Speaking of which, ever since I met Jiuliuli, I have rarely seen her take a real break.
Studying, sports, student unions, clubs, even cosmetology and housework abilities are all top ten efforts.
When Ruri was running with Ruri in the past, Sakakihara discovered that she would wear headphones when running in sportswear, and what was played in the headphones were all-English foreign news for listening practice.
Liuli and Qiyue are certainly geniuses.
However, behind the talented girls, Sakakihara Raku believes that this is their persistent efforts day after day.
...
"Lejun, has your belly gotten a little bigger recently?"
One afternoon, Raku Sakakibara, who was delayed in returning home due to school matters, met Kururi Amami who had just finished running downstairs in the apartment in front of her home.
"Are you pregnant? Are you pregnant?"
Amami Kuruuri, who was wearing a high ponytail, put her hands behind her hands, opened her eyes and looked at Sakakibara Raku's belly that took the initiative to lift the clothes, and nodded, "Yeah, yeah, it's a little bigger, and the abdominal muscle line is not as clear as before."
"..."
Sakakibara stared at his belly in silence for two seconds.
"Liu Li, do you care about this very much?"
After noticing Sakakibara Raku's expression, Amami Kuruuri seemed to realize something, and immediately waved his hand and explained: "No, no, Raku-kun, don't pay too much attention to what I said. Raku-kun is not busy at the company in July during this time.
I’m just busy taking care of everyone, and now that school has started I’m busy catching up on my studies... so it’s normal for me to have a bigger belly.”
Liuli, when you say that...it seems to hurt people's hearts even more, okay?
Sakakibara is very concerned about his stomach problem. It looks a little fat now and his abdominal muscles have lost their lines. Although this is not a serious problem, he doesn't want to become like this when he is less than 20 years old.
A middle-aged man with a big belly.
Take a look at Liuli's thin and soft arms next to her, and take a look at Liuli's sweet and soft girlish smile... She has just finished running, with a high ponytail, a fresh sports vest, and a big belly
The image doesn't match her at all!
Sakakihara Raku didn't want to go shopping with Liuli in the future, and Liuli would be misunderstood by passers-by that she dressed so glamorously because she was a wealthy person.
He doesn't care about other people's comments, but he can't stand other people's slanderous comments about Liuli.
"Probably, it's because I haven't exercised for a long time."
"...Did I say the wrong thing?"
"No," Raku Sakakibara pinched the flesh on his belly and replied with a sigh, "This is my own problem. Ruri still insists on exercising to a certain extent every day, but I have forgotten about it now. Ruri is
Aren’t you going to fall in love with my belly now?”
Tianhai Jiuliuli looked confused, "What are you talking about, Lejun?"
"Didn't Liuli like my abdominal muscles very much before? She would secretly put her hands on them while I was sleeping at night."
"When did Ruri-chan learn to be tough-tongued in July?"
Sakakihara Raku also understood that she had said something that was extremely embarrassing for Ruri. Although Ruri was very good at taking care of herself when it came to close contact... she would not talk about such topics at all in daily contact.
She never makes dirty jokes or anything like that, she is a very conservative girl.
To talk about why Liuli is willing to do those things for herself, according to Qiyue's words, it is - "If you didn't like that, do you think my sister would be very willing?".
Hearing what Qi Qi said, Sakakihara Raku felt even more sorry for Ruri.
I want to hold her in my arms and ask her, "Why do you have to do so much for me?".
Sakakihara Raku could already imagine Ruri's reply when she was sleeping in her arms. She would probably answer something like "Because I like Rakujun very much", "Because Rakujun is very good to me", "Because Rakujun loves me very much, so it's worth it"
” and the like.
...These words sound very boring, but when Liuli said them while lying in her arms, they really made people's mouths full of honey.
"...Lejun? Hello, is Lejun okay?"
Of course, in the current view of Amami Kuriuri, Sakakibara Raku fell into a silly smile for no apparent reason.
She would never have imagined that even though his girlfriend was right in front of him, he could still be immersed in the sweetness of his imagination.
"Le~~Jun~~!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm here, I'm here."
"Lejun is really smiling. I'm really worried that something will happen to you."
"Alzheimer's disease?"
"This is a disease that people only worry about after the age of 80."
Sakakibara looked at his little girlfriend's worried face, and suddenly wanted to hug her and kiss her, and wanted to tell her with practical actions how cute she was in his eyes at this time.
He reached out to hug her, but she refused, and then he suddenly realized that he was outdoors.
"...Lejun wants to be hugged every day!"
"Well...ahem, Liuli just reminded me that I should pay attention to exercise in the near future."
"Big belly problem?"
"It's a problem with my abdominal muscles! I'm afraid that if I lose my abdominal muscles, Liuli won't love me that much."
