Chapter 286
Perhaps because of that "goodnight brother" from last night, Qin Tian had a long-lost, R-rated dream.
After waking up in the morning, while Chen Zhuang and the others were still asleep, he hurried to the bathroom to take a shower and change into a clean pair of underwear.
"Having such a good physique is also a problem!"
Qin Tian sighed to himself while brushing his teeth.
After washing up, he went to the bedside, fished his phone out from under the pillow, and sent a message to Xia Nuannuan asking if she was awake.
The two had already agreed yesterday that, barring anything else, they would go to the track and field for an empty-stomach morning run together.
The exercise volume during military training had been quite high, so the exercise habits they had formed in high school had been temporarily put on hold.
"I'm up, I'm brushing my teeth. Can you go to the track and wait for me?"
Xia Nuannuan replied to the message quickly.
"Sure, I'll head over first!"
"Mm-hmm, I'll be there in a bit."
Inside the dormitory, Chen Zhuang was still snoring like thunder, and Cao Mingliang was also still fast asleep.
Zhuang Zhe, who had gone to sleep the earliest, was already awake and sitting on his bed, yawning and staring blankly.
"A-Zhe, I'm heading out. Remember to call them to get up and go to the canteen for breakfast later, don't be late."
Qin Tian said to Zhuang Zhe in a low voice while putting on his clothes.
Zhuang Zhe nodded to show he understood.
Afterward, Qin Tian left the dormitory and jogged all the way to the track and field.
On the track, quite a few teachers and students from the school were already doing their morning exercises.
There were people power-walking and jogging, and even on the lawn in the middle, there were older professors practicing Tai Chi.
The jog over counted as a warm-up, so Qin Tian accelerated directly into a run.
Once Xia Nuannuan arrived, he would definitely have to match her pace for a slow jog, but with his physique, that speed would make it hard to vent his somewhat excessive energy.
Therefore, he had to seize the time to increase his exercise volume as much as possible.
Feeling the warm morning sun and the breeze blowing against his face, bringing the fragrance of flowers and grass, Qin Tian ran wantonly toward the rising sun.
All around, gazes fell one after another onto his tall figure.
"Why is he running so fast? Does he think he's participating in a sports meet?"
A certain senior student complained with a sour tone.
"Must be a freshman, just likes to show off!"
The boy next to him smiled and said.
"Do all handsome guys like to do this? Won't it be embarrassing when he can't even walk in a little while?"
"Who knows, but it's effective, look at those girls."
The two looked over, and their hearts felt even sourer.
They saw quite a few girls around them wearing infatuated expressions, their eyes chasing that tall, handsome figure.
The two even heard the discussion of a few girls not far in front of them.
"He's so handsome, I don't think I've seen him before!"
"Must be a freshman, they just finished military training and only came for morning exercises today!"
"Just started school, so he probably doesn't have a girlfriend, right? Should we go ask for his contact info?"
"If you want to, you go, I'm not going. We girls have to be reserved!"
"Still reserved? We're already juniors, if this keeps up, we'll really be single until graduation."
"Uh... stop talking, that's really heartbreaking, okay!"
The two boys looked at each other, their envy and jealousy overflowing.
They were also single; since they wanted to get into a relationship, why didn't they look for them?
What's so good about a freshman? Isn't it just that he's a bit more handsome?
Can a face be eaten as a meal? They're already juniors, why are they still so childish?
The two thought darkly and began to complain with sour words.
"I bet he'll last at most another minute before he has to walk like a turtle."
"You're overestimating him, I think thirty seconds is about it!"
Soon, after a minute passed, the two were a bit dumbfounded.
Not only had Qin Tian's speed not slowed down, but his running speed seemed to have become even faster.
"You're right, thirty seconds, thirty seconds at most."
"Mm!"
After another thirty seconds passed, the two tacitly stopped talking.
The laughter of the girls in front came again; one of them said that the freshman was not only tall and handsome but also seemed to have great stamina, which made the other sisters, who understood in a second, burst into giggles and playful banter.
Some senior girls could be even more intense than boys when they started "driving."
Only when he saw Xia Nuannuan on the steps over there waving at him did Qin Tian gradually slow his pace and run over with a bright smile.
Xia Nuannuan, dressed in sportswear, also walked down the steps and walked quickly toward Qin Tian.
Amidst many surprised gazes around them, the tall, handsome boy reached out and wrapped his arm around the girl's waist.
After the two said something, the boy kissed the girl's forehead with a doting smile.
Whether it was the senior girls or the senior boys, they all seemed to hear the sound of their own hearts breaking.
"Let's start then, run for half an hour, then go to the canteen for breakfast."
Qin Tian said with a smile.
"Mm-hmm!"
Xia Nuannuan nodded in agreement, her pretty face slightly flushed, feeling too shy to look him directly in the eyes.
For some reason, she felt that Qin Tian seemed even more proactive.
They had just chatted for a few seconds, and he had actually kissed her forehead, even though there were so many people watching!
However, she was just a bit shy; she didn't dislike it, but rather felt very happy and sweet.
Afterward, the two jogged side-by-side around the track, as if they had returned to those beautiful days before the college entrance exam when they would jog together before evening self-study.
"Can you wake up in the morning? Do you want to switch to the evening?"
Qin Tian asked.
"It's fine, I can wake up. Morning runs on an empty stomach make it easier to lose weight!"
Xia Nuannuan replied with a sweet smile.
"The main thing is that consistent exercise is good for your health, and it also allows you to eat more delicious food without guilt. You're already thin enough, no need to worry about your weight anymore."
Qin Tian said with a smile.
"Still have to be careful, I have an easy-to-gain-weight physique; if I'm not careful, I'll gain it back."
"It's okay, with me here, you won't!"
"Everyone says you get 'relationship fat' when you're in love!"
"Well, there are also people who say that kissing often can burn calories!"
Qin Tian said with a mischievous smile.
Xia Nuannuan's face turned bright red instantly, and she gave him an annoyed glare.
"Stop it, I feel like a lot of people are watching us!"
"Let them watch, weren't we used to it in high school?"
Qin Tian smiled indifferently.
"That's you, I'm not used to it!"
"Oh, so you're saying I'm thick-skinned?"
"I didn't, you said it yourself, hee hee..."
Xia Nuannuan laughed, her eyes curving into crescents.
The pairs of eyes around them that were watching the two were filled with envy and jealousy.
Especially the single senior boys and girls; they hadn't even eaten breakfast yet, but they felt full already.
After jogging for about half an hour, the two went to a nearby canteen for breakfast and then packed some to take back to the dormitory.
