Chapter 142: I’ll Take Care of You at Home

Jin Nian looked worried and pondered whether the exercise intensity would be too much. She took the schedule and started reading.

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were for running. Thursday, Friday, and Sat.u.r.day were for cardio exercises. It all began at 6 AM and lasted for about two hours. Additionally, dietary considerations were important too.

Jin Nian’s expression turned even more distressed. Exercising for two hours a day seemed like torture to her, not to mention giving up fried chicken and snacks. Just the thought of it made her want to find a place to hide.

“Six in the morning is too early, 1 can’t wake up…” Jin Nian attempted to negotiate.

‘Til wake you up.”

“If I sleep too little and wake up so early in the morning, 1 won’t be energetic for the whole day.”

“Then you don’t have to go to work. 1’11 take care of you at home,” Lu An said a.s.sertively.

“But 1 still don’t want to go jogging.”

“No, your health is too poor.”

Unable to convince Lu An, Jin Nian got upset and turned away, not wanting to look at Lu An anymore.

Seeing Jin Nian’s sulking expression, Lu An smiled helplessly. “If you don’t want to exercise, it’s okay. We can try a different form of exercise.”

Jin Nian was curious.

“Come on top of me and exercise.”

Jin Nian blushed and pushed Lu An away in defiance. However, Lu An firmly held her hand and enveloped her in his embrace.

Seeing Jin Nian’s resistance, Lu An thought for a moment. He didn’t want to force her, but her health was fragile. She was sub-healthy. The recent flu had nearly taken a toll on her life. If there were more serious viruses or infections, it would be a bigger problem.

This showed the importance of physical fitness.

However, with Jin Nian’s strong resistance, Lu An took a step back. “If you can’t wake up early, fine. How about jogging at night?”

Jin Nian considered it. If she could sleep in, she could reluctantly accept it. So she agreed. “Alright.”

She understood Lu An’s good intentions. Given that, she didn’t want to go against his wishes. Moreover, her health was indeed subpar. If she could improve it a bit, at least the next time she got sick wouldn’t be so terrible.

Furthermore, having Lu An accompany her during the night jog would provide extra motivation and the results should be good.

Although Lu An seemed laid-back, he was very serious about things. Moreover, when it came to exercise, he had been a part of the basketball team before. He used to wake up early every day for training, and that level of determination was something she couldn’t match.

This made Jin Nian deeply admire Lu An’s discipline and persistence.

If Jin Nian set her mind on something, she would grit her teeth and stick with it without giving up halfway.

During her high school years, the people around her could explain it clearly. Jin Nian used to persevere every night during the third year of high school. With dark circles under her eyes, she would do the questions crazily and then wake up before dawn to go to school the next day.

Thinking back to that time, Jin Nian felt a natural apprehension. However, she still remembered that Lu An had always been there with her, guiding her through the study sessions.

Putting the plan into action, on the first night, Jin Nian did a warm-up routine. Due to her weak physique, she got tired after running a short distance. She followed Lu An’s lead and walked slowly.

The next day, Jin Nian couldn’t run much before getting tired. So she continued to walk, tired but persistent.

On the third day, she felt her physical condition changing a bit. This time, she managed to run a longer distance than the previous two days. However, she still lagged far behind Lu An’s stamina. She alternated between walking and stopping, and when Jin Nian couldn’t run anymore, Lu An would slow down and walk alongside her, just as before.

As the days went on, Jin Nian sensed a clear change in her physical condition. She realized that running wasn’t as dreadful as she had thought.

The changes brought about by exercise were significant, and it even affected her mood positively.

On the weekend, Jin Nian arranged to meet with her friends Yu Feifei and Qiao Ranran. As they met and exchanged greetings, Qiao Ranran quickly noticed a difference in Jin Nian.

With the recent drop in temperature, aside from the fact that Jin Nian had switched to autumn attire, there weren’t obvious changes in her appearance. However, her aura was unique and discernible.

Yu Feifei teased and said, “Jin Nian, you’re living the good life. You’re positively radiant now, and your whole demeanor has changed.”

“Hehe, that’s because I’ve been forced by a man to work out lately.”

Qiao Ranran chuckled. “Is this exercise serious?”

“I don’t know if it’s serious, but you’re not.” Jin Nian shrugged. “I just run every day, except Sundays. I have to go out and exercise the rest of the time.”

“What?”

Both of them were surprised.

Resting only one day a week and exercising almost every day, was Lu An being a bit too intense?
