as pure as a radish

I opened my eyes suddenly, and my mobile phone rang in my ears.

The mobile phone shows that the current time is 03:30 in the afternoon, and the call is from Liu Ziyun. She invited me to have afternoon tea, saying that the place is near the industrial park, and it will not delay me for too long.Dazed, I told her that I had taken leave of absence from work.As soon as I finished speaking, she asked me if I was not feeling well because of what happened last night.I'm just saying it's not an uncomfortable feeling.She immediately asked for my specific address and promised to come and see me after work.

I hung up the phone and tried to sleep again, but neither the couch nor the bed could put me back to sleep.I simply stopped trying, turned on the computer with sleepiness and started working.I am by no means a workaholic, but I know that no one will take over the project in my hand at any time. If I don’t do it today, I will have to do it tomorrow, and tomorrow’s me will be ashamed of the time wasted today. Getting more and more anxious.

I worked hard until someone knocked on the door, and I returned to the real world from the dazzling words and data.Knowing that there must be Liu Ziyun outside the door, I walked to open the door while arranging my clothes and hairstyle.I took a short breath before opening the door.As for whether I should smile or not, I didn't think about it, so I can only keep my facial features from being too rigid.

Turning the doorknob, the scene outside the door appeared little by little, followed by Liu Ziyun.She is exactly the same as before, friendly, sunny, and optimistic.She shouldn't have become weird because of what happened last night like me.I let her in and followed her, a little bewildered.

Seeing my computer turned on, she asked naturally, "Are you working?"

"Yeah." I also tried to answer naturally, "Recently, there are more tasks at hand, so hurry up if you have time, otherwise you will be overwhelmed later." After speaking, I realized that in a sense I was also The staff of the radio station deliberately added, "But I still have time to write."

"Is there still time to exercise?" She turned around.

I immediately looked away to avoid eye-to-eye contact, "Yes~ I too~ I'm not that busy~"

"Can I go now?" She approached me.

"Uh..." I thought about it briefly and felt that the invitation was a bit rushed, but it seemed that I couldn't go, after all, there was nothing else to prepare except to find out the sportswear, "Okay~ I'll get something ~Right now~" I headed towards the closet dully, and within 5 minutes I was ready.

We didn't have much communication along the way. After driving into the area with tall buildings, we turned at a fork and went directly into the underground parking lot of a building.I seemed to have a special reaction to the parking lot, and I didn't relax until we got out of the car respectfully and stepped into the elevator.

As soon as you get out of the elevator, you will find a fitness studio. The space is not big, and the whole body is surrounded by glass that cannot see the internal situation.There is a promotional poster standing at the door. The main body of the poster is a muscular dark man wearing boxing gloves. There are a few lines of small words beside it. I hurried past and probably saw some champions or the like.

Entering the door, Liu Ziyun whispered in my ear, asking me to go to the dressing room to change first, and she would come later.I wished we could stagger, so I walked quickly into the women's changing room, changed my clothes in two or three, and sat dryly on the rest chair.When she came in and began to take off her clothes, I felt inexplicably guilty watching her actions. Before she took off her clothes, I escaped immediately on the pretext of wanting to buy a bottle of water.

We started our fitness today with a few sandbags. Before that, I only ran in the gym. I don’t know all kinds of fitness items and fitness equipment except the treadmill.A coach who looked very young walked up to me and talked to me, introduced me to some entry-level knowledge and reminded me that some incorrect postures and ways of exerting force might hurt me, so I must avoid it.

I nodded frequently and listened, watching Liu Ziyun from the corner of my eye.She has already started formal training with another trainer, who gives her only occasional words of instruction, as she moves with proficiency.By the time my coach started teaching me where to stand, she was already fighting the coach.

I saw them staring at each other like hawks watching their prey, with their hands in front of them, ready to attack and defend.

"Has she practiced long?" I chatted with my trainer during my slow, boring workout.

"I don't know. I just joined the job this month. It looks like it will take a few years." The coach replied.

"Oh." I coped.Actions changed unconsciously.

The coach patted me, with a serious expression on his young face, "Hey! Keep it up! If you want to catch up with your friend, you have to practice hard!"

I lowered the volume and said in a low voice, "I didn't want to catch up. I'm already hungry. I didn't have an appetite at first, but now I just want to eat."

The coach smiled, "When you don't want to practice, you can count the money you have paid in. If you want your hard-earned money to be wasted, you can just be lazy~ It will save me from urging you every day~ My mouth still hurts~"

I pouted, "Is this expensive for you?"

The coach looked at me and then at Liu Ziyun, "Oh~ Got it~"

"What!" Although I'm not sure what he understood, subconsciously I wanted to clarify, "I was forced to come here, okay?"

The coach nodded reluctantly, then motioned me to look behind with his chin.I turned my head, Liu Ziyun and the others stopped at some point, met Liu Ziyun's eyes, she waved to me and let me go.

I walked over to them without knowing why, and Liu Ziyun asked me with a smile, "How are you doing?"

"It's okay." I said perfunctorily.

Liu Ziyun: "Fight me once, come~"

I was in a daze, Liu Ziyun had already stepped back and stood opposite me.

"I don't know..." I explained stupidly, and then turned to my coach for help, "We haven't learned how to fight yet! Right!"

The coach shrugged.

Liu Ziyun: "By instinct, there are no rules."

"Huh?" I turned my head to look at Liu Ziyun again.

"Instinct." Liu Ziyun looked at me and repeated.

While I was staring at her sweat-soaked hair in a daze, she had already made a move.I couldn't react at all. The moment she was about to touch me, she suddenly put down her hand and stepped back, "Come again."

I finally felt that she wasn't joking. I held my breath and imitated their gesture of placing their hands in front of my body.When she struck again, I clenched my fists, everything was ready, but I just dodged as she approached me.She sped up her attacks and the level of surprise, but I just dodged every time.Later, I really couldn't avoid it, so I didn't force it, and the pain just hurt.

After doing this a few times, she backed away, looked me in the eyes and asked, "Why didn't you attack?"

Because I don't want to hit you.I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say it, I felt that this sentence was too sensational.

"Okay, that's all for today's training~ You two have worked hard~ Ji Yufei come here to do Lajin!" My coach called me back.

"Oh, here we come." I lowered my head and walked back to the coach.When I bent down to do the stretching, I watched Liu Ziyun quietly, she was doing the stretching movements with concentration, her expression was not angry at all.

"Practice well, your friend has high expectations for you." The coach whispered in my ear.

I have no idea why Liu Ziyun came here today.To urge me to exercise?What an abrupt idea, we haven't talked about fitness-related topics before... But I understand the kindness of the coach for saving me from the fire and water just now. After finishing the stretch, I thanked my coach seriously.
