No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 128 That's very filial piety.

The yoga classes at Red Cat Gym are actually separate from the fitness area.

In a small county like Jiangzhou, this kind of situation is actually quite common.

Due to space limitations in the old building, [Red Cat Gym] and [Red Cat Yoga] were actually separated into two back-to-back rooms.

Guan Ren always handled his business at the gym's front desk.

However, when going from the first floor to the second floor of the mall, there is one elevator leading to the gym and another elevator leading to the yoga studio.

The two venues are separated by a wall, but they are not connected.

So, there are some advantages to it.

For example, in a typical gym, the yoga area and the fitness area are separated by a glass wall, allowing those working out to admire the graceful figures of women practicing yoga through the glass.

Judging from the atmosphere at the Red Cat Gym that Guan Ren observed, the few middle-aged and elderly people there seemed to have long lost interest in such activities, focusing instead on "health and wellness exercises," and chatting about things like fishing and playing cards during breaks...

But in any case, having separate yoga and fitness areas at least allows his sister Qiaoyun to be free from male gazes when she does yoga.

Of course, there are advantages as well as disadvantages.

The downside of the separate spaces is that Guan Ren, being almost the only young man in the fitness area, couldn't appreciate Qiao Yun's yoga posture.

"Ugh…"

Guan Ren shook his head in regret.

So much so that he even slightly regretted getting Guan Qiaoyun the card.

Let her stay home and do it alone for herself, wouldn't that be better...?

"Wait, no, no..."

Coming back to his senses, Guan Ren was somewhat amused and exasperated.

Whether Guan Qiaoyun does yoga for body management or health reasons, it certainly shouldn't be to satisfy her own selfish desires.

Therefore, the idea that came to mind was something Guan Ren belatedly realized and jokingly admitted was too "low-minded".

---------

After finishing his tutoring class in the morning, Guan Ren took Guan Qiaoyun to the Red Cat Gym in the afternoon.

Since the card had already been issued, Guan Ren took her directly to the yoga studio by elevator.

"Hello, may I ask...?"

As soon as they entered the front desk, the receptionist glanced at Guan Ren next to Guan Qiaoyun and asked a question.

It's clear that few men frequent this place.

But after Guan Ren explained his purpose—"This is her first time here, I brought her here to see the place"—the receptionist understood.

Is the teacher inside?

"Yes, I'm here."

"Okay, Sister Qiaoyun, over here."

"Um…"

……

As the saying goes: Everyone is talked about behind their back, and everyone talks about others behind their back.

As Guan Rengang led Guan Qiaoyun deeper into the area, the two young ladies at the front desk began to whisper amongst themselves.

"Hey, Li, another one sent over for yoga practice?"

"Yeah, but Xiao He, did you see that just now? This boss looks really young."

"He's very young, probably only in his early twenties...tsk, it seems like there are more and more bosses bringing women to yoga these days..."

Xiao He sighed, and Xiao Li agreed.

They've been here long enough; most of these women who practice yoga are wealthy women whose husbands are very rich.

The remaining few, although they don't have wealthy husbands of their own, can't help but hook up with other people's wealthy husbands.

The two chattered on and on, inevitably starting to guess which type Guan Qiaoyun was.

Finally, considering Guan Qiaoyun's mature feminine charm, a third possibility was reached:
"Most likely, the woman was already rich! That's why the young man ended up hooking up with her!"

"Hmm...that makes sense!"

……

"?"

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the large yoga studio, Guan Qiaoyun's ear suddenly itched. She touched it and couldn't help but complain softly:
"I feel like someone's talking about me behind my back..."

"is it?"

Guan Ren chuckled and tugged at his sleeve:
"It must be those two girls at the front desk... Ouch—!?"

Guan Ren bared his teeth before he could finish speaking, and Guan Qiaoyun tapped him on the forehead with her small fist:
"What do you mean by 'little girl'? You're so glib all the time... It's one thing that you don't call me 'Mom' normally, but now you're calling me 'little girl'? I bet if you keep this up, one day you'll be calling me 'little girl' too!"

"No, no, no, that's impossible."

Guan Ren repeatedly grabbed Guan Qiaoyun's wrist again, shaking his head and chuckling awkwardly:
“They are indeed little girls, but you are different, Mom. You are a big girl.”

"You little brat! I..."

Guan Qiaoyun glared at him with her phoenix eyes, both angry and amused by Guan Ren's nonsense. She broke free and started hitting his shoulder repeatedly.

Guan Ren feigned pain, but Guan Qiaoyun wasn't buying it at all.

But once the other women in the classroom started to notice, Guan Qiaoyun felt too embarrassed to make a move.

