Xiang Hengxi smiled. He liked her resilience and stubbornness, so he went in front of her and jumped with her.
Watching his agile jumping posture, Jing An'an was also inspired to keep up with his speed and managed to complete two hundred jumps.
But after she finished dancing, her legs went weak, and she sat down on the ground and couldn't get up.
"This won't do, you'll be in pain when you get up tomorrow." Xiang Hengxi reached out and pulled her up, forcibly helping her to sit up.
Jing An'an hated him to death. After getting up, she pushed him away and walked towards the training ground.
Xiang Hengxi followed her over and saw that she wanted to stretch but couldn't lift her legs onto the bar, so he helped her.
Jing An'an gasped, feeling like her knees were about to cramp.
"Stand still," Xiang Hengxi commanded, while using his hands to pat and knead her legs to relax the muscles.
"I don't need you, I can do it myself." Jing An'an didn't want to see this bastard who was tormenting her right now.
"You really hate me now, don't you?" Xiang Hengxi raised an eyebrow at her.
Jing An'an remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
“Your physique is too weak. You must train. There are no delicate Lin Daiyus in the army. Even if you are a civilian soldier, you must be able to protect yourself.” Xiang Hengxi continued to pat her leg without letting go, and then looked at her again, saying, “Of course, I will also do my best to protect you.”
Upon hearing the last sentence, Jing An'an's annoyance softened somewhat.
Under the bright sun, his face was resolute and strong, yet also seemed to have a touch of gentleness.
Jing An'an withdrew her gaze and let him relax her muscles and bones.
However, this gentleness did not last long. Fifteen minutes later, he said, "Go, run five laps of exercise."
"..." Jing An'an doubted whether the gentleness she saw was an illusion!
"I'll run with you. If you can keep going for five laps, I'll run twenty more." Xiang Hengxi smiled at her, ran towards the track, and then looked back to see if she was keeping up.
Jing An'an clenched her fist and ran to catch up with him.
After five laps, she stopped, breathing heavily, and bent over to catch her breath.
Xiang Hengxi remained relaxed and continued running laps.
Jing An'an looked at him, panting. She just couldn't understand it. He was the one who put in more effort last night. How could this person have so much energy? He was practically a monster.
"Hiss, ahh..." Jing An'an's calf suddenly started cramping, and she was in so much pain that she fell down and hugged her leg.
Xiang Hengxi noticed something was wrong with her and immediately ran over.
"Your leg is cramping?" He squatted down, calmly and gently pulled her hands away, straightening her leg, and said, "Don't curl your leg when you have a cramp. Where is it cramping? Behind your knee, in your calf, or on the sole of your foot?"
"Here." Jing An'an had never experienced such a painful cramp before; she was sweating from the pain.
Xiang Hengxi massaged her legs to relieve the pain. After a while, he looked up at her and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Jing An'an lowered her eyes as if she were avoiding something, pursed her lips, and shook her head.
Xiang Hengxi breathed a sigh of relief, helped her up, and seeing that her legs were still weak, he squatted down in front of her and patted his back: "Get on, I'll carry you back."
"No need." Jing An'an felt it wouldn't be good if others saw them.
Xiang Hengxi pulled her over and slung her over his back, then strode toward the dormitory building.
Jing An'an was embarrassed at first, but then she resigned herself to it, leaned on his shoulder, and looked at his profile.
His forehead was covered in sweat, and his face was still flushed from running. She had never seen him so nervous before.
Her heart seemed to settle down, knowing that he liked her.
"Husband," Jing An'an whispered, burying her face in his shoulder.
"What did you say?" Xiang Hengxi didn't hear clearly and turned to look at her.
"Fine, I didn't hear you." Jing An'an refused to repeat herself no matter what.
The sunlight cast long shadows of the two people, the shadows of the trees swayed, and life seemed peaceful.
