Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

Chapter 330, Section 336: People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized.

It was nearly nine o'clock in the evening when they left the apartment. The wind was not strong and it was quite cool. Gu Cheng put her phone into her sweatshirt pocket and quietly followed behind Su Wanxi.

"Walk for a while before running?" After passing through the lush green belt, Su Wanxi turned to ask Gu Cheng, her dark eyes under the moonlight like two clear and bright black agates.

The girl thought for a moment, then replied softly, "Well, consider it a warm-up exercise."

So, their hands naturally came together.

There were quite a few people out for a run in the evening, mostly students and middle-aged people who pay attention to their health, as well as a small number of young couples who went out for a stroll and flirted. Gu Cheng and Su Wanxi walked hand in hand for more than ten minutes, watching the men and women passing by on the street, listening to the soft and gentle wind, and their minds were also relaxed.

This is life.

Out of the corner of his eye, Gu Cheng caught a glimpse of a rounded and alluring shoulder. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he leaned closer to Su Wanxi, as if declaring his ownership of her.

My Wanwan is the most beautiful girl in the world.

Su Wanxi seemed to understand what Gu Cheng was thinking, and tilted her head towards the girl, her silky hair tied in a ponytail brushing against her skin with each step.

"Su Wanwan, you smell so good."

After changing out of her high heels, Su Wanxi and Gu Cheng were only two or three centimeters apart. The latter could whisper intimate words in each other's ears without having to tiptoe.

"Really?" The woman tossed her hair, revealing her delicate, fair earlobe.

Gu Cheng nodded, her voice becoming even clearer.

"Mmm, it smells of roses, with a hint of orange fragrance."

Su Wanxi was stunned when she heard this, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

The former is not hard to understand. Her usual perfume is Derek Mal's Rose, which is known for its elegance and coolness. However, besides the rose scent, it also has some minty notes.

As for the fresh scent of citrus... she really hadn't been able to detect it...

"It's probably because of the perfume I wore..." Su Wanxi glanced at Gu Cheng a few times, her voice tinged with amusement.

"What, Orange wants to wear perfume too?"

The fiancée's fragrance was always very faint, and it was easily masked by other things. Basically, she smelled the same as whatever shower gel she used, with only occasionally a light, not-too-sweet, coconut milk scent. If Gu Cheng wanted to use it, Su Wanxi wouldn't mind picking out a few for her.

"Oh, me?" The girl was clearly surprised, but quickly lowered her voice.

"sure."

Gu Cheng had never touched perfume before, partly because it was expensive, costing two or three hundred yuan for a small bottle, and partly because she had to work long hours every day and had no time to take care of herself.

Actually, spraying some floral water works quite well too.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanxi slowed her pace, her mind racing as she considered what kind of perfume would suit her lover. Perfume is a woman's second body scent, so the choice of perfume cannot be taken lightly, especially since her lover is the future daughter-in-law of the Su family.

In Su Wanxi's eyes, Gu Cheng was like a little white flower blooming by the sea, pure and cute, with a slender and graceful waist that would be revealed when the sea breeze blew, soft and sweet yet hiding a trace of undeniable resilience.

Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc is light, crisp, and sparkling with citrus notes, while the coconut base perfectly complements the orange scent.

Let her try it tomorrow.

After walking for a while, Gu Cheng took the initiative to let go of his hand, her tone light and cheerful.

“Su Wanwan, run from here to Xinhai Square.”

They stood at a crossroads, where the crowds were sparse and the surroundings were brightly lit. Su Wanxi raised her hand to touch her forehead, her lips slightly parted.

"Okay, let's begin."

......

The standard distance for an international marathon is 26 miles and 385 yards, which is 42.195 kilometers. They were going to run about a quarter marathon this time. In addition to paying attention to the road conditions at all times, body control is also a key factor in long-distance running. Gu Cheng kept adjusting her breathing to ensure that every muscle tension and relaxation was actually reflected in her brain.

Su Wanxi was only two or three meters behind her, her breathing still steady.

Without using any abilities, Su Wanxi would find it difficult to surpass Gu Cheng, who had undergone modifications by Ying Qiuhuai. Gu Cheng's endurance, explosiveness, and other physical functions were all incredibly close to the human peak, allowing her to run seven or eight kilometers without feeling anything.

Su Wanxi felt a slight burning sensation in her lungs. Even a special forces soldier would not be able to withstand running at full speed for such a long time without exercise. The longest distance she had ever run without gravity control was 67 kilometers. She did not expect to feel so tired after only one-tenth of the distance.

Su Wanxi, Su Wanxi... have you become so weak...?

The woman pursed her lips and persisted, but Gu Cheng felt a gust of wind behind her, and her speed increased again.

The distance between the two actually widened as a result.

"..."

Gu Chengyan was completely numb.

This couple, one fiercely competitive and the other utterly straightforward, are truly a perfect match.

The long run took more than forty minutes. Gu Cheng was a little tired, but more so hungry. Su Wanxi was in much worse condition than Gu Cheng, her chest visibly heaving up and down.

"Su Wanwan?" Gu Cheng patted Su Wanxi's back. Through the thin tank top, she could clearly feel that the other person was sweating a lot.

Su Wanxi took a deep breath, trying to slow her heartbeat.

"I haven't been exercising much lately..."

Seeing this, Gu Cheng lowered her eyes, feeling half heartache and half regret. Why did she show off like that? She gently hugged Su Wanxi from behind and led her to the chair.

"Su Wanwan, you rest first, I'll go buy you some water."

