180: Chapter 180: The Dead of Night!
“Dad, it’s late at night, can you even see the road?” Zhang Fan asked.
Zhang Dongyang took out a headlamp and tossed it to Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan sighed in his heart, my goodness, Dad is fully prepared.
“What kind of training?” Ouyang Feng asked with great curiosity, immediately inquiring.
“Ouyang classmate, do you want to join us?
As a basketball athlete, it’s not good to be so weak,” Zhang Fan said with a naughty smile on his face.
Ouyang Feng’s eyes flashed defiantly as he retorted, “Fine, let’s see who’s better.”
“Hehehehe!” Zhang Fan’s mischievous grin got thicker, “That’s settled then, don’t chicken out later.”
With that, Zhang Fan threw the military backpack to Ouyang Feng.
The moment Ouyang Feng caught the backpack, his face looked somewhat ugly.
“Weighted cross-country?” Ouyang Feng swallowed, feeling that the weight was definitely not light.
“It’s just a 10-kilometer cross-country with a 20kg load.
Classmate Ouyang, with your physique, you can’t tell me you can’t handle this,” Zhang Fan said provocatively.
“20kg weighted cross-country…” Ouyang Feng stiffened for a moment, then calmly replied, “Heh, that’s just my usual level.”
Damn it, in front of his own grandfather, how could he show weakness?
After all, he was an athlete too, and he also ran for 10 kilometers every day.
It’s just 20kg more, that’s all.
“Can you handle it?” Zhang Xiaoyuan quietly remarked.
She remembered how Ye Yan looked when she came back in the morning, practically like a mudslide.
Ouyang Feng’s face instantly turned red.
Can a man say he can’t do it?
Especially in front of a girl.
“Zhang Fan, let’s make a bet.
If I finish first, you have to join my team and compete with me in the provincial games,” Ouyang Feng said.
Zhang Fan chuckled, “And what if I finish first?”
“Up to you,” Ouyang Feng responded.
Zhang Fan’s eyes flickered, and then he said wickedly, “Okay, if you lose, how about wearing women’s clothes while accompanying me shopping?
I won’t rest, and you’re not allowed to stop!”
Ouyang Feng’s back suddenly turned cold.
Women’s clothes?
What the hell is this punishment?
Then Ouyang Feng took a step back sharply, “Hey, you’re not into me, are you?”
Zhang Fan almost slapped him, damn it, I’m not gay.
“Just for that remark, you’re done for,” Zhang Fan said viciously.
“Xiao Fan, you’re still young, some bad habits need to be changed,” Qin Shuang said with a worried expression.
Zhang Fan smiled wryly.
He really wanted to say, Aunt Qin, you’re my future mother-in-law.
But considering that Qin Shuang might make Ye Xuan move out, Zhang Fan took a deep breath, “Aunt Qin, I really only like girls.”
Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaoyuan was covering her mouth, laughing so hard she was trembling all over.
Zhang Fan glared at Zhang Xiaoyuan fiercely, hmph, tonight you will see how amazing your brother is.
When Ouyang Feng followed to the foot of the mountain, he was totally dumbfounded.
Damn, are we actually going up the mountain?
When Zhang Dongyang was the first to step onto the mountain, Ouyang Feng felt a sinking feeling in his heart!
Damn it, we really are going up the mountain.
After five kilometers, his legs were already trembling.
After seven kilometers, he knelt down.
“Hahaha, remember the women’s clothes,” Zhang Fan said with a triumphant smile, then gritted his teeth and followed his dad’s pace.
At this point, although the cross-country was somewhat easier than before, after nine kilometers, Zhang Fan still felt his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
When he finally climbed to the top of the mountain, Zhang Fan felt as if his throat had been filled with magma.
“`
“Not bad, not bad,” Zhang Dongyang’s eyes flickered with admiration.
Zhang Fan really gave him far too many surprises.
On the first day, a 20kg, 10km cross-country race was actually completed, and moreover, he participated in an ultra-marathon run.
In the evening, he went for another round.
Such superhuman physical ability and recovery power were simply as if he was born for training.
“Continue, let’s head back home down the mountain!” Zhang Dongyang said slowly, with a shimmer in his gaze.
Zhang Fan almost knelt down, looking at his dad and wailing, “Dad, we’re still going?”
“Move it, less talking,” Zhang Dongyang said and started running ahead.
Zhang Fan continued following behind, utterly speechless.
Ouyang Feng, who had already rested up, saw them running down and his eyeballs nearly popped out.
Damn, are they continuing to run?
You know, going up a mountain is easy but descending is hard.
Although going downhill is lighter, if you’re not careful, you can roll all the way down.
His legs were still trembling.
If he ran down the mountain, he would definitely fall and end up like a dog.
Zhang Fan didn’t even have the energy to mock Ouyang Feng any longer, doing his best to control his own legs, especially the nearly thirty-centimeter-high steps.
With each step, it felt as if all the muscles in his body were being torn apart.
Five kilometers!
Three kilometers!
One kilometer!
By the time he ran through the gate, Zhang Fan collapsed on the ground.
Ye Jingtian, Qin Shuang, Zhang Xiaoyuan, and Gao Yuan hurried over.
“Just give him some saline,” Zhang Dongyang panted heavily.
With such intense training, even he almost couldn’t keep up.
He truly didn’t know how his son managed to endure.
“Dongyang brother, aren’t you being a bit too harsh?
What if you break little Fan?” Ye Jingtian said with a frown.
“Yeah, Zhang, little Fan is just a kid,” Gao Yuan quickly massaged Zhang Fan, trying to relax his muscles and stimulate his blood flow.
“Uncle, you’re too mean,” Zhang Xiaoyuan pouted, showing her discontent.
Zhang Dongyang chuckled honestly, “Don’t worry, this kid has thick skin and can’t be easily harmed.
It was similar this morning, but he still ran a marathon in the afternoon, didn’t he?”
Qin Shuang rolled her eyes.
At this moment, all she wanted was to hold Zhang Fan in her arms and pamper him.
The kid with no mother, stuck with such a father, how on earth had Zhang Fan coped all these years?
It took Zhang Fan ten minutes before he finally came around.
However, seeing that his attributes hadn’t changed at all, he was extremely disappointed.
Oh my god, all this and still his body’s limit hadn’t been broken?
Damn, it couldn’t be this much of a tease!
He had just run a grueling twenty kilometers.
But seeing that his Strength had increased a bit, Zhang Fan felt somewhat consoled.
At least it hadn’t all been for nothing.
However, feeling his body go soft all over, his heart sank.
Half an hour later, Zhang Fan finally felt like his body was his own again.
And by that time, Ouyang Feng had only just sauntered back.
At this moment, the only thought in his heart was that he would never again compete with this freak in any kind of physical challenge.
Zhang Fan really couldn’t understand—surely the daytime marathon was harder than this evening’s ordeal, right?
Why was it that after a short sleep he had recovered, but now, even after half an hour, his body was still so sore?
Could it be that he needed to sleep to recover?
Bearing the pain, he washed up and climbed straight into bed, falling asleep like a dead dog.
In the dead of night, Zhang Xiaoyuan, wearing her pajamas, tiptoed into Zhang Fan’s room and sneaked under his quilt.
