Young Again

Chapter 30 Find a running buddy
Shen Youyou went back.

And Chen Wang was also preparing to turn around and run back home.

During this night run, I ate a starch sausage with ketchup.

And, got a QQ number.

Shen Youyou's online name is Firefly, and her profile picture is the scene in Firefly Forest where the male protagonist Yin kisses the female protagonist's mask...

Still a little second dimension.

Putting the phone in his pocket, Chen Wang ran back the same way he came.

However, because he had to send the little girl back to the factory, he had to take a detour of several hundred meters and ran almost half a kilometer more.

Forget it, let’s just consider it as a way to atone for the sin of that starchy sausage.

And for some reason, my steps became faster and faster, and I didn't seem to feel tired at all.

All the way home.

By this time, it was already past eleven o'clock.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Chen Wang realized that he had forgotten to bring his keys.

Usually, Yurong would be asleep at this time. She had to work overtime at the company tomorrow, so Chen Wang didn't have the heart to wake her up.

How about giving Li Xintong a call?

She should be asleep too, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Wang raised his hand and experimentally knocked on the door a few times with his knuckles.

Since there is no one...

Just as Chen Wang was thinking this, the door opened with a click and then pushed outward.

Standing in front of him was Li Xintong, with her long hair down, wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and white spotted cotton pajamas, looking relaxed and demure.

The moment he saw her, Chen Wang was stunned for a moment.

This was the first time he saw her without a ponytail...

That’s right, why tie your hair before sleeping?

It just feels a little strange. A cold person looks gentler, even though his expression is still so arrogant.

"Aren't you asleep?"

Chen Wang walked in, leaned against the shoe rack, took off his shoes, and asked.

"Reading in the living room."

As Li Xintong spoke, she put away the copy of Reader on the coffee table and prepared to go back to her room.

There was only a dim light on in the living room, which made it very tiring to read in this light, so she must be waiting for me.

It seems that you still feel like a guest living under someone else's roof.

"I forgot to bring my keys when I went out." Chen Wang explained, "Remind me to bring them next time we go running."

Realizing that Chen Wang felt that he had caused her trouble, Li Xintong shook her head calmly and said, "It's okay, I sleep late too."

"Okay, then go to bed."

Chen Wang nodded slightly, then prepared to go back to his room to get his clothes and then go to the bathroom to take a shower.

At this moment, Li Xintong, who was standing at the door, looked at Chen Wang and asked curiously, "Did something good happen? Why do you look so happy?"

Happy?
Does it show on your face?

Chen Wang deliberately restrained his expression, and then said nonchalantly: "Things like self-discipline are something to be happy about."

"Really?" Li Xintong didn't quite understand. After all, she wasn't that fond of sports.

"Of course, it's great to see the weight go off every morning."

"Is that so..." Li Xintong nodded, and then said as casually as possible, "I feel like running away now."

"Then come together."

Hearing this, Chen Wang became quite proactive and invited enthusiastically.

Running is definitely a lonely thing. If you can have a running buddy, even if you don’t say anything, just running with you, it can help alleviate the loneliness.

But what I worry about is that my fellow runners are lazy and unskilled, and they want to go back after running for a while, or they only stick to it for two days and then give up.

But Li Xintong doesn't look like a lazy dog...

"it is good."

In response to his invitation, Li Xintong nodded.

Then, he returned to his bedroom.

Chen Wang didn't waste any time. He quickly took his clothes, went to the bathroom and took a warm shower.

This point requires a little scientific popularization. It is easy to catch a cold if you take a cold shower after exercising, but it also has certain benefits. It can enhance immunity and speed up blood circulation. However, it is easy to catch a cold, so there is no need to do it to this extent.

Hot baths should be avoided as much as possible, as they can cause blood vessels to dilate and insufficient blood supply to the head.

So a warm water bath is the most suitable.

In his previous life, Chen Wang also bought expensive private lessons. Although he stopped going after just a few weeks, he still had some basic skills.

So his goal is definitely not just to lose weight.

After taking a shower and wiping his whole body, Chen Wang stood naked in front of the mirror. Looking at his slightly extra fat and loose arms, he decided to proceed to the second stage simultaneously.

"The stuff should arrive tomorrow."

.........

Because he ran late the day before and the next day was Saturday, Chen Wang turned off the alarm clock and prepared to sleep until he woke up naturally.

However, in the morning, the ringing of the cell phone still woke him up.

From contact 'Lee'.

Chen Wang, yawning and in a daze, answered the phone: "Hello?"

Li Xintong on the other side said: "I was on my way back, and my aunt asked me to pick up a package at the express station. If you have anything to pick up, I'll take it with you."

