King of Sports 220 Yan Bing 1

The Yanxing Municipal Government's aim this time was to help promote martial arts, so they were offering half off on lessons. 

After gaining the power of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, Tang Yan also hoped to promote martial arts.

With the development of technology, many children were attracted indoors by electronic devices causing an increase in childhood myopia and obesity, and with falling interest in outdoor activities such as football, athletics, hockey, tennis etc, a lot of kids were losing out on the chance to learn the accompanying values ​​that came with them such as discipline, teamwork, leadership, even just learning how to be sociable. 

If his presence could encourage some kids, teenagers or even adults to go outside and do some form of exercise or sport, then he was willing to do his part. 

Arriving on-site he realised it was quite packed and when people heard that Tang Yan was there, they began to cheer. 

And so it began, a lot of children onsite with their parents began to bug them and the registration sheets for the martial arts classes were hot in demand, there was only a number of limited spaces in each class.

At the end of the event, Tang Yan came forward and took photos with the children and all those who had signed up for a martial arts class, bringing a successful end to the event.

...

After leaving the event, it was almost time for dinner, and it was then that he took out his phone and found that Yan Bing had called him and sent a text message.

She had returned to Yanxing, so he decided to go meet her.

Having Zhuang Jiajie head back first, he took a taxi to where he was meeting Yan Bing.

After getting in the taxi, the taxi driver recognized him, so they took a photo and Tang Yan signed an autograph for him, before they started heading off.

After dropping him off the taxi driver took his fee, and left with excitement.

As the taxi left, Tang Yan touched his chin, he was beginning to get recognized more and more. How long would it be before he needed a security team. 

He began walking up to where Yan Bing said to meet. 

There were many celebrities in Yanxing, but the most well-known or who the city was most connected to was Lu Xun.

Lu Xun original name Zhou Shuren, was a writer, his books and poems were literally national curriculum so pretty much everyone who had been a student knew him.

The place where Yan Bing said to meet was the former residence of Lu Xun.

When he arrived, he found that Yan Bing was waving to him, already in line.

"I thought we were going for dinner, Yan'er, but now you've brought me to some dead guy's former residence?" Tang Yan asked, smiling at Yan Bing.

"You'll understand in a bit, there are a lot of delicacies inside." Yan Bing replied, sticking her tongue out at him.

Tang Yan shook his head with a smile.

"By the way, I heard that you won another boxing competition. Well done, not bad so...how many medals is that now?" Yan Bing asked as he lined up behind her.

She also took out a packet of food from her bag and handed it to him saying, "Flower cake, specialty of Yanxing."

"Oh, I don't even know at this point, I just use them as cup coasters. I'll have to check later." Tang Yan replied with a smirk and took the flower cake with a smile and said, "Tastes good."

"The way you keep switching you'll probably end up with a medal for every sport in the world. I'll have to start learning more about sports in the future, otherwise I probably won't be able to communicate with you, mister international sports star." Yan Bing said as she unscrewed a bottle of water,

"Be careful not to choke, drink some water."

"Hahaha, didn't you say you wanted to be a reporter? How about looking into sports reporting? Then you can follow me around and praise me all day for my stunning victories, ahhh think about it, what an amazing job that would be!"

With that, the two instantly broke out into laughter.

Recovering from her laughter, Yan Bing blushed slightly and shook her hand to give Tang Yan the water bottle. 

Tang Yan smiled and took the water, took a sip and said nothing.

Perhaps because of growing up together, he was more relaxed when he talked to Yan Bing.

And thinking of it, Yan Bing had truly grown up well, she was even more beautiful than when they were younger.

At this moment, he noticed that there were two people looking their way.

When he looked back. He saw it was two young guys, looking about twenty years old.

Their eyes were on Yan Bing, and they whispered as they stared.

"Next." At this moment, the conductor called out.

"Come on, let's go." Yan Bing stepped forward and said.

Tang Yan withdrew his gaze.

After buying tickets, Yan Bing led Tang Yan into Lu Xun's former residence.

The residence wasn't just Lu Xun's house, it had been turned into a proper attraction, they had drawn in the equivalent of several streets into one compound and made it into a tourist area.

As Yan Bing said there was a lot of delicious food being served as you walked down the streets.

Huadiao wine, fennel beans, drunken shrimp, duck, and of course stinky tofu. There was a huge variety of food.

However, because of the swimming competition tomorrow, Tang Yan didn't dare to eat, he just bought a standard salad and instead he watched Yan Bing eat and try out different food. 

The two of them walked around for a while and suddenly found a section of stores specializing in wooden products.

To Tang Yan's surprise, there was even a stand selling bows here and they looked well crafted as well.

"I'm going over there, to look at the wooden combs." Yan Bing said before heading off to a different stand as she saw him stop, fascinated.

Tang Yan nodded and looked up after picking up the bow.

But after looking over it for a while, he was a little disappointed. The surface of the bow was greased to make it look better but in fact, it was made of ordinary pine wood, which wasn't very durable. Pine wood was too soft to handle very much compression, and it would likely splinter after a couple of shots.

With a price tag of more than ¥800/ $120 it was basically throwing money down the drain.

He lowered the bow and went to find Yan Bing's figure.

Walking towards the store she had headed to, he heard:

"...If you don't mind, beautiful lady, could I have your number?"

He looked up, and coincidentally, he saw the two guys from the queue outside.

Talking to Yan Bing, was the handsomer one of the two.

"I noticed you when we were lining up outside. I didn't expect that we would run into each other again. It seems like fate!" The handsome guy continued, smirking slightly.

Yan Bing's expression showed that she was a little stunned at this, it was apparent she didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

"Thank you, but I have a boyfriend, sorry." Yan Bing replied.

Yan Bing had a boyfriend?

Tang Yan about to step forward froze, he didn't know what to do. There was a trace of disappointment in his heart.

"Ohh that's fine, I just want to make friends with you. This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful woman like you, you're like God's gift to us. "

Yan Bing turned bright red at this. 

And seemingly sensing a gaze, she looked over in Tang Yan's direction and noticing him she called out: "Oh look, my boyfriend is here."
