Chapter 77: Not even a glance. (1/2)
If he had to speak about the appearance of You Liangxing’s bare upper half, Kang Shengzhe would absolutely say that he had seen it before because he had caught a glimpse of that magnificence back at the hotel in Beijing. And Kang Shengzhe had a profound and deep memory of it too; even if he did not have the leisure time, he would constantly remember those dashing and tempting mermaid lines, and not to mention his skin, those well-proportioned muscles on his chest and abdomen, and that waist which was impossible to forget once it was seen.
However, the power of the current instance was evidently different and out of the norm; it was hard to persevere under the explosive and repeated blows this time around, after one sweeping glance, Kang Shengzhe was basically K.O-ed at where he stood.
You Liangxing was bold and powerful as he gained momentum against the sandbag he was punching, and because he was immersed in that state, he was sweating like rain.
And thanks to the sweat he was working up, You Liangxing had taken off his shirt indoors and nothing regarding his remarkable and robust muscles were hidden.
His complexion was not white but it could be considered as tanned either; rather, it was of a honeyed base. Furthermore, other than the fact that it was of a perfect tone, he was exuding an unspeakable sexiness because of the sheen of sweat that was soaking his body, which caused his hormones to diffuse around his surroundings in a silent and achromatic manner and it was like it was directly taken out from a honeypot.
As You Liangxing continued to deliver his punches, the temperature indoors seemed to climb alongside it, and Kang Shengzhe stared at those magnificent and slick arms. He homed in on the thin layer of sweat that was covering You Liangxing’s shoulders.
Under the simultaneous attack of his power and attractiveness, Kang Shengzhe heard the roaring of his heartbeat that was akin to thunder reverberating in his chest and the thirst in throat felt unbearable.
A hoarse statement tore from his throat: “So hot~”
Liao Su said: “Is it hot?”
Kang Shengzhe said: “Hot.”
In truth, the gym was not hot, but Kang Shengzhe felt like he was so hot to the extent where he was burning. With the mentality of a fan, Liao Su did not pull the rug from under his feet by pointing out that he was not feeling the heat. Instead, he inexplicably looked back at You Liangxing, and he happened to see You Liangxing sending out a punch and his sweat landing on the ground with a pitter-patter. Even as he was looked on casually, it had the unimpeded and dripping wet sensation that a finely cut body could bring.
“Ze ze ze, Brother Liang is really handsome. Even I can’t compare to his stamina. It’s fine if he was merely good-looking, but he just had to be hardworking too. It is no wonder why so many girls like him. You don’t know this but, there have been countless of people who told me to pass him their love letters.”
Abruptly, Kang Shengzhe remarked, “There are a lot of people who give him love letters?”
Liao Su said: “Of course, especially since his good looks are displayed for all to see. However, it is truly unfortunate that people only know that he’s good-looking without being aware that his figure is even better. Haah, hahahahaha, it gets funnier the more I think about it. Right, God K, look at those abs of his, doesn’t it look better than a sports students like me?”
Kang Shengzhe did not say anything for the first half of his words, and by the second half, he was already staring at You Liangxing’s abdomen without even straying once. Soundlessly, he nodded, “It looks very good.”
“Right? Men who possess such abdominal muscles usually have great waists as well. I’m telling you, that waist of Brother Liang’s, it’s definitely a waist that can hold all its other competitors in disdain, normal people can never compare to it…”
As he was speaking halfway, You Liangxing happened to glance over because he heard someone speaking near him. Eyes flitting across, You Liangxing’s hair tossed with his movements as he unintentionally glared at them, and his gaze possessed the swiftness and ferocity that his punches had.
It was handsome and fierce.
Liao Su hissed once and sighed: “Holy shit, he’s so fucking scary.”
Yet, Kang Shengzhe’s entire body stiffened and he hurriedly turned around and bent over slightly. After a short beat, he asked: “… Where’s the toilet?”
Liao Su: “Huh? Toilet? It’s at the back, do you need to go to the toilet? I can bring you there.”
Without any rhyme or reason, Kang Shengzhe seemed to be in a hurry as he said: “No need, I’ll go on my own.”
Before he left, he seemed reluctant to tear his gaze away from You Liangxing. While Liao Su pointed Kang Shengzhe in the direction of the toilet, he felt that Kang Shengzhe’s posture was a little strange but because his exercising-loving heart had been stirred by You Liangxing, he did not pay much attention to it.
Kang Shengzhe’s trip to the restroom lasted for more than ten minutes once he left. And because he took a long time, You Liangxing was already done boxing when he returned slowly from the toilet, and he was currently talking to a middle-aged coach.
Liao Su welcome him back with a smiling expression, He wanted to say something to Kang Shengzhe when he realised that Kang Shengzhe’s gaze was stuck to You Liangxing’s waist and torso as soon as he returned. His eyes turned and an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. In a second’s work, he turned their attention back to the previous subject matter and said excitedly: “God K, I’ll tell you a secret.”
Absentmindedly, Kan Shengzhe responded: “Speak.”
Liao Su laughed: “Do you know how to attract the gaze of the person you like?”
Maybe because his topic was right on target, Kang Shengzhe actually looked back at him, and asked, “You know?”
Liao Su chuckled and said: “Of course I know. Although I’m single myself, I know the key to solving the problem. For men, we must first attract the opposite sex visually, and no matter what kind of appearance we have, we must have abdominal muscles!”
Kang Shengzhe was no longer as interested: “Oh…”
Kang Shengzhe was not a fool; he knew that Liao Su was trying to resurrect the old topic was one glance, and his interest plummeted instantaneously.
Hurriedly, Liao Su said: “Hey, I’m not trying to cajole you into working out, there is really a logic in this! Look, men can be without everything else, but their waists must be good. As for waists, if you don’t have a good waist, how can you find satisfaction in life! Furthermore, do you know how the ladies look at men who don’t have abs these days?”
Kang Shengzhe asked, “How do they look?”
Liao Su: “They don’t even give them a glance!”
Kang Shengzhe said: “Oh.”
Liao Su: “……”
Unexpectedly, the angle of using lovers to persuade him fell through and it felt like he was trudging through oil and salt without any results. Liao Su was a little disheartened, and just as he was sighing with emotion in his heart, Kang Shengzhe said suddenly: “Then what about boys?”
Liao Su: “Ah?”
Kang Shengzhe: “How do boys think?”
Against the sudden mention of boys, Liao Su became dumbfounded. After pondering about it for a while, he replied with the words that were most likely to move him: “Boys are…. They’re just like girls!”
With a countenance of seriousness, Kang Shengzhe frowned as he said: “They don’t look either?”
Liao Su: “Not even a glance!”
It was impossible to decipher what Kang Shengzhe was thinking but his expression became increasingly subtle which gave Liao Su some hope, and the thought heightened more and more.
Suddenly Kang Shengzhe snorted and said: “Oh? If they don’t like looking, then don’t look.”
Liao Su: “……”
You win.
If I continue persuading then I’m a dog.
As they were conversing, You Liangxing finished speaking to his coach. While he was wiping away his sweat, he strode over and his gaze first fell on Kang Shengzhe’s visage. Kang Shengzhe’s gaze was heated and cutting as he stared at him, and his heart jolted, causing him to shift his gaze away minutely.
Liao Su’s complexion was coloured with defeat. Walking over to You Liangxing’s side, he sighed: “I give up, I’m not doing it anymore.”
Upon hearing his words, You Liangxing immediately understood the hidden, underlying meaning within it. However, by virtue of his frank and forthright character, he did not use the topic to ridicule Liao Su and he quickly changed the topic: “Are you still going to work out?”
