258: Chapter 257 Is Sending Flowers a Confession?
“Since you’re so convinced, come at me, hmph!
I want to see just how capable you are, to hit my vitals three times in a row.” Chu Tianba was also someone who refused to concede defeat.
This time he was much more cautious, paying attention to protect his vitals and not attacking hastily like before, but slowly approaching Tangyu, probing with his attacks.
Chu Tianba didn’t launch an offensive this time.
Tangyu, not wanting to waste time, moved toward Chu Tianba with a Tiger Step and threw a punch at Chu Tianba’s face.
Chu Tianba saw Tangyu’s punch coming and chuckled inwardly, raising his fist to block.
He thought if Tangyu’s fist hit anywhere else, he would admit defeat.
Although such a victory would be disgraceful for him, if his opponent was insisting on it, he had no choice.
Seeing Chu Tianba’s move, Tangyu couldn’t help but smile to himself.
This swing of his arm was exposing his underarm again.
If he did nothing, Tangyu wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
As Chu Tianba’s arm swung, Tangyu suddenly withdrew his power, his fist changed its trajectory with a bizarre twist, and struck toward Chu Tianba’s underarm.
“What!” Chu Tianba’s face changed slightly, his heart emitting a shock.
He wanted to dodge or block, but he found the opponent’s fist was too fast.
Before he could react, Tangyu’s punch landed heavily under Chu Tianba’s arm, pushing him back three steps.
Tangyu had not used much force this time, less than before, so although Chu Tianba took a punch to a vital area, he didn’t feel too much pain.
“That’s the second punch.
One more and you lose,” said Tangyu with an indifferent face.
“Haha, Chu Tianba, I told you weren’t a match for my good brother, right?
You might be unmatched in school, but there are plenty more out there who are much more formidable than you,” Zhao Yaya exclaimed, as excited as if she had won the lottery.
Her laughter also made Chu Tianba’s face turn somewhat red.
“I haven’t lost yet,” Chu Tianba could only say with a flush face.
“Whether you lost or not, you’re no match for my good brother.
If he hadn’t held back, you would have been crying by now,” Zhao Yaya said.
Chu Tianba’s face became completely red, and with a look of defiance at Tangyu, he let out a soft shout and once again charged toward Tangyu.
This time, his aggression was much fiercer than the previous two, and his high side kick was powerful, sweeping toward Tangyu like a stone pillar.
It seemed Chu Tianba’s fighting spirit had been fully ignited.
A man can’t afford to appear weak in front of a girl he likes.
Tangyu dodged left and right, but Chu Tianba’s offensive was like an overwhelming flood, the kicks making sounds like air explosions with each blow, filled with power.
It wasn’t that Tangyu didn’t dare to engage with Chu Tianba’s attacks, but if his third punch didn’t hit Chu Tianba’s underarm, then he would be considered the loser.
Therefore, he could only dodge and wait for the perfect opportunity to strike.
“You stepped on dog poop,” Tangyu suddenly said.
Chu Tianba instinctively looked down, but when he saw the clean ground, he realized he had been tricked.
That moment of hesitation was fatal.
By the time he looked up, Tangyu was already close to him.
He tried to step back, but felt a surge of pain in his underarm, and his body involuntarily retreated a step.
He lost!
He truly lost, having taken three punches to his vitals.
He had been utterly defeated.
Chu Tianba’s face flushed, and he looked at Tangyu with a heated gaze, seemingly unconvinced because of the last punch.
Tangyu smiled faintly and said, “The so-called ‘all is fair in war.’ This simple truth you should understand.
Battle is not about righteousness or mercy.
Battle is ruthless, only victory or defeat defines a hero.
I told you before, you lack real combat experience.
If you meet a true master, you will suffer for it.
Not only are you full of openings, but you are also so easily fooled.
Do you know, on the battlefield, even a moment’s distraction can be enough to cost you your life.
So don’t feel wronged by your defeat.
When you lose, the best thing to do is to look for the reasons within yourself.
You have the makings of a good martial artist, just keep working hard.” After speaking, Tangyu turned and walked away with Guo Momo and the other two girls.
Chu Tianba stood there, stunned, a glimmer of light flickering in his eyes and his mind shaken, thinking deeply about Tangyu’s words, which were a great inspiration to him.
As the saying goes, ‘A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.’ Only through continuous failures and setbacks can a person grow quickly.
“Haha, good brother, you truly are my idol, ah!
You completely took the fight out of Chu Tianba.
Hmph, let’s see if he still dares to pester me,” Zhao Yaya said, holding hands with Guo Momo and Lin Feifei, excitedly speaking to Tangyu.
“He’s not a bad guy, why do you dislike him so much?” Tangyu asked.
Guo Momo glanced at Tangyu.
Although she wasn’t very familiar with Chu Tianba, she knew of him.
Chu Tianba was indeed decent, not like other arrogant and haughty scions nor a profligate son with heavy indulgences.
Zhao Yaya shook her head and said, “Dislike means dislike, there’s no need for so many whys.
I don’t care whether he’s bad or not.
