Closing the door in front of her, she heard his laugh echo as he jogged down the steel steps. Her lips curved slightly as she held back a smile from hearing his laugh as warm feelings filled her. It had been less than a week since they met but they had spent so much time together that she had starting getting comfortable with his presence. Now with him gone, she felt a little uncomfortable inside and was not sure what to do with those feelings.

Stepping away from the door, she looked around the room and was annoyed that there were memories of him filled in every part of her apartment. Walking over to the kitchen she cleared the dishes and everything left behind. Wiping down the counter she threw away the lysol wipes before washing her hands. Sighing, she went inside her room and put away the extra bedding and threw the sheets in the wash. As she moved them she could smell his musky wood scent wafting from them irritating her further. "Han Xi Long, you spend one night in my house and you leave behind so much. Hmph, shower twice but everything still smells like you." Throwing them out of her hands she dumped scent boosters to ensure that his scent did not last. It felt a bit excessive but she knew that the more she let him stay, even his smell, the more dangerous it was for her in the future. All attachments she made in this life were weaknesses and could be a mistake in the future. She knew he, himself was a dangerous man but what she had been through and what she was planning to do was equally as dangerous if not, more.

Setting the machine on, she walked back to the room and switched out her clothes for a black workout bra and black highwaisted tights with ripped sides. She loved wearing ripped tights that made her legs look great while still giving her some air flow when she worked out. Placing a hoodie and a mask on, she grabbed her keys and her phone before putting on some maroon nike sneakers. Walking over to the kitchen she grabbed a chilled water bottle and left the apartment after locking up. Her washing machine would take approximately and hour to finish and she refused to sit at home wasting her time. There was no doubt in her mind that if she stayed at home she would be constantly thinking about Xi Long, therefore she would not give herself time to. Everytime she did not want to think she would throw herself into an intensive workout and it had been sometime since she fit in a proper gym session. Especially with all the good food she was eating, she was one fried chicken away from turning into a dumpling.

Covering herself up, she jogged down her steps and started speed walking away from the apartment. Since she had moved into this area there was one gym that she liked to go to when she wanted somewhere quick. There was a fully equipped high-tech gym with Neo and Ming Ming but was 30 minutes away by foot versus the one she was heading to now that was only 15 minutes away. Taking the alleyways and sticking close to the walls she used the buildings as cover for her to walk out of sight. It was a habit for her to naturally avoid all CCTVs and general big crowds as she walked around the city. Every time she is captured on screen is a hint to enemies on her pattern.

Spotting the low hanging sign of the gym, she made her way inside before taking her hood off. Walking towards the counter she signalled the guy before making her way inside. A few days in the city she made a deal with the owner that she would come in from time to time and would be left alone and had a separate rate to pay. He was an older gentleman who didn't care much about who she was and slowly built a small friendship with her over time. The reason why she continued to use this gym was because of the owner and the fact that there were less people here so no one bothered anyone else. Setting down her water, she quickly stretched her body and warmed up before heading towards the boxing bag. Stripping off her hoodie she threw it on the floor before grabbing some extra white wrap from the side. Flexing her fingers she used her teeth to wrap her fingers and make it tight. Cracking her neck and shoulders she closed her eyes getting into a focused mindset. Once she opened her eyes her mind was clear and all she could do was fight.

Using the bag she began raining punches into it with medium force. Switching feet she practiced both sides and let her body slowly slip into routine and remember the movements. She continued the punches without stop and lived for her small flashes of pain on her hands as she made contact with the bag. Every flash of pain urged her to keep going and kept her mind free. Stepping back, she took a deep breath before bringing her hands back up to be in front of her face. Maintaining her stance Ying Yue started kicking the back from the side. Turning her left foot to the side she used that the momentum to drive her leg into the bag with force. By pivoting her feet she could let her h.i.p.s move and let the kick move instead of driving at it from a straight kick. Just as she was getting into the kicks she heard feet shuffling towards her. She noticed the movement but chose to ignore it as if someone was walking past her. As she switched to her other foot she heard a deep annoying voice behind her.

"Hey babe, you want some tips on your kicking, I can definitely help a s.e.xy little thing like you."
