Municipal Children’s Palace, Musashi Kendo Training Center.
In the middle of the field, two people wearing kendo protective gear and holding bamboo swords were facing each other.
It's still a familiar place, it's still a familiar venue, but the person holding the bamboo sword on one side has a fresh face. The indigo cotton kendo robe and black hakama (ku) tie up the man's figure.
It's so tight that you can tell her gender from the undulating curves.
The posture of the bamboo sword held by the girl in both hands is very standard... There is no way it is not standard. Anyone who has been corrected for the same posture for a whole day has to form a muscle memory. There is no audience at the side of the dojo, at most there is only one person drinking tea.
Coach Nian, with a sage-like expression, sat under a calligraphy and painting of "Heart as still as water" and looked at the two "students" confronting each other on the court. There was no ripple of expectation in his eyes. He was probably not right about this situation from the beginning.
Have no expectations about the outcome of the training.
The first person to move was the person on the right. He took a step forward without drawing his sword but performed a Qihe. The sound was deafening and so energetic that it almost made ripples in the coach's tea cup. In a daze, it could even make people think that Qihe was done.
It's not a person, but a "roar" that can resonate and tremble in the eardrums, similar to that of a liger or wild animal.
The girl holding the sword on the left did not take a step back or show fear... because she was already a little numb. If it was the first time to see this kind of aura, even experienced kendo practitioners would be shocked for a moment, but
If you were shocked by Qihe more than dozens of times a day, you would probably be like her, with only a slight sway in your mind, but no flaws in your movements.
The swordsman on the right took a big step forward and made a thrust. The movement was not fast and even appeared to be very slow. The girl raised her bamboo sword to block the thrust and moved it up to separate it. Just as she was about to counterattack, she suddenly received a strong blow on her head.
A slash of the sword struck her right in the face, and the protective gear made a crisp sound with huge force, knocking her down to the ground.
The victory has been decided.
The instructor at the dojo took a sip of tea and shook his head, probably lamenting that someone was probably destined to be an orphan in his life.
"Yes, I have made great progress. Although I have slowed down the speed of drawing the sword, it is already amazing that you can defend yourself after resisting the shock of Qihe. For a newbie in kendo, you are already qualified." Lin Nianqi
He took off his mask and reached out to pull the girl up on the ground.
Su Xiaoqiang took off his mask and his face was a little rosy, not because he was moved or shy, but simply because of the heat. Even though the air conditioning was turned on in the kendo hall, it was still very hot while wearing protective gear. In addition, the lining of the protective gear was removed due to strenuous exercise.
All her clothes were probably stuck to the girl's fair and slim breasts, which was a bit uncomfortable for her who loved to be clean and often wore cool clothes, but she didn't complain at all because the boy opposite was standing here like her.
"Is kendo a compulsory course at Kassel College?" Su Xiaoqiang stretched out her hand and put it behind her back, feeling a little painful. Seeing the boy standing in front of her, she did not dare to rub her sore buttocks too much. She felt that she did not cry.
It was unbelievable that she had come out. In the past, she would never have imagined that one day she would be beaten with a bamboo sword for a whole day.
"Kendo is not a compulsory course, but actual combat is." Lin Nian saw Su Xiaoqiang's embarrassment, and just gently leaned over to help the girl. After all, the place where she fell was too sensitive, and he couldn't help her rub it.
"Kassel Academy focuses on practical combat. No matter which training direction students are in, they will definitely be proficient in close combat and long-range shooting courses. Even clerks need to be proficient in combat, so I need to try my best to make you adapt before enrolling.
This kind of atmosphere will prevent you from being unable to hold the weapon steady when someone points a gun at you or goes through actual combat drills." Lin Nian casually waved his bamboo sword and let out a frightening whine in the air.
A sharp sound.
In the morning, I came out of Su Xiaoqiang's house and got into the rented Ferrari. The girl originally thought that the bright summer should have bright dreams. The boy would take her to the sunny coastal beach in the coastal city, idling on the cobblestone road while blowing wind.
The sea breeze looked at those couples strolling hand in hand in cool swimsuits, but unfortunately the truth is cruel. The Ferrari did not idle, and the boy did not dream of a date on the beach. After putting it in gear, he kicked the accelerator and hit the road at hundreds of kilometers per hour without turning on the navigation system.
Without hesitation, she pressed all the way to the Children's Palace. Su Xiaoqiang thought that there was no beach, so it would be good to go to the Children's Palace to see the art exhibition held in the city. After all, the art museum is also one of the holy places for dating... Then she watched the boy take her there
Under the charming smile of a middle-aged instructor, the kendo gym put a protective gear that looked like a turtle shell on her body.
If you fail to guess the coin, the date will turn into a beating. Any girl would probably have a full anger meter, but this trick doesn't work with Lin Nian, because according to Su Xiaoqiang's understanding of him, if any girl loses her temper in front of him,
, there is no "coaxing" option in his mind at all, but he thinks there is something wrong with your brain, so he turns away very naturally and thinks in his heart that this person is a pure idiot... It is for this reason that Su Xiaoqiang was in high school.
I have always felt at ease with this boy, because any green tea person who approaches the boy with scheming intentions will be met with disappointment. If anyone has a brain twitch and hints that Lin Nian should buy her something as a gift... the outcome is not too bad.
good.
"Let's take a rest." Lin Nian looked at the girl whose hair was stuck to the sweat on her forehead and nodded, put down the bamboo sword in her hand, and helped her take off her thick protective gear, revealing a white Taoist uniform that was wet with sweat.