Good or bad, I don’t bother with that much.”
The four of them soon returned to the residential area.
Zhao Yaya suddenly smiled and turned to Tangyu, “Good brother, weren’t you planning to give someone a surprise today?
Others buy flowers; are you prepared?”
“Flowers, I need to prepare flowers?
Is this what you city people like?” Tangyu asked.
“Yes, yes, of course, you have to prepare flowers.
That’s how it is here,” Zhao Yaya immediately nodded and said.
“Oh, I see.
Then you guys go back first, and I’ll go buy flowers,” Tangyu said.
“Mm-hmm, go on, good brother, we support you, we’ll wait for you at home,” Zhao Yaya said.
Tangyu really did turn around to buy flowers.
Watching Tangyu’s departing figure, Lin Feifei’s face turned as red as a ripe apple.
Her little hands were pinching so hard, almost drawing blood.
Her mind was a mess, with thoughts flashing by, making her heartbeat pound.
“Hehe, Feifei, the good brother is going to confess to you later,” Zhao Yaya said with a proud smile, as if she was taking credit for the deed.
Lin Feifei blushed and lowered her head, “That’s not true, don’t talk nonsense, he didn’t say the surprise was for me.”
“How can it not be for you?
Obviously, it’s for you, Feifei.
Look, the good brother went to pick you up first, and he said he will give you a surprise.
If it’s not for you, then who is it for?
Could it be for me?” Zhao Yaya said.
Lin Feifei bit her lips as if they could bleed.
Guo Momo was the most mature among the three.
Although this was Lin Feifei’s personal affair and she indeed recognized Tangyu, she felt a bit strange.
After all, Lin Feifei was still a little too young.
Besides, it was the most stressful time of their senior year in high school, and they couldn’t afford to be distracted by this.
“Feifei, you have to think this through.
You are still young and might not have a mature understanding of love,” Guo Momo said.
Lin Feifei was so embarrassed she wished she could crawl into a hole, “I know that, Momo, let’s not talk about this anymore.
Let’s go back, I’m dying of embarrassment.”
“Hehe, why so shy, Feifei?
You are about to be eighteen.
It’s fine to be in a relationship.
Why so bashful?
Many first years in our school are dating, even going to hotels, oh right, and some are even living together.
So, it’s really nothing.
I know you’ve always liked the good brother, and didn’t you two already ‘that’?” Zhao Yaya said.
“Shut your mouth, don’t talk anymore, you’re always so talkative,” Lin Feifei said with her face flushed red.
Tangyu, who had gone to buy flowers, didn’t know that a huge misunderstanding was waiting for him.
When he came back with a bouquet of eighty-eight roses, strongly recommended by the florist, and a bottle of champagne for celebration, he felt the atmosphere at home was a bit off.
Guo Momo and Zhao Yaya were both staring at him, while Lin Feifei’s face was red like the sunset, as if a light squeeze would make blood ooze out.
This atmosphere puzzled Tangyu as he glanced over the three girls.
What’s wrong with Feifei?
Did Momo and the others bully her?
“Xinjie and Feifei haven’t come back yet,” Tangyu said, looking into the kitchen.
Zhao Yaya immediately stood up excitedly and came to Tangyu’s side, looking at the bouquet in his hands, “Wow, such a big bouquet of roses, and it smells so good.
Wow, there’s even champagne.
Good brother, you’ve really thought of everything, we can celebrate right away.”
“Yeah, they were purchased for the celebration,” Tangyu nodded.
“Hehe, good brother, you’ve been planning this all along, even the celebration is ready.
You’re really confident,” Zhao Yaya laughed.
Tangyu was startled, glanced at Zhao Yaya, and didn’t quite understand what she meant, but he couldn’t be bothered with this quirky little girl.
Seeing Tangyu actually bought such a big bouquet of roses to confess to Lin Feifei and even prepared champagne for celebration, Guo Momo felt a strange sensation.
It was not entirely one of happiness for Feifei, but an indescribable feeling.
Lin Feifei could hear her own heartbeat, which she felt might have reached 120, and her whole body was burning.
Especially her face, it felt like it was on fire.
“Really, if you’re going to confess, just confess, why make it so romantic and buy such a big bouquet of roses?
And it’s so sudden, even the champagne is ready.
It’s not like I said I’ll definitely accept your pursuit,” Lin Feifei thought about what to answer once Tangyu confesses.
She couldn’t just agree right away, could she?
Wouldn’t that make her seem too easy?
But if she doesn’t agree immediately, how should she respond kindly?
Thinking about this, Lin Feifei felt her heart might leap out of her throat.
She had never encountered such a situation and was genuinely at a loss on how to respond.
They say happiness comes too swiftly, like being hit on the head and knocked out.
Maybe that’s what Lin Feifei was feeling.
These days, she had been pondering whether she really fell for Tangyu.
The rumors about her and Tangyu at school have spread wildly.
And with Zhao Yaya, that little girl, always babbling in her ear, it made Lin Feifei conflicted.
Maybe, she did like him.
