CHAPTER 178: CHAPTER 182 ARE YOU SHY?

Following her instructions, he bent down, and the distance between them naturally decreased. She reached out, wrapped her arms around his neck, and suddenly planted a kiss on his cheek with a crisp "smooch" sound.

This time, it was Kyle Kinston’s turn to be somewhat stunned. Originally, he wanted her to make a proper demonstration, expecting her to prove that she would train seriously later on and not embarrass him as his girlfriend. Yet, he did not anticipate this kind of "proof" from her.

Mabel Quinn blushed and said, "There, is that enough?"

Those dark eyes suddenly snapped back to reality as they looked at her, and then... Mabel Quinn noticed that Kyle Kinston’s ears seemed to have reddened...

————

Was he... shy?!

As this thought crossed her mind, Mabel Quinn almost felt struck by lightning. A man like Kyle Kinston didn’t seem like someone who could ever be associated with shyness!

However, her gaze couldn’t help but drift towards his ears.

"Alright, since you want to train, when I teach you later, focus on it," he said rather awkwardly. Just now, it was merely a simple kiss, but unbelievably, it left him momentarily dazed.

It was as if, in that instant, his mind went completely blank.

"Okay," Mabel responded, and then she focused all her attention on the upcoming training.

After some warm-up exercises, Kyle Kinston began teaching Mabel Quinn some basic self-defense moves. Although these moves seemed similar to what her drill instructors taught during military training, Kyle Kinston’s demonstrations were far more appealing, truly remarkable. Each move was fluid, yet conveyed a sense of power, making her feel quite fired up.

Mabel Quinn couldn’t help but sigh at the importance of looks. If her drill instructor had been Kyle Kinston back then, perhaps she would have learned those self-defense moves with much more enthusiasm.

After finishing a set of moves, Kyle Kinston asked, "Is there anything you don’t understand or can’t grasp?"

Mabel Quinn answered straightforwardly, "No, nothing."

"Okay, show me the set," he indicated for her to practice the routine she had just seen.

Mabel thought for a moment and then replied, "Um... I actually didn’t understand any of it, could you perform it again?"

"..." As their eyes met, Mabel immediately felt a surge of pressure, assuming he had overestimated her, thinking she could perform the moves just from watching once.

Moreover, when he was performing just now, she was too busy appreciating his movements to remember any of the actual steps.

Kyle Kinston glared at Mabel Quinn, who tried her best to thicken her own skin.

A few minutes later, Kyle Kinston started demonstrating the same set of moves again. This time, Mabel Quinn focused her attention on memorizing each of his moves.

Yet, it wasn’t until Kyle Kinston had demonstrated three times and then guided Mabel Quinn hand by hand three more times that Mabel finally managed to remember the entire set of moves with great difficulty.

Mabel Quinn’s performance in this regard was enough to be labeled as a "bad student," which caused Kyle Kinston some headache. If it had been in the past, someone like this would have been called out by the officer and punished with 30 laps around the field.
