Chapter 138 He's My Brother-in-Law
The word "girlfriend" has appeared so frequently these past few days that Xiang Yun and Xu Songning are practically immune to it.
Xu Songning deliberately replied, "No, he's my brother-in-law. You've misunderstood, little sister."
"Brother-in-law?" Xiang Yun narrowed his eyes.
Xu Songning took his hand and smiled happily, "Yes, brother-in-law, did my sister know you brought me out to play?"
"She'll come and arrest you soon."
"..." The receptionist said she didn't hear anything, and that city people were too good at having fun.
"Um, do you need me to introduce the equipment?"
"No need." Xiang Yun was familiar with the brands of climbing equipment, so he picked out a set of quick-drying sportswear, a pair of climbing shoes, and a storage bag, and handed them to Xu Songning.
Xu Songning held the clothes up to his body and checked them; the size was just right.
Xiang Yun took a set for himself as well. The receptionist led them to change clothes. The men's and women's changing rooms were separated by a corridor.
Xu Songning changed into a light green sleeveless sports vest, white tapered trousers, and tied her long hair into a bun.
She turned around in front of the mirror. She had rarely worn sportswear since graduating from college. She usually exercised at home by doing yoga. Wearing this outfit, she looked like a vibrant and athletic college student.
Xu Songning took a picture in front of the mirror and sent it to Ms. Xu, who praised her. She then sent it to her three best friends' group chat. Zhou Qiao asked her who she went out with, but Lu Xiaomeng guessed she was in the control tower and didn't reply.
Xu Songning replied to Zhou Qiao with just two words.
secret.
The phone was put into the storage bag and then placed in the locker.
When she arrived at the venue, Xiang Yun had already changed into a black and white color-blocked tracksuit. The sleeveless top showed off his biceps and triceps during warm-up exercises, exuding a strong and defined physique.
No wonder he's a captain who pushes the stick; he's got a really good physique.
Hearing the noise, Xiang Yun turned around and saw Xu Songning in sportswear, a completely different person.
Compared to the mature and intellectual look of wearing business attire, this sportswear outfit makes her appear more youthful and energetic.
"It suits you perfectly."
"Brother Yun has great taste; the sizes are all accurate." Xu Songning showed them off, and she was extremely satisfied with herself.
Xiang Yun's gaze fell on her shoes. Perhaps because she didn't wear these kinds of sneakers often, Xu Songning hadn't pressed the Velcro tightly, and one corner was sticking up.
He walked over in silence, half-squatting in front of Xu Songning, his thick black hair clinging to his neck, his broad back curving into a beautiful arc.
Looking down at Xu Songning, you can see his prominent collarbone and the hollow in his collarbone, which makes you want to take a bite. She did indeed take a bite once, and just thinking about it makes her teeth itch.
Xiang Yun was unaware of Xu Songning's strange thoughts. He tore off the Velcro on the shoe, reattached it, and pressed it down.
"Okay, be careful when you're rock climbing."
"Hmm." Xu Songning looked away.
As the two were talking, the personal trainer knocked on the door and greeted them, "Hi, I'm your personal trainer. Who needs a lesson?"
“It’s me, Coach.” Xu Songning obediently raised his hand.
The personal trainer was followed by a safety officer who stood to the side after entering.
Xiang Yun warmed up on the side, occasionally glancing at Xu Songning's progress. Seeing that she couldn't climb the wall anytime soon, he decided to try it himself first. He hadn't practiced in a long time and was afraid he'd become rusty.
The safety officer helped him put on the safety rope and fasten the main lock and descender.
Xiang Yun stepped onto the starting rock face with his toes, reached out and grabbed the higher rock face, pushed off with force, and skillfully climbed the rock face, quickly crossing the warning line.
The wall is 13 meters high, and choosing the climbing route with a difficulty level of four is a piece of cake for Xiang Yun, who is not a novice.
