"Is your hand okay?" Ye Qingning was a little worried.
"It's okay. After checking, there are no sequelae." Ye An handed the coat to Ye Qingning.
Ye Qingning felt relieved and put away Ye An's coat.
The venue was quickly vacated, and the two went on the court after doing some warm-up exercises. The two bowed under Li Ying's guidance. When they stood up, their eyes became sharp, as if wild animals had found their prey, and the atmosphere became tense and serious.
Ye Qingning clutched Ye An's clothes and sat obediently in the corner, becoming nervous inexplicably.
The two of them did not rush to make a move, but stared at each other closely, observing whether there were any loopholes in each other's defensive posture.
When Qin Zimo came, he happened to catch up with this scene. He slowed down, slipped in through the back door, and sat next to Ye Qingning.
"What's going on? Why are you still fighting?"
Ye Qingning made a 'shh' gesture and stared at the two of them. Qin Zimo nodded and said no more.
On the court, Tang Tang looked at Ye An's flawless defensive posture and raised his eyebrows. She had felt it the last time she fought with Ye An. The opponent was very strong. If she hadn't taken advantage of him, he might have really fallen into trouble.
This time, with the opportunity to compete openly and openly, Tang Tang, who was still bored at first, became more eager to try.
Thinking of this, she took the lead and prepared to seize the opportunity. She originally thought that Ye An would adopt a conservative defensive posture, but she didn't expect that she would follow closely and attack Tang Tang.
The two of them tacitly tried their best to fight each other. It was not like a 'test' as Li Ying said, but like a real competition. They struck the opponent's vital points first and did not miss any of the opponent's tiny moves. loopholes.
Ye An kicked her legs twice in a row, Tang Tang crossed her hands to block, but Ye An was stronger than she expected, causing her to take several steps back. Fortunately, Tang Tang's chassis was stable enough, and he quickly adjusted and launched a new attack.
After all, Tang Tang had rich experience in competitions and had received special and systematic training since childhood. He quickly gained the upper hand and pinned Ye An down.
As soon as she clicked, Li Ying's expression looked very satisfied.
"Not bad, Tangtang, girl, but you have regressed a lot recently."
Tang Tang curled his lips and stretched out his hand. Ye An glanced at her, held her hand, and stood up with Tang Tang's strength.
"Coach Li, what about the children in our club..." The club teacher was even more embarrassed now. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin showed up, and his students became a complete foil.
"Oh, students, let's compare pairs first. If you win, you can compete with Tangtang." Li Ying reacted immediately.
"Then I'll go back first." Ye An bowed and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Ying.
"Wait, Tang Tang, watch her, don't let her run away."
"Yes." Tang Tang responded and raised his hand when he saw Qin Zimo. Qin Zimo also raised his hand as a greeting.
Ye An watched Li Ying grab his hand, and then looked at Ye Qingning. The other party was still looking at her with a smile, seeming to find Ye An's appearance very novel. Ye An, who knew he couldn't run away, simply refused to shirk. After repeated assurances with Li Ying, he sat next to Ye Qingning.
"Put it on first, don't catch a cold." Ye Qingning handed her the coat.
"It's not bad." After exercising, both of them were sweating a little. Tang Tang hung his own towel around his neck and threw another one to Ye An.
"Clean, never used."
"Thank you." Ye An didn't refuse, covered his head with a towel, and casually wiped the sweat from his face.
"Why are you two fighting?" Qin Zimo stepped forward.
"It's a long story." Tang Tang responded and turned to look at Ye An.
"Ye An, how do you know the coach?"
"His wife runs a Taekwondo gym in the town, and his hometown is next door to where I lived before."
What Ye An didn't say was that her adoptive mother often abused her, and once she was caught by Li Ying who was returning home and took her to hide. Ye An refused to go back, so Li Ying simply took her to the taekwondo gym owned by his wife.
Originally I just wanted Ye An to play to kill time, but I didn't expect to find that Ye An has great potential. After going back and forth, and his wife also knew about Ye An's experience, the two of them discussed and decided not to charge Ye An tuition and let Ye An do it. If you have nothing to do, you can come over and learn it, maybe use it as self-defense.
Ye An would also help clean up the gym after it closed. As time went by, the relationship became closer. It can be said that that period was one of the few good memories that Ye An has in the past 16 years.
Li Ying and his wife can also be regarded as her mentors. She originally planned to inform them, but the Ye family moved very quickly, so they couldn't meet face to face after leaving. She didn't have their contact information, so they lost contact.
Several people did not continue chatting on the topic. The constant sounds of beatings in the classroom and the occasional comments from Coach Li and others made them feel a little pressure. Several people sat aside and watched the competition with focused expressions. On the contrary, Li Ying looked at Ye An from time to time, as if she was afraid that she would run away.
As the sky grew dark, Li Ying and another coach were discussing something, and eventually two children were left behind.
As soon as the task was over, Li Ying walked up to the three people with another coach.
"Is this the kid you told me about?" Another female coach raised her eyebrows, looking very heroic.
Ye An bowed, looking polite and well-behaved.
"Hello, my surname is Lan, you can call me Coach Lan."
"Coach Lan, my name is Ye An."
The name didn't match, so Coach Lan glanced at Li Ying.
"Yeah, why did you change your name to Ye An?"
Thinking of Ye An's original name, the three of them stood behind and suppressed their laughter. Ye An turned his head and glared at them, making the three of them want to laugh even more.
"My biological parents found me, so they brought me here and changed my name." Ye An answered the two people's doubts in the shortest possible language.
"I'm just telling you! What kind of bullshit are your parents?" Li Ying suddenly patted Ye An's shoulder with an excited expression. Ye An frowned and said nothing.
"I feel relieved when you look like this." Li Ying said with a sigh.
Others come and go, but they are not stupid. It can be seen that Ye An is much more relaxed and comfortable than when she was there. Moreover, her biological parents can send her to this school, and the food and clothing expenses seem to be the same. The best thing would be to know that she got her biological parents and didn't treat him badly.
"Are your biological parents okay with you?" After thinking about it, Li Ying couldn't help but confirm.
"Well, this is my...sister, Ye Qingning." Ye An pulled Ye Qingning from behind to the front, and his eyes were a little wandering when he introduced her.
Ye Qingning was also stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and bowed to the two of them.
"Hello coach, I am Ye Qingning."
"I know you are excellent." Coach Lan quickly reacted and recognized Ye Qingning.
"Thank you." Ye Qingning was a little flattered. Li Ying didn't pay attention to things on the Internet, so she didn't know Ye Qingning well.
"Okay, this child Ye An has a stubborn temper. Please be patient with her. If she does anything, come to me and I will beat her up for you." Over the years, Li Ying has long regarded Ye An as her own child.
Ye An never told Ye Qingning about her past, but she could more or less feel that Ye An's life was not good before. Now seeing Li Ying, Ye Qingning was slightly relieved, at least until she didn't return In the 16 years she has been in the Ye family, she has also received a touch of warmth.
"Ye An is fine."
Ye Qingning looked at Li Ying with gratitude in his eyes. She took the initiative to hold Ye An's hand, seemingly telling Ye An that she was glad that she got to know her better.
Ye An didn't say anything and held her back.
