Chương 29: You are a Martial Arts Student

Because of Zhao Ke's situation, Xue Wenhui took a week off to stay home with her son.

After this incident, Zhao Ke was deeply affected and became very quiet. Naturally, her family kept quiet about what had happened.

Zhao Rui couldn't do anything about this psychological hurdle, and since he himself was the "trigger" of the matter, it was best not to appear too much in front of his younger brother Zhao Ke.

After returning home and having a simple meal, Zhao Rui went to his room to practice his martial arts and meditate.

Although there is a system panel that can cheat and directly improve one's internal strength, the skill ultimately depends on the individual. No matter how strong one's internal strength is, if one neglects to cultivate it, its circulation will become sluggish and its performance will be affected.

After he had circulated his internal energy twice and opened his eyes, he found two missed calls on his phone.

Zhao Rui got out of bed, picked up his phone which he had put on silent while practicing martial arts, and glanced at it. One of the calls was from his second senior brother, and the other was from Yang Fan.

He then sent a reply to his second senior brother.

"Did you need something, senior brother?"

"Zhao Rui, when do you start school?"

The second senior brother did not rush to answer Zhao Rui's question, but instead asked Zhao Rui a question first.

"I haven't received any notification yet. I guess it'll be about twenty days before I have to go report!"

Zhao Rui replied.

"Oh, the timing is fine. Here's the thing, I have a friend whose daughter goes to the same school as you. Her grades are average, and he's looking for a tutor who just finished the college entrance exam and got good results..."

The second senior brother briefly explained the situation and asked Zhao Rui if he had time to tutor for a period of time.

The pay is good, 200 yuan an hour, and you can work morning, noon or night.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rui had no reason to disagree, as there was basically nothing going on with the sparring partners that morning.

You could easily take on another job!

Having agreed to visit the employer's house together the next morning, Zhao Rui hung up on his second senior brother and dialed Yang Fan's cell phone.

"Brother Rui, good news! I've been accepted into Jeju Engineering Vocational College. Now we can be together again."

Yang Fan's voice was filled with joy!

Unlike those idlers who don't want to go to school, he was quite interested in going to school, as long as he didn't care whether he did well or not.

"Really? Great! I'll have a huge savings now!"

Zhao Rui chuckled.

"Depend on!"

The two chatted and laughed for a while before hanging up the phone.

……

The next morning, rays of light shone through the gaps in the foliage, like ribbons of color, directly onto Zhao Rui's face.

His still-childish downy hair was clearly visible.

After exhaling and finishing his practice, Zhao Rui picked up his backpack from the ground, tidied his clothes, and then rode his bicycle, which was leaning against a tree, to the residential area where they had agreed to meet the previous night.

Half an hour later, in front of the gate of an upscale residential area, Zhao Rui saw his second senior brother sitting in the driver's seat, leaning outwards and smoking a cigarette.

"Senior brother!"

Zhao Rui pushed the cart forward and greeted them.

"You've come! Let's go!"

The second senior brother threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped on it, then got up, closed the car door, and led Zhao Rui towards the residential area.

The community has strict security, and the two were only allowed to pass through after the employer received the call and rushed over.

The employer was a young woman in her thirties surnamed Song. She had delicate features and long, shiny black hair tied up in a bun.

The second senior brother and the other person were clearly very familiar with each other. After exchanging greetings, Ms. Song looked at Zhao Rui and said with a hint of satisfaction, "Junior brother is very handsome!"

"The person I'm introducing can't be bad; not only is he handsome, but he's also academically excellent!"

The second senior brother praised without reservation.

"Senior brother!"

Zhao Rui blushed; how could family members praise each other?

"Haha, I've known your senior brother for years. Let's go home first!"

The young woman smiled and led the way, guiding the two through the square surrounded by green hills and clear waters, and into a row of terraced villas.

"It's definitely better to be rich!"

Zhao Rui couldn't help but sigh inwardly!

Following the young woman into the villa's courtyard, we stepped onto the stairs and entered the house. A spacious welcoming porch came into view, and turning past the porch, a large and spacious living room immediately came into view.

The crystal chandelier emits dazzling starlight, like a wall of stars overlooking the world.

"Please have a seat, I'll go call Ya Ru out. Wang Ma, please pour tea for the guests!"

The young woman said something and then left the living room.

"How about it? Envious, aren't you?"

Looking at the huge living room and the exquisite furniture inside, the second senior brother couldn't help but smile and ask Zhao Rui.

