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

"I understand the reasoning, Grandpa Liu, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Jiang Che was not the kind of reckless man who only knew how to act bravely. Since he knew that the other party had come prepared, he would naturally take precautions.

……

On the morning of the marathon.

As dawn broke, Jiang Che woke up from his sleep.

Due to his long-standing biological clock and subconscious vigilance, he wakes up very early.

But there were others who woke up even earlier than him.

Jiang Che rubbed his eyes, still half asleep, and pushed open the bedroom door. As soon as he stepped out of the room, an incredibly rich aroma of meat wafted into his nostrils, causing his stomach to rumble loudly.

He walked into the restaurant with some doubt, but the scene in front of him made him gasp and stare in astonishment.

The large solid wood dining table was densely packed with plates.

Braised pork ribs, steamed sea bass, pan-fried chicken breast, braised beef, and even a bowl of mutton soup with chili oil floating on top...

It's practically a mini meat exhibition hall.

The air was filled with a mouthwatering, yet slightly greasy, aroma of food that was almost too rich.

Su Qinghe was wearing an adorable apron with a bear pattern and carrying the last plate of grilled steak as she walked out of the kitchen.

She got up much earlier than Jiang Che today, and a fine bead of sweat could be seen on her delicate, fair face, caused by her busy work and the heat of the flames.

Most of her hair was clipped back, but a few stray strands still clung to her fair and rosy cheeks, making her look exceptionally sweet and endearing.

At the same time, there is also a very strong... sense of being a married woman.

But what was even more obvious was the extreme tension and deep worry that she couldn't hide in her eyes.

"Ah Che, you're awake..."

Upon seeing Jiang Che, Su Qinghe quickly placed the steak she was holding on the table and ran over to him like she was presenting a treasure. She grabbed his arm, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Sit down and eat, I've been preparing this for so long..."

Jiang Che looked at the table full of greasy, hearty dishes, and his eyes twitched violently twice.

After eating all this, he probably won't need to run a marathon anymore.

Let's just go straight to the national highway and challenge the Universiade.

He wasn't deliberately making things up; it's just that this meal was a bit too heavy...

Even if the Universiade comes, he will still be able to fly several miles away.

"No... Qinghe," Jiang Che swallowed, pointed at the table, and said with a wry smile, "Are we eating something this lavish for breakfast so early in the morning? Who eats braised pork ribs and roast beef for breakfast?"

Su Qinghe looked up at him, her beautiful eyes filled with seriousness and heartache. Her voice was soft and sweet as she said in a coquettish tone, "Today is a special day. You're going to run a marathon, such a long road, more than forty kilometers. If you don't eat more meat, how will you be able to run it later..."

"I heard that high-protein foods are the best way to replenish energy, so I went to the market yesterday to buy a lot of fresh meat."

"Ah Che, you have to eat more today, I won't feel at ease until you're full..."

Seeing her anxious and possessive expression, as if she wanted to give him all the good things, Jiang Che's heart instantly melted, feeling warm and comforted.

This little girl braved the heavy smell of cooking oil and worked in the kitchen all morning for him. How could he refuse such wholehearted love?

If he were to refuse without any mercy, what difference would he make from an animal?

Let's just elbow the concrete floor from the 30th floor.

"Okay, okay, I'll eat it. My little cook spent all morning making this loving breakfast, how could I not eat it?"

Jiang Che smiled and ruffled her fluffy head, then sat down at the dining table with Su Qinghe and began to eat heartily.

Although eating so much meat so early in the morning was a bit greasy, Jiang Che still managed to stuff most of it into his mouth.

After all, this is the love that his future wife has for him.

Let alone ribs, he would swallow poison with a smile.

After eating and drinking his fill, Jiang Che felt full of energy.

After quickly packing up, the two left home and took a taxi to the Lincheng Marathon venue.

Because Lincheng hasn't hosted such a large-scale national event for many years, the city center stadium was packed with people today.

Colorful flags fluttered in the wind, and a huge hot air balloon with a banner hung in the air.

Everywhere you look, there are athletes warming up, security guards maintaining order, and citizens watching the excitement.

The cacophony of voices and rhythmic, dynamic music soared into the sky.

Jiang Che held Su Qinghe's soft little hand tightly and used his body to shield her from the crowded flow of people.

The two struggled through the bustling crowd and finally managed to squeeze into the contestants' designated preparation area.

"Brother Che! Brother Che! Over here! Look here!"

As soon as the two stepped inside, they heard a very familiar and powerful shout.

Jiang Che turned his head in the direction of the sound and saw Wang Kai standing in the shade below the stands, jumping up and down and waving at him.

Standing next to Wang Kai were Liu Mengyao, dressed in a refreshing sporty short skirt, and Liu Zhenguo, who stood there with a serious expression, wearing a black jacket and with his hands behind his back.

Clearly, they were all there today as a support group to cheer on Jiang Che.

Jiang Che led Su Qinghe over quickly, greeting them with a smile: "Uncle Liu, Wang Kai, Class Representative, you're here so early!"

"Of course! How could I not be early? This is your first official marathon ever, buddy! I have to be here to support you!"

Wang Kai chuckled, then glanced at Su Qinghe, who was clinging tightly to Jiang Che, with some surprise. "Sister-in-law... cough cough, Su Qinghe is here to keep you company too?"

Liu Mengyao smiled and nodded at Su Qinghe, then handed the two of them two unopened bottles of sports drinks.

Su Qinghe simply nodded slightly, as if to say hello.

Although Wang Kai and the others were all acquaintances, Su Qinghe still categorized them as outsiders.

So when facing them, although she didn't have the aloof demeanor of a cold, icy school beauty like she did in school, she wasn't exactly easygoing either.

After exchanging greetings, Su Qinghe continued to play the role of a boneless little accessory, sticking tightly to Jiang Che's side and refusing to leave for even a moment.

After Jiang Che and Wang Kai chatted for a while, it was already about half an hour before the start of the match.

The athletes have begun to head towards the starting line to prepare.
