Regardless of whether the app belongs to Du Juan, Sheng Yan originally planned to train hard, eat well, and sleep well, so the tasks assigned by the app were not really tasks for him.
Moreover, this app is indeed very effective. Except for the two wishes of wanting to grow to 1.9 meters tall and suppressing Qin Zigui, which were not fulfilled because the tasks were not completed, all the other wishes came true.
Sheng Yan still had some trust in this app; at least he felt reassured after the app approved his wish each time.
So the task still needs to be done.
But the closed training starts tomorrow, and I won't be able to see Qin Zigui. How can I give him a goodnight kiss?
Sheng Yan thought for a moment, then carefully opened Baidu and entered: [Can long-distance couples kiss goodnight?]
Then the answer appeared: [Why not just call and say "Mua"?]
Sheng Yan: "..."
? ? ?
Is it even human to do something so shameful?!
Sheng Yanguang just imagined the scenario and got goosebumps from feeling nauseous.
Even if he's gay now, it doesn't change the fact that he's a tough, manly guy!
He would never do something so mushy!
Whoever wants to celebrate their birthday can celebrate it; if you can't get time off, then forget it!
Sheng Yan thought for a moment, then tossed his phone aside, closed his eyes, and prepared to go to sleep.
As soon as I closed my eyes, all I could see in my mind was the tragic scene of Qin Zigui doing his math homework alone at home on his birthday.
Extremely pitiful, extremely desolate, extremely sorrowful.
So Sheng Yan could only keep his eyes closed for less than three seconds before he couldn't keep them closed any longer. After cursing under his breath, he sat up, picked up his phone, and walked to the balcony.
As soon as the call connected, before Qin Zigui could speak, he quickly made a "Mua" sound and hung up.
He felt he had done everything he could and was about to go back to sleep when his phone vibrated.
[Wishful Thinking App]: The task was not approved due to a perfunctory attitude.
Sheng Yan: "...???"
Is this even allowed?!
This garbage app must be doing this on purpose!
If it weren't for the fact that this app had really helped him a lot, Sheng Yan would have uninstalled it long ago.
But this app actually helped him a lot, so Sheng Yan could only conclude that Qin Zigui might indeed be some kind of destined person for him, and then gritted his teeth and dialed the number again.
He dialed the phone with extreme resentment and irritability, but the voice that answered was extremely gentle: "Hello, Ayan, what's wrong?"
Sheng Yan's resentment instantly subsided, then dissipated most of it. He thought, "Forget it, let's just pretend it wasn't for the app, but something I originally wanted to give to Qin Zigui."
But once the resentment dissipated, that feeling of embarrassment returned. Sheng Yan looked down and plucked a leaf from a potted plant on the balcony: "It's nothing, I just wanted to say goodnight to you."
Is this all?
Qin Zigui asked very patiently.
His voice is naturally cold and low. When he speaks in a slow tone, you get the feeling that he is a very aloof person who is willing to patiently coax you and make you feel like you are the only one who is loved.
Sheng Yan's temper completely subsided, and he lowered his head to pluck another leaf: "There are others."
"What?"
"This is it."
After saying that, before Qin Zigui could answer, Sheng Yan quickly gave him another kiss.
There was a slight pause on the other end of the phone, then a laugh: "Why did you suddenly decide to call and kiss me?"
"It's because it's your birthday..." Sheng Yan replied, but realized he almost let something slip, so he quickly corrected himself, "It's because you couldn't come back for your birthday, so I'm making it up to you."
Qin Zigui seemed neither surprised nor angry, and simply said calmly, "It's okay, I celebrate my birthday the same every year anyway, it's no big deal."
"Yeah, I celebrate my birthday the same every year, it's no big deal. I'll hang up now, I'm going to sleep." Sheng Yan pretended to be nonchalant, but he was afraid of spoiling the surprise he planned to give Qin Zigui, so he hurriedly prepared to hang up.
Qin Zigui said, "But I'm still a little sad, so could you make it up to me with a goodnight kiss?"
Sheng Yan: "..."
How could this person be so unreasonable?!
Never mind, if there's one, there'll be two, and then there will be three.
Sheng Yan steeled himself, his face flushed, and quickly gave Qin Zigui another kiss. But this kiss was met with Qin Zigui's soft "Goodnight, I love you." Sheng Yan immediately hung up the phone in a fluster.
Holy crap, is dating really this exciting? My heart is pounding like it's going to jump out of my chest.
Just then, a faint voice came from behind: "Ha, men."