"envious!"

Zhao Rui nodded earnestly.

"Haha, if you're envious, then practice martial arts diligently. Once you break through to level ten, money will naturally come knocking on your door!"

Second Senior Brother laughed.

"Okay, I'll save a sofa for my senior brother then!"

Zhao Rui said.

Upon hearing this, the second senior brother chuckled and scolded Zhao Rui, then said, "Your sister Song's daughter might not be easy to get along with, but let's give it a try!"

Zhao Rui nodded, picked up the tea brought by the maid, and took a sip.

A moment later, Ms. Song dragged a reluctant young girl over.

"You're here to be assigned to a class, and you're not taking it seriously at all!"

Ms. Song said reproachfully, then led her daughter to the living room.

"This is my daughter, Ya Ru. You've met Uncle Li before. This is his junior apprentice. Mom wanted him to come..."

As they were talking, the little girl's beautiful eyes widened slightly as she looked at Zhao Rui and asked in surprise, "Are you Zhao Ke's brother?"

Zhao Rui was taken aback. Upon closer inspection, he realized the girl did look somewhat familiar, so he replied, "I have a younger brother named Zhao Ke!"

"Yes, yes, I saw you when school started, and we even talked!"

The girl giggled, revealing herself to be quite lively.

"So we know each other, that's even better. Ya Ru, how about having Zhao Rui tutor you?"

Ms. Song smiled as she looked at her daughter.

Ya Ru's eyebrows furrowed slightly, then relaxed, and she nodded, saying, "Okay!"

Seeing that her daughter agreed, Ms. Song immediately smiled and gestured for her daughter to take Zhao Rui to the study for a visit.

"All right!"

Ya Ru shrugged and led Zhao Rui into the villa.

"Actually, I don't want to hire a tutor, but my mom definitely won't agree, so Brother Zhao, how about we work together?"

A cunning smile played on Ya Ru's slightly chubby face.

"cooperate?"

"Yeah, you'll tutor me, but don't worry about me, you can still make your money! We know each other, right?"

"this……"

"Don't worry, my grades aren't that bad, I just don't want to study!"

"Let's see how it goes!"

Zhao Rui did not agree immediately. He was unsure of the girl's intentions, and besides, if you're paid, you have to do your job properly.

"Honestly, you're nothing like your brother. Zhao Ke listens to me now!"

"Ahem!"

Zhao Rui felt like he had overheard some unspeakable secrets from his younger brother!

As they spoke, the two entered a study that was even larger than Zhao Rui's master bedroom.

The study contained a large desk, behind which was a peach-colored bookcase filled with all sorts of books.

There's another door to the right rear of the bookshelf; I don't know what's inside.

"This is my dad's study. I usually study here. I won't take you to my own study."

"oh."

Zhao Rui nodded.

"Go ahead and use your phone, just don't bother me!"

After Ya Ru finished speaking, she walked to her desk and turned on the computer on the desktop.

Zhao Rui stared at her in astonishment, and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

Ya Ru turned on the computer and started typing rapidly on the keyboard, seemingly playing some game.

Judging from their tense expressions and focused gazes, you can tell how engrossed they are in the game.

"Oh no, I lost! I lost!"

Just over ten minutes later, Ya Ru slammed her hand on the keyboard in dejection and started yelling.

"What are you playing?"

Zhao Rui asked.

"The War God's Manual! I've been playing this level for two days, and I just can't get past it."

Seeing that Zhao Rui ignored her and instead asked about the game, Ya Ru couldn't help but speak up.

"Let me see!"

Zhao Rui smiled, stood up, and walked over. Immediately, a delicate fragrance wafted from the girl.

"You play this too?"

"Um!"

Zhao Rui nodded.

"Come here!"

Zhao Rui was about to sit down when he suddenly stopped and said, "Your mother and the others are here!"

After saying that, he swiftly picked up a book and placed it on the table.

He also spread out a draft paper, picked up a pen, and quickly wrote down some calculations.

The entire movement was completed in one smooth motion, in the blink of an eye.

Ya Ru stared in disbelief at the books that had suddenly appeared before her. Before she could react, the door opened. Then, Ms. Song and her second senior brother walked in.

"Junior brother, I'm heading back now. Call me if anything comes up!"

"Okay, senior brother!"

"Don't worry, I wouldn't dare bully your junior brother!"

Ms. Song smiled.

Second Senior Brother nodded to Zhao Rui, then turned and left the study.

