Chapter 30: Wake Up So Early?
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
At six in the morning, the first glimmer of light appeared in the sky at Beining College.
The entire dormitory building was also quiet. It was winter and not many students were willing to get up at this time.
Tang Chi’s alarm clock rang.
Within two seconds, Tang Chi quickly reacted and reached out to turn off her alarm clock even though she was still very sleepy.
She opened her eyes and yawned, feeling not so good. Her bed was so warm she was not willing to pull herself away.
But she had no choice. She mustered all her willpower and got up. After washing up, she tied her hair and put on a sports outfit. This was the only sports outfit that she could find after looking through for a long time in the original Tang Chi’s closet.
These soft and slight movements woke Han Tian up. She was not fully awake and asked groggily: “Why are you up so early?…”
“I’m going for a run to exercise.”
Tang Chi replied back softly. Han Tian looked at her like she was crazy but fell asleep again as soon as she closed her eyes.
Tang Chi sorted herself out and opened the dormitory door to go out.
It was not really bright yet. There were still street lights on the field not far away below the dormitory. No one can be seen.
Tang Chi entered the field’s running track and starting jogging.
In the beginning, she did not rush into the exercise especially when the original Tang Chi’s body was not very fit.
After the tenth minute, Tang Chi’s footsteps began to feel heavy and her breathing was not smooth.
This was the problem with a lack of exercise.
This time, she gritted her teeth and felt more determined.
When Tang Chi trained for wrestling, her endurance was far beyond the ordinary. She did not stop and determined to jog for another thirty minutes.
When she finally stopped, her calves were in pain like it was cramping up.
At this time, the sky just began to brighten up. There were students appearing but mostly they were holding books.
Such good and hardworking kids…
She only rested for a few minutes before jogging again for another ten minutes.
She just started exercising. It was not about doing it for long, it also had to depend on whether her body could sustain.
When Tang Chi was jogging alone in the field, it was quite noticeable. Some students noticed her but no one came up to say hello.
Tang Chi took some strenuous steps and ate breakfast in the cafeteria. Her sports outfit was thin with her sweat dried up. She began to shiver as the cold air hit her after leaving the cafeteria and returned to her dormitory quickly.
It was only seven in the morning. The three of her dorm mates were still asleep.
She only had one class in the morning and two in the afternoon. After that, she would find the time to continue to train.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated. She received a text unexpectedly from Gu Linzheng.
Gu Linzheng: [Reply to me when you wake up. There will be some guests coming to our house this afternoon so mum is asking if you could come home for lunch.]
It looked like he thought she was still asleep.
Tang Chi immediately replied to him.
[I have a class this afternoon so I can’t come home. Help me to apologize to mum.]
Because home was too far away.
Gu Linzheng just reached his office. After sending that text, he did not expect Tang Chi to reply so soon. The man sat on his office chair under the faint light from the sky, looking hesitant beneath his glasses.
He was used to giving orders. Once he got the message out, he got the message out. Sending Tang Chi that text was after careful consideration on his part.
Now that he saw Tang Chi’s message, he was uncertain whether or not to reply.
After thinking for a few minutes - he rarely needed to think so long over something, Gu Linzheng replied a message.
[Wake up so early?]
