Xie Yaoyao lost 10 pounds.
The next morning.
Xie Yaoyao was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by a knock on the door. She opened her eyes, picked up her phone, and glanced at the time.
It's only six o'clock, who's knocking on her door so early?
Xie Yaoyao turned over, hugged Xie Ziyu, and tried to continue sleeping, when she heard three "knock knock knock" sounds in her ear.
Two short knocks followed by one long one, a very rhythmic knocking sound.
Xie Yaoyao knew whose style this was as soon as she heard it; she was a bit dramatic.
It seems she agreed to something with him last night.
Oh, right!
She agreed to go for a run with him in the morning, but does it really need to be this early?
They got back around midnight last night, and it's only 6 a.m. now. Niu Ma didn't expect her to go to bed so late and have to get up so early.
"Teacher Xie, are you up yet?"
Xie Yaoyao wants to hit someone!
She scratched her head and saw Xie Ziyu's brows furrowed, as if he was about to wake up.
She quickly got out of bed, without even putting on her shoes, and ran to open the door. "Get up, get up. Please wait for me for five minutes, I'll change my clothes and come out."
Huo Yanxi lowered his eyes.
My gaze swept over her; she was wearing a loose, colorful nightgown, soft like a marshmallow, and kind of cute.
"good."
The door closed in front of him. Xie Yaoyao changed into a tracksuit, casually tied her hair into a bun, and went out.
Huo Yanxi wasn't outside the door. She walked through the corridor to the living room and saw him leaning against the back of the sofa, his eyes downcast, seemingly lost in thought.
Xie Yaoyao walked over and stopped in front of him. "Mr. Huo, let's go."
Huo Yanxi looked up and saw her bun hairstyle. He pointed with his finger and said, "Let's go."
He turned around and walked towards the main gate first.
Xie Yaoyao shook her head, inexplicably feeling that his gesture of poking her bun earlier was too intimate.
As Huo Yanxi stepped out of the villa, the sky was just beginning to lighten, and the horizon was turning a pale white. He was holding a pair of pink knee pads in his hand.
He said, "Go sit down over there on the swing, and I'll help you put on your knee pads."
Xie Yaoyao paused for a moment, "It's okay, I don't need to wear knee pads."
Huo Yanxi grabbed her wrist, pulled her to the swing, and sat her down on her shoulder.
As the swing swayed gently, Xie Yaoyao quickly reached out and grabbed the chains on both sides.
Huo Yanxi knelt down in front of her, unfastened the Velcro straps on the knee brace, and put it on her while saying, "With your weight, running for a long time will hurt your knees. Wearing a knee brace will alleviate a lot of the pain."
Xie Yaoyao was a little unaccustomed to him doing this, and leaned over to take the other one, saying, "I can do it myself."
Huo Yanxi brushed her hand away, his expression indifferent. "It's alright, I made it fit better."
Xie Yaoyao could only sit there idly.
For some reason, she felt that Huo Yanxi was acting strangely. "Mr. Huo, is something the matter?"
Otherwise, why would he condescend to do everything personally for her?
Huo Yanxi unfastened the Velcro strap on another knee brace and quickly put it on her.
He squatted down in front of her, lifted his eyelids to look at her, and asked, "What could possibly be wrong with me?"
"For example, being possessed by someone?"
He used to despise her quite a bit; when she grabbed his wrist through her clothes, he flung her away.
It's really strange that he's being so friendly with her now.
Could it be...
What illegal or unethical things is he doing now, like eating kidneys or something?
He first lowered her guard, and once she completely trusted him, he took her to get kidneys.
Seeing her surprised and uncertain expression, Huo Yanxi had no idea what she was thinking.
He raised his hand and flicked her forehead, but was careful not to hit her too hard.
"What are you thinking about? It's already dawn. Stop being lazy and warm up with me first."
Xie Yaoyao: "..."
She rubbed her forehead, stood up, and warmed up with Huo Yanxi.
She deliberately hid behind him, mainly because when she jumped up, her whole body trembled, which was unsightly.
She didn't want Huo Yanxi to see her like this, and felt inexplicably inferior.
Huo Yanxi probably guessed what she was thinking, so he didn't turn around to look at her and continued demonstrating the movements in front of her.
It's actually similar to their warm-up exercises at the gym.
After warming up, the two ran side by side out of the villa. The villa area was quiet and secluded, with a special pedestrian running track for people in the wealthy neighborhood who love sports.
The two ran forward almost side by side, but after a short while, Xie Yaoyao was already out of breath.
Running outdoors is different from running on a treadmill; it puts a lot of strain on your cardiovascular system.
She is overweight, and her cardiopulmonary function is worse than that of the average person.
Huo Yanxi kept a close eye on her condition. If he noticed that she was not feeling well, he would slow down a little and wait for her to adjust her breathing.
Xie Yaoyao gasped for breath, "I'm so fat, I can't even run a few hundred meters."
Huo Yanxi said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. I will accompany you every day from now on. Once you get used to it, it won't be difficult."
Xie Yaoyao almost fainted. "Aren't you busy? Is the Huo family going bankrupt?"
Otherwise, how could he have so much time to mess with her all the time?
Huo Yanxi couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't worry, the Huo family won't go bankrupt."
"Then how come you have so much free time? Don't you need to travel for work? Don't you need to inspect the global branches and operations?" Xie Yaoyao was almost in despair.
Wasn't he quite busy the previous month? She rarely saw him.
Why did I suddenly have so much free time this month?
Huo Yanxi said, "The Huo Group is now a mature company. Even if I don't go to the company for three months, it will still operate normally."
Xie Yaoyao: "..."
Okay, you're awesome!
She resigned herself to her fate and ran forward. Huo Yanxi saw that she was having too much trouble running, so he taught her abdominal breathing techniques.
Xie Yaoyao just wanted to open her mouth wide and breathe.
After running two kilometers, she collapsed onto a bench to rest, almost like a dead dog.
Huo Yanxi saw that she was being unreasonable and there was really nothing he could do about it.
After resting for a while, the two ran another two kilometers before slowly walking back.
Xie Yaoyao was covered in sweat. When she returned to her room, she didn't even want to take a shower. Instead, she lay on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest.
After a week, Xie Yaoyao had gotten used to doing strength training every night and running every morning.
In addition to her usual dieting, she lost ten pounds when she stepped on the scale.
She was overjoyed and took a picture to send to Huo Yanxi.
"Mr. Huo, I've lost ten pounds. It's ten thousand yuan per pound. Transfer the money quickly!" Xie Yaoyao didn't feel embarrassed at all.
These were Huo Yanxi's own words, and she had lost weight through her own desperate efforts.
Then she deserves the 100,000.
Huo Yanxi was in a meeting at the company when his phone screen lit up and he saw a message from Xie Yaoyao.
He couldn't help but chuckle and transferred 500,000 yuan to her.
Xie Yaoyao quickly sent two question marks, "Mr. Huo, did you enter the wrong amount?"
Huo Yanxi ignored the stunned expressions of his subordinates and continued typing on his phone.
"You didn't mistype. The other 400,000 is your reward."
Xie Yaoyao posted several touching emojis with the caption, "President Huo, you are my second parents, I will follow you to the death."
Huo Yanxi: "..."
P.S.: If I've lost weight, it'll be impossible to hide it anymore.
