Chapter 137: Chapter 107 Fitness and Weight Loss_2Not to mention the speed, even the distance would be impossible for an average person to run in one go. Chen Feng, during his university days, at his best could only run three kilometers, and that would be his limit, any further and he would start to struggle. But now, his physical condition seemed even better than during his peak in university. Though he had already known this, confirming it once again through running still made Chen Feng extremely happy. It proved that his acquisition and absorption of the intrinsic, intangible energy from those paintings and books was real, not a hallucination. Moreover, it gave him renewed hope for curing his terminal illness. Since he could miraculously benefit from those paintings and books, thereby enhancing his physical fitness, there was a possibility that with continuous absorption and increasing strength, his brain tumor could get better, or possibly be completely cured. At the very least, it ought to maintain his current state and extend his life. For now, Chen Feng could only think positively. After all, the improvement in his physical condition was an ironclad fact. A few minutes into his joyful walk back, Chen Feng finally saw Wu Mengting, panting as she caught up to him. "You... You’re too amazing, right? To actually run so... far, I don’t believe you haven’t exercised in years." Chen Feng smiled and said, "Can’t help it. I have a good foundation, and even after not exercising for years, I’ve managed to maintain a decent level of fitness." Wu Mengting was clearly still skeptical. However, she didn’t continue to discuss this issue with Chen Feng and instead proposed, "Then from now on, you should run every morning. Run until you feel a bit tired or start to sweat. In short, you need to burn off the excess fat and calories in your body." "Okay, I’ll listen to you." Chen Feng agreed so readily this time because he felt pretty comfortable after sweating from the run. Since it felt good and could also help him lose weight and reshape his body, it seemed like a nice plan. Seeing Chen Feng no longer resistant to morning exercises and the diet plan she had laid out, a smile finally appeared on Wu Mengting’s face. After all, since she confirmed Chen Feng’s terminal illness the previous afternoon, her face hadn’t seen a smile. "Alright, let’s walk back slowly." Chen Feng naturally reached forward and took her small hand, which was plump and tender to the touch—very comfortable to hold. This, in true sense, was their first time holding hands. Wu Mengting’s body stiffened subconsciously for a moment before she suddenly relaxed. Now that the two had officially started dating, holding hands really wasn’t a big deal in this day and age. Therefore, Wu Mengting quickly adjusted, her fingers curling around to grasp his palm in return. Her hand was small compared to Chen Feng’s, which was much larger with a slightly rough palm. It tickled her a bit, yet it felt indescribably sweet and pleasant inside. This must be what falling in love feels like! Growing up, she had always been quite conservative and slow when it came to relationships. She had never had a crush during her teenage years, let alone dated a boy or experienced any romantic ambiguity. In that regard, she was an anomaly among her peers. Many girls her age started dating in middle school. By high school, some may have already gone through several break-ups. Even if they hadn’t dated, they certainly had secret crushes or feelings for a boy in their hearts. During university, it’s needless to say. At that stage, if a girl still didn’t have a boyfriend, it was often because she was too unattractive or for other reasons that no one pursued her. Before graduation, very few women hadn’t experienced romance or had a relationship with the opposite sex, But she had always been one of those rare cases – and she never thought there was anything wrong with that. Since elementary school, there had been plenty of boys who liked her, but she never felt the need to be in a romantic relationship. Thus, like an unmovable stone maiden, she often left many of the boys who liked her feeling dejected and heartbroken. Until she met Chen Feng, as if by fate. Several coincidental encounters, as if destined by a thousand-mile connection, made her feel the pull of destiny. But now, with Chen Feng diagnosed with a terminal illness, she felt it was a cruel twist of fate. However, that’s just how single-minded she was; she didn’t want this budding emotion to wither away pointlessly. No matter what, now that she had fallen in love, she wanted to love wholeheartedly, without holding anything back, without any regrets. The two chatted and laughed all the way to the vegetable market, like any other couple or married pair picking out groceries together, then walking back home. By the time they returned to the East Lake Villa, it was almost ten in the morning. At that moment, Lin Wan was already up, sitting in the living room watching TV with a grievance-stricken face. "Tiantian, don’t you love me anymore?" As soon as Wu Mengting came in, Lin Wan looked at her with a pitiful expression. Wu Mengting looked at her speechlessly and asked, "What’s wrong now?" With a face full of grievance, Lin Wan said, "When I got up in the morning, you only left me some porridge. There wasn’t even a dish to go with the porridge." Wu Mengting was surprised and said, "Didn’t I steam quite a few buns?" Right after she asked, she realized something and turned her head to look at Chen Feng. Chen Feng looked somewhat embarrassed, since he had a large appetite, and he had gobbled up all the leftover buns that morning. "Didn’t you say you wanted to lose weight? Having porridge for breakfast is just right. Why eat meat buns?" Chen Feng asked, trying to sound justified. Lin Wan also understood what had happened and glared at Chen Feng angrily, "Don’t you have any morals? Tiantian left me some buns and you ate them all. You could’ve at least left me one." Lin Wan also complained somewhat helplessly, "I remember there were at least seven or eight left, and you ate them all. You’re overindulging. From tomorrow on, you can’t eat like that anymore." Chen Feng replied with an innocent face, "The bag for those buns was really too small, I could finish one in just two bites. I’m a man, it’s normal for me to eat seven or eight at a go. I felt at most half full." "Oh my god, are you a pig? No wonder you’re so fat," Lin Wan mocked mercilessly. After all, he had eaten her buns. Chen Feng responded irritably, "Is that how you talk to your boss? Be careful or I’ll deduct your salary. And what time is it now? Shouldn’t you be at work?" Lin Wan was working for him in a shop, and it was already ten o’clock in the morning and she was still at home, obviously late. But Lin Wan wasn’t afraid of her boss at all. She rolled her eyes and said, "I got my period, I’m taking the day off." "I’m telling you. If you have no respect for your boss, watch out or I’ll really fire you." Chen Feng certainly wasn’t going to coddle her, and his tone became serious. "Tiantian, look at him. Not a gentleman at all, he steals my buns, oppresses and exploits me. Aren’t you going to do something about him? I really do have my period, and my stomach has been uncomfortable this whole time." Lin Wan frowned and turned to Wu Mengting for help. "Then consider today your day off. You get one day off every half a month, so after today, you won’t have any more days off for the rest of the month." Chen Feng nodded and said, "Then that’s settled. From tomorrow until the end of the month, no more days off. If you take another day off, I will really fire you. I pay you to work, not to rest at home." "Alright, alright. I can see that you two are singing the same tune; you’re a real pair," Lin Wan said with a feigned look of indignation and irritation. Wu Mengting approached her with a smile and said, "Come on. Brother Feng hasn’t said anything wrong. Business is business. Don’t mix personal feelings into it. If you don’t enjoy this job, then don’t do it. You both agreed to this beforehand." "Uh-huh, you’re right. I do feel a bit unwell today. I’ll definitely be at work tomorrow. Alright, it’s getting late, you better start cooking. I’ve only had a bowl of porridge this morning and I’m already hungry." Wu Mengting nodded with a smile, "Okay, just wait, I’ll cook quickly." Although Chen Feng knew well that Wu Mengting was practically Lin Wan’s half-time unpaid nanny, seeing it once more made him feel uncomfortable. It was really that Lin Wan was far too lazy compared to Wu Mengting. Back when Wu Mengting wasn’t his girlfriend, he didn’t mind as much, but now that she was, Chen Feng was even less tolerant of Lin Wan’s laziness.
