Chapter 187 Someone wants to see you
Just as Huang Xu was working out in the gym, in the Girls' Generation apartment in Cheongdam-dong.

Kim Taeyeon, who had just returned, looked at Sunny lying on the sofa and looked very surprised.

"Hey, what kind of wind is that today? It blew our little sun back."

"You're back, Taigu. What delicious food did you bring?"

Sunny didn't react at all to Kim Taeyeon's teasing tone, but stared at the food box in her hand.

She had just had lunch today. Although she had been lying in the dormitory for the whole afternoon without any activity, she was already very hungry.

And because of yesterday's exercise, she felt exhausted and had no desire to go buy anything.

Just when she was thinking about how to solve the dinner problem today, she saw Kim Taeyeon coming back with food. This made her attention directly focused on the food she brought back, and she had no intention of fighting back at her teasing.

Otherwise, with Kim Taeyeon's poor fighting skills, she would have been defeated by me long ago.

Kim Taeyeon looked at Sunny's abnormal appearance and became even more curious.

Ever since Sunny and Huang Xu confirmed their relationship, Sunny rarely returns to the dormitory, unless it is the promotion period or there are other activities.

Otherwise, I live with Huang Xu most of the time.

And it has become even more obvious since she moved to Longshan Base.

Why did she come back to the dormitory today?

She doesn't have any schedule tomorrow?
Logically speaking, shouldn’t it be in Longshan’s apartment?
Did something happen?
Did she have a fight with Huang Xu?

Thinking of this, she looked at Sunny with concern, trying to find something from her face.

But after observing her for a long time, her complexion seemed to have no changes except that it became more rosy?

And seeing that she was enjoying the dinner she brought back, she didn't seem sad at all.

No, this is my dinner.

By the time Kim Taeyeon reacted, Sunny had started to enjoy the dinner that Kim Taeyeon brought back, which made Kim Taeyeon feel a little distressed.

It’s not that this dinner is worth much.

For the current members of Girls' Generation, even the one with the lowest popularity and the least activities has basically achieved financial freedom.

What made her sad was that most of the Jeonju bibimbap that she had traveled a long way to buy was eaten by Sunny.

You have to know that she brought this back from Jeonju while attending an event.

Before she even started eating, Sunny had already eaten a lot of it, which made her no longer bother to guess why Sunny came back to the dormitory.

He walked up and snatched the bibimbap from Sunny's mouth.

"Oh, this is what I brought back from Jeonju, you..."

"Okay, isn't it just bibimbap?"

Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon's anxious look, but was not angry. Instead, she pointed directly at the refrigerator.

"There are Chinese delicacies made by Huang Xu in the refrigerator. Take a look and see if there is anything you want to eat?"

"Delicious food made by Huang Xu?"

Kim Taeyeon followed Sunny's finger and looked directly at the refrigerator in the dormitory with shining eyes.

As someone who has tried the food made by Huang Xu, she is quite impressed by his cooking skills.

There is no way. Compared with the ever-changing Chinese cuisine, Korean cooking methods and ingredients are really lacking.

Therefore, the Chinese delicacies made by Huang Xu have basically conquered several members of Girls' Generation.

Although he often asked Sunny to bring back a lot of Chinese food he made, there were too many people in their group.

Every time Sunny brought back a big box of things, it would not last for more than a few days before being divided up by several people.

Even those who often do not live in the dormitory will go back to the dormitory after receiving the news of delicious food to taste the food made by Huang Xu.

Thinking of this, Kim Taeyeon pushed the bibimbap in her hand directly to Sunny, and then ran happily to the refrigerator.

You can eat Jeonju bibimbap anytime, and there are many authentic Jeonju bibimbap restaurants in Seoul. But the food made by Huang Xu is not available at any time.

So Kim Taeyeon happily opened the refrigerator and happily looked for her favorite food in the freezer.

However, while searching for delicious food, her curiosity was aroused again.

"Sunny, is this all the food you brought this time?"

"What? Too little?"

"No, it's just a little different from before."

Seeing Sunny's somewhat unfriendly tone, Kim Taeyeon hurriedly explained.

She didn't complain that Sunny brought back fewer delicacies this time, but compared to before, when Sunny brought back the delicacies made by Huang Xu, it was basically a big box full of food that could fill up their refrigerator.

In order to store the delicious food that Sunny brought back, they even emptied the freezer of the refrigerator.

But this time when Sunny came back, she brought back only a few delicious foods. The food in the freezer only occupied two small drawers.

This made Kim Taeyeon a little strange, and she looked at Sunny curiously.

"Sunny? Did something happen between you and Huang Xu?"

"No?"

Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon in surprise, not quite understanding why Kim Taeyeon had such an idea.

"Then why did you come back so suddenly? You don't have any plans for tomorrow, and the food you brought back this time is not as much as before. It's obvious that you came back on short notice?"

