As far as he knew, there were very few women who could do push-ups.
It was not until Lin Chuxia finished a set with standard movements that Qin Yang spoke up in surprise.
"How come you’re doing this too? I thought you girls didn’t like it."
"I’m okay with it. I think it saves time and is convenient."
As Lin Chuxia stood up and stretched her limbs, she rolled her eyes discreetly.
Disliked it?
Such a great full-body exercise that’s time-efficient and simple, directly working out all muscles, who wouldn’t like it?
But liking it is one thing, whether one can do it or not is another.
Qin Yang nodded in agreement, "Indeed very convenient. When I was in the Northwest, I would occasionally go running. But ever since we came here, I’ve always felt that running..."
He laughed a bit without continuing.
Lin Chuxia understood.
The residential compound housed a mixed crowd, and running out like that would certainly make one stick out like a sore thumb. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"I heard your unit has a sports field, where you can play basketball and table tennis, and also badminton, right?"
Qin Yang’s eyes lit up, "Do you play? If not, I can teach you."
"I’m okay with badminton, not so good at table tennis," Lin Chuxia pointed with her chin towards the mat, "It’s your turn. How many sets are you doing?"
"30 in a set, planning to do 5 sets. I can do a few extra with you if you’d like."
As he spoke, he began to exercise. His form was straight and steady, going up and down; 30 reps were just a bit over a minute’s work.
Lin Chuxia marveled, his physical fitness was indeed great.
Although she could do it, 15 reps were already her limit. But today’s exercises felt somewhat effortless. Could this be the so-called synergy of men and women working together without getting tired?
After they finished exercising, the two of them went to wash up.
Qin Yang had made some millet porridge in the morning and boiled some eggs, which were now ready. Along with fluffy, hot steamed buns and pickles, it was a delicious and nutritious meal.
"What are your plans for today?"
Qin Yang placed the peeled egg in her bowl.
"Going to buy fabric with Jiang Hong."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yang glanced at the curtains and chuckled softly.
The little wife had complained about the curtains several times since moving in two days ago. But changing them would be good, they should be able to be a bit more unrestrained.
If Lin Chuxia knew what Qin Yang was thinking, she would definitely regret this decision.
The two of them didn’t go to the Department Store; instead, they were taken by Jiang Hong to a fabric store.
"Although this place doesn’t have as many patterns as the Department Store, the styles here are quite trendy, and most importantly, it’s cheaper. Take a look and see if there’s anything you like. If not, we can still go to the Department Store."
Lin Chuxia also found the fabrics in the store quite attractive, mostly pure cotton, with many dacrons as well. But there were no actual curtain fabrics; all were cut in bolts and then pieced together by oneself.
Pure cotton wasn’t easy to wash, and light-colored dacron was like their old curtains, not blockout. In the end, Lin Chuxia chose a piece of fabric with a water-blue base and white water ripple pattern.
She had taken measurements that morning and reported her figures. Not just Jiang Hong, but even the fabric seller was momentarily stunned.
Although the market had opened up and fabrics were readily available, it was still unusual to buy so much dacron at once.
"You’re not going to make curtains with this fabric, are you?" Jiang Hong swallowed her saliva.
Lin Chuxia nodded, "Yes, isn’t it pretty?"
"Pretty, really pretty."
She thought Lin Chuxia would use the fabric to make a shirt.
The seller became even more enthusiastic toward Lin Chuxia.
After having the fabric cut, Lin Chuxia spotted another piece of pink and white checkered cotton fabric, which would make a pretty bedding set. It would feel comfortable to use such warm colors when the weather got colder.
However, considering Qin Yang’s cool personality, she chose a blue-gray cotton fabric for another bedding set.
