Xiao Hua talks Lin Lin and A Qiang into cramming both a workout and exam revision into a single Saturday. It turns out to be a bit much, but they all agree it was worth it.
Planning It Out in the Group Chat
周五晚上，小华在手机群里发了一条消息：“明天大家都有空吧？”
On Friday night, Xiao Hua sent a message to the group chat: "Everyone's free tomorrow, right?"
Lin Lin
有空呀，可是下周一就考试了，我有点儿。
Sure, I'm free, but we've got the exam next Monday, so I'm a little worried.
Xiao Hua
那就这样：上午去公园运动运动，下午一起去图书馆，怎么样？
Then let's plan it like this: a bit of exercise at the park in the morning, then we hit the library together in the afternoon to revise. Sound good?
A Qiang
一天又锻炼又学习，会不会太满了？不过……行，我听你们的！
Working out and studying all in one day, isn't that a bit packed? But… okay, fine, I'm in!
Morning at the Park
第二天早上八点，三个人就在公园门口了。
At eight the next morning, the three of them met up at the park gate.
他们先跑了两圈，又打了一会儿篮球，阿强出了一身汗。
They first ran two laps, then played basketball for a while, and A Qiang was drenched in sweat.
A Qiang
哎哟，好久没运动了，我的腿都软了！
Oof, I haven't exercised in ages — my legs are like jelly!
Xiao Hua
一下嘛，运动完早饭才香呢！
Just hang in there — breakfast tastes so much better after a workout!
九点半，三个人挤在路边的小店里，一人一碗热汤面，吃得满头大汗。
At half past nine, the three of them squeezed into a little roadside shop, each with a steaming bowl of noodle soup, sweating buckets as they ate.
Afternoon in the Library
下午两点，他们找了个靠窗的位子，把书一本一本摆开。
At two in the afternoon, they found a spot by the window and laid out their books one by one.
图书馆里安静的，只听见翻书的声音。可没过半个小时，阿强的头就一点一点地低了下去。
The library was perfectly quiet, with only the sound of pages turning. But before half an hour was up, A Qiang's head started drooping lower and lower.
Lin Lin
喂，醒醒！口水都快流到书上了。
Hey, wake up! You're about to drool all over your book.
Xiao Hua
看来这个是有点儿满了……不过今天真的过得！
Looks like this schedule really was a bit too packed… but today was totally worth it!
