Volume 6: Summer Chapter 29 Sofa
Lin Yu fell to the ground.
The sun was shining directly on his face, and sweat was dripping down his face. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face.
Footsteps were heard behind me.
"You ran 33 and a half laps," Jiang You walked over to him, squatted down, and stuffed a bottle of iced Coke into his hand, "You ran 10 laps more than I did this morning."
Lin Yu raised his head and drank half a bottle of Coke. He panted and turned to look at Jiang You. He said, "I feel a little relieved."
Jiang You said: "Exercise makes you happy."
Lin Yu smiled.
"If you like fighting monsters, do you want to join the Special Operations Department?"
"Join the Special Operations Department?"
"It may be expanding recently. If you want to join, I'll keep an eye out for you. You might meet a little demon girl with a furry tail."
"Really?"
"I've only seen it in novels," Jiang You gave Lin Yu a cigarette and said, "Mr. Lin, you are a successful person..."
"It hasn't been that long." Lin Yu interrupted Jiang You.
"Of course not," Jiang You lit his cigarette for him, "If the annual turnover of my small shop could reach over a million, I would definitely be proud of it."
"That's because you don't want to."
"That's not possible either," Jiang You sat on the ground, looking at the thin clouds floating in the blue sky, "It was the Chinese New Year in February, and it's been more than three months now."
"Only more than three months?"
"yes."
"I feel like a long time has passed." Lin Yu took a puff of cigarette.
Jiang You didn't say anything else. He took out his cell phone and watched the netizens quarreling for a while. When he was watching it with great interest, Lin Yu spoke.
“I’m a little anxious,” he said.
"Yeah."
"When I first took over the factory, there were many problems waiting for me to solve. While I was solving them, one problem after another kept coming up. But at that time, I could see the direction, and solving a problem was like taking a step forward," Lin Yu watched the smoke slowly dissipate. "But I don't know when everything started to go astray. I had no idea where the problem was. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get back on track. Everything was out of control. The company, the woman, the whole world, everything changed. I felt like I had been living a fake life for the past few decades."
"I feel like it's fake too. I should have eight-pack abs by now."
“This is different.”
"Why is it different?" Jiang You put out his cigarette on the ground. "I want to be able to command my digestive system to absorb only 10 to 20 percent of what I eat, only the useful parts, and then let the muscle fibers tear, repair, and tear again on their own."
"If you can do this, you don't need to exercise."
"So you see, we can't even control our own bodies."
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment.
Jiang You pulled a blade of grass out from the cracks in the rocks and asked, "Have you ever thought that the reason you feel out of control and that the measures you have taken are ineffective and cannot solve the problem is because you haven't seen enough and the information you have obtained is not enough?"
"If I knew this at that time, maybe Xiao Rui and I..." Lin Yu sighed slightly, "maybe I wouldn't have dug her to be by my side."
"I'm right, right? Since you think the world has changed, why not take a look around more?"
"I was too impatient. I, I wanted to prove that I could stand up again."
"Can't accept failure?"
"I think I accept it, but..."
"I can't accept that after working so hard to lose weight for a year, I'm still fatter," Jiang You tore leaves. "When I ordered milk tea, the second cup was half price. If I ordered the wrong one, I'd go crazy."
"Would you like some milk tea?"
"No, I just feel sorry for these unscrupulous merchants who like to organize activities that make consumers mistakenly think they will lose something if they don't buy something, such as limited-time discounts, limited products, and double points on weekends." Jiang You changed his sitting position. "Boss Lin, you have lost hundreds of millions."
"And many others."
"I'm not crazy, that's amazing."
"Perhaps."
"When I get eight-pack abs, you'll definitely get them all back."
"Thank you, Brother Jiang," Lin Yu said sincerely, "I will come over every day to supervise your exercise."
"What Jiang Ge? You are older than me, okay? I am still a young boy. You should call me..."
“Yes, yes, yes…”
"Where's the milk tea?" Jiang You asked him.
"What?"
"On Ele.me, the second cup of Xiaoniu tea is half price, and members can redeem a 9-yuan red packet. I want a matcha smoothie, large, full of sugar."
Lin Yu took out his cell phone.
…
After Lin Yu left, Jiang You decided to burn off some sugar, so he walked a few laps in the yard. When he walked the seventh lap, he heard some music. Jiang Mo sat on his recliner and watched some videos.
Jiang You stopped and looked at him for a while. "I have accomplished three major things today. Your art exhibition is done. Your friend is done. Your younger brother's psychological problem is also solved."
Jiang Mo looked up at him, then lowered his head again.
"You are responsible for training the cat," Jiang You assigned the task, "On Children's Day, I want to see it go through the fire ring."
Jiang Mo watched a short video.
The music changed.
Jiang You walked to the camphor tree and pulled down another leaf. "Luckily you tore this half bald, otherwise I would not be able to get back what I said today." He turned around and said, "I'm going to go to Sister Nan's place, you can look after the house."
…
After arriving at Guanghe Bookstore, Jiang You felt a little disappointed.
There weren't many people in the store, but all the lazy sofas were occupied. After retracting his gaze, Chen Nan walked over to him and reached out to straighten his collar. He then realized that the edge of his collar had been rolled up. He said, "I was planning to take a nap at noon."
" I don't sleep in the bed at home."
"I like your place. By the way," Jiang You asked Chen Nan, "Does Yunyun have any activities on Children's Day?"
"No, her dad said he wanted me to accompany her to the newly opened Ocean Park, but I refused," Chen Nan said softly, "The final exams are coming up soon, and he has to be a good father now. What was he doing a few years ago?"
"Ocean Park? Where is it located?"
"It's close to the new district. I heard it's quite fun."
"Does Yunyun want to go?" Jiang You asked.
"I told her to go during summer vacation. There are hotels there. We can stay overnight and have fun for two days without worrying about homework."
"How about coming over and spending Children's Day with my son?"
"Aren't you going to hold that art exhibition?" Chen Nan asked.
Jiang You told Chen Nan about the exhibition content that he, Lin Yu and Liu Boyang had discussed. He said, "Come over and set up a bookstall, put some picture books and children's books and the like. When Yunyun gets tired of playing downstairs, she can go upstairs to rest, eat some snacks, watch a movie, and play some games. What do you think?"
Chen Nan thought about it and said, "Okay."
"When Yunyun has her summer vacation, we'll go to Ocean Park together."
"As you say."
