Dragon Clan: Start by obtaining the Sett panel

Chapter 27 Protecting the Important People
"Come on! Gu Ye!" Below the stage, Xia Mi was cheering loudly for Gu Ye, and this scene made several big men below the stage reveal a slightly subtle expression.

"I really envy this guy. Not only is he a genius in boxing, but his girlfriend is also so beautiful."

"My family has always been dissatisfied with my playing in the game. Forget about coming to cheer me on. It's already great that I can come out. Gu Ye is really lucky."

Two of the men were talking in a low voice, and this made Xia Mi, who had her back to them, smile.

As expected, my appearance is also outstanding among humans. I will wait until I completely win over Gu Ye and then dump him ruthlessly. He actually dared to reject my kindness...

"Go away, have you finished today's training? If you had worked as hard as Gu Ye, you would have won the championship long ago! Why are you still disliked by your girlfriends?" Coach Lao Liu interrupted their conversation and scolded them impatiently.

"We'll go right away!" The two men left dejectedly, and Lao Liu looked at their backs helplessly.

"They are all so troublesome. Gu Ye is the best..."

"Hello, does Gu Ye often train here?" Hearing Lao Liu's words, Xia Mi turned around and looked at him in confusion.

"You are Gu Ye's friend, right? You have asked the right person. Rain or shine, he has never been absent." Old Liu gave Xia Mi a kind smile and started talking.

"I remember one day it was raining heavily and there was no one in the gym. I was about to go home, but Gu Ye came and trained for the whole day..."

"Is he so hardworking?" Xia Mi subconsciously glanced at the ring. At this time, Gu Ye had already defeated his opponent and was signaling another person to come on stage.

"Yes, and Gu Ye is incredibly talented. He has won more than 400 consecutive games in the one year since he came to the gym. If he didn't have to go to school, I really want to let him stay and fight for me." Old Liu had a very good impression of Gu Ye, so he was happy to praise this young man in front of the girls.

"More than 400 games..." Xia Mi calculated silently. On average, he had to play at least two games a day. What on earth made this teenage boy work so hard?

"Uncle Liu, that's all for today... I'll practice a little more and go home soon." At this time, Gu Ye had finished his duels with all his opponents. He took his own money from the table beside him and waved to Old Liu.

Then he silently began to output to the sandbag beside him, and at the same time looked at the personal information on the system panel. His strength was still B-level, and he was almost motionless. Gu Ye felt that it was completely meaningless to fight with ordinary people now.

After the last time, he did not give up practicing boxing in order to increase his personal attributes, but now it was as if he was at the maximum level and staying in the novice village, and his strength was increasing very slowly.

Even though he could feel that his strength had indeed increased, there was no improvement in the system's data. Gu Ye didn't dare to imagine how long it would take to upgrade from Class B to Class A. Would it take him several years like the Sword God of Shilipo?
Gu Ye was a little annoyed when he thought of this. Even if there were extraordinary creatures, he had no chance to fight them now... Bang! Bang! The sandbags kept flying high under his attack.

"My idol, would you like some water?" Xia Mi came to Gu Ye holding a disposable paper cup.

Gu Ye stopped, took the cup from Xia Mi's hand and drank it all, then turned his head to look at her.

"Nitrogen pump? Where did you get it?"

"I borrowed a little from the uncle over there... I think you should need it, right?" Xia Mi smiled and pointed to an uncle in the distance. After seeing Xia Mi's actions, the uncle gave a thumbs up to the two of them.

"You're really awesome. You've become so familiar with everyone after only being here for a short while." Gu Ye couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right! After all, I am also a beautiful girl~" Xia Mi couldn't help but straighten her chest.

"Thanks! I will practice for another half an hour and then go home. If you want to go back first, just go back directly..." After Gu Ye returned the cup to Xia Mi, he prepared to go back to the sandbag again.

"I say... why are you working so hard? It's not like you're playing a competition or anything like that?" Xia Mi couldn't help but ask.

"Well..." Gu Ye recalled the rainy night and the way Odin handled his fist with ease.

