Afterward, the two lay on the sofa panting. Xu Lian was so tired she didn't want to move a finger.

Xu Lian felt that she may have to extend her half-hour morning run just to keep up with Xiang ChangKong.

Looking at her from the side, Xiang ChangKong raised his hand and plucked a strand of her sweaty hair. "Tired?"

"Un...let's take a little break."

Xiang ChangKong smiled. "After a bit, you should go take a bath."

Xu Lian opened an eye and looked at him. "Finished already?"

The smile on Xiang ChangKong's face widened, and his dark eyes had a twinkle as he taunted: "Do you still have the strength to continue? You were begging for mercy just a minute ago. Now you want to do it again?"

"Er...I'll recover. Just give me a minute..."

Kissing her lips, Xiang ChangKong whispered: "We played all day, aren't you tired?"

During their trip to the amusement park, they played around and spent a lot of time lining up in queues. And Xu Lian had been wearing high-heeled shoes. After standing all afternoon, Xiang ChangKong figured that her legs must be hurting.

A weak Xu Lian exhaled and sat up from the couch. "Then I'll take a bath first. I feel sticky."
She picked up her clothes from the ground and put them on. Looking back towards Xiang ChangKong, she said: "Go take a bath too." Xu Lian's home had another bathroom next to the guest room.   "Alright."

Xu Lian shuffled into her slippers and went into her room. She filled the bathtub with water and had a comfortable soak. When she finally came out, she saw Xiang ChangKong had already taken a shower and cleaned the living room and sofa.

Xu Lian's sofa was made of leather. Although its color made any stains obvious, being made of leather made it easy to clean up. She looked around and saw that Xiang ChangKong was standing on the balcony. Xu Lian went into the kitchen to pick up two cans of beer, then went to the balcony.

Xu Lian gave Xiang ChangKong a beer, then with a 'snick' opened her own. Taking a warm bath had stimulated her body's blood flow, so drinking a cold beer was very refreshing.

Xu Lian let out a comfortable sigh. "It'd be better if we had barbecue."

Opening his own can, Xiang ChangKong lightly smiled. "You really don't worry about gaining weight, do you?"

Xu Lian didn't care one bit. "The amount of exercise we just did was so intense, we definitely lost a lot of calories."

Hearing this, Xiang ChangKong's ears turned a little hot. After taking another sip of his cold beer, he felt better.

Xu Lian then straightened. She turned and looked at Xiang ChangKong and asked: "Have you been hiding from me these past couple days?"

Xiang ChangKong didn't speak. His eyes remained trained at the distant sky. Xu Lian asked again: "Did Wei YiChen look for you?"

Xiang ChangKong's adam's apple moved as if he wanted to say something. The corner of his mouth lifted, and he raised his hand to rub Xu Lian's head. "It's nothing, I figured out things."

Xu Lian raised an eyebrow, curious. "What did you figure out?"

Xiang ChangKong only smiled in response.

Xu Lian fiddled with the beer can in her hands and asked: "Are you going to continue delivering takeout?"

"Un." Xiang ChangKong nodded. "I'm my only family's source of income. If I don't work, my family isn't going to survive."
