"You must remember that when you just squat down, the width between your shoulders is the same. Remember, when you squat down all at once, you must squat down slightly, with your toes turning forward and your center of gravity shifting downwards. Then, gradually deepen your squat, and at this time, your feet should be spread out to a width of two to three feet, with your hands changing from embracing to flat swing. Then, the palms of your hands should move downwards. This is the correct posture." Li Yi instructed while helping Gu Yan adjust his posture.

Gu Yan continued to stare at Li Yi's face, feeling that he was really attractive. The reason Gu Yan came to study martial arts was also solely for Li Yi. He wanted to find an excuse to get close to him. Ever since that night when he tasted the other party's fragrance, Gu Yan would dream of Li Yi every night. In his dreams, Li Yi was passionate, bold, and charming. How could one experience with such a beauty ever be enough?

Gu Yan's feet went numb, so he sat directly on the floor. Seeing this, Li Yi grabbed a feather duster and took a swing at his buttocks, causing Gu Yan to jump in pain.

"Does it hurt a lot?" Li Yi glanced at Gu Yan and targeted his buttocks, giving it another pull.

"Hey, hey, hey... Uncle, Uncle Li, stop hitting! How can it not hurt when you use such a sturdy chicken feather duster to hit someone?" Gu Yan wanted to play tricks, wanting to embrace the person in his arms and caress their supple body. However, he couldn't get too close to him when Li Yi got angry, after all, he still held a "lethal weapon" in his hand.

"You're currently not as capable as others. In the future, if someone bullies you, you will only end up getting beaten. The weak have no right to protect others, and I also find you embarrassing." As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed to inspire Gu Yan. He immediately stood up and took up a military stance, performing the movement with precision. While Li Yi was about to turn around to take a sip of water, Gu Yan said something from behind him.

I will become stronger because I want to protect Uncle Li... Gu Yan's gaze firmly met Li Yi's eyes, but Li Yi nodded and smiled, considering it all a mere child's play.

"I don't need anyone to protect me, especially not a little brat like you who doesn't have the ability to take care of me in my old age."

Li Yi never believed in these ghostly words, but he just listened when Gu Yan said it. Gu Yan has always been a pampered young master, so if he squats for too long and his feet go numb, Gu Qi would also feel sorry for him. Therefore, Li Yi didn't plan to let him squat for too long. For beginners' training, three hours a day is enough. In martial arts training, it mainly relies on oneself. Strict constraints actually have little effect, perseverance is the most important.

On the night of Lincheng, a slight chill permeated the air. Li Yi squatted outside the entrance of the martial arts school and took a puff of cigarette. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and he felt that it was time to put on a jacket.

After Li Yi went back inside and put on his coat, he casually tossed a shirt to Gu Yan and asked him to wear it. When Gu Yan caught the shirt, he was delighted, thinking that it was a gift from Li Yi.

"Is this... for me?" Gu Yan asked.

"No, it's just something I randomly picked up. It should belong to one of the previous students and was left here. Whether you wear it or not is up to you, but don't blame me if you catch a cold without clothes to wear."

Li Yi took out his phone and glanced at WeChat. There was a flashing red notification dot in the chat box. Without much thought, Li Yi clicked on it. Inside was a message from a girl. She was a college student, whom Li Yi had met at a bar last week. She was young, beautiful, and seductive in bed, although she wasn't exactly Li Yi's type. However, indulging in some wild escapades once in a while wouldn't hurt.
