Chapter 187 Doing Exercise = Doing a Mission? A Connection with Madam Su
[Ding, you have a new casual task 1: Complete 100 squats in one day (available daily), current progress (0/100).]
Task Rewards: 1 bottle of Leg-Soothing Spray, +2 Leisure Points (currently 0 Leisure Points), +1 Constitution.
Note: Completing this task will earn you +5 points. Leisure points can be used to redeem prizes or participate in lucky draws in the [Leisure Shop]. Maxing out your Constitution to 100 will achieve your perfect physical condition.
(Friendly reminder: Remember to maintain a daily exercise routine, as a lack of exercise over a long period will lower your physical fitness levels.)
[Leg Soreness Relief Spray]: Specially designed to relieve muscle fatigue after exercise. It instantly relaxes muscles upon application, eliminating the need for further stretching and ensuring no muscle soreness occurs after exercise.
"Goodness, System, you know what, this mission is quite comprehensive. First, they give you a slap on the wrist, then a sweet treat... This is..."
The system chuckled awkwardly, making a "hehe..." sound.
But since completing the task would reward her with a spray, she had to finish squatting as quickly as possible, before her thighs even started to ache, and then spray it again after receiving the reward.
Hey~ My thighs won't explode when I wake up tomorrow!
Having made up her mind, Bai Mengran glanced at the servant who was diligently holding an umbrella for her. Seeing that he looked absent-minded, she slowly stood up.
The servant instinctively moved the umbrella upwards to continue shading her from the sun.
"Ouch~ My legs are getting sore from sitting so long, I should get up and move around a bit..."
Bai Mengran made up an excuse on the spot and then started doing squats, thinking that she should hurry up and finish the task as many times as possible.
She silently counted in her mind, becoming more and more energetic as she worked, thinking to herself: so easy~
Meanwhile, the waiter, focused solely on holding the umbrella for the guest, saw her get up to do squats and adjusted his posture slightly up and down to ensure the umbrella always covered her head.
"22...23...24..."
Bai Mengran noticed that as she did squats, a counter would pop up on the system screen, counting in real time.
Just then, Su Yingying skipped over and, upon reaching the gate of the mansion, saw Sister Bai doing squats, alternating between squatting and standing...
"Sister Bai...?"
Su Yingying called softly, wondering to herself if it was because she had made Sister Bai wait for so long that her legs had gone numb.
"...Thirty! Oh my god, I'm exhausted!"
When Bai Mengran had done about twenty reps, her thighs were already sore and trembling slightly, but she gritted her teeth and persevered until she finished thirty reps before stopping.
She was panting heavily and waved to Su Yingying, "Yingying, you're finally out! My legs were about to give way if you hadn't come soon..."
Bai Mengran originally thought that only Su Yingying came out, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Just as she was about to tell Su Yingying to get in the car quickly, she saw two more people come out of the door.
Su Yingying rushed out first, while Su Zirang accompanied Madam Su and walked more slowly, so neither of them saw Bai Mengran doing squats at the gate.
Upon seeing them approach, Bai Mengran secretly rejoiced that she had pulled her leg back in time, thus avoiding the awkwardness that might have occurred during their first meeting.
She quickly composed herself and immediately went forward to greet them in a serious manner.
"Auntie, I apologize for coming to see Yingying. I heard that the academy is closed today, but I haven't seen her, so I came to inquire..."
As Bai Mengran spoke, she curtsied to Madam Su, but her thighs, which had just been squatting deeply, trembled uncontrollably...
With a kind smile, Madam Su quickly took Bai Mengran's hand, indicating that she didn't need to be so polite.
"I didn't know Miss Bai would be coming. I've kept you waiting at the door for quite a while. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience."
Madam Su carefully examined Bai Mengran and found her to be outstanding in temperament, proper in manners, and well-mannered. She couldn't help but feel a sense of fondness for her.
In addition, Su Yingying had been talking about her Sister Bai every day at home these past few days, which made Madam Su feel even more favorably toward Bai Mengran.
