117: Chapter 116 Amy's Aerobic Plan

Chu Yi didn't think much about it, clapping her hands excitedly, "Let's have a group dinner tonight! We haven't hung out in so long!"

Lin Qiaoyou raised her hand, "Um, I won't go." Her voice was very soft, and she lowered her head after speaking.

Chu Xiang said, "It's fine, let's just eat at home, don't go out."

Su Bai immediately said, "Alright, I'll order takeout."

Chu Yi's eyes lit up, "Yay! The rich guy is treating us to a big meal!"

Su Bai smiled, took out his phone, and opened the delivery app.

The delivery arrived quickly.

The five of them sat around the dining table, with a table full of steaming hot dishes.

Chu Yi talked while eating, recounting embarrassing stories from her hometown during the Chinese New Year.

Lin Qiaoyou sat in the corner, eating quietly. Occasionally, she would steal a glance at Su Bai, then quickly look away.

While eating, Chu Yi suddenly remembered something, ran over, dug out the local specialties she brought from her hometown from her suitcase, and distributed them to everyone.

"Try this! My mom dried these sausages herself, they're delicious!"

She broke off a piece of sausage and stuffed it into Su Bai's mouth. Su Bai chewed and nodded.

"It's good, right?" Chu Yi's eyes were sparkling.

"Mm."

Chu Yi happily placed the remaining sausages on the table, telling everyone to help themselves.

After the meal.

Chu Yi curled up on the sofa with her legs crossed, flipping through channels with the remote control.

Su Bai sprawled on the other side, scrolling through his phone.

The TV was on, playing a variety show, full of laughter, but no one was watching.

Chu Xiang was washing dishes in the kitchen, and the faucet was running loudly.

Lin Qiaoyou had returned to her room, and the door was closed.

Song Qian was on the balcony making a phone call; her voice was very soft, and it was impossible to hear what she was saying through the glass door.

Chu Yi climbed off the sofa, went to the kitchen to pour two glasses of cola, walked back, and sat down next to Su Bai.

She handed one glass of cola to Su Bai and held the other herself, taking a sip.

"Xiao Bai..." Her voice was very low, as if she was afraid of being overheard.

Su Bai moved his gaze away from his phone screen and looked at her.

Chu Yi leaned in a bit closer, close enough for him to smell the fragrance of her hair.

"Hey, did you miss me?"

Her face was flushed, her eyes were sparkling, and her lips were glistening with cola.

Su Bai said without changing his expression, "Of course, Sister Chu Yi is so great, how could I not miss you?"

Chu Yi laughed, her eyes curving into crescents.

She kicked off her shoes, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and moved even closer to him,

"I knew you would definitely miss me." She took a sip of cola and said earnestly,

"Because I missed you too."

Su Bai raised an eyebrow, then leaned back slightly, looking her up and down,

"Sister Chu Yi, why do I feel like you've gained a little weight after going home for the New Year?"

Chu Yi's face stiffened.

She looked down at herself, then looked up at Su Bai, the sparkle in her eyes turning into a fierce glare.

She lunged at him, claws out—

"Su Bai! I'm going to fight you!"

She lunged too hard, her foot tripped on the sofa, and she fell forward, landing on Su Bai's lap.

Her face was buried in Su Bai, and she was sprawled on him in an extremely ambiguous position.

The living room was silent for a moment.

Su Bai looked down at the sprawled Chu Yi, and Chu Yi looked up at Su Bai; their faces were very close, close enough to see the curve of each other's eyelashes.

On the balcony, Song Qian had just finished her call and pushed the door open to walk in.

She saw the two people on the sofa and paused.

Then her gaze quickly swept across the room. Chu Xiang was still washing dishes in the kitchen, the faucet running loudly, unable to see this side.

Lin Qiaoyou's room door was closed. No one noticed what was happening on the sofa.

Song Qian walked over, stood beside the sofa, and blocked the view from the kitchen.

Only then did Chu Yi realize that her position with Su Bai was a bit wrong.

Her face flushed instantly, and she scrambled up from Su Bai's lap, her hair messy, her heart pounding with a red face.

She stood there, at a loss for what to do, not knowing what to say.

"Um... I... goodnight!" She turned and ran back to her room, closing the door with a "bang."

Chu Xiang poked her head out of the kitchen, still holding a rag, and asked suspiciously,

"What's wrong?"

Song Qian said, "It's nothing, Chu Yi was sleepy and went to bed."

Chu Xiang said "Oh" and retreated back to the kitchen to continue washing dishes.

