Chapter 5530: Chapter 5530: Confrontation
Guard Xiao Yu also received four red envelopes, following Uncle Fu to give New Year’s blessings.
Chief Engineer Fu and Old Man Xia hadn’t gotten out of bed yet; at 5:30 in the morning, there weren’t many who could get up so early.
Following that, the two siblings made the same move and walked towards the main door.
"You went to bed late last night yet managed to get up early— not bad," Li Jinnian stepped back, letting Ye Jian go first.
Ye Jian, walking ahead, smiled and replied, "Aren’t you the same? You’re used to it." She added, "The weather is nice, no snow. How about going out for a couple of laps?"
"Sure, together."
Li Jinnian first took out Ye Jian’s sneakers from the shoe cabinet before picking his own. As Ye Jian bent down to put on her shoes, Li Jinnian seemed to discover something, lifting his hand to pull the collar of Ye Jian’s jacket. "New clothes? Did Xia Jinyuan buy them?"
Knowing his sister, she wasn’t one to buy new clothes throughout the four seasons.
Ye Jian adjusted her short cotton jacket, lifted her feet, tugged at her pants, and the light blue high-neck sweater underneath, "From head to toe, all brand new, all bought by him. Bro, remember to buy clothes for your wife in the future too."
Ye Jian thought about not seeing Xia Jinyuan today and wore newly bought convenient trousers.
She then changed into the newly bought running sneakers and went out running with Li Jinnian in her new outfit.
Hearing the activity, Uncle Fu, who was busy in the kitchen, hurried out and called to the two siblings ready to leave, "Jian, Jinnian, go exercise first, breakfast will be ready when you come back."
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Fu!" Ye Jian crisply responded and quickly exited the Fu family’s main gate with Li Jinnian. Ye Jian was not very familiar with Dan Gui Garden, having never walked outside there, and stuck close to Li Jinnian.
Li Jinnian did not deliberately slow down, yet Ye Jian kept closely behind him without showing any signs of strain.
Considering testing Ye Jian’s endurance, Li Jinnian suddenly sped up halfway through, his feet flying like they had engines, darting several meters ahead in a blink of an eye.
Dan Gui Garden was not an ordinary neighborhood; all buildings were on one level, surrounded by an ecological park and a hill similar in height to Mount Xiang, with villas built along the hillside in the architectural style of the Republic of China period. Hence, the roads and paths in the hills all followed the slopes and required some physical strength to traverse.
But the garden was serene and quiet, with the air and scenery uniquely pleasant, with the older generation living there loving to stroll along the paths and roads as a form of exercise.
The track Li Jinnian chose, usually for vehicle traffic extending up to the hilltop, was physically demanding. Running for thirty minutes uphill, he suddenly sped up, darting several meters ahead, which demonstrated that Li Jinnian indeed had a strong physique.
But Ye Jian was no lesser.
His sudden acceleration and deliberate look back were a clear challenge, and how could Ye Jian not see it?
A challenge had been issued, and it must be accepted!
Ready to battle, who was afraid?
Ye Jian, never afraid and only growing more valiant in battle, also sped up. In the deep winter’s early morning, with temperatures nearly ten degrees below zero, the two siblings fearlessly started their strength competition.
In terms of endurance, Ye Jian had never lost. Actually, she had never lost in any type of competition.
There’s no first in literature, and no second in martial arts; if one competes, naturally they compete to be first.