"...What are you talking about! What I like...isn't just Lejun's belly..."
"What Liuli likes won't be..."
"!!!"
Amami Jiuriuri seemed to realize something, became angry, and hit Sakakihara Raku's arm a little, "You are not allowed to think wildly!"
"I didn't say anything. It's obviously Liuli who thinks about things on your own..."
"Beat you!"
"What, it's not Liuli, you——"
"Hit you, beat you, beat you!"
Sakakihara smiled lightly, and when he saw that Jiu Liuli was really angry, he said seriously:
"Speaking of which, Liuli will always be a little disappointed when her abdominal muscles are gone and there is no place where she can sneak around at night, isn't she?"
"...No way."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!......
Liuli's anger is fake.
Even if she is really angry, if she goes up to her and coaxes her a little shamelessly, she will not be unhappy.
It is precisely because of this that Sakakihara Raku always felt that Ruri loved him very much.
The kind of love that doesn't care what you do.
This made Raku Sakakihara want to take her thoughts into consideration... As for her abdominal muscles, there is no doubt that Ruri was being tough.
Sakakihara Raku still remembered that when she came out of the shower, she would sneak a glance at her belly when she had nothing to do.
...So, in order to lose the belly fat accumulated in the past few months, Sakakihara Raku and Ruri proposed to exercise together. Ruri didn't have any objections to this matter, just returning to the past, so she happily accepted it.
In the next few days, I will just continue my daily life.
Every afternoon when Raku Sakakibara comes home from school, he and Kururi Amami go out for a run.
Five kilometers, seven kilometers, nine kilometers...
While running, you can easily feel that your physical fitness is gradually recovering.
Most people rarely achieve results after losing weight and building abdominal muscles within a month or two, but Sakakihara Raku is different.
He was a person who had practiced exercise before, but now he started exercising again, just to remove the fat.
So it only took a week to see the effect.
This afternoon he and Liuli also planned to challenge a 20-kilometer long-distance run. They would finish it in one hour and ten minutes, which was considered a marathon.
We set off at 5:30 in the afternoon and ran along the streets around the city line of the port area. Tianhai Jiuliuli returned to the apartment downstairs at 6:54.
After waiting here panting for about seven or eight minutes, Raku Sakakibara also ran back wearing sneakers.
Tianhai Jiuliuli saw that his steps were sloppy, and seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly stepped forward to support him.
Tianhai Jiuliuli could see the sweat staining his hair, and could also hear the sound of his violent breathing.
"Is Lejun okay? Is 20 kilometers too long?"
"...No, it's okay..."
Sakakibara held his legs with both hands and refused Ruri's support.
"...I have said that running should be done step by step. How can you climb from 10 kilometers back to 20 kilometers all at once?"
Sakakibara was so tired that his brain turned white.
I haven't exercised for a long time, and my physical fitness is really weak.
Surprisingly...he is completely inferior to Liuli.
"Liu Li... Liuli, you need to know, I saw you leading the race all the time... You didn't even say you were tired to any other girl, how could I have the nerve to ask you to give up?"
"Lejun, don't be brave at this time."
"...Besides, no matter what, I am also Liuli's boyfriend. How can you admit defeat..."
Tianhai Jiuliuli puffed up her face, "What do you mean by Lejun? Who said that a girlfriend can't protect her boyfriend? I will protect Lejun from now on. I also learned kendo before."
Liuli has good physical strength and is also tall.
At least most of the boys on the street are not as tall as her.
If it comes to actually starting a fight, she seems to be really good at it.
Thinking of being protected by Ruri holding a wooden sword from now on, Sakakihara Raku felt like laughing inexplicably.
"...Lejun doesn't believe it?"
"No, no... I just think... Liuli's physical ability is better than mine now, which is a bit incredible."
"Lejun just hasn't practiced for a long time, but I keep practicing every day. Especially during the time when I quarreled with Qiyue, I went for a run whenever I had free time during that time... As for protecting Lejun, Lejun
You can really think about it!"
"Liu Li wants me to eat soft rice?"
"Isn't it good?"
"Ruri, please give me some self-respect." Sakakibara said with a smile.
Return to the apartment.
I don’t know if it’s because I was exhausted from running just now, but my spirit has been a little sluggish.
Seeing Sakakibara Raku looking like this, Amami Kuruuri took care of him and let him rest on his lap after taking a bath.
Sure enough, it would be great to have a girlfriend like Liuli...
She takes care of herself when she feels uncomfortable, and is willing to rest on her soft thighs.
However, because he failed to outrun Ruri today, Sakakihara Raku was still quite concerned, because it meant that he could not even compare to Ruri in terms of physical fitness.
Obviously he is still the "brother", but she is the "sister".
"Why would Lejun compare this kind of thing?"
