Chapter 1735

the bandage and carefully applying a new one to Su Ke Xin's injured finger. His obsidian eyes held a serious expression, as if he wasn't facing an injured finger but some precious treasure."Alright."...Since Shenjue appeared in her world, she realized that shared hobbies and topics of conversation were very important. Being with Shenjue felt completely different from being with a mountain cat.

No, she couldn't think that way. The more she thought about it, the more she felt like she and Mountain Cat weren't a good match. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became that the distance between them would only grow wider.

"Sister, sister, your brother is waving at you." The girl next to her nudged Shang Nana with her elbow. She came back to her senses and saw Shen Jue on the stage in the distance giving her an OK hand gesture. In response, she clenched her right fist and gave him a confident thumbs-up.

The person fighting Shen Juan was about 1.8 meters tall, with a build almost identical to Shen Juan's. Shangguan Nana thought to herself that he probably wasn't Shen Juan's match, but she clearly forgot that this was a taekwondo competition where masters were as common as clouds. On such a stage, there was no question of who was superior or inferior; there was only a balance of power and equality.

Shangguan Nana took a deep breath, holding her breath and focusing intently on the upcoming competition. This kind of match made it impossible to guess who would win or lose, truly keeping viewers on the edge of their seats, as if they had been holding their breath all along.

Looking at the evenly matched battle onstage, Shangguan Nana truly admired herself. The good-looking but clumsy spirit, who looked similar in build to Shen Jue, was indeed skilled in martial arts. He fought against Shen Jue himself, and she couldn't even imagine what it would be like if a newcomer fought him.

The two individuals tested each other for over twenty minutes, but neither gained the upper hand. The audience in the stands was electrified by the intensity of the match. They couldn't have imagined that the first round would be so fierce, with both fighters going toe-to-toe, making it a real nail-biter. Only then did the referee blow his whistle and signal for a mid-round break.

Shenjue's opponent was naturally surrounded by a large group of relatives and friends who came forward to offer tea, water, towels, and fans. Even though they were in an air-conditioned room, they seemed to be making a fuss out of it.

The referee, seeing that Shen Jue was alone, kindly handed him a towel. Shangguan Nana stood up from her seat, hesitating whether to go over when Shen Jue smoothed his hair and flashed her a broad smile, as if seeing through her hesitation and worry. This smile, like saying to her, "I'm fine, I'm okay."

It was because of this smile that Shangguan Nana hurriedly took out the mineral water she had given him earlier from her bag and ran all the way to the midfield rest area.

Her hand gripped the crimson silk cord separating her from the audience, its smoothness yielding to a series of creases under her grasp: "If you can't hold on, don't force it. Don't get hurt, whatever happens, retreat unscathed."

"You think I'm the kind of person who gives up at the first sign of trouble"

Just like his usual flippant and nonchalant tone, Shangguan Nana was afraid he might misunderstand, so she quickly retorted: "No no no... I'm not saying you can't beat him... That's not what I meant."

Shen Juan placed his hand on her shoulder, his gaze firm and resolute: "Alright, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, after all these years of training in taekwondo, few people can hurt me. This guy is a bit tough, but he's not invincible. I almost figured out his weaknesses just now. Just give me a little more time..."

Shen Jue pointed at the person and mouthed to her, "Besides, he's not a stamina-type athlete. The halftime break just now was also his request to the referee..."

Shangguan Nana also looked at that man. He lifted his daoist robe's sleeve, and the developed muscles on his arm contrasted sharply with Shen Jian's slender physique. She looked and became even more worried: "But..."

Shen Jue patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry about it. Just rest assured, as long as I want to do something, no one can stop me. Right now, I want to win, this person is nothing in my eyes."

The referee blew the whistle again, signaling the end of halftime. Shen Jue took a sip of water and casually tossed the bottle into the trash can before walking towards the court step by step. protect the mother and child since Lin Xiaoru was carrying his own child.If Gu Chi knew that Lin Xiaoru was the mastermind behind drugging him all those years ago, it would be conceivable that Gu Chi...