"Maybe it's to protect the most important person to me." Even if there is no way to fight a life-and-death battle, Gu Ye still wants to improve his fighting skills. At least he doesn't want to be unable to do anything when Odin appears again.

"Protect important people..." Xia Mi narrowed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, but soon a smile appeared on her face again.

"Then what about me? I should be very important, right? After all, there are not many beautiful girls like me who are one in a million, right?"

"You?" Gu Ye looked Xia Mi up and down.

"At least in some aspects you are not one in a million..."

"Damn it! I'm just a high school student, okay? I'm still in the growth stage!" Xia Mi reacted immediately and stepped on Gu Ye angrily. Half an hour later, Gu Ye and Xia Mi left the boxing gym. He seemed to have remembered something and spoke to Xia Mi who was walking side by side with him.

"Well...if it's your parents' birthday, what gift would you give them?"

"Is it your parents' birthday?" Xia Mi raised one hand and touched her chin, like a thoughtful Sherlock Holmes.

"I'm not sure, maybe give them a day to rest?"

"Huh?" Gu Ye looked at Xia Mi with some confusion.

"My parents are usually very busy. They don't have any time to breathe because they have to take care of me and my brother. I think maybe what they want is more rest time?" Xia Mi said.

"You're usually very busy...do you often go on business trips?" Xia Mi didn't look like a girl from a poor family, so Gu Ye could only think that her parents might be white-collar workers who often went on business trips.

"That's not the case. I have an older brother who is mentally retarded. Usually, my parents have to rush home to take care of him after work."

"Sorry... I didn't mean it." Gu Ye showed a trace of apology on his face. He didn't expect that Xia Mi, who seemed sunny and cheerful, had such a complicated family background.

"There's no need to apologize, I'm almost used to it. And I don't hate my brother. Even though he's an idiot, he's very good to me. Whenever I go back, he calms down and it saves my parents a lot of trouble." Xia Mi smiled.

"Maybe even if he has a disability, the blood relationship will make him involuntarily want to fulfill his responsibilities as an older brother? If he were normal, I believe he would be a good brother." Gu Ye said seriously.

"Yeah! I think so too! So... it doesn't matter what he likes, what matters is what you give it to him, right? I think parents are already very happy to receive gifts from their children, even if it's just random things." Xia Mi stood on tiptoes, stretched out her arm and patted Gu Ye's shoulder, looking a little funny.

"Thank you for your reminder. I think I should know what to give." Gu Ye did not slap Xia Mi's hand away as he did before. Instead, he acquiesced to her action.

"Then let's stop here today! I'm going home first. My brother is still waiting for me!" Xia Mi ran to the intersection on the side and turned her head as if to give a reminder.

"Will you go home together tomorrow too, my love?"

"Tomorrow is Saturday, right? There are no classes." Gu Ye complained.

"Monday then?"

"It's up to you..." Gu Ye came to the other side, and the two were about to separate here.

"I'll take that as your agreement~" After saying this, Xia Mi's figure gradually lengthened with the setting sun, and in the end only a conspicuous high ponytail was left.

Gu family at night.

"Xiao Ye? Are these the flowers you bought?" Gu Xinya looked at the new carnations in the vase on the table and spoke to Gu Ye in the room.

"It was given to me by someone else. I thought you would like it, mom, so I kept it." Gu Ye answered while flipping through the book.

Gu Xinya's eyes flickered slightly, as if she thought of something, and she smiled.

"Girls nowadays don't even bother to ask their boss before sending flowers. How can you give carnations to boys?"

On the other side, Xia Mi's home.

At this moment, she was silently recording the key points from a love magazine in her notebook. At the top of the notebook it was clearly written: "Showing weakness appropriately can easily arouse a boy's desire to protect you."

"Professional books are indeed useful... Can you still escape from my grasp now?" After making a tick on this line, Xia Mi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and couldn't help muttering to herself.

After organizing her notes, she lay on the bed with a dazed look in her eyes. Suddenly, she remembered what Gu Ye said in the boxing gym.

"Protect the important people..."

"Let's go see that stupid brother." Xia Mi slowly stood up, picked up the potato chips on the chest of drawers beside her and left home.
