Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Tang Jun hurriedly approached, and after a short while, his eyes grew wider and wider as he muttered, "Uncle Mo, can this really work?"

"Definitely." Mo Siyu replied confidently, "Xiao Jun, I'm going to be your brother-in-law soon, who calls their brother-in-law 'uncle'?"

"It's not official yet." Tang Jun gave him a sideways glance.

Mo Siyu's eyes twinkled as he said, "In that case, if the method I teach you works, you'll call me Brother Mo, and if it doesn't, you can keep calling me Uncle Mo."

"Uhm..." Tang Jun drew out his words as he looked at Mo Siyu, uncertainly asking, "You're not trying to scam me, are you?"

"How could I scam you?" Mo Siyu asked with a darkened face.

"Like having Li Wei intentionally lose to me." Tang Jun glared at him.

Mo Siyu: ...

"Brother Mo." Li Wei came over, cheerful and lively, along with Zhao Xiangqian and Yan Dong.

He was ecstatic, Zhao Xiangqian had lost them US$ 100 together with Yan Dong!

They had agreed that if Brother Mo could lure someone to Jing City, to their team this year, they would win.

As a result, Zhao Xiangqian, who would not believe it, brought the money on the first day little sister-in-law arrived—US$ 100, which could buy quite a lot of food.

Li Wei and Yan Dong, who had just received the money, were happy and planned to treat everyone to a good meal the next day.

"You can go now, there's no scam in that, right?" Mo Siyu cleared his throat, he had always been a man of his word, upright and open, with no one ever suspecting him of foul play.

"Do you want me to win or lose?" Tang Jun couldn't help but ask, as being thrown over Li Wei's shoulder today made him doubt whether all his previous practice was just for show—flashy but lacking real strength.

"Just do as I said, and you'll definitely win." Mo Siyu was full of confidence, his absolute certainty infecting Tang Jun as well.

Li Wei had just come over when Tang Jun stopped him and said, "Do that shoulder throw you did this afternoon."

Li Wei looked bewilderedly at Tang Jun, thinking he was still upset about the afternoon's events, and quickly apologized, "Tang Jun, I was wrong about today, I acted without understanding the situation, it's my fault, I apologize to you."

"No, I don't want your apology." Tang Jun explained.

"Tell me what you want, just say the word." Li Wei was ready to accept whatever came.

Tang Jun said, "Give me a shoulder throw."

Li Wei looked crestfallen and turned to Mo Siyu with a mournful expression, "Brother Mo, I really made a mistake, I just wanted to help a little... Miss Tang, I didn't know it would hit one of our own."

"Young man, how do you want to punish Li Wei?" Zhao Xiangqian, still distressed by the loss of US$ 100, perked up at Tang Jun's words, "I'll tell you, what Li Wei fears most is night-time weight-bearing cross-country running. Make him run ten kilometers, and if he encounters a snake, he'll faint from fright."

"Hmm, if not weight-bearing cross-country, then make him do fancy push-ups," Zhao Xiangqian suggested maliciously on the side.

Li Wei felt so miserable that he longed for tears, looking pitifully at Mo Siyu.

"Cough." Tang Jun felt a twinge of sympathy for Li Wei as he listened, then spoke up, "About this afternoon, I don't blame you; you were trying to protect my sister. I just want to try and see if I can break your shoulder throw."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief. After confirming with Mo Siyu, he diplomatically said, "Tang Jun, without one or two years of practice, you won't be able to break my shoulder throw."

He had been here for several years; shoulder throws seem simple, but truly countering them requires training.

"I'll just give it a try," Tang Jun insisted.

Li Wei, scratching his head anxiously, said, "Brother Mo, is it going to be a real throw?"

"Real fall." Mo Siyu nodded.

Li Wei was troubled and persuaded, "With your skinny arms and legs, what if you get hurt from the fall? What then?"

Tang Jun is much shorter than him, less sturdy in build, and besides, Tang Jun is just a junior high student. This... no matter how you look at it, it seems like he's just picking on Tang Jun.

What if, in the future, the little sister-in-law found out and gave him a hard time? What then?

"It's fine, I'm willing." Tang Jun made his stance clear, saying, "I just want to give it a try."

The noise outside drew Wei Jiajie and Zhang Qiang out, too. Upon hearing that Tang Jun wanted to try, Wei Jiajie, not to be outdone, said, "I want to try as well."

"Count me in too." Zhang Qiang was eager to try.

Li Wei: ...

The little sister-in-law's three brothers are really competitive, each more than the next.

"Aren't you going to start? If not, I will," said Tang Jun, seeing Li Wei hesitating to make a move.

Wei Jiajie and Zhang Qiang, one challenged Zhao Xiangqian, and the other sought out Yan Dong.

The two, who were at first just there for the excitement and didn't mind a big scene, now found themselves in a dilemma, just like Li Wei.

If they were too hard-handed, what then?

"Alright, stop dilly-dallying, these few lads here have got more guts than you," Mo Siyu pursed his lips, also curious to see what the three of them were really like.

So, it's three pairs, standing on opposite sides.

"Li Wei, give it your all. If you lose, don't blame me," Tang Jun warned in advance, his mind focused on the techniques Mo Siyu just taught him.

Hearing this, Li Wei choked on his saliva and cautioned, "I'm coming then. If it hurts, no crying allowed."

Tang Jun made the first move.

Just as Li Wei saw an opportunity to throw Tang Jun over his shoulder—a task he thought would be a piece of cake—he was caught off guard when Tang Jun grabbed his arm, flipped himself over using the momentum, and gave Li Wei an over-the-shoulder throw instead.

With a 'thump' on the ground, Li Wei was smashed with a throbbing pain. He looked at Tang Jun in bafflement, as if he'd seen a ghost, murmuring, "Impossible!"

"Li Wei, Xiao Jun learned it from Zhu Yuanchao," Mo Siyu 'kindly' reminded.

Li Wei: ...

Brother Mo, that's not the way to play a man!

When Zhu Yuanchao left Jing City, they had just gotten acquainted. Zhu Yuanchao was very skilled, and since Tang Jun learned from him, his physical fitness must be much stronger than that of an average boy!

"Hahaha!" Zhao Xiangqian laughed heartily.

"I really did it." After throwing Li Wei over his shoulder, Tang Jun stood still, happily looking at Mo Siyu, never stopping his waves of excitement.

"Uncle Mo, I really did it." Tang Jun jumped up excitedly.

Mo Siyu's lips curved slightly as he said, "Time to change how you address me."

"Brother Mo, thank you," Tang Jun excitedly said, pulling Li Wei along, "Let's do it once more."

"Let's do it." Li Wei gritted his teeth, got up from the ground, sure that it was only because he had been careless that Tang Jun had succeeded.
