No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 127 Gu Wancheng's Worries
In this small county town in 2011, a gym was definitely considered a "high-end" thing.

It's so high-class that it's almost completely detached from the lives of ordinary high school students.

As a result, many of the members are not young people, but middle-aged people with spare money.

The purpose was simply to exercise, nothing more.

There are neither such professional protein powder warriors nor the prevailing atmosphere of promiscuous relationships.

Apart from the more professional equipment, it's generally no different from the community's public fitness area.

At least at this time, this was the atmosphere that Guan Ren felt in the only [Red Cat Gym] in Jiangzhou County.

Guan Ren had scouted out the location of this gym, the only one in the county, beforehand.

……

In terms of physical health, Guan Ren initially planned to get a gym membership once he had the money.

After all, there's a limit to the amount of exercise a morning run can provide, and Guan Ren's various health problems from his past life have made him fearful or rather, very wary.

Therefore, Guan Ren was not at ease if he didn't lay a solid foundation while he was young.

……

Guan Ren's previous standard for physical training was: to be able to easily lift Luo Xiaobei while also being able to do squats.

But now, for some reason, Guan Ren felt that this was still not quite enough…

His current standard is: he can easily lift two Luo Xiaobeis.

In this way, if I have two daughters in the future and they are disobedient, the mighty old father can just grab one of them with each arm, throw them on the bed, and discipline them severely. Wouldn't that be very convenient?
Of course, if you're carrying two people, doing squats is out of the question; it's unrealistic and impractical.

In short, no matter what, Guan Ren had already planned to go to the gym.

However, they were not financially well-off at the beginning.

But things are different now.

Guan Ren had a large sum of savings, so he immediately not only got a membership card for himself, but also got a yoga class card for Guan Qiaoyun, who was looking to do yoga.

……

"Guan Ren, this gym... I've never been before, how do I..."

Guan Qiaoyun touched the card as if it were a precious treasure, while expressing her doubts.

"It's okay, I'll go anyway. I'll take you with me and you'll see."

"Um…"

Guan Qiaoyun sat on the sofa, head down, and hummed in agreement. Seeing that Guan Ren was about to enter the bedroom, she quickly called him back.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

"?"

Guan Ren turned back:

"What's wrong?"

"come here."

Seeing him standing there, Guan Qiaoyun frowned and beckoned.

Guan Ren then leaned back against the sofa:
"Go ahead."

"Tsk!"

Guan Qiaoyun frowned even more deeply, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she grabbed her silly son's wrist and pulled him to sit down next to her.

"What's all the mystery about?"

The scent of sweat emanating from Guan Qiaoyun, who had just finished yoga, lingered around Guan Ren's nose, leaving him somewhat amused and exasperated.
"There are no outsiders here, why can't we just say it directly?"

"Shut up, I'm asking you a question."

Nevertheless, Guan Qiaoyun still scolded him, then lowered her voice and stammered:

"Are all the yoga classes... attended by young women?"

"..."

Upon hearing this question, Guan Ren instantly understood what Guan Qiaoyun was worried about. He smiled and looked at his mother's sparkling phoenix eyes while gently taking her hand in his palm.

"Aren't you a young woman?"

"You're young my foot..."

Guan Qiaoyun thought Guan Ren was lying through his teeth, glared at him, pursed her rosy lips, and then stuffed the membership card in her hand into his hand:

"Why don't you... just cancel it? My mom's age, she can just cook something simple at home, she doesn't need to..."

"It cannot be refunded."

Guan Ren decisively dispelled Guan Qiaoyun's thoughts of retreat:

"And Sister Qiaoyun, I actually checked out the gym before, and most of the people taking yoga classes are your age, and many are even older than you."

Upon hearing this, Guan Qiaoyun's eyes lit up with a hint of hesitation:
"really?"

"Even more genuine than fruit cakes."

Guan Ren suddenly blurted out an old joke.

Hmm... come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've had anything like Tang or Okra. I'll try sometime and reminisce...

