There were already many people gathered at the best spot to watch the sunrise. The area near the cliff was extremely crowded so they found another place, which was less windy, in the end.

After waiting for a moment, the sun was finally rising in the east. At first, the sun was still hidden in the thick clouds, only radiating a soft red light.

Everyone raised their cameras at the same time, waiting for the perfect moment to capture the scenery.

Lin Xiaowan did not know how to take photos. She stood next to the two men, who were of no help, before she shuffled over to Gu Yuwu’s side.

The sun rose very quickly. The red light grew brighter and brighter as a small ball of flame gradually came out from behind the clouds. It was dazzling and eye-catching.

Huddled in Huo Zheng’s embrace, Lin Xiaowan watched the sunrise, completely entranced by the sight. This was the first time she had seen the sun from such a high altitude. Although Mount An was not very tall, she still had the illusory feeling of standing above the clouds at this moment. Looking at the sunrise from here felt as though she was watching the sun being born from the ground.

“Have you seen the sunrise from the top of a mountain before?” Lin Xiaowan asked Huo Zheng.

“Yes.”

When Huo Zheng was in school, his class would often have activities for the students. Although he was not very interested in those activities, Song Zhiyi liked them. As such, he would often accompany her.

“Oh,” Lin Xiaowan replied. She knew what was going on and did not ask any more questions.

In just a moment, the sun hung high in the sky, returning to the appearance that everyone was familiar with.

Huo Zheng raised his hand and gently stroked Lin Xiaowan’s cheek with his index finger as he said in a low voice, “1 like you.”

Lin Xiaowan looked up at him and smiled. “I like you too.”

Out of the three assignments that Hong Minhua gave Lin Xiaowan, she only completed two. The last one was drawn based on her memory after she returned from watching the sunrise. It was also the piece that was praised by Hong Minhua.

“Don’t you think this one is different from all your other works?” Hong Minhua asked.

“No. How is it different?” Lin Xiaowan asked, puzzled.

“You have to go out and sightsee more,” Hong Minhua said.

Lin Xiaowan understood Hong Minhua’s meaning.

After returning from Mount An, Lin Xiaowan also came up with a training plan. She wrote her plan down on a whiteboard and even decorated it with cute doodles.

Huo Zheng took a look and said skeptically, “Wake up at 6 AM? Running from 6.15 AM to 7 AM?”

Lin Xiaowan usually woke up at 7.30 AM. Even then, when Huo Zheng urged her to wash up, she could hardly open her eyes and would grumble unhappily, still groggy. If Huo Zheng had a meeting and left early, she would laze in bed until about 8.30 AM before the nanny woke her up.

No matter how Huo Zheng thought about it, he did not think the plan was going to be a success.

Lin Xiaowan pointed at the schedule and said weakly, “There are postscripts.”

Huo Zheng looked at the postscripts, and he found them amusing. “So you’re going to walk instead of run?”

“Yes,” Lin Xiaowan explained, “I haven’t run in a long time. When I was in school, 1 even failed the 800-meter run. Since I’m just starting, 1 can’t make things too difficult for myself.”

Apart from running, Lin Xiaowan also planned to do a few fitness exercises and stretching exercises before bed. Her schedule was rather packed.

“You don’t have to run to exercise. You can do other things as well,” Huo Zheng said.

Lin Xiaowan did not exercise at all prior to this. She would not be able to endure it if she started with such a high-intensity plan.

“I went to the gym to have a look. I saw the spin bike. It looks interesting,” Lin Xiaowan said.

Huo Zheng was usually the only one who used the gym. The housekeeper would go in once in a while to clean it. As for Lin Xiaowan, she had always stayed as far away as she could from the gym. She only went there today to have a look before making her training plan.

There was some basic equipment inside such as a treadmill, a spin bike, and dumbbells. These were also the only things she recognized. She was unfamiliar with the other things there.

“So I’ll wake you up tomorrow morning?” Huo Zheng asked.

Huo Zheng did not usually wake up at 6 AM; he usually woke up at about 6.30 AM. He would exercise for a while, shower, and change his clothes before he woke Lin Xiaowan up for breakfast.

Lin Xiaowan agreed without thinking too much about it.

Despite Lin Xiaowan’s enthusiasm, she could not wake up the next morning at 6 AM.

The curtains were drawn in the bedroom. It was not bright yet so the lamp in the room was lit.

Huo Zheng called out to her a few times, but she only burrowed herself deeper into the blanket. In the end, she simply covered her head with the blanket.

Amused, Huo Zheng pulled the blanket down gently and asked, “Didn’t you say you were going to wake up early and run?”

Lin Xiaowan remembered that she planned to wake up at 6 AM to exercise today. However, she really could not open her eyes now, let alone lift the blanket off her body. In the end, she said reluctantly, “Let me sleep for another five minutes. I’ll get up after that.”

However, after five minutes passed, Lin Xiaowan wanted to sleep for another five minutes. Huo Zheng tried to wake her up with great difficulty two more times before he kissed her and said, “Go to sleep. You can start your plan tomorrow.”

However, Lin Xiaowan was not very willing to give up completely. She muttered, “I’ll do it later.”

Huo Zheng no longer disturbed her sweet dreams. He turned off the alarm clock she had set and tiptoed out of the room.

However, after he left, Lin Xiaowan found it hard to fall asleep. She closed her eyes and lay in bed for a long time, but she still could not fall asleep. After a while, she hugged the blanket and sat up. It seemed like once Huo Zheng was not around, she could not fall asleep for some reason.

Before Huo Zheng left, he had switched off the bedside light. At this time, the only light in the room came from the balcony.

Lin Xiaowan grabbed her phone and checked the time. It was 6.23 AM. It was still very early. In the end, she resigned herself to her fate and got up.

Huo Zheng was surprised when he saw her entering the gym.

“Why are you up?”

Naturally, Lin Xiaowan did not say that she could not fall asleep after he left. Instead, she said proudly, “I said I would get up early.”

Huo Zheng laughed before he taught her how to warm up first.

Lin Xiaowan was very interested in the spin bike so he let her use it after warming up.

The spin bike looked unassuming, but Lin Xiaowan soon realized that it was not as easy as it looked. After all, if it was easy, it would not count as fitness equipment.

Lin Xiaowan cycled for just a while before she slowed down and gradually stopped completely. She sat there and watched Huo Zheng do pull-ups.

“Why are you staring at me?” Huo Zheng asked.

“You’re handsome.”

“Didn’t you say you were going to exercise?” Huo Zheng asked with a hint of helplessness.

After doing a few sets of pull-ups, Huo Zheng waved Lin Xiaowan over to the treadmill.

Lin Xiaowan asked, “Can we adjust the speed? What’s the slowest speed? Can I walk?”

“Yes. Give it a try?” Huo Zheng said as he helped her get on the treadmill and adjusted the speed for her..
