Stunningly beautiful young lady

The next morning, two figures were seen circling the yard.

"Xiaozhi, just run at your own pace."

Seeing the little branch following behind him, constantly speeding up, he spoke up to remind it.

I'm worried that she won't be able to adapt to her running speed, which will disrupt her own rhythm and make her very tired.

“Miss…huff…, I can do it…huff…”

As she watched the young lady getting further and further away from her, she would occasionally quicken her pace to catch up.

She didn't want to fall too far behind, and she wanted to catch up with her mistress, so she kept speeding up to catch up from time to time.

She had lost count of how many laps she had fallen behind, because she simply couldn't keep track.

"Xiaozhi, last lap, speed up."

Seeing that Xiaozhi, drenched in sweat, was slowing down, Su Qing's voice rang out from the side.

With victory within reach, we encouraged Xiaozhi to sprint the final lap.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Gasping for breath, I finally finished the two-hour weighted run.

"Huff... huff... huff..."

Xiaozhi lay on the ground, panting heavily. She hadn't expected that running with her mistress would be so tiring.

"Miss... how come you... don't seem tired at all..."

She had to take several breaths to finish saying just one sentence.

She was lying on the ground, feeling utterly hopeless. She had never felt this way when she was jogging, but she almost collapsed from exhaustion while running with the young lady.

I'm not just almost, I'm completely exhausted!

"Get up. Don't lie down right after running; it's bad for your health."

Su Qing reached out and Xiao Zhi grabbed her, using the leverage to get up from the ground.

He managed to get up, but left a large, star-shaped sweat stain on the ground.

Um~

A wave of dizziness washed over me, and my head felt like it was spinning.

"Miss, I feel dizzy (@﹏@)."

She immediately stood up and felt extremely uncomfortable, almost losing her balance.

If Su Qing hadn't been supporting her, she might have fallen to the ground.

"It's alright, you'll feel better after a while."

Help Xiaozhi to a bench to rest, and after she recovers, give her some water before completing the next training exercise.

"Squeak."

Master, why are you all so tired?

It swallowed the last bite of peach shortbread in its mouth and then took two sips of water.

Bai Ling had seen Su Qing running through the forest carrying strange things, but her reaction was similar to today's.

Aside from being a little tiring at the beginning, it wasn't as exaggerated as what Sister Xiaozhi described.

Looking at Sister Xiaozhi now, she seems like she's about to collapse from exhaustion.

"The intensity is too high, and I'm not used to such a fast running pace."

She didn't expect that Xiaozhi would follow along the whole way; that takes incredible perseverance.

"Xiaozhi, don't rush things. It's best to adapt to your own pace and gradually increase the speed. Don't set the highest standards all at once."

Hua Hua Hua.

Su Qing took the teapot, poured two cups of water, and placed one of them in front of Xiao Zhi.

"Rest for a while before drinking."

She had gone through this herself, so she shared what she considered to be the best practice methods with her.

"Yes, Miss, I understand."

It took Xiaozhi quite a while to fully recover.

The prolonged running caused her body to become extremely dehydrated. Xiaozhi picked up the water bottle on the table, tilted her head back, and drank the water into her mouth.

"Glug glug," and he finished it in a few big gulps.

She wiped her mouth, still savoring the taste, and looked at the teapot, reaching out for another cup.

"Squeak."

You can't drink so fast, or so much.

When Bai Ling saw Xiao Zhi's hand reaching for the teapot, she immediately jumped in front of it and protected it.

The owner said that it shouldn't drink a lot of water quickly in such a short period of time, so it has to keep an eye on Little Branch.

"Alright, alright, I'll drink it later. Look how impatient you are."

She turned around and saw that her young mistress had almost finished two hundred, so she had to catch up soon.

"It's easier to do it while your body is still warm."

She stood up, twisted her limbs, and then carried the large stone she used for daily training on her back, and began training seriously.

One, two, three... thirty, thirty-one...

The little branch squatted down and counted its own number.

"Sister, what are you doing?!"

Su Zhen strode in with cheerful steps, and before she even entered the courtyard, her voice could be heard from outside the gate.

Today, when she heard her servant boy say that his sister had returned, he couldn't wait to come over and see if his sister was really there.

"The door isn't closed, just push it open and come in."

After answering Su Zhen's question, she also completed the last weighted squat.

"Ok!"

Standing in front of the gate, I placed my palms on the door and gently pushed it open.

"Huh? Sisters, what are you doing?"

He walked in just as his sister took off the stones from her body and wiped the sweat from her head with the handkerchief around her neck.

"Physical training and physical exercise."

She walked to the table, poured a small glass of water, and took a small sip.

"Ooh!"

He nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

He knew about physical exercise, but this was the first time he had heard of fitness training, though he hoped the general idea would be clear.

She was very curious when she first saw him, so she went closer to observe the twig.

"What is this doing?"

He imitated Xiaozhi's movements, squatting and standing up, his legs trembling slightly, and his imitation was remarkably accurate.

Curious children start seeking answers, wanting to understand things they don't know.

"Weighted squats."

Su Qing sat on the stool and answered his questions.

I'd like to try it too.

He turned to look at Su Qing, and seeing Xiao Zhi's expression, he was also eager to try it out.

Su Qing stood up, took the large rock she had just used, and placed it on his back.

"Hold onto the strips of cloth on both sides."

Then he told Su Zhen to hold the thickened strips of cloth firmly on both sides of his shoulders and to squat down like Xiao Zhi.

"Yeah, not bad."

He tried two and found the weight acceptable.

"continue."

Su Qing took two steps back and stood between Su Zhen and Xiao Zhi.

Ninety-nine, one hundred…

As Xiaozhi squatted down, she counted, each squat and rise requiring a great deal of effort, yet she was still able to persevere.

The young lady said, "Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one rise above others."

She doesn't say she wants to be a superior person, but she wants to be someone who can endure hardship.

Su Zhen looked surprised when he heard that Sister Xiaozhi had already completed one hundred.

How could Sister Xiaozhi, who usually looks so weak and small, endure for so long?

thirty!

He silently counted, realizing he couldn't keep going until he had picked thirty!

Sweat dripped down his head and onto the ground.

"elder sister…"

Su Qing opened her left and right hands at the same time and grabbed the stones off the two of them.

Everyone who felt the weightless pressure instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's all take a break."

"Miss, I'm still short seventy."

Xiaozhi looked into Su Qing's eyes, wanting to tell her to let go, as she hadn't finished yet.

"I've exceeded my exercise target for today, I'll continue tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Xiaozhi removed the stones from her body and, together with Su Zhen, shakily took steps to rest.

"Sister Xiaozhi...how are you so amazing..."

Su Zhen plopped down on the bench, taking deep breaths of fresh air.

"I... practiced for a few more days to get to this level. Before that, I could only complete thirty."

Hearing Xiaozhi say that she couldn't do it before, but can now do so much, she must have been practicing for a long time.

It turns out that the older sister had already arranged training for Xiaozhi, without including him.

"Sister, you are biased!"

He pouted and pretended to be angry.