"Sister Qiaoyun, take the teacher for example, she seems to be 40 years old, but she's still teaching yoga as usual?"

Guan Ren's eyes darted around, and he changed his perspective:
"Or rather, it's because she does yoga that even though she's 40, she looks like a 20-year-old girl."

Upon hearing this, Guan Qiaoyun's heart stirred slightly. But at the same time, she gave Guan Ren a meaningful look:
"You have a good eye for people..."

"Uh, just okay."

But this is not the point.

The point is that Guan Ren did indeed dispel many of Guan Qiaoyun's doubts after he said that.

In the end, I obediently put the membership card away.

"Oh, and one more thing, what do I need to bring to class?"

"I'll ask about it tomorrow, but I definitely need towels. Also, it's better to prepare spare sports vests, underwear, etc. There are showers over there, so you can take a shower if needed."

"Towel...underwear..."

At this moment, Guan Qiaoyun was concentrating on taking notes.

She used to work in the women's clothing and lingerie department of New Century Department Store, so she had no shortage of these things.

Take yoga pants, for example. It was only because of her profession that she had easier access to them than other women at the time.

------------

The next day, Saturday morning.

Guan Ren still got up for his morning run.

But during halftime, he informed Gu Wancheng:
"Teacher Gu, this may be my last morning run."

"... "

"Hey, I've been running together for so long, I kind of miss it."

"..."

Guan Ren spoke casually, but when he glanced at Gu Wancheng out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to notice that she looked a little dazed.

But when you turn your head, all you see is Gu Wancheng's slightly aloof and indifferent face.

Guan Ren didn't pay much attention to it.

After that, I chatted with her as usual.

However, as they talked, Guan Ren noticed that Gu Wancheng was not responding casually as before, but remained silent throughout.

Guan Ren didn't know what was going on, but he could guess that Gu Wancheng also had something on her mind.

Anyway, chatting with someone like that is a bit of a waste of time.

So he quickly got up and prepared to continue running.

But at this moment, Gu Wancheng finally spoke up:

"Guan Ren, can't you be a little more persistent in what you do?"

"?"

Guan Ren paused, looking at Gu Wancheng who seemed to be in a bad mood, and scratched his head tentatively:
"Teacher Gu, you mean..."

"It doesn't matter what it refers to, it's all the same."

Gu Wancheng was talking to Guan Ren, but her gaze was fixed straight ahead, not looking at him:
"I am now teaching you as your teacher. Whether it's studying or exercising, perseverance is very important, Guan Ren, do you understand?"

"clear."

Guan Ren nodded vigorously, his attitude so upright that Gu Wancheng's eyebrows furrowed.
"Do you really understand, or are you just pretending?"

"I understand perfectly!"

Guan Ren had already figured out what Gu Wancheng was talking about, and explained with a bit of a laugh:

"Teacher Gu, it's not that I've stopped exercising, it's just that I've found a method that suits me better. The old morning runs aren't all that great anymore; if I kept doing them, I felt like the only improvement I'd see would be making my legs thicker, so..."

"What did you say?"

Gu Wancheng, looking stunned, interrupted Guan Ren:

"Legs? What happened to your legs?"

"Running too much will make your calves thicker, you'll get muscular legs, that's common sense."

Guan Ren didn't care about that.

But one teacher couldn't afford to be indifferent.

You should know that the reason Gu Wancheng started going for a morning run was because she felt she had gained weight.

For her, what might be more terrifying than gaining weight is gaining muscle.

Now that she suddenly heard that running would make her calves thicker, Gu Wancheng couldn't stay calm. So she immediately had the idea of ​​quitting morning runs.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Guan Ren's withdrawal.

Not at all…

"correct."

At this point, Guan Ren seemed to remember something and pulled a coupon from his pants:

"Teacher Gu, I have a discount coupon for a yoga class at the gym. Anyway, nobody wants it, so here you go."

"..."

Yoga…

Upon hearing this word, Gu Wancheng's heart stirred slightly.
