8 Travelling Deity (2/2)

”My god, you're sleeping this early? You're not going to follow the new patch? Not even going to play games anymore?”

To Zhang Zhou Wei, it was unbelievable. He pulled Meng Fan's blankets up and then closed his phone and sat down at the computer. He put on his headphones and started to 'Overwatch' some butts.

Yup, it was just as if there was no trace of him having a girlfriend.

....

”Holy crap, why are you up so early?”

Zhang Zhou Wei had slept late the night before. He groggily heard bits of a voice and then opened his eyes. Discovering that Meng Fan was indeed awake, Zhang Zhou Wei rubbed his eyes and stared for a while. A look of disbelief washed over his face.

Sleeping early and waking up early, was this still Meng Fan?

”I'm going for a run.”

Meng Fan picked up the sports equipment he had bought a year ago but only used once, including a tracksuit, running shoes, an armband, etc. After dressing up, he gave Zhang Zhou Wei the same look he gave him when he woke up and gracefully walked out.

Running to lose weight.

This was what Meng Fan had wanted to do since his first year of high school. but it was just a thought until now. It was usually enough to just think about it once in a while, as even giving it a try and failing hadn't been in his previous itinerary.

By now, his weight was increasing at the same rate as the number of times he'd said ”I want to do it”.

How much did Meng Fan weigh exactly?

Haha, it would always be one hundred and ninety for the outside world. Nobody was going to get him to admit he was over 200 pounds.

This time he was reborn, Meng Fan had already planned to lose weight. After experiencing yesterday's confession craze and despite gaining so much progress from those rejections, his fragile heart had been shattered a million times over, mostly due to him being fat.

”For love!”

Meng Fan arrived at the track while muttering to himself for encouragement. He opened the running app he had downloaded 6 months ago and began to run.

Run?

All right, from a speed perspective, Meng Fan's pace was no faster than a regular person walking.

Bobbing up and down with each step, he barely made 100 meters before being riddled in sweat and struggling to breathe.

Straining to reach 200 meters, Meng Fan finally understood the pain of the saying ”legs filled with lead.”

300 meters. The sweat on his forehead was pouring into his eyes, and his pace dropped to a point slower than a regular person walking.

”You can do it!”

From the edge of his vision like a blur of wind, a girl rushed by. She turned her head to look at Meng Fan. She had her thumb up and revealed a smile more beautiful than the sunrise.

That smile kept Meng Fan going the full lap. 400 meters.

”Don't stop, if you can't run anymore, walking is okay too.”

When Meng Fan hit 100 meters again, the girl had lapped him again.

”Stick to it, you got this!”

Meng Fan heaved as he encouraged himself. He was not stopping to walk. He instead dragged his clumsy body along the track.

”Ding.”

The mobile app's notification appeared.

”You ran 0.5 km, lapsed time 7 minutes and 12 seconds.”

Meng Fan did not care how fast he was going. He only cared that he ran 500 meters. Aside from the 1000 meters he ran for the school entrance examination, this was the longest distance Meng Fan had persisted on running in his life.

Keep going, keep going!

Not relying on physical strength, or his swinging arms, or his breathing, or his perseverance, Meng Fan only relied on one thing; his courage.

The courage that allowed him to continue on, even if the next step meant falling face-first into a dog turd.

Two laps equalled 800 meters. Meng Fan's feet were basically dragging on the surface of the track. He was not even running anymore. At this point, he was just slugging along.

”Ding. You can do it, you ran 1 km already, lapsed time 16 minutes and 5 seconds.”

At the same time the app reminder was triggered, the voice in Meng Fan's mind also began to speak. Another accomplishment mission was unlocked.

”Beep! You've unlocked accomplishment [A Travelling Deity].”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
