Chapter Thirty-Seven: Overtime

  "Brother, don't stop, keep running. From today on, add two more laps. If I can persist, you can't?" Luo Ye kicked Luo Feng's leg with her foot as she slowed down while running.

  "First add a lap......" Luo Feng panted heavily: "Ye Er, we must... gradually increase the amount of exercise, or else it'll be exhausting!"

  "I'm not tired, brother is not tired!" Luo Ye was resolute and wouldn't give in. As soon as Luo Feng slowed down a bit, she kicked him forward. A middle-aged man running behind them couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

  "One lap is 400 meters, Ye... you've added too much!" Luo Feng felt his throat was about to emit smoke, he found it strange that his sister originally had a worse physique than him, yet after training for less than two months, she had surpassed him?

  What also puzzled him was that since the midnight conversation incident, Ye had been constantly increasing her exercise volume. From that night to today, in just 32 days, they had increased from their original eight laps every morning to fifteen laps. Was it necessary to be so desperate when she wasn't even training for a marathon?

  In this hot summer, clothes stick to the body and feel uncomfortable to death. Of course, he only dares to mutter in his heart, now the right to speak is his.

  "Speed up, I've told you, this is a reasonably calculated amount of exercise and time, there won't be any problem. If you want to get stronger, you must persevere!" Luo Ye said resolutely, and kicked Luo Feng again. No way, this brother was too much, always thinking about being lazy.

  "Wow, you're really something!" The man behind caught up and started running shoulder-to-shoulder with Luo Ye.

  Lu Ye tilted her head and sized up the man, quickly searching through her mind. She had an impression of him, but there was no time to think about it now. She could only smile awkwardly: "You also run?" After saying that, she felt that she had asked a really silly question.

  "Has the little guy forgotten who his uncle is?" The man understood as soon as he saw Luo Ye's expression.

  Lu Ye smiled and said: "That... uncle, I ran a bit dizzy and my eyes are also dizzy, I'm a little confused for a moment, don't mind, okay?"

  Luofeng quickly turned around and after seeing the man's face, panted heavily and greeted: "Uncle Song, you... are also here to exercise? I haven't seen you come out before?"

  Luoye really wanted to kick her brother down, she was so angry that she was dizzy and couldn't see clearly, but he was still recognizable even when panting like a cow, wasn't he deliberately trying to ruin her show?

  "Luofeng, you're not as patient as Xiaoluoye, come on! " Song Fangzheng smiled and looked at Luoye who was pinching Luofeng's nose and staring at him: "Xiaoluoye, don't be embarrassed, Uncle doesn't visit your house often, it's normal that you can't remember. Besides, young people wouldn't like to watch an old man, right?"

  "Hehe... Song BoBo... Hehe..." Luo Ye smiled awkwardly, but her mind had already recalled all the information about Song Fangzheng. Oh my god, heaven was really helping her, everything was just in time, oh yeah!

  "Uncle used to be a soldier, he likes kids who love sports and have endurance. Little Luo Ye often goes to Uncle's house to play!" Song Fangzheng said with a wave of his hand, turning towards the residential area.

  Lu Ye's cow nose snorted: "Brother, don't you see? Song Bo invited me to his house to play but didn't invite you. Don't you have any ideas? Haven't you thought about working hard and surpassing me?"

  "No... nothing, Ye'er... being liked by someone... brother is happy about it!" Luo Feng's mouth was agape like a dying fish, gasping for air.

  "Brother, didn't I tell you not to breathe through your mouth? You won't get tired if you don't do that! Alright, slow down a bit!" Luo Ye handed him a cup of water with concern: "Don't stop, just take a few sips."

  "Much better!" The warm salt water flowed down her throat and Luo Feng immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

  "From today on, half an hour after dinner every day, we will also come out for a slow run, the time is one hour, and the route will be planned by me!"

  Luofeng, who had just seen the dawn, almost fell to the ground when he heard Luoye's words. His sister was going to take his life! He ran in the morning and now he had to continue at night, did she want him to be a long-distance running champion?

