The sun has set and the evening breeze is quite comfortable.

Tao Zhi simply packed up and came down from upstairs. Gong Cheng had already prepared everything and was waiting for Tao Zhi to set off.

Tao Zhi walked up to Gong Cheng, but before he could say anything, Gong Cheng suddenly half squatted down. Tao Zhi took a step back in shock.

Gong Cheng reached out to re-tie Tao Zhi's shoelaces. Tao Zhi leaned over and looked at Gong Cheng with blushing cheeks.

Gong Cheng stood up and said, "Sir, the way you tied it originally will get loose when you start running."

Tao Zhi felt inexplicably embarrassed. He was not a little girl and the scene of tying shoelaces was too distracting.

Tao Zhi saw the headband on Gong Cheng's forehead and said, "Do you still have that headband? Make one for me."

Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng took out a headband of the same style but different color from his trouser pocket. The one on Gong Cheng's head was black, and the one he took out was white.

Tao Zhi reached out to take it, but Gong Cheng simply pulled the hairband open with both hands and put it on Tao Zhi's head.

After putting on the headband, Gong Cheng gently took out the hair on Tao Zhi's temples and tidied up his bangs, occasionally touching Tao Zhi's forehead with his fingertips.

Tao Zhi touched his head with his hand and thought it should be okay, so he called Gong Cheng to set off.

"Sir, do you need to take little Baka with you for a stroll?" Gong Cheng asked.

"Its short legs will delay our running progress." Tao Zhi said with his chin raised.

Tao Zhi walked out, and Gong Cheng followed him, passing by the housekeeper at the door.

"Sir, do you need me to drive behind you and be ready at any time?" asked the butler.

Tao Zhi put his hands on his hips in dissatisfaction.

"Butler, you are disrespecting my dignity." Tao Zhi said.

The housekeeper was helpless and could only smile and say "Come on, sir", and watched Tao Zhi and Gong Cheng leave.

Tao Zhi walked out of the door and onto the main road, then began to jog, and Gong Cheng followed slowly behind Tao Zhi.

At first, Tao Zhi was happy that the evening breeze was feeling very comfortable, but gradually he found that the air was a little thin.

Tao Zhi's steps gradually became heavier, and his calves felt as if they were tied with stones, becoming increasingly difficult to lift.

"I can't do it anymore, take a break."

Tao Zhi wanted to stop, but Gong Cheng grabbed his wrist from behind and continued to pull him forward.

"Sir, find the right breathing pattern, I will take you to run." Gong Cheng said.

After being pulled to run a few steps, it did seem a little easier, but the relief only lasted for a few seconds, and the feeling of stepping into the gates of hell came back.

"No, no, I won't run anymore." Tao Zhi struggled and shouted.

"Sir, we have just started, keep working on it." Gong Cheng continued to walk, but his pace was getting slower and slower, following Tao Zhi's pace.

Tao Zhi's breathing through his mouth and nose became more and more rapid, and later Tao Zhi opened his mouth and could only breathe out but not in.

His heart was beating as fast as a disco accompaniment. Tao Zhi felt a sharp pain in his lungs, his eyeballs bulged, and his throat was so dry that it hurt even to swallow his saliva.

"I want a housekeeper... I want a housekeeper to pick me up..." Tao Zhi was like a wilted flower, hunching over and moving forward.

Life is just like this, so let it be, Tao Zhi thought numbly.

Then his eyes went dark and he fell straight backwards.

An 80-year-old man passing by with his biceps showing took a look and sighed, "It's good to be young, you can fall asleep as soon as you lie down," then ran away.

Gong Cheng, who was holding Tao Zhi's wrist, stepped forward and caught Tao Zhi, who was standing upright.

Tao Zhi collapsed downwards. In order to stabilize his body, Gong Cheng turned Tao Zhi over to face him, and lifted up Tao Zhi's hands to put around his neck.

Gong Cheng freed one hand and took out a candy from his pocket. Then he put his hands around Tao Zhi's waist, hugged the limp Tao Zhi into his arms, and tore the candy open with his hands behind Tao Zhi's back.

One hand held Tao Zhi's waist, and the other hand handed the candy to Tao Zhi's mouth.

