Huayu Entertainment: It was the young actress who took the initiative.

"Then you can practice a few more sets on your own. I'm going over there now."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the squat rack, not intending to continue arguing with her.

Naza watched his retreating figure, biting her lip, feeling somewhat unwilling.

But she didn't follow them. Instead, she took out her phone, snapped a picture of the equipment, and secretly took another picture of Chen Mo's back before posting it on her WeChat Moments.

"I met a super nice guy at the gym today who taught me how to use the machines~ [smirk]"

The accompanying image shows the equipment and Chen Mo's blurry back view.

Soon, a friend commented:

"She looks like she has a good figure from behind!"

"Which young man? Is he an actor?"

"Sister Nazha is so disciplined!"

Naza replied with a smile, then secretly glanced at Chen Mo a few times.

Chen Mo was focused on training in front of the squat rack and didn't notice her gaze at all.

He trained very diligently, and after completing set after set, his muscles gleamed under the lights.

After watching for a while, Naza finally couldn't resist and got up to go over.

"Um...you have a really good figure."

She stood beside her, her tone sincere.

Chen Mo put down the barbell and wiped his sweat:

"Thanks."

"Um...can I add you on WeChat? We can work out together sometime."

Naza bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said.

After all, this was the first time she had ever asked a guy for his WeChat.

Chen Mo nodded, observing the cautious manner.

"OK."

After adding each other on WeChat, Nazha received a notification from the production team:

"Something came up on my film set, so I have to go now. Let's work out together sometime!"

"Okay, take care."

As Naza walked to the door, she looked back at Chen Mo one last time with lingering reluctance before pushing the door open and leaving.

Chen Mo watched her leave, then turned back to continue his training plan.

He walked up to the squat rack and started doing squats.

The movements were standard and consistent, and each set was performed to exhaustion.

At the front desk, two coaches who had just changed shifts were chatting together.

They were both around 27 or 28 years old, one named A-Jie and the other named Da-Wei, both senior instructors at this gym.

"Was that beautiful woman Gulnazar just now?"

Ah Jie gestured towards the door with his chin, "He's even better looking in person than on TV."

"It's her. It seems she's filming 'Fighter of the Destiny' nearby."

David nodded, then lowered his voice, "Did you see how enthusiastically she was chatting with that guy just now? She even had him teach her how to use the equipment."

The two of them looked at Chen Mo, who was training in front of the squat rack, without prior arrangement.

Ah Jie sized him up for a while, then pursed his lips:

"This kid doesn't look that big. He weighs at most 75 kilograms, and his chest and arms aren't particularly exaggerated. How come he's..."

As the two were talking, Chen Mo had already finished his squat training and was preparing to do a few sets of conventional deadlifts.

He first added a 20-kilogram weight plate to each side of the barbell and did a set of warm-up exercises.

Then I added two more pieces, making it 100 kilograms, and did several sets.

A-Jie and Da-Wei watched with relatively normal expressions. A 100-kilogram deadlift is not difficult for people with a training foundation.

But then, Chen Mo started increasing the weight.

He quietly and attentively added bar weights one by one to both sides of the barbell.

25 kg, 20 kg, 15 kg... Finally, when both sides were covered with barbell plates of various sizes, the entire barbell looked very heavy.

"Wait, let me calculate..."

David squinted. "A standard barbell weighs 20 kilograms, and each side... Holy crap, that must be 240 kilograms!"

Ah Jie was stunned: "240? How much does he weigh? 80 kilograms at most. This is three times his weight."

In the field of strength training, being able to lift twice one's own body weight is already considered among the best of amateur enthusiasts.

Three times or more is the level of professional fitness enthusiasts or those with exceptional talent.

There were several other members in the gym who, seeing so many barbell plates piled up on Chen Mo's side, curiously gathered around.

Chen Mo stretched his wrists and ankles before walking to the barbell.

He took a deep breath, bent down, and gripped the barbell with both hands.

Standard form: Keep your back straight, core engaged, and shoulder blades retracted.

Then, exert your strength.

To everyone's astonishment, the 240-kilogram barbell steadily lifted off the ground.

Chen Mo's movements were not fast, but extremely steady.

After pulling it up, he slowly lowered the barbell back to the ground.

A muffled "bang" was heard.

There was a few seconds of silence in the gym.

Then someone said quietly:

"Awesome."

Chen Mo loosened the barbell, straightened up, and breathed slightly.

He wiped his sweat, did a few more reps, and then began removing the barbell plates.

Ah Jie and Dawei exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"Holy crap..."

Ah-Jie murmured, "It really got back up..."

"Moreover, the movements were very standard, with no hunching or using leverage."

David had just looked at it more closely, "This core strength, this explosive power... no wonder beautiful women seek him out to teach them."

Ah Jie was now convinced: "That's really impressive, that athletic performance is top-notch."

Next to them, the receptionist was organizing member information. Overhearing their conversation, she rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath:

"A bunch of muscle-bound nerds, they've really gone stupid from building muscle... Is that even the point?"

She looked up and glanced at Chen Mo, who was removing the barbell plates.

Under the lights, Chen Mo's profile was clearly defined, and his sweaty hair clung to his forehead, giving him a sexy look after exercise.

The black vest clung tightly to his body, outlining his well-defined but not exaggerated muscle lines.

The receptionist blushed slightly and continued muttering:

"Isn't it because he's handsome? They're all so arrogant, I think they're about to collapse from all this practice..."

After removing the barbell plates, Chen Mo did several sets of auxiliary exercises before ending his training session for the day.

He went to the shower, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.

As he left the gym, the receptionist blushed and handed him a bottle of water.

"Sir, this is a gift from our gym."

"Thanks."

Chen Mo took it, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.

Those who followed Chen Mo out, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but inwardly complain:

I've been here so many times before, and this girl has never given me water. What kind of world is this...?

As I stepped out of the gym, night had fully fallen in Hengdian.

Chen Mo slowly walked back to the hotel.

On the way, he took out his phone and saw two messages that Dilraba had sent him:

"The director said there's one last scene! I'll try to finish as quickly as possible!"

"What kind of late-night snack would you like? I'll have my assistant buy it beforehand, and I'll bring it back with me."

Chen Mo replied, "Anything is fine, no rush, just focus on filming."

It was almost eight o'clock when I got back to my hotel room.

Chen Mo turned on the TV and randomly tuned to a movie channel, where an old Hong Kong film was playing.

He leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

The fatigue after training gradually crept in, but I felt very relaxed.

My phone vibrated.

It was a WeChat message from Gulinaza:

"Thank you for teaching me today~ [cute]"

Chen Mo replied, "You're welcome."

A reply came quickly from the other end: "Are you an actor too?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow. How did this girl know?

"Yes, how did you know?"

"I just saw your post on WeChat Moments. Sister Jingtian liked it too, and I thought you probably did as well."

Chen Mo chuckled to himself. She was quite clever; this girl had been pretending to be stupid in front of him this afternoon!

……

On the other side, seeing that Chen Mo didn't reply, Naza pouted and muttered:

"A cold-hearted man."

As soon as she came out of the gym today, she immediately checked Chen Mo's WeChat Moments. Seeing Jing Tian's likes, she guessed that Chen Mo might be in the same industry, after all, he was so handsome.

Then she searched for Chen Mo's name on Weibo, and to her surprise, she actually found it and even saw the video of him saving Dilraba.

"Dilraba, you eat so well..."

When Naza saw the video of Chen Mo carrying Reba ashore, she felt a pang of envy.

The male actors I'm working with don't resemble Chen Mo at all; they're not manly at all.
