Chapter 286: The Bar Reenactment (Part 1)
From then on, she woke up at five o’clock every morning and exercised and trained in martial arts for two hours. After breakfast, she drove herself to school. If she had no classes in the afternoon, she would pack some food on the way and head straight to the old house, either to read books or tinker with the computer. Sometimes it got too late, so she simply stayed overnight at the old house, going to sleep only by midnight.
Including a half-hour nap at noon, Wan Chu’er only rested for five and a half hours each day, but she didn’t feel tired at all. In fact, she was energetic throughout the day.
Jiang Kechu phoned to inquire twice, each time Wan Chu’er just gave evasive answers. Later, as Jiang Kechu had to go on a mission and there was still ample time, he didn’t bother anymore.
Regarding Jiang Kechu’s persuasion, the old master knew about it and watched from the sidelines for a while. Seeing that his granddaughter did not come to discuss it with him, nor did Wan Chu’er relax her training, but rather seemed to enjoy it more and more, he couldn’t help but feel deeply gratified and told Li Shan, "She truly is my descendant."
Li Shan didn’t respond at that moment. The next morning during their sparring, he was more aggressive and fiercely trounced Wan Chu’er, which then lightened his mood.
Back then, he too wanted to join the Special Action Department, but unfortunately did not succeed. For every aspiring soldier, the Special Action Department is the ultimate pursuit.
Sweaty and exhausted, Wan Chu’er lay on the ground gasping for air, thinking that Li Shan must have been in a terrible mood today.
Ever since that night Lin Jiayi came to see her, Lin Jiayi would visit her every now and then, sometimes directly at her home, or sometimes finding her at school.
Each time, he would bring her a small gift like a bracelet, lipstick, or a small scarf.
Wan Chu’er gladly accepted them, showing a welcoming attitude then casually expressing her thanks, completely forgetting to reciprocate the gesture with a gift for Lin Jiayi.
Lin Jiayi bore no grudges and often advised Wan Chu’er not to study too hard and to enjoy life more and make more friends.
Because it was not always easy to find Wan Chu’er; being able to meet her three out of five times was considered good, and when they did meet, Wan Chu’er was either reading books or rudely training.