Sheng Yan was immediately startled. He looked up and saw Wu Shan. He breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you haunting us in the middle of the night?"
"Who on earth is causing all this trouble in the middle of the night? Why aren't you sleeping properly? Why are you sneaking onto the balcony to call your girlfriend?" Wu Shan had a "I knew it" look on his face.
Sheng Yan, however, stated matter-of-factly: "I didn't call my girlfriend."
"You're smiling so sweetly even though you're not on the phone with your girlfriend?"
"You're the one with a lovesick heart. Anyway, I didn't call my girlfriend. Believe it or not." Sheng Yan felt no guilt whatsoever, and walked straight past Wu Shan, his body completely open and honest.
As a result, the blush on her ears didn't fade at all. Wu Shan could only shake his head and click his tongue twice: "Men in love are just soft-hearted and stubborn."
I have no idea who this girl is, that she could make the most handsome, richest, and most clueless guy on their shooting team so infatuated.
She's probably a femme fatale.
This conclusion was quickly proven.
The next morning, Sheng Yan, who had never missed a training session in the district team before, surprisingly asked Coach Li for a day off on the 8th.
The price is that you have to get up an hour earlier than others every morning, finish three hours later than others every night, and have a higher passing standard for the weekly assessment.
It's important to understand that the training intensity of the intensive training camp is already terrifyingly high, and the assessment standards have already exceeded the standards for national second-level athletes. If we add any more to it, let alone Sheng Yan, even those who have been consistently training might not be able to withstand it.
Sheng Yan agreed without hesitation.
The result of the increased training workload was that by the time Sheng Yan returned to his dormitory at night, it was already past 10 p.m.
Even though I had changed my clothes twice during the day, my T-shirt was still soaked through. When I took off my shoes, I could clearly see the blisters on my feet. My arms were also obviously sore that I could hardly lift them. My physical strength was clearly exhausted to the extreme.
This is only the first day; how are we going to get through the next few days?
Wu Shan felt a pang of pain just looking at him: "Brother Yan, what's so important that you had to take leave on the 8th? Is it really necessary?"
Just as Sheng Yan was about to answer, the dormitory door was pushed open.
Xue Yi stood at the door with a tube of ointment in her hand. She glanced at the blisters on Sheng Yan's feet and handed it to him, saying, "Here, take this. The 8th is Qin Zigui's birthday, right?"
Sheng Yan ignored him, simply taking out the medicine box Qin Zigui had prepared for him from the bedside table, then taking out an identical tube of ointment from the box. He then somewhat clumsily applied the ointment to himself following the instructions on the sticky note Qin Zigui had written, without ever raising his head throughout the entire process.
Even if Wu Shan was stupid, he could tell that something was off between the two of them, so he immediately smiled and took the ointment from Xue Yi's hand: "Hey, how did our Brother Yi know I needed this? Thanks, brother, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."
After saying that, he looked at Sheng Yan and said, "Brother Yan, if you don't take a shower soon, there won't be any hot water left. Hurry up and go take a shower."
Sheng Yan understood and slowly entered the bathroom with the things in his hand.
Wu Shan was left laughing and joking with Xue Yi.
Xue Yi glanced at Qin Zigui's numerous writings on the medicine box, then turned and left without saying anything more.
Wu Shan immediately appeared in a flash at the bathroom door: "Holy crap, Brother Yan, who is that Qin so-and-so? Your girlfriend? You really sacrificed yourself for love?!"
Sheng Yan paused slightly as he turned on the tap. Yes, but not entirely.
He couldn't very well tell Wu Shan that he had a boyfriend, not a girlfriend, and that the person named Qin Zigui was his boyfriend.
Otherwise, given Wu Shan's talkativeness and gossip skills, the news would probably have spread throughout the entire Nanwu Lower City before he even left the training base.
So all I could do was reply irritably, "Stop gossiping all day long, mind your own business!"
After saying that, he turned on the tap and expressed his dissatisfaction with the sound of running water.
Wu Shan, standing outside the door, shook his head. Sure enough, this was the power of love. He would definitely have to find out who this femme fatale, Qin, was when he got the chance.
Sheng Yan had no idea what he was thinking and didn't care, because he had neither the time nor the energy.
His willingness to increase the training workload was not entirely for Qin Zigui's sake. Another reason was that his usual training intensity was much lower than that of the other team members, so only more intense and grueling training could help him regain his form and catch up with his opponents in the shortest amount of time.
After training each day, I basically don't even have the strength to speak.
