Li Shi ate leisurely, absorbing both the material energy from his meal and the obscure knowledge he garnered along the way.
"Physical fitness and hands-on practice are quite easy for me, but the theory is hard. You don't know how much I hated reading since I was a kid, and the theory requires knowledge from a lot of books. I bought a bunch of reference books like 'Sports Anatomy,' 'Sports Nutrition,' 'Muscle Fitness Training Guide,' and so on. It was such a headache to memorize that stuff back then... Of course, it wasn't just about getting certified."
As she spoke, she reflected with a hint of regret, "If I had been this diligent during my college entrance exams, I wouldn't have ended up in just a community college."
Li Shi nodded, "You study this mainly because you're interested, the motivation is different."
The two chatted as they ate, and the meal lasted over an hour.