"So, did you guys have a fight?"

"We didn't argue."

"Really? I don't believe it."

"Yeah~~"

Hearing Kim Taeyeon's teasing tone, Sunny stood up immediately and wanted to use force to let Kim Taeyeon know the price of teasing her.

But as soon as she stood up and exerted force, she felt a pain in the place where she was rubbed yesterday, and fell back on the sofa.

When Jin Taiyan saw this situation, she hurried forward and asked with concern:

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, it's fine."

Although Sunny was very touched by Kim Taeyeon's concern, she had no way to tell her the reason.

After all, what happened to me was really too embarrassing.

Kim Taeyeon looked at Sunny's waving of denial and her somewhat shy appearance, and seemed to remember something at this moment.

It seemed that this kind of thing had happened to Sunny before, so he whispered to Sunny tentatively:
"Can't bear it again?"

"No?"

"alright, I got it."

Although Sunny tried her best to deny it, Kim Taeyeon had already confirmed her guess from her expression.

So despite Sunny's strong denials, he looked directly into Sunny's eyes with curiosity.

"Is Huang Xu so strong? Can't you two withstand it?"

"Yeah~~~"

Sunny listened to Kim Taeyeon's question and became a little angry and embarrassed. She rushed towards her regardless of the pain in her body.

"Die, Taigu."

While Sunny and Kim Taeyeon were working hard, Huang Xu was also working hard in the gym.

At this time, Huang Xu, who had just got up, walked out of the squat rack, sat on the stool, and adjusted his breathing.

He was surrounded by fitness enthusiasts who were watching him adjust his breathing.

When he arrived at the gym just now, he was warmly welcomed by the fitness coach, who helped him warm up and asked him why he had not been there for a while.

Fortunately, he had just finished warming up when he saw his old acquaintance Kim Jong Kook appear here, which eased Huang Xu's embarrassment.

After chatting with Kim Jong Kook for a while and talking about his recent situation, he was encouraged by Kim Jong Kook to test his results in the three major items.

The full name of the three major events is actually the three major events of powerlifting, which are divided into bench press, deadlift and squat, and are the best reflection of a person's physical strength.

Although it cannot represent a person's overall physical quality, these three items are definitely relatively recognized items in the eyes of fitness enthusiasts.

Huang Xu hadn't been here for more than a month, so he naturally wanted to test his physical fitness to see if he had improved. So after warming up, Huang Xu started the test.

At the beginning, there were only Kim Jong Kook and his fitness coach around him, but after a while, his test had attracted the attention of some people. They either stood not far away or stopped exercising directly, waiting for Huang Xu's next test.

There is no way, first of all it is Kim Jong Kook’s fame.

As a popular variety show host, he is quite well-known in Korea.

And although he often goes to the gym to work out, he mostly shows up late at night or even in the early morning.

Now that he shows up so early, and Huang Xu is still taking tests in the three major powerlifting events here, he will naturally attract a lot of people's attention.

As mentioned before, although the three major items cannot represent a person's comprehensive physical fitness, they are definitely well-known test items among fitness enthusiasts, and naturally everyone understands what they represent.

Especially Huang Xu's thin body, he was able to push up nearly 140 kilograms when he was doing the bench press just now.

This weight is actually nothing. There are many fitness enthusiasts with heavy weights, and even now there is more than one person in the gym who can lift it.

But it depends on the person.

If Huang Xu was the type who was covered in muscles and had explosive dimensions, then they would naturally not pay attention to him. Even if they saw him, they would only complain in their hearts, "He's rubbish."

There is no way. When testing the three major events of powerlifting, although weight is the most important factor, there is another factor that is equally important.

That is the body weight of the bodybuilder.

In fact, the most correct standard for the three major events of powerlifting is not to calculate how much weight you lift, but to convert the weight into body weight and then calculate how many times your body weight you lift.

Generally speaking, if the total weight of the three major items can reach six times of one's own body weight, then this person is considered a senior fitness enthusiast with good results.

And if one can reach eight times of his own body weight, then this person is an absolute master and is among the top in the entire fitness circle.

Even within the circle, he is a well-known figure.

And if one can reach nine times of his own weight, then this person is a professional player.

Such people are already considered professional players and are generally only active in the professional fitness circle and are no longer civilian players.

The reason why Huang Xu is so attractive is that his result in the first bench press has reached twice his own weight, 140 kilograms.

As for the second item, the squat result, he also completed 185 kilograms, which is two and a half times his own weight.

Although there are people in the gym who can achieve this result, their figure and body shape are far different from Huang Xu's appearance.

From their appearance, one can tell that they are professional fitness people, with broad shoulders and big waists, and their weight is basically over 100 kilograms.

Huang Xu's appearance, however, looked no different from that of a normal person, probably about 140 to 150 meters tall at most.

