CHAPTER 68: CHAPTER 64: HUH? WHERE ARE MY ABS?

"Drive!"As soon as Chu Tian got into the car, Xu Qingqiu had Yiyi drive away immediately."What’s the rush this early in the morning?""You’ll know when we get there.""What do you mean ’You’ll know when we get there’?"Chu Tian soon understood what ’You’ll know when we get there’ meant."You got me up early in the morning just to come here?""Yeah"Xu Qingqiu looked at him with a smirk, especially at that incredulous expression mixed with a dash of despair on his face. It was simply too priceless, especially since he had argued with her yesterday.Insisting that salad was just grass, wanting to eat grilled meat—how would he know her pain, or rather, the resignation of eating salads, if he didn’t experience it himself?"Why? You’re a celebrity and it’s fine for you to work out, but why drag me into it?"Chu Tian was on the verge of tears.What did he see? All kinds of gym equipment, his nightmare from a past life!Who could understand how much a home-body lazy guy hated working out, yet sometimes couldn’t escape it due to work?Magazine shoots, film and TV image design, concert image management, etc., to match the outfits and look better by building muscles—it was too painful.Just thinking of the nutritionist and coach’s faces made him want to vomit, yet he couldn’t escape them.It could be said that he absolutely detested the words ’work out’!He thought that after his reincarnation, he would finally be free. He never planned on entering a gym in this life, but why now?"I’m going back, do whatever you want, take all the money, I don’t want it anymore!"Chu Tian was dead set against entering the gym. Seeing all that equipment, his mouth tasted like protein powder, whole wheat bread, and leafy greens—he never wanted to experience it again."No way!"Xu Qingqiu grabbed him, but she was too light and couldn’t hold on. Chu Tian kept walking, dragging her along."You can’t go!"For some inexplicable reason, Xu Qingqiu jumped up and clung onto Chu Tian, refusing to let go.Whether it was Li Chunhua, Yiyi, or the personal trainers, everyone was stunned."What’s going on here?"As Xu Qingqiu’s personal trainer, Yao Na had never heard any gossip about Xu Qingqiu, nor seen her displaying any intimacy with any man.But what was this scene? Who was this man? Could he be Xu Qingqiu’s boyfriend? What was the scoop?In response, Sister Hua and Yiyi shook their heads in unison.About ten meters later, Chu Tian could no longer move forward. Although he was fairly strong, carrying a person on him was exhausting.He wasn’t a strongman, especially with Xu Qingqiu’s legs wrapped around his thighs, he couldn’t take a step. Just walking those few meters exhausted him.He stopped, leaning against the wall and catching his breath, his face clearly unhappy:"Get down, I’m going back to the company.""No, look at you, you’re so weak. You need more exercise!""Who are you calling weak?"A man can tolerate anything, but not being called weak! And certainly not being denied!Unable to bear the insult, Chu Tian gritted his teeth and continued walking out.Fortunately, it was a private gym and not too crowded. Otherwise, if seen by others, it would definitely become a major news story.Barely making it to the door, Chu Tian couldn’t go any further. He sat down on the floor, didn’t care about Xu Qingqiu on him, and leaned against the wall gasping for breath."What exactly do you want? I just don’t want to work out, and nothing you say will make me.""Why don’t you want to exercise?""I just don’t want to, I really hate it! Absolutely abhor it! I’d rather die than work out!"By now, Xu Qingqiu had realized that he truly resisted exercising, although she didn’t know why, she didn’t want to force him."Alright, I won’t force you, but you sit all day at work, and soon your health will collapse.""Do you remember when we used to rest during dance practice? You lifted me up so easily. Can you still do that now?""I will be very busy with a lot of work coming up, and if your health is poor it might be very tiring for you. I just think you need to exercise to improve your physical fitness."Xu Qingqiu said this very seriously, and her big, pitiful eyes only added to her trustworthiness.Such pure big eyes, such a simple girl, she must be telling the truth.Chu Tian looked into those deep eyes in front of him, as if seeing mountains and stars within her pupils.As he gazed, he seemed to sink deeper, and the atmosphere gradually calmed down, as if he had been persuaded by Xu Qingqiu.No way!What do you mean ’you’re busy so I’ll be tired’? What does your being busy have to do with me?I could just not go! Is slacking off at the company not good enough? What does it have to do with me?And this business about being tired, what does that have to do with working out?Wouldn’t working out make me even more tired?Chu Tian blinked, feeling like she was trying to trick him.He tilted his head and glanced at Yiyi, who was also staring with big eyes and dark circles, then at Chunhua standing beside him with her arms crossed, frozen in shock. A lightning bolt flashed through his mind, and he suddenly realized something."You’re not just upset because Sister Hua made you get up early and are now taking it out on us, are you?""Ah? How could that be? I absolutely am not!""Are you sure?""I’m sure!""I don’t believe it, you are, Xu Qingqiu you’ve gone too far. How could you do this just for your own selfish desires?""Do you know how horrible it is to disturb someone’s peaceful sleep?"Looking at her evasive eyes, Chu Tian finally realized she just wanted to torment him, he knew it, last night’s barbecue couldn’t have been that easy.After all, yesterday he and Yiyi had joyfully ignored her objections, she was bound to seek revenge.He just didn’t expect it to come so quickly.Seeing that she couldn’t pretend anymore, Xu Qingqiu gave up."Alright, I just wanted you guys to accompany me to exercise, whether you go or not.""See, you can’t keep up the act, can you? I knew it! No matter what you say, I won’t go, definitely not!""Are you sure? Look at you, you’re only in your twenties and already starting to gain weight. If you don’t work out now, do you want to become a fat man later?""Who says I’m gaining weight? How is that possible?""You don’t have abs, and you say you’re not gaining weight?""I have abs, how could I not?!"Saying this, Chu Tian wasn’t pleased. What do you mean no abs?He angrily lifted his shirt, about to show off his abs, but since he was sitting, when he looked down he saw layers of fat instead.That’s awkward, where are my abs?Chu Tian grimaced, stunned.That shouldn’t be, he remembered when he first came his body was in good shape, he had specifically checked his sculpted abs in the bath, how did they suddenly disappear?"Pfft...haha""Hahahaha, those abs are huge, hahahaha"Xu Qingqiu sat to the side, watching his dumbfounded expression, then at the layers of fat on his belly, and she couldn’t hold back her laughter, tears streaming down as she laughed.The key was she couldn’t resist pinching the biggest roll of flesh, and shaking it, directly creating a ripple.