Su Bai sat on the sofa, watching Chu Yi's closed door, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Song Qian sat down next to him, placed the remote on the coffee table, and without looking at him, said in a very low voice,

"Master, do you want me to help you..."

Song Qian's gaze glanced towards Chu Yi's room. Su Bai glanced at her and said indifferently,

"No need."

"Sometimes, the process of hunting is more interesting than catching the prey."

Su Bai stood up and stretched,

"I'm going to work out."

He walked into his room and closed the door.

In his room, Su Bai changed into athletic shorts, went shirtless, and began his daily routine workout.

Push-ups, one hundred per set, five sets.

Squat, two hundred per set, five sets.

Crunches, one hundred per set, five sets.

Sweat dripped onto the floor, glistening under the lights.

His muscles tightened and relaxed during the exercise; he had been in Hainan for over ten days without working out, and his body was the capital for his "artillery," so he absolutely could not slack off.

The next morning, Su Bai put on his sportswear and went out for a run.

Winter in Jingzhou had not yet passed; the air was dry and cold, and the breath he exhaled condensed into white mist before him.

He ran five kilometers, worked up a light sweat, and then turned into the Gym.

The Round-faced girl at the front desk was organizing the registration forms; hearing the door open, she looked up, and her eyes instantly lit up,

"Mr. Su! Long time no see!"

Her voice was loud enough for the entire Gym to hear.

Su Bai nodded,

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year!" The girl smiled until her eyes squinted into slits, "What are you training today? Let me arrange it for you—"

"Su Bai!" A voice came from behind.

Su Bai turned around.

Amy stood at the end of the corridor, wearing a black sports tank top and matching yoga pants. Her short blonde hair glistened under the lights, and those fox-like eyes were bright and alluring.

She saw Su Bai and walked over quickly.

"You're finally here!" She walked up to Su Bai and affectionately grabbed his arm,

"I missed you to death!"

The Front desk girl's mouth opened into a perfect 'O'.

She looked at Amy's hand holding Su Bai's arm, then looked at Amy's face—those fox-like eyes were full of light, a kind of light she had never seen before.

Amy was the hardest personal trainer to deal with there; how many rich people wanted to taste this piece of tender meat, sending flowers, bags, and annual passes, but Amy wouldn't even glance at them.

There was a real estate boss who, in order to pursue her, specially got a VIP card and came for three months, but Amy didn't even add him on WeChat.

Now she was actually throwing herself at Su Bai?

The Front desk girl's gaze landed on Su Bai's face. Hmm, this face, it really does have authority.

It wasn't the good looks of a pretty boy, but the kind of good looks that get better the more you look at them, the kind that makes your heart race after a while.

Add to that the car he drove, the generosity of throwing down a VIP card, and the way he did three hundred kilograms of Squat in the Gym that day...

If only she could...

The Front desk girl's face suddenly turned red.

What was she thinking?

Su Bai said, "I haven't trained in a long time, I want to do some cardio to recover first."

Amy's eyes lit up, the light holding a bit of slyness and mischief.

"Alright," she said, drawing out her voice, looking mysterious,

"I have a cardio plan that can only be used by you."

Su Bai looked at her with confusion,

"What cardio plan can only be used by me?"

Amy leaned close to his ear, her voice as light as a feather,

"Of course, it's the 'benefit' plan."

She took his hand and walked into the VIP room.

The VIP room was divided into two sections: the outer room was the equipment area, and the inner room was the changing room.

Amy pushed open the door to the changing room, pulled him inside, and then closed the door.

The Front desk girl sat at the front desk, staring at the closed door, her mouth still not closed.

An hour and a half later, the door finally opened.

Su Bai walked out first, his hair still a bit damp, his face flushed from the exercise.

His breathing was heavier than usual, but his steps were steady.

Amy followed behind him, her face very red, her lips a bit more swollen than when she went in, her short blonde hair sticking to her forehead, dampened by sweat.

She looked at Su Bai's back, a satisfied smile on her lips.

Su Bai looked back at her,

"Let's meet again next time."

Amy smiled and nodded, standing in the corridor, watching him disappear at the doorway.

The Front desk girl sat at the front desk, holding the registration form, staring at Amy.

Amy turned her head, saw her expression, and immediately raised an eyebrow,

"What are you looking at?"

The Front desk girl hurriedly lowered her head,

"Nothing, I'm not looking at anything."

Amy ignored her, turned, walked into the VIP room, and closed the door.