Moreover, when he is not exerting any strength, although you can see some signs of fitness, his physique is just at the level of an average beginner.

But now he has only tested two items and has already reached nearly five times his own weight. It can be said that in their eyes, Huang Xu is already somewhat amazing.

Therefore, they are now observing to see what level Huang Xu can achieve in the last item.

Huang Xu was also a little nervous at this time.

He never thought that his physical fitness had reached its current level after several months of training.

At the same time, he couldn't help but be a little cautious about the result of the last item.

Kim Jong Kook, who was standing next to Huang Xu, saw that Huang Xu's fitness coach had already installed the barbell plates, so he reached out and patted Huang Xu's shoulders hard a few times.

"come on."

"Ah."

Huang Xu nodded, patted his hands that had just touched the anti-slip powder, and walked towards the barbell in front.

Since he had done sufficient warm-up, the weight of this deadlift did not start with an empty bar, but directly started with 100 kilograms.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he easily performed a set of five deadlifts as a warm-up for the deadlifts.

Then he gradually increased the weight. In just a few minutes, the weight of the barbell in front of him had reached two hundred kilograms.

But at this time, Huang Xu did not do it several times at once like he did during the warm-up just now.

He also started wearing protective gear around his waist and power belts on his hands for assistance.

There is no way. The barbell has reached this weight. Although it is still within Huang Xu's ability, deadlifting with this weight can easily injure the waist, so necessary protection is still needed.

As for the power belt on the hands, it is difficult for the fingers to hold on tightly due to the weight, and there is a risk of slipping when pulling up.

If you have a power belt, this risk can basically be avoided.

After seeing Huang Xu put down the barbell weighing 200 kilograms, Kim Jong Kook walked up to him and started asking questions.

"Will the weight continue to increase?"

"Well, add it."

Huang Xu felt that he still had some strength left when he pulled it up just now, so he nodded and said.

Kim Jong Kook quickly called the fitness coach to continue increasing the weight of the barbell, but then he also began to care about Huang Xu's physical condition.

After all, Huang Xu's current results in the three major items have reached more than seven times his own weight, which is already quite amazing.

So seeing that Huang Xu still wanted to continue the challenge, he asked with concern.

"Xiao Xu, how do you feel? Do you need a rest?"

"It's okay, Jong Kook, I'm fine now."

"That's good. If you feel uncomfortable, you must stop immediately."

"Understood. Thank you, Jong Kook."

Huang Xu first thanked Kim Jong Kook, and then went straight to the barbell.

Standing in front of the barbell, Huang Xu took a deep breath and then pulled up the barbell that weighed 220 kilograms in front of him.

As he successfully pulled it up, the people watching nearby burst into applause and congratulated Huang Xu.

There's no way. With Huang Xu's physique, it's really amazing and a little unexpected that he can lift such a heavy barbell.

Huang Xu then continued to increase the weight several times until the weight of the barbell reached an astonishing 250 kilograms, only then was he considered a failure.

But even so, his deadlift result reached 240 kilograms.

His total score in the three major events reached an astonishing 565 kilograms, which is eight times Huang's own weight.

That is to say, it has reached the limit that ordinary people can achieve.

You know, even for someone like Kim Jong Kook who spends all year round in the gym, his results in the three major items are only more than seven times.

Huang Xu achieved a result of eight times his own weight, which is a unique achievement in this gym.

Then, after completing the three major tests, he achieved remarkable results in the gym.

Even if you just sit there, people will stare at you.

Therefore, after taking a short rest, Huang Xu simply took a shower and followed Kim Jong Kook out of the gym.

However, they did not return to the apartment. Instead, they found a shop nearby and prepared to have some midnight snack together to make up for what they had consumed just now.

Until this time, seeing that there was no one else around, Huang Xu looked at Kim Jong Kook and asked:
"Brother Zhongguo, what do you want to talk to me about today?"

"Why, couldn't it be a coincidence?"

"Stop it, Jong Kook, you're not fit to lie."

Huang Xu looked at Kim Jong Kook's stubborn look and rolled his eyes at him.

As someone who has watched his variety shows for many years, and with the understanding he has gained since they met, Huang Xu has a certain understanding of Kim Jong Kook's living habits.

He usually goes to the gym late at night, early in the morning, or in the morning when there are few people, and rarely appears during this peak period.

And he appeared shortly after I entered the gym, so he must have something to talk to me about.

After hearing Huang Xu's words, Kim Jong Kook was stunned for a moment, then he stopped hiding it and spoke directly:
"Someone wants to see you."

"see me?"

Huang Xu was also a little surprised at this time. This was the second time Kim Jong Kook said this.

Last time, he asked me to go and help Ha Dongxun check out his barbecue restaurant and give him some suggestions.

The final result was that I made the suggestion and also obtained a 10% stake in their joint barbecue restaurant.

So who wants to see me now, and what’s the matter?
