NABC Chapter 17 The Little Mustache
Chapter 17 The Little Mustache
Martin and Rona agreed to a friendly match.
After saying goodbye, Lorna left.
She really does have other things to do.
Seeing Martin return alone, Zeng Xiaoxian couldn't help but ask, "Why did Lorna leave?"
"She had to catch her flight this afternoon, so she left first."
Martin explained for a moment, then said, "Alright, we've seen enough of the excitement, Teacher Zeng, Zhanbo, shall we continue?"
Perhaps because Hu Yifei was right there, Zeng Xiaoxian, unusually, didn't make any excuses or dawdle, and started practicing obediently.
Martin took the opportunity to secretly tell Hu Yifei about some things and apologized to her.
Hu Yifei was very magnanimous, saying that she is a modern woman and although she does not understand this aspect, she will not look down on it.
Martin sensed that Hu Yifei's attitude towards Luo Na seemed to have changed significantly after their fight.
After watching Zeng Xiaoxian and Lu Zhanbo train for a while, Hu Yifei and Lin Wanyu also said goodbye and left.
Because Lin Wanyu moved in "naked" and had nothing, the two of them agreed to go shopping at the mall to buy some daily necessities.
Martin encouraged them, "Teacher Zeng, Zhanbo, give it your all, victory is just around the corner!"
Zeng Xiaoxian retorted, "You said the same thing ten minutes ago! Ugh~"
"Yes, I can prove it."
Lu Zhanbo echoed.
"Okay, I'll try a different line. Ahem, keep going! You guys can do it! Persistence pays off!"
"You said that five minutes ago!"
Martin thought for a moment, then said, "Every effort is a beautiful blossoming; let's keep working hard and achieve an even brighter future!"
"I said that twenty minutes ago..."
Martin: "..."
"Damn! That's enough. I'm not here to give you pep talks; a couple of encouraging words are fine!"
Martin, looking displeased, tensed his muscles, ready to try and win people over with virtue.
When Zeng Xiaoxian and Lu Zhanbo saw Martin's flashlight, they were so startled that they quickly continued to huff and puff as they struggled with the equipment.
At this moment, Lu Ziqiao walked over, looked at Martin's imposing figure, and said in surprise, "Wow, Master Ma, I never expected you to be so awesome!"
Martin joked, "Oh, sometimes you run into unreasonable people in this line of work as a priest, and I have to help them pass on physically."
"Hehe, no problem."
Looking at Martin, who was clearly two sizes bigger than yesterday, Lu Ziqiao gave a dry laugh.
Lu Ziqiao asked casually, "By the way, who is that beautiful woman from earlier?"
Martin glanced at Lu Ziqiao, amused. "So that's why you're making small talk with me. You had something else on your mind."
"A friend."
"A friend? Then she..."
Lu Ziqiao's eyes lit up.
Hello, friend!
Martin interrupted, "Hey, Ziqiao, since you've already got a card, you can't just leave it at that, right? Why don't you practice with us? Come on, let me give you a check-up first."
"Huh? This isn't very convenient... is it?"
Lu Ziqiao instinctively clutched his chest and took a step back.
"What are you shy about? Come on!"
Martin pulled him close with his strong arms.
"Hey! No, no, no, flax butterfly—"
...
...
3601, evening.
Looking at Zeng Xiaoxian and his two companions, who were limping, Hu Yifei raised an eyebrow.
Martin herded the three of them into 3601 like sheep, pointing to Lü Ziqiao and introducing him: "Yifei, let me introduce you. This is Lü Ziqiao. Starting tomorrow, he and his girlfriend will be living in 3602. Ziqiao, this is Hu Yifei. She lives in 3601 and is our neighbor."
"Hello," Hu Yifei greeted.
Lu Ziqiao was so tired that he couldn't muster any "gentlemanly manners." He simply nodded, ignored Hu Yifei, and went straight to the sofa.
Zeng Xiaoxian grimaced as he sat down on the sofa, then carefully straightened his legs.
Ouch~ This is so refreshing!
Lu Zhanbo and Lü Ziqiao followed suit and collapsed onto the sofa.
Lin Wanyu, puzzled, asked, "What's wrong with everyone?"
Martin waved his hand, "It's alright. Everything is difficult at the beginning. It's normal to feel pain on the first day of training. It will get better and better as you go on."
"No, no, no, if I keep practicing like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue!"
Lu Zhanbo has completely given up.
With a mournful face, Lü Ziqiao pleaded, "I can't take it anymore, I really can't, Uncle Ma, oh no, Master Ma, please spare me... I have elderly parents to support and young children to raise... I haven't even raised any yet, I can't die, waaaaah..."
Martin shrugged and looked at Zeng Xiaoxian, asking, "And you, Teacher Zeng?"
Zeng Xiaoxian said neurotically, "I feel like my spirit is still alive, but my body is long dead!"
"So you mean we won't continue tomorrow?"
Everyone: "Yes, yes, yes..."
Martin knew they wouldn't last.
Anyway, I don't know what will happen tomorrow, so it's better not to continue.
Martin feigned helplessness and said, "Then I regret to announce... your training is over."
"yeah--!!!"
The three of them felt their pain lessen considerably and cheered.
"They're hopeless! Martin, ignore them. If they won't train, I will!" Hu Yifei stepped forward, worried that Martin would be discouraged.
Martin was taken aback.
"Ah? Well, Yifei, let's forget about it. Your body doesn't need any more training."
Zeng Xiaoxian mocked, "Yeah, you're already as strong as two men. Are you trying to become an alien? Hahaha..."
"You bastard Zeng!"
Hu Yifei immediately got angry and pounced on Zeng Xiaoxian, giving him a good beating.
"Oh! No, no, no, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
"Aren't you in pain all over? I'll help you fight fire with fire!"
"ah--!!!"
Everyone shook their heads and observed three seconds of silence.
...
...
The next day.
A ray of sunlight shone on Martin's face.
"Ugh—"
Martin stretched out a big yawn.
Immediately afterwards, he touched his face.
"Phew~ thank goodness, I... wait, where did this beard come from?"
Martin sprang to his feet and quickly ran to the full-length mirror.
In the mirror, the person's features had changed to a large nose, a red "M" hat, blue overalls, and a beard.
Upon seeing this familiar outfit, Martin blurted out, "Mario?! I've become a plumber?"
This is not good.
I've changed even more this time than I did yesterday!
First of all, there's the appearance. Apart from the fact that you can tell it's a man, it's a completely different person!
And how come my height of 183cm has shrunk?
Her looks are easy to fool, but how do you explain her height...?
"Damn, my muscular physique is gone too! My eight-pack abs, my back, my strong arms... all gone!"
Martin touched his slightly bulging belly with regret, feeling utterly devastated.
