Jealousy, Part II
Hou Jingshu remained mad for the rest of the day.
That morning, after their normal exercise, the group ate breakfast in silence, then traveled to the training hall with the other students. Instructor Lan was already waiting for them and had everyone line up in rows, lectured them on the importance of increasing their strength, then had them begin doing our stretches.

…They sparred.
“I want to spar with you,” Hou Jingshu said suddenly, pointing her finger at Wu Jian.
It was a bit of an unusual request. She normally sparred with Wu Meiying, though she sometimes sparred with the other girls. Perhaps that was why he couldn’t respond right away, and when he did, his response wasn’t what he would have called intelligent.
“You want to spar with me?” Wu Jian pointed at himself.
“That’s right. Spar with me. Right now.”
