Forced to Fight Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan Was Truly Angry

As she spoke, Jiang Nannan took one of Lin Fan's hands and hurried toward another part of the grounds.

Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. "All right... Jiang Nannan, don't pull so fast! I can barely keep up!"

He had no idea where she was taking him or what kind of boxing she intended to teach him.

Still, he might as well give it a try.

"Got it~" Jiang Nannan replied cheerfully.

She led Lin Fan to a spot on the training field.

Hundreds of people were running, exercising, and working out there.

The field was new, which surprised Lin Fan. It looked like a cross between a running track and a gym.

"Jiang Nannan, why did you bring me to the training field to practice boxing?"

Lin Fan paused.

"Lin Fan, you don't get it, do you?" Jiang Nannan said with a grin.

"There are punching bags here, so it's a good place to practice. We're at the academy, after all. That's why I brought you here."

We couldn't do it in the dorm, either. She'd get expelled for taking me into the Girls' Dormitory.

"Oh," Lin Fan said, finally understanding.

Jiang Nannan spoke again.

"I'll start teaching you now."

"Okay," Lin Fan agreed.

Jiang Nannan stepped beside him and adjusted his stance one part at a time: his feet first, then his body, and finally his raised arms.

Lin Fan has a nice build. I want to hug him. He's such a handsome, talented junior.

Lin Fan cooperated carefully as Jiang Nannan adjusted his posture from head to toe.

He hadn't expected her to position him herself.

Before long, Jiang Nannan had him in the right stance.

Then she said, "I'll teach you from behind. Just follow my lead."

She moved behind Lin Fan and took hold of both his hands.

Lin Fan swallowed. He felt Jiang Nannan against his back—and the two towering peaks pressed against him. His heart jolted. "Okay."

She's guiding me from behind, but those peaks are huge. So... so...

Standing behind Lin Fan, Jiang Nannan began guiding his arms and legs. She looked at the punching bag in front of them. "Raise your hands."

A sweet fragrance reached Lin Fan, sharpening his senses. He raised his hands and looked at the bag.

"Mm..."

She smells so good. It's like standing among flowers. The fragrance drifted over his shoulder, mingled with a faint trace of sweat.

Then, as soon as she finished speaking,

Jiang Nannan guided Lin Fan's arm, held it firm, and drove his fist toward the punching bag.

The punch dented the bag and sent it swinging with a loud thud.

But to Lin Fan, the punch Jiang Nannan had guided carried only her fragrance through the air. It struck the bag without much force.

This boxing technique doesn't feel half as powerful as mine. He kept that thought to himself.

"Punch like that!" Jiang Nannan said earnestly.

Lin Fan feels so soft. It's lovely. He's just a little small—if only he were a bit bigger~

Lin Fan nodded. "Okay."

He didn't think much of the technique, but he had time to spare. A little practice wouldn't hurt.

Before long, the sounds of their training drew a curious crowd over to see who was practicing.

The onlookers were stunned: Jiang Nannan, the beauty of the outer academy, was teaching a freshman.

Envy and jealousy showed plainly on their faces as they watched. Unable to taste the grapes, they could only call them sour.

What stung most was that Jiang Nannan was personally teaching that kid.

"Wow, Jiang Nannan's teaching a freshman how to box!"

"That kid's so lucky!"

"If she were teaching me, I could die happy!"

They all wanted a lesson from someone so beautiful. An opportunity like that was hard to come by.

"Lin Fan, don't listen to them. They'll spoil our mood. Let's concentrate on practicing," Jiang Nannan murmured.

"Okay, Jiang Nannan," Lin Fan replied seriously.

Jiang Nannan continued guiding him. She held his arm and led him into a straight punch toward the bag.

The bag swayed, but the punch went wide and struck empty air.

Lin Fan had lost focus for a moment.

Jiang Nannan tightened her hold on his arm and said gently, "Don't let them distract you, Lin Fan. That punch missed. Let's try again."

The warmth of her touch made Lin Fan's chest tighten. He nodded. "Okay..."

He still thought the technique was nothing special, but Jiang Nannan looked so serious that he gave it a little more attention.

They kept practicing. Though the last punch had missed, the next one struck the bag.

They practiced together like that. Sometimes a punch went astray, only for the next to land cleanly. They looked almost like a couple.

Watching Jiang Nannan teach Lin Fan, the crowd stared at him with contempt, itching to hit someone. They muttered among themselves.

"That kid's useless!"

"Even worse than me!"

"If it were me, I'd have learned it already!"

They couldn't believe someone could be so hopeless after such a long lesson.

"Move aside! Say anything bad about Jiang Nannan, and I'll beat you!" Xu Sanshi shouted.

He had heard news of Jiang Nannan and rushed over without stopping.

The crowd exchanged glances. Seeing Xu Sanshi, they parted to let him through. Everyone knew how he felt about Jiang Nannan...

Once they had cleared a path,

Xu Sanshi walked forward and saw Jiang Nannan teaching Lin Fan, the same kid from before. Rage flared in him. "Damn it, Lin Fan! You dare cozy up to my Jiang Nannan like that? I don't care if you're a freshman."

Proving it can wait. I have to teach this kid a lesson and put a stop to this.

She's never done that with me. I want her to teach me like that, too.

Lin Fan must have talked Jiang Nannan into doing this. I have to stop him.

Xu Sanshi struck at once. He sprinted toward Lin Fan and reached out to grab him.

"Look out, Jiang Nannan!"

Lin Fan suddenly noticed Xu Sanshi charging at them.

He swiftly pulled free of Jiang Nannan, pushed her aside, and dodged. The attack only grazed him. That was close. If it had hit, I'd have more than a scrape.

Xu Sanshi attacked from behind. I'll have to teach him a lesson.

Xu Sanshi stared in shock at Lin Fan, who had evaded him. Are you kidding me? How did he dodge that? I almost had him.

There's definitely something strange about this kid. Once I catch him, I'll make him tell me how he did it.

Then I might be able to prove it to Jiang Nannan after all~

Lin Fan strode forward, lifted his leg, and kicked swiftly at Xu Sanshi.

The kick swept straight toward Xu Sanshi's forehead, whistling through the air.

Xu Sanshi was startled and nearly reacted too late. He threw up an arm to block it, then shoved Lin Fan's leg away with all his strength.

"You're fast too, kid!"

With that, Xu Sanshi charged at Lin Fan and lunged with both hands to grab him.
