I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 3: Empty Bar Chest Press
"Wei Lin! You bastard!"

After calling five times without any response, Lin Nanxi was completely devastated and was so angry that she wanted to curse.

"He hesitated, what on earth did he want to say to me?"

"Why choose the middle of the night? Is it because of what I said to him this afternoon?"

"He finally doesn't want to keep this kind of relationship with me anymore? Does he want to end it, or?"

"Isn't it that he wants to take it seriously?"

"Did he suddenly realize that he has feelings for me, and they're not just physical?"

"..."

Lin Nanxi was confused.

Her face flushed, and she felt the alcohol suddenly rising up, stirring wildly in her blood and mind.

The image of Wei Lin suddenly came to her like a torrent of alcohol, swirling uncontrollably between her body and mind, causing all kinds of emotions to suddenly overflow in her.

She admitted that she had a good impression of Wei Lin.

Otherwise, even after she drank too much, it would be impossible for such a thing to happen between her and Wei Lin.

However, from beginning to end, she didn't feel even a little bit of seriousness from Wei Lin.

Because of this, she would always remind herself that she and Wei Lin only had a purely physical relationship, and she must never fall in love with Wei Lin and must never indulge in it.

Before Wei Lin, she had only dated one boyfriend for seven years.

The two met in their freshman year. After graduating from college, she was the first to enter the society and work hard to support her boyfriend who came from a poor family to study for a master's degree.

After her boyfriend got his master's degree, he suddenly chose a girlfriend from a wealthy family and decisively abandoned her.

At this point, she sealed her heart with cement.

Wei Lin was the second man in her life, but he still hurt her.

Because from the very beginning, Wei Lin ruthlessly defined their relationship as not a couple.

She admitted it.

She didn't have any illusions about Wei Lin, and the communication between them never involved any romantic feelings.

But just today, Wei Lin first asked her in the afternoon whether she had ever loved him, and just now made a strange phone call.

"There's something wrong with him."

Lin Nanxi suddenly had a new expectation about their relationship, but she was unable to contact Wei Lin to verify it.

That night, the icy beauty in Cathay Building tossed and turned, with Wei Lin's shadow and voice in her mind.

"I suddenly miss you a little bit and want to hear your voice."

Wei Lin's words made Lin Nanxi unable to sleep.

……

The next day.

Wei Lin woke up in a daze, took a look at the love value progress bar, and was surprised to find that the love value had changed from 4 to 9.

Overnight, I gained 5 points!

"There's a show!"

When I opened my phone, Lin Nanxi's profile picture was indeed extremely conspicuous.

Before one o'clock, there were five missed calls from Lin Nanxi.

Two around 1:30 and one at 2:00.

At three o'clock in the morning, there was still one.

Overnight, Lin Nanxi made nine phone calls and was still awake at three o'clock!

At half past three, she sent another message, a simple symbol: "?"

After pondering for a moment, Wei Lin sent a message back: "I was drunk last night and I don't know how I ended up calling you. I don't remember what we said. Um... I didn't say anything stupid, did I?"

"Drunk?" Lin Nanxi replied immediately.

"Well, I was drunk and stupid. I didn't say anything to offend you, did I?"

This time, Lin Nanxi remained silent for a long time, and only replied after a few minutes: "No."

"We've known each other for such a long time, but we've never had dinner together. If you're not busy these days, how about we take some time to have dinner together?" Wei Lin asked.

"I'm not busy recently." Lin Nanxi replied immediately again.

"Uh..." Wei Lin smacked his lips.

He clearly remembered that last night, Lin Nanxi said that she was very busy and left in a hurry. Why is she suddenly not busy now?

"Okay, wait for my news."

After replying a message, Wei Lin got up and washed up.

Before going out, he glanced at his phone and found that Lin Nanxi had not replied. Instead, Wei Lin smiled.

……

Linjiang City, Xinxing Industrial Zone, Xinlin Hat Industry Co., Ltd.

"Cough cough!"

Wei Lin smoked a cigarette and coughed as he flipped through the report in his hand, imprinting rows of numbers in his mind.

"Linzi, smoke less and exercise when you have time. I think your physical condition may not be as good as mine."

An Yuntian clutched the thermos cup and said with concern, "I'm watching over the company. There aren't any major problems. Although we're not making a lot of money right now, we're on the right track."

"I understand, Uncle An. I'll go to the gym this afternoon." Wei Lin said with a smile.

"You kid, you just know how to fool me every day! In the past six months, have you ever been there once?"

An Yuntian glared at him and said, "Linzi, my little brat is already grown up, but he still hasn't had a girlfriend. As his brother, can't you teach him a lesson?"

"How do I teach this?" Wei Lin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Teach me how you want!" An Yuntian snorted coldly, "I've watched you two grow up. You've had one girlfriend after another, and he's been hanging out with you for so long, and he's never even had a girlfriend."

"You kid is eating meat with such big mouthfuls that you don't even give him some of the soup?"

"Your aunt is always chanting in my ear, anxious to have a grandson. I think Xiaoxin might not be able to survive on his own, so I'm counting on you to help him."

Without talking about the company's business, An Yuntian kept muttering, worrying about his son's lifelong affairs.

He and Wei Lin's father Wei Zhenbang are sworn brothers. When they were young, they joined the largest local Qifeng Hat Industry together, and then resigned together to establish Xinlin Hat Industry. The company was named after their son.

An Yuntian is responsible for the factory's procurement, production and warehousing, and holds a 30% stake.

