Chapter 54 Chen Xiaomiao and the Fitness Coach
Around 4 p.m., Chen Xiaomiao returned home.

Lu Yuan was curled up on the sofa playing games when he heard the door open. Without looking up, he asked, "You're back?"

"Ah."

Chen Xiaomiao responded, carrying two shopping bags in her hand.

Lu Yuan caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, paused in his actions, and the little character in the game was shot down.

He simply put down his phone and stepped forward to tease, "Hey, what a rare thing! You stingy guy are actually willing to pluck some feathers?"

Chen Xiaomiao scratched her head sheepishly and put the bag on the coffee table: "It didn't cost much. It was a gift from Sister Song Jia."

Lu Yuan leaned closer to take a look. One bag contained a strangely shaped doll, and the other bag contained a small white fan about the size of a palm.

Without a doubt, that doll must have been given to Chen Xiaomiao by Song Jia because she had bad luck opening blind boxes and got a duplicate.

As for this fan...

Chen Xiaomiao picked up the small fan like it was a treasure, went straight into the kitchen, and plugged it into an unused socket in the corner.

Press the switch, and the fan blades begin to whir, blowing out a weak breeze.

She grinned, revealing a satisfied, simple smile, and turned to Lu Yuan, saying, "The shopkeeper said this thing is energy-efficient; it won't cost a penny to run all night."

The weather in Jiangcheng has started to cool down, but once the stove is turned on in the kitchen, the heat is still unbearable.

The kitchen wasn't without a kitchen air conditioner, but ever since Chen Xiaomiao learned that it consumed electricity, she never turned it on again, preferring to sweat profusely in the kitchen.

Lu Yuan knew that some of the ideas had already taken root in the little girl's mind, and there was no point in trying to persuade her, so he simply didn't bother to say anything more.

He then asked, "How was your day?"

Chen Xiaomiao shook her head, not very interested: "Let it be."

"What's wrong?"

"Sister Song Jia did all the buying the whole time, and I just watched from the side."

Chen Xiaomiao sighed and complained, "We also went to a green, rubbish shop and drank two glasses of dark, bitter water. Sister Song Jia said it was... coffee."

Lu Yuan was amused by what he heard, but suddenly a question arose in his mind.

The two girls went to a famous luxury shopping mall in Jiangcheng today.

Song Jia's family is indeed well-off, but not to the point where she can buy luxury goods like they're nothing. She always knows how to spend money wisely.

Besides, hasn't she always said that she's unemployed and has no regular income?

Did I recently... win the lottery?
Just as Lu Yuan was wondering what was going on, Chen Xiaomiao suddenly sat down next to him, moved closer to him, and hesitated, looking awkward.

“Lu Yuan…”

"Ok?"

"I...I want to..." Chen Xiaomiao's face turned bright red, "I want to...train...my body..."

"fitness?".

"Yes, yes, yes, it's fitness!"

Chen Xiaomiao nodded repeatedly, feeling as if she had been granted a pardon.

Lu Yuan sighed helplessly.

Song Jia had already complained to him about all of Chen Xiaomiao's thoughts at the gym. He really didn't expect that this little girl would have a day when she was anxious about her figure.
"Row."

Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "I can teach you a thing or two without any problem." From his freshman to junior year of college, Lu Yuan liked to go to the gym after class and was quite fit.

But ever since he found Chen Xiaomiao, his mind has been elsewhere, and he rushes home as fast as he can after class every day.

Alas, women have ruined me...

Upon hearing that Lu Yuan could teach her, Chen Xiaomiao excitedly asked, "Lu Yuan, when do we start?"

Seeing that Chen Xiaomiao looked like she wanted to start practicing right there, Lu Yuan stretched out two fingers and flicked her forehead lightly.

"What's the rush! You're still sick and weak, why are you doing all this unnecessary trouble?"

Chen Xiaomiao covered her forehead and muttered softly, "I feel energetic..."

"You think it doesn't count, but what I say counts."

Lu Yuan put on a stern face and adopted the demeanor of the head of the family: "This is called 'haste makes waste,' do you understand? You should rest for two more days and wait until you are completely recovered before we talk about it."

Seeing Lu Yuan's resolute attitude, Chen Xiaomiao dared not argue any further and could only nod dejectedly.

"Oh... then, you'll need to rest for a few days?"

"It depends on the situation, at least two days. I also need to prepare the equipment."

"equipment?"

"It's just a tool for practicing martial arts."

After sending Chen Xiaomiao to rest, Lu Yuan took out his phone and opened an online shopping app.

"Dumbbells... for girls, start with the smaller size, so you don't strain your arm when you turn around."

He picked out a pink, plastic-coated dumbbell, the lightest kind, and tossed it into his shopping cart.

"A yoga mat is a must; the floor is too hard, we don't want it to break."

Add to cart.

"Elastic band..."

Add to cart.

Lu Yuan was engrossed in shopping when a "You May Also Like" recommendation popped up on the screen.

A huge, brightly colored yoga ball.

The product promotional image shows a hot model lying on a ball in a difficult pose, revealing her curves.

Lu Yuan's fingertips paused, and a certain image uncontrollably surfaced in his mind—Chen Xiaomiao, wearing the same tight-fitting shorts and t-shirt, was lying on the ball in the same position, her little face flushed red, and she was shouting at him.

"Lu Yuan, take a look, is this okay?"

"Cough...hehe."

Lu Yuan chuckled at the absurd thoughts in his mind and casually clicked to place an order.

After finishing all this, Lu Yuan put down his phone, feeling a strange sense of anticipation.

Of course, he was simply thinking about Chen Xiaomiao's health.

Hmm... very pure!
