Chapter 847: Chapter 828: The Twins Are Still So Useless! (Part 2)
Upon Yong Mu’s words, the twins followed his gaze and looked far in the distance, spotting Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi!
"Oh wow!"
The twins immediately got excited, and Gu Erhao said, "Feng is indeed Feng, the athletic powerhouse of our dorm! Sneaking off to exercise all by himself and not even giving us a heads-up!"
Gu Yihao, standing to the side, chimed in, "Why would he call us? He’s jogging with his girlfriend, can’t you see how lovey-dovey they are?"
"Oh wow..."
Gu Erhao couldn’t help but sigh, "Having a girlfriend is just different, you can even jog together! A male and female pair makes running feel effortless!"
Gu Yihao was also enviously nodding.
From the start of the semester until now, the twins had always envied Huo Feng for having a girlfriend as pretty and smart as Pu Sangzhi!
And even now, they were still envious!
Gu Yihao was already yearning for his own campus romance!
Just waiting for fate...
At that moment, as their attention was drawn to Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi were about to finish a lap and gradually approached the three of them.
"Hey Feng! Hi Feng!"
Gu Erhao raised his hand to greet Huo Feng, catching Huo Feng’s attention from afar.
Huo Feng waved a hand as he jogged, acknowledging the three of them.
"Oh wow, I think Feng’s sportswear looks so stylish..."
Gu Yihao began admiring Huo Feng’s outfit again, "Look at those muscular arms, they’re just so strong!"
Gu Erhao couldn’t help but imagine, "If he punched, it might cause internal bleeding, right?"
"Could you two get serious about warming up?"
Yong Mu couldn’t hold back any longer, feeling like these guys were just here to fulfill a promise! They only wanted to tell the counselor they’ve practiced, with no real intention to exercise!
Yong Mu regretted coming with them...
He should’ve come alone.
After all, he would dedicate himself 100% and wouldn’t be disturbed by those two.
"I’m not waiting for you guys, once this warm-up is done, I’m starting to run, suit yourselves," said Yong Mu.
"Hey Yong, why are you so irritable these days?"
Gu Erhao commented, "You can’t just abandon us, it’s about starting together, finishing together, and going back together."
Yong Mu: "Then hurry up and warm up, get started!"
Under Yong Mu’s pushing, the twins finally got into the groove and began their proper warm-up.
Soon after, the three of them joined the running loop on the track.
But the twins’ stamina was worryingly low...
On a 7.5-lap track, they were breathless and exhausted after just two laps, even alternating between walking and running...
They were really awful!
Only Yong Mu steadily controlled his running pace, lap after lap.
...
Several minutes later, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi finished their 3000 meters and 1500 meters respectively.
They stood in a corner of the field, doing some stretching exercises.
With sweat dripping down and their bodies warm, they felt very relaxed post-exercise.
Successful in completing their 3000 meters and 1500 meters, it proved they could accomplish the 1000 meters and 1500 meters tasks—it was just a matter of time.
Achieving excellent scores was also related to end-of-semester grades.
So Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi were striving for excellence in this aspect.
Of course, it wasn’t just this aspect; they were striving for excellence in other areas too.
While stretching, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi also kept an eye on the twins and Yong Mu running.
Watching Yong Mu lead in front, with the twins struggling behind like dying fish...
Technically, it wasn’t even running anymore.
Walking a long distance before jogging a short one, extremely weak!
"Those two have never changed their weakling character since the start of the semester."
Huo Feng couldn’t help but snicker disdainfully, "I wonder how they’ll handle the 3000 meters this time! I heard if they fail it, there’s a retake, and if they fail the retake, it affects graduate recommendations. They’re in for it!"
Pu Sangzhi detected the glee in Huo Feng’s tone and said a bit sourly, "Then why don’t you take them for a morning jog every day."
"Huh?"
Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, his face full of disdain, "Why would I take them jogging? I’m not even close to them!"
Pu Sangzhi thought: So, you can jog with girls every day?
However, on second thought, Pu Sangzhi didn’t say it out loud.
She didn’t want to come off as a jealous woman who constantly fretted over his interactions with You Xinran.
So, even if it slightly annoyed her, Pu Sangzhi decided not to mention it.
Running the 1500 meters vented some of her frustration, and she felt much calmer now.
"Would you like me to take them jogging every morning?"
Seeing her silence, Huo Feng lowered his head to ask her, "If I take them, then what about you? You’d be without a running partner?"
"I don’t need you to keep me company."
Pu Sangzhi replied casually, "I can call the girls from our dorm to run with me; they need practice too."
Huo Feng refused outright, "No, I want to run with you, I don’t want to team up with others."
This sentence considerably improved Pu Sangzhi’s mood.
She couldn’t help but smile slightly, and she sneaked a glance at Huo Feng...
Finally, Pu Sangzhi cautioned herself: Trust him! Be a pleasant and generous woman, not too petty!
So, Pu Sangzhi decided to swallow her irritation.
She held in the incident with You Xinran yesterday, and now this jogging thing with You Xinran...
Bit by bit, she was bottling things up, which might explode in the future.
"Shall we head back first, or wait for them to finish and go back together?" Huo Feng asked her.
"Let’s wait for them," Pu Sangzhi replied.
"Alright."
And so, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng waited another 20 or so minutes for the trio...
Finally, the twins sluggishly completed the 7.5 laps and flopped onto the field.
Like a pile of mud, they lay facing the sky, gasping and muttering, "I’m dying... I’m dead..."
They were just too weak!
Making Huo Feng, Pu Sangzhi, and Yong Mu feel second-hand embarrassment!
Huo Feng walked over and nudged Gu Erhao’s shoulder, "Hey, I’ll give you two minutes to rest. If you’re not up by then, we’re leaving without you."
"Not enough, not enough..."
Gu Erhao panted, sticking out his tongue, shaking his head, "You guys go ahead, I need at least 20 minutes. My legs no longer feel like mine; I need to wait for them to regain sensation."
Gu Yihao added, "Same here."
"Oh, you weaklings..."
Huo Feng raised his hand, "Fine, let’s leave them be and head out without them."
Pu Sangzhi and Yong Mu fully agreed with Huo Feng’s decision.
So, the three of them left the twins behind and headed back to the dorm.
As they exited the field, the trio walked in a line, chatting away...
Initially, Huo Feng and Yong Mu were discussing calculus, but then Pu Sangzhi suddenly interrupted, asking Yong Mu, "Why did you exercise with the twins today? Didn’t have plans with Mu Mu?"
This question hit a sore spot for Yong Mu!
In that instant, the natural expression on Yong Mu’s face vanished, replaced by a gloomy mood and a slightly downcast tone, "She said she didn’t want to come out."
"I saw her lying in bed all afternoon when she came back, she seemed free," Pu Sangzhi commented.
"Yeah. She’s got nothing going on, just doesn’t want to see me."
Yong Mu sighed, since it was brought up, he didn’t mind losing face, so he candidly told Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi, "I asked her out for dinner today, she refused. We usually eat together, study together at night, but today, she’s avoiding me, didn’t even come to evening study, guess she’s mad at me."
After he finished, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng exchanged a glance.
Then Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng looked at each other again, both silent.
After a moment, Huo Feng placed a hand on Yong Mu’s shoulder, patting it, "She’s upset, think of a way to make it up to her."
