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

Looking at Wang Kai's expectant face, Jiang Che hesitated for a long time before finally hardening his heart and pouring cold water on him.

"Kai, you probably won't be able to wear it tomorrow morning..."

"What's wrong? Is it going to rain tomorrow?"

Wang Kai clearly didn't understand Jiang Che's meaning. He turned to look at the bright sunshine outside the window and muttered to himself, "This sky doesn't look like it. The weather forecast also said tomorrow would be sunny..."

"It's not raining," Jiang Che sighed softly and explained, "It's just that tomorrow morning's special training has been canceled, and Liu Wei won't be teaching it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Kai's smile froze on his face, his hands still holding the shoes, his mouth slightly open in a daze.

After realizing what had happened, his hand trembled uncontrollably, and the running shoe slipped from his hand and fell back into the shoebox with a thud.

"You're not going to teach anymore? Why?"

Wang Kai was now truly anxious. He quickly took the shoebox off his lap and put it aside. Then, he anxiously moved closer to Jiang Che, shaking his arm frantically and asking, "Wasn't everything fine this morning? I even bought the shoes! How could my brother-in-law suddenly decide not to teach me?"

"I had a big argument with Liu Wei at the hospital at noon."

"They had a big argument? What happened?"

Wang Kai really couldn't understand what a special forces soldier and a student could have to argue about.

"He's meddling too much."

When this matter was mentioned, Jiang Che's tone immediately turned cold.

Recalling the scene that happened in the ward at noon, he couldn't help but feel disgusted. "He looked down on Qinghe, belittled her in front of me, and even tried to force Liu Mengyao on me, using the Liu family's background to intimidate me."

"I was already being very lenient by not hitting him directly."

Then, Jiang Che recounted to Wang Kai the details of his argument with Liu Wei at noon.

Wang Kai listened quietly from the side, his expression gradually changing from initial confusion to disappointment and anger.

As Jiang Che's brother, he knew Jiang Che's temper very well and understood that Su Qinghe was Jiang Che's bottom line.

Liu Wei crossed this line, and it's a foregone conclusion that the two will break up.

Therefore, Wang Kai didn't say anything more. He just silently shrank back into the chair, looked down at the fluorescent green running shoes in the shoebox, and his expression fell.

"It's all over, absolutely all over..."

Wang Kai sighed deeply, "My love story was cut short before it even began because of my brother-in-law's reckless behavior."

Seeing his dejected appearance, Jiang Che kicked his chair leg and said, "Look at you, so pathetic. What does your love have to do with Liu Wei? You're chasing Liu Mengyao, not Liu Wei."

"That's true..." Wang Kai looked up at Jiang Che with a pained expression, "But if I really manage to win Liu Mengyao's heart, I'll definitely need her brother's approval to discuss marriage, right?"

"Given my family's barely-comfortable living conditions, wouldn't he just kick me into the Pacific Ocean?"

"..."

The two brothers looked at each other in silence for a moment.

After a while, Wang Kai forced himself to sit up straight and asked Jiang Che, "So, without Liu Wei to train you, are you still going to train tomorrow?"

"Of course I'll train." Jiang Che answered decisively. His goal was to get into the top three in the marathon. Giving up training at this point would be digging his own grave.

"Then take me with you!" Wang Kai seemed to have made up his mind, reaching out to hook his arm around Jiang Che's neck. "It's better that Liu Wei isn't here. We can train on our own, without that living devil watching over us. I can relax a bit more."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che couldn't help but turn his head to sized up Wang Kai. "Liu Mengyao won't be here tomorrow, so why are you following me around doing this? With your stamina, you're already exhausted after running two kilometers. Don't you know your own limitations?"

"I'm doing this for myself!" Wang Kai straightened his chest. "I've remembered everything you said to me this morning. I'm not good enough for Yao Yao in this state."

"Besides, you said it yourself, I'm pursuing Yao Yao, not Liu Wei, so even if I can't train with Yao Yao, I can't stop losing weight!"

"I need to turn this fat into muscle! Once I have eight-pack abs and win Yao Yao's heart, even if Liu Wei dislikes me, I can take two punches from him without falling down!"

Jiang Che stared at Wang Kai for a while and saw a rare seriousness in his eyes.

Wang Kai is usually carefree and easygoing, but when faced with something he truly cares about, he can also unleash a fierce determination.

In some ways, he's quite similar to her, which is why they've been good brothers for so many years.

"Okay." Seeing Wang Kai's spirited look, Jiang Che nodded in agreement with satisfaction. "Then meet me downstairs at my place at 5:30 tomorrow morning."

"Alright!"

After the two reached an agreement, Jiang Che suddenly thought of another problem: "But you're living on campus now, so it must be inconvenient for you to leave your dorm and go out of the school gate in the morning, right?"

"The dorm supervisor doesn't open until six o'clock. How about we don't meet downstairs at my place? You can just wait for me on the playground, and I'll climb over the wall to find you?"

"No need to use a VPN." Wang Kai waved his hand dismissively and said, "I'll ask my teacher for leave later and apply for day student status."

"As you know, my apartment is just two streets away from yours, a ten-minute bike ride away. Let's stick to the plan, I'll come to your building tomorrow morning."

Hearing what Wang Kai said, Jiang Che raised an eyebrow in surprise, "The application for day student status is so easy to process? It's senior year of high school, do you think your homeroom teacher will approve it?"

"So what if you're a senior in high school? You can be a day student in your senior year too."

At this point, Wang Kai couldn't help but feel a little proud, and chuckled, "Mainly because my grades are pretty good, I've always been in the top fifty of my grade."

"So all I have to do is tell my teacher that I'm not getting enough rest in the dorm at night, which is affecting my concentration during the day and that I need to go home to catch up on sleep. My teacher will approve the request without hesitation."

Jiang Che was speechless. Wang Kai had thoroughly exploited the privileges that good students had in front of their teachers.

"Alright, good luck then, and don't be late tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry, Che-ge! I guarantee I'll be there on time!"

……

The next morning, at 5:20.

Jiang Che changed into a black tracksuit, and after walking a few steps out of the building, he involuntarily stopped.

Because he could clearly see that, not far away, under the streetlight where he had first met Liu Wei, three people were standing.

The most eye-catching was Wang Kai, whose fluorescent green running shoes stood out in the dim light.

The other two people next to him were Liu Wei and Liu Mengyao.

Liu Wei was still wearing his camouflage training uniform, his hands behind his back, standing ramrod straight.

Liu Mengyao, with her hair in a ponytail and wearing a white tracksuit, was listening intently to Wang Kai speak, occasionally nodding in response.

Seeing this, Jiang Che frowned, wondering why Liu Wei had come.

The two had such a tense argument at the hospital yesterday noon. Logically speaking, someone like Liu Wei, who values ​​face so much, would never stoop to confronting him.

Completely baffled, and with Wang Kai also there, Jiang Che could only stride quickly toward the three of them.
