Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1066 - 527:

The muscles in his back sank into the soft leather seat, and his gaze casually fell on the houses and fields covered by the night outside the window.

Just then.

The phone, which had been put back in the bag, started vibrating again, letting out a cheerful ringtone.

Seeing the words "Teacher Lin" flashing on the screen, Fang Cheng’s originally stern lips unconsciously softened a bit.

He raised his hand to press the answer button and placed the phone to his ear.

Lin Chuqiao’s extremely anxious voice immediately came through from the other side:

"Brother Cheng, are you okay?"

"I just saw a huge explosion near the East Suburb TV Tower, and there was a tremor. Is it... related to you?"

"Where are you now? I’m at the highway exit near the East Suburb, driving over to pick you up right away!"

She fired off a barrage of questions at one go, with barely a pause in between, her voice clearly trembling.

Despite Fang Cheng’s stern warning to her earlier not to get involved in this matter, to avoid unnecessary danger.

But this girl obviously couldn’t hold back, secretly keeping watch nearby, constantly paying attention to the movements here, afraid something irreparable might happen.

"It’s nothing, don’t overthink."

Fang Cheng changed his sitting posture, his voice so gentle that even Xiao Shuai, who was focused on driving, couldn’t help but steal a glance:

"Just handled that black-clad assassin, the commotion was a bit much."

"I’m already on my way back, safe and sound."

"Really? Don’t lie to me!"

Lin Chuqiao’s voice still carried a heavy tone of suspicion, clearly still uneasy:

"Last time at the Haoting Hotel, you said it was nothing, but ended up getting blown to bits..."

"This time it’s true. If you don’t believe me, let’s meet tomorrow, and you can check my body yourself."

Fang Cheng chuckled lightly, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"Naughty... who wants to check you!"

A coy complaint came from the other end of the phone, and the tension seemed to finally ease, her tone turning gentle and soft again:

"Brother Cheng, I brought along a special injury ointment, the same one used in Cui City, it’s particularly effective.

"I specially bought several bottles to keep at home, just right for you to use."

Upon hearing this, Fang Cheng instinctively wanted to decline.

After all, with his current constitution and recovery speed, such ordinary external medicine was of no use at all.

Applying ointment was not as practical as eating more meat to replenish True Qi.

But Lin Chuqiao was insistent, persisting on meeting him.

After all, the sight of Fang Cheng covered in blood scabs last time left too deep a psychological shadow on her.

And the intensity of this explosion was no less than that.

Fang Cheng’s casual tone sounded more like a cover to comfort her.

"Alright."

Fang Cheng shook his head helplessly, but a warm feeling flowed through his heart.

He then reported the address of the Midnight Forest Bar, arranging to meet there.

Only then did Lin Chuqiao relent, giving a few more scattered reminders to stay safe before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

Fang Cheng tossed the phone aside and turned to look out the car window.

At this time, the SUV had already entered the edge of the city.

In the distance, the city center, filled with thousands of lights, was as dazzling as the stars.

The neon from the skyscrapers reflected on the car window glass, a flowing spectacle of color.

It was as if it belonged to a different world from the desolate, smoke-filled unfinished building he had just been in.

Fang Cheng gazed at the warm-colored lights, his eyes deep and glimmering slightly.

This peaceful and cozy life was indeed worth going all out to protect.

Even if it meant becoming an Asura walking in the dark for it.
