Chapter 417: Chapter 194: Born Winner and Boxing Champion Gu Tongshu_2

Then, once he returned to the office, he immediately regained his cheerfulness and enthusiasm, greeting Su Huai to make tea for himself.

"As long as you keep annoying Gu Tongshu, then we’re like father and son!"

...

The two-day sports event whizzed by just like that.

Su Huai didn’t compete, but that didn’t stop the big data class from winning big.

In the men’s events, the brothers punched out the kindergarten teachers’ college and kicked the Changping Art Department around, securing at least a consolation prize in each event.

With 17 guys in class all hard as nails—compared to the kindergarten college, which had only four guys, all overwhelmed by their sisters and showing less masculinity—how could they compete?

Gao even snagged first place in the high jump, and Lu Yitian managed to make himself throw up in the 10,000-meter race, and everyone was overjoyed.

On the closing day, the classmates split the bill and went out for a big feast, so happy they couldn’t contain themselves.

It was also on the last day of the sports event that Imperial Capital received an autumn rain, and the air suddenly cooled down. Overnight, it was no longer the weather for bare legs to be seen.

The next morning, Su Huai reminded Gu Jiuyue over and over: "Dress warmly when you go out."

Then she came out dressed in thermal underwear plus long-sleeved sportswear, and Su Huai took her through the Eight-Section Brocade routine. She was quite spirited after finishing, but once they returned, she fell ill again.

"Susu..."

Her voice hoarse over the phone, she pleaded despondently, "Can you ask for leave for me...? If my dad gets angry at you, just ignore him..."

Of course, Su Huai agreed, "Sure, rest up well."

"I’ll recover as soon as I can!"

She coughed as she hung up the phone, and then during the second class in the morning, Wu sent a message: Miss has gone back to the villa to recuperate, no rush, and there’s no need to visit.

Alright, Gu Tongshu must be back.

Su Huai had a hunch, and then silently awaited his interrogation or blame.

Unexpectedly... Gu Tongshu showed no reaction whatsoever.

Instead, the next afternoon, Professor Cheng sent a message comforting Su Huai: "Good kid, it’s not your fault, granny is always grateful to you for helping Yueyue exercise... Would you like to come over for dinner?"

He definitely couldn’t go, not with Gu Jiuyue absent. It wouldn’t seem right to mooch off their hospitality.

Su Huai gracefully declined.

And after waiting another day, Gu Tongshu still didn’t make a move.

Was he just saving it all up?!

Su Huai didn’t believe Gu Tongshu was so magnanimous as to not blame him at all—he knew Gu wasn’t that kind of person.

...

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Inside a huge indoor practice room, Gu Tongshu fiercely struck the punching pads.

Clad in punching mits, the coach kept giving commands, encouraging him as he did.

"Left hook! Right jab, light and quick! Good! Step, knee lift, ram! Very good, clinch the neck... and wrist down!"

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Gu Tongshu’s rapid breathing signaled that his physical stamina was nearing its limit, but until the coach called a halt, he would keep going, squeezing out every last bit of energy he had.

Sweat dripped into his eyes, bringing with it a sharp stinging pain that made him blink involuntarily.

"Keep your eyes open!"

The coach commanded sharply, "Look at me, look into my eyes, feel my shoulders with your peripheral vision. You need to get used to this kind of observation, make it an instinct!"

Gu Tongshu immediately widened his eyes, bearing the pain, his expression turning ferocious yet resolute.

Another round of feeding techniques followed.

The coach, experienced, used language to tap into his drive.

"Martial arts have no quick path! But since you insist on taking a shortcut, wanting to throw punches with guys 20 years your junior, you’ll have to put in ten times the effort!"

Zuo Zongcai and Wang Gang watched from the side. Seeing Gu Tongshu stumble from a blow by the coach’s backhand pad, unable to dodge due to exhaustion and falling to the floor, both of their mouths twitched in unison.

The floor had a layer of soft material, but it still hurt to fall on it.

Gu Tongshu, however, got up silently, roaring like a sick wolf: "Again!"

Zuo Zongcai didn’t understand and sighed softly to himself, "What is he after, exactly?"

Wang Gang knew all too well. He shrank his neck and murmured vaguely, "Standard tricks won’t do against Su. The fight between men can only be like this..."

Zuo Zongcai turned his head, "But why is he so bent on taking down Su?"

Wang Gang shifted his gaze away and stayed silent.

After pondering for a moment, Zuo Zongcai suddenly remembered the injury Gu Tongshu had on his face after the National Day, his eyes widening and pupils shrinking to pinpoints.

"Fuck! Could it be..."

Wang Gang hung his head, staring at his own toes, crying inwardly, "Dad, don’t ask, you’re about to take my life!"

Zuo Zongcai struggled for a long time, finally spitting out two words—

"Badass!"

Then he started to think: When is Su’s company opening? Should I consider paying a visit...

The mere thought of Su Huai and Gu Tongshu meeting, crashing together like fire on earth, brought an intense thrill to Zuo, and even just thinking about it filled him with joy.

...

Time sped by, and two days later, on the 25th, the campus singer contest’s preliminary round ended as well.

Su Huai didn’t join the excitement, instead visiting Changqing Building in the afternoon.

Cheese had finalized the decoration design and asked him to take a look, so Su Huai delayed for a day, dodging Pei Shuyu, and finalized it with Cheese.

Overall, they had put in some thought, but not too much.

The decoration of the live streaming guild wasn’t complicated. What outsiders thought was important was actually not; a backdrop sticker would do, generated with a live companion app, and the soundproofing didn’t need to be too sophisticated—no need even for a ceiling.

The real challenge lay in the lighting, video effect adjustments, bandwidth, and other such technical details. Thus, Su Huai glanced at the design and approved it without a second thought.

Within half a month, they needed to set up the streaming space, and the office area could be addressed slowly. Pei Shuyu should be able to move in before the annual Gou Star competition.
