Chapter 41 Romance of Ordinary People

At 1:30 p.m., Huang Tian reappeared in the Rosewood Hotel's gym.

After several days of consistent training, my body has gradually adapted to this intensity.

Although his muscles still ached, he was somewhat addicted to the feeling of refreshment after exercise.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Huang."

Qiao Xinran was wearing a light gray office lady uniform today. Her makeup was exquisite, and her hair was tied in a high ponytail, making her look particularly neat. She immediately greeted Huang Tian with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Advisor Joe."

Huang Tian smiled and nodded, accepting the towel and bottled water she offered, without engaging in much small talk.

True hunters wait for their prey to fall into their trap.

In the locker room, Huang Tian changed into his sportswear and looked at himself in the mirror.

My chest muscles seem fuller than they were a few days ago, and my abdominal muscles are starting to show definition.

This kind of visible change is the most direct driving force.

Tian Cong, who had been waiting at the gym, provided Huang Tian with very professional guidance on warming up, essentially offering VIP service.

First, I warmed up on the treadmill for ten minutes. After my body started to sweat slightly, I moved to the free weights area.

Perform 15kg dumbbell curls, 12 reps per set, for four sets.

Start with an empty bar for the flat bench press and gradually increase the weight to 30 kg, for four sets.

Squats are the ultimate test of willpower. Huang Tian gritted his teeth and persevered through four sets, but his legs were already feeling a bit weak.

With Satoshi Yuda by his side, Huang Tian wasn't worried about getting hurt.

Finally, there was core training, including a plank hold for one and a half minutes.

"call…"

When the stopwatch reached 90 seconds, Huang Tian collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily, his sweat soaking into the carpet and creating a human-shaped pattern.

Only by doing this plank exercise can one truly understand the preciousness of time.

He used to be unable to last even a minute.

After resting for ten minutes, Huang Tian greeted Tian Cong and went into the shower room to take a shower.

High-end gyms, especially in five-star hotels like the Rosewood, feature luxuriously designed shower rooms and top-tier toiletries.

The warm water washed away the fatigue in my muscles, bringing a strange sense of relaxation.

After changing into clean casual clothes, Huang Tian glanced at the time; it wasn't even three o'clock yet.

I went downstairs to the spa and had a 90-minute hot stone massage.

To be fair, the environment and the skill level of the therapists at Rose Spa are impeccable.

The price of 2380 plus a 10% service fee is indeed a bit pricey.

……

At 5:30, Huang Tian's Mercedes-Benz C43 stopped right downstairs at Chen Fanzhi's company.

He didn't send a WeChat message beforehand, but instead sat quietly in the car and waited.

At this time, people began to emerge from the office building.

Most of them were young men and women dressed in business attire, their faces showing the fatigue of a day's work.

Looking at these people, Huang Tian suddenly remembered himself a few months ago.

He didn't always write novels; he also worked a regular job for a while.

He was like that back then, commuting to and from get off work by subway every day, worrying about being late and getting penalized, and calculating how much he could save that month.

And now, he sits here, driving an imported car worth hundreds of thousands, with over a million in savings, surrounded by different beautiful women.

Life's encounters are truly unpredictable.

"Knock knock knock!"

The crisp sound of tapping on the car window interrupted Huang Tian's thoughts.

Chen Fanzhi bent down to look into the car, seemingly unsure if he was the owner.

A light blue dress swayed gently in the wind.

Her hair was tied up in a bun, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck, making her look exceptionally refreshing.

"Get in the car quickly, it's unbearably hot outside."

"Uh-huh."

Chen Fanzhi walked around to the passenger side, opened the car door and sat down, bringing with her a faint scent of jasmine.

"Have you been waiting long?"

"I just arrived recently too."

Huang Tian smiled as he watched her fasten her seatbelt. "How was work today?"

"It's alright, there was just a mistake in one of the reports, and my supervisor said a few words to me."

