    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1737


    Bearing his shoulder pain, Jory continued watching thepetition with Nancy. The following matches


    were full of surprises and excitement. It was even more intense than Jory’s match.


    Even Jory himself had to admit that every contestant was very skilled. Before long, it was almost


    Nancy’s turn. That was the first time she was so nervous in apetition.


    Her palms were sweating. Jory noticed Nancy became quieter as it was nearing her turn. Thinking that


    she must be nervous, he wrapped an arm around her in a bid to calm her down.


    “Don’t be afraid. I’m here for you!” His domineering promation was a contrast from his child-like


    appearance. Nancy broke free from his arm and got back to bickering with Jory as usual. “Me? Afraid?


    Hah! I’m just worried mypetition would drag on, causing the crowd to miss their lunch and tea


    time.”


    Jory raised his hands in surrender. “Fine, fine, fine. Whatever you say. I wish you break a new record.”


    Nancy patted his head earnestly. “Hmm. That’s right. You’re pretty smart.”


    Nancy’s opponent was a fierce-looking woman. One look at her, and Nancy knew that the woman was


    not one to be messed with.


    That woman seemed to be taking thepetition more seriously aspared to Nancy. She didn’t let


    out a single smile from the moment she entered the sparring arena until they bowed to each other.


    Nancy was there because Taekwondo was her interest—unlike the others, who were eager to get the


    provincial certificate of qualification for them to advance to a higher level ofpetition.


    Seconds before the match was about to begin, millions of thoughts were still running through Nancy’s


    head. Why the hell am I having all these thoughts when thepetition is about to begin! Perhaps, it’s


    my way of relieving my anxiety.


    Instinctively, she looked towards the direction of the audience seat, where Jory was sitting. He


    immediately reassured her with an OK hand gesture when he saw Nancy looking at him.


    Jory can do it. So why can’t I do the same?


    Meanwhile, the girl who sat next to Nancy just now returned to her seat with a ss in her hand.


    Surprised by Jory’s presence, it took the girl some time before she could react. “Excuse me? Were you


    the senior from the first match?”


    As Jory was focused on Nancy, he didn’t even realize that the girl was talking to him. Therefore, he did


    not give her any response.


    The girl didn’t feel awkward at all and took her seat. Jory only noticed there was someone beside him


    when she sat down. The girl murmured to herself, “You both indeed make a good pair. She was looking


    at you in the same way just now.”

    Her words snapped Jory back to his senses. Finally, he came to a realization that someone was talking


    to him. He responded numbly, “Are you talking to me?”


    The girl burst outughing. “Do you see anyone else around?”


    Jory then looked around and realized their surrounding was almost empty. Most of the contestants had


    already gone back with their group of friends and rtives after thepetition. Therefore, the number


    of audiences was reducing rapidly.


    Those who remained were either waiting for their turn, or they were Taekwondo enthusiasts.


    “I don’t remember seeing you just now. Aren’t you one of the contestants today?” Jory folded his hands


    on his thigh. “Are you a Taekwondo enthusiast?”
