"That's all for now, see you tomorrow." Gu Ran took off her Bluetooth headset.
At this moment, he was in a meadow in the suburbs.
This is the Secret Service's stronghold in the city. From the outside, it looks like an abandoned school, but inside there are playgrounds, lawns, and training grounds.
Gu Ran appeared here because he had arranged to meet Raymond for kumite training.
"I'm all warmed up." Gu Ran put his phone, keys, and other belongings aside, then put on his combat protective gear.
Raymond also put on protective gear and said, "Today we're practicing combat."
"it is good."
Not long ago, Gu Ran received a reward of 2 chakra cards. Because of the sudden increase in chakra in his body, his muscles were not able to control the chakra very precisely.
So these days, he's been strengthening his control over his body's chakra through high-intensity physical training.
Every day, Gu Ran gets up at six o'clock to go for a run, and then meets up with Raymond to practice together, sometimes hand-to-hand combat, sometimes sparring.
Raymond is proficient in special forces combat techniques and has also practiced ancient martial arts such as Xingyi Quan and Judo, giving him extensive combat experience.
Chapter 80 Su Mama
Gu Ran benefited greatly from sparring with Raymond.
Taking advantage of the free time, Gu Ran would spar with him for two hours every morning, exchanging practical combat insights.
In order to use all the moves in combat, a lot of sparring training is required, which is what traditional martial arts call practice and routines.
As you practice and demonstrate moves repeatedly, your body develops muscle memory, allowing you to use those moves at will on the battlefield.
"Actually, we rarely engage in hand-to-hand combat during missions; we mostly use weapons and firearms," Raymond shared his experience with Gu Ran.
He continued, "But it's very difficult for us to practice firearms in China, so in the coming days, we'll practice more military combat."
Next, Raymond shared some of his combat techniques and experience.
Raymond is more skilled with short weapons such as daggers, as well as firearms.
When combined with his Word of Power: Blazing Sun, using firearms can produce unexpected results.
Raymond's experience with short weapons is to treat the dagger as an extension of the fist and to always judge the distance carefully.
Gu Ran usually prefers to fight with kunai, which is similar to a dagger, and he has some insights into this.
If it's a sword, then you need to practice techniques like slashing, chopping, and thrusting, which Raymond isn't good at, so Gu Ran has to figure it out on his own.
Gu Ran thought that if she wanted to practice swordsmanship, she could ask Chu Zihang for guidance after the start of the semester.
After sparring with Raymond every day, Gu Ran would go to Su Xiaoqiang's house for lunch, and then meditate for a while afterward.
After the two of them returned to China from South Korea, Su's father initially had a lot of opinions about Gu Ran.
When their daughter learned that her boyfriend was injured, she didn't even celebrate her birthday. She grabbed her passport and ran abroad, only telling her family after she arrived overseas.
This made Su's father very unhappy.
Although my daughter will eventually get married, she is still too young.
At the very least, we should wait until the legal marriage age.
Although Mr. Su married a foreign woman and travels abroad frequently, he is still very conservative in his approach to his daughter's education.
However, later, Su Xiaoqiang returned with gifts and coaxed him. He also learned that his daughter had been sleeping in a separate room in South Korea and that the two had not taken the final step. Only then did his attitude soften.
His daughter is so beautiful, how could this guy resist?
At least that kid has some sense of responsibility.
Su's father's opinion of Gu Ran also changed somewhat.
He was satisfied with Gu Ran and approved of his relationship with his daughter, but he just didn't want their relationship to develop so quickly.
This is what's troubling Su's father.
Fortunately, Su Xiaoqiang kept speaking well of Gu Ran and took the opportunity to bring out the gift that Gu Ran had bought in South Korea.
Seeing how sensible his daughter's boyfriend was, Mr. Su felt somewhat relieved and invited Gu Ran to his home for a meal.
During the meal, the two toasted each other and their relationship deepened.
"Gu Ran, I only have one daughter, and I'm entrusting her to you. You can't let her down, otherwise... I'll definitely find someone to bury you in the mine!" Father Su was drunk that day, but he spoke the truth and acknowledged Gu Ran.
Gu Ran quickly agreed, saying that he would not let Su Xiaoqiang down.
Mr. Su patted Gu Ran on the shoulder, and then passed out drunk.
From then on, Su's father insisted that Gu Ran come over for meals every day. Since he was alone at home anyway, he figured it was better for him to eat here, since they would all be family from now on.
However, after dinner, Mr. Su still wanted Gu Ran to go back to his own home to sleep.
He wasn't worried about Gu Ran stealing kisses in the dark; he was only afraid that his daughter wouldn't be able to resist throwing herself into his arms.
Sigh, being a father is always so contradictory.
