237 — Exercise In The Gym (2)

"There's a bed over there if you want us to move to the next base you know, because the way you're looking at me is seriously giving me ideas." Hidden under his playful tone this time was a hint of eagerness.

He knew when she came in, as early as when she opened the door. He felt a bit alarmed and angry at first. He left her to sleep because he wanted her to eat and rest well, which he couldn't see her doing here.

But seeing the way she paused and hid without saying anything, he decided to observe her and see what she was up to.

When he saw her starry eyed look and hungry expression fully from the corner of his eyes in the mirror, the pure delight birthed in his heart gave him a burst of strength.

Someone sure looked healthy and interested.

It was when he saw her fingers make a grasping motion that he exposed her. If she wanted to touch, she definitely had his express permission.

When she moved close enough to him, he teased her further, "So, do you like what you see?"

Pei Yueran's face burned and she turned away, but she still gave a quick nod, making Li Chuanmo laugh.

"Would you like to sit down for a while? Let me complete the last set, and then we can go upstairs to freshen up. Let's go on a date."

Pei Yueran nodded with shining eyes, then said, "I'd love that. But I don't want to sit down. I want to do a little exercise. I've been inactive for too long already."

Li Chuanmo looked at her knee length gown and had just opened his mouth to say he wasn't sure she was dressed appropriately when she raised her arms and pulled off the gown in one smooth motion.

Looking at the sports bra that hugged his latest obsession and the gym pants that were almost melded to her skin, emphasizing her curves, it was Li Chuanmo's turn to swallow.

It seemed that he would need another bottle of water.

Unaware of the burning gaze of a certain someone, Pei Yueran walked forward to a few meters and took her position, planning to start with squats. From this angle, she could follow Li Chuanmo with her eyes while still getting some exercise done.

When she looked up, Li Chuanmo was still staring at her. "What? Won't you continue your regimen?"

See the blank look on her face, he almost gritted his teeth. So she was no longer affected, right?

Then he had to make her feel what he was feeling.

So after leaving the words "Don't be in a hurry," Li Chuanmo walked to the weight bench and sat down as Pei Yueran watched under the guise of doing squats.

When she saw him take the heavy looking barbells, she thought he was going to strengthen his arm muscles again.

Until he put the long barbell on his hips, adjusted his position and began to move his hips in a thrusting motion.

Pei Yueran forgot about squats and just ogled him.

Wasn't this exercise done mostly by women to strengthen their core muscles?

"Who says only women need core muscle strengthening? Infact, men probably need it more."

It was when Li Chuanmo spoke that Pei Yueran realized she had voiced her thoughts out loud.

"Besides, I'm doing this all for your sake." Li Chuanmo continued to speak without breaking his rhythm.

Pei Yueran decided she didn't want to dig deeper into how his exercise was all for her sake, so she kept quiet.

On another note, it reminded her that she had not exercised her waist in a while, so spying a hula hoop at the corner, she walked towards it, picked it up and swung it over her head.

Before long, she was spinning the hoop quickly with her waist. She loved the feeling of finally putting her muscles to work, not to mention the childhood memories hula hooping evoked. It used to be one of her favorite activities to do, and she found it fun even now.

Seeing that nimble waist spin faster and faster so expertly, Li Chuanmo was distracted, sitting up to watch her with his eyes gleaming like a predator's. He waited for her to slow down before going to stand in front of her.

"You know," he began conversationally, "I just thought of something."

Pei Yueran stared at him, pure innocence reflected in her eyes. Li Chuanmo tried very hard not to focus his eyes on her chest that was currently heaving up and down due to the intensity of her physical exercise.

"What?"

Li Chuanmo didn't rush to answer, first taking off the hula hoop and throwing it to the side. He then hooked her waist with one hand and dragged her closer to him, locking her in place with the other.

"I was just thinking, I need to exercise my hip muscles, and you are also exercising your waist for flexibility. Why don't we do an activity together that is guaranteed to achieve both goals?"

Pei Yueran shivered and blushed red as his hot breath fanned her ears, though she couldn't tell if it was due to the stimulation or to her excitement. Under his hot gaze, she nodded.

She encircled his neck with her arms when Li Chuanmo swung her up and walked steadily towards the bed set in one corner of the gym.

Pei Yueran subconsciously wondered why there was a bed in the gym, then reacted a few beats later, "Wait, if it's the kind of exercise I think you're talking about, are you sure it would be good for my waist? If it's true, all those times, why did my waist feel so sore afterwards?"

Unfortunately, Li Chuanmo was too keyed up to answer these questions, and Pei Yueran also quickly forgot about them when they began their expedition between the sheets.

The good thing was that the gym was soundproof.

A while later, after both of them came back to earth, Pei Yueran complained as she panted, "I doubt this "exercise" helps my flexibility. My waist is killing me instead!"

Li Chuanmo pulled her closer, his big hand massaging her waist gently as he said in a roguish tone, "it's because we've not practiced enough. The more frequently we exercise, the more flexible your waist will become."

Pei Yueran eyed him sceptically. Why was it so hard to believe him?

"You think you can deceive me?" She wasn't a naive teenager!

Li Chuanmo said seriously, "If you don't believe me, should we continue? I'll prove it."
