124: I can't resist it.
However, it was a bit strange that Qiu Yunxi hadn't woken up yet today.
You see, usually, Qiu Yunxi would have been up by this time.
When running in the summer, you either go early or late.
It's too hot during the day.
When Qiu Yunxi took clients for a run, it was basically before dawn in the morning; after finishing, she could still nap for a while and it wouldn't delay her day's work.
But today, Zhang Bo was already out, yet Qiu Yunxi still hadn't appeared.
Could it be... that she slacked off just because she only had one client today?
Zhang Bo waited for a while in the living room, and seeing no movement from Qiu Yunxi's side, he went directly to knock on her door.
He was a person who kept his personal and professional lives separate.
The 100,000 he gave his women each month was just pocket money.
As long as they could satisfy his needs when he had them, Zhang Bo wouldn't make any other demands on them at other times.
However... the 45,000 given to Qiu Yunxi wasn't pocket money for a lover, but her service fee.
Since it was a service fee, she definitely needed to put in the work.
Therefore, Zhang Bo wouldn't be polite with Qiu Yunxi.
He needed to run now, so Qiu Yunxi had to serve him.
You know, a manager like Sun Anguo didn't even have a base salary of 45,000; since Zhang Bo was paying Qiu Yunxi so much, she definitely needed to do her job well and absolutely not be negligent in the slightest.
“Bang bang bang!!!”
The knocking sound echoed.
Qiu Yunxi inside the room suddenly woke up with a start.
“Oh no, oh no!”
Qiu Yunxi sat up, the quilt sliding down to reveal her young, tender body. Of course, she was alone in the room, so this beautiful sight was for no one to admire.
“Yunxi, are you up?”
Zhang Bo's voice came from outside.
Hearing this, Qiu Yunxi immediately said, “Brother Zhang, I'm up. Please wait for me a moment.”
“Okay.” A voice came again from outside, followed by footsteps moving further and further away.
Qiu Yunxi didn't dare to relax. She first picked up her phone, checked the time, and found that it was already past 4:30 AM, almost 5:00 AM.
For summer running times, this was definitely considered late.
She immediately jumped out of bed and started getting dressed.
Since she was going to run, she definitely had to wear sportswear.
Qiu Yunxi had earned a fair amount of money before, and the sportswear she bought wasn't cheap. After putting it on, comfort aside, it at least looked very good.
The inner layer was a small grey camisole, over which she wore a black sports short jacket. On her legs were a pair of high-waisted sports leggings, also black, with a pair of light khaki sports shorts over them. On her feet were a pair of long white socks and white running shoes.
This outfit was very suitable for exercise and fit her body perfectly, fully showcasing Qiu Yunxi's well-proportioned physique and athletic lines, which she had developed from years of running.
Running is an activity that causes profuse sweating, so Qiu Yunxi had never worn makeup. With time being tight today, it was even less possible for her to put on makeup.
People who exercise regularly are healthier, rarely get acne, and frequent sweating also makes the skin appear fairer and more delicate.
Even without any makeup, Qiu Yunxi's face looked very fair and delicate, and combined with her youthful and radiant features, she appeared full of vitality, vibrant, and brimming with life.
After getting dressed, Qiu Yunxi still stood in front of the mirror and carefully examined herself before walking out of the room.
Waking up late today, she felt she let down Zhang Bo, and even more so, her own salary.
Therefore, she couldn't afford any flaws in her appearance.
After all, Qiu Yunxi herself knew that the reason she could earn so much money had little to do with her running technique; it was purely the emotional value brought by her good looks.
So, she was very concerned about her appearance.
After confirming that her appearance was fine, Qiu Yunxi then opened the door and went out.
Upon seeing Zhang Bo, she first said apologetically, “Sorry, Brother Zhang, I had a bit of insomnia yesterday...”
As she said this, Qiu Yunxi suddenly blushed a little.
It's hard for people who exercise to suffer from insomnia, especially runners, whose sleep quality is usually very good.
She usually never had insomnia.
However... Qiu Yunxi did have insomnia yesterday, only falling asleep after 2 AM. It was only a little past 4 AM now, which meant she had only slept for two hours.
There was nothing she could do; the house wasn't very soundproof.
Last night, Qiu Yunxi had just finished her work and returned to her room to rest, while Zhang Bo and Nan Yi next door had been chatting for a long time, and when the atmosphere was harmonious, they began their main business.
Faint sounds kept reaching Qiu Yunxi's ears, making her blush and her mind wander. She simply couldn't fall asleep.
By past 1 AM, the two next door had finished, but various images still involuntarily appeared in Qiu Yunxi's mind.
She finally fell asleep past 2 AM, when she was too tired to stay awake.
Now, mentioning insomnia, Qiu Yunxi recalled last night's experience again, and immediately felt her breathing quicken a few beats, and her heart rate accelerate.
Zhang Bo didn't know Qiu Yunxi's thoughts. At this moment, his gaze was on this young, athletic beauty.
A form-fitting sportswear, a well-proportioned body full of health and vitality, a youthful and radiant face, fair skin, and a black ponytail tied behind her head... it was truly stunning.
Zhang Bo couldn't help but think of Nan Yi last night.
Although Nan Yi didn't have Qiu Yunxi's unique temperament, she was still excellent enough. She was only one year older than Qiu Yunxi, also full of youth and vitality, and he had a very pleasant time last night.
Of course, what was even more pleasant was the 100,000 cash deposited into his account, and a system lottery chance.
The 100,000 cash goes without saying; this money had little to do with Zhang Bo, as he had already given it to Nan Yi in advance.
The main thing was the opportunity for a system lottery.
Zhang Bo hadn't used it yet.
The main reason was that Nan Yi was always by his side, and he wasn't accustomed to using the system lottery chance when someone was nearby.
Although only Zhang Bo himself could see the system's existence, Zhang Bo didn't want to take any risks, so he would only use the system lottery chance when he was alone in one place.
He planned to run with Qiu Yunxi first, and after the run, he would use this lottery chance in his car.
Uh... both of their thoughts had strayed, and they were momentarily silent.
Qiu Yunxi couldn't stand it first. If she thought any further, she would blush and her heart would race again, so she changed the topic, “Brother Zhang, let's stretch first, and then start running.”
Zhang Bo had already changed into the sportswear he bought yesterday morning. The men's style was relatively simple: a sweat-wicking, quick-drying sports short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and a pair of running shoes.
He also wore a sports watch on his wrist.
He looked very professional.
Of course, all of this was bought under Qiu Yunxi's guidance.
Besides the emotional value provided by her looks, she was indeed very professional in terms of running.
Yesterday's stretching almost made Zhang Bo lose his composure.
And now, although he had expended a lot last night, under the effect of Efficient Sleep, Zhang Bo had fully recovered and was very energetic.
Now, hearing Qiu Yunxi mention stretching again, Zhang Bo wondered if he could still resist.