After all, putting everything else aside, the mere fact that a man has appeared at the door is enough to attract attention, even though it's not unheard of.

"Huh? Is this the new guy?"

However, soon after, due to the commotion at the door, the yoga teacher, who had been looking at her phone at the back of the classroom, also came over. "Hello, teacher..."

"Hey, go check in over there. Did you get your wristband?"

"I took it."

"Okay, there are towels over there. You can use them if you didn't bring your own. And over there are lockers..."

……

The yoga teacher's surname was Fang, and just as Guan Ren had told Guan Qiaoyun before, she was around 40 years old.

But because he does yoga, he looks like he's only in his thirties.

Although she's not quite as good as Guan Qiaoyun, she's much better than many other women in their forties.

She enthusiastically began explaining some things to Guan Qiaoyun.

Guan Qiaoyun's response and attitude were quite poised and graceful.

To be honest, women with class are just different.

Even though it was Guan Qiaoyun's first time in such a "high-class" place and she was a little timid, with her son standing by her side, her behavior immediately changed and she no longer appeared as embarrassed or flustered as she had imagined.

"Take off your shoes and come in. There are two new students who joined a couple of days ago. I'll start by explaining the basics to you both."

The keys to both the shoe cabinet and the locker were the same ones on the wristband. Teacher Fang pointed to the shoe cabinet by the door and then walked away for the time being.

"Guan Ren..."

Guan Qiaoyun turned around, her pretty face slightly flushed, and asked softly:

"She said she wants to take off her shoes, what... what should I do?"

"Just take it off."

Guan Renyi laughed, "Of course you have to take off your shoes when doing yoga!"

"What's wrong? You take your clothes off at home too, don't you?"

"But...but this is a public place..."

"..."

It turns out that Guan Qiaoyun was actually a little shy about taking off her shoes in public...

Guan Ren recalled the day he bought her new high heels on her birthday.

Only then did I realize the reason behind her slight awkwardness at the time.

However, Guan Qiaoyun's embarrassment at not wanting to take off her shoes in public, compared to her actually exquisite and beautiful feet, suddenly made Guan Ren feel that she was even more adorable.

"Alright, practicing yoga is the important thing. Everyone does it, so what are you worried about?"

Guan Ren, feigning mystery, leaned close to Guan Qiaoyun's ear and whispered:

"Besides, Sister Qiaoyun, your feet are so beautiful, people will be jealous if you show them off, so what's there to be embarrassed about?"

"Ah."

Guan Qiaoyun glared at him reproachfully upon hearing this:
"If I say you're oily, then you're oily. What's the difference between pretty and ugly feet?"

"Of course we can divide it!"

When it comes to matters of principle, Guan Renke is adamant about not backing down, and said earnestly:

"Sister Qiaoyun, other women's feet are ugly and smelly, but yours are different. Not only are they beautiful, but they also smell nice."

"Go away! You're rambling on again, I can't be bothered to talk to you..."

Guan Qiaoyun listened to his nonsense for a while, suppressed her laughter and pretended to push him a couple of times. She relaxed a lot, so she quickly took off her shoes and went to the changing room to change into yoga pants and a tank top.

When they came out, they immediately attracted several envious glances.

Several outgoing women, including some who appeared to be younger than Guan Qiaoyun, immediately surrounded Guan Qiaoyun, calling her "little sister" on the spot.

"Wow, what an amazing figure!"

"Little sister, what do you do for a living?"

"Are you a dance teacher?"

"Young lady, how old are you this year?"

……

Guan Qiaoyun had never encountered such a solicitous crowd in public before. While responding, she subconsciously cast a pleading glance toward the door.

In reality, Guan Ren couldn't possibly go into the classroom to help her.

Moreover, when Guan Qiaoyun looked over, Guan Ren, who had witnessed the situation, had already left with a smile.

Guan Qiaoyun was left alone to continue dealing with the increasingly heated questioning from a particularly enthusiastic middle-aged woman:
"Hey, to be honest, sis, I've seen a few men who come to class, but the one in your family is the youngest and most handsome!"

"Huh? No, no, you've misunderstood. He's not my husband, he's..."

Guan Qiaoyun quickly offered an explanation, which surprised many people.

After all, most people would assume that it was sent by her husband.

"That's very filial."

The enthusiastic middle-aged woman was still being nosy:

"As the saying goes, your children in this life are your lovers from the past life. The more filial they are in this life, the more they loved you in the past life, hahaha."

Faced with this carefree woman, Guan Qiaoyun was truly speechless for a moment.

Fortunately, Ms. Fang clapped her hands soon after and the class started.