Looking at the extremely nervous brown-haired girl in front of her, Su Wanxi couldn't help but feel a sweet warmth in her heart, and smiled gently.

"Cough cough... I'm just not used to running all of a sudden, don't worry about it."

Moreover, she was the one who brought up the competition. She should bear the consequences of her own actions. Gu Cheng stared at Su Wanxi, looking her up and down. Her fair skin was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and her slightly flushed profile gave her a pitiful look.

Taking out two stacks of wet wipes from his pocket, Gu Cheng gently wiped his fiancée's face, letting Su Wanxi half-lie on his lap, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Let's go back and jog a bit. It's not like we're going to lose a little bit of exercise." They came out to relax, not to suffer.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanxi coughed a few times to moisten her throat.

"Okay, I'll do whatever Orange says."

I'm really tired from running.

Seeing how obedient and well-behaved Su Wanxi was, Gu Cheng became even gentler in her movements, but still scolded her with exasperation.

“Tell me if you’re tired. Why do you have to keep running? Your situation is different from mine.”

No matter what Gu Cheng said, Su Wanxi just pouted and blinked her eyes cutely.

You can't exactly tell her that she's trying to solidify her position as her boyfriend.

Chapter 331, Section 337: A Midsummer Night for Two

Beijing is already the most notorious smog city in China, and with the increasing light pollution brought about by rapid development, it is difficult to see stars even when the weather is clear.

After resting on Gu Cheng's knees for a while, Su Wanxi's cheeks were finally not as red as they had been at the beginning. She tried to straighten her back, her fair and slender legs slightly together, letting the summer breeze gently blow through her hair.

"Wanwan, are you feeling any better?" Gu Cheng asked her gently, her voice full of concern.

Su Wanxi shook her head and replied that it was alright.

In fact, during the latter half of her night run, she could clearly feel her whole body getting hot, her heart pounding as if it wanted to jump out of her chest, and her calves feeling as heavy as lead.

Having sat in the office for too long, even running just over ten kilometers felt like an eternity. Su Wanxi's only thought now was how embarrassing it was, how incredibly embarrassing it was.

Gu Cheng knew that his fiancée was shy, so he tacitly refrained from exposing her, and simply placed his hand on Su Wanxi's back, gently stroking her back and forth.

Come to think of it, this was the first time Gu Cheng had ever seen Su Wanxi so unaggressive. She didn't resist at all when Gu Cheng touched her head, patted her legs, or rubbed her face, and even took the initiative to rub her hair.

"Su Wanwan, are you thirsty?"

Having traveled such a long distance, Gu Cheng was both hungry and thirsty, her chest almost touching her back.

"Thirsty," Su Wanxi replied sweetly.

"Then... let's go buy a cup of milk tea."

Having reached an agreement, the two found the nearest Coco. Gu Cheng liked milk foam, so she ordered a mousse milk foam green tea, while Su Wanxi, who had a sweet tooth, ordered a sweet and juicy strawberry au lait with extra sugar.

It's rare for Su Xiaofu to go for a run without her phone or purse, so Miss Gu will cover all her expenses tonight.

After ordering, they chose a window seat in the milk tea shop, which was directly opposite the entrance to Xinhai Plaza. Gu Cheng rested her chin on her hand, quietly watching people come and go outside the window. Her beautiful profile was bathed in a hazy glow from the warm-colored lights.

"It's already past ten o'clock, why is it still so lively..."

Hearing the girl talking to herself, Su Wanxi relaxed, crossed her legs, and smiled lightly, "Because there's a night market nearby~ It's been going on for a while now."

"The night market...this is it?"

Gu Cheng used to rent a place in the old town and would go to the night market every few days. The shirts and pants sold at the roadside stalls were really cheap, fifteen yuan a piece, forty yuan a set. Although there were no styles or brands, the quality was acceptable.

At least it won't suddenly tear when you wear it outside.

I remember she bought shoes there a while ago, and Su Wanxi scolded her for the hard heels that hurt her feet.

"Yes, there's a food street, and a bunch of little games like balloon popping and ring toss..." the woman explained gently. Su Wanshan had taken her there a few times before, and two years ago she had accompanied Gu Cheng to Lanjiang for a spicy crayfish meal, so Su Wanxi's fondness for night market culture had skyrocketed.

"Let's go for a walk around the area after we finish our tea."

Su Wanxi placed her soft hand on her thigh, her index finger gently circling a spot. Her smooth, milky skin dipped slightly with the movement of her fingertip. Gu Cheng glanced at her discreetly and said in a gentle voice, "Okay."

She also wanted to buy some local snacks to fill her stomach.

A moment later, the drinks they ordered were served. Gu Cheng lowered her head and took a small sip. The rich milky aroma, along with the refreshing green tea, flooded her tongue. The tea was icy cold and needed to stay in her mouth for a while before she could swallow it.

"How does it taste?" Su Wanxi asked her.

"It tastes great!"

After taking a few more sips, my throat felt noticeably better.

"Would you like to try my cup?"

Hearing the plastic bag make a rustling sound, Gu Cheng looked up and found that Su Wanxi's strawberry au lait was in perfect condition, with small transparent water droplets on the heat-soaked film bearing the milk tea logo.

"Here you go~"

Su Wanxi inserted the straw herself, then generously held the cup to the girl's lips, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Is this going to be the first sip for me? Gu Cheng hesitated for a few seconds, but still took a sip through the straw. Strawberries are already sweet, and with the addition of milk foam and sugar, one sip would be sickeningly sweet.