The only time I could relax was when I would secretly say goodnight to Qin Zigui on the balcony every night before bed.
Sheng Yan felt motivated whenever he heard Qin Zigui's voice.
He didn't know why he worked hard before; he practiced shooting simply because he liked it. But now he understands very well that he doesn't want to be a lazy, idle rich kid. He wants to find his own value and meaning, to be a good enough person so that he can have the confidence and ability to keep the person he loves and be with him openly and honestly.
The once lazy and picky young master started getting up at five o'clock every morning. No matter what the cafeteria cooked, he would eat it on time as long as it could replenish his energy. After eating, he would take out his vocabulary words to memorize. After digesting them, he would go to training. He would train until the gatekeeper started to urge him to return to the dormitory. After making a phone call with Qin Zigui, he would quickly wash up and fall asleep.
On the day of the assessment, the 7th, I finally passed the assessment with a perfect score of second place.
Coach Li was very pleased.
After all, Sheng Yan has fallen far behind. There is another seed player in the city's second team who is about to enter the city's first team and has the hope of going to the national team next year. It is really rare for Sheng Yan to be only slightly behind him in just one week.
Moreover, while this kid was talented before, he was full of spoiled brat habits. This time, he's much more sensible and deserves a lot of praise.
Coach Li had prepared a lot of words, intending to praise Sheng Yan, but after waiting with a smile for a long time, Sheng Yan packed his things and ran straight to the door without even glancing at him.
Coach Li quickly shouted at his retreating figure, "Sheng Yan! Why are you running? Didn't I give you leave?"
"You only granted me half a day off, but I have to be back by tomorrow afternoon. If I don't run now, it will be too late!" Sheng Yan didn't even turn his head and ran all the way.
Tomorrow afternoon, the city's second team and the district team will have an exchange match, and he has to come back. So his plan is to have a candlelight dinner with Qin Zigui tonight, watch a romantic movie together, and then at midnight, he will arrange for drones to spell out "Happy Birthday" in the night sky, which will surely move Qin Zigui to tears.
To plan all this, Sheng Yan kept his eyes glued to his phone while eating, researching numerous guides to create this most romantic birthday ceremony.
She only got a table at that popular restaurant after seeing Lin Qian's post on her WeChat Moments and thinking it was really good. She spent a lot of money to hire a scalper to help her get a table there. In order to trick Qin Zigui into going, she even told a little lie with Qin Ru to give Qin Zigui a surprise. She even ordered a bouquet of flowers.
Sheng Yan felt that his first date plan was absolutely perfect.
But when he appeared at the restaurant entrance, he suddenly became a little nervous.
I've been training really hard lately. I wonder if I've gotten a tan. I haven't cut my hair, and my clothes aren't new. Will Qin Zigui think I've become ugly, or that I'm not taking things seriously enough?
Sheng Yan stood outside the restaurant and straightened his hair in front of the glass window.
The young lady greeting him at the door couldn't help but chuckle when she saw him: "Young man, you're already very handsome, and the flowers are beautiful too, so hurry up and go in, don't keep your girlfriend waiting too long."
Was my reaction really that obvious?
Sheng Yan hid the red rose in his hand behind his back, lowered his head somewhat uncomfortably, and walked inside.
He took two steps, then stopped and looked back at the young woman: "Am I really okay like this? There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
After receiving a positive answer, Sheng Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then adjusted his posture and continued walking towards his reserved seat.
It's good that there are no problems.
There are roses, candlelight, dinner, and just the two of them—this date is sure to be a success.
He can definitely make Qin Zigui feel a sense of security from her boyfriend.
At the very least, Qin Zigui needs to understand that although she feels it's better to keep the relationship secret for now, she absolutely does not mean she doesn't want to have a serious relationship with him.
The moment Sheng Yan saw Qin Zigui's back, he could already imagine Qin Zigui's surprised and touched expression at his sudden appearance.
Thinking of this, Sheng Yan quickened his pace slightly, clutching the roses in his hand, ready to catch Qin Zigui off guard the moment he turned around.
Three steps, two steps, one step away.
Qin Zigui made a move.
Sheng Yan immediately struck his most dashing pose, holding up the rose: "Qin..."
What are you doing here?
Before Sheng Yan could finish speaking, he noticed that Qin Zigui was looking in another direction.
In that direction, Chen Yu, Bai Linqian, Zhu Peng, and Gou You were looking at him with a mixture of innocence and curiosity.
The moment their eyes met, Sheng Yan suddenly wondered if Qin Zigui would bury four people for him.
