Ma Lu got home at 9 PM and then slept straight through until 9 AM the next morning. When he got up, his head still felt a bit groggy.
He remembered when he first started university, he and his dorm mates would stay up all night watching movies at the cinema, and the next day they'd still manage to run back to school to check in. Just an afternoon nap was enough, and by evening, they would be full of vigor again.
He had thought that was just the beginning, but it turned out to be the peak. After that, his physical condition declined year by year, and by the time he graduated, even a small stretch of staying up could take a whole day to recover from.
He really needed to exercise more.
The rowing machine had arrived, and Ma Lu had followed the video tutorials for two days, and then... the novelty started to wear off quickly, and the pain set in.
Although his rational mind told him he should start exercising now, Ma Lu decided to water the plants first.
