Chapter 143: Calms Down After Two Punches
Chi Ye was dumbfounded: “?!”
You really step up when there’s something to do?!
Teacher Shi saw he wasn’t speaking and silently asked: “It’s just my family… I haven’t saved much money…”
Chi Ye: “???”
He deliberately observed for a while, wanting to see if Shi Daifu was joking with him.
But after watching for a long time, he was a bit dumbfounded—mainly because the expression on that delicate little face was too serious, so serious it made him a bit “afraid”.
He thought for a moment and said: “Then I’ll send you the address and time, find an opportunity…”
“……Okay.”
“Okay my ass.” Chi Ye was speechless, waving his hand: “Teacher Shi, we can’t do illegal things, you have so many people at home who need your care.”
Shi Daifu: “……”
“Impulsiveness is the devil.”
Chi Ye was still persuading.
Teacher Shi hummed in response.
“You’re not really going, are you?”
Chi Ye was numb.
Shi Daifu was silent for a long time before quietly explaining: “I know what you mean, no need to explain.”
Chi Ye: “……”
Damn, why does he get “restrained” every time he meets a female martial god!
“That… what about learning martial arts?”
“You really haven’t run into any trouble?”
Chi Ye felt he had to explain, otherwise this girl’s brain was too stubborn, he said: “I have a drama with a lot of fight scenes… Besides finding a martial arts choreographer, I also want to learn some “real kung fu” from you!”
Shi Daifu listened quietly, observed him for a while, then nodded: “Okay.”
“?”
Chi Ye was speechless: “Don’t just okay me, say something.”
“Okay.”
“Then shall we start now?”
“Now?”
Teacher Shi was stunned.
Chi Ye had a serious face: “Didn’t I say, I’m still a martial arts enthusiast, I want to see what you can do!”
——I want to know what benefits I can reap!
Shi Daifu glanced at the room, Chi Ye misunderstood her meaning and quickly said: “Don’t worry, it won’t delay your meal.”
Shi Daifu: “……”
Done for, is my image in his mind just that of a rice bucket?
She was a bit deflated, but immediately stood up and walked toward her room.
“What are you going to do?”
“Change clothes.”
“Change clothes?”
“Don’t you want to see me practice martial arts?”
Chi Ye was in high spirits and thoughtfully asked: “Okay okay, do I need to change too?”
“……” Teacher Shi’s almond eyes glanced at him, bluntly: “You don’t need to.”
Chi Ye: “……”
Why does it feel like he was despised?
“Then go ahead, I’ll wait for you.”
He wasn’t in a hurry, just sat on the sofa waiting for the female martial god to change.
In the end, it took less than five minutes, and Teacher Shi came out wearing a white training uniform, so fast that compared to the Empress Dowager, she didn’t seem like a young girl at all.
——The Empress Dowager takes at least three hours to change clothes!
Chi Ye was a bit unaccustomed, but soon his attention shifted to Shi Daifu.
As usual, she tied her jet-black long hair high up, with a few strands of hair falling beside her fair cheeks, wearing flats, a very simple and even minimal outfit, yet at this moment exuding an inexplicable fresh and cool temperament.
“One look and you know she’s a martial arts grandmaster!”
Chi Ye praised.
Teacher Shi looked at him: “Let’s go.”
“Alright, let’s go.”
Chi Ye liked her no-nonsense way of communicating and immediately got up to follow.
The two walked out of the room and came to the open space where Shi Daifu usually practiced her morning routines.
The place was as Chi Ye imagined, indeed very quiet and remote.
“What do you want to see?”
After Teacher Shi stood still, perhaps because she wasn’t used to practicing in front of outsiders, her oval face was slightly flushed, and she rarely took the initiative to ask.
“See what…” Chi Ye thought and probed: “Your best skill.”
Shi Daifu: “……Okay.”
After saying that, she didn’t speak anymore, proactively went to a big tree, and then…
Then she assumed the horse stance!
Standard posture, legs spread shoulder-width apart, knees bent, body sinking, hands clenched into fists naturally hanging at the waist, spine straight.
Her slender and thin delicate body, at this moment, was like a sturdy pine tree, stubborn and upright.
Chi Ye’s mouth fell open, speechless for a long time.
“You… what are you doing?”
“Horse stance.”
“……Your best skill is the horse stance?!”
Shi Daifu also felt a bit embarrassed, her cheeks slightly red: “I… didn’t you want to learn? Horse stance is the most basic of basics.”
