Chapter 22: I Love You

After eating and drinking his fill, Qin Tian put the remaining dishes in the pot and rice cooker to keep warm and left a note for his mother on the table.

Afterward, he took the cup he usually drank water from and left home.

In the 500ml cup was the fruit and vegetable juice mixed with the physical enhancement potion.

Evening self-study started at 7:30.

Around six o'clock, Qin Tian arrived at the track and field stadium he had agreed upon with Xia Nuannuan.

"Qin Tian."

Xia Nuannuan had arrived earlier. Upon seeing him, she raised her right arm high and waved with a sweet smile.

"How long have you been here? Have you been waiting long?"

Qin Tian ran over.

"No, I just got here too."

Xia Nuannuan answered with a smile.

In fact, she was too looking forward to exercising with Qin Tian, so she rushed over right after dinner and had already been waiting for more than ten minutes.

"You have to wait half an hour after eating before you can exercise."

Qin Tian reminded her with a smile.

"It's okay, it's been half an hour, and I didn't eat much, just ate some vegetables."

Xia Nuannuan said hurriedly.

"Alright, then drink some of this first."

Qin Tian unscrewed the lid of the water cup and handed it over.

"This is?"

"My special fruit and vegetable juice. It can enhance physical strength and speed up fat consumption. Combined with exercise, it's twice the result with half the effort."

"So amazing?"

Xia Nuannuan's eyes lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on her face; she didn't doubt what he said at all.

"Try drinking a little bit first."

Qin Tian said with a smile.

His physical fitness before the enhancement was definitely stronger than Xia Nuannuan's, and even so, he had suffered a bit.

Even if it was diluted, she couldn't drink too much at once.

"Mm-hmm!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded, took a small sip to taste it, and the smile on her face became even sweeter.

"This is actually quite tasty!"

"Then drink some more."

"Okay!"

Xia Nuannuan drank two more sips and felt her body starting to heat up.

"Hey, this seems really useful. I feel like I have energy all over my body."

As she spoke, she wanted to continue drinking more.

Perhaps because it was carefully prepared by Qin Tian, she felt it tasted very good.

"That's enough, just drink this much for now!"

Qin Tian hurriedly persuaded her to stop.

"Alright!"

Xia Nuannuan agreed obediently and handed the water cup back to him.

Qin Tian put the lid on the cup and bent down to place it on the steps.

"Let's walk a lap to warm up first, then jog slowly."

"Okay!"

So, the two of them came to the plastic track and walked side by side around the football turf in the middle, not fast or slow.

Today was the weekend, and only the senior year students had to return to school for evening self-study.

Therefore, at this time, there were only a few people in the track and field stadium.

"Qin Tian, look, there's a girl over there reciting her lessons. She's so hardworking!"

Xia Nuannuan raised her hand and pointed not far away, saying with admiration.

On the opposite track, a girl was holding a textbook, reciting while walking slowly toward the sunset.

"She is indeed hardworking!"

Qin Tian nodded slightly, also feeling respect in his heart.

If the system didn't exist, he might also be struggling like this right now.

In his past life, he also woke up during this time before the college entrance exam and started studying desperately.

But unfortunately, his foundation was too weak, and it was already too late.

In the final college entrance exam, he could only barely get into a third-rate undergraduate college.

"Nuannuan, how about this? Let's quiz each other on English while we run, how about that?"

Qin Tian suggested with a smile.

"Okay, okay, how do we do it?"

Xia Nuannuan asked excitedly.

"For example, if I say an English word or phrase, you have to translate the Chinese meaning. If I say Chinese, you have to say the English word and spell it. We take turns asking questions. The loser will treat the other to ice cream and water at the supermarket later."

"Mm-hmm, that's interesting. Let's do it!"

"Then let's start directly? Who asks first?"

"It's your suggestion, you ask first!"

"Okay!"

Qin Tian nodded and pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled playfully: "I love you."

Xia Nuannuan froze when she heard this, and then her whole face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she glared at Qin Tian with a shy gaze:

"You're cheating, is that Chinese or English?"

"Hahahaha..."

Qin Tian laughed happily.

Xia Nuannuan lowered her head with a flushed face.

With her current figure, she couldn't see her toes and could only see the shadow of her and Qin Tian merging together on the plastic track.

The corners of the young girl's lips couldn't help but curl up.

"Cough, cough..."

After laughing heartily for a while, Qin Tian restrained his smile and said seriously: "That was just a joke, let's start officially now."

"Hmph, come on, I'm not good at math and science, but I'm not afraid of you when it comes to English."

Xia Nuannuan pouted, looking unconvinced.

……………………………………………………

After walking a lap, the two of them started jogging.

Qin Tian matched Xia Nuannuan's speed and rhythm, and the two of them jogged while competing in English vocabulary.

The originally boring and tiring running exercise seemed much easier and more pleasant with this suggestion.

Under the influence of the diluted physical enhancement potion, Xia Nuannuan's physique was subtly enhanced, and the effect of jogging was also increased many times over.

She, who used to pant after running two or three hundred meters, ran lap after lap today in Qin Tian's company, but still didn't feel too tired, feeling her body much lighter.

This surprised her pleasantly.

Not understanding the reason, she could only attribute it all to the "power of love."

It wasn't until seven o'clock that the two of them stopped.

Neither of them could remember exactly how many laps they had run.

Anyway, their clothes were already soaked with sweat.

There was naturally a sense of fatigue, but more than that, it was the refreshing feeling after exercising and sweating profusely.

Three kilometers can cure all kinds of unhappiness, five kilometers can cure all kinds of internal injuries, and after running ten kilometers, the heart is full of openness.

The two of them definitely hadn't run ten kilometers today, but they already had that feeling.

Qin Tian let Xia Nuannuan drink some more of the fruit and vegetable juice in the cup, and under her shy gaze, he drank the rest in one gulp.

"Let's go, there's still some time, want to go to the supermarket for an ice cream and a bottle of water?"

Qin Tian grinned and added: "Of course, you're treating!"

"I know!"

Xia Nuannuan pouted again, still a bit unconvinced.

She never expected that her English level, which she was proud of, couldn't compare to Qin Tian's.

In the vocabulary competition just now, she had been completely defeated.

And so, the two of them walked all the way to the school supermarket.

After picking up two bottles of low-sugar sports drinks, they walked to the freezer filled with various ice creams and popsicles.

"Gulp!"

Looking at the various delicious ice creams inside, Xia Nuannuan quietly swallowed her saliva.

"Eat one, consider it a reward for yourself."

Qin Tian suggested with a laugh.

Xia Nuannuan's eyes flickered a few times, but she still shook her head firmly: "No, no, if I eat one, there will be another. I won't eat it, you see what you want to eat!"

"Are you sure you really won't eat it?"

"Mm, I won't!"

"Alright!"

Qin Tian smiled and took a frozen Wangzai popsicle from the freezer.

They went to the checkout counter to pay and walked out of the supermarket.

Qin Tian tore off the packaging of the popsicle, split it in half, and handed one half to Xia Nuannuan.

"I..."

"Eat it, it's only half, the calories are very low. And this thing, it only tastes right when shared between two people."

Qin Tian interrupted her directly, his sunny smile making her feel like a spring breeze.

"Alright!"

Xia Nuannuan really couldn't refuse and took it.

She looked a bit helpless, but she was actually feeling beautiful inside. ===== CHAPTER 23 =====
