Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 38

It was only on the next day when Lisa reported to the west wing and obtained the ice skating gears that her heart which had been highly strung for the entire period finally relaxed.

It was a dream came true.

At the same time, her curiosity was piqued.

"Coach Seo, may I know why you changed your mind?" Lisa could not hold in her curiosity and asked her quietly.

"Rather than having the energy to mull over this, why not put in effort to think about how to regain you muscles within the shortest time"  Coach Seo pointed to the pile of items that Lisa held. She rapped the box holding a pair of skates at  the very top, "This pair of skates alone is 4,800 yuan".

Lisa was aware of its value. She owned a pair herself and usually brought her own skates to the ice rink to show off. However, she had used that pair of skates for quite long and it was time to switch.

This was the greatest drawback of ice sports; too much money was needed. Speed skating was already considered cheap compared to the others. For instance, Yeonjun's figure skating required him to have his own team and engage people to specially design his clothes and choregraph his programs. Next, lookin at Jungkook, his years of ice hockey had chalked up and an astronomical sum based on his equipment and coach training fees alone. Furthermore, he would head overseas for training every year with Canada being the most travelled country.

Without coming from a family with some wealth, no one would be willing to burn their money like this.

"Coach Seo, I won't let you down" After saying this, Lisa went to keep the items. She would not be going on ice for the time being. The afternoon, she would be training her muscles and sense of balance.

There were quite a few people in the practice venue and nearly all of them were student athletes. While Lisa trained, she could distinctively sense unveiled looks of disdain tossed towards her from all directions....

"Say, what is the fastest way to gain muscles?" During lunch, Lisa asked Jungkook. She exhaled a long sigh. "I can't believe that I'm saying this but I actually kind of miss the nickname "She-hulk".

Jungkook pointed to her lunch tray. "You're asking me this this while eating sweet and sour pork and red braised pork?"

"Ah, I was too tried and forgot" Looking at the food on her plate, Lisa felt a little reluctant thinking of the delicious food that she would have to part with. She asked, "Not even red braised pork? Previously, I could eat red braised pork when I was still doing speed skating"

"It's not suitable for you now at this stage"

"Oh, alright" Lisa drew in a deep breath and strengthened her resolve. "This will be the last time, I'll take it as an official farewell" Saying, she stretched her chopsticks towards the red braised pork.

Swiftly, Jungkook used his chopsticks to intercept and snap her chopsticks shut.

"Not farewell funeral" He swept all of the red braised pork onto his own plate.

As for the sweet and sour pork, it would end up in the rubbish bin.

Lisa looked at him with chagrin.

Jungkook saw that she was so annoyed her eyes were glistening, which looked especially adorable. Jungkook held his forehead. Lately he kept feeling that Lisa looked so adorable. There must be something wrong with his brain.

Fine, so be it. If this was the case, he admitted it.

He went back to the canteen stalls and helped Lisa to buy a new set of food. When he returned, he saw Lisa staring blankly at the red braised pork but her chopsticks were untouched.