"Oh, I have two..." Chen Wang agreed casually, but quickly denied it: "Forget it, I'll take it myself."

"Yes, right?" Li Xintong asked.

"Yes, I have, but I'll take it myself..."

"I've already gone to the courier station. You don't have to ask me. I'll bring it back to you." Li Xintong didn't mind the trouble and made the decision in a very forceful manner.

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

"..." Chen Wang really wanted her to not be so polite, but it was obvious that she wanted to prove her own value to this family.

But she really should have listened to what Chen Wang had to say.

Never mind, wish her good luck.

Since he had been woken up, Chen Wang did not go back to sleep. After getting up, getting dressed, going to the toilet, and washing up, he sat in the living room and started to eat his breakfast.

Corn, eggs, soy milk, and nuts that I asked my mother to bring.

This is a great breakfast for fitness enthusiasts.

But there are healthier ones.

Boiled chicken breast.

He had heard from his coach before that some brothers squeezed chicken breast into juice in order to practice better, pinched their noses and poured it into their stomachs, and ate this stuff for three meals a day.

In this regard, Chen Wang could only say that there was no need, really no need.

Our ancestors invented so many delicious foods. It would be fine if you don’t eat them, but you also send them and waste them. You will really be expelled from your citizenship!

Just as Chen Wang was leisurely eating and playing with his phone, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

No, it should be the sound of banging on the door.

It feels like I'm not hitting with my hands, but with my body.

Is Li Xintong back?
As the force of knocking on the door was getting weaker and weaker, and he felt that he was about to run out of energy, Chen Wang quickly stood up and went to open the door for her.

Then, hot sweat ran down her red cheeks. Li Xintong, who was holding a large courier box with two courier packages stacked on top, was bent over. She had just knocked on the door with a steel leaning stick. She looked at Chen desperately and breathlessly, and shouted in a boyish voice: "What did you buy?!"

“…Sorry, sorry, give it to me.”

Chen Wang quickly took all the express deliveries from the other party.

Li Xintong hurried back home, picked up a cup of water, rushed to the water dispenser, put one hand on her waist, raised her head, and drank the water in gulps.

Like a desert camel, about to be cruelly dried by the wind.

Turning back, looking at Chen Wang who was weighing two dumbbells, Li Xintong collapsed on the spot: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that it was dumbbells!"

"You hung up the phone without giving me a chance to speak." Chen Wang said.

"I definitely asked what it was." Li Xintong was anxious.

"You didn't ask."

"I asked."

"Then let's listen to the phone recording."

"Then you...then why don't you take the initiative to speak up?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xintong was frightened and even stuttered. But after reacting, she asked directly: "No, it's just a normal phone call, why are you recording it?"

“So I didn’t record it.”

"..."

Looking at Chen Wang, clenching his fists tightly, Li Xintong felt that sooner or later he would have to fight with this guy.

"But thank you anyway. Li Xintong is still a good comrade."

After Chen Wang thanked him, he finished the rest of his breakfast in a few bites, drank the soy milk in one gulp, and then returned to his room with the dumbbells and yoga mat.

After taking a short rest, Li Xintong was not so angry anymore.

This time it's my own fault.

When she picked it up, she felt it was heavy, but she thought she had enough strength to lift it. However, halfway through, her strength began to fade quickly. She was between her home and the express delivery station, and she had no way to retreat, so she had to bite the bullet and continue walking.

In fact, this is how people die from exhaustion.

"Really? Why buy dumbbells?"

After complaining, Li Xintong suddenly became a little curious.

What does he do all day long?
So she went to Chen Wang's door and knocked.

Then, I heard the other person's slightly panting voice: "What's the matter?"

"Something happened."

Li Xintong raised her voice.

"Then... let's talk about it." Chen Wang said intermittently.

"I can't hear clearly." Li Xintong raised her voice again.

"Then come in." Chen Wang said impatiently.

Just like that, Li Xintong pushed open the door.

However, the half-naked man doing sit-ups in front of her was too visually impactful, so Li Xintong quickly stretched out her hands to cover her face.

"You speak and I listen."

Chen Wang, however, was very frank. He lay on the yoga mat, bent his knees, and used his abdominal strength to reach his knees with his outstretched hands. He had no time to pay attention to the woman in front of him.

Aren’t they just naked men? Aren’t there many of them in the swimming pool?

Make a fuss.

After a moment, Li Xintong slowly put down her hand and looked over little by little, staring at the man with a healthy fair complexion, no acne scars, delicate skin, and just a little chubby. She couldn't help but smile up at the corners of her mouth.

Finally, he muttered, trying not to laugh, "Little Fatty."
