Having made a 'grand' plan, and knowing she wouldn't have to study the next morning, Gu Luoqi excitedly washed up and lay down on the bed. "My dear Ya Ya, see you tomorrow," she said to Li Mingya in a affected, pretentious voice.
Li Mingya's lips twitched, but he still said, "See you tomorrow."
"Host, if you're going for a morning run tomorrow, make sure you run a full five kilometers." The system noticed that Gu Luoqi had misunderstood its meaning.
If you think you can use morning runs as an excuse to slack off, you're really being naive.
Gu Luoxi was so frightened she almost jumped out of bed. "What did you say?" Mom, please don't scare her.
"There are requirements for morning runs, otherwise points will be deducted." The system was indifferent and ruthless.
"Five kilometers right off the bat?" Good heavens, she's afraid she'll die on the track tomorrow morning.
"You should know that five kilometers is not much, and there is no time limit." It believed that this request was not excessive.
Gu Luoqi: "..." What's the point of breaking up? She's just a gentle and weak girl. What did she do wrong?
"Can I back out? I suddenly feel that getting up early to study is actually quite nice."
Waking up in the morning to study is so positive, energetic, and full of the spirit of striving.
The system coldly and ruthlessly refused, "No, I just scanned you and found that your physical fitness is far below the average human level."
It was a little annoyed; this was an insult to its work, all because it hadn't paid attention to this aspect before.
"Huh?" Gu Luoqi was a little confused. It was just forcing her to run, so why was big data involved?
"You can take a look—" the system said, opening Gu Luoqi's personal homepage.
This time it was much more thorough than the last time, including not only height, weight, body fat, and heart rate, but also the health status of each organ.
Of course, what Gu Luoqi found hardest to let go of was the comment below—"weakling."
A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!
She saw Li Mingya, who was about to lie down, and asked rather dejectedly, "Comrade Li Mingya, may I ask how many kilometers you usually run in the morning?" This was a crucial witness who could prove the unreasonableness of the system's requirements.
"About five kilometers, and I'll run a little longer if I have time," Li Mingya said casually.
Gu Luoqi: Okay, my ideals have been shattered.
"You're amazing. If I ran that much, I'd be exhausted." Gu Luoqi said with a dejected look.
"Actually, you get used to it, and after a morning run, you feel much more energetic and less likely to fall asleep in class," Li Mingya said with a smile.
"So you usually get up so early to go for a morning run?" Gu Luoqi asked, slightly surprised.
She remembered that Li Mingya usually got up quite early, and sometimes he would bring breakfast for Xiao Chengzi and her, those two lazybones.
"Yeah, it's just a pity that I don't usually have that much time, so I just run a few laps." Li Mingya's tone seemed to carry a lot of regret.
Upon hearing this, Gu Luoqi's admiration for her was like a surging river, endless and boundless. This self-awareness and self-discipline were something Gu Luoqi could never learn.
And you wouldn't believe that such a quiet girl could run more than five kilometers.
"Host, do you have any objections now?" The system looked at the living, breathing child of someone else.
"No." Gu Luoqi's face remained calm.
She opened her phone to report her day to Xiao Chengzi, only to find that Qi Sheng had already replied to her message.
Gu Luoqi immediately replied to his message, "Could you bring me a notebook? I forgot to bring it last time."
Then, remembering that Qi Sheng wasn't an easy person to talk to, she added, "Please."
Qi Sheng replied quickly this time, "Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm going to sleep."
"Okay, okay, thank you." Gu Luoqi instantly felt that her mood wasn't so bad anymore.
As for tomorrow's morning run, it might not be so bad.
If a gentle girl like Li Mingya can do it, perhaps she can too…
Okay, I can't fool myself anymore. Oh well, I'll just leave it to fate.
At this moment, Qi Sheng, who was at home, was drying her wet hair with a towel in one hand and holding her phone in the other. She lowered her eyes slightly, suppressing the shimmering light in them, and then put the phone on the table and started drying her hair.
Gu Luoqi's sleep that night was definitely not good. She dreamed that she went for a run, feeling half-dead and drenched in sweat, but she had to keep running with her heavy legs. The system was also urging her not to slack off.
She tripped and fell without noticing, and what's even stranger is that the playground turned into a slope, and she rolled down the track. She doesn't know how long she rolled before she finally stopped.
She struggled to her feet, her body covered in wounds, only to find herself in front of someone. She looked up and saw Qi Sheng. Just as she was about to ask him for help, she saw Qi Sheng give her a cruel smile.
Gu Luoxi suddenly woke up, feeling her heart racing and her head throbbing.
"Host?" The system sensed that something was wrong with her.
"I had a nightmare." Gu Luoqi held her forehead and realized that there was some sweat on it.
"The host may be under a lot of stress lately," the system said calmly after checking Gu Luoqi's physical condition.
It silently considered whether it should lighten her study load.
She looked out the window and realized it was already getting light. "What time is it?"
"It's 6 o'clock. The host can rest a little longer now," the system replied.
It decided to lighten her workload; sometimes being too eager for quick success isn't a good thing, and it wasn't such an extreme rule.
"I dreamt that Qi Sheng would eat people!" Gu Luoqi didn't rest immediately; she was bothered by this nightmare.
System: "..." What kind of grudge does this child have against Qi Sheng?
"You might have some prejudice against Qi Sheng."
Gu Luoqi asked resentfully, "Then why don't you say that Qi Sheng has caused me psychological trauma?"
After exchanging a few words with the system, she felt much better, so she continued to lie down and rest. Since it was Saturday, the system allowed her to sleep a little longer.
However, perhaps due to the nightmare, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Finally, she managed to fall asleep for a short while, and then Li Mingya woke her up to go for a run.
She dragged her tired body to her feet, her face covered in dark circles, her eyes barely open, looking half-dead.
"Didn't you sleep well last night? You don't look well." Li Mingya said with concern.
"Yeah, I had a nightmare." Gu Luoqi's voice was a little hoarse, a stark contrast to her usual loud voice.
"Why don't you skip it today and catch up on some sleep?" Li Mingya said understandingly.
"I think I'll go, everyone's up." Gu Luoqi said, then yawned.
Actually, she didn't want to go either, but it was a task assigned by the system, and she had no choice but to do it no matter how unwilling she was.
"Are you really alright?" Li Mingya asked, somewhat doubtful.
"It's nothing!" Gu Luoqi forced herself to be cheerful; she wasn't a weak or frail person.
