Chapter 1180: Chapter 1179: Ice Skating
Xia Tiantian took Ye Qiu to the ticket counter, where each ticket costs twenty yuan. You can bring your own ice skating shoes, but if not, you can rent them for forty yuan per pair, with a deposit of one hundred yuan per pair.
Xia Tiantian took out her pocket money and bought two tickets and two pairs of ice skating shoes, all selected according to their shoe sizes.
However, Ye Qiu felt these ice skating shoes were unclean, given so many people were wearing them.
Now that they’re here, they should definitely go inside.
After taking the ice skating shoes and going inside, Ye Qiu realized that the skating rink was several thousand square meters. The people skating were mostly young men and women, as well as kids and students, with some instructors teaching those willing to pay.
The indoor skating rink was quite warm, different from outside.
Now that Ye Qiu and Xia Tiantian were inside, they felt the warm air. Xia Tiantian directly took off her jacket and put it aside, then looked at Ye Qiu and said, "Teacher Ye, do you want me to teach you to skate?"
It’s quite obvious that Xia Tiantian has skated before.
"You go play by yourself, I’ll watch."
None of this was interesting to Ye Qiu.
Even though Xia Tiantian had rented him a pair of ice skating shoes, Ye Qiu didn’t put them on and just sat there.
"Really boring."
Xia Tiantian started skating herself, like a happy little bird.
While Xia Tiantian was skating, Ye Qiu sat aside, and his phone rang. It was Ling Fei calling, asking, "Ye Qiu, how’s the tutoring going?"
"She doesn’t want to learn, so now we’re out skating."
Ling Fei expected Ye Qiu was tutoring Xia Tiantian in English and math, not that he was taking her out to play.
Ling Fei didn’t know what to say.
Of course, Ling Fei was well aware of Xia Tiantian’s character—a spoiled little princess who plays a lot and never takes tutoring seriously.
But, thinking it over, Ling Fei understood Ye Qiu tutoring Xia Tiantian for two hours wouldn’t result in much learning.
After hanging up with Ling Fei, Ye Qiu saw Xia Tiantian happily skating while some young boys went over to tease her.
Xia Tiantian ignored these punks and continued playing.
Despite being young, Xia Tiantian was attractive and mature, easily drawing attention from other boys.
"Hey little girl, want to play with your big brother?"
A red-haired young boy said.
Xia Tiantian spat disdainfully and said, "Disgusting and non-trendy, get away from me! I won’t play with your kind."
Xia Tiantian felt this boy was revolting, especially his messy red hair and unwashed eye gunk.
What Xia Tiantian said made the red-haired punk lose face immediately. He tried to grab her, but she was too skilled for him to catch.
"Come on, chase me, redhead ghost!"
Xia Tiantian said teasingly.
People around laughed.
Redhead felt more humiliated and chased her on his skates, but Xia Tiantian was too fast for him.
After chasing her far and for many laps, when he started panting, Xia Tiantian stopped ahead and laughed, "Come on, redhead ghost, hurry up!"
"Don’t you dare run!"
Redhead not only chased himself but also called his friends, five punks with dyed hair, to go after her, the kind non-trendy people Xia Tiantian despised.
Now, fearing five along with redhead, Xia Tiantian knew she’d be caught.
Ye Qiu, seeing Xia Tiantian in danger, had no choice but to put on the skates.
This sort of place is naturally chaotic, crowded, and Xia Tiantian’s looks obviously attract trouble.
Who could have thought trouble would arise in less than half an hour?
Ye Qiu had never skated before, but knew balancing and daring were key, and with his circumstances, he quickly mastered it.
In a flash, he was beside Xia Tiantian.
Seeing Ye Qiu arrive, Xia Tiantian hurriedly shouted, "Teacher Ye, these nasty punks want to grab me, teach them a lesson!"
"Hey kid, where are you from?"
Redhead asked seeing Ye Qiu stand out.
Looking at Ye Qiu’s attire and age, these punks didn’t take him seriously.
"Are there no security guards here?"
Typically such places have security to maintain order and ensure safety. Due to inevitable collisions when skating, conflicts arise needing security to resolve them to prevent fighting.
But Ye Qiu hadn’t seen any security just now.
"There aren’t any."
Xia Tiantian said.
"No, and you dare tease them?"
Ye Qiu asked.
"I find them disgusting and don’t want to tease them. They provoked me first."
Xia Tiantian said.
She was playing by herself and they came over.
Ye Qiu quickly guessed these punks must have teased Xia Tiantian first, and she then toyed with them.
"Kid, this isn’t your business."
Redhead said.
But then Ye Qiu already acted, skating directly to kick redhead hard in the chest, sending him flying seven to eight meters away.
The other five tried to surround Ye Qiu, but he kicked each in the chest, sending them flying from all directions, taking less than a minute, leaving the punks agonizing on the ice unable to stand.
"Teacher Ye, you’re amazing!"
Xia Tiantian cheered seeing all these revolting punks flying away, surprised by Ye Qiu’s prowess.
"Five more minutes, then we’re going home!"
Ye Qiu checked his phone; tutoring time was almost up.
Xia Tiantian pouted, not expecting to go back so soon.
Redhead and his five comrade punks painfully stood, seeing Ye Qiu still there, and wanted trouble again.
Ye Qiu was bored waiting for Xia Tiantian to finish her five minutes when they approached. He skated over to deliver a flying tackle, sending one guy flying.
Redhead and the other four were similarly launch-tackled by Ye Qiu.
For Ye Qiu, handling them was really nothing.
