Chapter 286

At night, Lu Lixing received a WeChat message from Chen Shuyi while he was changing into his sports attire to exercise at the hotel’s gym.

For someone who dedicated one hour to work out every day, three days of doing nothing made Lu Lixing feel restless and feel like his bones were getting rusty.Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

He took out his phone and glanced at it. There was only one line——”Are we still bros?”

Lu Lixing was long used to Chen Shuyi’s antics. He casually replied back, “What do you want?”

The chat box indicated that the other party was typing.

Lu Lixing knocked on the bathroom door. Ji Qingqing opened the door and peeked out. “What is it?”

“I’m going to work out. I’ll be back one hour later.”

Ji Qingqing opened the door and noticed Lu Lixing’s attire. Her eyes sparkled. “Bring me with you!”

Lu Lixing was bending down to change into his sports shoes. Hearing that, he glanced at her briefly. “Didn’t you finish bathing just now? Go get some rest.”

“What’s wrong with bathing? My pores were cleared up by it, so that during exercise, I’ll be able to sweat more easily. Besides, didn’t you say you would help me train to get toned abdominal muscles and abs?” Saying that she patted her soft little tummy.

——“Death warning! Please help your wife, Ji Qingqing, complete her abdominal muscle training mission. Work out for one hour every day and you will gain ten life points.”

Lu Lixing glanced at her and got off the treadmill. With one hand, he pulled up Ji Qingqing who was sitting on the ground, completely burnt out.

“Get up and walk around for a bit. Don’t sit down immediately. Go stretch for a while.”

“Don’t touch me. I’m exhausted. Let me sit for a short while. I’ll just sit for a bit and I’ll get up afterwards.” Ji Qingqing shook her head firmly and went back to sit down.

Lu Lixing sighed. He reached under her armpits and forcefully pulled her up from the ground.

His action caught her off guard and caused her to stand up abruptly. As her legs were weak, she stumbled back a couple of steps and almost fell. Fortunately, Lu Lixing was prepared and firmly supported her. In the end, her entire back got pressed against Lu Lixing’s body. In this hugging position, she leaned in his arms and raised her head to look at him.

“I’m so tired.”

“Since you’ve entered the gym, don’t complain about being tired. If you’re tired, then why did you come to the gym?”

His words made total sense.

Ji Qingqing strongly felt that she was torturing herself.

Lu Lixing half-dragged and half-hugged her to walk two rounds around the room. Only after sensing that her muscle soreness had gotten better and that her breathing had stabilized, then did he finally let her go.

The gym had all kinds of equipment. Ji Qingqing looked around. Most of them were equipment that she had never used before. They were unfamiliar to her and she did not know how to operate them. When she turned around, she caught sight of Lu Lixing. He had familiarly gone up to sit at the chest press machine and began pushing the press’ handles outwards effortlessly.

When he pushed outwards with his arms, his defined abs rippled through the thin layer of fabric of his shirt. His expression was focused and his breathing was regulated. Watching him work out with such ease, Ji Qingqing chose another training machine to use as well. Moments later, her hands had gripped both of the handles. Tensing her muscles, she pushed forward with her arms. But awkwardly it did not budge an inch.
