But as time went on, she clearly felt her legs starting to lose control, trembling severely.
"Qianqian, hold on, it's almost three minutes," Director Wang encouraged her as she struggled to endure.
"Go Aunt Xia!" Tongtong cheered from behind.
However, Xia Qianqian could no longer hold on. "I can't do it anymore!" she exclaimed, dropping her hands, standing up, and wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"I really didn't expect this movement to look so easy, but it's so difficult to actually do. Director Wang, I feel like I've been standing for a long time, how is it only three minutes?"
"Yes, no more, no less, exactly three minutes. You're trembling just standing there, sit down and rest!" Director Wang quickly brought her a stool.
"Thank you!" Xia Qianqian was indeed exhausted and immediately sat down, rubbing her thighs while looking at Liu Yifeng with admiration.
"You started practicing the horse stance earlier than me, but you don't seem to feel anything at all, as if practicing the horse stance is an easy task. But I can only hold on for three minutes at most, and compared to you, I feel like a cripple."
"You're just starting. Being able to hold on for three minutes is already very good. When I first started learning the horse stance, I was similar to you. The reason I can persist for so long now is because I persist every day," Liu Yifeng said with a smile.
Even so, Xia Qianqian still felt that Liu Yifeng's physical fitness was beyond that of an ordinary person.
"Aunt Xia, will you train Dahei and Dabai with me?" Tongtong, afraid Xia Qianqian would be bored, found something for her to do.
Xia Qianqian was very happy to do this and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, but I'm afraid they won't listen to me."
"No, with me here, they'll listen to whatever you say," Tongtong patted his chest confidently.
"Then how should I train them? How do you usually train them?" Xia Qianqian was eager to try. This was a good opportunity to learn some experience, and she could use it on her own dog later, raising a genius dog, she thought to herself.
Tongtong replied, "I usually train their physical fitness and obedience."
"Their obedience seems to be quite good, do they still need training?" Xia Qianqian asked curiously.
"Training is like eating. You need to train every day to form muscle memory," Tongtong explained.
After speaking, he called out to Dahei and Dabai. The two dogs playing immediately ran to his side. Tongtong petted their heads and said, "Aunt Xia will train you today, so you must obey her commands, understand?"
"Woof!" Dahei and Dabai barked in unison, indicating they understood, and then walked up to Xia Qianqian, looking up at her. Xia Qianqian gave several commands, and both dogs complied. Later, she took the frisbee handed to her by Tongtong, threw it into the air, and let Dahei and Dabai catch it. This not only exercised Dahei and Dabai's physical fitness but also allowed them to experience the fun of playing. This way, they wouldn't resist the training. In their eyes, this was their owner playing with them.
Just as Tongtong and Xia Qian were busy training Dahei and Dabai, Liu Yifeng reached his limit with the horse stance and could no longer endure it, thus ending the training. Director Wang, who had been timing Liu Yifeng, couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up when he saw he had lasted thirty-two minutes. "Impressive!"
"This is just a small effort, not worth mentioning!" Liu Yifeng smiled innocently. He never thought of himself as remarkable, at most he knew a little martial arts. Any disciple from the Shaolin Temple, if picked at random, would be much stronger than him.
"You father and son are both extraordinary! One is intelligent, the other is skilled in martial arts, you are simply the ultimate father-son duo!" Director Wang continued to praise without reservation. Liu Yifeng, being a modest person, felt quite embarrassed by the praise. "Director Wang, you are filming in the courtyard. I will go and prepare dinner for you. I bought a lot of seafood from the supermarket, including shrimp, fish, and snails. You don't have any dietary restrictions, do you?" he asked, concerned.
"How did you know I love these things? To be honest, I was planning to find some friends to have a seafood feast with when I had time! I didn't expect you to arrange it for us today. However, these things are not cheap. We had a very rich meal yesterday noon, and today you're spending so much again, it makes us feel a bit embarrassed. How about I give you five hundred yuan, and consider today's meal on me, okay?" With that, he prepared to take out his wallet.
"How can this be? You are eating at my house, how can I let you pay? How can I face anyone if this gets out?" Liu Yifeng reached out to stop him.
"But..." Director Wang still felt a little uneasy. Liu Yifeng knew that Director Wang didn't like owing favors, so he said, "Didn't you say yesterday that you went to the show and treated my son and me to something? I remember it clearly. If you give me money now, how can I have the cheek to ask you to treat me later?" Director Wang then stopped reaching for his wallet. "Alright, it's settled then."
After that, Liu Yifeng walked over to Xia Qianqian. "Qianqian, are you allergic to seafood?"
"No allergies, no allergies. I just heard you and Director Wang talking about a seafood feast, so I'm in for a treat. But can you manage alone? Do you need help?" Xia Qianqian asked.
Liu Yifeng shook his head. "No, no, I can manage by myself." With that, he headed to the kitchen. The seafood had been kept in water overnight, and it only needed to be checked and washed, no special cleaning required.
Meanwhile, Lu Fei arrived at Chen Xinyue's house and saw the printer, which was completely assembled incorrectly. He finally understood why she couldn't assemble it. It would be a miracle if it could be assembled correctly in that state. So, he took all the parts apart again and, following the instructions, reassembled them step by step.
"Some of these parts look similar, but their functions are different. Once they are installed incorrectly, you won't be able to proceed to the next step," Lu Fei said while his hands were busy.
Chen Xinyue felt a bit embarrassed. "I knew something was wrong, that's why I couldn't assemble it. It turns out I installed the wrong parts. It's a good thing you came. Otherwise, how would I know that was the reason? I'm really sorry to have troubled you to come all this way."
"It's alright, I was nearby anyway. Okay, see if it works now." Lu Fei put down his tools.
Chen Xinyue was surprised. "So fast? It hasn't even been ten minutes."
Lu Fei smiled. "It's not difficult to assemble, you just installed the parts incorrectly at the beginning. Try it quickly." So, Chen Xinyue took a piece of A4 paper, placed it in the printer, and after a simple operation, lines of text appeared on the paper. This made her extremely delighted. "It works! Thank you!"
"You're welcome. If you have any other installation issues in the future, just call me. Since I've fixed it for you, I won't disturb your work!" With that, he was about to leave.
Chen Xinyue quickly stopped him. "Lu Fei, I get busy very quickly. If you have nothing to do, please wait for me, and I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"
"I didn't do much to help, so don't trouble yourself," Lu Fei said. But Chen Xinyue didn't like owing favors and insisted that Lu Fei not leave. Reluctantly, Lu Fei agreed, and only then did Chen Xinyue happily go about her work.
