Chapter 4 - Tired And Happy

"Take a break and keep running."

Li Heng's whole body felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. There were countless little Jiujiu in his heart, always imagining how he would lose weight, so he was full of energy and wished he could run 24 hours a day.

Sitting on the sofa, scrolling through Douyin, suddenly the phone rang.

Clicking to answer, my mother's familiar voice came from the other side.

"Xiao Heng, your aunt introduced you to a girl from 2000. She is very well-behaved and sensible. We have already agreed on when you can go home and meet her."

When Li Heng heard this, his face suddenly dropped.

At his age, it would be strange not to be urged to get married.

In fact, he started being urged to get married when he was twenty-six years old.

At that time, he said he didn't have a wedding room, but the old couple bought him a wedding room without saying anything.

Although the housing loan is quite high, they are still considered homeowners.

Later, he used the excuse of not having a car, and the couple bought him a car worth more than 100,000 yuan.

Now that we have a garage, there is no excuse, right?

Not to mention, there is really an excuse.

He looked down at his swollen belly.

Yes, his excuse is that he is fat.

It's a pity that parents don't accept this trick. In their eyes, their son is excellent.

But in today's era where thinness is considered beautiful, a super fat guy like him is not popular with girls.

Moreover, because he was too fat and very busy at work, he had no time or conditions to find a partner.

But, my parents are not willing.

Seeing the neighbors' grandchildren hugging them, they felt anxious.

Moreover, Chinese parents regard their children as extremely important people. In their minds, if their children are not married, it means that their tasks have not been completed, and they may even be embarrassed in front of other peers.

Therefore, urging marriage has become their mantra.

It's like your child can't find a partner.

Some parents even say some unpleasant words on purpose, trying to stimulate their children to find a partner.

Unfortunately, Li Heng's parents are this kind of people. They would give gentle advice at first, but later they would become violent with their words.

Thinking of his mother's verbal violence next, he smiled bitterly and quickly interrupted what his mother was going to say next.

"Mom, I'm already 28, and this little girl is only 24. This isn't appropriate, so don't worry about it, okay?"

Li Heng smiled bitterly and said.

Chen Xiujuan raised her eyebrows: "We are only four years apart. We are of the same age. Your dad is six years older than me!"

Seeing that she was getting angry, Li Heng quickly interrupted: "Okay, Mom, I will definitely go back when I have time, okay?"

Chen Xiujuan said: "We have agreed that we can't let others go like we did last time."

Hearing this, Li Heng remembered the last blind date. He was called back by his boss to work overtime temporarily and let the other party go.

So, he quickly confirmed and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely be there this time! Mom, I've been very busy recently and won't be able to go back until the 10th of next month."

"It's okay, just come back." A smile appeared on Chen Xiujuan's face, "Then let's go and tell your aunt."

Toot toot!!!

The phone was hung up.

Li Heng looked at the phone, blankly for a moment, sighed, and stood up feeling a little irritated.

"No rest, let's go running!"

Push the door open and leave!

In early June, the temperature has exceeded 30 degrees, especially on the road at noon, it may have been 35 degrees.

However, when he thought about losing weight, he was suddenly full of motivation.

"The run begins!"

Fifteen minutes later.

Li Heng collapsed on the steps beside the road, panting.

He was breathing heavily, completely ignoring the looks of passers-by. Maybe in their eyes, he was stupid for running at noon, but he had no intention of paying attention to other people's opinions now.

He just wants to lose weight as quickly as possible.

[Ding, you ran 2 kilometers, your proficiency +2]

Running Level 1 (4.5/100)

"If I take another rest, I feel like I can still run!"

Li Heng panted.

This break lasted for an hour. During this period, he also went to a nearby convenience store to buy a bottle of water, and drank it to his heart's content.

"Keep running!"

This time, after running another two kilometers, I finally couldn't run anymore.

Running Level 1 (6.5/100)

"Huh, I'm too fat. I only ran six and a half kilometers and I'm so tired that I can't walk."

On the way home, he couldn't help but sigh.

I had a quick snack at noon and ran another 2.5 kilometers in the afternoon, which ended the day's running.

When I got home, I simply edited the photos and videos I took today and sent them to the Douyin platform.

Then, without having dinner, I went to bed early.

I got up at six o'clock the next day and weighed myself first.

208 pounds, lost two pounds!

Not bad!

The goal of losing two pounds a day and 50 pounds a month seems not difficult.

However, weight loss has a plateau, so don't get too happy too early, and most of the weight you lose in the early stage is water.

It decreases more slowly toward the back.

Opened the Douyin platform and watched the posted videos.

It has more than 30 likes and over 100 comments.

When I opened the comment area, it turned out that most of them were sarcastic. However, unlike yesterday, there were many warm comments this time.

"Come on blogger, I'm very optimistic about you!"

"Blogger, don't care about other people's opinions, work hard to be yourself, even if you can't achieve your goals, you are still much better than those lazy people who can only beep."

"Let's encourage everyone, who is as fat as the blogger to weigh over 200 pounds, to lose weight together. Come on, go for it!"

"...."

Looking at these warm comments, Li Heng felt warm in his heart. He replied with a cheering emoji one by one and closed the software.

"Get up early and have a cup of black coffee, do some aerobics on an empty stomach, and let's run!"

Facing the rising sun, move forward with all your strength.

The wind was noisy in my ears, but it was quite pleasant.

Twenty minutes later, it stopped

[Ding, you completed a three-kilometer jog, and your proficiency is +3. ]

Running Level 1 (12/100)

After resting for another hour, his physical strength recovered a lot, and Li Heng started running again.

This time I only ran two kilometers before I couldn't run anymore.

[Ding, you completed a 2-kilometer jog, and your proficiency +2. ]

Running Level 1 (14/100)

Looking at the time, it was already nine o'clock. Li Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead and went home.

After cooking another fat-reducing meal, his cooking proficiency improved by 2 points. After resting for three hours, Li Heng went downstairs for a run again.

Although his whole body ached now, his heart was extremely hot, as if he had endless strength.

He felt that he could do it even if he ran 10 more 2 kilometers.

"rush!"
