Chapter 43 - Third birthday (1/2)

Sara simply ignored Muchen and continued speaking with Heya. She remembered the conversation she had with Muchen. Was that why he had been acting this way? Then it was her fault. She was the one who told him about them having a cordial relationship. She just didn't imagine that he would be overdoing it.

”You are doing a good job Heya. Keep your chest up, and don't let your knees go over your toes” Sara instructed as she helped Heya with her exercise.

Muchen just looked at her with a look that says 'you do not expect me to do this right?'

Sara almost laughed when she saw his look.

She tried imagining him squatting like this. It would be so hilarious!

”Mr Li, You could use the treadmill for now or anything else. I'll join Heya”

Muchen nodded slightly and moved to use the treadmill.

Li Muchen tried to entirely focus and not look at them; Sara especially. Thank God his back was facing them so he could only hear Sara's voice when she was instructing Heya since the music was not so loud.

The song changed to an old classical music.

When Muchen heard the song, he frowned. Who exercises with this kind of song? He didn't even know what the song was doing on his music player.

”Oh this song!” Sara exclaimed.

”You are a fan of classical music?” Heya asked as they both took a break and sat on the floor.

”Not really. But my dad is a fan. On my third birthday, when the song was newly released, he played this song the entire day. I got sick of it.”

who plays this kind of songs during a birthday party? Muchen wondered. Besides it was the kind of song that aided relaxation.

”Third year birthday?” Heya asked as she seemed to consider something ”You are 24 years old right? This song came out 22 years ago. So you should be 2years old then right? Why three?

Li Muchen was also done with exercising. He listened to the both of them talk but was not really interested. He had been wondering how the song got there in the first place, but looking at how Heya seemed to know much about the song. It was obvious it was her doing. He was not surprised. Heya always came over to the gym to 'exercise' so she might have gotten a hold of the music player.
