Chapter 279 - The League of Morning Runners (2/2)

If anything, Wu Tong’s messages made Meng Fan more motivated.

They had just held hands. He needed to come back alive!

The next morning, he went jogging as usual, and Wu Tong showed up too. Then, Meng Fan noticed something weird.

There were a lot of runners at the sports field.

There were usually a few joggers, but at most ten or so people. Today, however, there were at least fifty people running.

He took a closer look. Most of the runners were overweight.

Meng Fan was a little surprised. “What’s going on?”

Wu Tong rolled her eyes. “It’s you.”

Meng Fan was confused. “Me what?”

Wu Tong was curious. “Didn’t you read that post?”

“Post?”

Meng Fan didn’t know about the post by Yu Xiaoyu, which was posted to a Hangzhou college’s online forum. He was busy reading about wrestling and snatching all night.

The post recounted all the necessary conditions for Meng Fan to capture Wu Tong’s heart. While the conclusion was that everyone should give up, that it’s not something you could copy, many readers still became motivated and decided to start running.

Running and exercising were always helpful; one might not be able to win their dream girl, but becoming fitter would indeed give one more choice in life.

Even if one didn’t gain anything, one’s health was one’s own, and would be appreciated more.

“Iron Hero! Wu Tong!”

As the two of them finished jogging and were stretching, a chubby guy and a slightly overweight girl walked over. The girl apparently knew Wu Tong. She just finished jogging; panting, she asked, “We started a ‘League of Morning Joggers,’ and wanted to invite you to join. Would that be okay? You don’t have to do anything, you can be our spiritual idols.”

Meng Fan wasn’t sure what had happened, but Wu Tong already nodded. “Great. Xi Lin, you can add me to the group.” Then, she added. “Later, I’ll send some notes about jogging and poses to the group. Make sure you protect yourself during jogging.”

Wu Tong was a warm person. She didn’t care if she was some classical art princess.

Speaking of protection during jogging, Wu Tong glanced at Meng Fan. To be honest, she still didn’t know how Meng Fan didn’t hurt his knees while jogging, especially as he was very heavy when he started running.

Meng Fan quickly nodded when he saw Wu Tong asking for his advice.

The young guy and girl quickly left after some congratulatory words when Meng Fan and Wu Tong agreed to join their group. They didn’t want to bother this new couple.

Wu Tong started blushing after they left. When she saw Meng Fan’s heated gaze, she shoved him, and Meng Fan leaned back while chuckling.

“Tong… Tong Tong.”

Meng Fan carefully called her. Seeing no objection to the nickname, he smiled and said, “Um, I want to go to the dojo again. I have some problems to consult with Lao Hei. Don’t worry, I won’t fight with Seventh Bro again.”

“Seventh Bro?!”

Wu Tong glared at Meng Fan, finishing her stretches. “I’m with my team today. You can go wherever you want!”

Since she knew her Seventh Bro couldn’t hurt Meng Fan, she wouldn’t stop their meeting. If anything, it’d be good if they fought, since neither man could be bullied. She knew both men’s personalities very well. They might even become friends after these fights instead of enemies.
