Chapter 87
Yi Ming went to meet Gray Tiger the next day, and to everyone's surprise, Gray Tiger actually agreed.
The two agreed to meet at the indoor training ground.
Before meeting Gray Tiger, Yi Ming himself was calm and unflustered, but his friends seemed more nervous than he was.
Liu Xiaoyun stood next to Yi Ming, holding a 2.5-liter bottle of mineral water, and angrily said, "Yi Ming, you just go ahead, and Chen Zeyi and I will guard the door for you. If he dares to lay a finger on you, I'll just charge in with this bucket of water and drown him!"
Chen Zeyi was also rubbing his fists, holding a can of pepper spray: "I've got some stuff too, look, this is from my sister, they say the spray range is long, so if that guy tries anything, I'll make sure he has a pig face tomorrow..."
Yi Ming stood by the wall, laughing so hard he could barely stand up straight: "Come on, guys, can't you be a little more composed? Look at my Jiang Wei, so calm, even if I and Gray Tiger really got into it, it's not certain he would win. You're underestimating me too much, don't worry, I'll be fine."
As soon as Yi Ming finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that the faces of the two brothers seemed a little off... They seemed to be... holding back laughter?
"Are you sure she's so calm?"
Chen Zeyi smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows, and pointed to the figure of Jiang Wei standing behind Yi Ming.
Yi Ming paused, turning around in puzzlement, only to find his little sweetheart standing there with a serious expression, holding a "country broom" that was taller than her, her back straight as a tree.
Yi Ming was surprised and opened his mouth wide: "Jiang Wei, what are you..."
Jiang Wei realized she had been discovered, and her face instantly turned red. She stammered in a low voice, "Ah... I... I'm here to sweep the floor..."
With that, the young lady quickly lowered her head and began searching the ground for leaves...
Yi Ming's heart stirred, and he curved his lips into a smile as he walked over, "Alright, don't pretend, I know you're trying to protect me."
Yi Ming reached out and grasped Jiang Wei's wrist, his five fingers warm and comforting.
"Come, give me the broom, there are thorns on it, be careful not to prick yourself."
Yi Ming took the broom from Jiang Wei's hand, gently placing it aside, leaning against the wall. "Actually, I find it strange, this type of large broom is usually only used in the countryside when drying grains, Jiang Wei, where did you get this from?"
Jiang Wei rubbed her hands and said softly, "I borrowed it from the sanitation auntie outside..."
Yi Ming: "..."
The poor sanitation auntie.
The concern of his friends touched Yi Ming deeply. He shook his head and chuckled, waving his hand at the three people in front of him: "Don't worry, I'm just coming to see Gray Tiger to get some answers, we're all adults, there's no need to use force to resolve this. For the sake of my brothers, for my Jiang Wei, and for Coach Wu, I'll protect myself well and won't let myself be sent to the hospital by 120 again."
At the mention of Coach Wu, Yi Ming paused, raising his eyes: "By the way, where's Coach Wu?"
Liu Xiaoyun and Chen Zeyi looked at each other with wide eyes, the two stammering: "Uh... well..."
After a pause, it was Liu Xiaoyun who finally mustered the courage to explain: "Coach Wu knew you were going to meet Gray Tiger, and he was afraid Gray Tiger would bully you, but you refused to let anyone accompany you..."
"So?"
"So Coach Wu secretly started practicing the taekwondo he learned in elementary school at the hotel, thinking that if you got in trouble, he could call you and go beat up Gray Tiger for you. But he ended up straining his old bones and limbs, and now he's at the orthopedic clinic getting a massage..."
Yi Ming: "..."
What a troublesome old child.
