Hong Kong 1980: Me and the Queen Swapped Clothes

"At five o'clock in the morning, Yuanlou and I get up to warm up first. After running, we practice boxing. We live together and practice together every morning, then practice the basics. These are habits we've had since we were little, for more than ten years."

Yuen Biao wanted to mend his relationship with Qin Weiming, so when Qin Weiming recently sought his advice, he became very open and honest. To Qin Weiming's surprise, he had expected that Yuen Biao and Cheng Long would become a little lax after achieving some fame, but the two of them did not change at all. They still got up early to practice their skills without fail, rain or shine, and persisted regardless of the weather.

"You guys are amazing! It must be so hard for you," Qin Weiming exclaimed sincerely.

Yuen Biao chuckled, revealing his signature canine teeth, and said with a grin, "Forget it, Yuen Lou and I are living much better now than we were under Master's tutelage. At least we can eat whatever we want every day, which is pretty good."

"Okay, did you guys not even have enough to eat when you were kids practicing kung fu?" Qin Weiming started practicing kung fu, but it was really just pretending to strike a pose. However, thanks to his previous life where he had practiced boxing stances, he managed to strike a pose that looked quite convincing, and he even had the energy to chat with Yuan Biao.

While correcting Qin Weiming's movements, Yuen Biao praised him, "I didn't realize you could strike such a respectable pose. But why haven't I heard you mention before that you've practiced kung fu?"

"Well, some of my neighbors used to be boxers. I learned some self-defense skills from them when I was young, since I had to work in nightclubs to support my mom and brother. Then, after a few years, my master moved away, so I didn't learn everything and have forgotten a lot of things." Qin Weiming maintained a calm tone, but Yuen Biao had already had someone investigate his childhood experiences and knew they were true, so he didn't suspect anything when Qin Weiming said it.

Hong Kong is a place full of talented and extraordinary people, so it's not uncommon to find people teaching martial arts in the countryside.

"Just stand there in that pose for half an hour first," Yuen Biao waved his hand and went to spar with Jackie Chan on the other side.

Cheng Long looked surprised: "Aren't you being too harsh on Ah Mei? She's still a girl, after all. Besides, didn't you just offend her last time?"

"It's because I offended her that I taught her real skills. And Ah Mei is really amazing, she can endure hardship. She started without saying a word, look." Yuen Biao winked at Jackie Chan, signaling him to turn around and take a look.

Cheng Long turned around and saw that the other person was really in a fighting stance, silently persisting without saying a word. He had gone through the same thing back then, but at that time he was always complaining. So now, seeing Qin Weiming's stubborn and silent persistence, he was somewhat appreciative: "She really is a tough nut to crack. Let's practice."

The two began their early morning practice session, which lasted for half an hour until they were both visibly covered in sweat. Then they stopped, panting, and said, "Amei, you can rest now."

"Phew, my God, I feel like my whole body is about to fall apart." As soon as Qin Weiming relaxed, he felt like his whole body was about to collapse. He immediately tried to catch his last breath to avoid sitting on the ground and getting injured.

Only then did Qin Weiming look at the two of them and ask them how long they needed to continue this kind of practice.

"If you want, it's best to stick to it for life. Even if you don't act, it's still very good for your health. In the long run, it can also improve your energy and stamina. No matter what kind of work you do, it will be very beneficial to you." Yuen Biao spoke sincerely, and he really thought so. But Qin Weiming fell silent. If he really had to stick to it like this, he felt that he would collapse after a few days.

Fortunately, Yuen Biao didn't really intend to force Qin Weiming: "Of course, this is something you can consider yourself. If you feel it's unnecessary, then I have no objection. In any case, this is a matter of your own choice."

"Yes, I'll think about it carefully, but I'm just too tired right now. I feel like I'm losing half my life just going to class every day, not to mention work. If I add martial arts training on top of that, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it in a short time and my body will collapse instead." Qin Weiming also knew how fragile Fang Yanmei's body was. If she continued in this state, Fang Yanmei would probably get sick first.

Yuen Biao's smile faltered. He hadn't expected this. If that were the case, he had meant well but had done something wrong.

He immediately looked at his senior brother Cheng Long with pleading eyes. Cheng Long scratched his head and said, "Ah Mei, just do what your body can handle. Don't listen to Yuen Biao. He's putting himself in your shoes. I know your body can't handle such intense training right from the start. You should prioritize your own schedule and improve slowly. If you're not interested, you don't need to train anymore after filming."

"Brother Long, you're so kind. I think it's the right thing to do. It's not that I don't want to practice, it's just that forcing my body like this can easily make me sick." Qin Weiming nodded. He thought the same thing. He had to let his body adapt first, or rather, Fang Yanmei's body.

"It's good that you think that way. We won't force you. After all, it's your business. Okay, while your body is still warm, hurry up and do a few sets of stretches. Don't let your muscles cool down." Cheng Long reminded him with a cold face. Whenever this happened, he transformed into the strictest personal trainer, and his attention to detail in this area was second to none.

Qin Weiming sighed, resigning himself to his fate. Even in his absence, he planned to remind Fang Yanmei to take good care of her health.

Regardless, Cheng Long and his team were right about one thing, and Qin Weiming agreed: only with a healthy body can one perform better in life and work. If one has a body that lacks vitality, one is prone to exhaustion at any time.

"I wonder how Fang Yanmei and Xiaoxian are getting along at my place. Xiaoxian has a bad temper. What should I do if he gets into a fight with Fang Yanmei when I get back?" Qin Weiming dragged his tired body home, thinking about this.

Although it was only a short seven-day exchange, Qin Weiming was well aware that he couldn't just do whatever he wanted. He was already grateful if Fang Yanmei was willing to cooperate with him to boost Wang Zuxian's favorability.

If Fang Yanmei is unwilling to cooperate, there's nothing that can be done but wait until I go back and make it up to Wang Zuxian.
