I loaded the character design panel.

Chapter 14 Shopping Spree

The two didn't talk for long, after all, they were at different stages of life and their paces were different.

Ang Lee ran for a while longer, until he was almost too tired to run anymore before he stopped.

[You are training hard as a sports prodigy. Your character development progress has increased by 1%, and you are rewarded with 500 yuan.]

Having successfully received the award, Li An, covered in sweat, stood still to rest until his breathing improved before leaving the playground.

With time to spare before 8 a.m., he made a special trip back to his dormitory.

When he returned to the dormitory, only Jiang Jiahao was still there, lying on the bed playing on his phone.

It might have been an opportunity for a private conversation, but Ang Lee was too exhausted to pay any attention to him. He just glanced at him and went to the balcony to wash.

Class is about to start, and if he doesn't wash up, he'll inevitably smell of sweat later.

"He disappeared early this morning. So he didn't go to class, but went to train?"

"What does this mean? Does he want to work out and get stronger so he can beat me up?"

Jiang Jiahao noticed that his clothes were soaked with sweat and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Actually, he didn't sleep very well last night.

Because Li An's behavior last night was too strange, he stared at him when he got back to the dormitory. He looked like he had discovered something, but he didn't say a word.

This made him very uncomfortable, as if he were being watched by a venomous snake.

Seeing Ang Lee acting out of character, not waiting until almost 8 a.m. to leave the house as he used to, but instead going out to exercise early in the morning, only confirms his suspicions.

If possible, he would prefer that Ang Lee confront him directly, rather than let things remain as they are now.

Not long after, Ang Lee washed himself with a damp towel, returned to his bed, took out milk and two loaves of bread from his suitcase, and left.

He always keeps ready-made meals in his suitcase, which helps him cope with oversleeping and missing breakfast, as well as the problem of expensive late-night snacks.

Eating as he walked, Ang Lee arrived at the classroom before 8 a.m. after filling his stomach.

Unlike high school, university seats are not fixed and can be freely chosen according to individual wishes.

The front row is usually the area for top students and diligent learners, while the middle and back rows are more relaxed areas.

Ang Lee, who usually sits in the middle row, quickly found an empty seat.

On his way to his seat, he discovered that Zhong Lixue had already arrived and was sitting in the first row.

At the same time, Zhong Lixue also noticed his arrival.

Good morning.

When they met eyes, Ang Lee waved and greeted her.

Good morning.

Zhong Lixue was surprised that he would greet her in the classroom. She was stunned for a moment, then waved to him excitedly.

After exchanging greetings, Ang Lee took a seat in an empty spot in the middle row.

Perhaps something happened yesterday, but he didn't intend to sit with Zhong Lixue.

The first row is too conspicuous, and the relationship between men and women is a very sensitive topic on campus.

It's fine to just chat, but if you sit together and are always seen together, it's basically safe to assume you're dating.

Moreover, he sweated a lot while running this morning and didn't change his clothes. It would be a bit awkward if he sat down with someone and they could smell his sweat.

"Isn't everyone saying Ang Lee likes hot girls? Why is he greeting Zhong Lixue? Is she a rising star? Or is she actually a two-faced oddball, with one persona on campus and the other off?"

As the two interacted, some boys became curious.

Ang Lee is a notorious playboy with extremely high standards. The fact that he has his eye on Zhong Lixue means she is not as ordinary as people think.

"Xiao Zhong, you need to be careful of Li An. He's a notorious womanizer."

Some girls noticed this and, before class started, came to Zhong Lixue's seat to whisper to her.

She and Zhong Lixue were roommates. Because they spent so much time together, she knew that Zhong was shy and insecure, came from a poor family, and was quite pretty without her glasses.

Although her female characteristics are not well developed, her slender, petite figure is very much to the liking of some people.

Moreover, as far as she knew, Xiao Zhong had never been in a relationship before, and was very likely a virgin.

"He's not a womanizer, that's all a rumor."

Zhong Lixue simply did not believe such a reminder.

Ang Lee told her last night that he still has his first kiss, so how could someone like that be the scumbag everyone talks about?

"Alright."

Seeing that she was still obsessed and clearly captivated by Ang Lee's looks and methods, her roommate didn't say anything more.

It's hard to reason with a damned devil. Although she didn't know how Li An discovered that Zhong Lixue was a potential catch, she wasn't the one being played with by a scumbag, so why bother?

As class time drew closer, other students arrived at the classroom one after another.

Jiang Jiahao was the last to arrive at the classroom, arriving just in time.

Because they are new to university, freshmen have a high attendance rate and very few are absent.

Ang Lee is quite serious about his studies, after all, he developed this habit during high school, and computer science is also a major he likes.

I didn't listen to any of the lessons yesterday, simply because I was affected by Zhong Lixue's death prediction.

After a few classes, it was lunchtime.

Ang Lee did not invite Chung Li-hsueh to dinner. He got a meal and sat down alone in the cafeteria. Remembering what his senior had said this morning, "There's a trick to running," he took out his phone.

The principle that "to do a good job, one must first have the right tools" applies to any field.

From last night until now, as a sports prodigy, he has successfully accumulated 3% progress through hard training and received a cash reward of 1500 yuan.

For the long term, putting everything else aside, getting a new pair of running shoes that fit well is a must.

"So many styles..."

With a sufficient budget, Ang Lee opened Li Ning's flagship online store and was immediately overwhelmed by the choices.

Students with poor grades have a lot of stationery. Regardless of gender, everyone is always full of novelty when they come into contact with a new field.

Although he has been running since he was a child, he used to run passively, such as during physical education classes, morning exercises, and military training. Now, he runs actively, and his enthusiasm is naturally different.

After spending ten minutes, Li An selected a pair of shoes that looked great, had rave reviews, delivered the same day, and cost 589 yuan. He was about to close JD.com, but the recommended text in the search bar successfully caught his attention.

Running gear.

Click to jump, and a dazzling array of all kinds of goods will come into his view.

Water bottles, sports watches, waist packs, quick-drying and breathable clothing, socks and underwear, running caps, sunglasses, reflective armbands for night running... so many things.

Most importantly, these items are quite inexpensive.

After he finished buying the aforementioned items, the text in the search bar once again caught his attention.

Fitness equipment.

Click to jump to dumbbells, hand grips, arm exercisers, kettlebells, ab wheels. The big data algorithm probably sensed that he was about to start exercising and is recommending related products.

"I wonder if indoor training can accumulate progress..."

Seeing this, after thinking it over, Ang Lee decided to buy a pair of dumbbells and try to train in his dormitory that night.

Although he only needs to run to accumulate progress, running depends on the weather. If indoor fitness is also considered hard work, then that would be even better.

Most importantly, my buddy is rich now, so he doesn't care about a few pennies.

Just as he was shopping, his phone suddenly vibrated a few times, and a message came in.

Xuexue: "Can I talk to you at school?"