  "Yè ér, I plan to apply for boarding... " Luo Feng pitifully stared at Luo Ye: "I promise, I will persist in exercising at school."

  "No way, you're boarding and who's picking me up? Are you worried that I, a weak little woman, will go home by myself? Aren't you afraid that I'll be bullied?" Luo Ye had an expression of complete righteousness, as if she had just run twelve laps without breaking a sweat, which was absolutely impossible for her.

  "Leaf...". A hundred mouths can't explain it, a hundred mouths can't explain it.

  "Don't worry, let's take a walk tonight, and run as a supplement. Alright?" Luo Ye handed the water cup to Luo Feng again: "Brother, drink some more, we'll take a slow walk for two rounds and then head back home."

  ……

  "I say, Feng Er, why do you look more and more like Ye Er when she first started morning exercises?" Wen Xin looked at Luo Feng, who was dragged back by Luo Ye like a dead dog, with a heart-aching expression: "Ye Er, we're not participating in the Olympics, do we need to be so desperate?"

  "Good for nothing! Look at Ye Er, she's running the same route as him and is full of energy!" Luo Zheng Feng shifted his gaze from the newspaper, giving Luo Feng a resentful glance: "Don't you feel ashamed?"

  "You think you're so capable? Why don't you go for a run tomorrow morning and see how it feels!" Wen Xin was unhappy with her husband's habit of standing while talking, which didn't hurt his waist.

  "Mom, your obedient daughter is requesting to start working overtime from today, and half an hour after dinner, increase the exercise by one hour, she must be thinking of participating in the Olympics!" Luo Feng seized the opportunity to seek help.

  "Yèr, is it true?" Wēn xīn's face was full of disbelief. Could it be that her daughter didn't know fatigue like a robot?

  "Seriously, brother is too weak, must train as soon as possible. Mom, don't worry, I've got this! I'm going to take a bath!" Luo Ye waved her hand and went to the bathroom, with an unmistakable tone of no discussion."

  Wen Xin gave Luo Feng a few more massages and gently patted him on the back: "Hurry up and go to the small bathroom to rinse off, your clothes are all stuck to your body!"

  "Hmm!" Luo Feng gruffly responded with a single grunt, struggling to get up from the sofa and stumbling towards the small bathroom. Luo Zheng had just thrown a feather duster at him in anger: "You're such a good-for-nothing! Ye Er didn't even humiliate himself like this on his first day, are you even a man?!"

  "Hiss...!" The feather duster didn't hit Luo Feng, but almost hit the adorable creature waiting by the bathroom door, Luo Ye's pet. The little thing immediately got angry, flapping its wings and puffing out its feathers, staring at Luo Zheng with round, beady eyes, looking like it was ready to fight to the death with the culprit.

  "Look, what kind of pet someone raises reflects their personality. Look at Parrot, it's a match for Ye now, but it's a bit overestimating itself... Ahh..." Before he could finish speaking, he was pinched by Parrot and it was a hard pinch, his arm was already bruised.

  Watching the swift fly in, peck at itself, and then retreat with its feathers standing on end, Luo Zheng was left crying with laughter. The great deputy mayor had been bullied by a bird!

  "Serves you right, let's laugh at it!" Wen Xin was teased into a gentle smile and walked to Tiao Tiao's side to comfort her gently: "We won't bother with him, okay? By the way, dear husband, do you think Ye Er really wants to be an athlete?"

  "No, this kid, maybe she's eager to get stronger, but what's rare is that she has perseverance and tenacity. Originally, I didn't think she could persist in her early training, wife, don't interfere with Ye Er, she'll reap the benefits of doing things this way!" Luo Zheng just happened to interrupt, fearing that Wen Xin would sympathize with their son.

  "Am I that unprincipled in your eyes?" Wen Xin suddenly slapped her forehead: "Huh? Why do I feel like there's something unsaid?"

  "What's going on?" Luo Zheng stared at Wen Xin in confusion: "Is it about me or about the kids?"

  "It's about...". He furrowed his brow and thought hard for a while, but finally gave up: "Forget it, the more I rush the less I can think of it, let's talk about it later."
