A Lingering Cold

Fu Xinyu walked briskly, arriving directly at a secluded spot next to the square.

Fu Xinyu chose this spot because he saw that the ground was clean and shiny.

But Fu Xinyu didn't know that the reason this place was a little bright was because Su Ziyang was riding a motorcycle taxi there while he was being beaten up.

"You little brat! We agreed that no matter how badly you get hurt, don't try to extort money from me!"

Fu Xinyu gritted his teeth and said fiercely to Su Ziyang.

Su Ziyang smiled but didn't say anything, waving his hand at Fu Xinyu.

Seeing that Su Ziyang was still provoking him, Fu Xinyu cursed and rushed towards Su Ziyang, his fist aimed straight at Su Ziyang's face.

In reality, ordinary people only use two moves when fighting: kicking, slapping, and punching.

Kick in the stomach, slap in the face, punch in the nose, punch in the eyes.

Fu Xinyu had been fighting since he was a child, and most people probably couldn't beat him. Fu Xinyu's fist went straight for Su Ziyang's nose.

Fu Xinyu's excited expression made it seem as if he could already see Su Ziyang's nose bleeding and him squatting on the ground begging for mercy.

As soon as Su Ziyang saw Fu Xinyu's fist coming towards him, he gently tilted his head, and Fu Xinyu's fist passed right through it.

Then Su Ziyang used a move that Yang Tianzheng often used to throw himself, the Taiji Cloud Hands. Taking advantage of Fu Xinyu's momentum, Su Ziyang turned his body and tripped.

Whew~

Fu Xinyu was sent flying and crashed to the ground with a thud.

Fu Xinyu lay on the ground for a long time before finally getting up. "Fuck your mother!"

Fu Xinyu noticed that Su Ziyang was standing still, staring at him without moving, so he rushed up to Su Ziyang again.

Same trick, same result.

Fu Xinyu flew off to the other side.

Why do you keep falling down?

Su Ziyang looked with a smile at Fu Xinyu, who had just gotten up and was covered in dirt.

"You motherfucker! You think you can live?! You son of a bitch!"

Fu Xinyu cursed and charged forward again. Fu Xinyu remembered an older brother telling him that if you encounter someone who can survive, you should grab them and fight them, then their kung fu will be useless.

But how do you successfully hug the other person?

This seems like a difficult problem!

Fu Xinyu rushed over with his back bent, trying to grab Su Ziyang's legs and knock Su Ziyang down.

However, Su Ziyang used his left foot as a pivot and instantly dodged behind Fu Xinyu.

Fu Xinyu on the back of the neck with his right hand; this move is called "Big Neck Slap"!

He kicked Fu Xinyu in the back of the knee with his right foot, and Fu Xinyu's neck was hit hard, causing him to fall to the ground.

This time, Su Ziyang didn't let Fu Xinyu stand up straight again. After Fu Xinyu staggered to his feet, Su Ziyang knocked Fu Xinyu to the ground again.

This is a move from Baguazhang, Threading the Sleeve Against the Wind".

Fu Xinyu was knocked to the ground again!

Before Fu Xinyu could remember anything, Su Ziyang Fu Xinyu in the ankle, and Fu Xinyu fell to the ground again with a thud.

Fu Xinyu raised his head again, preparing to get up, Su Ziyang used the same trick to kick Fu Xinyu down again.

Fu Xinyu suddenly realized that he was like a three-year-old child in front of Su Ziyang, completely powerless. Moreover, he noticed that Su Ziyang always had a smile on his face, and he felt like a toy being tossed around by Su Ziyang.

Feeling aggrieved, Fu Xinyu decided to lie on the ground and smash his head against the wall, planning to kick Su Ziyang Su Ziyang he arrived.

But Fu Xinyu didn't expect Su Ziyang to pull up his ankle directly.

Su Ziyang grabbed Fu Xinyu and used his brute force to send Fu Xinyu tumbling across the ground.

Fu Xinyu was instantly dazed by the sudden throw. After being tossed to the ground by Su Ziyang, he lay there unable to move for a moment.

"Hehe, do you know what this move is called?"

Su Ziyang patted Fu Xinyu's little face, who was lying motionless on the ground.

"This one's called 'Tornado Destroys the Parking Lot '! I also have a move called 'Crow Takes a Plane '! Watch closely!"

As he spoke, Su Ziyang jumped up and landed on Fu Xinyu's face.

Fu Xinyu was so frightened that he immediately closed his eyes, waiting for the kick that was about to fall from the sky.

With a "smack!"

Fu Xinyu didn't feel any pain on his face. He turned his head and saw that Su Ziyang's shoe was next to his ear, not stepping on his face.

At this moment, Fu Xinyu felt a dampness in his crotch.

What is most important to a man?

It's self-esteem!

Su Ziyang has an incredibly good temper, but he's definitely not the kind of person who wouldn't dare to speak up even if someone were to shit on his head.

So Su Ziyang's goal was to break down the psychological defenses of this arrogant and ignorant mad dog.

Fu Xinyu lay on the ground trembling. Su Ziyang's eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them, and he extended his finger. He wanted to teach Fu Xinyu a lesson he would never forget.

Just as Su Ziyang's finger was about to touch Fu Xinyu's Tanzhong acupoint, a voice stopped Su Ziyang.

"Su Ziyang, stop hitting him!!!"

This person was Bao Mingya had come to settle scores with Su Ziyang.

"Ah! Senior."

Su Ziyang withdrew his finger and turned to greet Bao Mingya.

