I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 43 I don't know... what kind of girl Zhou Heng likes.

Do you need me to give you a ride?

"No need, it's not dark outside yet, there's no need, I'm leaving!"

Tang Zhi stood at the door, saying goodbye to Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran.

She's been here all day, and it's already past four in the afternoon; it's time for her to go home.

Bye-bye, see you at school tomorrow!

Yin Mengran smiled and waved goodbye to her.

The thought of playing with Tang Zhi tomorrow and having her as a new friend made Yin Mengran very happy and excited.

Tang Zhi left, and Zhou Heng returned to his desk to continue studying.

He played for a long time and studied for a long time today, so he successfully balanced work and rest...

but...

Zhou Heng suddenly looked at his gym equipment and felt as if something was missing, an empty space in his heart.

I had enough time today; I studied and played, but I haven't exercised in almost a week.

Muscles are like that; if you don't train, you'll lose them. He even felt like he was starting to lose muscle.

"Ahem, let's exercise for a little while..."

Zhou Heng stood up and walked over there, preparing to practice for an hour or two.

Yin Mengran came out of the kitchen carrying washed fruit, just about to tutor Zhou Heng.

I saw him standing in the area with the exercise equipment, warming up...

"Eh--"

Yin Mengran's eyes widened, and she immediately became interested. She sat down quietly, ready to watch how Zhou Heng exercised.

This was the first time she had seen it, and she was very curious to know what kind of exercise Zhou Heng needed to maintain to build such a muscular physique.

After warming up, Zhou Heng picked up the two dumbbells.

Seeing how easily Zhou Heng picked it up, Yin Mengran was momentarily stunned.

Back when I was cleaning the house, just moving those two dumbbells almost killed me.

But now, looking at Zhou Heng picking it up, why does it seem so easy?

That one must weigh around 30 kilograms, right?

Then, Yin Mengran saw Zhou Heng begin training, starting with chest exercises.

Every time he did a bench press, the impressive chest muscles that came up made Yin Mengran stare wide-eyed!

For a fleeting moment, she also thought about how, back in middle school, she had told her friends that she didn't like muscular men.

I think that kind of fair-skinned, tall, and slender figure is quite attractive.

But now that she thinks about it, she realizes she was quite pretentious back then...

Zhou Heng's current physique made Yin Mengran's heart pound.

"call--"

After finishing his chest workout, he stood up, put down the dumbbells, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

He was sweating, and his collar was soaked.

His attention was solely focused on exercising, and he didn't even notice that Yin Mengran had been watching him.

For a fleeting moment, he even forgot that Yin Mengran was still in the house.

The next second, Zhou Heng took off his shirt...

"!!"

Yin Mengran's eyes widened, her pupils dilated slightly, and she immediately covered her mouth with her hand, her face filled with surprise.

She looked at Zhou Heng's strong physique and the clearly defined muscle lines.

He also maintains a very perfect body fat percentage; he has very little fat, is neither fat nor thin, and looks particularly beautiful!

At least in Yin Mengran's eyes, it was very beautiful.

Because at this moment, she didn't blink once, her eyes were fixed on Zhou Heng's body.

After finishing his chest workout, Zhou Heng started working on his back.

Each bent-over dumbbell row stimulated Zhou Heng's back muscles, seemingly making the lines more defined with each repetition.

Zhou Heng had his back to Yin Mengran, so she could see everything he did clearly.

She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't know what to do next, so she just sat there and watched silently.

After thoroughly working out his shoulders, abs, and arms, Zhou Heng finally put the dumbbells down.

He was already covered in sweat, but this exhilarating feeling made him feel particularly good.

I've been studying a lot lately, and my shoulders and lower back are really sore; it feels like I'm going to hunch over.

This workout made him feel much better.

"Uh?"

When Zhou Heng turned his head, he realized that Yin Mengran was sitting there, and that she was staring at his body...

"what..."

Yin Mengran also came to her senses, realizing that she had unknowingly been watching Zhou Heng until he finished his workout.

She quickly turned her head away, her face flushed, pretending that she had only seen it by accident...

After resting for a while, Zhou Heng went to take a shower to wash away the sweat.

Meanwhile, Yin Mengran went to Zhou Heng's training area, put the things back in their place, and tidied up briefly.

Even the ground was covered in Zhou Heng's sweat. Seeing this, Yin Mengran felt particularly admiration for Zhou Heng.

Despite the immense pressure of studying, he still manages to find time to exercise diligently; he deserves this physique!

After tidying up, Yin Mengran stared at the other equipment: exercise bikes, treadmills, and so on.

She should be able to use these too. She was thinking that maybe she should start exercising and working out.

Because today she saw a side of Tang Zhi's figure that she usually couldn't see under her school uniform.

Her firm skin and curvaceous figure were something she greatly admired; they were the result of exercise and were undeniably beautiful.

Now that she's become friends with Tang Zhi, I should definitely cater to her preferences, right?

Whether it's playing games or exercising, you should give it a try.

Otherwise, if Tang Zhi invites me to play games or go play basketball or something in the future...

If you can't keep up at all, you'll definitely regret not practicing more back then.

Furthermore, Zhou Heng had also said that spending too much time with Tang Zhi would damage his self-confidence, because she was excellent in every way.

Then I definitely need to work harder, at least to be like Zhou Heng, and to be better than Tang Zhi in at least one or two aspects, so that I won't be looked down upon.

"I wonder... what kind of girl Zhou Heng likes... is she the athletic type? Or does she prefer the more artistic type?"

Yin Mengran stepped onto the treadmill, muttering to herself.

She tried to find something in Tong Yining that attracted Zhou Heng, but she couldn't seem to find anything at all.

So the reason Zhou Heng pursued her for two years is probably because... Tong Yining appeared early on...

At that age when he was just beginning to experience romantic feelings, he met Tong Yining and fell in love with her; it was something he couldn't help but do.

The fact that Zhou Heng was able to pursue her for two years proves that he is very devoted. Otherwise, given Tong Yining's attitude, most people would have given up long ago. How could he have persisted for so long?

At this moment, Zhou Heng came out after showering and saw Yin Mengran standing on the treadmill, lost in thought.

"What's wrong? Do you want to exercise too?"
