Cry louder, I can't hear you.

When Yun Qiao changed her clothes and went out, Shen Suwei had already changed.

Seeing him in clothes other than a suit for the first time, Yun Qiao was quite surprised and couldn't help but stare at him for a while.

She has such a great figure, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and incredibly long legs. She must have a nine-head body proportion!

Shen Suwei looks very tall, probably around 1.88 or 1.89 meters?

Yun Qiao isn't very sensitive to people's height, but Shen Suwei is almost half a head taller than Chi Zhou.

The system says the male lead's height is set at 1.83 meters, so Shen Suwei must be at least 1.88 meters tall, right?

Yun Qiao isn't short, standing at 1.68 meters tall. Every time you talk to him, you have to look up when you're close to him, which makes you seem particularly unimpressive.

"What are you looking at?"

Noticing the gaze, he suddenly turned his head to look at him.

Yun Qiao felt a little uneasy, cleared her throat, and quickly changed the subject:

"How do I train? Which equipment do I need to use?"

"Choose what interests you."

Let her choose?

Yun Qiao didn't stand on ceremony with him and went over to check each instrument one by one.

To be honest, she didn't know anything about any equipment except for treadmills.

I've never been to a gym, neither in my past life nor this one.

Yun Qiao walked from beginning to end, but still couldn't decide which one to use.

The main problem is that she's genuinely not interested in exercise. Just looking at these machines makes her lose all motivation...

However, another space was discovered at the very back of the gym.

The door was closed when I came in.

So much so that she didn't notice that there was a lot of equipment inside.

It looks a bit strange.

Yun Qiao turned to look at Shen Suwei: "Can we choose from those inside?"

Shen Suwei looked at her with a strange expression.

Yun Qiao asked, puzzled, "Can't I choose?"

His gaze deepened, but only for a moment before he lowered his eyes.

"Of course, whatever you like."

Yun Qiao felt that his words were a bit strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

But the equipment inside was indeed different from that outside. Yun Qiao was a little curious, and she couldn't wait to push open the half-closed door and go in.

This room felt much more oppressive than the outside.

Perhaps it's because there are no floor-to-ceiling glass walls or windows, and the lighting is rather dim?

"What is this?"

Yun Qiao pointed to a frame that looked to be about two meters tall.

It looks like a pull-up exercise, but there are a pair of leather wrist straps below the bar, which is a bit strange.

I didn't see this on the pull-up equipment at the school.

Pull-ups.

Is that really true?

Yun Qiao was somewhat surprised.

"So what's this for?"

She then pointed to the straps on both sides.

Shen Suwei did not answer this time.

Yun Qiao received no response and turned to look at him in confusion.

He stood in the doorway, half of his body hidden in the dim light, making it impossible to see his expression.

"You didn't know either, did you?"

"A pull-up assist device," he said softly, his voice low and calm. "When you're too weak to do pull-ups, you can use this to stabilize your arms and use it to complete the movement."

"There's such an auxiliary design?" Yun Qiao's eyes lit up immediately. She liked this kind of equipment that could help her be lazy.

"Then I'll choose this one!"

Shen Suwei still did not respond immediately.

After a moment of silence, he spoke, his voice lower than before:

"……Can."

Yun Qiao walked to the shelf, looked up at the pair of leather straps, and reached out to grab them. But she quickly ran into a problem.

Putting aside the fact that the way the strap is fastened looks complicated, she simply can't operate both hands at the same time. If one hand is fastened, what about the other?

No wonder they need a trainer with them when they go to the gym.

Without a coach, some of the equipment is simply unusable.

"How do I use it?" Yun Qiao turned back to Shen Suwei for help again.

Unexpectedly, he caught up with them at some point.

He was standing right behind her, very close.

She turned her head, and her forehead almost bumped into his lips.

She was startled and quickly took a half step back.

Perhaps it was because the room was too quiet, but Shen Suwei's gaze seemed to carry an inexplicable danger.

She was having second thoughts, wondering if she should just go out.

He suddenly stepped to her right and picked up one of the straps.

"Put your wrist in."

His tone carried a hint of brooking no argument.

Yun Qiao hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her wrist and obediently put it into the leather strap.

The inside of the leather felt cool against her skin, and Yun Qiao couldn't help but shiver.

Shen Suwei paused slightly in his action of fastening the metal tower buckle.

His fingertips paused for a moment on her wrist, then continued to tighten slowly.

"The other hand." The voice was low and hoarse.

Yun Qiao obediently stretched out her other hand.

The same steps were followed, and the sound of the metal buckles snapping together was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

With a "click," and then another "click."

Both wrists were quickly immobilized.

Yun Qiao tried to tug at it, but suddenly found that it was extremely firm and she couldn't break free with her own strength.

Moreover, the design of this buckle means that she cannot untie it herself; another person must untie it for her to gain her freedom.

Yun Qiao frowned slightly. This design is so strange, why did they make it like this?

Just as she was feeling something was amiss, Shen Suwei moved something, and the strap suddenly rose a few centimeters in height.

Yun Qiao's arms were slightly raised, and her toes went from freely touching the ground to barely touching it.

"Shen... Shen Suwei?" The feeling of semi-weightlessness made Yun Qiao panic instinctively, and her voice trembled.

"If you don't raise the height, will you do pull-ups while standing on the ground?"

That seems to be true.

But why is he still raising the price?

The height of the strap increased by a few centimeters.

Yun Qiao is almost completely suspended in mid-air.

Her entire weight rested on the two straps, which tightened her wrists, but the leather straps had padding on the inside so it didn't hurt. However, the feeling of being suspended in mid-air made her panic.

"I think... this is a bit strange."

Like a puppet hanging on a shelf, ready to be manipulated at will...

"It's no wonder you're holding onto the bar above."

Only after he pointed it out did Yun Qiao realize that she hadn't been holding onto the pole and was being suspended in mid-air by the straps, which was certainly strange...

but.

"I'm suspended in mid-air, how can I grasp it?"

Yun Qiao's original intention was to remind him to put her down first.

Unexpectedly, he looked up at her and asked, "Do you want me to carry you?"

Yun Qiao was startled and instinctively wanted to refuse.

But the system's voice rang out at just the right moment: [A rare opportunity for physical contact, quickly agree!]

Yun Qiao hesitated for a moment, but the words of refusal stuck in her throat. She could only force herself to nod and say, "Thank you for your trouble..."

Shen Suwei's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if he was surprised that she would agree.

But he didn't move immediately. Instead, his gaze swept casually over her, and he spoke softly:

"Do you want it from the front or the back?"

Yun Qiao: ?

Yun Qiao was speechless. Why was she worrying about this now? She urged, "Whatever, just hug whoever you want."

"Well... let's go to the back then." His gaze fell on Yun Qiao's chest, which was slightly protruding due to being tied up, and his expression showed a hint of trouble. "The front... doesn't seem very convenient."