Chi Ye: “……”
Come to think of it, he had actually drawn Teacher Shi’s horse stance technique.
But… later when he tried it, the technique was there, but he didn’t have the stamina!
“You… don’t want to see this?”
Teacher Shi relaxed her tense body, slowly “finished”, and seriously said: “But if you want to learn, you must practice this first, otherwise you’ll hurt your body.”
Chi Ye: “……Can I see your moves first? Like… the punches and kicks you threw at Jian Ni, the swishing powerful ones.”
“……” Teacher Shi paused, as if thinking of something, her face redder.
“Inconvenient?” Chi Ye asked.
Shi Daifu saw Chi Ye’s expectant gaze, paused, and shook her head: “I’ll do it for you.”
“Great, thanks for the hard work, I’ll add ten chicken legs at lunch!”
“……My appetite is actually really small.”
“I know, I’ll eat them myself.”
“……”
Teacher Shi felt a bit depressed inside, but didn’t say more, just vented all that depression on the “sandbag” she had temporarily hung on the tree.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
Dull thuds rang out in an instant.
Her feet slightly apart, body like an arrow off the string, right fist whistling with wind, legs like lightning.
Left hook, right straight punch, swing punch.
Straight kick, side kick, whiplash kick.
Hard to imagine, such a thin body contained such “terrifying” power.
Chi Ye watched dazzled, scalp tingling.
He was thinking, if these fists landed on someone, how comfortable that would be!
Whoever marries her, her husband would be filial and her mother-in-law obedient!
“Done.”
After some unknown time, Teacher Shi stopped, panting heavily.
Sweat soaked her training uniform, she raised her arm, wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeve, and looked at Chi Ye while slightly out of breath.
“Is that okay?”
Chi Ye first nodded, then shook his head, puzzled: “Last time you punched it didn’t seem this tiring… why this time…”
He didn’t finish asking, because he figured out the reason himself.
This girl wouldn’t have gone all out just to make it look good for him, right?
Shi Daifu wiped the sweat beads from her chin, controlled her breathing, and said: “So you can see clearly.”
“……Good, really good, almost fanned me with a cold.”
Shi Daifu: “……”
Chi Ye didn’t stint on praise, then curiously probed: “Just… these moves feel… not that exciting… um… don’t hit me, I just want to ask, do you know any cooler combo moves?”
Teacher Shi looked at him, silent for a moment, and said three words: “Flowery poses?”
Chi Ye was embarrassed, but felt there was nothing wrong, real kung fu and flowery poses definitely have a difference, he came this time to get both.
“Yes, I like flowery poses.”
Shi Daifu thought for a long time, shook her head: “I’m not very good at them.”
After saying that, she noticed Chi Ye’s disappointed gaze, paused, and said: “I can learn.”
“Ah?” Chi Ye was stunned: “Learn? Learn now?”
“……Wait, let me think.”
Teacher Shi didn’t speak anymore, bent down to pick up her mobile phone from the ground, opened Douyin, and searched for various flowery poses videos.
Chi Ye: “……”
What kind of martial arts genius is this?
No way, I have to drag you into filming!
……
Meanwhile.
A certain set.
Ji Hemming sat in the RV, on the phone: “Ah, I’m going to Actors Please Take Place… not for money, Qianqian has been “avoiding” me, I have to go find her, I have to explain, I really can’t leave her!”
“Ah, yes, that program has Chi Ye too… but no problem, I told the program team, with me there, no him.”
“Um… right, tell the producer, that Shi Daifu isn’t suitable to sing our drama’s OST… reason? No reason, just don’t use her, got it?”
“Okay, that’s it for now…”
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: “When is the next batch selecting?”
Ji Hemming paused, glanced around, lowered his voice: “Not suitable to play right now… all because of that damn Chi Ye! Um… everyone’s shooting short videos now, right? I like shooting videos lately, help me get some resources, the exciting kind, interesting.”
“……Okay, already working on it.”
“OK, that’s it.”
Ji Hemming hung up, already thinking in his mind how to explain to Li Qian when he sees her again to prove he was “framed”!
Still the same words—all because of that damn Chi Ye!
If not for him, he could still be happily selecting concubines.
Now it’s got him all pent up!
……
Yue Na Headquarters.
“The Big Boss is back?”
Young President Liu hurried out of the office.
