Chapter 6: From the mountains, Wudang Mountain
Chapter 6
Kong Mingze rushed into the cafeteria looking for someone and immediately ran over when he saw Wei Shixu.
Angrily, Kong Mingze asked, "I heard that Zuo Zichen beat up a girl in our class? Where is he?"
Wei Shixu replied, "He's been taken to the hospital."
Kong Mingze was shocked, "What?! Zuo Zichen sent a girl from our class to the hospital?! Damn, he's asking for trouble!"
Wei Shixu explained, "It was Zuo Zichen who got sent to the hospital. His hand got broken."
Kong Mingze was stunned, "Huh? How did it happen?"
Wei Shixu answered, "The girl fought back."
Wide-eyed with astonishment, Kong Mingze exclaimed, "Wow! Who is this fierce girl in our class? How come I didn't know about her?"
Wei Shixu pointed at Quan Zhisui and said, "It's her."
Kong Mingze was confused, "???"
Quan Zhisui opened her mouth to say something, but at that moment, it was their turn in the line, and the cafeteria lady poked her head out, holding a large ladle.
Kong Mingze generously took out his meal card and said, "My treat, follow me later and tell me how you fought back."
Quan Zhisui's eyes sparkled!
However, before Kong Mingze could extend his meal card, it was blocked by a hand. With a beep, Wei Shixu's meal card was swiped on the machine.
"I'll treat."
His tone was slightly cold.
Kong Mingze was a big fool and completely missed the coldness in Wei Shixu's eyes. He casually put his meal card back in his pocket and grinned, "Wow! That's great!"
Wei Shixu's voice grew colder, "I didn't say I'm treating you."
Kong Mingze: "..."
"Thank you." Quan Zhisui didn't know what else to say. After expressing her gratitude, she began to order her food.
She felt extremely embarrassed. Wei Shixu helped her and even treated her to a meal. Moreover, she ate quite a lot, which made her feel even more guilty.
She glanced at the balance displayed on the machine and was almost shocked!
It started with a 1... and then how many digits?
Five digits!
Wei Shixu had over 10,000 yuan on his meal card! Did he prepay three years' worth of meals?
Quan Zhisui was amazed!
Wei Shixu was a head taller than her, and his voice sounded above her head, "Eat more. I can afford it."
The astonishing balance and his reminder completely eased Quan Zhisui's worries. When she talked to the cafeteria lady, her voice was filled with excitement.
Quan Zhisui was good at ordering food. She balanced the meat and vegetables based on her previous dietary habits at Wudang Mountain. However, she had a big appetite and ordered two portions of rice.
Kong Mingze curiously stared at her tray and then rushed to the counter, shouting to the cafeteria lady, "Auntie, I want the same as her!"
Wei Shixu stopped him, "Wait in line. I'm next."
Kong Mingze turned his head and stared, "Did I offend you? You won't treat me to a meal, and you won't let me eat with you guys."
Wei Shixu ignored him, collected his food, and beckoned the people behind him to come forward, pushing Kong Mingze aside.
Kong Mingze felt a deep grudge, but he was popular at school and had his own cleverness. He managed to cut in line by treating someone to a meal.
By the time he got his food and eagerly found Wei Shixu and Quan Zhisui, they had just sat down and hadn't eaten much yet.
"Hehe!" Kong Mingze plopped down beside Quan Zhisui and took a couple of bites before bombarding him with three consecutive questions. "Hey, how did you counterattack Zuo Zichen? Did he hurt you? Why did he bother you?"
Wei Shixu sat across from them, his expression calm and devoid of emotion.
Quan Zhisui swallowed a mouthful of food and answered in order, "His bone density is too low and fragile, he did manage to hit me, and he dislikes me, so he wanted to cause trouble."
Kong Mingze exclaimed in shock, "What?! He hit you? How are you okay?"
Quan Zhisui was rendered speechless by his exaggerated reaction.
