Chapter 1383: Motivated by Heartflutter

Morning run?

Xiao Rou shook her head: "It’s too painful."

Xiao Rou is actually a very diligent girl, but she also has the small laziness common to most young girls.

The most typical example is that she will never stand when she can sit.

Even if she wants to lose weight, she will only solve it by eating less. Exercise is occasional, but not only asking her to exercise but also to get up early, that’s not possible.

Zhou Qi laughed, Xiao Rou’s current appearance was identical to when Zhou Chengchen was asked to do morning runs, but in Zhou Qi’s eyes, at that time Zhou Chengchen was defensive like facing a great enemy, while Xiao Rou now has a bit of girlish soft coquettishness.

"I’ll run with you; exercise is good for your health."

"Huh? You’ll run with me?"

Xiao Rou was dumbfounded. Zhou Qi running with her in the morning meant she could see him every day?

In an instant, what’s running? What’s getting up early?

At this moment, Xiao Rou’s mind only had three words — I’ll run with you.

"Hmm, is that okay?"

"Yes, yes, of course."

The words slipped out, and soon, Xiao Rou realized she seemed too eager, blushing a bit, she brushed the hair beside her ear: "Wouldn’t that be too troublesome for you? Don’t you usually have to train?"

"I also need to exercise."

"Oh."

Xiao Rou responded, buried her head in drinking soup, her long hair hung down covering her expression. When she confirmed Zhou Qi couldn’t see her face, Xiao Rou couldn’t help but smile so her eyes curved.

Even though Zhou Qi brought packed food, after the two finished eating, the table still had to be tidied up a bit.

Xiao Rou reached out, but Zhou Qi stopped her: "Go rest, I’ll take care of it."

"No..."

"Go on."

"Oh."

Zhou Qi doesn’t have the aloof temperament of Xi Siyan; instead, he feels very easygoing, but he also possesses an invisible kind of aura, giving the impression that once he decides something, others simply cannot refute with a feeling of calm and composure.

Xiao Rou didn’t insist and obediently went back to sit on the sofa.

She glanced over there a couple of times, then restrained herself from looking more, fearing her little thoughts would be discovered, focusing on her phone.

Zhou Qi’s arrival made her indescribably happy, but her body was indeed tired, and unknowingly, she fell asleep just like that on the sofa.

Zhou Qi, over there, cleaned up all the trash and packed it to be taken out later.

He turned around and saw Xiao Rou had already leaned on the sofa asleep.

Zhou Qi’s brow moved slightly; he washed his hands and came over, staring at the person who had fallen asleep for a few seconds, then reached out to pick her up, directly heading to the bedroom, carefully placing her on the bed.

The room didn’t have lights on, only the light from outside the living room shone in.

As Xiao Rou’s head touched the pillow, it tilted slightly, half of her face buried in it.

Zhou Qi withdrew his hand, but his body was reluctant to stand up, remaining in a half-kneeling posture by the bed, one hand supporting the edge of the bed, the other suspended mid-air.

In the dim light, Zhou Qi’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, the hand suspended in mid-air couldn’t help but slowly fall, gently resting on Xiao Rou’s cheek.

The soft touch transmitted from his fingertips to his heart, Zhou Qi couldn’t help but tremble all over.

His thumb only needed to shift slightly to gently touch Xiao Rou’s lips; he really wanted to move it like that.

It’s not about taking advantage, just moved by emotions.

But ultimately, reason won out; he still isn’t anything yet, he cannot!
