Chapter 208: Bickering

After waking up from the dream, Yuan Shu felt even more tired than usual even though she had slept soundly. She was listless, but she still forced herself to get up and go downstairs for a run.
As soon as Yuan Shu went downstairs, she met Jiang Chen, who had also woken up early. The two of them greeted each other with a smile.
Jiang Chen asked, “The bed in the hotel is a little soft. Are you used to sleeping here?”
To be honest, Yuan Shu didn’t sleep well. She didn’t like soft beds, and it hurt her waist, since it felt like she didn’t have any support. However, people nowadays seemed to prefer soft beds.
Even at home, the bed that Yuan Shu slept on at the beginning was ridiculously soft. It was only when she asked Wu Yan to change the palm-wood mattress that she felt more comfortable sleeping.
Yuan Shu shook her head to show that she hadn’t slept well. Then she glanced at Jiang Chen, who was wearing the same sportswear as her, and asked him, “You’re up so early. Are you going to exercise as well?”
After Jiang Chen stretched, he said with a smile, “Yes, I’m used to exercising in the morning. Last night, I asked the hotel’s customer service staff and found out that there was a sports field nearby, so I’m going over there to run a few laps.”
Yuan Shu’s interest was piqued when she heard that. Coincidentally, she was still worried about whether there was any place nearby where she could exercise. She just got up early out of habit.
So she said to Jiang Chen, “Then let’s go together.”
“Sure.”
The two of them didn’t like to talk when they were exercising, so they only maintained the same pace as they ran side by side in the venue. After about an hour, both of them were sweating profusely, so they stopped and returned to the hotel.
When they arrived at the entrance of the hotel, they were almost done sweating. The two of them saw a beautiful girl with red hair running out of the hotel happily. After she ran to Yuan Shu’s side, she stopped and held Yuan Shu’s arm intimately as she called out sweetly, “Sister Yuan Shu-”
When Yuan Shu took a closer look and saw that it was Zhang Zhang, she smiled and rubbed her red hair.
Shi Lu followed closely behind her as he walked out. With a look of disdain, he grabbed Zhang Zhang’s collar and pulled her two steps back to separate her from Yuan Shu.
Zhang Zhang was very dissatisfied and glared at Shi Lu. “Why are you such a spoilsport every day?!”
Shi Lu put her hands in her pockets and said arrogantly, “Don’t be so ridiculous. Why do you cling to my sister-in-law like a clingy little vixen every time you see her?!”
The two of them started bickering.
Not to be outdone, Zhang Zhang put her hands on her hips and glared at him. “You’re an annoying person, but don’t stop me from making friends with others! Aren’t you just jealous that Sister Yuan Shu likes me and not you?” “Please don’t keep calling her Sister Yuan Shu, okay? You’re making my sister-in-law sound old!”
“Tsk!” Zhang Zhang rolled her eyes at him.
Shi Lu was an unforgiving person. “Also, my sister-in-law doesn’t like others to be so close to her. Can you not cling to her every time you see her?!”
Zhang Zhang had always been a person who wouldn’t waste her breath if she could fight, so she punched Shi Lu’s arm. “Don’t be so jealous! Sister Yuan Shu likes me clinging to her. What do you know?!”
Shi Lu turned to look at Yuan Shu in disdain. “Sister-in-law, don’t you think she’s annoying?”
Shi Lu’s tone was very certain, as if he knew that he wasn’t wrong.
Yuan Shu was speechless. This person usually looked quite levelheaded, but why did he become so immature when it came to Zhang Zhang? He bickered with Zhang Zhang the moment they met.
Yuan Shu looked at Shi Lu reproachfully, but she couldn’t be bothered to lecture him in front of so many people. Then, she looked at Zhang Zhang dotingly as she said, “1 like Zhang Zhang very much. I’m also very happy that she likes to cling to me.”
After hearing this, Zhang Zhang immediately smiled brighter as she hugged Yuan Shu’s arm happily and wheedled.
When Shi Lu saw that Zhang Zhang rarely revealed such a little girl’s side, goosebumps rose all over her body. She quickly raised her arms and vented her dissatisfaction. “Sister-in-law, why are you so good to Zhang Zhang? I’ve never seen you dote on us so much.”
Jiang Chen looked at the two people bickering like children, then at the helpless Yuan Shu, and a smile appeared on his face. She was indeed very likeable..
