Later, He Became A Royal Healer

Chapter 77 - Not even a glance.



Chapter 77 - Not even a glance.

If he had to speak about the appearance of You Liangxing’s bare upper half, Kang Shengzhe would absolutely say that he had seen it before because he had caught a glimpse of that magnificence back at the hotel in Beijing. And Kang Shengzhe had a profound and deep memory of it too; even if he did not have the leisure time, he would constantly remember those dashing and tempting mermaid lines, and not to mention his skin, those well-proportioned muscles on his chest and abdomen, and that waist which was impossible to forget once it was seen.

However, the power of the current instance was evidently different and out of the norm; it was hard to persevere under the explosive and repeated blows this time around, after one sweeping glance, Kang Shengzhe was basically K.O-ed at where he stood.

You Liangxing was bold and powerful as he gained momentum against the sandbag he was punching, and because he was immersed in that state, he was sweating like rain.

And thanks to the sweat he was working up, You Liangxing had taken off his shirt indoors and nothing regarding his remarkable and robust muscles were hidden.

His complexion was not white but it could be considered as tanned either; rather, it was of a honeyed base. Furthermore, other than the fact that it was of a perfect tone, he was exuding an unspeakable sexiness because of the sheen of sweat that was soaking his body, which caused his hormones to diffuse around his surroundings in a silent and achromatic manner and it was like it was directly taken out from a honeypot.

As You Liangxing continued to deliver his punches, the temperature indoors seemed to climb alongside it, and Kang Shengzhe stared at those magnificent and slick arms. He homed in on the thin layer of sweat that was covering You Liangxing’s shoulders.

Under the simultaneous attack of his power and attractiveness, Kang Shengzhe heard the roaring of his heartbeat that was akin to thunder reverberating in his chest and the thirst in throat felt unbearable.

A hoarse statement tore from his throat: “So hot~”

Liao Su said: “Is it hot?”

Kang Shengzhe said: “Hot.”

In truth, the gym was not hot, but Kang Shengzhe felt like he was so hot to the extent where he was burning. With the mentality of a fan, Liao Su did not pull the rug from under his feet by pointing out that he was not feeling the heat. Instead, he inexplicably looked back at You Liangxing, and he happened to see You Liangxing sending out a punch and his sweat landing on the ground with a pitter-patter. Even as he was looked on casually, it had the unimpeded and dripping wet sensation that a finely cut body could bring.

“Ze ze ze, Brother Liang is really handsome. Even I can’t compare to his stamina. It’s fine if he was merely good-looking, but he just had to be hardworking too. It is no wonder why so many girls like him. You don’t know this but, there have been countless of people who told me to pass him their love letters.”

Abruptly, Kang Shengzhe remarked, “There are a lot of people who give him love letters?”

Liao Su said: “Of course, especially since his good looks are displayed for all to see. However, it is truly unfortunate that people only know that he’s good-looking without being aware that his figure is even better. Haah, hahahahaha, it gets funnier the more I think about it. Right, God K, look at those abs of his, doesn’t it look better than a sports students like me?”

Kang Shengzhe did not say anything for the first half of his words, and by the second half, he was already staring at You Liangxing’s abdomen without even straying once. Soundlessly, he nodded, “It looks very good.”

“Right? Men who possess such abdominal muscles usually have great waists as well. I’m telling you, that waist of Brother Liang’s, it’s definitely a waist that can hold all its other competitors in disdain, normal people can never compare to it...”

As he was speaking halfway, You Liangxing happened to glance over because he heard someone speaking near him. Eyes flitting across, You Liangxing’s hair tossed with his movements as he unintentionally glared at them, and his gaze possessed the swiftness and ferocity that his punches had.

It was handsome and fierce.

Liao Su hissed once and sighed: “Holy shit, he’s so fucking scary.”

Yet, Kang Shengzhe’s entire body stiffened and he hurriedly turned around and bent over slightly. After a short beat, he asked: “... Where’s the toilet?”

Liao Su: “Huh? Toilet? It’s at the back, do you need to go to the toilet? I can bring you there.”

Without any rhyme or reason, Kang Shengzhe seemed to be in a hurry as he said: “No need, I’ll go on my own.”

Before he left, he seemed reluctant to tear his gaze away from You Liangxing. While Liao Su pointed Kang Shengzhe in the direction of the toilet, he felt that Kang Shengzhe’s posture was a little strange but because his exercising-loving heart had been stirred by You Liangxing, he did not pay much attention to it.

Kang Shengzhe’s trip to the restroom lasted for more than ten minutes once he left. And because he took a long time, You Liangxing was already done boxing when he returned slowly from the toilet, and he was currently talking to a middle-aged coach.

