Making a Move

Su Lin stared blankly at Zhou En in front of him, as if he were a human who had just seen a dinosaur.

Even Chubby beside him was a little envious. He lightly nudged Zhou En with his elbow.

"Not bad, Zhou En. I didn't expect you to be so good at sports."

Zhou En smiled faintly, looking like some otherworldly master. This only made everyone label him the king of showing off.

After seeing Zhou En's smug act, Su Lin said, "Brother, are you still pretending?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the barbell plates that had not yet been put on.

Zhou En hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Sixty jin is already my limit."

At those words, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

But they also felt ashamed of Zhou En's showing off. The damn guy could clearly lift a sixty-jin barbell, yet he had insisted on starting with twenty jin.

If that wasn't showing off, then what was?

If Zhou En had known what they were thinking, he would certainly have complained inwardly. I really didn't know how much weight I could lift.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the onlookers turned and left.

"All right, now that the test is over, follow me and train," Su Lin said to Zhou En and Chubby.

"Okay." The two readily agreed and nodded.

Training was always dull and lonely. As newcomers, Zhou En and Chubby were already exhausted after three hours of training.

"Fatty, go buy me a bottle of water," Zhou En said, waving his aching arm.

Chubby lay on the floor like a fat little pig and said weakly, "You go. I'm not going."

Su Lin looked at their half-dead appearances and finally felt a little more balanced.

Just as Zhou En and Chubby were arguing endlessly over who should go buy water, a voice reached everyone's ears.

"All right, today's training is considered complete. Everyone can leave," the beautiful coach said, clapping her hands.

"Yeah, we can finally leave."

"Let's go. The brothers should go out and have a good meal together."

"Hahaha, sure. You're paying, right?"

"Fine, I'll pay. Just don't come looking for me when it's time to settle the bill."

As soon as the beautiful coach finished speaking, the club instantly became a sea of joy.

The end of the school day was exciting for anyone.

"Zhou En, let's go. If you want to sleep, go back to the dorm and sleep," Chubby said to Zhou En as he staggered to his feet.

Chubby seriously suspected that he had lost twenty pounds today.

"Oh."

Zhou En answered and reluctantly got up from the floor, walking toward the club's entrance.

"Zhou En, the coach hasn't left yet?" Chubby glanced back at the beautiful coach and said to Zhou En beside him.

Zhou En couldn't help turning around. He saw the beautiful coach urging five students to continue training.

"Are they the club's official students?" Zhou En asked, sizing up the five students who were training.

He couldn't help feeling a little envious.

"Hey, Zhou En, do you know how skilled the official students are?" Su Lin seemed to have heard Zhou En and couldn't help speaking up.

Before Zhou En could say anything, Su Lin continued.

"Whether it's fighting experience or physical fitness, official students are far beyond what ordinary people can compare with."

"That's not necessarily true. Zhou En has the potential to compete for the status of an official student too." Zhou En's good friend Chubby couldn't take it anymore and spoke up for him.

Su Lin shook his head and said, "The club's current official students have all undergone specialized training, and they also have extensive fighting experience."

"They're far beyond what beginners can compare with."

Zhou En shook his head and held back Chubby, who was about to argue. "Stop arguing. If I'm inferior, then I'm inferior."

Just as Zhou En was preparing to say something else, he suddenly felt a sinister gaze sizing him up.

Following that gaze, he saw that one of the five official students still training in the club was watching him.

Li Hui stared at Zhou En at the classroom door, raised his thumb, and then, under Zhou En's puzzled gaze, made a throat-slitting gesture.

"What's wrong with this guy?" This was the first time Zhou En had encountered such a situation, and he was furious.

"What's wrong, Zhou En?" Chubby asked when he saw Zhou En's angry expression.

Zhou En nodded in Li Hui's direction.

"That guy inexplicably made a throat-slitting gesture at me."

Chubby glanced at Li Hui, patted Zhou En's shoulder, and said in an old-fashioned tone, "You're thinking too much, kid."

Chubby nodded and muttered to himself, "This is the consequence of showing off."

Zhou En felt depressed. Brothers, when did I show off?

Unlike Chubby, Su Lin did not mock Zhou En. Instead, he looked at Zhou En with a serious expression.

"Zhou En, did you offend Li Hui?"

Seeing Su Lin instantly turn serious from his usual playful self, Zhou En was momentarily unable to react.

"Zhou En, whatever you do, don't provoke Li Hui."

Seeing Zhou En's dazed expression, Su Lin felt as if his fist had struck cotton. Even so, he seriously repeated what he had just said.

"Who's Li Hui?" Zhou En asked in confusion.

Su Lin instantly felt terrible.

"Li Hui—the guy who was just looking at you." Su Lin swallowed his anger with great effort and spoke.

"Oh. I don't know him." Zhou En looked completely innocent.

Seeing that Zhou En truly did not know Li Hui, Su Lin let out a long breath.

"Brother, Li Hui is the school's gang leader."

Seeing how unconcerned Zhou En was, Su Lin explained again.

"Think about it. PZH Academy has more than ten thousand students. To be known as the leader in a school like that, he must be extraordinary."

"Even in PZH City, Li Hui has some influence."

"Besides, he holds grudges and is extremely vicious. Anyone who offends him gets beaten into serious injury."

"Don't the police do anything?" Chubby couldn't help interrupting.

"Heh, brother, you need to understand that the world isn't as beautiful as you think, and the police aren't all-powerful."

"Without evidence, the police can't do anything to him. And as long as no one dies, who would really bother managing it?"

After hearing this, Zhou En couldn't help sighing.

Seeing Zhou En's appearance, Su Lin felt a little embarrassed. He reached out and patted Zhou En's shoulder.

"Brother, as long as you didn't offend Li Hui, everything will be fine."

Zhou En nodded, not taking the matter to heart, and left the club with Chubby.

Li Hui watched Zhou En's disappearing back, and a savage smile slowly rose at the corner of his mouth.

He reached out and pressed the send button on his smartwatch, sending the text message he had prepared long ago.
