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

Wang Kai really felt like he was about to die.

His mind was already somewhat hazy, and he couldn't care less about what Liu Wei had just said about breathing through his nose. He only knew to rely on his instinct to take deep breaths.

Under such continuous heavy breathing, his throat quickly dried out, making each subsequent inhalation feel like swallowing sand, extremely difficult and dry.

In addition, his legs were almost exhausted, so heavy that each lift required all his strength.

"Huff... huff..."

If only I could stop and lie down on the ground right now...

Even lying on a cement floor covered with pebbles, Wang Kai felt as comfortable as if he were on a Simmons mattress.

Liu Wei maintained a steady pace, running alongside Wang Kai. Looking at Wang Kai's flushed face, contorted features, and half-dead state, his tone was filled with undisguised mockery and disdain. "Can't even handle this?"

"The greatest tragedy for you ordinary people is that you don't know your own worth."

"Some people are just born slow. It's their genes. No matter how much they train, they can only go from a slow tortoise to a slightly faster one. They will never catch up with a rabbit."

"Look at all that flabby muscle. You look like you're going to die after running just three kilometers. What kind of achievement do you expect to make?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Kai wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't even have the strength to utter a single word.

He could only grit his teeth and listen to Liu Wei's merciless sarcasm, without having any chance to refute it.

Liu Wei showed no sign of stopping. He glanced at Liu Mengyao, who was following at the back, and continued meaningfully, "This society is a pyramid. Those who stand at the top are born with all the resources."

"The food and supplies they have are things that people at the bottom of society could never even dream of getting a piece of even if they worked their whole lives."

"No matter how hard people struggle, they will only end up being crushed to pieces. So, a person at the bottom should just accept their fate and be a lowly ant in this life. Don't dream of circles or women that don't belong to them."

On the surface, Liu Wei was rambling on and on, seemingly spouting some nonsensical platitudes, but in reality, he was saying all of this on purpose for Liu Mengyao to hear.

He was telling himself just how wrong his incredibly naive and silly sister had been with what she said yesterday.

As long as I'm with the person I like, it doesn't matter if that person is a street sweeper.

As Mengyao's elder brother and the future head of the Liu family, he must help Mengyao get rid of this extremely foolish idea as soon as possible.

The bottom is the bottom, just like this ugly fat guy named Wang Kai. No matter how hard he tries, he will never become a handsome guy with a good figure.

In Liu Wei's mind, everything was predetermined from the moment it was created, and there was basically no chance of it changing.

At this moment, Wang Kai had no interest in what Liu Wei was saying. His steps slowed down, his eyes rolled back, and his gait was so unsteady that he seemed about to fall to the ground at any moment. He was only dragging his body forward by the unconscious movement of his muscles.

Finally, his knees buckled, and his body lurched forward uncontrollably.

Just as he was about to fall, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, grabbed his arm, and lifted him up again.

"You think you can just give up already?"

Jiang Che's voice rang in his ears, and Wang Kai's eyes regained some focus.

He struggled to lift his head and look at Jiang Che, "Che...Brother Che...I can't go on...I really can't run anymore..."

"Then stop running."

Jiang Che coldly uttered these words, then released his grip on Wang Kai's arm and stood by indifferently.

Wang Kai shook his throbbing head, turned his head with difficulty, and looked at his brother with a puzzled expression.

He didn't understand why Jiang Che would tell him to give up.

Jiang Che met Wang Kai's unfocused gaze and began his verbal attack without any mercy: "With your current pathetic state, you can't even breathe properly, let alone develop abs."

"Liu Wei is right. No one would care if a piece of trash like you died on the track."

"If you dare to stop today, never mention liking Liu Mengyao in front of me again. You're not even worthy of carrying her shoes."

Jiang Che spoke rapidly, each word like a knife, giving Wang Kai no chance to breathe or refute: "Do you think you can win someone over with just passion? That you can succeed by just talking?"

"If you can't even endure this little hardship, how can you protect others from the wind and rain? With that fat body of yours that gets out of breath after running?"

"If that's the case, I suggest you go back to your dorm and sleep as soon as possible, instead of making a fool of yourself here."

In order to maximize Wang Kai's fighting spirit, Jiang Che gritted his teeth and made a tough decision, deliberately saying these words in an extremely harsh way.

He knew very well that Wang Kai's physical strength had long been exhausted to the limit, and the only reason he had been able to hold on until now was because of his obsession with Liu Mengyao, which was keeping him on his last breath.

If we don't use some strong medicine to stimulate his numb nerves at this point, this fat guy definitely won't be able to run the last lap and a half today.

"I've told you everything that happened in the hospital ward yesterday at noon. You know perfectly well how Liu Wei arrogantly humiliated people."

"He shows no mercy to me, so he will be even more ruthless in trampling on you."

"If you want him to respect you, if you want to stand rightfully by Liu Mengyao's side, then you'd better do everything in your power to take this first step well!"

Wang Kai was in a state of oxygen deprivation and dizziness, but every word Jiang Che said still entered his ears without missing a single one.

He kept reminding himself that pursuing Liu Mengyao would be very difficult.

The Liu family has a strong military background and political resources, but they are just an ordinary family running a small chain of supermarkets.

The difference in status between the two companies is too great, not to mention that Liu Wei, a living devil whose mind is full of the exchange of interests, is blocking their way.

Overcoming these obstacles is harder than climbing to heaven.

Compared to improving one's family background and accumulating power and wealth, losing weight to change one's bloated body covered in soft flesh is the easiest and most difficult step to take in pursuing Liu Mengyao.

This step only requires you to practice with all your might; you don't need to rely on your parents or ask for help.

If he can't even take this simplest step, what will he have to rely on to withstand Liu Wei's various difficulties in the future?

If he can't even take this simplest step, what gives him the right to claim that he genuinely likes Liu Mengyao?

Wang Kai couldn't help but recall the day in his second year of high school when they chose their majors and the classes were reorganized.

When I first met Liu Mengyao, the girl had a neat ponytail, and the morning sunlight shone on her profile, making her look so beautiful and gentle.

She smiled as she distributed new textbooks to the whole class, and her voice was gentle whenever she spoke to anyone. This clean and pure appearance was immediately imprinted in his heart.

Wang Kai secretly vowed to himself that one day he would win Liu Mengyao's heart.

Therefore, no matter how difficult the road may be, he is determined to give it his all for that initial spark of attraction.

With a myriad of thoughts swirling in his mind, Wang Kai's head miraculously began to clear slowly under the influence of psychological manipulation.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on Liu Mengyao at the finish line ahead, his hands clenched into fists at his sides.
