Ten minutes later, Chi Li, dressed in workout clothes and wearing a sports watch on her right wrist, appeared at the gym.
He wore a fitted short-sleeved sweatshirt, the soft and elastic fabric perfectly hugging his slender yet not thin shoulders and arms, outlining his smooth neck and a small patch of fair collarbone.
He wore matching athletic shorts, with loose legs that reached just to mid-thigh, swaying lightly with his steps.
After Chi Li finished a simple warm-up and stretching routine, she stood next to an empty, adjustable training machine, slightly bent over, studying the adjustment latches on the machine, when Shen Xunye quietly entered.
He didn't make a sound to disturb them, but simply stood a short distance away, quietly watching Chi Li.
A clean, light gray tracksuit wrapped around a young, vibrant body.
Beneath the loose shorts, a dazzlingly white, beautifully shaped thigh, and the faint pink hue and shadow at the top of the leg...
And that focused, slightly unconsciously sexy profile, the slightly sweaty bangs and the tip of his nose under the light...
Despite being the most ordinary sportswear and setting, the wearer's outstanding looks and physique, along with the unintentional blend of youthful naiveté and unaware allure, create a powerful and purely visual impact.
Like a newly ripened peach covered in morning dew, its skin is delicate, its color alluring, and it exudes a fresh and sweet fragrance that makes it hard to look away, and even... makes your throat tighten slightly involuntarily.
[Some people are just standing there, but they're already trying to seduce you.]
[I'm not here. [Looks down]]
[What a young and beautiful body... (wiping nosebleed)]
I'm very happy with how much skin I showed today, please keep it up! [wink]
[ Shen Xunye must have enjoyed watching this, right? [winking emoji]]
[If we watch any longer, some scenes that are inappropriate for children might appear.]
Shen Xunye shared the same concerns as the viewers in the live chat.
So he broke the silence in the room. "I'm coming."
"Oh, you're here?" Chi Li straightened up, turned around, and casually asked, "Have you been to the gym before?"
"Hmm." Shen Xunye nodded, strode over, and glanced down at the equipment. "You want to work out your abs?"
Chi Li: "Yeah, I think I've been eating too well lately, I'm starting to get a little belly, I need to work on it."
It has to be said that spending a long time in Raising House can easily make you lie down and become complacent.
"I'll assist you." Shen Xunye patted the equipment. "Lie down first."
Chi Li quickly lay down and, at Shen Xunye's request, first did a basic abdominal crunch.
"Tighten your core and use this area to generate power."
Shen Xunye placed one hand lightly on Chi Li's slightly sunken abdomen, which was caused by lying down.
Even through the thin sweatshirt, the warmth of Shen Xunye's palm traveled through him without any obstruction.
The heat felt like an electric current, causing his abdominal muscles to spasm almost imperceptibly, nearly dissipating the little strength he had just mustered.
Chi Li bit her lower lip, her thick eyelashes trembling violently at the slight blush that rose within her.
He tried his best to follow Shen Xunye's instructions, attempting to use his abdominal muscles to lift his upper body slightly.
I lifted it halfway up, then stopped with some difficulty.
His chest heaved with exertion, and the collar of his clothes was pulled open slightly, revealing a small patch of collarbone and chest glistening with sweat.
"Too loose." Shen Xunye's gaze fell on that dazzling patch of skin, then slowly moved downwards. "Lie back down first."
Chi Li, exhausted, lay back down.
He actually knows how to do that.
Because it was agreed that he would sell something, he went along with Shen Xunye's guidance.
He had originally intended to rely on his extensive experience to try out what it felt like to be a genius, but... just a touch from Shen Xunye's large hand had actually made him lose some of his strength...
Is this scientifically sound?
While he was questioning the science, Shen Xunye had already moved around to the front of the equipment.
He leaned down, abruptly shortening the distance between them.
His tall figure loomed over Chi Li, exuding a strong masculine aura, trapping Chi Li in the narrow space between the equipment and his chest.
"Look here," Shen Xunye said.
He didn't touch Chi Li's waist again, but instead reached out and grasped the other's hands that were gripping the handles of the equipment.
His hand completely enveloped Chi Li's, his palm burning hot. He guided Chi Li's hand, along with his arm and upper body, to perform an extremely standard and slow crunch.
"Feel the exertion," Shen Xunye's voice was even lower, "Tighten your core."
Guided by his words and actions, Chi Li was forced to focus more intently on feeling the tightening of his abdominal muscles.
Just as he regained some feeling, he noticed that Shen Xunye's firm thighs were pressing against the inside of his knees, which were slightly parted from lying on the equipment.
... What a terrible discovery.
Chi Li felt as if all the blood in her body rushed to her cheeks and ears, and even her neck turned bright red.
He dared not move rashly and could only passively follow Shen Xunye's movements.
With each roll, the contraction of the waist and abdomen seems to bring one closer into the range of the other's aura.
Each time you put something down, you briefly create a little distance, but in that brief gap, the lingering touch and warmth become even more vivid.
Why is it that even though they're doing something perfectly legitimate, my mind is filled with indescribable images? Is this normal?
[Of course that's right. [Nosebleed] Shen Xunye is a shrewd guy; he could have grabbed the middle to generate force, but he chose to grab the other person's hand.]
[I can tell, he really wants to spread my wife's legs...]
[Sweat, panting, guidance... I'll only mention these three keywords, what comes to mind?]
[Help! My live stream has gone offline...]
Sweat began to trickle down Chi Li's forehead.
The front of his light gray sweatshirt was also slightly damp with sweat.
The color deepened, subtly revealing the hue of the skin beneath and that delicate, soft contour.
Shen Xunye's gaze seemed to casually sweep over the wet patch.
He tightened his grip on Chi Li's hand, guiding Chi Li to make a deeper and slower curl.
Chi Li was forced to lift even higher, her abdominal muscles tensed to the extreme, causing a slight soreness.
From this angle, he could see Shen Xunye's face, which was so close to his own, more clearly; he could see the deep, dark color surging within his calm eyes; he could see his tightly pursed lips and the slight movement of his Adam's apple.
"That's enough." Shen Xunye's voice was terribly hoarse. "... It's ten o'clock."
He released Chi Li's hand, but did not immediately step back.
Instead, he braced his hands on the mechanical armrests on either side of Chi Li's body, completely trapping him beneath him.
