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

Su Li opened her mouth wide, visibly shocked. Xiao Luo was, only moments ago, still learning the basics of skating, but in just minutes, he was already performing like a professional skater. How was it that this guy could learn something that quickly?

All she knew was that Xiao Luo wasn’t putting on an act, for there was no reason for him to pretend to be a beginner.

She pursed her lips, swiveled around, and continued to skate in a forward-facing position. Then, she made a 90-degree turn and banked into the wavy track in the center part of the rink without warning.

The wavy track had three ridges and two troughs. A beginner who tried to complete this track was bound to lose balance and fall over. That being said, even a skater who was at a higher level might not have a hundred percent chance of completing this course either.

But Su Li clearly didn’t belong to such categories, for she didn’t feel any pressure at all and was able to maintain her balance perfectly well, clearing the wavy track in one try. She then made a dead stop at the other end of the wavy track, turned around, and looked at Xiao Luo, implying that it was his turn to do it.

When she looked at a Xiao Luo attempting to rush forward without much thought, she warned him, “Don’t rush if you’re not confident enough; otherwise, the fall is going to be very painful!”

“Don’t worry about it!”

Xiao Luo laughed a little. The skates he was wearing now felt like any regular shoes to him. Although he was not thoroughly used to it yet, he was at least eighty to ninety percent comfortable with it.

He moved both of his legs really quickly, sped up, and rushed towards the wavy track. Leaning towards one side, he completed the wavy track in one try as well, and just like Su Li, he stopped dead at the end of the track and maintained his posture really well.

“Daddy is really impressive!” Su Xiaobei screamed, clapping happily and cheering.

Luo Pingxiang muttered to herself, “Mr. Xiao Luo is way too scary.”

Xiao Luo was already much better than her because even she couldn’t safely complete the wavy track.

Su Li furrowed her eyebrows, and her delicate face wore an expression of bewilderment. This guy was good at basketball, could speak multiple foreign languages, could drift race, and was now mastering roller-skating. Could it be that he was a genius?

“Miss Su, are there any other techniques you’d like to show me?” Xiao Luo said. His intentions were genuine, as since he was already learning it, he might try to master all the techniques while he was at it.

As soon as Su Li heard that, her face turned dark as she misread his candor and felt like he was trying to show off. “Later, I’ll show you the techniques that I’ve been practicing for five years,” she replied. Then, she called out to Luo Pingxiang and said, “Pingxiang, go see the boss and ask him to bring me 20 identical cups.”

“Yes, Sis.”

After receiving the request, Luo Pingxiang rushed toward the front door.

Not long after, the skating rink boss and a few of his staff members brought 20 cups and placed them in a straight line, each of them equally apart from one another.

“Is she trying to perform figure skating?”

The boss didn’t leave immediately but stood nearby to watch.

Figure skating was a level above regular roller-skating. The shoes that their rink provided were inline skates, similar to ice-skating shoes, and therefore they allowed one to perform figure skating with them. On an international scene, there were even competitions for this. Some of them competed in terms of speed, while others contended based on form and technique, to see who performed better. With the use of twenty cups as markers, this competition was obviously a technique-based challenge to see who demonstrated a higher level of performance.

“Mummy is going to dance soon!”

Su Xiaobei laughed happily and then obediently sat at a small stone stool at the skating rink side. Just like how she excitedly waited for the movie to start earlier on, she now stared ahead without blinking her eyes and gently swung both of her legs.

This was obviously not the first time she watched Su Li perform figure skating, and she undoubtedly had high expectations of Su Li’s prowess in figure skating; otherwise, she wouldn’t be this excited.
