Chapter 332: Boyfriend
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the treadmill, Yunan Xiao was wearing a pink T-shirt and black leggings. Outside the leggings, she also wore pink-rimmed black shorts. Her clothes were not close-fitting, however, her flawless figure was outlined perfectly.
Now Yunan Xiao's forehead had been covered with tiny sweat beads. Her face was also flushed, because of the intense exercise. She was listening to music with earphones, so she didn't realized Dai Li's arrival immediately.
Yunan Xiao was the General Manager of Dingtian Club. Dai Li could meet her occasionally in the daytime, but he would only greet her every time. Actually, both of them had never had any real verbal communication before.
Also, Dai Li always thought a princess like Yunan Xiao was a person from a world which was different with his, although they were of about the same age. He decided to keep his distance from her.
However, since he had met her here, he had to say hello to her; so Dai Li came up to her and said first, "Hello, General Manager Xiao, sorry for interrupting your exercise."
After hearing Dai Li's words, Yunan Xiao turned around and saw Dai Li. She was also a little bit surprised. Obviously, she didn't expect someone would still in the club and come to the training room at this time.
"Coach Li, it's getting dark, why didn't you go home?" as Yunan Xiao said this, she smiled at Dai Li slightly.
When Yunan Xiao smiled, her dimples made her quite lovely, which intoxicated Dai Li for a short while. However, Dai Li came to himself immediately and explained, "Our club has just imported several pieces of training equipment from Europe. I came here to get familiar with them, and figure out their functions."
As Dai Li spoke, he pointed at the operation manual in his hand, "The operation manual is in English. I couldn't understand the content by only reading it, so I have to operate the equipment personally."
"I see. So that's why I didn't see you here before." Yunan Xiao nodded, then said, "I sit in the office every day, and have no time to do exercise, so whenever I have time after work, I will come here to use the treadmills and such."
"So I'll leave you to it." Dai Li nodded at Yunan Xiao politely, then walked to the new equipment with the operation manual.
After stabilizing his mind, Dai Li started to operate the new training equipment.
This one has the function of heart rate measurement. I saw similar equipment in the United States, which was not as advanced as this. This one could not only measure the heart rate, but also could export the data by pressing one button. After downloading the APP, this equipment could be connected to the mobile phone or a tablet computer, then all data could be checked with a mobile phone.
This is the air resistance training device, of which the precision could reach 0.1kg level. The air resistance training device of the National Table Tennis Team could only reach the 1kg precision level. This one also has the progressive resistance setting function, so it should be the most advanced air resistance training device on the market.
Dai Li started to learn the functions of the new equipment, according to the operation manual. Suddenly, all the lamps of the training room went out, and the equipment operated by Dai Li also stopped working.
Is it a power outage? Dai Li realized it was so, and was a little bit shocked. Nowadays, normally a notification would be given before a power outage took place in cities. This kind of unexpected power outage was quite rare, which would happen only once in several years.
"Ouch…" a shout came in, which was followed by a sound of a collision.
It's the sound of Yunan Xiao. Dai Li took out his mobile phone and activated the function of the flashlight, then walked toward Yunan Xiao.
Dai Li came to the treadmill, guided by the light of his mobile phone. He found Yunan Xiao was sitting on the ground, rubbing her right ankle with both of her hands.
Dai Li knew Yunan Xiao had fallen off the treadmill. The track of the treadmill was driven electrically. During the power outage, the treadmill would lose power supply, and thus, stopped naturally. People, who were running on the treadmill, would lose their balance and fall off, due to the inertia.
"General Manager Xiao, are you ok?" as Dai Li asked, he squatted down to check the injuries of Yunan Xiao.
"It seems I have sprained my ankle," Yunan Xiao said, clenching her teeth.
"Don't move, let me check it." Dai Li touched her ankle with his hand gently, "Does it hurt here?"
Yunan Xiao's body shivered suddenly. Obviously, the pain point was touched, then she nodded, pointing: "This is it."
"It should be a normal sprain. Your muscles and bones are ok." Dai Li continued to say, "Take off your shoe, and let me rub your ankle first."
Yunan Xiao hesitated a bit, then she nodded. Dai Li took off Yunan Xiao's shoe and sock, and started to rub the sprain gently. For a high level physical trainer like Dai Li, this kind of massage was just like eating and drinking, which could be considered as the most elementary of skills.
However, now Dai Li was quite nervous. He could even hear his own heartbeat. "Just tell me if you feel any pain, I will do it more gently." Dai Li said.
"It hurts!" Yunan Xiao said immediately.
"OK, I will be more gentle…" suddenly Dai Li felt that, if their dialogue was written down, it would cause misunderstanding.
Stop thinking nonsense! Normally my thoughts are not so filthy! Dai Li took a self-mocking breath; however, the fragrance from Yunan Xiao's body rushed into Dai Li's nose, which made him more nervous.
