightened--the amplitude was small, not because she barely dodged, but because-she grasped it too accurately, knowing that as long as this little distance, it was enough to dodge, and there was no need to waste any more energy.
The man's expression froze, and he immediately changed his hand, but it was already too late - Ling Xiao had already raised his hand.
Ling Xiao didn't use internal force - he didn't understand internal force, so she didn't use internal force, at least it was as fair to him as possible, although nothing in this world was absolutely fair.
Her movements were obviously unpleasant, but he didn't know why he couldn't dodge, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the little girl's index and middle fingers touch him, and quickly struck his wrist twice in quick succession—almost at the same time, he felt that his arm was numb, and almost instantly it hung down, so sore, that he couldn't exert his strength.
But it was this hand-to-hand effort, and the little girl had already withdrawn in an instant and retreated a few steps.
Nie Zheng is confident that he has excellent bones and the martial arts he has learned are quite complicated, but he has never seen such footwork - fast but not chaotic, leisurely as if walking among flowers.
The man took a deep breath, but his eyes brightened, and he shook his arm, feeling that it seemed to be a little better and less sore, and soon ravaged up again......
Five minutes later, Ling Xiao, who was neatly dressed and had no long hair that was not messed up at all, stood in place, looked down at the man who was already sweating profusely and fell to the ground under the horrified gaze of his classmates in the room, thought about it, bent down slightly and stretched out his hand to him.
Nie Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and rubbed his sweaty hand on the hem of his clothes, then reached out to hold the little girl's outstretched hand and stood up with her strength.
As soon as he stood up, the man only felt that his feet were weak, and he immediately staggered a step. Nie Zheng gasped, and immediately shook his arms and legs vigorously, only then did he feel better. When he looked down at Ling Xiao again, his eyes were almost shining:
"Don't show mercy to your subordinates, come again?"
Ling Xiao's scalp was numb at his eyes that seemed to be light, and he regretted almost instantly agreeing to allow him to practice, and for the first time in his life, he had the urge to run away.
But Ling Nuxia's psychological element is still very strong after all, so she immediately shook her head firmly and stretched out her hand to the students in the classroom who were stretching out their heads to watch the excitement:
"Teacher, it's time for you to go to class!"
"Also," Nie Zheng was also really upright, and when she said this, she also felt that she was a little irresponsible as a teacher, so she immediately clapped her hands and signaled everyone to form a team, but she still didn't give up, looked at her with expectant eyes, and asked for her opinion democratically, "Let's practice again after class?" ”
Ling Xiao shook his head without hesitation.
The man's eyes darkened suddenly, but he was still not reluctant as before, but his whole body seemed to reveal a sense of disappointment and grievance, like a large abandoned dog.
He has a good temper, but Ling Xiao can't help it, at this time, he can only pretend that he doesn't know anything, keep his head down and blend into a group of classmates, and then watch him take the trouble to seriously attend class, and take the trouble to patiently correct each student's movements one by one.
Ling Xiao posed casually as he had been taught earlier, pretending to turn his head to look out the window at the scenery.
Nie Zheng passed by her several times, and he still seemed to want to practice with her again, but he stopped talking for a while, but he still didn't speak.
When the bell rang for the end of class, Ling Xiao almost ran away. Even in the next few weeks, she was extremely nervous every Friday - in fact, Nie Zheng was not very good, she stopped after being rejected at first, and never mentioned it again, but every time she was in class, she could inadvertently see him staring at her eager eyes, and she could also see him sighing and reluctantly walking away from her after hesitation.
- If he had pestered her, she might have been ruthless; But this person has a good temper, which makes her feel that she can't help it.
People with too good tempers, she has always been helpless-Ling Xiao rubbed the corners of her eyes and thought so, and sent a message to Ye Lin with some indignation, saying that she wanted to eat the cake from the dessert shop downstairs of his company at night, and then put away her mobile phone and looked at the man opposite who was seriously correcting the posture of the student, but her eyes unexpectedly softened.
This person is obsessed with martial arts, rare and upright, but unfortunately he may have been born at the wrong time - if in her time, sooner or later there will be something great.
Ling Xiao shook his head, raised his hand and called him, "Teacher." ”
He had just finished correcting a student's movements, when he heard her call himself, and seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly looked at her with bright eyes, and came to her in three or two steps, and bowed his head and asked her:
"What's the matter?"
"You've reached a bottleneck, haven't you made an inch in a long time?" Ling Xiao looked up at him.
The man seemed to be surprised for a moment, but then nodded without hesitation: "It's been a long time since I've found no opponent, and I always feel that there is a hurdle that I can't overcome." ”
"I haven't had an opponent for a long time", others said that he might be showing off, but Nie Zheng's expression was frank at this time, and there was a slight regret in his eyes, Ling Xiao knew at a glance that what he said was true - for martial arts, the gap caused by the difference in talent is too big, and this is no longer something that can be made up by diligence, not to mention that this person is obviously also the type of hard worker. If it was placed in the past, people with ordinary talents might still be able to rely on their old age and internal strength to win; But now that there is no internal force in this era, it is obvious that it has invisibly opened up the gap in talent. Ling Xiao estimated that with this person's talent and hard work, his cultivation in martial arts was probably far beyond that of many elders.
"That's it," Ling Xiao finally compromised, and said helplessly, "After school today, you go to the playground and wait for me." ”
The tall man nodded with joy on his face for a moment.
……
Ye Lin got off work early today, and rarely received a text message from Ling Xiao asking for extra food, so she went to buy her favorite cake as soon as she got off work. When he came out of the store, he received a text message from her saying that he was going to come back later, Ye Lin thought about it, and simply drove to No. 1 Middle School, thinking about picking her up by the way.
When I arrived, No. 1 Middle School had already finished school, but most of the students in No. 1 Middle School lived on campus, and many students did not go home on weekends.
Ye Lin looked around, but he didn't see his little girl, but saw Shen Qing who was about to go home after packing his schoolbag.
"Brother Ye Lin, if you look for Ling Xiao, you will probably see it when you go to the playground," Shen Qing puffed out his cheeks slightly, not knowing why his face was full of regret, "Brother said that he wanted me to go home immediately when he went out to eat at night, I have to go back quickly, otherwise I want to go to see it too!" ”
After she finished speaking, she hurried away with a reluctant face. Ye Lin frowned a little suspiciously, went to the playground full of confusion, looked for a circle but didn't see Ling Xiao's figure, and walked around again, only to finally see his familiar and slender figure in an inconspicuous small corner.
The little girl stood there, smiling, bent over, and reached out to pull the man who was sitting on the ground—the sweaty man smiled even more heartily, and reached out to grasp her hand, and looked at her with eyes that were almost shining.
