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

Liu Mengyao is the class monitor of Jiang Che's class.

Although they were acquaintances, they weren't really that close. Jiang Che's impression of her was that she was a quiet, unassuming female class leader who didn't talk much and had a low profile.

That is, I can hear her say a few words when collecting homework.

She's the kind of well-behaved girl who blends into the crowd and goes unnoticed, but whose grades are always consistently high.

Liu Mengyao obviously didn't expect to run into Jiang Che here. When Liu Wei was talking to Jiang Che just now, she just felt that this person looked a lot like Jiang Che, but she didn't dare to recognize him.

"Jiang... Jiang Che." She greeted Jiang Che softly, pushed up her black-rimmed glasses, and gave a small smile. "I'm here to train with Instructor Liu too."

"You train too?"

When Jiang Che heard Liu Mengyao say that she was also there for training, he was a little confused.

He pointed at Liu Wei, then at Liu Mengyao, "You two know each other?"

Liu Wei is a special forces soldier who returned from Beijing, while Liu Mengyao is a well-behaved girl in Class 1, Grade 12 at Lincheng No. 1 High School.

On the surface, this seems like an unrelated relationship.

However, Jiang Che wasn't stupid. They both had the same surname, Liu, and their appearances were somewhat similar.

They're definitely siblings.

Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.

Liu Wei coldly interrupted Jiang Che's gossip, but still introduced Liu Mengyao's identity, "This is my younger sister, my father's youngest daughter."

"She was very weak and often got sick, so I had her exercise with me to improve her health."

She really is my sister.

Jiang Che recalled that during training, Liu Zhenguo had said that if he didn't have someone he liked, he would like to introduce his youngest daughter to him.

So that so-called youngest daughter is Liu Mengyao, the class's academic representative?

What a small world!

To be fair, Liu Mengyao hid herself quite well; it turns out she's a true-blue second-generation red.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense."

Liu Wei didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer. He glanced at his watch and said, "It's 5:31. Now that everyone's here, let's begin."

"Warm up first, run ten laps around the neighborhood."

"How many?"

Upon hearing Liu Wei's announced task target, Jiang Che's eyes widened. "Ten laps? One lap around this neighborhood is at least a kilometer, right? Ten kilometers so early in the morning?"

"What? You think it's not enough?"

Liu Wei glanced at him indifferently, "Then twenty laps."

"No, no, no, ten laps is fine, ten laps is fine."

Jiang Che immediately backed down. He was joking, after running twenty laps, would he even want his legs anymore?

It's not that he's afraid of breaking his legs; if his legs were injured, how would he go to the hospital to take care of Su Qinghe?

"Um... Instructor."

Liu Mengyao, standing nearby, seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Wei's decision. She timidly raised her hand and cautiously looked at Liu Wei, "Brother... can I run a little less? I can't run ten laps..."

Facing his own younger sister, Liu Wei's deadpan expression softened slightly when he was with Jiang Che.

But it was only a little bit.

"no."

Liu Wei remained resolute in his refusal, lecturing Liu Mengyao with a stern face, "On the battlefield, will the enemy spare you a few shots just because you're a girl?"

"Physical fitness is fundamental. You're not allowed to eat until you finish the run, and it won't help if your father comes."

Liu Mengyao's face fell instantly, and she whispered "Oh," looking like she was about to cry.

Jiang Che was surprised that Liu Wei was so heartless towards his own sister, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the girl.

Having such a strict older brother means there's bound to be a lot of hardship ahead.

"What are you still standing there for?"

Seeing the two still standing there in a daze, Liu Wei coldly shouted, "Move!"

Jiang Che didn't care and started running, just like he had a few days ago.

Liu Mengyao stood still, sniffing as if she still wanted to argue with her brother.

But when she looked up, she met Liu Wei's cold and ruthless gaze, and was immediately frightened into silence. She could only jog after Jiang Che with a bitter face.

The three quickly lined up, with Liu Wei leading the way at a moderate pace, maintaining an excellent rhythm.

Jiang Che followed in the middle. After all, he had been trained by Liu Zhenguo for a while and had a certain foundation, so he ran relatively easily.

Only Liu Mengyao, who was at the back, suffered. After running only two laps, she was already panting, her face was flushed, and her steps became heavy.

"Adjust your breathing!" Liu Wei glanced back at Liu Mengyao and shouted, "Three steps in, one step out! You can't even handle this much intensity?"

Jiang Che glanced back and saw that Liu Mengyao was having a hard time running, so he couldn't help but slow down a bit.

"Hey, class monitor."

Jiang Che leaned closer and whispered, "If you really can't run anymore, just walk a few steps. Anyway, your brother can't see you from the front."

Liu Mengyao glanced at Jiang Che gratefully, but still shook her head.

"No... my brother will swear... he's really fierce."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Wei, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, shouted, "Jiang Che! What are you whispering about? Have too much energy?"

"Accelerate! Sprint one lap!"

Jiang Che: ...

He rolled his eyes in exasperation, then pushed off with his feet, instantly accelerating and rushing forward.

As he ran past Liu Wei, Liu Wei's gaze followed his figure, looking straight ahead until he disappeared at the end of the road.

For the first time, a hint of admiration for Jiang Che flashed in his eyes.

But the praise was fleeting, and soon Liu Wei reverted to his cold and aloof demeanor.

"Liu Mengyao, keep up!"

"Are you a tortoise? Even a tortoise can crawl faster than you!"

The originally quiet morning was turned into a lively one by Liu Wei's loud voice.

After running ten laps, Jiang Che was sweating a lot and his breathing was quite rapid, but it was all within a controllable range and his body did not feel very uncomfortable.

Liu Mengyao, on the other hand, collapsed onto the lawn, completely abandoning all pretense of decorum, panting heavily as if her lungs were about to explode.

Liu Wei walked towards the two of them unhurriedly, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and nodded slightly. "Fifty-five minutes, so-so."

He then walked up to Jiang Che, handed him a bottle of water, and said coldly, "Your foundation is alright, a bit better than I expected."

"However, today's training intensity is just the beginning. In the next two weeks, I will show you what real training is."

Jiang Che had already prepared himself for this a few days ago, so when he heard what Liu Wei said, he didn't have any special reaction on his face, he just nodded calmly.

Liu Wei then turned to look at Liu Mengyao, who was slumped on the ground, and said, "Get up, don't sit down. Sitting down right after running is bad for your heart."

Liu Mengyao looked distressed and struggled to stand up, but her legs were as weak as noodles, and she couldn't muster any strength.