Tao Zhi's eyes were lifeless, his head numbly resting on Gong Cheng's chest, he was sweating and breathing heavily. When the candy was handed to him, Tao Zhi numbly opened his mouth and let Gong Cheng stuff the candy into his mouth.

Gong Cheng's fingertips touched the wetness of Tao Zhi's mouth for a moment, and he withdrew his hand in a daze.

"Am I going to die, Xiaocheng?" Tao Zhi said vaguely with candy in his mouth.

"Sir, you just haven't exercised for a long time and have low blood sugar." Gong Cheng's eyes flashed with a smile.

Tao Zhi let all his strength lean on Gong Cheng, with his hands on Gong Cheng's neck to steady his body.

"Where did you get the candy?" Tao Zhi asked.

"My husband said we should go running together the next day, so I prepared it the night before," Gong Cheng replied.

It turns out that not only the housekeeper despises him, but the protagonist also despises him. Tao Zhi is chilled.

But you won. The joys and sorrows of life are not the same. You just think I am useless.

At this time, the second 80-year-old man with biceps passed by Tao Zhi and Gong Cheng, and saw a boy snuggling in the arms of another boy, and couldn't help but sigh, "This is the breath of youth."

Tao Zhi's breathing gradually slowed down, but his chest was still rising and falling violently, and his eyes were empty.

"Sir, are you feeling better?" Gong Cheng asked gently with his head down.

"Just barely alive." Tao Zhi replied.

"There is a convenience store in front. I'll go over and buy some water for you, sir. Please wait for me here," said Gong Cheng.

Tao Zhi came out of Gong Cheng's arms, his hair was wet with sweat and his breathing was still disordered.

Tao Zhi looked up and found that Gong Cheng only had a thin layer of sweat on his temples, and his breathing was not as heavy as his own.

But Gong Cheng's cheeks seemed to be slightly red. When he leaned against him just now, his heartbeat was obviously as fast as a reverb version of his own heartbeat disco accompaniment, and the heat from his chest was even burning his face.

This brought Tao Zhi back some comfort.

It seems that the protagonist only doesn't look that tired on the surface, but in fact he is still as tired as himself, with his heart beating so fast.

Tao Zhi stretched out his hand and pushed Gong Cheng away with pretended disgust.

"I'm all sweaty. After leaning on you, I'm all sticky." Tao Zhi frowned.

The back of Tao Zhi's new clothes was already wet with sweat, and beads of sweat were dripping down his neck. There seemed to be a drop of sweat between his eyebrows that was about to fall into Tao Zhi's eyes.

Gong Cheng reached out and wiped the sweat off Tao Zhi, which made Tao Zhi stunned.

"Go ahead, go ahead. I want an iced Coke. I'll wait here for you to come back." Tao Zhi crossed his hands in front of his chest, pretending to be natural.

"Sir, don't sit down. It's not good to sit down after running. I'll be back soon." After saying this, Gong Cheng started running forward.

Seeing Gong Cheng gradually disappearing from his sight, Tao Zhi found a shady place and sat down on the ground.

About two minutes later, a huge golden retriever came towards Tao Zhi, holding its leash in its mouth and shaking its butt.

As soon as Tao Zhi saw the huge furry creature appear, the pain in his waist and legs stopped being sore. He grinned and waved at the golden retriever, making a "chuckle" sound from his mouth.

The golden retriever came over, wagging its big tail, and snuggled into Tao Zhi's arms. Tao Zhi was like Zhu Bajie who was favored by Chang'e. He had a smile on his face and couldn't wait to use his two dirty hands to touch the big golden retriever.

"Baby, you're so big and cute."

"Baby, you are so good. Why are you so good?"

"Whose family are you from, baby? Where is your master?"

"Baby, you look familiar to me."

Tao Zhi narrowed his eyes and smiled. He rubbed his head against the golden retriever's furry head and pulled the golden retriever's big scarf again and again.

"Do I look familiar to you?"

A cold male voice came from above his head, and Tao Zhi found that a pair of shoes appeared in front of him without him knowing when. He looked up along the legs of the owner of the shoes and saw Xu Yanze's face.
