chapter 50

“Really? You really agree?” Ai Changhuan was relieved to hear what Yang Anxin said, but she still kept holding her hands lest she ran away.

“It’s true. Come on, I won’t regret it.” Yang Anxin promised seriously, and she even quietly clenched her fist.

“Well, that would be great! I’m so exhausted.” Loosening her grip, Ai Changhuan immediately sat on the sofa. “I don’t mean that all the men are superficial, but it is undeniable that men can’t resist beautiful things. Otherwise, why were there so many beauties in the ancient times who were said to bring calamity to their countries and the people? We don’t need to attract others. Only attracting our husbands is enough.”

Once Yang Anxin made up her mind, she would not give it up easily. After taking a deep breath, she asked Ai Changhuan what plans she had and what kind of dance she was going to perform.

Ai responded, “Don’t hurry to decide what we dance. Take it easy. There is still time. The first step we need to do is to take exercise and make our body more beautiful.

“Exercise? How?” Yang Anxin was puzzled.

“First of all, you need to reduce the fat on your belly, and make it flat.” In fact, Ai Changhuan was fairly thin. And when Lu Zhanke stayed at hospital, she took care of him all day long. Therefore, she became thinner than before. As for her, there was no need to lose any weight. So, this physical plan, of course, was directed at Yang Anxin.

Although her figure was well maintained, after all, she was in her thirties and not so well as young people.

“Recently, there is a very popular weight loss video on the Internet, that is, Zheng Duoyan’s aerobic weight loss exercise. As long as you exercise for half an hour every day, the fat on your body will become tighter, and your body shape will be improved and looks better.” Ai Changhuan had prepared in advance, and downloaded the video. She showed it to Yang Anxin with iPad.

Yang An could not help hesitating when she saw the exercise, “This … this …”

It would be a little embarrassing to do it by herself alone, not to mention that her children were at home.

Ai Changhuan knew Yang Anxin must be shy once again, so she patted her shoulder and said, “Anxin, if you can’t overcome this, how can you dance in front of the whole group?”

Yang Anxin bit her lip with a flash of struggle in her eyes.

Ai Changhuan spurred her again, “Since we have to do it, we must try our best. Do you agree? It is a piece of cake. I believe you can make it.”

After being brainwashed by Ai Changhuan, Yang Anxin slowly abandoned her shyness and overcame psychological barriers, thus she insisted on exercising for half an hour every day.

When she finished the exercise for the first day, Yang Anxin could hardly walk, because her legs were too sour. However, she had to admit that the it had an obvious effect. Only after one week, she could feel that her clothes became looser and she became more energetic, and even her back could stretch well.

As for the progress of Yang Anxin, Ai Changhuan felt very satisfied. Then she gave Yang Anxin a weight loss meal, stipulating what and how much she was supposed to eat every day.

Fortunately, it was Yang Anxin’s strong willpower that she overcame these difficulties.

Later, Ai Changhuan began to choose dances. Because Lu Zhanke stipulated that the dances could not be too hot and open, so they could only choose the beautiful and gentle ones. Also considering Yang Anxin’s lacking dance foundation, she thought ballet could not be the option, and they picked the peacock dance. Without doubt¸ the leading dancer was Ai Changhuan, and she was in charge of all those difficult moves while Yang Anxin’s part was relatively easy.

Though those moves were just like a piece of cake for Ai Changhuan, Yang Anxin still struggled with them. During the rehearsal, there were several times when she was on the edge of quitting. Ai Changhuan preserved in encouraging her and cheering her up.

For the confidentiality of the show, Ai Changhuan did not tell Lu Zhanke what she planned to dance. Every time Lu returned home, Ai Changhuan had already rehearsed, cooking in the kitchen, and her face streaming with sweat.

Seeing her flushed face, Lu Zhanke could not help asking, “What’s going on? Are you drunk?”

Ai Changhuan spared him a sharp glance, groaning some words in her mind: “it was all for you! Why did you say this cynical remark?”

Lu Zhanke felt her unfriendly attitude, touching the tip of his nose, then asked, “How is the rehearsal? Is there anything I can help?”