Liao Su welcome him back with a smiling expression, He wanted to say something to Kang Shengzhe when he realised that Kang Shengzhe’s gaze was stuck to You Liangxing’s waist and torso as soon as he returned. His eyes turned and an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. In a second’s work, he turned their attention back to the previous subject matter and said excitedly: “God K, I’ll tell you a secret.”

Absentmindedly, Kan Shengzhe responded: “Speak.”

Liao Su laughed: “Do you know how to attract the gaze of the person you like?”

Maybe because his topic was right on target, Kang Shengzhe actually looked back at him, and asked, “You know?”

Liao Su chuckled and said: “Of course I know. Although I’m single myself, I know the key to solving the problem. For men, we must first attract the opposite sex visually, and no matter what kind of appearance we have, we must have abdominal muscles!”

Kang Shengzhe was no longer as interested: “Oh...”

Kang Shengzhe was not a fool; he knew that Liao Su was trying to resurrect the old topic was one glance, and his interest plummeted instantaneously.

Hurriedly, Liao Su said: “Hey, I’m not trying to cajole you into working out, there is really a logic in this! Look, men can be without everything else, but their waists must be good. As for waists, if you don’t have a good waist, how can you find satisfaction in life! Furthermore, do you know how the ladies look at men who don’t have abs these days?”

Kang Shengzhe asked, “How do they look?”

Liao Su: “They don’t even give them a glance!”

Kang Shengzhe said: “Oh.”

Liao Su: “......”

Unexpectedly, the angle of using lovers to persuade him fell through and it felt like he was trudging through oil and salt without any results. Liao Su was a little disheartened, and just as he was sighing with emotion in his heart, Kang Shengzhe said suddenly: “Then what about boys?”

Liao Su: “Ah?”

Kang Shengzhe: “How do boys think?”

Against the sudden mention of boys, Liao Su became dumbfounded. After pondering about it for a while, he replied with the words that were most likely to move him: “Boys are.... They’re just like girls!”

With a countenance of seriousness, Kang Shengzhe frowned as he said: “They don’t look either?”

Liao Su: “Not even a glance!”

It was impossible to decipher what Kang Shengzhe was thinking but his expression became increasingly subtle which gave Liao Su some hope, and the thought heightened more and more.

Suddenly Kang Shengzhe snorted and said: “Oh? If they don’t like looking, then don’t look.”

Liao Su: “......”

You win.

If I continue persuading then I’m a dog.

As they were conversing, You Liangxing finished speaking to his coach. While he was wiping away his sweat, he strode over and his gaze first fell on Kang Shengzhe’s visage. Kang Shengzhe’s gaze was heated and cutting as he stared at him, and his heart jolted, causing him to shift his gaze away minutely.

Liao Su’s complexion was coloured with defeat. Walking over to You Liangxing’s side, he sighed: “I give up, I’m not doing it anymore.”

Upon hearing his words, You Liangxing immediately understood the hidden, underlying meaning within it. However, by virtue of his frank and forthright character, he did not use the topic to ridicule Liao Su and he quickly changed the topic: “Are you still going to work out?”

Liao Su revealed some hesitation; while he was a little tempted, he was reluctant to give up the opportunity to interact with Kang Shengzhe.

You Liangxing stared at him: “Do you want to work out or not? I’m giving you three seconds, three, two—”

Liao Su: “Okay, yes, I’m working out, I’m working out! I’ll find a treadmill to run twenty kilometres and work up some sweat.” Finishing, he glanced at Kang Shengzhe: “I’ll make it fast, give me some time. There is a lot of delicious food nearby and we can go for a meal together tonight. God K, I’ll treat you.”

Liao Su was an open and straight forward person; his actions and thoughts were one and the same, if he said he would go, he would go. With his withdrawal, it left a space for the pair to be alone that was hard to come by.

Having finished his exercise, his body was an assembly of body heat. When he leaned closer to him, Kang Shengzhe felt like he could see the hot air emanating from You Liangxing’s body and he could not help but caress You Liangxing’s back.

You Liangxing froze, and his body leaned forward, stiffening. Before he could ask what kind of stroke Kang Shengzhe was having, the taller man raised the offending hand in front of You Liangxing and complained: “My hand is wet.”

You Liangxing: “......”

Who told you to touch it?

You Liangxing gave him a glare as he continued to wipe off his sweat, but Kang Shengzhe refused to relent as he pressed closer to him, spreading his hand wide open. “Wipe it for me too.”

With the sudden narrowing of distance, You Liangxing could essentially count Kang Shengzhe’s long lashes if he wanted to. He retreated slightly and slapped his towel on Kang Shengzhe’s head: “Wipe it yourself.”

Kang Shengzhe did not hide his disappointment in the slightest and he purposefully dragged his hand along the towel twice before he conscientiously placed it back on You Liangxing’s person. No matter how or how much he looked, his heart was still thundering away.