She praised her affectionately, saying, "I've heard that Miss Bai and my daughter are destined to be together, and that she has taken great care of my daughter. Meeting her today, I can see that Miss Bai is truly beautiful and intelligent!"
Bai Mengran smiled modestly and repeatedly said, "I dare not accept such praise."
Then, she extended an invitation: "I came here specifically to invite Yingying to [Fairyland]. Since Auntie and this person... must be Yingying's brother?"
Why don't you two come with us?
As she spoke, she pointed to the "flying car" parked in front of the Su residence, "We just got a new one today, just the right size to seat the four of us..."
Upon hearing that Bai Mengran had also invited her mother and brother, Su Yingying was instantly moved and quickly urged her mother again, "Mom~ Since Sister Bai has invited you, why don't you come with us?"
Su Zirang was also deeply attracted by the cool car, and was overjoyed when he heard Bai Mengran's invitation.
So he also helped his sister persuade her, "Yes, Mother, you see, the young lady specially invited you, so let's go together?"
Although Madam Su did not like to go out, she was not unapproachable.
She glared at her son, feigning anger, and said, "Look at what you're saying! I never said I wouldn't go! Miss Bai invited me, so of course I'm going. Besides, I'm quite curious about that 'fairyland' myself!"
Su Yingying and Su Zirang gained a new understanding of how quickly their mother could change her expression, and the two were speechless for a moment.
Fortunately, my mother was eventually persuaded, and it was quite lively for the whole family to go together.
Su Yingying secretly gave Bai Mengran a thumbs up in her heart: It has to be Sister Bai. She called for her mother for a long time but couldn't get her to move, but Sister Bai solved the problem with just one sentence.
Madam Su had always preferred daughters, but she had given birth to only sons in a row, which greatly distressed her.
Later, after much difficulty, she finally had a daughter, who was naturally showered with love and affection from a young age.
Mr. Su had a daughter late in life and doted on her. As a result, Su Yingying was quite mischievous when she was young, and Mrs. Su was afraid that her daughter would be spoiled by her father.
Fortunately, she stepped in in time to set the rules, which prevented Su Yingying from going astray on her path of growth.
When Madam Su first saw Bai Mengran, she thought she was well-behaved, generous, polite, and capable of running her own business. This kind of girl was exactly the perfect daughter in her mind...
Therefore, she was delighted to see Bai Mengran and changed her mind, agreeing to go out.
Seeing that Bai Mengran had even prepared a car to pick them up, Madam Su felt even more that this girl was truly thoughtful.
Bai Mengran thoughtfully arranged, "Auntie, please sit in the back with me and Yingying..."
The driver had already gotten out of the car and opened the door for them, warmly welcoming them.
"Oh, very good, Miss Bai is so kind," Madam Su replied repeatedly.
Bai Mengran walked to the other side, opened the car door, and got in. Su Yingying was about to squeeze in and sit next to Bai Mengran when Madam Su stopped her.
"Yingying, let your mother go in and sit down first. You can sit on the very edge!"
Then Mrs. Su happily sat in the middle seat, and did not forget to praise, "Miss, this carriage is really comfortable. There is plenty of room for the three of us to sit in the back!"
"This is the upcoming 'flying taxi,' and we've specially invited you to try it out today. However, the distance from here to [Fairyland] is rather short, so the experience might not be very impressive..."
After giving a brief explanation, Bai Mengran turned to Madam Su and said kindly, "If you don't mind, Auntie, you can just call me Ranran..."
Upon hearing this, Madam Su's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she quickly replied, "I don't mind! Of course I don't mind, Ranran. In my eyes, you are just like Yingying."
"If you have time in the future, please come to our house to play with Yingying often. Your aunt will definitely treat you well!"
Upon hearing Madam Su's heartwarming words, Bai Mengran felt a sudden pang of sadness welling up inside her.
Perhaps because she hadn't seen her mother for a long time, she felt a warmth similar to her mother's from Madam Su.
She quickly suppressed her inner turmoil, smiled sweetly, and sincerely replied, "Okay~ Thank you for your concern, Auntie. Ranran will remember!"