Ms. Song glanced at the desk, nodded in satisfaction, turned around, closed the door, and went to see her second senior brother off.

"Phew, you're a martial arts student?"

Ya Ru looked at Zhao Rui with surprise, then said with a hint of happiness, "You looked so cool just now!"

"Actually, I'm a better student!"

Zhao Rui smiled and said, "Let's check out the game first!"

"Uh-huh!"

Upon hearing this, Ya Ru immediately stood up and made way for her.

Zhao Rui took the keyboard and mouse, skillfully operated them a couple of times, and then typed rapidly, his ten fingers flying across the keyboard, creating a series of dazzling afterimages.

"Amazing, amazing!"

Ya Ru watched with great excitement, her little hands clapping unconsciously.

Just a few minutes later, Zhao Rui withdrew his fingers and looked at Ya Ru, saying, "We've cleared the level!"

"Wow, this is amazing! How can your hands be so nimble!"

"It might be related to the martial arts I practice!"

"this……"

Ya Ru was a little confused for a moment, and pouted, saying, "You've already cleared the game, what do I need to do?"

"study!"

Zhao Rui placed the book in front of her, a smile appearing on his handsome face.

"snort!"

When Ya Ru heard that Zhao Rui was also encouraging her to study, she immediately crossed her arms and sat down on the sofa opposite her.

Her slender arms made her still-developing breasts bulge out.

"Actually, this matter of studying is negotiable; you should respect my work!"

Zhao Rui spoke up.

Yaru's mischievous eyes darted around, and then she said, "Then you have to teach me some martial arts that I can use even without internal energy!"

"Without using internal energy?"

"OK!"

Zhao Rui thought about it briefly and agreed. He happened to have a copy of Wing Chun Dao, a martial art, and he could teach her a few moves when the time came.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Ya Ru got up and walked to Zhao Rui, giving him a high five as a pledge.

"Actually, it's not that I don't want to study, it's just too boring. My mom is always controlling me and won't let me go anywhere. I just don't want to listen to her!"

Perhaps because they knew each other, Ya Ru soon revealed her true feelings.

"By the way, why doesn't Zhao Ke know martial arts? Are you brothers?"

"Of course. You don't know martial arts either!"

"Yeah, I don't know either."

The girl's pretty face immediately darkened, and she let out a soft sigh.

"The classes will be divided soon, and martial arts students will be placed in a separate class. I really envy those students who fly around."

"They might even envy your good looks!"

Zhao Rui said casually.

"Actually, I'm in a good mood! By the way, why hasn't Zhao Ke been going to school lately...?"

"He wasn't feeling well, so he'll be leaving in a couple of days."

"Oh. It can't be...?"

Ya Ru raised a delicate eyebrow and couldn't help but speak up.

"What is it?"

Zhao Rui narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you know?"

Ya Ru's heart raced when she saw the glint in his eyes, and she quickly said, "Your gaze just now was terrifying!"

"Excuse me!"

"He used to associate with some shady martial arts students, I heard it was to buy those Qi-inducing pills!"

"I only heard it from someone else, so it might not be true!"

Upon hearing her words, Zhao Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, and a surge of anger rose within him.

This stuff is hard to come by. If no one instigated him, where would Zhao Ke, a high school student, get it?

"Thank you, I understand!"

Zhao Rui responded and then said, "Let's learn. After we finish, I can teach you a few self-defense techniques!"

"Okay, then!"

Perhaps intimidated by the glint in Zhao Rui's eyes just now, Ya Ru did not object to his suggestion.

Instead, he sighed and obediently sat down at his desk.

An hour later, after reviewing a chapter, Ya Ru stretched lazily, her petite breasts freely unfolding inside her clothes.

"Is Zhao Ke ready?"

"With her arm back, Ya Ru asked casually."

"Alright, the medicine wasn't very effective. How many of you classmates knew about this?"

"Actually, several people in our class have been absent. Everyone knows this, and with the class reshuffling coming up soon, many people are anxious!"

Ya Ru said with a hint of helplessness in her voice.

Do you know those people?

"I know them, but I'm not familiar with them. They're all martial arts students who often bully people, so we all stay far away from them."

Yaru told them everything she knew.

Zhao Rui nodded and said, "Study hard for a few days, and I can ask if I can take you out for a stroll!"

"? real?"

"certainly!"

"Great! Don't worry, I can tell you who they are secretly!"

Ya Ru was quick-witted and guessed Zhao Rui's intentions early on. She also wanted to go out for a walk, so they agreed immediately.
