After dinner, they didn’t clean up the dishes. The whole family went out for a walk and stopped by the gym near the community to inquire about prices.
This gym is a chain, and it has female trainers who are fit and have gorgeous abs.
The female trainer was very enthusiastic: "In eight months, I can guarantee you will weigh less than a hundred pounds, of course ninety-nine pounds counts."
She was quite humorous too.
Mother was a bit hesitant: "Let’s check out a few more places?"
Father said: "This one is close to home, it’s pretty good."
The female trainer said: "It’s only eight o’clock now, I can give you a trial class. If you think it’s good, you can sign up today, and I’ll give you a 25% discount."
Sheng Tang had looked up some information online and had some knowledge about exercise.
"I’ll give it a try." She said to her parents.
She trained with the coach for thirty minutes and felt that she was very professional and quite assertive.
Sheng Tang needed someone assertive to keep her in line, otherwise she would definitely give up if it got too tiring.
Her parents and grandmother waited in the gym’s lobby, drinking tea.
Grandmother said: "That girl is very good. Tangtang is too young to train with a man, a female is better."
Father also said: "There’s really no need to compare three different places. You can check reviews online and you’ll know. This gym is pretty good, quite reputable."
Mother was convinced by their words.
Sheng Tang came out after thirty minutes, drenched in sweat.
She was very satisfied.
Mother paid.
They got a one-year gym membership and bought 100 classes, three times a week.
The coach gave them a discount and rounded off the total to 25,000 yuan.
"Mom, thank you!" Sheng Tang was grateful.
Her parents’ open-mindedness was very precious to her.
"This is your money!" Mother laughed, "There’s 5,000 yuan left. Over the weekend, we’ll buy you a few sets of workout clothes and two pairs of sneakers."
"Mom..." Her brother carefully tugged at Mother’s sleeve.
The whole family burst into laughter.
"There’s some for you too." Mother hugged her son, "When have I forgotten about you?"
That night, Sheng Tang was so tired that she fell asleep early.
She woke up around five in the morning.
After doing crunches yesterday, her entire abdomen hurt like crazy when she sat up today.
She winced and groaned, slowly sitting up.
Sheng Tang was no longer sleepy and washed up quickly, then sat at her desk to do homework.
She hadn’t finished last night’s homework.
Grandmother was already awake, out for her morning exercise and to buy breakfast for the family.
Sheng Tang spent an hour finishing her homework, and grandmother came back with breakfast.
She hurried off to school.
Ultimately, her young age helped as the pain from the crunches lessened significantly after her morning activities, leaving only a slight ache.
At the school gate, she met Jiang Baocu.
Jiang Baocu had heavy dark circles and looked exhausted: "Morning."
"Did you catch ghosts last night?" Sheng Tang was curious, "Why’re you in such a state?"
"I was too excited to sleep." Jiang Baocu leaned on her, swaying as she walked.
Sheng Tang was like a wall, could hold her steady.
"What made you so happy?" Sheng Tang asked with a smile.
Jiang Baocu glanced at her: "You really don’t care about me! My Weibo, it’s been reposted over thirty thousand times, I’ve gained more than eight thousand followers."
Sheng Tang: "..."
"I stared at my phone all night, watching reposts and comments. Before I knew it, dawn came." Jiang Baocu sighed, "It’s amazing! I’ve never been this popular in my life!"
Sheng Tang couldn’t help but laugh.
She almost forgot how simple and pure the joy of a young girl could be.
A small sense of achievement could keep her awake all night.
As for Sheng Tang herself, she was a bit desensitized to many things, having experienced too much glory in the past.
"That’s great!"
"I’m going to become an influencer." Jiang Baocu said, "Sheng Tang, do you have any more classic quotes for me?"
Sheng Tang laughed: "So are you going to be the influencer, or am I?"
"Don’t be so picky, let me borrow some fame, please!" Jiang Baocu clung to her, acting spoiled.
Someone walked past them.
