Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 355: Chapter 355: A Whole New Level of Respect_1

From the moment she saw Li Wuyu’s restless glances darting around her family’s courtyard, An Jing could guess that Li Wuyu was a sprite of a girl. She hadn’t anticipated, however, that Li Wuyu would be so extremely bubbly and cheerful.

She really didn’t look like a young lady at all.

Watching Li Wuyu run off into the distance, occasionally jumping for joy, An Jing grew even fonder of Li Wuyu, thinking she was quite free-spirited, not bound by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues that restricted other women here.

An Jing saw Wang Youbao still gazing in the direction Li Wuyu had left and couldn’t help teasing him, ”She’s already run off and you’re still watching? What, are you interested in her?”

Wang Youbao immediately averted his gaze, saying seriously, ”An Jing, don’t talk nonsense; it would be bad to tarnish the girl’s reputation. I was just surprised and didn’t react for a moment, it’s not that I have any intention toward her.”

An Jing: ”Surprised about what? You think she’s different from the usual girls?”

Wang Youbao was silent for a moment but finally gave a small nod. His heart, however, was saying: It’s not just different, she’s completely unlike any young lady.

An Jing could tell what Wang Youbao was thinking and didn’t press him further.

After all, matters of the heart can’t be forced; it’s better to just let things take their course.

”Changyi, didn’t you promise earlier that once I had slimmed down, you would teach me some self-defense moves? I’ve been slim for a while now, when can you teach me?” Seeing An Jing and Xiao Changyi take up the hoes to work the land again, Wang Youbao hurriedly ran over to them, both excited and hopeful as he asked Xiao Changyi.

Having slain enemies on the battlefield was truly the mark of a real man. He had always admired Xiao Changyi deeply, aside from the King of Eternal Victory, whom he estimated he might never have the chance to meet in his lifetime, Xiao Changyi was the person he most looked up to.

Of course, so far, Xiao Changyi was also the only person he knew who had returned from the battlefield.

An Jing laughed, ”Didn’t I teach you a set of military boxing? How is that not for self-defense?”

”You are you, and Changyi is Changyi; it’s not the same. Besides, I’ve already mastered that set of military boxing.” Wang Youbao said the last part with undeniable pride.

An Jing found it even more amusing and teased him, ”Oh, so mastering a set of military boxing is really something, huh? Actually, military boxing has three sets. Seeing your attitude, I’m not going to teach you the remaining two sets.”

”No, please,” Wang Youbao hurriedly clasped his hands together in a pleading gesture, ”teach me when you have time; I really want to learn.”

Hearing this, An Jing sighed immediately, ”I can see that; you really do want to learn.”

Their friend’s perseverance was truly formidable. He had not only been consistently losing weight but also kept up with practicing his boxing and horse stance. He really did the horse stance for four hours every day without fail, and it had made him incredibly fit and sturdy, with a solid stance. He performed the set of military boxing very well, with both speed and force.

Indeed, persistence is the victory!

Wang Youbao laughed, ”Isn’t this because I can’t go to battle, and I want to learn some skills to make up for the regret in my heart?”

”Rarely do you show such passion.” After saying this, An Jing looked affectionately at her husband who had been silent all this time, ”Husband, when do you plan to teach Youbao?”

Xiao Changyi hadn’t actually planned to teach Wang Youbao. He hadn’t made a promise but said they would see when Wang Youbao slimmed down; if he didn’t teach, he could still have a reasonable excuse.

But Wang Youbao’s determination and passion for martial arts had truly earned his respect...