Wei Shixu handed him his phone and said, "It's too noisy. See for yourself."
Kong Mingze replied, "Oh, okay."
At first, he watched the video while eating normally, but as soon as it finished playing, he froze in place.
Wei Shixu reached out his hand and said, "Give me back my phone after you're done."
Kong Mingze said, "Wait! Let me watch it again, I missed something."
During the second viewing, he paid extra attention and soon started shouting in excitement.
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe it! Wow...just wow!"
Quan Zhisui remained silent.
Kong Mingze returned the phone and looked at Quan Zhisui with a different expression. Once again, he transformed into a curious baby and asked, "He really hit you in the video, but how did his bone 'snap' like that? Are you just lucky, or is there some other reason?"
Quan Zhisui replied, "I told you, his bones are brittle."
Kong Mingze nodded vigorously, trying to understand. "So, your bones are strong?"
That statement sounded strange.
Quan Zhisui rolled up the sleeves of his uniform, revealing his forearms. "My bone density is high."
Kong Mingze stared at his arms, his mouth forming an 'o' shape in astonishment.
He was indeed thin, but not fragile at all. He was lean!
The shape of his arms looked artificial, as if there wasn't an ounce of fat on them. Every muscle had an exceptionally pleasing contour, tightly adhering to the tendons and bones, resembling a perfect work of art.
Especially the section from the wrist to the palm, which displayed a sense of motion as he held the chopsticks. Occasionally, the exposed tendons had a fatal allure.
When combined with those ten slender fingers with distinct joints...
Wei Shixu looked up and stared for a long time.
However, Quan Zhisui merely revealed a glimpse and pulled his sleeves back up to continue eating, treating that scene as something ordinary.
Wei Shixu's gaze shifted from his hand to his face, and he suddenly smiled.
Meanwhile, Kong Mingze continued babbling, "Oh my god, Quan Zhisui, you big liar! You said you came from the mountains? Can you work out in the mountains? No, your muscles aren't big like a bodybuilder's..."
He scratched his head, feeling puzzled but unable to find the right words.
Quan Zhisui said seriously, "I am from the mountains, Wudang Mountain."
Kong Mingze widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Wu...ah?! Wudang Mountain!"
Quan Zhisui nodded. "Yes, strictly speaking, it's not working out. I've been practicing martial arts for over ten years."
She had started imitating her senior brothers' punches when she had just learned to walk.
Kong Mingze was once again dumbfounded, his jaw dropping in astonishment. He opened his mouth but couldn't find the words to express his emotions at this moment.
Shock! Surprise! Admiration!
He quickly grasped the opportunity and asked, "But why do you not appear physically strong at all? How do you generate such power?"
Quan Zhisui replied, "Internal martial arts focus on training the tendons and bones, so the muscles are not prominent. External martial arts, on the other hand, emphasize muscular strength. I have been practicing internal martial arts."
Moreover, female muscles are naturally different from those of males, so it's quite challenging to develop bulky muscles. As for how she generates power, she couldn't explain it clearly in a short time.
"Hahaha! Zuo Zichen has met his match!" Kong Mingze exclaimed happily.
He had been displeased with Zuo Zichen for a long time, always flaunting his family's wealth and showing off at school.
"Oh, by the way!" Kong Mingze had many questions and threw another one out, "Why does Zuo Zichen dislike you? You just transferred here, how did you provoke him?"
Wei Shixu was more perceptive and asked directly, "Who is Zuo Zichen to you?"
Quan Zhisui answered directly as well, "He's my half-brother from the same father."
Kong Mingze was dumbfounded!
He suddenly recalled what Quan Zhisui had said in the morning when she arrived late. Her mother had passed away shortly after her birth, and yesterday was the first time she had met her father. And now, there was a half-brother named Zuo Zichen.
Kong Mingze immediately imagined a grand drama of family feuds in a prestigious household!
