Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Trust Level Greatly Increased↑
"Zhu Yuan, let me ask a question. Who have you trained with before?"
Mo Xuan felt that he was very likely to face a situation where he had to suppress his gun. A Kamen Rider who used a gun was rare. How could he suppress this? Zhu Yuan was too unguarded against him.
"Me? Only Senior Qingyi. She's very strong."
Zhu Yuan was doing warm-up stretches and answered Mo Xuan's question very normally. Now he understood. But he couldn't remind her of this. He couldn't just say he couldn't suppress his gun, right?
"Let's start. When training, first look at your opponent's eyes. Although when we face Ethereals, they don't have eyes."
Zhu Yuan raised her hands in a traditional fighting stance and even told a joke to ease the atmosphere. Mo Xuan, who had been looking down before, immediately looked at her eyes. Looking at her eyes indeed didn't pose a risk of having to suppress his gun. After his attention was diverted, he wouldn't be so interested in her overly prominent figure.
Mo Xuan, as the one being trained, naturally didn't have much pressure. He chose to attack first. He went forward and feigned a punch, but actually kicked at Zhu Yuan's lower body. Legs are longer than arms and can launch an attack from a greater distance. However, he had underestimated Zhu Yuan's combat experience and physical power. The female officer raised her right foot to avoid his attack, and at the same time, the sole of her foot had already kicked him in the chest. If she weren't wearing shoes, this kick would have definitely left Mo Xuan breathless.
"Your movements are superfluous. Again."
"Not enough force. Again."
"Your stance is not stable enough. Again."
Zhu Yuan had now become a qualified captain. Although the expression on her face was not stern, it was very serious. Every time she said "again," it was when Mo Xuan was beaten back. Mo Xuan didn't feel ashamed of being beaten by a woman. Zhu Yuan's skills were all learned step by step from the police academy. It was very normal for her to be stronger than a half-baked guy like him.
Although Mo Xuan was constantly being beaten back, his positive attitude was greatly appreciated by Zhu Yuan. As long as he didn't slack off, one day he could become like her. This was also her expectation for her team members.
Mo Xuan, however, felt something was wrong as he fought. Something called déjà vu appeared in his mind. It was a completely new experience, but he suddenly had a feeling that he had experienced this scene before.
At this time, Zhu Yuan used her right leg for a high side kick. Mo Xuan felt as if he had seen this move before. He quickly reacted subconsciously, dodging at an extremely fast speed while pushing off with his feet. Before Zhu Yuan could react, he had ducked and hugged her supporting left leg, right at the base of her thigh.
Mo Xuan used all his strength and lifted the unshakably stable Zhu Yuan off the ground. When Zhu Yuan's thigh came down, it was as if she were riding sideways on Mo Xuan's shoulder.
"Ah—"
Zhu Yuan let out a cry of surprise. Because this shoulder-riding position inevitably rubbed against her most sensitive area, her body couldn't maintain its balance for a moment, and she fell from Mo Xuan's shoulder.
Zhu Yuan's body fell into a soft embrace. Mo Xuan looked down at the female officer who had once again fallen into his arms. At this time, her cheeks were slightly red. He didn't know if it was because of the intense exercise or the ambiguous action just now. Although she knew Mo Xuan didn't do it on purpose, and his counterattack was very well-executed, as a woman, how could she not care about that kind of contact?
Time seemed to stand still. Mo Xuan's throat swallowed hard. Zhu Yuan was so beautiful at this moment. He already had a crush on her, and now this opportunity was like a gift from heaven... No, wait, it seems it was from Daddy 02. The déjà vu just now was definitely related to the 02 system. Otherwise, with Mo Xuan's strength, how could he have made such a quick evasion? That was not a move a human could make.
Zhu Yuan also didn't know what was wrong with her. Her heart was beating much faster. This had nothing to do with intense exercise. It was just that she felt embarrassed. Actually, she should have gotten off Mo Xuan quickly at this time, but her body seemed to have lost its strength. It felt good to lean in his arms.
'Ring-ring-ring~'
A phone ringtone broke the atmosphere. Zhu Yuan came back to her senses and found that it was her phone ringing. She quickly got off Mo Xuan and went to the shelf where she had placed her things to pick up her phone.
"Mom? I'm free. I'm not on my lunch break. What's up?"
Zhu Yuan's conversation did not avoid Mo Xuan. She leaned against the wall, her right leg crossed over her left, and responded to the voice on the other end of the phone in a gentle tone.
Mo Xuan very naturally walked to Zhu Yuan's side and picked up a towel to wipe his sweat. At this distance, he heard a gentle female voice on the phone. It was obviously the Auntie Zhu he had never met before.
"How could this happen? Is Dad okay? Did he sprain his ankle? That's good."
Zhu Yuan's voice suddenly became a little tense. It seemed someone in her family was in trouble. After hearing it was a minor injury, she calmed down again, then responded to the phone a few more times before hanging up.
"Something happened at home?"
Mo Xuan asked seemingly unintentionally. In fact, he was very concerned about Zhu Yuan's family situation. As a teammate, how could he stand by and do nothing?
"Mhm, my dad sprained his ankle when he went out to buy groceries today. I don't know who was so wicked as to move the manhole cover on his necessary path a little."
Zhu Yuan said angrily. But she couldn't say for sure that it was intentional. Even if it were a manhole cover thief, they wouldn't just move it a little and leave, right? A prankster wouldn't be so boring either. She could only say her dad was unlucky.
"This... does it count as theft?"
Mo Xuan's expression was calm. In fact, he was sweating profusely behind his back. Fortunately, he was already sweating. Now he knew why he had an impression of the manhole cover. To plot against his future father-in-law, was this something a human would do?
"Is that what you're concerned about?"
Zhu Yuan looked at Mo Xuan with a half-crying, half-laughing expression and asked. She also didn't know if it counted as theft, but shouldn't the concern at this time be her father's condition?
"Ahaha, well, I don't have experience in handling this," Mo Xuan said with an awkward laugh.
Zhu Yuan rarely gave him a white eye. Since something like this had happened, Zhu Yuan also suspended the training. The two sat on the floor of the training room against the wall to rest.
"I'm going to talk about my parents. Do you mind?"
Zhu Yuan turned to look at Mo Xuan and asked. They had to talk about something during the break. Talking about work was too boring, so she wanted to talk to him about her parents. But then she thought that Mo Xuan had no family and was naturally concerned about his feelings.
"Of course not. I've long since gotten used to it."
Mo Xuan repeatedly shook his head and said. Zhu Yuan's willingness to share her family situation was a sign of her trust in him. Of course, he had to accept it all. Seeing his carefree appearance, Zhu Yuan also started talking about her family, her parents, and the happiness of being an only child. Mo Xuan felt envious just listening. No wonder she had become such a person. Of course, it was inseparable from the care of parents with correct values.