Chen Fanzhi stuck out her tongue, looking a little embarrassed.

"But it's okay, I've already fixed it. By the way, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

What would you like to eat?

"Hmm... I kind of want to eat hot pot."

Chen Fanzhi's eyes lit up: "I know a Haidilao that tastes amazing, but you have to wait in line."

"Then let's go to Haidilao."

Huang Tian started the car: "So what if we have to wait in line? We have nothing to do tonight anyway."

"Really? That's great!"

Chen Fanzhi clapped her hands happily: "That store is in Zhengjia Plaza, I'll give you directions."

Traffic in Guangzhou was as congested as ever in the evening.

Although the car was moving slowly through traffic, it wasn't boring with Chen Fanzhi chattering about interesting things at the company.

Which colleague bought a new bag? Which boss threw a tantrum again? The takeout I ordered for lunch was absolutely awful…

Huang Tian listened quietly, occasionally responding with a few words.

This ordinary conversation brought Huang Tian a rare moment of relaxation.

Unlike when I was with Lin Weiwei, I had to carefully consider every word I said.

Unlike when I was with Hu Yixin, I didn't have to deal with all her little schemes.

Being with Chen Fanzhi is like going back to dating in college – simple and pure.

At 6:10, they finally arrived at Zhengjia Plaza.

After parking the car, the two took the elevator to the fifth floor of Haidilao.

Just as Chen Fanzhi had said, a long queue had already formed at the entrance.

The number displayed showed that there were 27 tables ahead of us.

"I'm sorry, you two will have to wait about an hour and a half."

The waiter looked apologetic.

"It's okay, we'll wait over there."

Huang Tian wasn't very hungry, so he sat down in the waiting area with Chen Fanzhi.

Haidilao's waiting area is always a highlight, offering free fruit, snacks, tea, and services such as manicures and shoe shining.

Chen Fanzhi went to get a hand treatment with great enthusiasm; this girl is the type who can't miss out on a good deal.

Huang Tian ordered a plate of watermelon and started eating while scrolling through his phone.

Hu Yixin sent him a WeChat message saying she was going to a quiet bar with her best friend that night and asked if he wanted to come along.

Huang Tian replied that he had something to do and told her to have fun.

Hu Yixin posted a group photo directly, indicating it was a gathering of nuns.

"Alright then~ I will uphold the virtues of womanhood!"

Huang Tian replied with a head-patting emoji and then exited the chat.

Lin Weiwei also sent a message with a screenshot of a yoga pants she bought, asking Huang Tianxi if he didn't like the style.

The model looks great in it, but the visual effect will only be better when Lin Weiwei wears it.

Huang Tian clicked on the picture, looked at it, and replied, "Not bad, I'll buy a few more."

He casually transferred 5200 yuan, which earned him a string of mushy thanks from Lin Weiwei.

Putting down his phone, Huang Tian looked at Chen Fanzhi, who was getting a hand treatment.

Chen Fanzhi sat on a high stool, watching intently as the nail technician applied hand cream to her. Her profile looked exceptionally soft under the light.

"Okay!"

Chen Fanzhi walked over and held out her hand for Huang Tian to see. "Look, isn't it moisturized?"

Her hands were indeed very beautiful, with long, slender fingers and fair skin.

"Yes, it looks great."

Huang Tian took her hand and gently squeezed it.

Chen Fanzhi blushed, but did not pull her hand away.

The two held hands and sat in the waiting area for almost an hour.

They talked a lot during the conversation, from Chen Fanzhi's childhood anecdotes to Huang Tian's experiences during his university years.

Huang Tian felt a pang of emotion, recalling a popular saying online.

We spend our whole lives searching for someone to talk to, someone who can listen to us, understand us, and even listen to our nonsense.

Even though he himself felt that it was meaningless to say it, Chen Fanzhi listened with great interest, occasionally letting out exclamations or laughter.

Fortunately, Huang Tian has found the right person.

The only problem is that there will likely be more and more right people.
