“Holy crap, Miaomiao! What's that you just did?!”
The chubby boy relaxed completely when he saw that Han Shuo had come to his senses. He stared at Miaomiao with his mouth agape.
“Acupoint pressing,” Miaomiao explained nonchalantly. This was a must - have skill for those who roamed the martial world. After all, those who practiced martial arts had to have a clear understanding of the human body structure for better combat. So basically, as long as one practiced martial arts, they were well - versed in acupoints, bones, and various vital parts of the body.
Some really skilled martial artists might focus on acupoint - pressing, constantly developing the skill, such as using qi to press acupoints from a distance or pressing acupoints rapidly in succession.
Miaomiao had never had a teacher in this regard. The most renowned acupoint - pressing master in the martial world didn't get along well with her father, so the little girl had only learned some basics.
“Ah! I know, like the Sunflower Pointing - to - Acupoint Skill in *My Own Swordsman*! It's so cool! Miaomiao, can I learn it too?” the chubby boy exclaimed excitedly.
“No. Dad said you're still too young and not as smart as me. You won't be able to remember the acupoints. If you mess it up, it'll be dangerous,” Miaomiao refused without hesitation.
“Come on, Miaomiao. I promise I won't mess it up. Just let me learn...”
“Miaomiao, can I stop running...”
Han Shuo's weak voice came from the ground, interrupting the chubby boy who was about to throw a tantrum to beg for learning.
Miaomiao looked down at Han Shuo and nodded slightly, giving him a break.
“That's it for today. You have to gather with me at the square at five o'clock tomorrow. Otherwise, you'll have to make up for what you didn't finish today.”
Five o'clock... Make up...
Han Shuo almost rolled his eyes and fainted again. Thinking about the days to come, he felt like the future was dark. He even wished he could go back in time and beat himself up for suggesting to learn martial arts from Miaomiao.
What should he do? He had already said it. Given Miaomiao's stubbornness, if he said he didn't want to learn anymore, she might break off their friendship immediately.
After some thought, Han Shuo had no choice but to accept his fate. The meaning of his rebirth was to make up for Miaomiao. It was just a bit tiring! He could do it!
“Okay, I got it.”
Hearing Han Shuo's weak response, Miaomiao nodded in satisfaction, looking like a teacher who found a teachable student.
She gently patted Han Shuo's head, pulled him up from the ground, clapped her hands, and said, “Okay, now I'm going to teach you the basic boxing techniques.”
Lin Yao had already crossed out the subsequent basic movements like standing in a horse - riding stance. Kids these days only had a three - minute passion for learning martial arts. If they had to do these boring movements for a long time, they would lose all their patience.
To prevent Miaomiao from losing her only two friends, Lin Yao decided to let Miaomiao get straight to the point.
“I'll demonstrate it once. Watch carefully and remember,” Miaomiao said, then stepped back a few steps and started punching.
The simplest boxing technique only involved upper - body movements. It seemed very easy to do the whole set.
“It doesn't seem that difficult,” the chubby boy thought that what Miaomiao demonstrated was far from what he had imagined.
In his mind, he pictured flying and leaping like a great hero, not just standing there and punching.
“Miaomiao, do you have something more difficult? This doesn't look cool at all,” the chubby boy boldly asked the question he had in mind.
For this not - so - “unreasonable” request, Miaomiao decided to satisfy him. She searched her mind for a slightly more difficult set of boxing techniques and started demonstrating.
A few minutes later, the chubby boy's mouth was wide open. He gave himself a light slap.
“Let's learn this one.”
Who could do a 365 - degree spin in the air! Who could jump over two meters! Who could do a Thomas spin so perfectly!
Learn this?
He would be exhausted before he could even learn it!
He wasn't a professional gymnast!
“Never mind, never mind. I think the first set is good. Haha, haha.”
The chubby boy laughed dryly and quickly backed off.
“Okay, then the first set,” Miaomiao nodded good - naturedly. It didn't matter which one they learned; she would teach them all the same.
Then, Miaomiao got into the formal teaching mode.
The little girl led the way in front, and the three kids imitated her behind. After they were somewhat familiar with the movements, she started to correct their unstandardized actions one by one.
When Miaomiao's soft little hands touched his skin and carefully guided his movements, Han Shuo instantly regained his energy. He felt that all the hardship in the morning was worth it!
As time passed, the three kids with increasingly sore arms and legs realized how unordinary this “ordinary” set of boxing techniques was.
Miaomiao's requirements were strict. The stance had to be stable, and the position of the arms and fists was measured in centimeters.
There was no chance for them to be lazy at all.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the teaching finally ended for the day.
The main reason was that Miaomiao was hungry.
“Okay, that's it for today. Remember to come on time tomorrow.”
“Okay...”
The three kids replied in unison. Even Han Shuo had no mood to chat with his little sister. They dragged their tired bodies and went back to their own homes.
When they got home, Lin Yao looked at his daughter who was running towards the kitchen sweating profusely and gulping down water. He felt a bit melancholy.
Daughter! Your actions are a bit too unrestrained!
“Miaomiao, were the chubby boy and Xiao Su obedient today?”
“Yes, they were,” Miaomiao raised her head proudly and answered happily, feeling the joy of being a teacher.
“Han Shuo came later, but he was too weak. He fell down while running laps. After I helped him recover, he was okay.”
When it came to the teaching results, Miaomiao immediately started to talk non - stop.
Hearing the name Han Shuo, Lin Yao immediately became alert. There was a meeting this afternoon to bankrupt the Tao family. Originally, he planned to let Miaomiao play at home by herself.
Now he thought it was necessary to take his daughter with him.
“Miaomiao, come out with Dad later. We're going to Dad's workplace. Do you want to go?”
“Yes!” Miaomiao answered without hesitation.
Lin Yao nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, his daughter was still the most attached to him.
After lunch, Lin Yao took Miaomiao to the company.
He had been staying with the little girl all this time and usually wore home clothes. But today, he put on a neat suit, and his ascetic charm was perfectly highlighted.
The little girl was a bit stunned when she saw her father in the suit. With her limited vocabulary, only two words came to her mind: “Handsome!”
With such a good - looking father, the little girl inexplicably felt honored. When she received the smiles from the receptionist and the amazed looks from passers - by, she held her head high and tightly grabbed her father's sleeve.
She wanted to tell the whole world that this most handsome father belonged to little Lin Miaomiao!
