Push Me Away When I Come, Don't Hold Me Back When I Leave - Chapter 84

Chapter 84: On the Boxing Ring There’s No Difference Between Men and Women, How Old-Fashioned

“I seem to have heard the senior saying something earlier about helping carry the junior’s luggage because it was too heavy?” Xia Ruoming narrowed her eyes at the two of them, “Could it be that the junior heard wrong? That shouldn’t be the case… So, were the seniors lying to the junior?”

The two of them seemed to hear the cracking sound of Xia Ruoming’s knuckles again, and cold sweat was almost soaking through the fabric on their backs.

“No… nothing like that, how could there be, seniors always keep their word, of course we’ll help the junior carry her luggage.”

“Oh, I thought the seniors were trying to trick the delicate junior. If she really got tricked, she might cry here.” Although Xia Ruoming said this, the fake smile on her face made it impossible for anyone to believe these words.

Delicate? You just knocked someone out with one punch, and you call that delicate? You’d cry? I’d believe crocodile tears before I’d believe you crying.

And aren’t you her girlfriend? Why aren’t you showing off a bit, why make us carry the luggage??

Watching the two seniors drag three suitcases, Xia Ruoming picked up Chu Suhe in a princess carry, knowing this little girl was timid and probably could barely stand.

Originally trembling from seeing the previous scene, Chu Suhe, after being carried, kept stealing glances at Xia Ruoming’s face. Whenever Xia Ruoming looked her way, Chu Suhe would quickly avert her gaze and curl up in Xia Ruoming’s arms. Xia Ruoming didn’t tease Chu Suhe at this moment, after all, just seeing Chu Suhe’s blushing face made her happy.

After delivering the luggage to the dormitory entrance, Xia Ruoming put Chu Suhe down. For some reason, Xu Fengwu had been keeping her head down the whole way, lost in thought, and looking closely, there seemed to be a rosy blush on her face.

“Fengwu, Suhe, I have something to do later, so I’ll go first. Let’s have dinner together tonight, my treat,” said Xia Ruoming before waving goodbye to the two.

“Ok… bye, Ruoming.” Xu Fengwu, who usually wasn’t like this, spoke in a voice smaller than a mosquito.

Actually, she wanted to chase after her and ask what that “girlfriend” comment meant, but Chu Suhe was still beside her, so Xu Fengwu gave up in the end.

Even though Chu Suhe was more introverted, she ended up pulling Xu Fengwu into the dormitory.

……

……

Yan Ming had already registered Xia Ruoming’s car and arranged her campus card. From now on, Xia Ruoming’s car could freely enter and exit the school. After thanking Yan Ming again, Xia Ruoming drove away from the campus.

The car stopped in front of a boxing gym on Yile Road in Xihu District. Despite being in a good location, this boxing gym cum mixed fitness center looked quite old, far inferior to those newly built fitness centers.

Xia Ruoming pushed open the boxing gym’s main door, and a man in his thirties was practicing boxing in the ring.

“Sorry, the gym isn’t taking clients at this time, please come back later.” The man on the platform didn’t even turn around when he heard the door open, just shouted towards the entrance, then continued practicing on his own.

“I’m not here for private lessons either.” Xia Ruoming walked to the edge of the ring, then picked up the boxing gloves hanging nearby, put them on and bumped her fists together, “How about a practice match? Boss Qin Wuyue?”

The man on the platform called Boss Qin only then realized it was a female voice, so he curiously glanced at the person below the ring. The newcomer’s height was almost the same as his, he had rarely seen such a tall woman.

“A girl like you coming here to box, and even wanting a practice match? That face is quite pretty, don’t want to make you cry and ruin it.” Seeing it was a young woman wanting to have a practice match with him, Qin Wuyue immediately adopted a disdainful attitude, he had no interest in bullying young girls.

“Tch, on the boxing ring there’s no difference between men and women, how old-fashioned.” Xia Ruoming tried throwing a few punches then continued, “What, is Boss Qin afraid of a weak woman like me?”

“Oh? So you know me?” Hearing this, Qin Wuyue raised his eyebrows curiously. That there’s no difference between men and women on the boxing ring was actually something he often said, and once on the ring, he never showed mercy.

“We’ll know each other after we fight.” As Xia Ruoming spoke, she had already put on all the protective gear and jumped over the ring’s railing, waving her fists at Qin Wuyue, “How about it, Boss Qin, up for a match?”

“Since you insist on having a match… I happen to be itching for one, so I’ll have to accept. But I warn you first, I won’t go easy just because you’re a woman.” Qin Wuyue also put on his protective gear, “In fighting…”

“Fists and feet know no friendship, don’t let it affect our relationship, alright alright, let’s start already.” His words weren’t finished before being interrupted by Xia Ruoming.

Qin Wuyue sneered, seems like this young woman really knew him quite well, first meeting and she could even guess what he was going to say, mimicking it word for word.

After warming up, neither Xia Ruoming nor Qin Wuyue held back, their noses and corners of their mouths even bleeding.

20 minutes later, Xia Ruoming was half-kneeling on the ground, panting while looking at Qin Wuyue who was leaning against the railing. Qin Wuyue took off his helmet, using his arm to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

“Young lady, you’re pretty good, being able to beat me up like this, even those young men might not be able to do it.” Xia Ruoming could hear that it wasn’t just a compliment, Qin Wuyue’s words came completely from his heart.

“Young strength is formidable, Boss, if you were 10 years younger, I probably wouldn’t have been able to handle it.” Xia Ruoming gave a slight bow, this was out of her respect for Qin Wuyue from her previous life, then took off her gloves and protective gear, throwing them on the table beside, and jumped over the railing preparing to leave.

“Young lady doesn’t show any respect for elders at all.”

“Heh, there’s no difference between men and women in the boxing ring, and of course no respect for elders either, Boss Qin is really old-fashioned.”

“What’s your name?”

“Xia Ruoming, Xia from summer, Ruoming from life is but a dream.” Xia Ruoming answered softly, even gesturing in the air.

“Come train at our gym, you have talent, I won’t charge you.” Qin Wuyue extended his hand across the ring, and after a moment, Xia Ruoming’s hand clasped with his.

Qin Wuyue was still such a straightforward person, just like in the previous life.

At that moment, Xia Ruoming remembered many things from her previous life. In her previous life, learning combat from Qin Wuyue had involved a lot of hardship, Qin Wuyue never showed sympathy because she was a woman, but rather seemed to be even more demanding. Being woken up by Qin Wuyue’s phone call at 6 AM, being taken out to do various aerobic exercises, then having to practice boxing after returning to the gym, being more responsible than those who had paid for private coaching, for a long time it was almost unbearable for Xia Ruoming.

But undeniably, it was very effective. If Xia Ruoming was on her own, she probably wouldn’t have had that perseverance. Although she could ensure she exercised daily to maintain bodily functions, this kind of near-torturous load training, she couldn’t persist on her own. She couldn’t maintain this kind of near-suffering load training by herself. Her ability to knock down Liu Guocai with one punch was also thanks to the training from her previous life. When she remembered, Xia Ruoming also immediately came to this boxing gym from her memories.

“In this life too, you’re still the best combat teacher I’ve met, Qin Wuyue.” Xia Ruoming thought in her heart.
