Chapter 120: I’ll Treat You to a Meal Today

The scenery around the villa was very good, and the road was flat and open.

Although Jiang Xun was jogging, she would increase her speed a little after each lap.

Because the increase in speed was not obvious at first,Jiayi did not think much of it, but once he reached his third lap, he couldn’t hold on any longer.

Even if he were to run at a constant speed, he wouldn’t be able to manage three laps, never mind doing it when trying to keep up with Jiang Xun!

It was already close to winter. At this time of the year, the capital was especially windy, particularly the suburbs. Since Jiayi was panting heavily, he had to stop and breathe in through his nose to keep his mouth from drying out, but the cold wind hurt his throat and eyes anyway.

Jiayi’s breathing became more and more rapid. Finally, he could no longer hold it in and slowed down. “Jiang… Jiang Xun, do… Do you still want to…keep running?”

However, Jiang Xun seemed to be fine. Her breathing was still even and steady. She did not stop walking as she replied. “If you’re tired, go back and rest, but don’t stay still; walk back slowly or it won’t do your body any good.”

After speaking, she ran off again.

Her cameraman held up the gimbal, tears streaming down his face.

He regretted not coming out on his bicycle. Who was the idiot who’d said that Jiang Xun’s jogging speed would not be fast?! She was getting faster and faster!

At this point, he couldn’t even muster the strength to lift the gimbal. He used his last bit of willpower to catch up to Jiang Xun and stuffed the gimbal into her hands. “You… you take this with you…”

Jiang Xun blinked at him.

“It’s a livestream. There are viewers… watching. If you… have the energy, just look into the camera… and chat…talk to yourself…or something…”

Seeing the cameraman panting like this, Jiang Xun wanted to say that there was no need for a livestream this early in the morning.

She really didn’t expect that she would have to livestream her morning run.

Nonetheless, Jiang Xun continued running with the gimbal in her hands.

Since she couldn’t see any of the audience’s comments in the live chat, Jiang Xun could only talk to herself. “Everyone should exercise according to their abilities, especially in the cold weather. You must do enough warm-ups.”

[Oh my G.o.d, the cameraman and Jiayi are exhausted, but Jiang Xun is still chatting with us with a straight face.]

“Also, don’t chat while running in the cold weather when the wind is strong,” Jiang Xun added. “This little amount of exercise is nothing to me, so I’m fine with it. If you don’t feel tired, you can chat too.”

The audience was frustrated that Jiang Xun couldn’t see the live cat, rendering them unable to interact with her.

[Production team, aren’t you too cheap to have livestreams where we can’t interact with the streamer?]

[We want to chat with Jiang Xun!]

[You see? Jiang Xun can’t see us and can only talk to herself. How pitiful!]

Shuli looked away from those comments.

[Hehe, now you know why we said yesterday that Jiayi shouldn’t run with Jiang Xun, right? Because he can’t keep up at all.]

[Don’t try to keep up with Big Boss Xun.]

[Jiang Jiang does morning exercises live every morning. Although we run with her, we never last until she finishes. She only runs two or three laps, and she keeps her own pace. Jiang Jiang also told us to run at a speed that we can accept, so we don’t need to keep up with her.]

[I’m relieved to see the result. Anyway, I’m going to catch up on my sleep. Jiang Jiang, run by yourself first. Bye.]

[Did anyone take a screenshot of Jiang Xun’s sneakers?]

[I can’t. The camera was too fast, and most of the time, there were no good shots of the sneakers.]

[I feel that her sneakers should be quite comfortable if she can run in them for so long. I want them.]

After Jiang Xun finished running, she went back to the villa. Jiayi was so tired that he collapsed in his room. How could he have the energy to make breakfast at this point?

Kesi, Tianqing, and the other two male guests were eating breakfast.

Upon seeing Jiang Xun come back, Kesi looked surprised. “Jiang Xun, you’re back so soon?”

She said apologetically, “I’m sorry. We didn’t know when you would come back, so we didn’t prepare breakfast for you.”

“It’s okay.” Jiang Xun didn’t hide the look of scorn on her face. “Even if you did, it might not be enough for me.”

Jiang Xun went back to her room to take a shower, changed her clothes, and came out without makeup again.

Before arriving at the dining room, however, she heard Tianqing say, “Should we go buy some food today? The production team prepared enough food, but no one expected…”

Tianqing sneered. “They have such an appet.i.te that they emptied out the whole fridge. We have to go buy some more.”

[If you have the b.a.l.l.s then say the name. What are you trying to do by being so pa.s.sive-aggressive?]

[It’s only the first day. Do you have to make everything so unpleasant?]

[So what if she eats too much? Even if she ate a lot, it’s at the expense of the production team, not you!]

[It’s really embarra.s.sing for us women to see girls like these acting so nice in front of men but stabbing another woman when their back is turned.]

“It doesn’t matter if we buy more.” Kesi gently bit the tip of her chopsticks. “However… Jiang Xun can eat enough for three-to-four people. Isn’t it inappropriate for us to evenly split the money for groceries?”

“Of course, it doesn’t matter to me,” Kesi quickly explained, “I don’t mind these things. It’s just that I can’t pay for everything alone…”

Jiang Xun walked in slowly and took out two fist-sized buns and two eggs from the fridge.

There wasn’t much left in the fridge, however; Kesi had already used most of it to make breakfast, which she’d promptly shared amongst the four people.

It was a good thing Jiang Xun had brought her own food.

[Hehe, Kesi and the others took away all the bread and eggs in the fridge. How can they say that Jiang Xun’s the one who ate the most?]

[They didn’t eat much, but they left a lot of food behind.]

[But Jiang Xun can’t eat the leftovers. Even if she has a large appet.i.te, she wouldn’t eat their leftovers.]

[There’s a basket of bread on the table. When Kesi took it out to heat it up, was she aware that everyone was already full and couldn’t eat any more?]

[Kesi is honestly such an awful person. On one hand, she says that going Dutch isn’t good enough and wants Jiang Xun to pay more, but on the other hand, she says that she doesn’t care about the price??? What, is she implying that Jiang Xun is the calculative one?]

“I forgot to tell you,” Jiang Xun took the two pieces of bread left in the fridge and turned around, “that there’s no need to go out to buy groceries today. I ordered some dishes earlier, and they will be delivered at noon. I didn’t know what you liked, so I ordered some common dishes. Lunch is on me. There’s no need to go Dutch.”

[Big Boss Xun is so magnanimous!]

[Kesi and Tianqing were wearing branded clothes, but acting like underhanded schemers, while Jiang Xun was wearing regular clothes and acting so benevolently.]

[Jiang Xun: didn’t you say that I ate too much? I’ll treat you to some today.]

[Be reasonable. Rice was the only thing Jiang Xun ate a lot of yesterday, but the dish portions were around a normal quant.i.ty. Do you really expect her to pay for four people?]

[If it were me, I would have already started fighting with them. Since yesterday, they’ve been acting weird, and they’re already up to their dirty tricks first thing in the morning. It’s disgusting.]

It can’t be helped since it’s a livestream. With the camera on them, they can’t just start fighting.If there was no camera, I wouldn’t be able to tolerate it either.]
