Chapter 331: Childhood Friends Must Be Cultivated from a Young Age (14)

Moreover, the most important thing now was to get An Ziyu to like sports.

Shen Mubai thought for a moment and said, “Ziyu, how about we start jogging in the morning from tomorrow?”

An Ziyu stared at her with his beautiful eyes.

Under his pure gaze, Shen Mubai lied, “If we get up early every day and go jogging, we won’t get sick as easily.”

An Ziyu remained silent.

Seeing his silence, Shen Mubai continued, “Do you remember the last time you had a fever? Aunt Zhou and I were so worried. Jogging has many benefits. It not only strengthens the body but also helps you grow taller.”

An Ziyu’s eyes widened, “Grow taller?”

Shen Mubai nodded, “Yes, didn’t the teacher say so?”

The teacher had indeed mentioned it, but An Ziyu hadn’t paid much attention at the time. Now it was different because whatever Luoluo said was right.

If the teacher knew his thoughts, they would probably be furious.

Seeing his hesitation, Shen Mubai asked, “So, how about it?”

An Ziyu saw the hopeful look in her eyes and nodded, “Okay.”

The little protagonist had always been a bit delicate. Due to frequent falls when he was younger, he had always been somewhat resistant to exercise. Even as he grew older, this didn’t change much. Shen Mubai, finally convincing him to jog, felt both relieved and touched.

However, Shen Mubai completely forgot about the planned morning jog the next day, lost in sleep.

When An Ziyu rang the doorbell, Jiang Chen, the head of the household, opened the door.

“Ziyu?”

An Ziyu looked up and said, “Uncle, I’m here to find Luoluo. We agreed to go jogging together.”

Jiang Chen laughed, “She’s still sleeping in.”

Xiao Xueqing, who was making breakfast, turned around and said, “Ziyu, you’re here to find Luoluo?”

An Ziyu nodded obediently and said, “Aunt Xiao, Luoluo and I agreed to jog together.”

Xiao Xueqing said, “Luoluo hasn’t gotten up yet. You can go wake her.”

An Ziyu nodded and agreed.

He knocked on the door, and when he didn’t hear a response, he pushed it open and softly called, “Luoluo.”

The girl in pink pajamas on the bed didn’t react and continued to sleep soundly.

An Ziyu approached, staring at her sleeping face in a daze.

It wasn’t until the girl turned over that he came back to his senses. He reached out and gently poked her soft cheek, “Luoluo, wake up.”

The touch felt nice, so he couldn’t help but poke a few more times, forgetting to speak.

However, he didn’t use much force, so they stayed like that for a few minutes, and the girl continued to sleep soundly.

In the end, it was Jiang Chen who came in and woke her up.

Her father wasn’t as gentle.

Shen Mubai woke up with tears in her eyes, covering her cheek.

Jiang Chen said, “Ziyu has been waiting for you for a long time, and you’re still not up.”

Shen Mubai patted down her messy hair, remembering what she had promised yesterday. She felt guilty and said, “I’m sorry, Ziyu.”

An Ziyu shook his head and said, “Luoluo, hurry up, or we’ll be late.”

After brushing her teeth and washing up, the two began jogging in the neighborhood.

At this hour, there weren’t many people around, except for some health-conscious office workers, elderly people, and children.

Shen Mubai and An Ziyu’s delicate appearance attracted attention, and people greeted them along the way.

This morning jogging habit continued until sixth grade.

During this time, Shen Mubai also tried to cultivate the little protagonist’s interest in other sports, such as basketball, badminton, and high jump.
