"Ah, Qi… Mr. Xiang, you're working out here too?"
Tang Baona was also surprised to meet Xiang Kun. She almost called him "Saitama-sensei", but she changed her words in time. After all, they had only met once and were not that familiar with each other. It would have been fine if she had used this nickname when they were together, but now that there were other people around, it was weird to call him that.
"Yeah, I just got my card here a few days ago."
Xiang Kun left after exchanging a few words with Baona.
The two of them tacitly did not mention that Baona had been rejected when she asked to have a barbecue. Firstly, there were other people around, and secondly, this was not something worth mentioning. It was normal for them to not be able to go for supper.
After Xiang Kun left, the tall girl who had been standing beside Baona asked curiously, "Is this the Saitama-sensei? He looks so strong…"
Baona was actually quite surprised by this. Xiang Kun had just finished working out today. As he did not sweat much, he did not change out of his exercise shorts and tank top. It was indeed a visual impact. The last time they met at the cafe, Xiang Kun was wearing loose jeans and a T-shirt. She could tell that he was very strong, but she did not expect him to be so strong.
The girl looked at Baona. "But his looks are average. He's bald too. I heard you say he's a programmer? Oh, a programmer who just lost his job? Na Na, why doesn't he like you?"
"Why do you sound like I've been dumped…" Baona rolled her eyes at her friend. "I'm not interested in him. I just asked him if he wanted to come when we were having barbecue. He just happened to be busy."
The girl's name was Yang Zhen Er, and she was Baona's best friend and current roommate. The two of them talked about everything, so she knew about Baona's blind date. When she asked Xiang Kun out for a barbecue later, she was also there. In fact, she was the one who urged Baona to go on the blind date.
"Come on, he rejected your invitation the other day and didn't take the initiative to contact you again after that. He didn't take the initiative to reject your invitation. Isn't this an indication that he doesn't like you?" Zhen Er said directly.
Baona had nothing to say to that. She could only say angrily, "So what if he doesn't like me? I'm not some fairy that everyone loves… If you didn't say that you wanted to see Saitama-sensei, I wouldn't have sent him a WeChat message. It's all your fault!"
"Aiya, are you angry? Alright, it's all my fault! You're clearly the little fairy that everyone loves, okay? It's all because that baldy is blind…" Zhen Er smiled and put her arm around her friend's shoulder as they entered the yoga studio together.
On the way back after her yoga class, the more Baona thought about it, the more upset she felt.
Ever since she was young, she had many suitors around her. It was just that she had never met anyone she liked. Furthermore, she was a particularly stubborn person. She was determined that if she felt that something was wrong, she would not give in. Therefore, she had never fallen in love. As she grew older, her family started to get anxious.
In fact, she was disgusted by the idea of going on blind dates. She felt that the purpose of this method was too strong. Previously, her family had rejected it many times. It was only this year that she finally could not resist the "counseling" from her family. This time, she went with Xiang Kun twice. It was the second time.
Initially, it was because of his sister and his sister's classmate, Sister Han. He even thought of an excuse to leave after sitting for twenty minutes. However, he didn't expect the bald "Saitama-sensei" to be quite interesting. They chatted happily and didn't feel the pressure of a blind date at all.
Initially, she was a little worried that the "bald uncle" might have a misconception because they had chatted too happily. She even thought about how she should respond to the "bald uncle" if he frequently invited her or sent her messages on WeChat or called her. How should she reject him?
Unexpectedly, ever since they parted that day, "Uncle Baldy" had not sent a single message. No matter if it was greeting, chatting, or inviting, there was none.
Although she was not interested in Xiang Kun and had thought about rejecting his invitation, she felt weird that he did not contact her at all.
Initially, she did not pay much attention to it. After all, this was the result she wanted. However, a few days later, when she was having barbeque with Zhen Er, she mentioned the "bald uncle" that she went on a blind date with. Zhen Er said that this "Saitama-sensei" definitely did not like her, so she did not contact her. She even made a bet to see if Baona could invite "Saitama-sensei" out for barbeque.
In the end, Baona's invitation was rejected. Initially, it was not a big deal. After all, it was normal for someone to have something on during such an impromptu invitation. However, Xiang Kun's reply was too cold and casual. Furthermore, he did not send any messages after that. It was as though he was saying "I'm not interested in you".
Although Baona said that she did not care, she could not stop Yang Zhen Er from nagging her. It made her feel frustrated and curious about why Xiang Kun did not like her. Why did he reject her so easily? Did he not even plan to interact with her a few more times?
Yang Zhen Er, who was driving, continued to talk about her judgment of Xiang Kun. One moment, he might like a woman with a big butt, a voluptuous figure, and could give birth to children. The next moment, he might already have a girlfriend. However, your sister's classmates did not know that Xiang Kun might like men…
Finally, Baona could not take it anymore and sent Xiang Kun a WeChat message.
…
Although Xiang Kun was surprised and slightly embarrassed when he met Tang Baona at the gym, he did not think too much about it after that. In his opinion, Tang Baona would definitely not contact him after his previous replies. He really did not have the time or mood to think about relationships now.
Today, in the gym, he had confirmed that his left arm was much stronger than his right arm through the weight of a single arm. This proved that targeted training could indeed determine the direction in which his body would mutate or evolve after drinking blood.
Therefore, Xiang Kun adjusted the training program today and only did one extreme weight test to test the increase in strength of his muscles after drinking blood. Then he stopped training with extreme or near extreme weight and used at least one set of training methods more than 24 times. He reduced the strength training and increased the coordination, flexibility, and reaction speed.
Many of the training methods and movements were found online last night and compiled at the last minute.
However, with his current control over his muscles, he was already very proficient and at ease after doing it twice.
Next, Xiang Kun was prepared to train his senses, such as his vision, hearing, and smell. He wanted to see where the upper limit of his senses was.
Just as he was working on his training plan, Xiang Kun's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Baona.