As Xu Songning listened to the instruction, her gaze shifted to Xiang Yun, who was rock climbing. The private instructor, seeing that she was looking elsewhere, also looked over.
"Wow, this kid's pretty good. This isn't your first time rock climbing, is it? Thirteen meters is too easy for him," the personal instructor commented.
Xu Songning looked at the agile figure and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "Thirteen meters is really nothing."
Even at an altitude of 10,000 meters, Captain Xiang still managed to fly the plane up, didn't he?
At the top, there was a bell device. Xiang Yun stood on the rocky points with both feet, held onto one rocky point with one hand, and easily rang the bell with the other hand.
Upon reaching the finish line, Xiang Yun pushed off the rock face, released the support point, and the safety rope provided a buffering force, allowing Xiang Yun to descend slowly and land steadily on the ground.
Xu Songning clapped her hands, and the personal trainer joined in.
"Brother Yun, you're amazing!" Xu Songning praised.
“Young man, you can try a more difficult route. The green rock points are a difficulty level six route. I think you can definitely do it,” the personal trainer said with a smile.
Xiang Yun nodded. He was confident in himself and could handle any of the climbing walls in this area.
"How's your learning going? Can you get your work displayed yet?" Xiang Yun asked her.
I've heard enough of Xu Songning's theories; all that's left is to put them into practice.
"You have to listen to the coach when you climb the wall. Coach, can I go up now? I'm so envious watching him climb," Xu Songning said, pointing to the climbing wall with a pitiful tone.
The personal instructor took the safety rope equipment and said, "Okay! Let you go up and try. You're a beginner, so you definitely can't do as well as him. Be prepared."
“Okay!” Xu Songning replied, excitedly putting on her safety gear. Her personal trainer helped her test if it was locked properly and then taught her how to climb the wall.
Xu Songning learned very quickly, combining theory and practice well. After learning how to exert force to climb, she began climbing towards the first small goal set for her by her personal coach.
The yellow warning line overhead.
When Xiang Yun saw her starting to learn how to climb the wall, he stood by her side and gave her pointers when she didn't know where to step.
"I don't think I'm needed for this," the personal trainer joked with the safety officer. For them, it was a simple job; they got paid and someone else did their work for them.
Xu Songning easily climbed over the warning line by stepping on several rocky points, and gave Xiang Yun a high five.
“Okay, keep climbing and see if you can reach the top and ring the bell,” the personal trainer called out to her.
"Received!" Xu Songning responded enthusiastically, her enthusiasm overflowing as she achieved her small goal. She was confident she could conquer this little rock climbing challenge.
"Don't rush, take your time, I'm right here beside you." Xiang Yun soothed her excited emotions. Once people learn something, they become proud and ignore the risks it brings.
"If I fall, you'll have to catch me," Xu Songning joked.
"If he can't pick you up, we can, don't worry, girl!" the safety officer shouted from below.
"Let's climb," Xiang Yun patted her shoulder.
Xu Songning is not afraid of heights, but the higher she climbs, the more strained her legs and arms become. The rock holds are sparser than below and the angles are more tricky, so she has to be extremely careful and exert all her strength to climb.
When she got near the finish line, she felt like her arms and legs didn't belong to her anymore.
"Be careful when you land. The safety rope will cushion your fall, so don't worry too much. I'll go down first and catch you. Okay?"
Xiang Yun also came to her vicinity and rang the bell behind her.
"Catch me, Yun-ge." Xu Songning was so tired that he spoke very softly.
"good."
Xiang Yun landed first, and he, along with the safety officer and personal trainer, stood guard below. He made a hand gesture to direct Xu Songning.
"fall."
Xu Songning took a deep breath, glanced down, and her heart skipped a beat. She silently told herself, "It's okay, I'm just jumping down, it's simple."
She pushed off hard, the safety rope rustled, and she descended.
Just as he was about to land, Xu Songning suddenly felt a loss of strength. Before his feet even touched the ground, he lurched forward and crashed hard into the rock wall!