Frankly speaking, he had no ulterior motives when he asked to meet him today. However, he did not expect that he would be so uncontrollable; he did not know where to safely place his hands and feet and he was constantly plagued with the thoughts of wanting to caress him and touch him a little.

Kang Shengzhe had been single for the past twenty years of his life and he never presumed himself to be a libertine. After seeing You Liangxing boxing, however, all his IQ seemed to have fled him; while Liao Su perceived You Liangxing to be a frightening fiend just now, Kang Shengzhe had felt that You Liangxing was brimming with sexiness and it had made his legs weak.

Okay, it did not go soft, rather...

... Forget it, some things should not be said, it was best to keep silent.

No matter how thick-skinned Kang Shengzhe was, he could not withstand the mounting pressure of his accumulating thoughts. He scratched his head and asked: “How long have you been boxing for?”

You Liangxing said: “Ten years.”

“You started in elementary school?”

You Liangxing replied, “En.”

You Liangxing’s family situation was a tad complicated; while it seemed like his parents had raised him liberally, the reality was that they had never been lax where his education was concerned. Ever since he was young, You Liangxing had access to countless of courses, several times more than an average child, ranging from music, the arts and more. However, among all of them, the only hobby that persisted throughout the years, which he loved immensely, was boxing.

“It feel good whenever I’m practicing boxing, it feels very good.”

Not much needed to be said. The four words ‘it feels very good’ that You Liangxing uttered fully demonstrated his feelings for boxing.

It was true love.

Kang Shengzhe nodded: “But if you were practicing boxing from such a young age, don’t your parents feels bad?”

You Liangxing returned a question: “Why would they feel bad?”

Kang Shengzhe replied, “Because you’ll get hurt.”

Feeling strange, You Liangxing said: “Why would you get hurt when boxing?”

Kang Shengzhe: “Isn’t it very easy to get hurt when you’re boxing?”

You Liangxing paused and thought about it seriously for a moment. He replied: “I’m not sure, the person who was usually getting injured seemed to be the other person ever since I was young.”

Kang Shengzhe: “......”

Feeling like it might be very dangerous to continue this topic, Kang Shengzhe shut his mouth obediently. As his eyes shifted away, it happened to land on Liao Su who was currently running. Seeing them look over, he waved at them and a large smile immediately bloomed on his face.

Kang Shengzhe could not help but say: “He seems to really love running.”

Other than his love for running, it’s also because he’s your fan... You Liangxing added for him silently in his mind. However, now that he thought about Liao Su, You Liangxing quietly contemplated for a while. Considering how he hadn’t forewarned Kang Shengzhe about the rampant recommendation today, he said: “Liao Su is actually a really nice person but he can get a little noisy at times. If he happened to harp too much on something, you don’t have to care too much about it.”

A person who did not like to exercise were naturally born with no love for sports; if he said too much, he might have accidentally annoyed Kang Shengzhe. Thus, You Liangxing felt the need to explain it briefly, which caused Kang Shengzhe to smile and nod.

“I don’t care for it, I really don’t. Honestly speaking, none of it entered my mind.”

You Liangxing: “......”

Kang Shengzhe wore a solemn and serious expression. If those words were heard by Liao Su, You Liangxing was afraid that Liao Su would start wailing. Now that he finally understood where Liao Su’s humiliated expression came from, he felt a sudden surge of sympathy.

Kang Shengzhe smiled and he stared at You Liangxing unceasingly. Suddenly, a thought flashed across his mind and said slowly: “Oh right, just now, Liao Su told me that if men did not have abdominal muscles...”

As he said that, Kang Shengzhe lifted his own shirt, and he was about to continue speaking when he saw You Liangxing look away instantaneously as if he was evading him because he was ill at ease.

Kang Shengzhe: “......”

Exposing his white belly, Kang Shengzhe tried very hard to put himself in front him, “Liang Liang, look at it.”

Due to some thoughts that could not be said out loud, You Liangxing twisted his head away and refused to move. The truth of the matter was that after he saw it once last time, it had lingered on his mind for several days, and if he were to catch another glance of it, he would dream about it even if he was not dreaming. If he was going to be haunted by that white belly in his dreams—well, that was a thought You Liangxing did not want to entertain.

Coldly, You Liangxing said, “Not looking.”

Kang Shengzhe: “... Just one glance.”

You Liangxing: “Not looking.”

Kang Shengzhe: “... Just one look!”

You Liangxing: “Not looking.”

Kang Shengzhe pursed his lips, and his cheeks puffed out in anger. After half a beat, he twisted his feet at where he stood and said in a dispirited voice: “Coach! Coach! I want a card! The kind that lasts for a year!”
