Chapter 447 - An Insane Learning Ability (1/2)

Su Li and Luo Pingxiang noticed Xiao Luo’s rapid progress, and both of them were surprised when they saw his natural movements that appeared to be as smooth as the flowing water.

“I must say, Mr. Xiao Luo’s ability to quickly learn something is just impressive. In just a few rounds, he’s already mastered the essential skills needed to roller-skate. The progress he has made is simply incredible.”

Luo Pingxiang watched Xiao Luo skating in disbelief, and his sudden improvement was actually quite shocking. If she hadn’t known that Xiao Luo was just a beginner who fell flat on the floor earlier on, she’d have assumed that he was a professional skater.

Su Li’s eyes were filled with a different kind of emotion. When she recalled the snide remarks that she had directed at Xiao Luo earlier when he had taken a fall, her cheeks instantly turned red. But still, she was filled with an unwillingness to admit defeat. She could accept that Xiao Luo was better than her in many other areas but not in roller-skating, for it was one of her strengths, as she had been skating since high school. If she couldn’t even beat this man, then it would all turn out to be rather embarrassing for her.

“Help me take care of Su Xiaobei!”

Su Li said to Luo Pingxiang before she pushed out toward Xiao Luo.

As Xiao Luo was still trying to figure out the essential skills needed to properly skate, Su Li suddenly flashed past and overtook him. On top of that, she turned around and shot him a provocative glare. It was just like when you were driving on the road, and another driver overtook you, provoking you to overtake her.

The chauvinistic streak in Xiao Luo did not allow him to let this slide. She had looked down on him earlier on, and now in the face of this provocation, Xiao Luo decided that enough was enough. He thought to himself, so you want to challenge me, well, I’m not scared of you!

He instantly dashed after Su Li, putting all his strength into his legs and pushing off, bringing his center of gravity slightly forward. In that instant, just like an arrow, his speed increased tremendously!

Su Li noticing that Xiao Luo had taken up her challenge and decided to put up a confident and superior look on her face. She didn’t want to lose. Her legs moved in a swift criss-cross action, and her gliding speed increased drastically. She was just like a white fox in the wild, and her movements were stunning.

The two of them moved at speeds as fast as the wind, with one in front of the other.

In the end, both of them were moving in line with Xiao Luo taking the outer lane. They were like a skating duo, and their movements were elegant and totally in sync. It wasn’t just their left and right legs; even the swinging of their arms was in sync as well. It was beauty in motion, no matter how you looked at it.

Su Xiaobei was right beside Luo Pingxiang, watching the pair in the rink. “Sister Pingxiang, are Daddy and Mummy racing?” Su Xiaobei asked, blinking her large eyes in excitement.

“Yes, it seems like that is the case. Look at their chemistry, even their movements are so in sync,” Luo Pingxiang exclaimed.

The little girl was eager to join them and said, “I want to go as well.”

“Bei Bei, don’t go, we’ll just watch them from here and see if your Daddy or Mummy is better, alright?”

Luo Pingxiang, who was afraid that Su Xiaobei might injure herself if she went, tried to stop her.

The little girl was an obedient child and was easily convinced to stay back. In any case, she was more interested in finding out who would win the race instead of joining the race. So, she nodded her head and said, “Alright.”

She then clenched her little fists and shouted with all the breath she could muster, “Daddy, do your best, Mummy, do your best… but Daddy, try to do a little better!”

Luo Pingxiang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It was so apparent that she was more biased toward Xiao Luo.

Both of their speeds were evenly matched in the rink. Su Li suddenly made a 180-degree turn and started to skate backward while maintaining the original direction, and she did this while maintaining the same speed.

“Can you do this too?”

She said, pouting her lips and rushing towards Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo slowly recalled the actions she did earlier on, chuckled, and said, “I can give it a try.”

After saying that, he made a wrong 180-degree turn, and he stumbled for a few steps, coming off like he was performing Michael Jackson’s moonwalk. But after a short while, he managed to reverse-skate like Su Li and skated at the same speed as well. Though he did make some mistakes while making the turn, it could still be considered to be relatively smooth.
