Jiang Wanyan took a deep breath, wiped the sweat off her face, and shook her head, saying, "It's okay. I'm just a little tired."

The young man hesitated and said, "You look a little pale. Did you not regulate your breathing properly while running?"

Jiang Wanyan nodded hesitantly. She indeed did not deliberately adjust her breathing.

The young man said: "When running, you should breathe through your nose, not your mouth. If you feel a little breathless, run slower, inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth, and slowly adjust your rhythm. Don't run too fast and disrupt your rhythm."

Jiang Wanyan nodded. She didn't care about that much. She didn't expect that she had to breathe through her nose while running. No wonder her throat felt hot. It turned out that it was because she breathed through her mouth.

When Jiang Wanyan was about to leave the gym, someone suddenly called her from behind. She turned around and saw it was the young man. The young man walked up to her, touched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Well, I often come here to exercise. It seems like this is the first time I meet you. If you don't mind, let's exchange contact information."

Jiang Wanyan was stunned for a moment and refused, "No need, we just met once, there's no need to add contact information."

Jiang Wanyan is not the kind of person who will add someone's contact information just because they ask her to. If she doesn't want to add someone, no one can force her to do so.

The young man insisted, "It's just a contact number. If you don't want to talk to me, I won't bother you. I will never do anything to harass you."

Jiang Wanyan frowned slightly, not understanding why he insisted on adding her contact information.

Seeing Jiang Wanyan frown, the young man knew what she was thinking. He quickly explained, "I really don't have any ideas. I just want someone to keep me company. I feel a little bored coming here alone. If possible, we can exercise together."

Jiang Wanyan looked at the young man, who looked like he was about to cry. Jiang Wanyan inexplicably softened her heart and said, "Okay, then add me in touch."

It's just adding contact information, it shouldn't be of any concern.

The young man seems to be a law-abiding person. If you feel uncomfortable, just block him.

After exchanging contact information, the young man smiled and said, "My name is Gu Kaiji."

Jiang Wanyan exchanged names with him.

Gu Kaiji touched his head embarrassedly and whispered, "I've been here for a long time, but there are very few people here, especially during the day. I come here during the day, and I always feel bored, so I want to find someone to exercise with."

He said, a little embarrassed, "It seems like I'm very clingy. Actually, I'm used to doing activities with everyone, but I don't have many friends since I went to college. They all do their own things. Even fewer people like sports. They think sports are not as good as playing games, so I have to do it by myself."

Jiang Wanyan nodded unexpectedly after hearing what Gu Kaiji said. It turned out that he didn't like being alone. This was also normal. Humans are social animals, and some people especially like to gather together.

Jiang Wanyan could understand how uncomfortable it was to have no one to talk to. When she was at the He family, the only person she could talk to was Old Man He.

But Mr. He did not live with them, and Jiang Wanyan had almost no one to talk to. She could only see Mr. He once or twice a month at most.

Before marrying into the He family, she had a very good relationship with Yin You, and they were often inseparable. Suddenly, she had no one to talk to, and she was almost driven crazy, especially when she had to face He Ming's cold violence.

Jiang Wanyan told him, "I don't necessarily come here every day. I came recently mainly to exercise. I want to learn self-defense, but my physical fitness is not up to par, so I want to exercise."

Gu Kaiji nodded and said, "I won't disturb you while you're working out. If you have any questions, you can ask me. Although I'm not as good as a professional trainer, I've been in the gym for many years and I basically understand everything."

Gu Kaiji was very tactful and would not make Jiang Wanyan feel uncomfortable. Jiang Wanyan responded by saying, "Okay. I'll come to you if I need help."

After Jiang Wanyan returned home, she received a message from Gu Kaiji, who told her to relax after returning home.

I told her that if she had been exercising for a long time, she should be more careful, otherwise she might get injured.

Jiang Wanyan replied: I understand, thank you for your concern.

Gu Kaiji sent an emoticon and stopped bothering Jiang Wanyan.

Xi Chenzhu told her to warm up and relax properly, and Jiang Wanyan would take good care of herself.

After returning home, I relaxed my body a little, had a simple massage, and then went to take a shower.

Xi Chenzhu didn't go home in the evening. He sent a message to Jiang Wanyan saying that he needed to go on a business trip.

Jiang Wanyan was not surprised. As expected, even if he took a break, he could only rest for half a day. It was impossible for him to rest for a whole day.

Jiang Wanyan said before that she would have some time to rest after finishing the work at hand, but that was just a joke.

He is so busy that he has no time to rest.

Jiang Wanyan told him to take good care of his health, and Xi Chenzhu assured him that he would have a good rest.

The next day, Jiang Wanyan practiced the piano first, and then went to the gym. When she arrived at the gym, Gu Kaiji immediately saw her and greeted her with surprise: "You're here! I thought you weren't coming today?"

Jiang Wanyan has just started and there is no way she will give up halfway.

Although running feels very tiring and hard, she will always find it difficult if she doesn't persist.

If you can persist for a period of time, it will surely become much easier and your physical fitness will also be improved.

Jiang Wanyan also wants to learn self-defense skills. On the one hand, she doesn't want to be threatened by others, and on the other hand, she wants to protect herself and reassure those who care about her.

Gu Kaiji and Jiang Wanyan talked about a few things to pay attention to, then turned around to practice their own exercises.

Jiang Wanyan felt the same as yesterday when running today. She was a little tired and her legs were sore, but her stomach didn't hurt as much.

After finishing the run, she felt a rare sweat. She wiped the sweat off her face and turned around to see Gu Kaiji looking at her.

Jiang Wanyan asked hesitantly, "Why are you looking at me?"

Gu Kaiji quickly shook his head and said, "I wasn't looking at you the whole time. I was just taking a break and happened to glance at you."

Jiang Wanyan saw sweat on his forehead, and thought it was from the exercise. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt less uncomfortable. He really just glanced at her during his break.

There was no uncomfortable scrutiny in his eyes, but rather a normal look.

In the next few days, Jiang Wanyan would meet Gu Kaiji every time she went to the gym. At the beginning, Gu Kaiji would give Jiang Wanyan a few words of advice. Over time, Jiang Wanyan gradually accepted Gu Kaiji's presence.

One day, Gu Kaiji suddenly asked her: "Are you free recently? I need your help with something."