Wei Zhenbang was in charge of business operations, scouting for orders and holding a 70% stake. The two had worked together very well for many years. It wasn't until Wei Zhenbang was on a business trip and had an accident due to fatigue driving in the middle of the night on his way back that Wei Lin took over the company's operations.

After the big brother passed away, An Yuntian spared no effort to help Wei Lin familiarize himself with all kinds of company affairs.

Wei Lin did not disappoint his expectations. He devoted himself to the company and did better business than when his father was alive.

Before he joined the company, 90% of the company's orders were from domestic sources and only 10% came from abroad.

Thanks to Wei Lin's efforts, not only did domestic orders make a breakthrough, he also brought in a lot of foreign orders for the company, making foreign orders account for about 40% of the company's total.

An Yuntian recognized Wei Lin's personal abilities from the bottom of his heart, and he had recognized them since he was a child.

"Okay, Uncle An, stop nagging me. I'll find a girlfriend for An Xin in the next two days."

Wei Lin sighed and felt a headache when he thought of that fat, bootlicking brother.

Some things are difficult to teach.

……

At 4:30 in the afternoon, I went to the gym.

Wei Lin, who had been away for nearly half a year, changed into shorts and a vest and walked to the aerobic area on the second floor with ease.

Wei Lin picked a treadmill with the best view, adjusted the incline to 12 and the speed to 4, and started walking on the incline.

The first floor of this gym is the strength training area, which is filled with various strength training equipment.

On both sides of the second floor, various aerobic equipment are placed. When members do aerobics, they can see men and women exercising on the equipment below.

Wei Lin never does strength training, but he is used to glancing at the hot beauties in yoga pants while doing aerobics on the second floor.

Today too.

"Girls who train strength have a much better figure than those who only do aerobics."

Wei Lin secretly judged.

After looking around, he noticed a strange female coach with a hot figure, and his eyes lingered on her.

The female coach is about 1.68 meters tall, with a 78% facial feature, healthy wheat-colored skin, a plump chest, and peach-shaped buttocks that almost stretch her yoga pants to bursting point.

"You don't even need to look at her face, her figure alone is enough to make her stunning. Her face is also not bad at all, and she's still young."

In just a few minutes, Wei Lin was already out of breath and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Damn it, I haven't exercised in a long time. I can't hold on any longer."

After adjusting the slope to 10 and changing the speed to 3.5, Wei Lin felt better and continued to persevere while panting.

Twenty minutes later, Wei Lin was sweating profusely.

After measuring his heart rate using the treadmill's built-in instrument and finding it had reached 160, he wisely stopped slowly.

After recovering for a while, Wei Lin wandered to the equipment area on the first floor.

Standing in front of an empty bench press rack, seeing that there was no one around and only a bare barbell bar on the rack, Wei Lin hesitated for a few seconds and then lay down.

"I used to be able to do over thirty push-ups, so this 20kg empty bar shouldn't be a problem."

With this in mind, Wei Lin raised the club with some difficulty and began to putt in a proper manner.

"Fuck! That's heavy!"

When he pushed the first one, Wei Lin's face had already turned red due to holding his breath.

When he gritted his teeth and persevered to the fifth one, he closed his eyes and suddenly saw the progress bar of the love value suddenly changed from 9 to 10.

Love value: 10/10!

The image of Lin Nanxi sitting quietly in her office with dark circles under her eyes just flashed through Wei Lin's mind, and the 20-kilogram barbell also pressed on his chest like a mountain.

I couldn't get up no matter what I did.

Wei Lin, who was struggling to breathe due to the pressure, suppressed the joy of his love value breakthrough and screamed in frustration: "Ahem! Ahem! Is there any brother who can lend a hand?!"

"Pfft!"

As the laughter with obvious sarcasm sounded, footsteps approached rapidly, and then a pair of slender and beautiful hands were seen grabbing the barbell and pulling it up.

Wei Lin, lying on his back on the bench and struggling desperately, looked at the pretty face of the female coach who was trying hard to suppress a smile, and felt like crying but had no tears.

"Member, if you have no previous training experience, I suggest you start with safe, fixed equipment."

“Or, you can find a professional trainer to help you get familiar with the free equipment here.”

The barbell finally returned to its original position. The female coach stood upright and calmly, looking down at Wei Lin who was still slumped on the bench and said.

"Give me a hand? And then, talk?"

Staring at the female coach's face, which wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed to do so, Wei Lin stretched out his hand and, with a blushing face, gestured to the female coach to pull him up.

His face turned red, not because he felt embarrassed, but because he was under the pressure of the barbell.

"You really can't get up?" The female coach hesitated.

"Yeah. If you want sales, then pull me up."

Wei Lin, who had recovered some strength, refused to move and ignored the onlookers who were laughing at him, insisting that the female coach pull him up.

"He's so fucking incompetent and shameless! I don't believe he can't get up on his own!"

"I think he just wants to flirt with the new female coach!"

"Just now, when he was on the treadmill, his eyes seemed to be welded to the female coach. It was obvious that he had bad intentions."

"With his height and weight, how could he have such a hard time even pushing an empty bar? He did it on purpose!"

A group of members were discussing this.

Faced with numerous criticisms, the female coach felt uncomfortable and looked at Wei Lin with anger.

Wei Lin, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, looking at her with a playful smile, and continued, "Pull me up. One hundred private lessons, right now."

"He Jingxuan! Why are you still standing there? Hurry and pull him up!"

The coaching manager suddenly roared in the distance.

"it is good!"

The panicked female coach grasped Wei Lin's outstretched hand with both hands and tried to pull it up again.

Wei Lin was knocked to the ground by her and fell flat on his face.

Laughter broke out.
