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

Jiang Che sized up Wang Kai, who was approaching from the front.

Previously, Wang Kai's flesh would jiggle after running just a few steps. Although he is still chubby, the puffy, swollen look has diminished considerably.

The flesh on her face has tightened up a bit, and even the jawline that had long disappeared has vaguely reappeared.

"Looks like you haven't been sneaking late-night snacks lately," Jiang Che teased.

"Of course! My buddy said he was determined to lose weight, how could he possibly sneak a bite?"

Wang Kai chuckled, then moved closer to Jiang Che and, like a primary school student showing off an Ultraman card, placed his weight record from his phone in front of Jiang Che.

"Brother Che, you have no idea! I stepped on the scale yesterday, and guess what? I'd lost a whole ten pounds! Ten pounds!"

"Running three kilometers used to feel like it was going to kill me, but now I can run five kilometers in one go without even breaking a sweat."

Jiang Che carefully examined the weight record on Wang Kai's phone and saw that the curve representing the trend of weight change showed a very smooth downward trend over the past few days, starting from the highest point on the far left.

"You're pretty good, kid."

Seeing that his good friend was really putting in the effort to lose weight, Jiang Che patted the kid on the shoulder with great pleasure. Sure enough, his goading tactic from a few days ago was quite effective.

"Dude, I'm not bragging. If you keep this up, after the college entrance exam, you'll be the Eddie Peng of Lincheng."

Jiang Che hooked his arm around Wang Kai's neck and exaggeratedly said, "By then, not only will the class monitor be lining up, but all the beauties in Lincheng will be lining up to ask for your WeChat. How will you have to worry about not being able to find a girlfriend?"

"That's a must! But I'll skip the other beauties, I only need my Yao Yao."

Wang Kai puffed out his chest, chuckled twice, then, as if remembering something, his expression suddenly became awkward. "Um... Brother Che, I have something else to say."

"uh-huh?"

"Yaoyao and I... have added each other on WeChat."

When Wang Kai said this, his face turned as red as a monkey's bottom, and his hands were clasped together, looking exactly like a young man in love.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che raised an eyebrow slightly: "Tsk tsk tsk, you little rascal, tell me, how was the chat?"

"You know what, we actually get along quite well!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Kai immediately became less reserved, his eyes lighting up. "Yao Yao has a really great personality, and she speaks very gently."

"We talked about a lot of things, from which food stall in the school cafeteria was the best, to studying, to the latest movies, we talked about everything."

"And you know what the best part is? She also really loves cats!"

Wang Kai became visibly emotional as he spoke, "I have a British Shorthair at home, so I sent her a picture, and she said she especially loves small pets like cats and dogs!"

"And then...and then we made a promise."

"What did you agree to?"

"We agreed to go to a cat cafe downtown to pet the cats after training this afternoon!"

After Wang Kai finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Che expectantly, as if waiting for praise.

Jiang Che was truly shocked. He felt that the fact that the two of them could add each other on WeChat and chat was already a huge step forward.

And now this guy is telling him that the two of them are going on a date?

As expected, the relationship guru lived up to his name; having theoretical knowledge and practical experience is always better than having none.

At least you can get ahead of others in the practical stage.

"Wow, you're pretty good, kid. I didn't realize you were this awesome!"

Jiang Che was genuinely happy for his brother, and while laughing, he reached out and punched him in the chest. "Do your best this afternoon. Remember why you asked her out. Don't just sit there petting the cat. Take care of the girl."

"If someone wants a drink of water, go buy it for them first; if they're sweating, offer them tissues first. You have to learn to anticipate what's going on, understand?"

Wang Kai stuffed his phone back into his pocket and nodded vigorously. "Don't worry, Che-ge. I specifically looked up information last night for our trip to the cat cafe this afternoon. I even wrote down which cat treats are most popular with cats at which cafe."

"But Brother Che..." Wang Kai paused, scratching his head somewhat helplessly, "I'm a little worried that if I act too deliberately and it backfires, what should I do?"

Whether it's deliberate or not depends on where your mind is.

Jiang Che put his hands behind his back, slowly turned around to face away from Wang Kai, and deliberately pretended to be a reclusive master, saying slowly, "If you're thinking about how to show off, you'll definitely be stiff."

"But if you really want to make her happy, your actions will naturally fall into place."

Upon hearing this, Wang Kai suddenly seemed to have a breakthrough, nodding in understanding. "I get it, Brother Che! As long as Yao Yao is happy, I'd be happy to be a cat tree!"

The two were discussing the details of their afternoon date at the cat cafe when, under the streetlights not far away, two familiar figures approached from afar.

Liu Zhenguo was still wearing a gray tracksuit, and Liu Mengyao followed behind him, wearing a light purple fitted sports top, her long hair tied into a high ponytail, swaying gently behind her head.

Since Jiang Che was standing facing the road, he quickly noticed the two people walking towards him.

So he quickly reminded Wang Kai, and then took the initiative to step forward and head towards Liu Zhenguo and Liu Mengyao.

Upon approaching the two men, Jiang Che first sized up Liu Zhenguo.

The old man was in good spirits, exuding a decisive and efficient demeanor, showing no signs of fatigue from his long journey.

Wang Kai followed behind Jiang Che. Just a second ago, he was confidently promising Jiang Che his performance that afternoon, but now, standing in front of Liu Mengyao, that confident aura vanished completely.

I felt awkward about where to put my hands, and I didn't know where to look. My body even stiffened a bit.

"Good morning, Grandpa Liu. Good morning, Class Representative." Jiang Che greeted the two with a smile.

"Hehe, good morning, Xiao Jiang, long time no see."

Liu Zhenguo smiled and nodded at him, then his gaze fell on Wang Kai next to him.

Seeing this, Jiang Che remembered that this was the first time the two had met, so he took the opportunity to introduce him: "Grandpa Liu, this is my childhood friend and brother, Wang Kai, whom I told you about."

Then he turned to Wang Kai and said, "Wang Kai, this is the student committee member's father, and also the commander-in-chief of our Lincheng Military Region, Commander Liu Zhenguo."

Wang Kai visibly became more nervous, and even stuttered a little when he spoke, "Hello, Grandpa Liu, no, Commander Liu."

He was genuinely nervous, after all, the person standing in front of him was Liu Mengyao's father, and also the top leader of the Lincheng Military Region!

If he really starts dating Liu Mengyao in the future, wouldn't Liu Zhenguo be his father-in-law?
