The Crazy Villain Wants Me to Love Her - Chapter 11
Chapter 11: What, Do You Want to Play?
Jiang Chilou propped her head on one hand, trying hard to recall last night’s dream, and slowly said: “I don’t know if it’s because I fed the koi yesterday afternoon, but I dreamed of them after I went to sleep last night.”
“At first, it was normal, just simply feeding the koi. But later, I don’t know how, I almost fell into the pond. You came to pull me, and you initially grabbed me, but who knew—”
“A huge koi demon suddenly emerged from the water, and it swallowed both of us whole… In the end, it seemed like you managed to get us out, and then, I woke up.”
The dream was very chaotic and fragmented, and she couldn’t remember how Gu Wan managed to get them out.
She only remembered that Gu Wan’s face was exceptionally clear in the dim dream.
And in her dream world, besides the koi demon, there seemed to be only Gu Wan.
After listening to Jiang Chilou’s dream, Gu Wan suddenly curved her lips: “A rather peculiar dream.”
Jiang Chilou lowered her head and sighed: “It’s alright.”
“After all, it’s a dream. Aren’t dreams always bizarre and fantastical?”
“Haven’t you ever had a dream like this?” Jiang Chilou looked at Gu Wan curiously.
“No.” Gu Wan lowered her eyes, the fingertips resting on the coffee cup involuntarily tightening slightly.
She rarely dreamed, but when she did…
Gu Wan’s fingertips suddenly relaxed, her eyes deep as an abyss.
Jiang Chilou didn’t notice and immediately followed up on her words.
“It’s good that you haven’t. I feel like these kinds of dreams are too tiring.” The scene changes too frequently. After experiencing such a dream, her head felt exhausted.
With that, Jiang Chilou quickly gulped down half a cup of warm water.
As soon as she put down the cup, Madam Zhou brought over her breakfast.
Jiang Chilou slowly stirred the warm lean meat porridge with a porcelain spoon. She glanced at the time on her phone and asked Gu Wan: “What time are you leaving?”
Gu Wan was pulled back to attention by Jiang Chilou’s voice and slowly replied: “Eight-thirty.”
“Ah,” Jiang Chilou paused, “but it’s only seven-ten now. That’s about an hour and a half until you leave.”
“Why are you up so early today?” she asked, confused.
Gu Wan took a sip of coffee: “Need to work out.”
“What?” Jiang Chilou’s eyes widened slightly: “Working out before work?”
Gu Wan hummed: “Is there a problem?”
Jiang Chilou shook her head blankly: “No.”
“I just didn’t expect you to be so disciplined even before work.” If it were her, she would rather sleep for an extra hour than wake up early to work out.
She had wondered why she saw a gym on the first floor. She thought it was just for show, but it turned out to be a place Gu Wan used.
Thinking this, Jiang Chilou couldn’t help but glance at Gu Wan. No wonder her figure is so well-maintained, especially the lines of her shoulders, back, and core. They look so superior.
“Do you work out often?” she couldn’t help but ask.
Gu Wan slowly put down her coffee cup: “Not really. Only three or four times a week.”
“That’s still a lot,” considering there are only seven days in a week.
Gu Wan smiled but didn’t speak.
A moment later, she stood up: “I’m going to the gym now.”
“Take your time eating.”
“Wait,” Jiang Chilou called out: “Can you wait for me?”
“I want to check it out too.”
Hearing this, Gu Wan glanced at the bowl of porridge in front of Jiang Chilou that was still more than half full.
“Why don’t you finish your breakfast first, and then go straight to the gym?”
“I’ll wait for you there.”
Jiang Chilou thought about it. The gym was on the first floor, not far from the restaurant. She could get there quickly after breakfast. She immediately agreed: “Okay.”
In the gym, Jiang Chilou’s eyes flashed as she watched Gu Wan doing warm-up exercises. She instinctively looked away, but after a moment, she couldn’t help but turn her gaze back to Gu Wan.
Gu Wan had changed into a light green yoga bra and black yoga pants. Her raven hair was simply tied up into a beautiful low bun.
This was the first time Jiang Chilou had seen Gu Wan dressed with such a high degree of skin exposure.
Hot, too hot.
She felt too embarrassed to keep staring.
