The paper stickman bounced around.

*Let me present you the requirements!

Task 3: Workout together for two hours everyday.

Condition(s):

1. Party A and B must workout/exercise together at the same time for two hours.

2. Do not do this task separately.

3. This is an ongoing task for the timeframe of one week.

4. This task will automatically be completed after one week of workout/exercise.*

As he toned down the blush on his face, Ji Haishan eyed Bai Yulin incredulously as if it was her fault for getting a fever. Now they were forced to undergo another pointless task.

He didn't know whether this stickman doll was just having fun with them or it really wanted them to win this game.

Like.. seriously? A workout could help them switch bodies back??

Bai Yulin looked at Ji Haishan like she was wronged and exclaimed "It's not my fault that I got the fever! It's YOUR body so half the blame is on you!"

"What did you say??" he gritted his teeth.

Bai Yulin tsk -ed and said "You heard exactly what I said."

"It's because you stayed too long in the bathtub! Who asked you to sleep there?" he countered.

The earlier awkwardness disappeared altogether as they bickered and the paper doll flew away from there as it smiled at them.

Its smile was that of longing and sorrow.. but nobody noticed.

The next day, Ji Haishan decided that he would just stay and work from home for a month. Even after many attempts at making Bai Yulin act perfectly like him, she couldn't do it.

She was hopeless.

Now Ji Haishan knew why Bai Yulin never accepted any acting roles for her three years of successful career as a model.

She couldn't act at all.

Those movie or drama directors were blind to even choose her as their actress just because she was the prettiest woman alive.

"You really.. I'm speechless." Ji Haishan sighed depressingly as he took a seat on the sofa. He didn't even want to finish his sentence.

He had asked Bai Yulin to act like him, walk like him and maintain an expressionless face like him. But she just kept on smiling! Celeb blood was running in her very own heart!

She just couldn't stop smiling sweetly and grinning like an idiot. How could he let her go to work like this??

And when Ji Haishan looked at her, he realized he would appear as a joke in the entire company as soon as he let her go there.

So, he decided that only when there was an important meeting would he let Bai Yulin go and pretend to be him. He would rather work from home for the time being.

"Geez.. you're so strict! I'm exhausted! Let me eat something. I want snacks!" Bai Yulin made a protest. She couldn't handle his vexing lesson anymore. She was tired just trying to maintain a poker face.

Didn't someone have mentioned that frowning required more muscle movement than smiling? Which part of that didn't he understand??

"Fine. We'll stop here today." he grumbled as he went to the kitchen and took out a bowl of ice cream.

"Here." he gave her one.

Bai Yulin didn't expect him to be so kind as she thanked him with a grin. She then ate the ice cream happily.

"After you eat that, we'll go to the gym." he told her as he crossed his arms.

Bai Yulin raised her brow, asking "The gym? Where is that?"

Ji Haishan flipped his hair and said "A few floors down. There's a full workout equipment- ow!"

Bai Yulin almost dropped her bowl of ice cream as she faced Ji Haishan who suddenly shrieked out of nowhere. She saw him having a hard time with his hair.

"Damn.. long hair is such a bother." he mumbled as he tried reaching for a part where his hair got tangled. His face started to become red.

"It's hot with long hair. How did you ever manage this?" he complained like a woman and Bai Yulin was heartless enough to laugh.

Ji Haishan narrowed his eyes at her and asked "Why are you laughing?"

"Nothing. Just.. you're acting like a real woman, Ji Haishan." Bai Yulin waved her two hands and continued laughing. He was acting very sassy like a woman indeed.

"It's not funny Bai Yulin. So help me quickly!" Ji Haishan was about to lose his temper when Bai Yulin went up to him and helped him out with his hair.

"Geez.. this is what you got when you were too strict with me. Even my own hair isn't on your side." she chuckled.

Ji Haishan didn't say a word. He didn't want to.

Why must he suffer such embarrassment in front of her?

Ji Haishan's body was too tall for Bai Yulin to see clearly so she bended a little closer towards Ji Haishan, trying to untangle a part of the hair.

"Hm.. as expected, my hair is smooth like always." she suddenly praised her own long hair.

"What are you? A narcissist?" he scoffed.

Bai Yulin pursed her lips. Why was he asking for a fight? Then she suddenly got an idea. So she 'accidentally' pulled on his hair which caused Ji Haishan to yelp out loud.

"Arg! What the hell, Bai Yulin?!"

Bai Yulin ignored Ji Haishan and pulled again.

"Ahhh! Hurt- it hurts!!" Ji Haishan was left begging for mercy.

After their little fiasco, the two went to the gym to do their task, two hours of workout.

Somehow, the relationship between the two of them was in a good track and it kept getting better, to the point that they could even argue. They just weren't aware of it.

*

Bai Yulin followed Ji Haishan into the gym room which was two times bigger than his condo. It was separated by women and men's section. However, there was a section where either sexes could use freely.

They went to that section.

"Now exercise on your own. I'll do my own thing too." Ji Haishan said simply as he went towards a treadmill, his favorite equipment.

Bai Yulin was left alone and she didn't know what to do. She saw Ji Haishan walking towards the treadmill and she thought she would also try it out.

But before she could follow after him, She heard someone greet her from behind. So she immediately turned around and she mentally prepared herself to act normal.

"Young master Ji, fancy meeting you here." surprisingly, it was a man whom Bai Yulin recognized!

'Isn't this that famous singer, Hughes Wang??'

Bai Yulin was totally surprised that she forgot everything she was supposed to do. So Hughes Wang also lived at Secret Sanctuary! Omg! Look at that face.. so good-looking!

As expected of a famous singer with a fan base of millions. His voice was also so melodious! She bet he was super nice and kind just like his tranquil appearance!
