Chapter 14: It's been a long time coming


Because they failed to fight twice, Mu Zhengqing decided to defeat Lu Yiwei in terms of stamina.

At first, he was quite confident, after all, exercise was a routine for him.

Although Lu Yiwei looked fit, he had never heard of him working out.

After half an hour, Mu Zhengqing looked at Lu Yiwei, who was still not red-faced or out of breath, and felt confident.

This only showed that Lu Yiwei was not just a pretty face.

Indeed, winning against him would also feel rewarding.

After an hour, Mu Zhengqing looked at Lu Yiwei, who was still not red-faced or out of breath, and still felt confident.

He didn’t expect Lu Yiwei to have such stamina. It seemed he also exercised regularly, and Mu Zhengqing had underestimated him.

But it didn’t matter, he was still confident he could win.

After an hour and a half, Mu Zhengqing looked at Lu Yiwei, who was only breathing a bit heavily, and was not so sure anymore.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have suspected that Lu Yiwei was slacking off.

He was already starting to pant heavily, but Lu Yiwei still looked as if nothing had happened.

After two hours, Mu Zhengqing looked at Lu Yiwei, who was only slightly sweating, and admitted defeat.

He had previously boasted about fighting Lu Yiwei, but if they really fought, he would definitely lose.

Two hours was his usual exercise duration and also his limit.

However, he didn’t stop. Today he wanted to see how long Lu Yiwei could last.

Today, he was determined to go all out against Lu Yiwei.

After another ten minutes, Mu Zhengqing’s hands and legs started to disobey him.

But even so, he didn’t give up.

Just as Mu Zhengqing was ready to collapse in the gym, Lu Yiwei stopped.

Seeing Lu Yiwei stop, Mu Zhengqing exhausted his last bit of strength.

He now looked like he had just been fished out of the water.

“Have some water.” Lu Yiwei went out, poured a glass of water, and handed it to him.

Faced with this life-saving water, Mu Zhengqing didn’t stand on ceremony, and raised his limp arm to take it. Water, the source of life.

Seeing Mu Zhengqing so exhausted, Lu Yiwei’s eyes couldn’t hide his heartache.

It was his fault. He shouldn’t have tried to show off in front of him without paying attention to his physical condition.

No one noticed Lu Yiwei’s unusual behaviour, because the fans were all cheering, and Mu Zhengqing’s mind was focused on drinking water.

After drinking a glass of water, Mu Zhengqing felt like he came back to life.

Then he started to regret, thinking, really, what was the point of showing off.

Admitting that others are stronger than oneself is not shameful, but being stubborn and suffering for it is.

However, he must remember this in the future, and never say such things about fighting him again.

If they really fought, he would definitely be the one knocked out.

After all, in the face of absolute strength, all techniques are just tricks.

“You go take a shower first,” Lu Yiwei said after taking the cup from Mu Zhengqing’s hand.

Originally, they could each go back to their own rooms to shower, but since it was not yet ten o’clock, they couldn’t stay in their rooms for more than ten minutes.

Usually, ten minutes was enough for Mu Zhengqing to take two showers, but he was too tired now, and he didn’t dare take the risk.

As soon as Mu Zhengqing stood up, his legs were so weak that he almost fell, but fortunately, Lu Yiwei was there to support him in time.

After standing still, Mu Zhengqing wanted Lu Yiwei to let go, but Lu Yiwei refused to let go and supported him all the way to the washroom.

If it weren’t so inconvenient, Mu Zhengqing would have suspected that Lu Yiwei wanted to help him shower directly.

After closing the bathroom door, Mu Zhengqing looked at himself in the mirror and patted his face.

It must be because he was tired that his face was red, it couldn’t possibly be because he was embarrassed.

If he had known it would be this embarrassing, he wouldn’t have stubbornly held on earlier. Nothing could be more embarrassing than this.

But soon he realised there was something even more embarrassing waiting for him.

He hadn’t brought a change of clothes into the bathroom.

Gritting his teeth, Mu Zhengqing decided to go out wearing his previous clothes. At worst, he would just take another shower.

He absolutely wouldn’t let Lu Yiwei bring him clothes in front of the live stream audience.

Just as he picked up the clothes he had thrown into the dirty laundry basket, he heard a knock on the door.

“I’ve left your clothes at the door. Take them after you finish showering. I’ve already blocked the camera outside, so don’t worry,” Lu Yiwei’s voice came from outside the door.

Lu Yiwei’s voice was very soft, so apart from Mu Zhengqing in the bathroom, the live stream audience couldn’t hear what he said.

The reason Mu Zhengqing didn’t call for Lu Yiwei’s help earlier, was because he was mindful of the live stream.

Now, hearing that the camera was blocked, he immediately reached out confidently to grab the clothes at the door.

With clean clothes available, who would wear clothes soaked in sweat?

Lu Yiwei, who hadn’t left yet, watched as Mu Zhengqing’s wet arm reached out to take the clothes.

Lu Yiwei immediately turned and left.

After getting the clothes, Mu Zhengqing found a small note inside.

The note said, “New, never worn”.

Mu Zhengqing thought for a moment, and realised that every time Lu Yiwei gave him clothes, he would emphasise that the clothes were new and never worn.

However, this time he indeed needed to emphasise it, as there were intimate clothes involved.

“I’ve finished showering, you can go now,” Mu Zhengqing said to Lu Yiwei after coming out.

Lu Yiwei glanced at the washroom, his eyes darkening slightly.

He hesitated for a moment, then took his change of clothes and went in.

Mu Zhengqing was too tired today, he couldn’t let him help with the clothes and trouble him further.

However, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, there would be more chances later.

Before going in, he said to Mu Zhengqing, “Sit on the sofa and don’t move, wait for me for five minutes.”

Mu Zhengqing didn’t know why Lu Yiwei wanted him to wait.

He glanced at the time, it was exactly ten o’clock at night, and he could go back to his room to sleep.

Oh well, considering how much he helped him today, he would wait for him for a while.

Mu Zhengqing had not waited for five minutes before Lu Yiwei came out.

Looking at Lu Yiwei walking towards him, Mu Zhengqing had only one thought in his mind.

No wonder fans call him “President Lu”, he’s so extravagant, buying two sets of the same clothes, one to wear and one to keep.

Sure enough, the loungewear Lu Yiwei was wearing was the same as his.

Soon, Mu Zhengqing understood why Lu Yiwei wanted him to wait.

Lu Yiwei actually wanted to massage his legs.

“No need, I’m fine now,” Mu Zhengqing quickly refused.

How could he dare let Lu Yiwei massage his legs?

That’s right, whether he felt embarrassed or not, his first reaction was that he didn’t dare.

If his fans saw Lu Yiwei massaging his legs, they would definitely say that Lu Yiwei was madly in love with him.

If Lu Yiwei’s fans saw him massaging his legs, they would definitely curse him to death.

So, no matter what Lu Yiwei said, he would not comply.

“If you don’t get a massage, your legs will hurt tomorrow,” Lu Yiwei insisted.

“Leg pain is no big deal, I’m not going out anyway,” Mu Zhengqing said firmly.

Of course, he knew that if he didn’t get a massage, his legs would hurt tomorrow.

But compared to the pain, he didn’t want to end up trending with Lu Yiwei because of this.

People who didn’t know might think he was delicate and weak.

He was a man who could knock down a 200-pound thug with one punch.