Jiang Chilou turned her gaze away again, only occasionally taking a covert peek at Gu Wan from the corner of her eye. When her gaze swept over the other person’s superior abs (V-lines), she couldn’t help but feel envious.
She dreamt of having a toned physique like Gu Wan’s.
She wondered if she could develop abs by training with Gu Wan for a while.
Thinking this, Jiang Chilou couldn’t help but go over and ask Gu Wan after she finished her warm-up: “Gu Wan, do you have time to take me to work out with you sometime?”
Gu Wan looked at the person who was suddenly motivated and said lightly: “No need to wait for ‘sometime.’ We can start now.”
Jiang Chilou hesitated: “But you still have to go to work later. I’m worried you won’t have enough time.”
“It’s fine. It won’t take much time.”
“Coming or not?” Gu Wan asked her.
Hearing this, Jiang Chilou quickly replied: “Coming!”
She flashed Gu Wan a bright smile: “Thank you for the trouble.”
Gu Wan’s gaze swept over her: “It’s not too late to say that later.”
Jiang Chilou: ?
“What does that mean?”
Gu Wan slightly curved her lips, not answering her, only saying: “Warm up first.”
“Okay.” Jiang Chilou agreed.
Twenty-five minutes later, Jiang Chilou finished running on an incline. She leaned on the nearby equipment, her legs exhausted. Seeing that Gu Wan was about to lead her to the next exercise, she quickly waved her hand while panting: “Gu Wan, I can’t do it anymore.”
“You go ahead and train.”
Gu Wan looked at her: “Will you train later?”
Jiang Chilou didn’t think too much and answered directly: “No, I won’t.”
“Too tired.”
The moment her words fell, she heard a soft laugh from Gu Wan.
Jiang Chilou couldn’t help but look at her.
The moment their eyes met, Jiang Chilou suddenly remembered what Gu Wan had said earlier and immediately gave an awkward laugh: “I’m sorry, I really put you through trouble.”
Gu Wan smiled faintly: “It’s nothing.”
“Go rest well.”
Jiang Chilou touched her nose and quietly responded: “Mm.”
After Gu Wan left, Jiang Chilou found a stool nearby and sat down. She leaned against the back of the chair, watching Gu Wan, and soon took out her phone out of boredom.
Working out is too tiring. It’s not for her. She’s better suited for playing games.
As for abs and stuff, they can happen in her dreams.
Jiang Chilou consoled herself, picked up her phone, and opened a popular short video app she frequently scrolled through. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened it, the algorithm pushed a workout video to her.
However, this video was slightly different from the serious workout videos she had in mind.
It was different enough to make her look closely at the video tags: “Workout,” “Partner Glute Bridge.”
Jiang Chilou curiously tapped on the unfamiliar four-character search term, and in an instant, her homepage was flooded with partner workout videos.
She randomly clicked on one and saw a girl in the video leaning back against a gym bench, raising her hips and thighs to a ninety-degree angle. Another girl was supporting her shoulders, slowly kneeling on the floor to the sides of her pelvis. One person was above, one below, and the girl below supported the person above as they slowly performed the exercise.
Jiang Chilou was greatly shocked after watching the video.
You can work out like this???
She was confused but couldn’t help but continue scrolling through a few other videos.
A few minutes later, she looked up. Seeing Gu Wan who had just finished a set of back exercises, she couldn’t help but quickly walk over to her, holding out her phone:
“Gu Wan, I found a really interesting workout video. Take a look.”
“Is this rational???”
“Can people really work out like this?!!”
Gu Wan slowly wiped her sweat with a towel. After a few seconds, she finally lowered her head to look at the video Jiang Chilou was referring to.
A moment later, she slightly nodded.
“Theoretically, it can train the glutes, but this partner method is only moderately effective. Most of the time, people just play around with it for entertainment.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chilou couldn’t help but look at Gu Wan: “Have you tried it too?”
Gu Wan shook her head: “No.”
“Then can you do it?” Jiang Chilou asked curiously, a slight brightness in her eyes as she looked at Gu Wan.
“What?” Gu Wan slowly raised an eyebrow.
A smile curved on her lips. She stared meaningfully at Jiang Chilou: “Do you want to play?”