Ai Changhuan replied disdainfully, “What? Do you want to know the progress? But I don’t want to tell you.”

Lu Zhanke shrugged, “I just care about you, worrying that maybe you encounter some difficulties.”

Ai Changhuan thought for a while and she immediately answered, “Why don’t you tell me what programs the group of military hospital have prepared, so that I might as well prepare for it.”

Lu Zhanke turned to look at her sly smile, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of his mouth as well, “Why? Do you have some pressure?”

“Huh, will I be afraid of them?” Ai Changhuan went on cooking. “I just want to know my enemy and myself. If you don’ t want to tell me, that’ s fine.”

Lu Zhanke stood behind her and said, “It’s not because I don’t want to tell you, but that I don’t know, either. All these matters are under the control of Pei. You had better ask him by yourself.”

Ai Changhuan didn’t let Pei Mu know that Yang Anxin would dance together with her. She only said that there would be a mysterious friend to help her. As for Pei Xiaopang, she had definitely bought him over.

“You are so stupid. If I ask him by myself, how embarrassing it will be! It also seems that I am so unconfident. So, the reason why I ask you is letting you ask Pei Mu. This is called using a different way to solve the problem.”

Lu Zhanke held Ai Changhuan’s waist with one hand, his chin resting on her shoulder, and smiled gently, “Do you want me to peep at the program schedule?”

Ai Chang shrugged and motioned him to let her go, “Just tell me whether you go or not.”

Lu sighed helplessly and said, “My dear, I have no reason to disobey you. You can rest assured that I will get it in the afternoon and I promise that Pei Mu will not notice that.”

“Well, that is what a husband should do.” Ai Changhuan smiled contentedly. In order to comfort Lu Zhanke who was going to do something covertly in the afternoon, she was particularly solicitous to him, and even contributed a kiss.

Lu Zhanke went to work elatedly, but he betrayed his wife as soon as he arrived at the instructor’s office.

“Pei, show me the schedule.”

“Well? Why are you suddenly concerned about this?” Pei Mu was quite surprised.

“My wife wanted to have a look, and said she wanted to know her enemy.” Lu Zhanke even repeated the original words of Ai Changhuan.

Of course, Pei Mu had no reason to refuse his request. Although it was a sodality,

its subtext also meant to compete with others. If Ai Changhuan’s program was truly outstanding, then their troops also felt honored.

Then Pei Mu presented the program schedule, and Lu Zhanke looked at the paper

in a poised way, not forgetting to warn Pei, “Don’t let Chang Huan know about this, the girl is bashful.”

Pei showed him that he understood.

When back home at night, Ai Changhuan couldn’t wait to ask him, “How? Did you see it?”

“Shh!” Lu Zhanke took a silent gesture seriously, and pretended to close the door, “Don’t let Pei see.”

Ai Changhuan nodded, then the couple sneaked into the room.

Lu Zhanke took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, “It has too many shows and I can’t remember them all, so I copied it and brought it back.”

Ai Changhuan didn’t expect that there should be a copy of the schedule, in fact, in her mind, the best situation was that Lu Zhanke could convey some information to her. She was immediately nervous and excited, “So … have you been discovered?”

Lu Zhanke pondered for a moment, and said, “Fortunately, I went away before others discovered.”

“How? what happened?” Ai Changhuan followed up.

Then Lu Zhanke started making up his story again, “I didn’t expect that Pei was so meticulous. He set several passwords, which were all extremely complicated. It was I who spared no effort to decipher successfully. And I almost got caught when I copied it, but fortunately I moved fast. So, finally I made it. ”

“Wow …” It sounded so fantastic and Ai Changhuan couldn’t help but believe them all! Her expression gradually became solemn, as if she were not holding a schedule of entertainment programs, but a state-level secret.

She was completely fooled by Lu Zhanke’s tricks. She even didn’t think twice about it. There was no need for Pei Mu to keep a trifle in cipher, let alone the fact that this was just a program schedule and he was so busy.

After taking advantage of it, Lu Zhanke acted as if he were innocent. “I have worked so hard, is there anything to reward me?”

Ai Changhuan carefully folded the paper and said, “Yes, I prepared a fancy dinner for you.”
