“What are you doing?” Seeing the chubby Lin Wenwen wearing a loose-fitting sports suit and a pair of trainers, Dong Lijia looked at her and asked.
It wasn’t like what he thought, was it?
“Can’t you see?” said Lin Wenwen, “I need to improve your sister’s body, or she won’t send me back to where I came from.”
“She won’t send you back?” Dong Lijia stopped short with surprise, then continued, “What do you mean? Can she talk to you?”
Lin Wenwen nodded, “She’s in this body too actually. She’s too weak to control her own body, so she asked for my help. Also, your sister knows about the apocalypse too. She asked me to tell you.”
After saying that, she picked up Dong Xinxin’s phone and started checking the orders that she made last night. She spent the whole night making orders online last night. As the quantities were too large, many shop owners discussed the delivery time with her, because they were worried that she might switch to the other shops. All the orders she made were large; many shop owners were delighted and worried at the same time. They were delighted because the large orders would bring them a fortune, and they were worried because they did not have such large quantities in stock.
The main goods she ordered were rice and flour, as well as some medicines and packaged foods. Aside from those, she had also bought a batch of seeds from a farm owner for her sister to plant in her space.
“She asked you to tell me? How did she know… Oh, you said that you have superpower. Are you from the future? Did you come into my sister’s body from the post-apocalyptic era? Why my sister’s body? Couldn’t you go back into your own body?” Dong Lijia had so many questions entangling together in his mind.
“Hm?” Lin Wenwen raised her eyes and looked at him as she said, “Didn’t I tell you that I’m from the future last night? Oh, I only told you about the apocalypse that’ll happen in three months.”
Realizing that she didn’t tell him everything last night, Lin Wenwen continued, “Yes, I’m from 2024. I didn’t come back voluntarily, neither did I invade your sister’s body. She brought me back somehow. Don’t think that I want to be here!”
After saying that, she gave Dong Lijia a glare, then lowered her head to continue looking at her phone screen.
Dong Lijia slightly widened his eyes, staring at her. A short while later, he stood up and said, “I still don’t believe you. I’ll believe what you said if you let my sister talk to me.”
Lin Wenwen waved at him as she clicked her tongue and said, “I knew you won’t believe me so easily. Do whatever you want. Don’t forget to lend me money. Lend me as much as you have. Don’t save your money. In three months, money will become useless.”
She needed money to order a batch of fresh vegetables and fruits from the current season.
“If I lend you money, how are you gonna pay me back?” Dong Lijia asked. He was going to say ‘why should I lend you money’, but on a second thought, he felt that letting Lin Wenwen owe him a favor might not be a bad thing. After all, if what she said was real, money would become useless paper in three months.
“What? You want me to pay you back? I was brought here by your sister for no reason, and I was required to do all kinds of things for her, including losing weight. Doesn’t your sister owe it to me? I told you about the apocalypse. The other people don’t even have the chance to pay for this kind of information, yet you want me to pay you? Seriously?” What the boy said infuriated Lin Wenwen. In a good way, she asked to borrow money from him, but in fact, she was asking him for compensation. However, the boy actually wanted her to pay him back.
“Eh… eh… No, no, you don’t need to pay me back…” Hearing her yell, Dong Lijia was a little confused. The completely strange look on his sister’s face made him feel extremely bizarre.
In the past second, Lin Wenwen had rushed up to him and grasped his collar. Now, on hearing what he said, she relaxed her grip and clapped her hands. Then, she grabbed her key and cellphone, put on earplugs, and went out to look for a place for jogging.
She went down to the living room and saw a group of bodyguards in black suits standing in two straight lines that extended from the stairs to the door. Was Dong Xinxinx’s family rich or in the mob? A huge group of bodyguards standing in front of her like that wasn’t something pleasant to be seen so early in the morning.
Lin Wenwen came downstairs. Standing in front of her was the muscular elderly man that she had seen last night. The man nodded at her slightly and said, “Miss. Dong, would you like some breakfast?”
“What? Oh… not yet. I’ll eat after jogging,” Lin Wenwen rubbed her chubby face and said to the butler.
“Jogging?” The butler’s face froze with surprise once she let out that word. The bodyguards turned to give her a glance. Realizing how inappropriate that was, they all hurriedly turned their heads back to look straight ahead.
What was happening? Miss. Dong actually said that she was going to jog! She wasn’t even willing to walk for a hundred meters, yet she was suddenly going to jog! Was that another weight-loss battle?
With composure, Lin Wenwen walked through the pathway with the bodyguards over six feet on both sides. Somehow, she felt that she herself was so short. Dong Xinxin was short indeed.
As she walked out of the door, the butler instantly gave a few bodyguards a hand signal, following which, six bodyguards quickly stepped out of line and followed Lin Wenwen out.
At that moment, Dong Lijia had come downstairs as well. He looked around, then asked, “Has she… Has Xinxin gone out?”
The butler immediately nodded at him and said, “Yes, she’s going to… jog.”
Dong Lijia thought for a moment and then said, “Let her do what she wants. I have something to talk to you later.”
Lin Wenwen walked out of the mansion and into the front yard. While walking, she started stretching her body. She planned to get familiar with the place first and then look for a suitable area for jogging.
She knew that a mansion like that was probably equipped with a gym, but she preferred jogging outside so she could enjoy the fresh air.
Last night when she came here by car, she had noticed how large the courtyard of this luxurious mansion was. In the front yard were well-manicured plants. Between the front gate and the house was an exquisite fountain statue.
Lin Wenwen walked to the backyard from the front yard. Quite some trees were planted in the backyard, so the view there wasn’t as wide as that in the front yard. However, the air in the backyard was great.
She stopped moving and took a deep breath. No matter how many times she breathed, she could always feel how different the air was from the air in the post-apocalyptic era. Maybe it wasn’t the actual difference; maybe it was just because of her mindset.
After making a tour in the mansion slowly, Lin Wenwen started walking quickly. She said she was going to jog, but she didn’t start doing that right away. She needed to adjust her body before she could run. Otherwise, she would be exhausted soon after she started.
She walked in the backyard in big steps while swinging her arms. A few bodyguards followed behind her and kept a distance from her. Lin Wenwen surely knew they were there, but pretended she didn’t. After circling around the house twice, she started gasping for air. She adjusted her breath and pressed her lips as she kept moving faster and faster.
