An hour and fifteen minutes later...
Jiang Tao was drenched in sweat as he ran on the treadmill.
But the long-awaited notification still hadn’t appeared.
"Where’s my reward? Did Brother Tongzi take a cut?"
Usually, running on the [Body Building Treadmill] for an hour grants 1 point of constitution.
Today it’s been over fifteen minutes past, and the reward prompt still hasn’t shown up.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh, whoosh whoosh whoosh—
After gritting his teeth and persisting for another fifteen minutes, the reward still hadn’t co.
"Phew..."
Running for an hour and a half straight, even with improved constitution, was reaching a limit for Jiang Tao.
He adjusted his breathing, slowed down, and kept running for over half an hour.
When his parents finished dancing and ca ho, Jiang Tao was still pushing himself on the treadmill.
After a simple greeting, they went to freshen up first.
A while later, Xu Li, Jiang Xue, and Third Brother ca back as well.
At this mont, Jiang Tao had been running for over two hours without any sign of a reward.
Jiang Bing ca ho to find her second brother sweating it out shirtless on the treadmill.
Curious, she went over to take a peek at the data displayed.
Seeing the ti on the display read 2 hours and 16 minutes, Jiang Bing exclaid,
"Second bro, are you crazy? You’ve run for over two hours tonight?"
"Are you stuck up there? Need to save you?"
She couldn’t help but laugh as she finished her sentence.
There was a news story online recently about a kid who got stuck on a treadmill and ran for over an hour without daring to stop.
"Go play sowhere else, I’m challenging my limits."
Jiang Tao didn’t want to waste words explaining to Third Brother, just waved his hand to shoo her away like chasing ducks.
"Tsk tsk, I’ve heard running makes your brain release sothing called endorphins, which can be addictive."
"I think you’re really getting addicted, Second Bro."
"Exercise makes happy, you should try it soti, it’s good for you too."
"Do I need exercise with this devilishly perfect body of mine?"
"I’ve never t soone so shaless, and you call that body of yours devilish..."
"What’s wrong with my body? My weight is perfectly standard!"
The siblings were exchanging banter again.
Having Jiang Bing around to distract Jiang Tao made running a bit easier.
When the treadmill ti stopped at 2 hours and 49 minutes, the long-awaited reward finally appeared.
[Congratulations, you have gained 1 constitution point from the running workout, your constitution is now 79 points (strong)]
Seeing the prompt, Jiang Tao imdiately felt deflated.
He reached out and pressed the "stop" button on the treadmill, ending today’s workout.
After finishing their bickering, Jiang Bing grabbed her toiletries and rushed to the bathroom.
Tonight, she was crashing Jiang Xue’s room again.
For so reason, she always felt she slept better at her second brother’s place than at the apartnt she shared with Jiang Yi.
So, she was crashing Jiang Xue’s bed again.
Jiang Tao and Xu Li didn’t mind at all; she was their little sister, after all, so they spoiled her.
"Honey, Nannan is asking when we’re going over to her place."
Having just put Jiang Xue to sleep, Xu Li walked over to Jiang Tao with small steps, smilingly inquiring.
"After I shower."
Jiang Tao thought it was only right since he was currently using Du Enan’s rcedes G-Class to help her sleep well.
After Third Brother finished her shower, Jiang Tao went in himself.
It took him less than ten minutes to wash up and change into a new set of clothes prepared by Xu Li.
Xu Li wrapped her arms around Jiang Tao’s, the two appeared sweetly in love.
Before leaving, Jiang Tao activated [Deep Sleep Mode] for his parents, Jiang Bing, and Jiang Xue.
Helping Du Enan couldn’t make him forget his own family.
Through practical experience over ti, Jiang Tao found that this [Deep Sleep Mode] had many benefits for the body.
yuan to activate once, it was quite affordable.
Downstairs, Jiang Tao drove the rcedes G-Class straight to the villa area where Du Enan’s house was.
It took about an hour to park outside her villa.
The nanny, who had been waiting for a while, heard the sound outside and ca out to bring them into the villa.
"You’re finally here, I’ve been waiting forever."
Already done with her shower and in her pajamas, Du Enan got up with a smile to greet them.
Xu Li laughed and said, "Why don’t we just move in with you then, and keep you company every day."
Du Enan laughed, "Sure, I have plenty of empty rooms here, enough even if Uncle Jiang and his family co over."
"I was just saying, you really take it seriously, you’re not afraid of trouble?"
"Of course, I’m afraid of trouble, but you’re no trouble; you’re my best friends."
"Hehe, oh right, Nannan, my parents and sister are coming to Beijing the day after tomorrow; join us for a al, I’ll introduce you."
"Your parents are coming to Beijing? For travel or to stay?"
"Travel, fun, my dad took five days off to make a small holiday..."
On the side, watching the two gradually go off on a tangent, Jiang Tao was sowhat speechless.
The two seed to have endless things to say!
They chatted until past 11 PM before wrapping up their conversation for the night.
Afterwards, Du Enan led them to see the room she had prepared for them.
"Everything in the room except for the bed was newly bought today and sent for dry cleaning."
"The set of costics on the dresser is one I’m currently using; it’s working well, you should try it, Lili."
