Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 15 Temptation

Having been in the United States for so many years, Jian Heng has long understood that here is different from the country. It can be said to be demeanor if you shrink back in the country, but you can be bullied here. It is said on the Internet that people will not stand firm if they are not hard-working, which is especially applicable in American society. .

  Jian Heng can go from a few hundred dollars in his pocket to a middle-class income for a year, but he does not rely on modesty, but relies on the brain on his shoulders and the tenacity of not admitting defeat.

  After waking up, he cooked a little meal for himself, filled his stomach, and rested for two hours. Jian Heng tidied up and prepared to go to the gym routinely to complete his three-times-a-week fitness plan.

   Fitness is a very common sport in the United States. Many white-collar workers will choose a fixed time every week to go to the gym to burn off the fat or negative emotions accumulated on their bodies for a week.

At the beginning, Jian Heng went to the gym to exercise his body so that he could dress up as a successful "manager" in the United States to win the trust of domestic customers. Later, he gradually fell in love with this activity. Three times a week, spend two hours each time going to the gym to release yourself.

  Sometimes it is very hard, or when you are depressed, you will go to the gym and sweat all over your body, so fitness can be regarded as a way for Jian Heng to reduce stress.

   Originally, Jian Heng wanted to develop a beautiful body, even if he could not reach a third of Schwarzenegger or Ronnie Coleman's figure, he still had to develop a half Ronaldo.

  But Jian Heng soon gave up, because wanting to achieve the effect of the "Mr. Bodybuilder" on the poster requires not only super hard training, but more importantly, strict diet control, which Jian Heng can't accept.

   Think about it, if you have money in your pocket, you can’t eat and drink well. You can only eat some boiled chicken breasts, boiled cabbage and so on. In addition to this, I have to constantly supplement this and that. It's just a bunch of bland things. It's not because I have a natural Chinese stomach!

So this kind of idea was just swept into the garbage dump by Jian Heng's brain cells after Jian Heng learned some basic fitness knowledge, and adjusted his fitness goal realistically to maintain body fat at 10% Levels from six to eighteen.

When Jian Heng was packing his gym bag, he saw his gray rabbit Erhu dragging a carrot that was almost as big as his body, jumping up the escape ladder from the ground like a wisp of gray smoke. You know that you are ready to go out for a stroll with the bear look!

  The tricky little thing ran so fast, almost as soon as Jian Heng was stunned, the two tigers ran away without a trace.

  Standing at the window, Jian Heng turned his head and looked around, and soon saw the window of the old Caucasian woman who was quarreling in the morning, chewing carrots while looking into the window of her house.

  Jian Heng didn't think too much, and yelled in Erhu's direction: "What are you running around for?"

  Hearing Jian Heng's roar, there was a flash of light smoke, and soon Erhu came back to Jian Heng very tactfully.

Seeing this guy come back, Jian Heng grabbed his hands and entered the house. Since the dog that bit him in the morning gave him a face, and now he is so obedient, he came back with a roar, so Jian Heng is very polite to Er Hu. : "Stay at home honestly."

   Not only did he speak well, but he also stroked Erhu's hair gently.

When Jian Heng was gently stroking the hair on Erhu's body, he was suddenly a little stunned, because there was a faint feeling of bulges on his fingers, and he thought it was something on Erhu's body. Tumors, or some kind of disease, subconsciously tried a few times with his fingers, and then pried off the hair on Erhu's body. Only then did Jian Heng realize that Erhu's body was neither sick nor had some kind of tumor. With muscle!

Although there is no obvious bodybuilder's skinny feeling, the muscles of the entire back, including the hind legs, obviously have a different kind of "charged feeling" and a different kind of elasticity. For Jane who has been exercising For Heng, this 'feeling of energy' is too familiar, it is completely a state of muscle congestion. No wonder he was able to bite Tai Ritian's neck tightly!

   While stroking the two tigers, Jian Heng began to think.

