Chapter 5 Increased Physical Strength
"How about we work out our chest?" Bai Sheng suggested casually.
"Let's do bench presses then!"
The boy with the buzz cut patted Bai Sheng on the back and led him away.
Bai Sheng glanced back at the direction of the butterfly machine.
The yoga pants are still sitting there.
Her face was as white as paper, and she was squeezing the sports drink bottle in her hand so hard it was almost deformed.
The boy with the buzz cut followed Bai Sheng's gaze and glanced over as well.
Then, he turned and shouted over there:
"Xiao Wan, are you done practicing? Come over here when you're done!"
"Your classmate?" Bai Sheng asked knowingly.
"My girlfriend,"
The buzz-cut guy spoke with remarkable ease, his tone even carrying a hint of pride.
"How is it? Pretty, right?"
"Beautiful." Bai Sheng nodded sincerely.
……
"Let's warm up first."
The boy with the buzz cut led Bai Sheng to the dumbbell area.
Without saying a word, he handed over a pair of five-kilogram dumbbells.
Bai Sheng took it, and with a flick of his wrist, he...
It's okay, not too heavy.
"Shoulder joint circles, fifteen times forward and fifteen times backward, then the Maneki-neko pose, understand?"
Bai Sheng shook his head.
The guy with the buzz cut didn't waste any words and first gave a demonstration himself.
Extend both arms to the sides, elbows at a 90-degree angle, forearms perpendicular to the ground. Then, using your upper arms as an axis, slowly rotate your forearms downwards until they are parallel to the ground, and then slowly raise them back up...
The whole process resembles a beckoning cat.
"This exercise activates the rotator cuff and must be done before bench press."
Bai Sheng copied the gourd in the same way.
After doing less than five, a deep soreness came from my shoulder.
It was so sour that Bai Sheng grimaced.
For the next hour
The short-haired guy led Bai Sheng through training, from bench press to dumbbell flyes.
The movements are broken down into extremely detailed steps.
Even fearing that Bai Sheng might get hurt, they taught him his breathing rhythm step by step.
Through conversation during training, Bai Shengcai learned that...
This naturally gifted individual is also a student who works part-time as a fitness instructor at this gym.
Bai Sheng was ultimately a fitness novice.
They practiced until they were grimacing and covered in sweat.
Xiao Wan, wearing yoga pants, sat on the dumbbell bench next to her, resting her chin on her hand, without saying a word the whole time.
"Hey bro, keep practicing, I'm going to the bathroom."
The boy with the buzz cut left in a hurry.
Taking this opportunity,
Xiao Wan glared at him, her emotions extremely complex.
Fear, pleading, resentment, and a tiny bit of... pleasure?
Bai Sheng returned a harmless smile.
The short-haired guy came back from the restroom.
Completely unaware of the undercurrents flowing across the table, Chong Baisheng sighed:
"My girlfriend is great in every way, except she's too shy. She doesn't dare to speak when she sees strangers."
Bai Sheng: "Indeed."
At the entrance of the gym,
"Hey bro, wanna grab some late-night snacks? How about some Northeastern-style barbecue?"
The guy with the buzz cut invited Bai Sheng.
Bai Sheng waved his hand: "Never mind, I've already eaten tonight."
"Alright."
The boy with the buzz cut seemed to suddenly remember something, and pulled his phone out of his pocket, waving it in the air.
"Hey bro, let's add each other on WeChat. I come here with my girlfriend every day at this time, we can work out together from now on."
Bai Sheng gave an OK sign: "No problem."

Bai Sheng looked at the lines of small black text that appeared before him.
Adam's apple bobbed, filled with immense excitement:
"Come and stand up!"
A gentle evening breeze cooled the sweat on my face.
but,
The body heat didn't decrease; instead, it felt as if it had been stirred by a breeze.
It got hotter and hotter.
That heat slowly seeped out from between my bones.
Bai Sheng looked down at his hands.
The tips of my fingers are slightly red; I open my fingers and then close them again.
It makes a slight clicking sound.
The bones are moving!
Something is being tightened.
Immediately afterwards, a tingling sensation shot up from the base of my spine.
Climbing up along the spine,
It passed through the thoracic and cervical vertebrae, finally exploding at the back of the head.
My entire scalp was tingling.
He felt an unprecedented sense of ease!
He tried holding his breath and silently counted to one hundred.
My heart rate is stable, and I don't feel any tightness in my chest.
Exhale again, a long, white arrow of air...
In the night air,
It coalesced into a straight line and dispersed much more slowly than usual.
"Did it work?"
"Just how strong am I right now?"
Bai Sheng walked to the edge of the playground in a daze.
He pulled both hands out of his pockets, slowly bent over, and assumed a starting position.
After twenty laps,
Bai Sheng stood at the door, breathing steadily without panting.
That's great! I don't have to worry about physical fitness tests anymore!
Bai Sheng was very happy to think of this.
Wait a minute, it still has a bit of the emperor's golden hoe about it.
If this pace continues...
Breaking all sorts of human world records is perfectly acceptable!
Ok……
Bai Sheng ultimately gave up on this goal.
Suddenly becoming a sports prodigy,
The trajectory that followed was beyond his control.
"Damn, how come it's past eleven?"
Bai Sheng stopped in front of the dormitory building.
The access control is closed!
The lobby was completely dark, with only a few corridor lights still on.
The dormitory supervisor had obviously already gone to sleep.
"but……"
Bai Sheng still felt feverish at this moment.
It's like a newly broken-in engine; all the parts are running smoothly.
Stopping it actually felt unsatisfying.
He took two steps back and looked up.
The second-floor corridor window was open, with one leaf partially ajar.
The window is about four meters above the ground.
Directly below is a rainwater pipe.
On the wall, there are still a few protruding brick seams and the bracket of an air conditioner outdoor unit.
"What a delightful height!"
Bai Sheng took two running steps.
He stepped onto a protruding brick seam in the wall with his right foot, using the momentum to leap upwards.
He firmly gripped the outer edge of the second-floor corridor window sill with both hands.
The entire movement was performed in one smooth motion.
Even he himself was taken aback.
He could never have done this before.
His fingers were like five steel hooks.
It was stuck to the cement surface on the outer edge of the windowsill.
Draw your shoulder blades back.
With the latissimus dorsi muscles engaged, the body was lightly pulled up.
……
"Mmm~ it's still more comfortable lying down."
Bai Sheng rolled over, lying on his right side, holding his phone in his left hand.
correct,
Bai Sheng even posted a forum thread back then, complaining about the unscrupulous businesses running skewers restaurants.
I wonder how things are now?
He opened the forum mini-program.
I went to the backend and found that my posts had actually reached 99+.
Scrolling through the top trending posts again,
He was clearly number one today.
"Bump this post. I stayed in this room for two days and got a headache and a cough. I didn't even ask for my deposit back."
"Avoid this! College students are still too hard to kill."
"Bump! I hope more people can see this!"
