"Jiang He, what's wrong with you???"

"What do you mean, Jiang He???"

"Jiang He, are you afraid I won't pay you back, or do you look down on me? You actually kept track of the debt? Do you still consider me a brother???"

Even through the screen, Jiang He could feel Lu Nian's flustered and embarrassed expression.

very good.

Seeing my enemy makes me feel good.

Jiang He deliberately didn't reply to his message, just leaving him hanging.

He casually tossed his phone onto the sofa, ignoring the fact that Lu Nian was at a loss, feeling both embarrassed and anxious as he received no reply.

Then a series of messages came in.

Jiang He stretched and looked at her own thin figure through her reflection in the glass.

Thinking back to when I went back to my neighborhood, there seemed to be a fairly large gym right across from it.

So, I picked up my phone and keys, ready to head out to the gym.

If it's suitable, I'll get a membership card and exercise properly.

He is still too thin and his height is not ideal.

While you're still 18 and have the chance to develop again, you should eat well, take good care of your health, and also exercise more.

You need to be at least 180cm tall and have a well-defined eight-pack.

I bought a six-month gym membership and a one-on-one personal trainer course.

Under the coach's guidance, Jiang He practiced for more than an hour, sweating profusely.

The feeling of pushing your body to its limits and sweating profusely can be described as a bittersweet experience.

After a training session, Jiang He's mood, which had been depressed because of Lu Nian, improved considerably.

The gym is right across from the apartment complex, very close by. Jiang He isn't used to showering in public bathrooms, so she simply goes home to shower.

After taking a refreshing shower, Jiang He dried her hair, changed into comfortable and soft pajamas, and it was already completely dark.

I slumped on the sofa, lazily scrolling through my phone.

Lu Nian sent more than ten messages, but still didn't receive a reply from Jiang He.

She left him with the question, "Jiang He, what do you mean?" and then stopped sending messages.

He was clearly enraged and embarrassed.

Jiang He's lips curled up, she opened the chat box, and slowly replied with an "Oh".

Then, regardless of what Lu Nian said, he immediately replied with a bunch of question marks, asking what he meant.

How many questioning messages were sent?

They didn't reply to a single word until the other party got really impatient and sent a video call invitation.

He slowly declined the video call invitation, replying, "If you insist on thinking this way, there's nothing I can do."

Could it be that they don't want to pay back the money?

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and it kept showing that the other party was typing... but no message came through.

Clearly, Lu Nian's defenses had been breached.

But I don't know why he suddenly became difficult to talk to and his attitude became so bad.

If Lu Nian still can't see that Jiang He is just playing him and forcing him to pay back the money, then he's a fool.

That person must have typed a lot of hurtful and abusive language.

But in the end, she couldn't come over. She probably still had a sliver of reason left, knowing she still needed him as bait to keep Lulu hanging on, and couldn't afford to turn against him. So she deleted everything.

Finally, a full ten minutes passed.

Finally, there was a reply.

It was a long, emotionally charged essay that began with him picking up Jiang He's shoes and how the two became friends, recounting the depth of their brotherhood.

Jiang He said those words, and it hurt him deeply.

It's too long. Jiang He said it's too long to read.

I scrolled straight to the end, and regardless of what was written there, I only replied with one sentence.

"It's okay, just pay me back."

This further provoked Lu Nian.

The other party is typing... The other party is typing...

After being prompted for a long time, Lu Nian finally broke down and didn't reply with a single word.

There's no need to make a video call; based on Jiang He's understanding of Lu Nian, she can imagine Lu Nian's current state of impotent rage.

That was awesome!

Jiang He smiled and, in a good mood, prepared to log out of WeChat and order takeout for dinner.

I saw a red +1 in the WeChat contacts section, indicating a new friend request.

Upon clicking, I was surprised to find it was Jiang Muyun, and I wanted to add him as a friend.
