Chapter 257 If I leave, Father A-Cen will only be watching you.
Shen Zicen was very strict with Niannian. He would hit her directly if she didn't do things properly. Although he didn't hit her hard, Niannian's skin was delicate, and even a light poke would leave a red mark.
When Wang Cheng first saw the marks on Niannian's body, he went to confront Shen Zicen.
How could she bear to see her precious child get hurt?
Shen Zicen was not good at explaining, so he simply asked Wang Cheng to take Niannian back and told her to think it over before coming back.
Little Niannian, unaware of what it meant, happily followed Wang Cheng to the Yingkelou Restaurant.
Her plan was simple: she just wanted to rest for a few days and go back home once she had had enough fun.
After playing for a week, Niannian got a little bored. Although she didn't have to practice martial arts or get beaten up every day at Yingkelou, there was no one to play with her, and no Father Acen was there either.
She approached Wang Cheng and said, "Godmother, I want to find Father A-Cen."
Wang Cheng frowned, picked up Niannian with a puzzled look, and said, "Niannian, why do you want to go back? He'll hit you."
Niannian pouted her little lips, "Daddy A-Cen is doing this for my own good."
Wang Cheng had no choice but to send Niannian back, but Shen Zicen refused to see them.
During this week, he thought of Niannian from time to time. He remembered her as a little girl playing in the yard with a small stick, practicing horse stance, and jogging in the morning...
He thought that Niannian would only dare to go out for a day or two at most, since he was very strict with her and trained her the same way he trained them.
He had a premonition that Niannian might follow in her father's footsteps and become a general when she grew up, and that she would inevitably get injured. For her future safety, he had to start training now.
Although he couldn't teach military strategies, he could still guarantee some basic skills.
When Wang Cheng brought Niannian back, he was training the others in the yard.
He saw them walking towards him out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't turn around.
Instead, he looked at the small stool in front of him who was training and yelled at him, "Straighten your arms and keep your stance stable..."
Niannian followed behind Wang Cheng, looking pitiful, and whispered, "Father A-Cen, I'm back."
But Shen Zicen still didn't give them a second glance. Just from that one look, he knew that Niannian had been slacking off these past few days and hadn't been practicing.
You have to practice the basics every day. After a week's break, I'm back to square one.
Moreover, her baby fat has reappeared, and a double chin is starting to appear.
Seeing that Shen Zicen ignored her, Niannian cautiously walked behind him and tugged at his sleeve.
"Father A-Cen~"
Her voice was sweet and coquettish, and Wang Cheng kept glancing at Shen Zicen with envy. She had never heard Nian Nian speak so affectionately before.
Every time, Niannian's eyes would redden, and she would look at her with a pitiful expression. She would feel sorry for her without her having to say a word.
Shen Zicen was determined to ignore her, and he kept correcting the little stool's movements.
Xiao Dengzi is a boy, a bit older than Yunzhi. Although he is a boy, he practices diligently and has a solid foundation in basic skills.
She was more agile and strong than girls of the same age, but Nian Nian seemed to be a natural-born martial arts student with extremely high talent, perhaps due to the Chu family genes.
Her skill level is comparable to Xiaodengzi's, but Nian Nian has been neglecting practice these past few days, so there might be some gap between her and Xiaodengzi.
Shen Zicen felt his clothes being tugged, so he said calmly, "You fight with Xiaodengzi, and if you win, you stay."
Niannian's eyes lit up at first, then she lowered her gaze again, "What if we lose?"
Shen Zicen chuckled, "If you lose, your godmother will take you back."
Niannian pouted. She was sure she could have beaten Xiaodengzi before, but this time she saw that Xiaodengzi was practicing a new move he had just learned.
However, she hadn't learned it yet. She frowned, but seeing Shen Zicen's uncompromising expression, she could only practice together.
Xiao Dengzi and Niannian often sparred, but Niannian had never been this nervous before.
She seemed to know that she had made a mistake this time.
Niannian and Xiaodengzi walked onto the ring, bowed, and then began their fight.
At first, Xiaodengzi used the same tricks as before, which could be countered and blocked by Nian Nian, and even used as an opportunity to launch an attack.
But Xiao Dengzi suddenly changed his strategy and started using the movement techniques that Shen Zicen had taught him over the past week.
Niannian was having some difficulty coping, because in this kind of fight, Niannian was at a disadvantage in terms of height.
But Niannian wouldn't give up. Under Xiaodengzi's continuous attacks, Niannian had no chance to retaliate and could only passively block.
"Bam—"
As their arms blocked each other, Niannian, panting, whispered something in Xiaodengzi's ear, and Xiaodengzi immediately stopped his attack and reverted to his previous move.
Looking at the mischievous Nian Nian, Shen Zicen knew that it was another little trick she was playing. It seemed that Nian Nian might also have a talent for military law.
Gradually, you can see that although Xiao Dengzi is also giving it her all, she is just repeating the same techniques that the two of them learned together before.
"Ha~"
Suddenly, just as the stool was about to attack her, Niannian turned around and dodged it, kicking the stool away in the process.
Finally, Xiaodengzi lay on the stage, unwilling to get up. He remembered what Niannian had said and felt it made a lot of sense.
"If I leave, Father A-Cen will only keep an eye on you."
“I don’t need you to go easy on me. That’s not fair to either of us. Let’s just use the same trick we used before. That would be fairer.”
Xiao Dengzi nodded; he was indeed finding it hard to withstand Shen Zicen's torment these past few days.
After Niannian left, Shen Zicen seemed like a different person, becoming exceptionally strict with him, as if Niannian's training intensity had shifted to his own.
Little Stool nodded knowingly. In the end, although it was against the rules, Little Stool didn't care about that. He just wanted Nian Nian to rescue him.
In the end, Nian Nian won.