Bao Mingya ran over in her high heels and frowned when she saw Fu Xinyu, who was covered in dirt and had a wet crotch. "Who... who is this? Why did you hit him!"

"He deserves a beating. If it weren't for him, would I have hung up on you? He came to hit me, that's why I hung up."

Su Ziyang knew Bao Mingya's fiery temper and that Bao Mingya had come to settle scores with him, so he directly shifted all the blame onto Fu Xinyu.

"Ah!" Bao Mingya saw that Fu Xinyu was about to say something, but Su Ziyang pushed Bao Mingya aside.

"Alright, alright. Senior, go wait for me over there."

"Um, um. You said it yourself, a real man's word is his bond! Get lost! I'm leaving!"

Fu Xinyu watched Su Ziyang's departing figure, then glanced at Bao Mingya's graceful silhouette, and burst into tears!

Yes, I cried!

"What's wrong? You've gotten so big for yourselves, now I have to come and invite you myself. Is your senior no longer able to protect you, so you're just spending your Sundays off to me?"

Bao Mingya stopped mentioning Fu Xinyu altogether, and while pulling Su Ziyang toward the parking lot, she continued to berate him.

"Tch, you think you can protect me? Why didn't you use your high heels to kick that kid a couple of times earlier!"

Su Ziyang pouted, said that, and then sped off.

"I wouldn't dare kick anyone else, but I wouldn't dare kick you either, you little brat!"

Bao Mingya truly treated Su Ziyang like a younger brother, and she kicked Su Ziyang in the butt.

"Hurry up, come on! Come home with me. My dad's home, we need to get him treated! If you can't cure him, I'll kill you!"

Bao Mingya revved the engine loudly.

"If that's what you mean, then you might as well kill me now. How can you talk to a doctor like that? There are plenty of doctors who can't cure illnesses, why don't you just kill your brother-in-law instead!"

Su Ziyang liked to tease Bao Mingya for no reason. Bao Mingya rolled her eyes at Su Ziyang and stepped on the gas, heading straight for her home.

When Su Ziyang followed Bao Mingya into the room, there were already four dishes on the table, and a middle-aged woman who looked similar to Bao Mingya was busy in the kitchen.

"Dad, this is the younger brother I was talking about. He's incredibly skilled at treating patients!"

Bao Mingya introduced Su Ziyang to her father, who was sitting on the sofa.

Hello, hello! Please have a seat, please have a seat!

Bao Mingya's father and Su Ziyang shook hands.

"Hello, Uncle!" Su Ziyang sat to the side and sized up Bao Mingya's father.

Bao Mingya's father was very thin, with little hair on his head, almost completely bald, and his aged face showed that he had worked as a laborer.

"Su Ziyang is here!"

Bao Mingya's mother brought out the dishes and greeted Su Ziyang directly. From that one sentence, it's clear that Bao Mingya's personality is just like her mother's.

"There are three more dishes! You guys chat!"

"Auntie, there's no need for such a grand ceremony!"

Su Ziyang was surprised that when he came over, they could actually prepare eight dishes; that was quite a large-scale meal!

You guys chat! I'm going to cook!

"How is it, Doctor Su? Could you please check my father's pulse?"

Bao Mingya picked up a glass of wine, not forgetting to tease Su Ziyang.

"I came over as soon as my sister said a word, no need for all this trouble!"

Su Ziyang chuckled, a little embarrassed.

"Uncle, I heard you catch colds often?"

Su Ziyang first chatted with Bao Mingya's father.

"Sigh!" Bao Mingya's father sighed, "Yes, it's not that she catches colds often. It's that she catches colds every day!"

"Oh no! That can't be!"

Bao Mingya's father's comment about catching a cold every day completely baffled Su Ziyang. Who catches a cold every day?

"Colds have a cycle; how could someone get a cold every day?"

"It really is a cold! Dad, you talk to Xiao Su about it, I'll go help out in the kitchen!"

Bao Mingya chimed in with a comment before going into the kitchen.

"It's definitely a cold. For example, if the air is cool in the morning, I start to catch a cold and have a runny nose. Or in the summer, as soon as I enter an air-conditioned room, the cool air hits me and my nose gets stuffy and starts running!"

Bao Mingya's father said that, Su Ziyang's first thought was allergic rhinitis and the Lung-Warming Flow-Stopping Pill he had been prescribed a few days ago.

"Uncle, this isn't a cold, is it? It's allergic rhinitis. Are you sneezing?"

Su Ziyang voiced his thoughts, but Bao Mingya's father immediately rejected them. "It's not a cold. It's not a cold! I don't sneeze, just have a stuffy nose, runny nose, and a headache. It takes four or five days to get better. And even after I recover, if I accidentally come into contact with cold air again within a day or two, I'll catch a cold again!"

Bao Mingya's dad said, then it really isn't allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis usually causes sudden sneezing when exposed to allergens, and it usually involves several sneezes in a row.

It might flare up several times a day, but it's impossible for it to go on for many days without getting better.

"It's not allergic rhinitis." Bao Mingya brought over another dish and sat down, saying, "I've taken him for tests, there are no allergens, and he doesn't have any polyps or anything in his nose. It's just a cold, and your brother-in-law says so too!"

"Ah! Let me take a look at your tongue first!"

Su Ziyang examined Bao Mingya's father's tongue coating, while Bao Mingya went to the side to make a phone call.

"Hey, Lao Liu, you're still at work? You're off work? Hurry back, have a drink with Ziyang and me! Buy a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy Orange on your way back!"

Bao Mingya's father stuck out his tongue, and Su Ziyang frowned as he observed it for a while before drawing a conclusion.