Sakakibara closed his eyes and thought about Amami Kuruuri's thigh flesh, "...Men have inexplicable self-esteem, and they always feel that they should not be compared to girls."
"Then we have to consider the objective facts. Lejun gave up training for too long because of other things, but I have been training."
"That's what I say, but in my heart I still want to be stronger."
...The real reason is probably multi-faceted.
From the beginning, Liuli was extremely dazzling in terms of her life experience, achievements, sports, and artistic talents.
I can't compete with my background, my grades have been tied several times, and I rely on cheats for my artistic ability. Only sports surpassed Liuli some time ago.
It can be said that exercise is the only thing that I can really compare with Liuli.
And now, due to several months of neglect, I haven't been able to catch up with Liuli after practicing for a week... This huge gap is displayed in front of me, which is a bit hard to accept.
"Why compare?"
"..." Sakakihara Raku couldn't answer, and just leaned on his girlfriend's thigh.
Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at his profile on her lap, "Lejun doesn't need to compare with me now. As I said just now, it's not that Lejun is inferior to me, it's that Lejun hasn't practiced for too long."
"...I know this, but——"
"Lejun." Tianhai Jiuliuli interrupted him.
"...Well, Liuli, tell me."
"Lejun thinks, what is the most important thing about a sport?"
"victory?"
Tianhai Jiuliuli shook his head, "Victory is absolutely important, but it is definitely not the most important thing. What is more important than victory, I think there are more things, and hard work is included in it.
"...Efforts are accumulated bit by bit, and strength is also accumulated bit by bit. No matter how talented a person is, there will be unimaginable efforts behind the scenes...A genius who studies well may

grow up.
"If there is only victory left in a sport, and factors such as love, fairness, sweat, etc. are put aside, it will only become a game for cheaters.
"I think the most valuable thing in sports, the most passionate thing, is fighting with all your strength, the feeling of trying everything to climb up... This feeling will not only make your opponents admire you, but also the audience will
Touched by you."
Sakakihara laughed: "What Ruri said is too ideal. I don't think what Ruri said is wrong, but the reality is... How can the audience care about how hard the second place works? They can't see how hard he works.
effort."
"The reality is like this... But Lejun's efforts are right in front of my eyes. I see it, and I feel it... It is precisely because of this that I feel sorry for Lejun."
"Liu Li is so outstanding."
"Don't say such things."
Tianhai Jiuliuli pouted her face as she spoke, and reached out to poke the cheek of someone on her lap.
"Really, Lejun, don't be depressed just because I can't run today. Lejun's failure now is only temporary. As long as Lejun works hard and moves forward, he will be the best Lejun... Lejun wants to continue to win."
As for me, I will wait for Lejun in front, watching silently as he slowly climbs up and surpasses me."
"Don't you dislike me?" Even though he knew her answer in his heart, Sakakibara still wanted to hear her say it herself.
"It's too late, Ai Le-kun! And why would you dislike Le-Jun just because you can't compare to me now?"
The more Sakakibara listened to her words, the more he couldn't resist the smile on his face. He put his arms around the girl's waist and buried his face in her fragrant belly, "I still want to hear it."
"What do you want to hear?"
"The words Liuli loves me."
"Aile-kun?"
"Um."
"...I can't say what Lejun wants me to say now...but I still love you very much, Lejun."
"Liu Li touched my head and said."
"...Are Lejun acting coquettishly?"
"Liu Li~~"
"Stop shouting like that..."
"Liu Li~~"
"...Lejun wants me to call you 'good'?" Tianhai Jiuliuli stroked his head and intertwined his fingers in his hair.
"Okay, I'll just call you Ruri's mother." Sakakihara hugged her waist tighter, his breath filled with the fragrance of the girl who had just taken a bath.
Tianhai Jiuliuli: "..."
"Liu Li~~"
"...Okay, okay, Lejun, be good, I will cook for you later."
"Liu Li~~"
...
"Is it a little weird for me to shout like this? I feel like I've been spoiled by you, Liuli, and become a useless person."
"...It's a bit strange." Tianhai Jiuliuli continued to touch his head and smiled softly, "But...it feels pretty good to pamper Lejun like this. I have always been pampered by Lejun like this before.
"
Sakakihara enjoyed his girlfriend's gentle touch very much, "What should this feeling be called? The motherly nature unique to girls?"
"No way...I'm not married..."
"But this is how Liuli feels to me now. Come on, Liuli, pet me a little longer and touch me a little longer."
Amami Kuruuri looked at Sakakibara Raku on his lap, laughed softly, and continued to stroke his head, "...Hmm, um, Raku-kun is good... By the way, I won't spoil you Raku-kun, right?"
"
"Then just spoil her. Liuli is so good anyway."
When Tianhai Jiuliuli heard this, he couldn't help but smile again.
