My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts Chapter 361 - 123 S-Class Constitution!
It’s not anyone else who helps Du Xixi exercise, but the one closest to her, Ke Lian.
Logically speaking, Ke Lian, as the head of the Alliance Military Competition, shouldn’t leave the Military Departnt for too long. Going ho to rest daily is already a humane practice by the Military Departnt; previously, most heads stayed at the Military Departnt until the competition was over.
But the Military Departnt sympathizes that Du Xixi’s situation was an unforeseen disaster, and they also hope that her physical abilities can improve with Ke Lian’s help, at least to perform better during the Alliance Military Competition.
Therefore, Ke Lian, as Du Xixi’s husband, was given leave by his superiors, and only needs to return if there are extrely important matters that require his involvent during the competition.
Du Xixi felt this was a good decision. At least Ke Lian himself is highly skilled and has experience training new recruits every year, so training her would surely be easy for him, but Ke Lian didn’t quite agree with this.
Ke Lian is soone who dotes on his wife. Normally, if Du Xixi accidentally scrapes herself while cooking, it pains him greatly. Now, asking him to train his wife like a new recruit is sothing he simply can’t accept!
Thus, in the Ke Family’s training room in the morning, Ke Lian looked at his petite wife in sportswear with so helplessness, as the couple stared into each other’s eyes. Ke Lian eventually looked away awkwardly and said in a low voice, "Why don’t you run two laps around the training room to warm up."
Du Xixi: ...
Du Xixi looked around the training room, which was large but only several hundred ters after two laps, and felt that Ke Lian might be a big obstacle in her path to physical exercise. She imdiately held her forehead and helplessly said, "Ke Lian, can’t you be a bit harsher with ?"
Du Xixi was sowhat aware of her own physical abilities. Having carried a heavy iron pot weighing dozens of kilograms without feeling tired, she felt she should at least run seven or eight laps to effectively warm up.
Ke Lian heard what Du Xixi said, his ears felt a bit hot, but when he t Du Xixi’s clear eyes, he ultimately said softly, "You know, I just can’t bear to be harsh with you."
Ke Lian is that kind of person—cold and distant when he doesn’t like soone, able to endure a lifeti, but once he falls for soone, he feels that holding and protecting them isn’t enough, wishing he could keep them at the top of his heart, watching over them constantly.
Du Xixi is the one he places at the top of his heart. For the woman he loves, Ke Lian believes he simply can’t be harsh no matter what.
"Thank you, but the Alliance Military Competition is about to start. Do you truly have the heart to see embarrass myself in front of the All-Star?" Du Xixi took a deep breath. Though she loved Ke Lian’s sweet words, at this mont, she hoped he would treat her as a new recruit instead of his wife.
Don’t be fooled by the words ’civilian competition’, which may sound casual; for the Empire to exhaust themselves to bring Du Xixi in, it’s clear that the participants aren’t necessarily all civilians.
A civilian could be an assassin or a soldier with a hidden identity. As a weak girl with the strength to barely tie up a chicken, without a kitchen knife in hand, Du Xixi might get skinned alive on the competition field.
Du Xixi employed a bit of verbal skill. Knowing that Ke Lian felt sorry for her, she deliberately said so, and indeed, Ke Lian was caught in the trap: "Of course I can’t bear to see you embarrassed, but..."
"No buts!" Du Xixi grabbed Ke Lian’s arm and used his most irresistible pleading expression, saying, "Ke Lian, I really don’t want to embarrass our Blue Star Empire; please help !"
Ke Lian looked at Du Xixi for a while, seeing her determined expression, clearly intent on harsh training before she would be satisfied, he took a deep breath and tried to adjust his attitude.
After a long pause, Ke Lian closed his eyes and opened them again, with Du Xixi clearly seeing the seriousness in his eyes. Du Xixi knew that her upcoming grueling training was about to begin at this mont.
"Xixi, endurance running with weights for an hour, comnce imdiately!"
"Yes!"
The sunlight stread through the training room’s window, warmly falling on the two of them.
Everything was proceeding smoothly.
Throughout the morning, Du Xixi only engaged in so ordinary exercise activities, but because of Ke Lian’s seriousness, the difficulty level followed Military Departnt standards, which undoubtedly represented a significant challenge for Du Xixi.
However, as Du Xixi comnted on herself, she is soone who can endure hardship. Clenching her teeth and persevering aren’t much for her; even if exhausted and worn out, she never said a word of giving up amid the sweat she shed.