“Um, Yu Yan’s contract is about to expire, the Big Boss wants to sign his studio in the form of cooperation, people from Penguin have come.”
The secretary whispered beside: “Ji Hemming’s recent development isn’t going well, if we want to package, we still need someone more popular to build momentum, the Big Boss came back personally this time, probably for this.”
“Penguin has come… that should be no problem.”
Young President Liu walked to the meeting room doorway, stopped and asked: “Is Rose’s side still smooth?”
“Picked three newcomers to promote, already sent to Actors Please Take Place.”
“Okay… this program is abstract, but high popularity, don’t know how long it can last, rub off what we can.”
After Young President Liu finished, he pushed open the meeting room door and quickly went to greet Yue Na’s real Big Boss, the most famous Movie Emperor from the 80s across the Taiwan Strait and three places, Liu Anshi.
……
“The flowery pose for whiplash kick is like this, watch closely.”
Afternoon, open space.
Teacher Shi said to Chi Ye, then slid her feet sideways, adjusted her center of gravity, and charged at the wooden pole “imaginary enemy” that had just been set up.
Her left leg supported the ground, right leg quickly lifted, pivoting on the hip joint, whipping rapidly from outside to inside like a whistling steel whip, the leg drawing a sharp arc in the air.
Whoosh.
Accompanied by whistling wind, that beautifully curved long leg heavily whipped toward the imaginary enemy.
The movement fluid and seamless, looking full of outbreak power.
But actually with not much force, just the movements, arcs, even the momentum, extremely cool and beautiful, clean and crisp, highlighting “expert demeanor”.
Chi Ye watched with wide eyes, his heart even straighter.
Teacher Shi’s ability in “martial arts learning” is terrifying.
He had previously drawn Shi Daifu’s “Butterfly Step”, according to the system, she had just watched a few minutes out of boredom, practiced a bit… and knew it.
This time he personally saw what “practice a bit” and know it “crash course” means.
Shi Daifu, with strong foundational skill, even real martial arts foundation, learns this form-like “flowery poses” very quickly.
This isn’t just foundation, feels more like talent—um, definitely beyond master-level talent.
Chi Ye watched very satisfied, extremely surprised.
Because he felt he “found treasure” this time.
Forget martial arts choreographers, Teacher Shi is a living “learning container”!
With her help, whatever “flowery poses” he wants, he gets!
What lucky draw pool is better than this “universal container”?
Know about specified draws?
Of course, the premise is Shi Daifu really willing to learn so much for him.
On this, Chi Ye was a bit unsure, but he had a little trick, prepared to give Shi Daifu equal “reward”, friends exchange back and forth for long-term!
“Come on, eat, said I’d add ten chicken legs, here are ten!”
Chi Ye called out, Xiao Liu walked over from afar, handed him the just-prepared takeout.
Teacher Shi was indeed hungry for a while but held back, now seeing that big bag of takeout, her almond eyes glanced, swallowed saliva, but shook her head: “I’m not hungry, you eat.”
“……” Chi Ye had already figured out Teacher Shi’s personality, especially with familiar people, no strong opinions.
He immediately “ordered”: “I tell you to eat, you eat.”
Teacher Shi was stunned, seemed not to react, her almond eyes extremely surprised looking at Chi Ye.
He… what tone is this?
Chi Ye felt a bit guilty being looked at, but kept a straight face: “Ah, Shi-san, you wouldn’t give a friend two punches, right?”
Hard to say.
Teacher Shi lowered her head, softly said: “Okay.”
Chi Ye didn’t react: “What okay?”
“……I’ll eat.”
“Hey, that’s right!”
Chi Ye clapped his hands, scanned around: “Not convenient around here, let’s go back to eat?”
“Um.”
“Okay, after eating can we continue practicing? No practice, no food.”
Shi Daifu: “?”
She paused for a long time, then nodded: “Practice.”
Chi Ye satisfied: “Don’t worry, I won’t treat you poorly, I’ll get you a few songs I can’t sing!”
“No need.”
“Ah?”
Shi Daifu looked at him: “Good songs are rare, keep them for yourself, I don’t need.”
Chi Ye: “……Then we’ll talk about that later, right, about that whiplash kick earlier I still want to ask you…”
Tap tap tap.
While the two were talking, Shi Daifu’s agent Sister Wang walked over, spotted them at a glance, and shouted: “Shi Shi, Shi Shi, what are you doing here! How can you receive President Chi in a place like this!”