It is obviously impossible for a rabbit that is about to die to develop such a healthy body in such a short period of time, so the only possibility is that there is one or several simultaneous effects in the water that feeds the rabbits. Such a change! Jian Heng does not lack this kind of IQ!

Erhu was a little confused at this time. It didn't know what illness its master had suffered today. It turned out that even if there was a little close contact, most of them were Jian Heng's hands and Erhu's ears. Today Jian Heng went from head to toe. Wei touched Erhu like this, which made Erhu feel a little 'flattered', so he began to squirm his three-petal mouth and lick Jian Heng's fingers, flattering him in return.

  Er Hu's wet tongue touched Jian Heng's little finger, which immediately woke Jian Heng from his thoughts.

Stretching out his hand to wipe Erhu's saliva on Erhu's smooth fur, Jian Heng held Erhu by his ears and locked Erhu back into the cage. He was about to lock the door, but after a second he threw another ten A carrot went in, and then the cage door was locked with a click.

   After shutting down Erhu, Jian Heng entered the space and took out the notes on feeding Erhu, and found the water condition of the last time Erhu was fed. He took the notebook and waited quietly for the big ball to turn to that angle.

   After waiting for about ten minutes, when Jian Heng appeared in the room again, Jian Heng had an extra glass of water in his hand.

Holding the cup in his hand, Jian Heng hesitated here for a while. For a person who is about to have no worries about food and clothing and is very cautious, Jian Heng doesn't want to take this risk too much. With the Wanmei knife in hand, life will be settled for the rest of my life.

  Although there are troublesome couples testing the waters first, who can guarantee whether this thing will have any sequelae after one or two years, or ten or eight years? Other people's children can't die, but my own life is only one!

However, as a bodybuilder, it is really difficult to be tempted by low-end muscles. Think about lightly flicking the clothes, and the eight-pack of strong abdominal muscles, combined with the strip-shaped abdominal muscles, are tightly coiled in the abdomen. How angry.

   Or even more domineering, with muscles like the idol Bruce Lee! Not only has powerful strength but also has unparalleled speed.

While thinking, Jian Heng's face was constantly changing, and the two consciousnesses in his mind were in a fierce struggle: the consciousness with sharp horns hinted: "Go ahead, train your muscles, flirting and revealing from time to time." , Don’t you want to blind the eyes of all kinds of girls in New York, and come down several times in the name of teaching and exercising, and don’t let our brothers get whatever they want? The one holding the circle said: "Give it up, accept it when you see a deal, take the money and go home to be your rich man, how safe you are, why take this risk."

  Under the cross attack of two kinds of consciousness, Jian Heng held the cup and thought about it for five or six minutes, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Fuck, the **** bird is facing up, and the immortal is turning over!"

   After finishing speaking, he drank the water in the glass, wiped his mouth, put on his gym bag, and walked towards the gym with a sense of determination, like a hero about to go to the guillotine.

  The gym where Jian Heng works out is not far from where he lives, and it takes less than fifteen minutes to walk two blocks away.

When I arrived at the gym, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. Although there were not as many people coming to the gym as in the evening, there were already quite a few people. Even after trying a few commonly used cabinets in the changing room, they were all locked. In this way, Jian Heng felt a little depressed.

"Hi!"

   Just as Jian Heng walked to the front of the next cabinet and just opened the cabinet door, someone next to him greeted Jian Heng.

"Hi!"

  Jian Heng responded with a smile on his face. A black boy, sweaty all over, looked like he had just finished training.

  Jian Heng didn't know him. Although he worked out in a gym, Jian Heng didn't even remember the guy's name except for a hi and a few small talk when they met.

I have to say that Laomei is very good. When there is eye contact, no matter whether you recognize him or not, you will often give the other person a smile, or chat a few insignificant words, instead of meeting like most of us Chinese. , I didn't recognize him and turned my head. This old American habit Jian Heng thinks that we Chinese should learn from it, just like now, the black guy chatted with Jian Heng about the weather in New York while changing his clothes.
