Bai Jiangnan walked over: “What did he say?”
Yan Yifan tried hard to make himself look like nothing was amiss, saying: “Didn’t say anything?”
Bai Jiangnan raised an eyebrow. He had finally caught a GAY, and still wanted to sting/prick Yan Yifan; how come he left so quickly?
Needless to say, subsequently, under Bai Jiangnan’s guidance, Yan Yifan tried almost every type of project in the gym, almost making Yan Yifan cry out.
Bai Jiangnan stood at Yan Yifan’s doorway, “I’ll call you tomorrow morning!”
Yan Yifan was sprawled on the door frame, “No way, right? Still have to go to work tomorrow morning?” His waist was about to break! His legs were also soft as if they didn’t exist!
Bai Jiangnan’s tone did not change: “Going running tomorrow morning, right? Five kilometers of morning jogging.”
Yan Yifan: “…Can—”
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Jiangnan, “No!”
Yan Yifan had a look like he was about to cry, looking very pitiful.
Bai Jiangnan laughed wickedly: “Didn’t you say that you can’t do anything right? Managing one’s own body is the best way to train a person’s willpower. If you can train a figure the same as mine, then, I believe that in other aspects of your life, you will also make progress.”
Yan Yifan was so stuffed with his big principles that he couldn’t refute them, so he had to beg for mercy: “Let’s go to the gym tomorrow evening, still have to sleep in the morning! Besides, after training for the whole night, I definitely won’t be able to get up tomorrow!”
Bai Jiangnan: “That’s why I’ll accompany you! I have also been exercising for seven or eight years; it is enough to be your private coach. So, you have to exercise according to my plan. Tomorrow morning at six, I will come to find you on time.” He revealed a smile, turned around, and left.
Yan Yifan [Erkang hand gesture]: Don’t! Come back! Let’s talk this through properly! Why must we do a morning run tomorrow morning?! Isn’t exercising in the evening enough? Ying ying ying!
Early the next morning, Bai Jiangnan was woken up by the phone ringtone. He squinted his eyes dizzily and took a look at the time; it was only six o’clock! He threw the phone outward.
The phone fell onto the carpet, twisted a few times, and the sound finally stopped. Yan Yifan, hiding under the quilt, had just sighed that the world was finally peaceful, when the quilt was violently lifted by someone, and bright light shot in.
“Who is it!” Yan Yifan was furious.
Bai Jiangnan: “Me.”
Yan Yifan opened his eyes. Bai Jiangnan stood before him and said: “It’s six o’clock, get up and wash up, we’ll go running in a moment.”
Yan Yifan only then remembered what happened last night. He had a look of horror, “Don’t want to!”
Bai Jiangnan: “Must!”
Bai Jiangnan pulled Yan Yifan up.
Yan Yifan: “Hey hey hey! Hurts hurts hurts! Let go, let go, let go!”
Bai Jiangnan: “Where does it hurt?”
Yan Yifan tearfully: “Arms hurt, lower abdomen hurts, butt hurts, legs hurt!”
Bai Jiangnan: “That’s because you haven’t exercised for too long. Go run a lap today, and in a few days it will be fine.”
Yan Yifan: “Don’t you have a bit of sympathy?!”
Bai Jiangnan dragged Yan Yifan to the bathroom, personally staring from the side. Yan Yifan had no choice but to enter and wash up.
After finally leaving the door, Yan Yifan was already fully awake.
Bai Jiangnan said: “Follow me and do it, this is a warm-up exercise.”
Yan Yifan looked at him with disdain, not wanting to move, so he twisted a few times in a haphazard way.
But Bai Jiangnan was teaching him one-on-one; how could this little trick be hidden from him? Bai Jiangnan immediately kicked Yan Yifan on the calf. Yan Yifan was caught off guard and almost fell face-first into the dirt [fell flat on his face].
Yan Yifan stumbled a few steps to stabilize his form. The expression on his face was very unpleasant from anger, but Bai Jiangnan had a straight face: “Don’t think about slacking off.”
Yan Yifan followed Bai Jiangnan’s movements pitiably and did it once. His body was warm. Bai Jiangnan patted his back and said: “Good, this time it was done okay. If you don’t warm up, it’s easy to get injured later.”
Yan Yifan: Otherwise, just from that kick you gave me, how could it just pass like this?
The two started jogging. Bai Jiangnan had long legs; although it was said to be a slow jog, he immediately opened up a distance of more than ten meters from Yan Yifan.
Yan Yifan didn’t even make a sound, just watching Bai Jiangnan’s figure already far away.
Yan Yifan: I’d better run slower and rest for a while.
Just as Yan Yifan was preparing to slack off, a figure came over. Yan Yifan: “Why did you run back?”
Bai Jiangnan: “I forgot, I instinctively dashed out. Today is mainly for you to run, I’m watching from the side. Move your feet, don’t walk!”
Yan Yifan: … QAQ
Thus, the two’s morning run turned into “Run fast!” “Don’t stop!” “Move your feet! Don’t walk!” all along the way.
Yan Yifan panted huff huff huff: “His grandmother’s, it’s more tiring than my college entrance exam!”
Bai Jiangnan: “A body of lazy meat! Better to lose it all!”
Yan Yifan: QAQ I run! I run! I run!
