My Wife is My Life!
chapter-286-30041322

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.

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 paused for a moment. After gazing at her tummy for a moment, he looked into her eyes doubtfully. “Are you sure you have the determination to persevere to the end?”

“Of course!” Ji Qingqing boasted confidently and earnestly. “Don’t worry, I will never be a burden to you. As long as I can tone those abdominal muscles, I’ll gladly do anything that you ask!”

Lu Lixing’s brow tightened. “If you give up midway…”

“Of course not! Unless you don’t intend to train me.”

She said it with such conviction that Lu Lixing believed her. “Alright, remember what you promised. Go change your clothes.”

After getting Lu Lixing’s approval, Ji Qingqing quickly went inside the room, shooting a brief “Wait for me!” behind her back.

Lu Lixing waited for her at the door.

The hotel had two gyms. One was open to all guests of the hotel, while the other was only for the VIP guests of the hotel. The VIP gym was empty and the program crew had set up four cameras around the room.

Ji Qingqing crossed her hands while she massaged her wrist. Her feet were on tiptoes as she rotated her ankle. She rotated her neck periodically as well. By the time she finished her warm-up, Lu Lixing had already stepped onto the treadmill over at his side.

Ji Qingqing stepped onto the treadmill that was next to Li Lixing’s. She started the slow walk mode to allow her knees to adjust. Ten minutes later, she began jogging slowly.

Even though she didn’t go to the gym much, Ji Qingqing was still able to handle simple exercises such as running. After 30 minutes of running, she stopped and glanced over at Lu Lixing. He appeared unaffected and his breathing was normal and regular.

He was completely different from her. After she stepped down from the treadmill, she was drenched in sweat and had to tiredly sit at the side, panting heavily.

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.
