Morning exercise?
"Where are you going for morning exercise?"
Ma Lei asked cautiously.
"Just for a run, why are you so nervous?"
Ma Lei awkwardly laughed and answered truthfully: "I'm afraid you'll break the students down. If they run with you, they might get seriously discouraged."
Nian Shutong glanced at Ma Lei, turned back, and said, "You really are a good teacher. I wasn't planning on going, but since you've so warmly invited me to train with them, I guess I'll make a trip."
Nian Shutong's steps quickened, leaving Ma Lei a step slower, constantly recalling what he had just said.
"Did I invite you?"
Ma Lei, confused, caught up with Nian Shutong and asked puzzledly, "Did I invite you?"
"Didn't you? Don't worry, you don't have to make it explicit, but as a teacher inspiring a student's competitive spirit, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will let them know this."
Ma Lei's steps slowed again, smiling awkwardly as he watched Nian Shutong's back.