Dai Li peeped at Yunan Xiao. Under the dim light of the mobile phone, Yunan Xiao's pink-and-white face was very tender. At this moment, Yunan Xiao's face was indeed flushed, maybe because of the exercises, or the pain, or the shyness for putting her foot in the hands of a strange man.
Sometimes a woman was more attractive in dim light. At this moment, because of the power outage, it was quite just this way in the training room. Dai Li could even hear the breath of Yunan Xiao, which made Dai Li feel Yunan Xiao was incredibly beautiful.
I am breathing the same air with her! Dai Li was quite excited. He dared not keep looking at Yunan Xiao's face. He was afraid that he couldn't help staring at Yunan Xiao, which would be very embarrassing. Therefore, he tried to focus on his massage work.
However, Yunan Xiao's white-and-tender foot came into the view of Dai Li. Her toenails were coated with red nail polish, which were just like rubies in the dim light, while her white and tender skin added some charms to her foot. Also, the smooth and soft sense of touching the tender skin in Yunan Xiao's foot made Dai Li fanciful and fickle, and gave him an impulse to touch the foot slowly.
Normally, the objects of Dai Li's massage therapy were males, many of them had a lot of injuries in their legs and feet, and their skin was very rough. The different feeling of touching Yunan Xiao's foot made Dai Li feel more than a little bit awkward.
However, the rehabilitative massage was effective. Yunan Xiao's ankle was better than before, but she was still a little bit gimpy.
According to Yunan Xiao's current situation, she couldn't continue her exercise. Without power supply, Dai Li also couldn't continue his study of the new equipment. Now both of them had to leave the training room.
"Coach Li, thank you. I feel much better now." Yunan Xiao paused a bit and then made her farewell, "It's late now, I don't know when the power supply could be resumed, so I will go home now."
"En, the lamps are out, how about I walk you out?" Dai Li couldn't help saying this. However, hardly were the words uttered, when he began to regret them.
I am too rash. We don't know each other very well. If she refuses me, it will be very embarrassing! Dai Li said to himself.
But Yunan Xiao also couldn't help nodding her head, "Thank you, my car is parking in the underground parking lot."
...
Dai Li was holding the light with his mobile phone in one of his hands, and supporting Yunan Xiao with the other hand. Finally, they walked to a red Maserati in the underground parking lot.
No wonder she is a princess! This is a Maserati! Although Dai Li didn't know the price of the car, he definitely knew he couldn't afford such a car. At this moment, he was quite sober of mind. He made it clear again that he and Yunan Xiao were people from two different worlds.
"Thank you." After expressing appreciation to Dai Li, Yunan Xiao sat in the driver's seat. Before closing the car door, Yunan Xiao stuck her head out of the car.
"Coach Li, could you drive me home? My ankle still hurts, and I couldn't step on the gas pedal with my foot," Yunan Xiao said in an injured tone.
"Alright. Your ankle is injured, and you are really not in a good condition to drive." Dai Li was a little bit excited in his heart. He couldn't help finding an excuse for himself.
...
Dai Li drove the red Maserati to a villa area, according to the instruction of Yunan Xiao. Dai Li knew this villa area, which was developed by Dingtian Group. The price also ranked among the top in China. It was said that a lot of rich people were living here. The security control of the area was very strict. Ordinary people would never have a chance to enter this area. However, all the security guards knew Yunan Xiao's car. The red Maserati entered the villa area without any obstruction.
It was already dark outside, but the villa was lit up by a lot of lamps from outside and inside. Dai Li estimated the floor area of the villa was about 1 to 2 Mu (666.7 m2~ 1333.3 m2), according to the length of the wall enclosed the villa. Dai Li drove the car directly into the courtyard, finding his estimation of the villa's area was too conservative.
What a big villa! As Dai Li exclaimed in his heart, he stopped the car. Just at this moment, a young man came out from the villa. "Yunan, you are back. I have been waiting for you for a long time!" the young man shouted from afar.
"Fen Luo, why are you here?" Yunan Xiao frowned, obviously displeased.
At this moment, the young man, whose name was Fen Luo, also noticed that Yunan Xiao got out of the car from the passenger side.
"You didn't drive, right? Have you drunk during social activities? You found a designated driver, right? You could just call me, I would pick you up," Fen Luo said gallantly, as he ignored Dai Li completely. He thought Dai Li was just a designated driver.
Then Dai Li got out of the car and prepared to return the key to Yunan Xiao.
"I didn't drink any alcohol. He is also not a designated driver." Yunan Xiao looked at Fen Luo discontentedly. She clenched her teeth inadvertently and pointed at Dai Li, "He is my boyfriend!"
"What? Your boyfriend?" Fen Luo shouted in surprise, and stared at Dai Li like a murderer.
Boyfriend? Dai Li said to himself. He doubted whether he had had an auditory hallucination. His face was filled with an expression like that of a crashed computer!
