Han Wenwen returned to the dorm, carrying her shopping.
She saw Xiao Heqing out on the balcony doing stretches. Her ponytail gave the usually sweet Xiao Heqing a resolute, capable look. She rested one leg high against the wall above her head and slowly leaned into the stretch.
"Wenwen, you're back? Did you go film another video today?" Xiao Heqing quickly greeted her best friend.
Han Wenwen shut the door and nodded. "Yeah, I spent another whole day at the rental apartment. I picked up some dinner on my way back, too. Why the sudden workout in the dorm today, Qingqing?"
Xiao Heqing lowered her leg. "Just limbering up. I'm preparing for next year's taekwondo tournament. Ever since starting middle school, I feel like my training has really slowed down. I haven't made much progress in over a year, so I can't afford to slack off anymore."
She stepped out to wash her hands and returned shortly after. "Otherwise, next year's tournament is going to be a tough fight."
