Chapter 92 Even Sports Students Suffer
And not just dance students.
The treadmills in the gym were humming.
Zhao Gang came down from the track, panting heavily. His vest was completely soaked and clung to his bulging chest muscles.
Beads of sweat rolled down his skin, glistening under the light.
He lifted the hem of his vest, wiped his face haphazardly, and then poked his once sharply defined abs with his fingers. Now, they felt noticeably softer and the outlines were blurred.
"Holy crap, this is weird!"
Zhao Gang turned his head and yelled at Liu, the gym owner who was also wiping his sweat next to him, his voice filled with frustration.
"Brother Liu, look at this! Back when we had our physical fitness test at the beginning of the semester, my abs were so defined you could use them as a washboard! And now, in such a short time, they're practically one big muscle! I haven't slacked off on my training at all! I've even added heavier weight plates than last semester!"
Liu was holding up his phone, grinning at the front-facing camera, checking if the lines of his chin had become rounder.
Hearing Zhao Gang complain, he put down his phone, turned around, and slapped Zhao Gang on the thick back with a crisp "smack".
"How dare you say that?"
Big Liu glared at Zhao Gang, his finger almost poking Zhao Gang's nose. "You little brat, you come here every day and huff and puff, lifting weights for two hours straight, sweating like it's raining. Then, as soon as you step out of this door, turn right! Head straight for window number 07 in the cafeteria! Don't think I didn't see you!"
He started listing off on his fingers: "Pig's trotter soup, two bowls minimum! Rice noodle rolls, by the plate! Rabbit heads, you'll get your hands covered in chili oil, and I could hear the slurping of bones from across the street! And then, you have to have that mint jelly, just to fill the gaps!" You call that filling the gaps? That's like stuffing in another calorie bomb!
As Liu got angrier, he tugged at the sleeve of his tight vest, trying to show off his once-defined, now slightly rounded biceps: "Look at this! Look at my workplace injury! It's all thanks to Boss Wang's 'hard-core' meals, fed to me bite by bite! Do you know how hard it is for me to run a gym? The muscles my customers build up aren't even covered by fat as fast!"
Zhao Gang's dark face flushed slightly from the criticism, and he stubbornly defended himself: "Well—after training, I was starving, my stomach was churning like thunder! I couldn't stand not eating! Besides, Boss Wang's food is so delicious! It's irresistible! Who could resist that smell?"
He scratched his short, shaved head in frustration. "I can't possibly starve myself to train every day just for a few abs, can I? That's not practical! It's pointless!"
"Can't handle it? Then don't train!"
Da Liu snorted irritably, but then his eyes darted around, and a mysterious smile crept across his otherwise fierce, muscular face. He leaned closer to Zhao Gang and whispered, "But—I think your path to depravity is nearing its end."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Gang's eyes lit up suddenly, like a starving dog seeing a bone.
A hint of pride appeared on Da Liu's face, and he lowered his voice even further: "Boss Wang was prepared all along!"
"Weight-loss meal!"
"Boss Wang said it should be called 'Exquisite Four-Flavor Delight'." Low-fat, low-calorie, high-protein, and most importantly—

He emphasized, "The taste is absolutely just as good as their main dishes! I've already tried it, and I immediately told Boss Wang that once he makes it, we'll do a tasting promotion at my gym first, as a way to give the members some benefits!"
"A weight-loss meal? And—it can taste good?"
Zhao Gang's first reaction was exactly the same as Da Liu's at the time, his face clearly saying, "Are you fucking kidding me?"
The fear of being dominated by healthy meals during summer vacation instantly surged up—the boiled chicken breast was as dry as firewood, the broccoli and lettuce leaves made his cheeks ache from chewing, and his mouth tasted bland.
"nonsense!"
Big Liu patted his chest, making a loud thud, "Boss Wang said it himself, how could it be false? I reckon it should officially go on sale in the next couple of days, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after! You just wait and see!"
The doubt on Zhao Gang's face melted away like ice melting in the sun, replaced by a huge, almost ecstatic anticipation.
He suddenly pulled out his phone, his fingers swiping rapidly across the screen, and opened the school's largest anonymous forum, "Jinda Talking Area".
He took a deep breath and typed a line of large characters in the post title bar:
[Breaking News! A lifesaver for sports and dance students! Boss Wang at window number 07 is about to unleash his ultimate weapon: the "Exquisite Four-Flavor Fat-Lowering Meal"! Low in calories and high in protein, its taste rivals any hearty dish! Mom no longer needs to worry about me gaining weight from late-night snacks! The battle to protect your abs and defined waistline has officially begun!]
In the main body of the post, he racked his brains, writing down everything he had heard from Da Liu, plus his own boundless anticipation: "Brothers! Sisters! I just got top-secret firsthand information from Boss Liu of Life Fitness Gym! Boss Wang's personally developed mysterious weight-loss meal, 'Exquisite Four-Flavor Delight,' is about to be launched! It's the ultimate cure for those of us who can't control our cravings, can't resist delicious food, but cry every day in front of the scale and our flabby bellies—the ultimate contradiction!"
"According to reliable sources (Boss Liu himself said he's tasted it!), the konjac noodles in this set meal are mixed with Boss Wang's exclusive secret method to bring out the freshness, sweetness, and crispness of seafood, and the calories are negligible! The other dishes are a secret for now, but considering Boss Wang's skill in making xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), spicy rabbit heads, and brown sugar ice jelly—which he says tastes just as good as the main dishes—can you believe it? Boss Liu swears on his soon-to-disappear abs that the taste is absolutely explosive!"
"Expected to launch soon, stay tuned to the official announcement at window 07 for the specific time! Dance department sisters, sports department brothers, and all you foodies who want to eat heartily but don't want a spare tire! Polish your meal cards! Our spring may really be coming! No more having to gnaw on tasteless fitness meals while crying your eyes out! We look forward to Boss Wang saving our taste buds and figures!"
As soon as the post was published, Zhao Gang nervously refreshed the page.
A few seconds later, the first reply appeared: "First! Really? Boss Wang is going to enter the weight loss industry?"
Following closely: "OP, you're from the sports academy, right? I totally agree! My abs are almost there too!"
"Dance department student passing by — if it's really delicious, I'd call Boss Wang a god forever!"
"Squatting! Passing window number 07 on my way to the cafeteria every day is the ultimate test of willpower!"
"Low-calorie and delicious? That doesn't comply with the law of conservation of energy! But I hope Boss Wang can break that rule!"
"Konjac noodles taste like jellyfish? That's something—marking this, kick me if you don't like it."
"Boss Liu's abs are practically a workplace injury; that statement is 10086% credible!"
"I've bookmarked this post and am eagerly awaiting its release. Please remember to update it, OP!"
The replies surged, and the likes jumped rapidly. Zhao Gang looked at the screen, grinned, and revealed a set of white teeth.