, after gently pulling open the collar of some gi uniforms, you will see the beautiful collarbones, which are also wet with sweat. If you reach out and gently scrape, you can still get some shiny water stains on the collarbones.
Su Xiaoqiang sat there and rested. Lin Nian turned around and went to bring her cold tea outside the dojo. As he walked over, he saw the coach sitting next to him looking at him with a look of regret on his face and shaking his head, "You have fallen...
"
“?” Lin Nian reached for the tea with a confused expression.
“Xiao Nian, I remember you said that you don’t eat grass from the edge of your nest... things are really unpredictable.”
Lin Nian looked back at Su Xiaoqiang and wanted to refute something, but couldn't say anything. He took the cold tea and put it next to the girl. The coach smiled and waved for him to come and sit down, "When did the relationship be confirmed?"
"Not yet." Lin Nian sat next to the coach, picked up the herbal tea, gently rubbed the rim of the cup and took a sip.
"No? It seems like you are more than a friend and a lover is not satisfied? You can bring a girl to the kendo gym to be beaten all day long. Your relationship is beyond that of many ordinary couples." The coach said, today
For the sake of Lin Nian, all the training classes at the Musashi Kendo Hall had a special day off, and the venue was reserved for the two of them. The coach, who had nothing to do, just made a pot of tea and watched boys beating girls from morning to afternoon. During this period, there was nothing but lunch.
Any recreational activity, putting on protective gear is just a turn of actual combat practice, and the roar of Qi He makes a middle-aged man like him a little unsure of his tea.
What surprised him the most was that this beautiful girl like a rich lady actually withstood a whole day of training. According to the coach's life experience, such a delicate girl would inevitably complain after an hour at most, and according to the coach's life experience,
He knew Lin Nian's character. If a girl complained, she would probably pack up her things and be thrown out of the kendo gym and get out... After finally seeing Lin Nian bring a girl on a "date", he was ready to be the peacemaker.
(That's why he sat here for a day), but this scene never happened. The girl didn't say a word of complaint. She really didn't have enough strength, so she sat down to rest. After the rest, she gritted her teeth and stood up to continue practicing. She was persistent.
It was just like the boy the coach once saw standing outside the window of the kendo gym.
"It's not that you two are a good match." The coach looked at the girl in the distance who was lying on the ground with bare feet, facing the ceiling, closing her eyes slightly and exhaling, sweating profusely, and then looked at the expressionless Lin Nian in front of him and said, "You two
The two are simply a match made in heaven...Why don't you just say it outright?"
“It’s not too late to talk about that after some troublesome things are resolved.”
“Have you kissed me?” The coach suddenly opened his eyes, his old face was full of trepidation.
"No."
“Is there no chance or are they unwilling?”
“It’s not yet time.”
“It seems like I really like it.” The coach suddenly turned his head and sighed, “Whenever I talked about these things before, you would subconsciously stop talking, but you are different today.”
Lin Nian didn't say anything but nodded. The coach looked at Su Xiaoqiang in the distance and nodded, "This girl is really nice. I can tell she likes you very much. If you like her too, don't miss it... I told you before
It's better to find someone who likes you than to find someone who likes you. In this way, you will never suffer in a relationship. Even if you become a scumbag, others will be hurt... I know it's not good for me to say this, but after all, you
You have a better relationship with me. I think things will always turn towards the people who are close to me. But it is particularly good for you to be like this now. You have met someone who likes you and someone you like, instead of just treating her as a person in the future.
The basis for advancement, the purity of emotion can outweigh the despicability of interests. In this case, don’t miss it, seize the opportunity to fight for an eternity that people of our age can’t even imagine.”
“Is this advice given to young people by experienced people?”
"I always thought you would be single for the rest of your life... Xiaonian, you are too straightforward. Whether it is relationships or life, you know the twists and turns in things but you are unwilling to give way. You will do whatever you want.
It seems ignorant. People like you will be beaten when entering society...or the person who gets beaten may be your immediate boss. If they lose face to you, you dare to pick on them. But it is really fun to do this. The consequences
You have to think about it too." The coach said, "Sometimes just tolerate it if you can, and don't rush to fall out. The same goes for relationships. The girl is really good in my opinion, so I should pamper her more and let her
Be happy, the happiest thing for someone who likes you is for you to show your love for her. If you understand this, the two of you will be much more relaxed and go further in the future."
“Is today the life coaching session?” Lin Nian glanced at the coach and said calmly.
"Well, I don't have to teach you swordsmanship anymore. I can only say some nice words to add some life experience to you. Otherwise, how could you, who are prosperous and wealthy in the United States, still remember that there is still someone like me in a children's palace in a remote rural area?
Character?" the coach teased with a smile, "If nothing else, when will you two confirm your relationship? Let's talk for a few more years and get married right away when we are old enough to get married. Maybe I can even drink your wedding wine and give you a wedding gift.
A red envelope."
"It's far away." Lin Nian drank the herbal tea in one gulp and stood up. Not far away, Su Xiaoqiang turned his head and sniffed when he saw it. He stood up hard and prepared to continue being whipped by the young swordsman master, but at this moment
At that moment, Lin Nian's cell phone placed on the side of the floor suddenly rang. He glanced down at the incoming call and picked up the phone to answer the call. Su Xiaoqiang stood in the dojo and watched the boy speak a few words to the other end of the phone and then raised his head slightly and said to her,
"That's it for today."
"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoqiang did not feel relieved because the training was over, but subconsciously took a few steps forward and asked.
“It’s something that was expected.” Lin Nian put down his cell phone and looked at the red setting sun passing through the gaps between the plane trees outside the kendo hall window, “Lu Mingfei rejected the Kassel Gate.”
