138 I have to go now (Fifth update)

The next morning, Chen Xu finished his morning run, used his key to open the door, changed into a pair of slippers, took off his socks, and tossed them into the laundry basket on the balcony designated for socks.

Returning to the living room, he took off his shirt, picked up a pale blue towel hanging on the wall, and wiped the sweat from his body. As he walked to the bedroom door, he glanced inside. Seeing Yang Jinxia was already up, he asked, "How come you're up so early today?"

She tended to be a heavy sleeper; usually, she would sleep until about nine o'clock.

Now it was just after seven, and she was already up, fully dressed, her hair combed, makeup done.

She was sitting on a chair in front of the bed on the phone. When he pushed the door open, she said to the person on the line, "I'll talk to you later," and hung up. She stood up, walked over to Chen Xu, wrapped her arms around his neck, and gave him a light kiss on the lips.
