NOVPUBChapter 1170: Chapter 1170: Peggy Lewis Despises Herself_1 Chapter 1170 -1170: Peggy Lewis Despises Herself_1 “From now on, tell me when you’re working,” Lyke Zhekova said as he sat next to Peggy Lewis, “I find that I’m particularly efficient when you do.”
Peggy felt embarrassed to say it once, let alone twice.
Under extremely deliberate situations, Peggy wasn’t sure if she could say it out loud.
Now the two were sitting closely, even touching each other.
Lyke’s long legs touched her knees, and his arm was pressed against hers, without any hesitation.
Unlike before, when they weren’t dating, they always had to be wary of the appropriate distance.
They dared not get too close.
The fact that they could openly sit this close now, made Lyke extraordinarily happy.
...
“Are you done with work?
Do you want to take a shower?” Peggy asked.
“Hmm!” Lyke looked at Peggy with deep implications.
At first, Peggy didn’t think much of it.
But Lyke’s gaze was full of suggestions that could make one overthink.
Finally, Peggy caught on.
Her face suddenly turned red.
She had reminded him to take a shower, but she had no intention of doing anything else with him.
Wasn’t this Lyke’s habit?
To take a relaxing shower after dinner and work was done.
Usually, he wouldn’t think too much about it.
Why was he reading too much into it now?
Peggy didn’t know what to say.
Lyke’s behavior made her feel as if everything she said had some other connotation.
This made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Her heart was going through various ups and downs.
When they usually had dinner and nothing else to do, they would sit together and watch TV.
Through the use of the App platform on the TV.
Lyke’s TV had all the major video platforms.
All the big platforms – Pants, Peach, Mango, Penguin – they were all on his TV.
And he subscribed to all of them too.
Once, Peggy checked one of the platforms’ personal center, only to find that Lyke had set it to auto-renew.
It would automatically renew each year, so he wouldn’t have to bother about it, which was quite convenient.
Lyke generally had no specific requirements for TV shows.
He would just watch whatever she watched.
Whatever Peggy wanted to watch, Lyke would watch, with no opinion of his own.
Peggy asked and found out that his TV would only be turned on when she was around.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even watch TV.
Peggy couldn’t help but ask, why would he subscribe to so many platforms and set it to auto-renew if he didn’t watch TV?
But Lyke replied, “What if?”
“What if I want to watch?”
“Anyway, it’s more like insurance.
It’s there, ready for whenever I want to watch.”
What else could Peggy say?
She could only acknowledge that he could afford to be capricious.
However, since she moved in and she liked watching variety shows.
So, Lyke also began to watch them with her.
Normally, when they sat in the living room watching TV together, it was quite natural.
But now that they were formally together, their interactions felt different.
Peggy was extremely nervous.
Especially after what happened earlier, she was afraid of saying the wrong thing.
She always felt like her words could easily be misunderstood.
As Peggy was struggling, Lyke finally spoke up again: “However, I’m thinking of working out a little bit first, and then taking a shower.”
“Working out this late?” Peggy asked.
As she spoke, colorful scenes filled her mind.
Now she realized, it wasn’t that everything could be misconstrued, but her brain was somehow filled with colorful junk.
This was really bad.
How did she become like this?
When it came to exercise, Peggy couldn’t help but think of a certain two-person exercise.
However, when she saw Lyke’s straightforward expression, she felt disgusted with herself.
Instantly, she recognized that when she mentioned taking a shower earlier, it was because her mind was filled with colorful junk that led her to misunderstand.
She even misunderstood Lyke’s gaze.
In reality, Lyke didn’t have any improper thoughts at all.
Peggy was even more disgusted with herself.
Not only did she misunderstand herself, but she also misunderstood Lyke.
“I haven’t been exercising for a few days, and I feel stiff.
I need to work out,” said Lyke, “After working out, both my mental state and physical state feel different, very relaxed.”
Peggy nodded, she may be a homebody, but she wasn’t like Cindy Clarke who didn’t like to move at all.
She liked eating, but was afraid of gaining weight, so she had to rely on exercise.
Going to the gym, she didn’t have the determination for that.
She had joined a gym before, but she couldn’t hire a personal trainer.
Peggy’s income could easily afford a personal trainer.
But the personal trainer would control her diet.
This was something Peggy couldn’t do.
So, it was better to exercise on her own.
But being a homebody, she was always too lazy to go out.
She took a gym membership, but couldn’t go more than a few times a year.
The happiest time was when she was on her period.
That way, she had a legitimate excuse not to go to the gym.
So, after her gym membership expired, Peggy just didn’t renew it.
For that, the gym and the personal trainers all contacted her, really wanting her to renew her membership.
They annoyed Peggy a lot.
Anyway, Peggy knew her character.
No more wasting money on gym memberships.
She simply bought a yoga mat and some other small equipment.
Such as dumbbells, resistance bands, etc.
She would follow exercise videos at home.
After all, she knew all the precautions and key points of some exercises from when she trained with a personal trainer.
The exercises in the fitness videos were all the same, fundamentally the same.
Peggy felt quite comfortable exercising at home.
Then she heard Lyke say, “Do you want to work out too?”
The thought of the two of them exercising together made Lyke feel incredibly sweet.
Doing everything together, how great was that?
Peggy shook her head and said, “I just took a shower, you should have said it earlier.
Let’s do it tomorrow.”
“Alright.” Lyke didn’t insist, “Will you keep me company?”
“Knowing that you are here, it feels dull to exercise alone.” Lyke said again.
“Okay.” Peggy readily agreed.
Anyway, she could bring her tablet to watch her variety shows, she won’t be bored.
And besides, now was their honeymoon period, a moment when they didn’t want to be apart.
So Peggy took her tablet and followed Lyke to the fitness room.
Lyke changed into his workout clothes, warmed up a bit, then began doing crunches.
Peggy couldn’t focus on her variety show anymore.
She would look over at Lyke from time to time to see how he was doing.
Watching someone work out was normally a dull thing, but at this moment, Peggy felt as if she couldn’t get enough, it was more attractive than her variety show.
Suddenly, Lyke sat up and didn’t lie down again, just twisting his waist as he looked at Peggy, motionless.
Peggy looked at him quizzically.
What was wrong?
