"Medical team! Quickly!"
A flurry of activity.
A group of people immediately rushed in from outside the field, lifting the unconscious Qiao onto a stretcher and carrying him out in a hurry...
Meanwhile, Wu Jiangtao stood on the field, waving to the assembled audience and accepting their thunderous applause and cheers.
As he left the stadium, Wu Jiangtao donned his unremarkable tracksuit and cleverly scaled the back wall of the stadium's courtyard, avoiding any chance of being cornered by reporters from home and abroad...
Once outside, his change of clothes and a mask made him look completely ordinary, and no one paid him any mind. Thus, this new martial arts star, who had secured a precious victory, slipped away unnoticed and returned to his car, driving off.
The reporters who had waited half the day were blocked at the front and back entrances but found no trace of him and eventually returned home disappointed.
In fact, for many resourceful reporters in the country, Wu Jiangtao's address was no secret. The reason they didn't just show up at his door was that this martial arts star was unlike ordinary entertainment celebrities; they were officially employed by the Security Bureau...
Unless he himself was willing, they absolutely could not intrude upon his privacy.
While it was somewhat permissible for celebrities in the entertainment industry, and even for celebrities in other fields of sports, the martial arts community, especially the star-ranked masters, was far too special...
...
"I'm back!"
Wu Jiangtao opened his front door and entered, but received no response from his wife...
Huh?
With a slight sensing, he was somewhat surprised to find that Chen Jun didn't seem to be at home. He walked towards the bedroom to check. Hmm... the two babies were also not there. It seemed they had gone out!
He picked up his phone and made a WeChat call...
"Honey?"
Chen Jun's pleasant voice came through.
"I'm back, did you take the babies out?"
"Eh?" Chen Jun sounded surprised on the other end of the line, "You're back so soon? I thought you'd be at the stadium for a while longer. Didn't you accept any reporter interviews?"
"No, I'm really not interested! Where did you go? I'll come find you..."
"Oh, Li Xiaoshan and Bai Xiaoyuan just came over. After watching your match, we took the babies to the school to stroll around... Come find us then. Dahhuang will be here too!"
"Okay!"
Before leaving, Wu Jiangtao suddenly remembered something. He turned around, went to the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator. There were still some fresh vegetables in the fridge and fish and meat bought a couple of days ago in the freezer...
Hmm... He didn't need to buy groceries for now.
Nodding, he stepped out in his light tracksuit.
...
"Reading classics?"
On the campus of M University, Chen Jun was pushing a stroller, with the two little ones sitting inside, looking around with curiosity, full of wonder.
"That's right!"
Bai Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "It's becoming more and more popular these past two years, especially in some kindergartens. They offer special classic reading classes, starting with the *Three Character Classic* and *Discipline Rules* to enlighten the little ones!"
"Is... is that useful?"
Chen Jun had never heard of this before and was somewhat surprised. The classics she had read since childhood were basically from her Chinese textbooks. She knew of classics like the *Analects*, *Zhuangzi*, *Tao Te Ching*, and *Book of Changes*, and had read some, but didn't often pick them up.
"Yes!"
Bai Xiaoyuan said earnestly, "For example, when I'm preparing for pregnancy and during pregnancy, I'll start reading classics for prenatal education. Even just listening to them is very good, giving the baby a wonderful nurturing environment. Once the child is born, I'll start reading classics with them from kindergarten. It's a process of opening wisdom! I think it's excellent!"
She emphasized that at the age of Dou Dou and Miao Miao, they could start listening to the *Three Character Classic* and *Thousand Character Classic*, and talked about the benefits of reading classics.
"Of course, training memory and helping babies concentrate better are all side benefits. I think children reading classics from a young age is about awakening, developing the inherent wisdom of their nature!"
Chen Jun couldn't help but nod as she listened.
Among their colleagues, Bai Xiaoyuan might not have achieved much academically, but she had the highest literary attainment among their close friends...
Chen Jun vaguely understood what she was saying and planned to research it herself and read some classics when she got back.
Yes, if she was going to read classics with her little ones, she had to lead by example. Only by reading them herself would the babies follow suit.
Although she was still learning how to be a better mother, she had a profound understanding of one thing when it came to educating children...
Teaching children wasn't just about talking; it had to be done with personal example, only then would children be moved and learn.
In this regard, she had learned from her own mother.
As they walked, they saw a tall, familiar figure ahead on the tree-lined path. Chen Jun looked closely and a charming smile bloomed on her face.
"Wow, welcome back, hero who has brought glory to the country!"
Bai Xiaoyuan greeted him with a smile.
Wu Jiangtao, who had walked closer, was suddenly unsure how to respond. He paused for a moment and could only smile and shake his head.
"...I did my best, that's all!"
"Holy cow! That fighter named Qiao broke two ribs in his chest during the match just now, and six other bones are fractured..."
Li Xiaoshan, who had been idly scrolling through her phone nearby, suddenly exclaimed and held out her phone screen, "You guys have to see this!!!"
Chen Jun and Bai Xiaoyuan quickly took the phone and saw a reporter outside the hospital entrance, detailing the scene they had just captured. Yes, there were some diagnostic reports from the hospital—
The main content was what Li Xiaoshan had said, along with descriptions of ligament and muscle fascia sprains in the shoulder.
Wu Jiangtao, standing in front of them, remained calm, having long expected this.
On the phone screen, Qiao, who had regained consciousness, was sitting up in bed. His face looked a little pale, but he was still smiling and reassuring fans that although he couldn't continue in the 'Number One Martial Arts Tournament' due to his injuries, he would definitely participate in the league matches of the 'Martial Saint Open Championship' six months later and would not let them down...
Next, the guy went on to say that with his physical condition, he would be fully recovered and back to peak form within two months for recovery training. Finally, he said that he was genuinely convinced of his defeat today, but that he would definitely train harder in the future and get his revenge...
Wu Jiangtao: "???"
