50: Daily eating, drinking, playing, reading and studying

The next day, noon.

Bai Xuan and Jiang Yuxi met up.

"The weather is really nice today."

"It's cloudy, blocking the sun, and the wind is strong, making it feel so comfortable."

"Yeah, it feels really good to go out for some fresh air and feel the breeze today."

Bai Xuan responded with a smile.

"Let's order first."

"Mhm, mhm."

"Good Brother, you seem to have gotten handsomer after a few days."

"Your skin has become more radiant."

"Is the effect of fitness really that good?"

"Or have you started using skincare products?"

After a careful look, Jiang Yuxi voiced her confusion.

"I felt that pure fitness was too monotonous, so I practiced some martial arts."

"I practiced Taiji Fist, Xingyi Fist, Bajiquan, and the like."

"It feels like the effect is better than just simple fitness."

"After all, it's the wisdom of our ancestors; the movements are more complex, more rigorous, and more systematic, allowing for a more comprehensive and deeper workout of the human body, producing many wonderful changes."

Bai Xuan replied unhurriedly.

"Practicing martial arts?"

Listening to Bai Xuan's reply, Jiang Yuxi was slightly stunned but quickly reacted.

This indeed sounded like something Bai Xuan would do.

After all, Bai Xuan had always been quite interested in swords and martial arts.

Now that the college entrance exam was over, he had time.

It was normal for him to work out and practice martial arts.

Moreover, in this internet age, learning martial arts was too simple; a quick search online would surely yield many instructional videos.

"Practicing martial arts is good."

"So, when you practice martial arts, do you also learn swordsmanship?"

"I've already learned it; swordsmanship is also martial arts, isn't it?"

"There's 'Taiji Fist' and also 'Taiji Sword'."

"Many martial arts include swordsmanship."

"Oh, I see."

The two chatted while ordering.

Soon,

the food was ordered, the hotpot base was brought out, and they went to mix their dipping sauces.

They ate and chatted.

"I also started working out recently, doing fitness dances every day."

"I feel like my body has indeed improved a bit, though the superficial changes are very small."

"But I also know that my amount of exercise is too small, so small changes are normal."

"It's okay; being able to stick with it is a good thing."

"I know, so I'll try my best to stick with it."

"Once my physical fitness improves, I plan to learn dancing."

"Sometimes when I scroll through videos, I see beautiful women dancing, and it looks really good; sometimes I really envy these beautiful women who dance well."

"Before, I was always studying and didn't have time to learn."

"Now, with you, Good Brother, as my role model, I've also decided to get fit and learn to dance."

"Then I'll dance for you in person."

"What do you say? I know you also watch videos of beautiful women dancing; in the future, I, your Good Brother, will dance for you in person. Are you looking forward to it?"

"Looking forward to it, of course, I'm looking forward to it."

"In the future, when you dance for me, I'll record it and post it online."

"Maybe you'll even have a chance to become an internet celebrity."

"That's not impossible."

"Anyway, I'm not very resistant to experiencing what it's like to be an internet celebrity."

Amidst their chatter, the two finished their hotpot meal.

Then they went for a walk and watched a movie.

"Erlang Shen."

The prototype of this movie was the myth of Erlang Shen capturing the evil dragon.

The story was simple, the special effects were spectacular, and Erlang Shen was very handsome.

Bai Xuan watched the scene of Erlang Shen fighting the evil dragon, his eyes becoming deep.

"When... will I also be able to become so powerful?"

"Flying through the sky, burrowing into the ground, walking on water..."

"Mythology, it seems so far from me, yet also so close."

"Before the summer vacation ends, I probably won't be able to fly through the sky, burrow into the ground, or walk on water."

"But within a year, perhaps I'll be able to."

"Then again, in the game world, there must be snakes and fish that have evolved into dragon-beast-like monsters."

"At that time, I'll be able to personally experience what it feels like to fight a dragon and slay a dragon-beast."

"Hunting dragon-beasts, just thinking about it is exciting, just thinking about it is thrilling."

He watched while sighing.

Soon, the movie ended.

Bai Xuan and Jiang Yuxi chatted as they went to Shanshui Dao for a massage.

They ordered a three hundred and sixty-eight package.

"Mmm, comfortable."

"Sister, use a little more force, and massage my shoulders and neck more."

The technique was indeed good; Jiang Yuxi even made some strange sounds.

As for Bai Xuan.

With the improvement of his strength, coupled with the blessing of the [Steel Body] skill, Bai Xuan's physique was already incredibly strong, as hard as steel.

The masseuse's strength was too small, and the massage felt minimal.

It was somewhat comfortable, but that was about it.

"Handsome guy, you're really handsome, and your figure is good too."

"Is the person next to you your girlfriend?"

"I don't like chatting; just focus on the massage."

"Alright..."

After the massage, Bai Xuan and Jiang Yuxi asked for the free food at the massage parlor.

Dumplings, steamed buns, mixed noodles, and meat pie soup.

The taste was decent, so the two had their dinner directly at the shop.

"The masseuse sisters at this shop are all professionally trained; their techniques are indeed good, and they made me feel so comfortable."

"After doing fitness dances these past few days, my body had some slight soreness, but after today's massage, I feel much better."

"And these snacks, the taste is also pretty good."

"I feel like we can come here often in the future."

"I think so."

"But we can only come often this summer vacation."

"When we go to Jueshan, we can explore shops there."

Hearing Bai Xuan's words, Jiang Yuxi seemed to have thought of something, and her tone suddenly shifted:

"Oh right, speaking of that, I have to tell you something."

"The day before yesterday, I was scrolling through videos and came across a massage parlor in Jueshan that has various themed packages."

"Their private rooms are divided into several categories; there are ancient elegant-style rooms where masseuses can wear Hanfu to give you a massage."

"There are also campus themes, hospital themes, flight attendant themes... it feels like big cities are really extravagant."

"Wait a minute, Good Brother... are you sure this place is legitimate?"

Bai Xuan asked his question.

Jiang Yuxi smiled and replied:

"Of course it's legitimate; I looked at the comments section."

"Everyone was saying 'vegetarian prices for meat dishes,' telling brothers to avoid the trap."

After hearing Jiang Yuxi's reply, Bai Xuan also smiled.

"Vegetarian prices for meat dishes... it seems like it's indeed a legitimate place."

"Then it's fine; we'll go and experience it then."

"Sounds good."

The two ate and chatted.

After eating their fill, they left.

They took a walk, chatted, and then went their separate ways.

After returning home, Bai Xuan opened "Exercise Physiology," another textbook from Yujing University, and its contents also greatly benefited Bai Xuan.

"Exercise Physiology" is the science that studies the functional changes and adaptation mechanisms of various systems of the human body, such as cardiovascular, respiratory, neuromuscular, endocrine, and energy metabolism, during and under the influence of physical exercise or physical activity.

It explores how the body functions during exercise, such as energy supply and fatigue generation, and how long-term training improves functions, such as cardiorespiratory endurance and muscle strength.

Its core objective is to reveal the immediate responses and long-term adaptations of human physiological functions to exercise, providing theoretical basis and practical guidance for scientific training, improving athletic performance, promoting health, preventing injuries, and rehabilitating diseases.

"Physiological reactions, chemical reactions... the intricacy of the human body is truly amazing and precise."