Anyway, by the time Yan Yifan finished running the full five kilometers, the time had already reached eight o’clock. The two returned to the hotel to take a shower and had breakfast. When they went to the film crew, Yan Yifan: “Surprisingly energetic!”
Bai Jiangnan: “Not sleepy anymore? Looks like we have to continue tomorrow.”
Yan Yifan: QAQ
Thus, Yan Yifan’s morning runs and his “every-so-often” gym life pulled back the curtain. Every day he was scolded until he was panting, and after finishing his manuscript, he would sleep the moment he hit the bed. He actually bid farewell to his decade-long life of boring gossip on message boards, forums, Weibo, and Moments.
Thus, under Young Master Yan’s Weibo, a pair of fans were strange: Why hasn’t Young Master Yan posted on Weibo for so long? Was he abducted by aliens?!
The effect of exercise was quickly manifested on Yan Yifan. He slept soundly at night, did not feel sleepy during work in the day, and his whole person was spirited. Added to his handsome appearance and elegant bearing, the frequency of his appearance in the mouths of little girls became even more frequent.
This day, Yan Yifan was preparing to go borrow some materials. Passing by a temporarily constructed room of the film crew, he vaguely heard sobbing.
Yan Yifan blinked his eyes and heard that it was a little girl’s voice. He walked toward the sound. Discovering that it was actually Chu Yani and her assistant Wang Yan.
Chu Yani shrank her shoulders: “How could my phone be broken?”
Wang Yan hugged her arms with both hands, lazily saying: “How would I know? If it’s broken, just buy another one.”
Chu Yani: “But, but when I gave it to you, the phone was clearly fine.”
Wang Yan: “What do you mean? Are you saying it was me who broke it?! I worked so hard to help you carry things, running around busy processing the film crew’s relationships, and now you come pointing at my faults? Do you have any conscience? Don’t think that because your momentum is good, I am afraid of you! If you have the ability, go report me to Sister Liu!”
Chu Yani flinched, and her crying was even more sobbing.
Wang Yan rolled her eyes, “All day only knowing how to cry, cry, cry! So unlucky!”
Chu Yani seemed not to even dare to cry; her crying sound became much smaller.
“If you don’t like her crying, don’t follow her anymore,” Yan Yifan walked over and said.
When Wang Yan saw it was him, she hurriedly changed her expression, somewhat ingratiatingly saying: “Young Master Yan, you are also here! What a coincidence!”
Yan Yifan looked toward Chu Yani. When Chu Yani saw that it was him who appeared, she hurriedly turned her body; it looked like she was secretly wiping tears. Yan Yifan looked toward Wang Yan: “I have never known that an assistant could shout at an artist?”
Wang Yan’s face stiffened, “I, I was just, just in a bad mood; the way I spoke just now was a bit unpleasant, usually I am not like this.”
Yan Yifan laughed hehe, and handed a pack of tissues to Chu Yani.
“Thanks,” Chu Yani said with a nasal voice, took the tissues, and wiped her face wildly a few times.
Seeing that Yan Yifan ignored her, Wang Yan wanted to slip away secretly. Who knew—
“Stand still!” Yan Yifan said.
Wang Yan’s footsteps of trying to sneak away stopped. Yan Yifan said: “Apologize to her.”
Wang Yan: [Angry]
Seeing that Wang Yan had an angry face and was even secretly glaring at her, Chu Yani pulled at the corner of Yan Yifan’s clothes and said: “No, don’t anymore. Actually, Sister Wang takes pretty good care of me.”
Wang Yan took advantage of the situation to get off the donkey, hurriedly saying: “Yes, yes, I usually take pretty good care of Little Chu! Today was an accident! Hehe, accident!”
Yan Yifan looked toward Chu Yani: “You have a good temper and don’t hold a grudge, but her? Today I helped you, next time if you are bullied again, who will stand up for you? A person cannot be too weak, otherwise you will be bullied by others. Sometimes you also have to stand up and speak for yourself.”
Wang Yan secretly glared at Chu Yani.
Chu Yani shrank her body, lowering her head, her voice very thin: “Sister Wang, she is truly not bad to me.”
Yan Yifan saw all of this in his eyes. She herself didn’t mind, so it would be meaningless for Yan Yifan to say more. He nodded: “As long as you have a chord in your own heart [as long as you are aware].”
Chu Yani let out a thin “en.”
Yan Yifan: “Then I am leaving.” He said this, turned around and walked toward the outside; he still had to go borrow materials.
Chu Yani looked at his back, her eyes full of admiration and longing. She bit her lip gently, took two steps forward, wanting to chase after him: “Yan, Yan Yifan.” Unfortunately, her voice was too small; Yan Yifan didn’t hear it.
And the only one who heard, Wang Yan, gave a heavy, cold snort and said: “Toad wanting to eat swan meat [a phrase about wishing for something out of one’s league]! You also don’t look at what kind of thing you are! Do you think he will like you? He is Yan Zihua’s own younger brother! How many women want to be his girlfriend! Would it be your turn?! Hmph!”
Wang Yan wanted to curse him a few more words to vent her anger, but Yan Yifan had just left, and she didn’t dare to be too blatant. This Young Master Yan was a notoriously omnivorous animal; he had taken all kinds of women as girlfriends before. It’s hard to guarantee that he wouldn’t take a fancy to Chu Yani one day. Wang Yan thought she had better be careful, and wait until she leaves this film crew to say anything.
