Chapter 180 – Dog food (4)
Huang Hai and Zhou Qing were cheering Li Murou on. “You go, girl! We’ll be there in two more kilometers! We still have plenty of time so don’t rush it. Adjust your breathing.”
Even though Li Murou had wilderness survival experience, the difficulty of doing a cross-country run with weights was still really great. This is treatment only new recruits have to suffer. Even though she insisted on running forty minutes a day in order to participate in the program, that was on the treadmill after all.
She stood in place to rest for a while and looked behind her to see the deadweight fatty holding her knees and panting. Suddenly, she felt motivated, and she ran forward with gritted teeth.
Lin Yueqi rested for a while, readjusted her breathing, and when she got ready to straighten up and continue running, she saw Lu Ting take out a rope from his backpack, tied one end to her waist, and tied the other to his own waist.
The man’s eyes were clear and spirited. He was very determined. “You’re not allowed to give up.”
—I never thought of giving up.
Lin Yueqi was trying to adjust her breathing so she couldn’t say the words that were stuck in her throat.
Lu Ting went on, “Don’t think about having me carry your bag for you. There’s still a long way to go so hold on.”
Lin Yueqi, “??”
She was completely dumbfounded. When did she ask this guy to carry her bag?
Alright, she finally saw Lu Ting’s true face. The most fundamental reason he came to participate in “Nature’s Big Storm” is so he could constantly supervise her weight loss!
Lu Ting could see her little eyes fill with pitiful resentment. His heart went soft and he patted her head, explaining earnestly, “It’s not that I’m unwilling, I just don’t want to harm you. This trip to Africa isn’t like any regular variety TV show. It’s a documentary so it comes with its dangers. There will be wild beasts in the jungles so your backpack is going to be your lifeline. It will contain things you can’t go without, such as food, water, as well as a fire source. Since it is your life, it can’t leave your body. Understand?”
“…” Lin Yueqi straightened up, patted him on the shoulder, and pointed to her chest, then her mouth, and then forward.
Then, she put her hands into fists and placed it in front of her chest, making a cheering action.
She was trying to say that her heartbeat was so fast that she was still finding it a little difficult to catch her breath, and it was inconvenient for her to speak while trying to adjust her breath, signaling for him to continue forward.
Lu Ting continued running forward with her.
With the rope as traction, Lin Yueqi inexplicably felt her body turn much lighter as well. Lu Ting was obviously moved by her resilience, but he was also touched by the girl’s “words of love” to him.
It turned out that he was so important inside of her heart.
Substituting Lin Yueqi’s voice, he took her gestures to mean:
—My heart and soul, Old Lu, I offer you a kiss. Let us continue running! Hurrah!
Lu Ting’s face was flushed from the high-intensity cardio and his sweat had already soaked his sweatband through. The man could feel the weight from the rope at his waist, and a shallow smile emerged from his lips.
At this moment, it actually felt to him like he was walking his wife.
He had no idea if it was because of the exercise, but his heart rate was constantly increasing. No matter how he tried to adjust his breathing, his heartbeat was still abnormal. And, the frequency of his heartbeats was causing his face to turn redder and redder, and the smile on his lips grew deeper as well.
When Li Murou, Huang Hai, and Zhou Qing turned back to see them, all three of them were shocked to see the spring-like smile on Lu Ting’s face.
Zhou Qing gasped with emotion. “Holy shit, what a lewd smile. Has his domineering president persona collapsed?”
Huang Hai felt like he was being slapped in the face by a certain somebody’s love. “Is this guy walking his wife or something? Screw this dog food, I’m not watching this anymore…”
Li Murou was not feeling the same sentiments. At the moment, her face was tense, as if afraid to receive a punishment notice from the system.
But to her surprise, even with that “lewd” smile on Lu Ting’s face, she still didn’t receive any punishment notifications.
What’s going on?
