Chapter 18: Running Task
It was probably because Qiu Yurou, who came from the back light, looked too similar ten years later, so Xu Ziran, who had long been missing, was a little confused. She stayed for a while, and did not answer Qiu Yurou immediately.
Until a mechanical reminder came in my mind—
[Dear host, I noticed that you encountered the target character, the mode is changed, I wish you a happy day~]
[Dear host, the intimacy has increased, and the limited distance has been extended to 200 meters]
Xu Ziran raised an eyebrow.
She was also struggling with the troublesome setting that she couldn’t be too far away from the target character. It turned out that as the relationship got closer, it would also relax.
But what is intimacy? Why doesn’t it show up on the panel?
Now that he started thinking about this, he was completely awake. Xu Ziran cleared his itchy throat and said, “Ahem, I’m here to run and exercise, how about you?”
Qiu Yurou’s eyes widened, showing a look of surprise: “I also came to run, I have always had this habit.”
Xu Ziran smiled back: “Why are you so surprised, do you think I don’t look like I love sports?”
Xu Ziran was just joking and laughing at himself. Unexpectedly, Qiu Yurou suddenly showed a nervous expression and waved his hand to explain, “I, I, I don’t think so, I just, just…”
She “just” for a long time, and did not say the next words, Xu Ziran reluctantly patted Qiu Yurou’s shoulder, took advantage of the situation to wrap her neck, and changed the subject: “You will start running now that you have finished running, if only you will start running. Run, do you want to go together?”
Qiu Yurou froze because no one had ever done such an intimate act to her before, she nodded mechanically, and when she came back to her senses, she was already running on the track side by side with Xu Ziran.
After running, she realized that she had done warm-up exercises before, but Xu Ziran hadn’t.
She thought that Xu Ziran had no experience in running, so she didn’t know. Just as she was about to remind her, she heard Xu Ziran say, “I haven’t done a warm-up, so I ran slowly at the beginning, just warm up.”
Having said that, he looked at her with a sideways smile, narrowed his eyes slightly, walked briskly, and breathed evenly.
Fifteen-year-old Xu Ziran may not be able to do science sports, but of course the reborn Xu Ziran will.
And because there are a hundred flowers blooming fitness methods in later generations, she knows dozens of aerobics alone.
It’s a pity that she still underestimated the slackness and frailty of her fifteen-year-old self. When she finished the first lap based on her experience, she was out of breath.
She glanced at Qiu Yurou, who was still walking steadily, and said, “I never imagined that this level would not be a warm-up for me, but a serious run.”
This time Qiu Yurou heard that Xu Ziran was laughing at herself, and said, “You haven’t run before, so it’s normal to be tired.”
Xu Ziran felt that if he continued running like this, he, who was already sleep-deprived, should have slept for a day today. He slowed down on the second lap. Seeing that Qiu Yurou had also slowed down, he hurriedly said, “Run at your own pace, don’t be accommodating. me.”
Qiu Yurou didn’t speak, and ran beside Xu Ziran.
With Qiu Yurou following along, Xu Ziran was even more embarrassed to give up in the middle. It was not until the system reminded him that he had successfully completed the 1,000-meter run and got all the bonus points, and finally stopped and started walking quickly.
Probably because the second lap was already very slow, after that, my breathing gradually became smoother, and I didn’t breathe too much for the entire run. By the end of the lap, thirty minutes had passed, and it was almost time for self-study. , Xu Ziran wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said embarrassedly, “It’s all my fault, you didn’t do much activity today.”
Although Qiu Yurou would often accommodate her when exercising in the future, after all, they were already good friends at that time, and now they are only classmates who have only known each other for a few days.
Qiu Yurou shook her head, her face covered in a thin layer of sweat was slightly flushed, like a red peach in white, she opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, and finally closed it again without saying anything.
Xu Ziran sighed inwardly, thinking to herself: Now Qiu Yurou is too kind, soft and considerate.
She thought that even though Qiu Yurou was still gentle and considerate in front of her ten years later, she was always regarded as impersonal by outsiders, and she wondered for the first time in her heart whether Qiu Yurou had suffered a lot later on to make such a big change.
The two washed their faces in the nearest bathroom and went to the classroom together.
Xu Ziran said, “I really don’t have good physical fitness. I need to exercise more. By the way, do you run every day?”
Of course, she already knew the answer in her heart. After all, Qiu Yurou had already told her ten years later, but now, in order not to be cold, she asked casually.
In the end, Qiu Yurou replied, “Well, yes.”
Xu Ziran stuck his shell.
– Didn’t you say that you don’t run on weekends, and run the next day on holidays?
Today is Friday, Xu Ziran originally thought that Qiu Yurou would not run on weekends, so he made an appointment to continue running together next Monday. Unexpectedly, Qiu Yurou directly said that she runs every day, Xu Ziran was stunned for a moment, and then continued: “Then do you want to run together tomorrow? .”
Qiu Yurou nodded and said “OK”.
There is no reason for Qiu Yurou in ten years to deceive people, but there is no need for Qiu Yurou to deceive people now.
Xu Ziran thought about it for a while, and finally came up with a reasonable explanation, thinking that Qiu Yurou probably ran every day before the first year of high school, and then changed to not running on weekends – after all, the study in the future will be more stressful, and it may be more tiring.
Now that there is a reasonable explanation, Xu Ziran doesn’t think about it anymore. The two agreed on a specific time, and they discussed the things to pay attention to when running, and unknowingly walked to the door of the class.
Xu Ziran was chatting happily with Qiu Yurou, but suddenly his scalp felt numb, and when he raised his head, he saw Tian Jiaqi sitting in her place, staring at her with one hand on her face.
There was no expression on the slap face, but his eyes looked a little cold.
Xu Ziran trembled inexplicably, thinking to himself: What’s going on here, why is there a guilty conscience for no reason?
She stepped forward and said dryly, “It’s really early today, Jiaqi.”
Tian Jiaqi snorted coldly: “It’s too early for you.”
After all, Xu Ziran is not fifteen years old. In fact, she is not used to the sticky friendship in high school. She can’t stand the behavior of going to the toilet together again.
But to a 15-year-old girl who used to be inseparable from her, saying “friends should have space for each other” or “I’m not used to such a close relationship between friends” is obviously unconvincing. I think I’m tired of friendship and want to break up.
After thinking about it, Xu Ziran couldn’t come up with any good ideas, so he had no choice but to say: “I will decide to run every morning in the future, do you want to join us?”
Tian Jiaqi’s original cold expression turned into disbelief: “You? Morning run? Didn’t you say before that if you don’t step on the bell to enter the classroom, you’re wasting your life?”
Huh? Did she say such a thing?
Xu Ziran thought about it and found that she might indeed say such things in high school.
No wonder Tian Jiaqi was shocked, even at the age of fifteen, she would never have imagined that she would start exercising in ten years.
She knew that people who knew her would find her change too great to accept.
Xu Ziran scratched his face, but in the end he had no choice but to say, “Alas, you should treat me as evil.”
