A Chance To Become An Adonis

Chapter 106: The Bickering Duo

Chapter 106: The Bickering Duo

While Elder Wu is forced to listen to Lu Chen's grandfather ranting about his grandson, Lu Chen looks at his body in the bathroom. The moment he took off his shirt, he notices a large number of bruises on his chest. From top to bottom, his entire body is cover in black and blue.

Instead of bending over from the pain, Lu Chen was brooding. Should I train at least 4 hours a day? Lu Chen is thinking about increasing the time by twice the amount to train. But he shook his head.

Maybe four hours is not enough. With my slow growth, I should make it eight hours a day instead. Feeling the pain, Lu Chen feels he needs to work harder to become as sturdy as iron.

Elder Wu considers Lu Chen to be a genius. But Lu Chen never felt that way about himself. He thought he's an average rookie.

As Lu Chen took his shower, he didn't expect the cold water splashing onto his body would make the pain amplify like crazy. But the pain was overshadowed by his thoughts.  Even if I have a great teacher teaching me, that doesn't mean that I will be the best.

His low-self esteem is increasing his drive to become stronger.

...

Lu Chen walks downstairs to see Lu Xiaotong and Zhang Wenling, acting like a lovey-dovey couple. Then he turns to his two brothers, trying to ignore the scene as they eat.

"How long have the two of them been at it?" He takes the seat next to Lu Aotian and asks, pointing at his parents.

"Ten minutes." Lu Aotian said, sipping on his tea as he reads the newspaper. The display of dog-food in front of him is a daily occurrence. So Lu Aotian built a resistance to it.

On the other hand, Lu Hao is ready to throw up. He shouts at them, "Can you guys stop?! Aren't you guys tired of doing this every day?" Unlike Lu Aotian, Lu Hao had no resistance towards their action.

"Idiot son of mine, of course, we cant get tired of it. When you find someone you truly love, then every day is filled with happiness. Right, Ling Ling?" Lu Xiaotong said as he nestles his face into his wife's neck.

"He's right, Xiao Hao." Zhang Wenling agrees as she kisses Lu Xiaotong. The pink space had just grown pinker. The three children want to just jump out of the window and escape the scene.

Before it went to no return, Zhang Wenling turns to Lu Chen, " Xiao Chen, uncle Wu told me about your training. He asked me to prepare a special meal for you."

When Lu Chen heard how Elder Wu is meticulous in his training, he felt thankful for his care. He also had to thanks his Lao Ma for cooking it, " Thanks, Lao Ma."

"No probl- Hey! That tickles!" Zhang was about to say it was fine. However, Lu Xiaotong went in and cuddles into her more before she could.

Lu Chen couldn't see the pink space across from him, as he was too focused on what Elder Wu prepared for him. He picks up the lid to see the meal:

Two fillets of salmon, a bunch of string beans with bell peppers, and a large bowl of brown rice were under the lid. Each ingredient was chosen to build muscle and replenish his energy, and he had one thing on his mind.

I have to work harder. 

Lu Hao didn't hear about Lu Chen working out. He looks at him in confusion, "When did you start working out?"

"Just started today." Lu Chen's words came out as gibberish as Lu Chen had bell peppers stuffed in his mouth.

"Speak after you swallow your food. Disgusting." Lu Hao looks at his brother in disgust after seeing the pile of crushed mush inside his mouth.

Lu Chen swallows the food in his mouth and squints his eyes, "I don't want to hear that from you." If he has no manners, then Lu Hao is the king.

Ignoring what Lu Chen said, Lu Hao retorts, “I'm the definition of perfection. How could I have a single spec of disgust in my body?”

“How about narcissism?” Lu Chen retorted

“Hmph, your just jealous that I’m cooler than you.”

“Idiot.”

“Mophead.”

“Narcissistic bastard,”

“Twig”
