You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

"You...what? You just committed seppuku on the spot?"

Jiang Che looked at Wang Kai's flushed, chubby face, and angrily pulled out a book, rolled it into a tube, and then unceremoniously tapped him on the head.

"Stop daydreaming. If you could put that energy into your studies, would you still be struggling between a 985 and a 211 university? Tsinghua and Peking University would be begging you to go."

Wang Kai winced in pain, clutching his head and groaning in pain.

Even after being beaten, he remained relentless, his eyes still wide open, staring intently at Jiang Che, determined to get an explanation.

"Then explain yourself, why did a lone man and woman get together so early in the morning?"

"Don't tell me it's a coincidence; the odds of that are lower than finding money on the street."

Judging from Wang Kai's attitude, if he doesn't give an explanation today, he'll really keep agonizing over this issue forever.

Jiang Che couldn't help but sigh, "It really was a chance encounter, but it was forced."

Then, Jiang Che briefly recounted the events of the past two days to Wang Kai.

From how he met Liu Zhenguo while jogging downstairs, to Liu Zhenguo saying yesterday that he had to go back to Beijing for a meeting, to that expressionless special forces soldier Liu Wei taking over the training, and then seeing Liu Mengyao standing there like she was being punished when he went downstairs this morning.

"Shocking, right? The class monitor is usually so low-key in class, who would have thought her dad and brother are both high-ranking military officials?"

Jiang Che shrugged, looking helpless. "That's how it is. You can think of it simply as Liu Mengyao and I being dragged there by her brother for training."

Wang Kai was stunned, his mouth slightly open, unable to close it for a long time.

If someone else told him these things, he would only think that person was joking with him and would never take it seriously.

But Jiang Che was his best friend since childhood, and he knew very well that what Jiang Che had just said was true.

Wang Kai slowly turned his head and his gaze fell on Liu Mengyao, who was sitting in a seat not far away, looking down at a book. His expression was blank for a moment, and he looked a little lonely.

Jiang Che didn't notice Wang Kai's unusual behavior. He was currently looking at the post from earlier and casually scrolled through the comments section.

It's all just bystanders stirring up trouble, and a few people who look like paid trolls are making sarcastic remarks.

It's probably Zhang Yang or Lin Wanwan's underlings who are behind this.

These people are just like cockroaches; once you kill one, a whole nest comes out, and you can never get rid of them completely.

Jiang Che turned off his phone expressionlessly, only then noticing Wang Kai's blank expression.

So after returning the phone to him, she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, stop acting like you're going to die. I'm not interested in Liu Mengyao, and you know I already have a girlfriend."

Hearing Jiang Che's voice in his ear, Wang Kai finally came to his senses and looked away from Liu Mengyao's back.

After Jiang Che repeatedly assured him that his relationship with Liu Mengyao was completely innocent and that nothing had happened between them, Wang Kai's unease gradually dissipated.

The original melancholy, like that of a woman confined to her chambers, vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of relief at surviving a disaster, and a little bit of barely concealed glee.

"Phew—that scared Dad to death!"

Wang Kai let out a long sigh of relief, slumped back into his chair, and then couldn't help but chuckle, "I knew it, Brother Che, although you're usually unreliable, you're still dependable when it comes to matters of principle."

"Knowing that you still doubt me?"

Jiang Che, annoyed, reached out and punched Wang Kai hard in the arm, causing Wang Kai to howl in pain.

After the little incident, both of them calmed down. Jiang Che yawned wearily and prepared to lie down on the table for a short nap.

I haven't had a good rest these past two days because I've been busy running around, and this morning I was tormented by that devil, so now I'm feeling sleepy and my eyelids are drooping.

But he had only been lying down for two minutes when someone poked his arm again.

"What now?"

Jiang Che looked up in confusion and saw Wang Kai looking at him awkwardly, his chubby hands rubbing together under the table like a shy young woman.

"Um... Brother Che, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"explain."

"It's nothing major, it's just... could you take me with you to training tomorrow morning?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che sat up straight with a look of surprise, scrutinizing Wang Kai from head to toe as if he were an alien.

He even doubted whether he had misheard, but when he met Wang Kai's expectant gaze, Jiang Che knew that he definitely hadn't misheard.

Although this guy is indeed good at volleyball, when it comes to running, he usually struggles to run a kilometer in PE class. Yet now he's actually volunteering to join me in special forces training.

Are you alright?

Jiang Che reached out and touched Wang Kai's forehead. "You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"

"Do you know what kind of intensity that is? It's a 10-kilometer run, and you're not allowed to stop until you finish. Can your body handle it?"

Seeing that his hard-won determination had been questioned by Jiang Che, Wang Kai slapped Jiang Che's hand away, then puffed out his fleshy chest with a resolute expression.

"Why are you saying I'm not resilient? So what if I've gained a little weight? I'm still a hot-blooded man, you know!"

"I want to improve, I want to work out, I want to have a six-pack, is that not allowed?"

Jiang Che stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly chuckled, "Speak like a human being."

Wang Kai's imposing manner instantly deflated, his eyes darting around, but he dared not look at Jiang Che.

"Oh... I just... I just feel my physical fitness is too poor, so I want to train..."

"You're not telling the truth, are you?"

Seeing that Wang Kai was still stubbornly refusing to talk, Jiang Che pretended to lie down and go to sleep again, "Fine, don't tell me then. I'll go by myself tomorrow. You can continue to work on your eight-pack abs in your dreams."

"No, no, no!"

Wang Kai panicked and grabbed Jiang Che's arm.

He looked around to make sure no one was paying attention before leaning close to Jiang Che's ear and speaking in a very low voice, like a thief.

"I just... want to go see Liu Mengyao."

Jiang Che had an "I knew it" look on his face. "Why didn't you just admit it earlier? Why pretend to be such a big shot?"

Wang Kai scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, stammering for a long time without managing to utter a single word, his cheeks flushed like a shy young girl.

Jiang Che had actually realized long ago that Wang Kai liked Liu Mengyao.

This fat guy is usually very outgoing in class and can chat with anyone, but when he sees Liu Mengyao, he becomes like a mouse seeing a cat, and doesn't even dare to speak loudly.

Every time homework was collected, as long as Liu Mengyao came over, he would have to cover up his scribbles on his homework for a long time before finally finding an excuse to deliver it to the teacher's office alone.

They were afraid of leaving even the slightest bad impression on others.
