……

Luo Xiaoke's family gym is very well-equipped, mainly because her mother built a special fitness area for her when she wanted to lose weight. This is one of the places where Luo Xiaoke spends the most time during her rest periods.

The dumbbells in the distance were arranged according to their weight, all the benches were pushed back to their original positions, and the mirrors were polished to a shine. Because someone comes to clean every day, everything is very clean.

Luo Xiaoke stood in front of the barbell, stretching her body, "..."

The 140-kilogram barbell pressed against the ground, with the bar plates on both sides almost filling the bar sleeves, but she didn't seem very tense. She just moved her shoulders a little, then bent down and gripped the barbell.

Tighten your waist and abdomen, bend your knees slightly, and your originally soft body lines will instantly become taut.

The next second, the barbell was lifted off the ground.

The heavy lever moved smoothly upwards along her calves until she stood up completely, her shoulders and back relaxed, the whole process so clean that there was no sign of any strain.

This weight was even a bit easy for Luo Xiaoke.

"1." Luo Xiaoke paused for a moment, then calmly put down the barbell. After briefly adjusting her breathing, she lifted the barbell again. Each time she exerted force, she maintained the same trajectory, and even the sound of the barbell plates colliding was very regular.

"2..."

"3..."

"..."

Soon, after a set, Luo Xiaoke's movements remained unchanged, and she could even turn her face to slightly raise her eyebrows at her reflection in the mirror while locking the weight.

It felt as if the weight pressing down on my hands wasn't 140 kilograms, but just a normal warm-up weight.

On her final descent, the barbell slammed onto the rubber floor with a dull thud. Luo Xiaoke simply shook her aching wrist, her breathing quickly returning to normal.

"Hmm... I'm not feeling too good today."

Soon, Luo Xiaoke saw the screen next to her light up, and the doorbell rang—

"Coco, I'm here, Coco...Coco?" Lin Zhou's voice came over.

"Zhouzhou is here. Open the courtyard gate and the main gate." Luo Xiaoke said to the smart butler.

"Okay," came the reply from the robot that looked like a trash can standing next to Luo Xiaoke.

……

Lin Zhou stood outside Luo Xiaoke's house. He was dressed in clean sportswear and came to exercise with Keke. Although he had just run to exhaustion, he still hoped to gain more attributes.

Working out with a cute girl is perfect.

"Buzz—"

Lin Zhou took out his phone and saw a notification from the Heartbeat App. He clicked on it and saw that Luo Xiaoke's interface had been refreshed with new tasks.

Character: Luo Xiaoke

Favorability: 90+

Appearance: 98

Stamina: 73

Wisdom: 66

Status: Physical training

[Task: Complete a warm-up exercise with the other person.]

Reward: 1 point of stamina

They actually gave us free stamina?

"He's usually so stingy, but today he's actually willing to give away 1 point of stamina." Lin Zhou immediately showed a satisfied expression. Just then, the courtyard gate in front of him clicked open, and Luo Xiaoke's soft voice came from the device next to him.

"Zhouzhou~ It's all done~"

Lin Zhou pushed open the door and went inside. Actually, he hadn't been to Luo Xiaoke's house for a long time, and everything seemed to be the same.

The biggest change is probably in everyone's personalities; they're all quite different now.

Lin Zhou arrived at the gym and had just put down his bag when he saw Luo Xiaoke stretching on a yoga mat.

The stretching exercise the other person is doing is the famous cat stretch, which is a good way to relieve spinal stiffness. The movement is just like a cat's: when you exhale, you curl your pelvis back and engage your abdominal muscles, then lift your spine up.

When you inhale, lift your tailbone, lower your waist, and then tilt your head back. This is the key to the cat stretch.

She looked just like a cat, and Lin Zhou often saw Merlin doing these stretching exercises.

When Lin Zhou walked into the gym, he happened to see Luo Xiaoke's waist sinking down and her buttocks and tailbone raised high, which instantly drew his attention.

What a perfect stretch! The movements were as precise and professional as those of a diamond or spade.

"Zhouzhou, you're here~ Wait for me to finish this stretch, you can wait over here for a bit~" Luo Xiaoke continued doing the cat stretch, smiling.

"Okay." Lin Zhou sat down on the exercise chair next to him, waiting for Luo Xiaoke to warm up.

Yoga pants are really a great thing, he thought to himself. Lin Zhou was even attracted by the other party's professional yoga pants and went to learn professional cat stretch knowledge.

"If a big seat..." After paying his respects, Lin Zhou suddenly lifted his leg and crossed it over his shoulder.

After a while, Luo Xiaoke finished her warm-up exercises and suddenly looked at Lin Zhou with a smile, "Sorry to keep you waiting~ Were you bored?"

"Not boring at all, that's amazing... No, I mean I've never seen such perfect moves before." Lin Zhou gave a thumbs up.

Luo Xiaoke just smiled and said, "Zhouzhou~ come here and let me help you stretch."

"Do I need to stretch too?"

"No?"

"Come on." Lin Zhou walked to Luo Xiaoke's side. Actually, he hadn't done any stretching exercises. He just stretched his legs and bent over before starting to grind attribute points on the treadmill.

"Come on, sit down and try to touch your toes with your hands, press down." Luo Xiaoke instructed Lin Zhou on his movements.

Lin Zhou tried to press down, "Hmm... my body seems too stiff."

"It's okay, keep going~" Luo Xiaoke pressed against Lin Zhou's back, "Come on... press down slowly, try to touch your toes with your hands."

Supported by the counter-wave, Lin Zhou always had a good buffer when he pressed down to touch the foot—after a while, even he himself felt a little embarrassed, as if it were intentional.

"Go for it~" Luo Xiaoke whispered softly in Lin Zhou's ear.

After a while, Lin Zhou stood up, looked at Luo Xiaoke sitting on the ground, his face flushed, and coughed lightly, "Alright."

What kind of sports does Zhouzhou usually like to do?

"Let's get a treadmill."

"How about we try some strength training?"

"For example?"

Luo Xiaoke nodded her chin and pointed to the barbell bench press next to her, "Want to try this?"

"Okay, let's start with a blank shot?" Lin Zhou wasn't confident in his strength at all.

"Hehe, okay~"

The so-called barbell bench press involves lying on the equipment, holding the barbell and pushing it up. It is best to have someone assist you during this process, otherwise you may get injured by the bar hitting your chest when you reach exhaustion.

After Lin Zhou lay down on the facility, Luo Xiaoke helped lift the pole.

But the moment Lin Zhou lay down, he looked up—

I discovered that half of the ceiling above me was blocked.

"..."

With Luo Xiaoke helping out here, I'm so lucky.
