After moving in together, I was pampered by the big boss.

Who threatens people like that?

Chu Xia was both amused and exasperated.

However, based on her understanding of Tang Yu...

He actually dared to do that.

Wouldn't that result in even more waste?

Chu Xia couldn't refuse him, so she went to other stores and picked out some more clothes.

To minimize waste, Chu Xia changed her outfit choices this time, opting for pajamas and thicker clothes suitable for autumn.

In the end, they even bought winter clothes.

She was so tired from trying on clothes that she wished she could just lie down and rest for a while.

I've never felt so tired from shopping in early summer.

Her legs are about to be ruined.

After buying the clothes, she was too tired to buy any more room decorations, so she suggested to Tang Yu that they go home now.

"Brother Tang Yu, I'm so tired I can't walk anymore, let's go home!"

Tang Yu's handsome brows furrowed slightly as he looked at her with a questioning gaze. "Tired so quickly?"

Their physical strength is too poor.

His original plan was to spend the afternoon shopping, until dinner time.

He then took Chu Xia out for a meal before going back.

But it's only four o'clock in the afternoon.

They had only been out for three hours.

Is this girl trying to save him money again?

Noticing the suspicion in his eyes, Chu Xia felt utterly exhausted.

For the first time, I realized that spending money can be a tiring and distressing experience.

She slumped weakly against Tang Yu's right arm, her tone so sincere it was almost as if she were swearing an oath to the heavens.

"I'm really, really tired! It's not that I'm trying to save you money, it's really not."

"Alright then! Let's go home now."

Tang Yu agreed with great regret.

Then he walked up to Chu Xia and squatted down.

"Get on! I'll carry you down."

In the past, with so many people around, Chu Xia would definitely have been too shy to go up.

However, she was so tired that she could only pant and didn't want to take another step.

They couldn't care less about anything else.

Tang Yu has long legs and walks very fast, so he arrived at the mall entrance in no time.

The driver had already brought the car over in advance.

The clothes I bought earlier have already been shipped back to me.

After getting on the bus in early summer, it took me a while to regain some strength.

However, she preferred to lie down rather than sit, as it was more comfortable.

As if reading her mind, Tang Yu patted his leg and suggested, "It'll be another half hour to get home. Why don't you lie down on my lap and rest for a bit?"

"Yes!" Chu Xia nodded without any hesitation.

He immediately lay down.

It really feels much better now.

She raised her slender, white arm and gently encircled Tang Yu's waist. She turned to face him and slowly closed her eyes.

Tang Yu's long, slender, pale fingers weaved through her long hair, gently massaging her scalp to relieve her fatigue.

"Why don't you get up tomorrow morning and exercise with me?"

Tang Yu planned to gradually build up her physical strength so that she wouldn't be exhausted like this again in the future.

"Mmm!" Chu Xia was enjoying the pressure from his fingers and didn't want to think about anything else, so she agreed without thinking.

When they got home, Chu Xia was almost asleep. Tang Yu called her several times before she groggily realized they were home.

After getting off the bus, Chu Xia ignored everything and went straight to her room.

After taking off her shoes, she buried herself in the soft quilt and closed her eyes.

Tang Yu followed her in, glanced at her, adjusted the air conditioner, and pulled the blanket up for her. Then he tiptoed out.

Chu Xia slept for almost two hours, and soon after waking up, it was time for dinner.

After dinner, Tang Yu planned to go to his study to read for a while. Before leaving, he reminded Chu Xia not to forget to get up at six o'clock the next morning to exercise.

Chu Xia nodded in agreement.

Tang Jun, who was still sitting to the side, waited until Tang Yu was out of sight before looking at Chu Xia and asking in a low voice, "Are you going to exercise with my brother?"

Chu Xia nodded, "Mm."

"are you crazy!"

Early summer: "..."

"Wh...what's wrong?"

Tang Jun's handsome face scrunched up as he recalled what he had just said.

"I also worked out with my brother for a while. I almost died on the treadmill."

Tang Jun recalled the past.

He was still in high school at that time.

The incident started when someone at school caused trouble, and three boys cornered him.

Although he finally managed to beat everyone to the ground with all his might, he himself was also beaten black and blue, with not a single good spot on his body.

When he got home that evening, his brother was eating at the dining table. Seeing him come back covered in bruises, sitting there motionless, he calmly asked, "Did you get into a fight?"

At that time, he had just moved here to live with his brother. He didn't know his temperament yet.

I don't know if he'll care about me.

So he just nodded and didn't say anything more.

Then I heard him ask, "How many people were there? You got beaten up like this?"

He lowered his head and replied, "Three."

"You're really weak. Three people beat you up like this. If there had been one more, would I have had to collect your corpse?"

His tone at the time clearly showed his disdain.

"Let's start exercising together tomorrow. We'll stop when we can take on ten people by ourselves."

Although he didn't ask why the fight happened, he didn't criticize him either. Tang Jun was quite happy at the time.

Then she innocently agreed to his suggestion.

Then, on the first day I went to the gym with him.

Then I saw his brother running on the treadmill at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, looking like he was going to run the treadmill to death.

From that moment on, he knew things weren't simple.

Sure enough, for the next two months, he exercised for at least six or seven hours every day. Treadmill, barbell, dumbbells, squats, one after another. Not to mention Saturdays and Sundays.

He felt like he was peeling off a layer of skin every day. When he went upstairs to his room, he had to crawl back on his hands and feet.

Looking back now, he's afraid he'll have nightmares at night.

"Die...die on the treadmill!" Chu Xia's eyes widened in shock. "That's terrifying!"

Tang Jun nodded with a pained expression. "To call it terrifying is an understatement. But you're a girl, so my brother will probably go easy on you. But..."

Given how strict his brother was when training him, it's probably unrealistic to expect him to go easy on him.

His younger brother was exhausted, but his older brother didn't even flinch.

Tang Jun sighed and shook his head. "Anyway, you'd better take care of yourself!"

While Chu Xia was lost in thought, Tang Jun finished the remaining rice in his bowl in a few bites and then got up and went back to his room.

In early summer, seeing that her small bowl was already empty, she decisively went into the kitchen and ladled out another bowl of rice.
