Jiang Xu: "It's broad daylight, and your brother Xu isn't even making plans?"
Gu Li looked at Jiang Xu, paused for a moment, then laughed, "Keep the bleach you bought for yourself, look how yellow you are."
Jiang Xu: "It's over, you've dyed it."
Gu Li: "I was talking about measuring your wrist. What were you thinking?"
Jiang Xu found the conversation strangely familiar, even though the roles had been reversed.
Jiang Xu said, "I was thinking of touching her wrist, that's about right." He emphasized the word "touch" to remind Gu Li of her choice of words.
Gu Li noticed, “My hand is like a ruler, I measure everyone silently, come and reach out.”
Jiang Xu opened his hand and handed it to Gu Li, "Here, let me see if your ruler has markings."
Gu Li reached out and grasped the back of Jiang Xu's outstretched hand, looking into Jiang Xu's palm.
Jiang Xu: "You can even read palms?"
Gu Li immediately relaxed, "I just learned it last night."
Jiang Xu: "Did you figure anything out?"
Gu Li said, "I just realized I forgot what I was learning." After he finished speaking, he grasped Jiang Xu's wrist, not understanding his own sudden action.
It can't be that the other person's hands were too beautiful and you got carried away, right?
As Gu Li thought about it, it did seem to be a possibility.
Jiang Xu, "Go ahead and bravely present your data."
Gu Li said, "This first measurement is the initial data. I'll check it again next week after you've practiced, and then I'll know your results."
Jiang Xu: "Great, that's impressive."
Gu Li: "So-so."
Jiang Xu, "Third in the world?"
Gu Li and Jiang Xu exchanged glances. His hand, which was holding Jiang Xu's wrist, trembled slightly. He lowered his head and tried to suppress the corners of his lips.
Jiang Xu: "Just laugh if you want to. It's too tiring to hold it in."
Gu Li's shoulders trembled. He raised his head and suppressed his voice, "I don't want to laugh... hahahahaha..." But the laughter started to leak out as soon as he finished the word 'laugh'.
Jiang Xu looked at the other person's smile, and the corners of his own lips began to turn up as well. "Really?" he said with a smile in his voice. "I don't want to smile. Oh no, I must be hallucinating."
Gu Li squeezed Jiang Xu's wrist, and Jiang Xu felt his wrist tighten for a moment.
Gu Li: "Yes, you're hallucinating."
Jiang Xu: "I even had a hallucination. How come someone pinched me?"
Gu Li shifted her gaze to the aisle. "The food was served a little slowly this time. You must be hungry to be like this. Be sure to eat more later."
Jiang Xu followed Gu Li's gaze and said, "Eat more, so we can measure the data better next time."
Gu Li: "Yeah, let's wait."
After leaving the restaurant, turn left and walk a couple of steps to the elevator. The gym is on the third floor. Jiang Xu pressed the elevator button. "Shall we work out together from now on?"
Gu Li: "I'll try my best."
Jiang Xu said, "I will work hard to become stronger even when you're not here." He looked like he had a long way to go.
Gu Li echoed, "It is my dereliction of duty as a teacher not to properly supervise you."
Jiang Xu, "lived up to expectations."
Gu Li said, "I feel ashamed to have been entrusted with this task."
Just as they finished arguing, the elevator doors opened, and right in front of them was the gym's reception area, with a large "fly" sign hanging on the facade.
The gym was huge, occupying the entire third floor. As soon as the two arrived at the front desk, they were greeted, "Hello, is this your first time at our gym?"
Jiang Xu: "Mm."
"Please go to that room. Someone will explain the details to you." The girl at the front desk pointed to a room on one side.
Jiang Xu: "Okay, thank you."
Jiang Xu and Gu Li briefly learned about the situation. The introducer then led them on a tour of the venue, and the salesperson kept boasting about how good the equipment and venue were.
Jiang Xu: "It's alright."
Gu Li: "It'll do."
The salesman's face stiffened, but he forced a smile. "Our place has the best venue among the surrounding places, and the price-performance ratio is absolutely the best, really!" He said sincerely.
The introducer could tell from the two of them that they were well-off, and that closing this deal would definitely bring in a commission. He didn't give up because of their attitude and continued to work hard to promote the product.
Jiang Xu, "How is it?"
Gu Li said, "It'll do." The matchmaker thought the deal might fall through, "But let's do it this way, get the card."
The introducer went from sadness to joy, his expression somewhat dazed, but his reaction was quick: "Okay, please follow me, both of you."
"Are you both going to sign up for a membership?" The salesperson asked, holding up several gym brochures. "This annual membership is quite cost-effective, but if you'd like to try it out first, the monthly or quarterly memberships are also suitable."
Jiang Xu: "Two tickets, for a year."
"Okay, please wait a moment, both of you." The introducer hurried off to prepare, and as soon as he left, a waiter brought over two new glasses of water.
Gu Li said, "He's quite clever, which saves us trouble."
Jiang Xu: "Yeah, the venue and facilities are alright, though."
Gu Li said, "Sigh, I'm sorry to have to make you suffer. I'll make sure you live a good life later."
Jiang Xu: "Save your money, I'm paying for your meal, don't you dare try to take it."
Gu Li: "You reacted quickly. How could an older brother spend his younger brother's money?"
"I really feel bad, so I decided to treat you." Jiang Xu picked up the water bottle on the table and handed it to Gu Li. "Here, have some water."
Gu Li took it. "Are you trying to shut me up with water?"
Jiang Xu: "No way, I'm just clearing your throat."
The person who introduced the cards came running over with a smile on their face, holding two cards in their hands. "It's all done. You can use the cards anytime during business hours. You can also get a replacement if you lose them, so don't worry."
Jiang Xu: "Okay, what's the payment method?"
“Just scan the code,” he pointed to a QR code, “This is it, you can use Alipay or WeChat.”
Jiang Xu replied, "Hmm." With a 'beep', he scanned the QR code and paid.
The introducer continued, "Look at me, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Deng Hao. I'm usually here. You can find me or any of the staff if you need anything. I'll go and issue you two invoices now."
Gu Li held the water and drank it. As soon as the person left and the door closed, he spoke up, "Jiang Xu."
Jiang Xu noticed that he looked quite serious when he called his name. "What's wrong?"
Gu Li said, “You look so charming when you pay.” He gave Jiang Xu a sly smile.
Jiang Xu, "..." He shouldn't have thought this person was going to say something serious. "Hmm, you'll be even more charming next time."
Gu Li: "Please don't. Give me a chance to be charming next time."
And coincidentally, the opportunity came immediately.
They entered the driving school's lobby through the back door connecting the driving school and the school. On the left side of the lobby were the registration offices, while on the right were the offices for handling various information and document issues that arose after registration. The most frequently encountered issue was changing instructors.
Jiang Xu and Gu Li went to the left to register. The registration process was simple: they just had to fill in basic information, have their photos taken, and pay a fee.
After filling out and submitting the information, it's time to take a photo. You need to wear dark-colored clothes for the photo.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xu was wearing a beige short-sleeved shirt.
Coincidentally, Gu Li was wearing a pure black short-sleeved shirt.
