Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion - Chapter 71
Chapter 71: He Is Here
“After the warm-up, the first thing you have to learn is archery,” Chen Zhanxiao told them.
“Understood.”
They were all excited. After three weeks, they had gotten used to and even started to enjoy their current fruitful routine.
Under the blaring sun, the men and women were completing a tough set of push-ups on the training ground.
The sky was bright and clear, and spunky white clouds could be seen floating across the pristine blue sky.
“Straighten your legs and tuck in your belly. How come you haven’t yet learned the basics after so many days?” Along with the other coaches, the head coach paced up and down as he lashed out at the row of participants on the ground.
Everyone was looking down and engaging in small talk as they were completing their push-ups. While ignoring the scoldings, they were having fun gossiping.
“Yao Tiao and Ye Erruo, what are you chatting about?”
“Coach, we aren’t talking!” Ye Erruo barked in response.
“Yao Tiao and Ye Erruo, add 50 more push-ups!”
“Ahh! Coach Chen, we’ve done nothing wrong!” Yao Tiao cried out.
“The rest can have a break now. The two of you will compete to see who can get to rest first.”
“Wah! Ha ha ha…”
“I’m so tired!”
Everyone slumped to the ground. Some people were even munching on grass blades as they watched the two of them.
“Ruoruo, I’m so sorry.” Yao Tiao looked forlornly at Ye Erruo. She was the one who had approached her in the first place, but they had been caught before the other girl could reply.
Ye Erruo glared at her friend. “See what you have done?”
The other girl could hardly keep to herself. She loved to chat her up every time they went running or were doing exercises like sit-ups and push-ups.
She sobbed. “Well, there’s a lot to chat between us, that’s why.”
“…”
“Are you still chatting? Add 20 more push-ups.” Coach Lee intercepted out of the blue.
“Bloodsucker Lee.” Yao Tiao cursed under her breath.
“Coach, Yao Tiao cursed you behind your back.” Wu Mengran snitched on her.
“Yao Tiao, you do another twenty.”
“Wahh!” The girl moaned in agony inwardly as she shot a hateful glare at Wu Mengran.
“Get ready and start! Everyone will help count for you,” Coach Sun instructed them leisurely.
“One.”
Ye Erruo forced her body to go up and down for the push-ups. Her elbows would not survive 50 push-ups, let alone 70.
“Two.”
“Three!”
By the time they counted to 40, her arms had started to shake and Yao Tiao’s arms were practically wobbling.
“Coach!” Sun You stood up, looking solemn.
“Speak.”
“I’m willing to do the remaining 30 for Ye Erruo.”
“WOW!”
“Ohhh…”
Catcalls could be heard amidst a wave of naughty sniggers and teasing.
Coach Chen glanced at Ye Erruo. “She can continue on her own.”
“…”
“Who’s going to help me?” Yao Tiao turned her head to the back and looked at the rest.
Nobody humored her.
Yao Tiao whined angrily.
“You are all heartless.”
“Continue!” A cold, stern voice boomed above their heads.
Yao Tiao! This little imp is really a lot of trouble. Ye Erruo could only cry inwardly.
The noise around them suddenly quietened down for no reason. Tiny squeals of delight could be heard intermittently.
The protagonist was puzzled over the change in expressions around them as she continued sinking her chest up and down to the ground, when a pair of black leather boots appeared before her eyes.
Her gaze followed the pair of boots, moved up the broad, long legs, and finally landed on a dark instructor suit. A man stood in front of her. His button-down was black and smart and tight on each cuff, and his collar revealed his sexy throat audaciously. He was wearing a pair of dark shades and a cap in a matching color.
The glaring sun rays shone brightly upon his head. She could not help being stunned by the god-like figure towering above her. This person was one she undoubtedly recognized even with those shades: Mo Jiangye!