Gu Ran understood Su's father, so she didn't mind.
The villa complex where Su Xiaoqiang lives has a private swimming pool, which is cleaner than the ones outside.
Gu Ran goes swimming at the swimming pool every day after her midday meditation.
Swimming is a full-body exercise that causes little damage to the joints, but it is very physically demanding.
Gu Ran swims in the pool every day, trying to use up all her physical strength.
After persisting for a period of time, he could clearly feel that his body's control over chakra had become more refined.
……
This afternoon.
Gu Ran swam in the pool as usual, while Su Xiaoqiang, wearing an apron-style swimsuit, sat by the water with a DSLR camera, occasionally taking pictures of her boyfriend.
Not long ago, when Gu Ran first arrived at the club's swimming pool, many women in their thirties came over to flirt with him after seeing his muscular physique and handsome face.
Seeing her boyfriend attracting so many admirers, Su Xiaoqiang began accompanying him to the swimming pool every day and asserting her ownership of him.
So, over time, Gu Ran became a familiar face in the villa area. Everyone in the villa area knew that he was the son-in-law of the Su family, so no one bothered him anymore.
But quite a few older women still peeked at his figure.
During this time, Su Xiaoqiang became obsessed with photography, and the photos she took most often were of her boyfriend.
"Let me see how well you took the photos." At this moment, a white woman sat down next to Su Xiaoqiang and snatched the camera from her hand.
"Hey, my daughter, why are you taking pictures of his abs? Why not take a picture of his face too?"
"Mind your own business!" Su Xiaoqiang snatched the camera back and hugged it to her arms. "Mom, what brings you here?"
This white woman is Su's mother; she is wearing a one-piece swimsuit with a sheer overcoat.
This outfit clearly doesn't indicate that they're going swimming.
Mrs. Su said, "I came to see my son-in-law's swimming style and also to see my lovestruck daughter's silly grin."
Su Xiaoqiang chuckled and leaned against her mother.
Su's mother asked, "I heard he swims three kilometers every day?"
“He’s started swimming five kilometers every day these past two days.” Su Xiaoqiang raised her camera and pressed the shutter as Gu Ran emerged from the water.
"He really has a great physique," Mrs. Su said sincerely after admiring him for a while.
Su Xiaoqiang immediately covered her mother's eyes with her hands: "Don't look!"
Su's mother smiled and played around with her daughter for a while.
She was in her early forties, but she was very well-maintained, with a well-proportioned figure, no excess fat, and no signs of weight gain in her face; she looked to be only around thirty years old.
Together with Su Xiaoqiang, the two looked like a pair of sisters.
"My dear daughter, I have something to tell you."
"what's up?"
Su's mother hugged Su Xiaoqiang and whispered in her ear, "It's normal for things to happen when boyfriends and girlfriends are together, but you must be careful to take safety precautions."
Su's mother is Portuguese, and she is more open-minded than Su's father in this regard.
Safety measures must be taken very seriously.
Su Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, then blushed and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? My dad didn't forbid me..."
"Even though your father says that, when will you ever listen to him?"
Chapter 81 Equivalent Exchange
“Besides, when things get really heated, I’m afraid you’ll be even more proactive than Gu Ran.” Su’s mother pinched her daughter’s cheek. “In short, you’re still too young. Getting pregnant isn’t a good idea. You should at least wait until you graduate from university.”
"Mom...I understand..."
"Judging from your expression, you're determined to marry no one but him." Su's mother smiled and stared into her daughter's eyes. "In Korean dramas, someone who loves so deeply like you would hardly fall in love with someone else."
Su Xiaoqiang's gaze fell on the platinum bell bracelet on her wrist. She suddenly smiled and shook her wrist.
The bells emitted a soft, melodious sound, which brought joy to people.
“You’re older than Gu Ran by age, but he looks more mature than you, so I trust him more than I trust you,” Su’s mother said with a smile, ruffling her daughter’s hair.
"Mom!" Su Xiaoqiang snuggled in her mother's arms, "Why are you so worried about your own daughter?"
"It's precisely because she's my own daughter that I'm worried," Su's mother said, tapping her daughter's head.
Su Xiaoqiang covered her head, pouted, and pretended to be angry, trying to coax her mother.
Suddenly, she saw Gu Ran finish swimming and come out of the water.
Like a war correspondent, Su Xiaoqiang immediately picked up her DSLR camera, stared intently at the viewfinder, and started snapping photos of her boyfriend who had just emerged from the water.
Wow, that's awesome! Those abs are so cool!
Seeing her daughter's expression, Su's mother laughed with amusement.
Hearing his girlfriend's camera shutter click, Gu Ran smiled and walked over, greeting Su's mother.
