I Don’t Hate You
As they walked, Qiao Yu asked Qiao Yue how she knew that he liked boxing.
Qiao Yue answered that she guessed it from the outline of his arm muscles. What Qiao Yue didn’t mention was that she not only guessed that he liked boxing, she also noticed when she first saw him that he wasn’t the gentle and elegant person in the rumors, but was much more extroverted .
About 40 minutes later, they arrived at the boxing club. The people inside saw Qiao Yu and greeted him familiarly. But when they saw Qiao Yue, they couldn’t help but be stunned.
“Qiao Yu, is this your brother?”
“Yes, my fifth brother related by blood, Qiao Yue.”
After Qiao Yu finished introducing her, Qiao Yue said hi to everyone.
A woman who looked older than Qiao Yu stepped forward and put her arm around Qiao Yu’s shoulder.
“You look so young. Is this your first time boxing? Do you want big sister to teach you?”
The woman said as she threw a pair of boxing gloves to Qiao Yue.
Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Yu, who had already put on his gear while they were chatting.
Qiao Yu’s eyes met Qiao Yue’s, and he gave her a bright smile.
“Let’s spar.”
The smile on Qiao Yu’s face was unbridled, unlike when he was in school at all.
“Okay.”
Qiao Yue didn’t hesitate. She put on her gloves and followed Qiao Yu into the boxing ring.
The woman next to Qiao Yu just now whistled and said in surprise, “So you’ve practiced it before. Come, come, come, show us.”
As the woman spoke, people gathered around the boxing ring. Some cheered for Qiao Yu, some asked about Qiao Yue.
The two people in the boxing ring were warming up. Boxing was an intense exercise; it would not be good if they pulled a muscle because they weren’t prepared.
Turning his wrists, Qiao Yu smiled at Qiao Yue and said, “Fifth brother, do you want me to go easy on you? If you call me big brother twice, fourth brother will be gentler.”
Hearing Qiao Yu goad his brother, the spectators also got excited. It’s boxing, man! A hot-blooded sport! The atmosphere had to be right for them to fight to their hearts’ content.
Qiao Yue also smiled and gave Qiao Yu a provocative look. “Fourth brother, how about it you call me good little brother twice and I’ll let you hold on for five minutes before I beat you off stage?”
“Attaboy.” Qiao Yu cursed in his heart.
As the boxing coach gestured to start, Qiao Yu made the first move.
Qiao Yu wasn’t serious at the beginning. Although he had heard in the Academic Affairs Office that Qiao Yue fought three people at once, he had never seen it with his own eyes. He didn’t know Qiao Yue’s ability and was afraid that he would hurt Qiao Yue.
However, after two punches, Qiao Yu didn’t think so anymore.
Qiao Yue’s punches were fast, accurate, and fierce. Qiao Yu could see that Qiao Yue was holding back, or he would have been beaten down the moment he got on stage.
Using all his might, Qiao Yu countered Qiao Yue’s attacks…
At the end of the match, Qiao Yu was so tired that he collapsed in the boxing ring. Qiao Yue also lay down. Surrounding them were people cheering loudly.
Qiao Yue and Qiao Yu were both young, but the competition was exciting. Even if they didn’t hit each other all the time, they sparred beautifully and excited the spectators.
“Xiao Yu, your little brother is not bad! He can fight you to a draw. ”
“Yup! Xiao Yu has been with our boxing club for so long and very few people could beat him. His younger brother actually tied with him.”
Qiao Yu regained his strength, sat up, and patted Qiao Yue’s shoulder with a smile. “Let’s go, let’s rest over there and make room for others.”
Qiao Yue nodded and stretched out her hand, waiting for Qiao Yu to pull her up.
Qiao Yu had no choice but to go along with Qiao Yue’s wishes. He pulled her up and the two of them walked to the side to drink water and rest.
“Qiao Yue, you’re too light. You need to eat more and nourish yourself when you get home.” Qiao Yu took a sip of water and said to Qiao Yue.
“You’re no better than me.”
Qiao Yue retorted jokingly. For the time being, she had no plans to develop into a Muscle Barbie.
The two of them rested for a while, and then Qiao Yue asked what she was curious about.
“Fourth brother, your appearance at school must have deceived many people! Why didn’t you continue to lie to me?”
Qiao Yu turned to look at Qiao Yue, a relaxed smile on his face.
“I feel like we’re quite similar, so I don’t have to lie to you.”
Qiao Yue thought for a bit when she heard this. They were indeed quite similar, whether it was in terms of temperament or preferences. It was just that Qiao Yu’s mask was more different from his actual self.
“So, you don’t hate me?”
“Why would I hate you?” Qiao Yu asked.
Qiao Yue chuckled. “Hate me for coming back to split the family assets with you.”
“You’re talking about this? I don’t hate you. On the contrary, I think it’s good that you’re back. Not just me, but Brother Xuan and the rest probably won’t have any objections either.”
Qiao Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at Qiao Yu doubtfully.
“Brother Xuan hates family disputes and that’s why he lives outside of the family residence. As for Brother Jing and Brother Ze, they are annoyed but not as direct as Brother Xuan. To put it bluntly, the three of them all have their own careers, so why would they think about inheritance from Grandpa every day?”
