Lu Lijun looked back at Jake as if saying, handle your guy first.
Jake could only frown and warned Noah as Noah was at fault, "No messing around when you are working out."
"Yeah, your highness," Noah continued running, ignoring how serious Jake was.
The other three said nothing, but they knew what was going on and again preferred to ignore them.
After running, the six went to the other activities areas where various gyming machines were kept. They occupied the different strengthening machines. Lu Feng, Lu Lijun, and Jake sat in one row while others sat facing them, to use the different machines according to their comfort.
Like this, they could talk and workout too. Suddenly, at the same moment, Lu Feng, Lu Lijun, and Jake pulled out their T-shirts as they were sweaty, and the clothes were a hindrance in pulling down the weights belt behind the head and shoulders.
The two pretty and young women exercising nearby came to them. One of them commented as she looked at Lu Feng, "You have a nice body."
Lu Feng didn’t want to talk while Jiang Yang found the chance to have fun.
"My darling works out religiously so he can make me happy later. You know what I mean," Jiang Yang passed a suggestive wink at the young woman.
Understanding the underlying meaning, both of them looked at Lu Feng in disbelief.
Lu Feng spoke, "I have to, or it’s hard to please him with less stamina," as he continued pulling the weights on the back of his head and shoulders,
The others smiled, looking at how these two were making up the things to get rid of the woman.
"Both of you look good together," one woman said, smiling lightly.
The other looked at Lu Lijun, who was busy doing his work, not paying attention to them.
"And he?" she asked Jiang Yang and looked back at Lu Lijun.
"He has that handsome guy who is sitting beside him," Jiang Yang signaled them to look at Jake.
CLANG!! CLANG!!
There was a sudden noise as Jake and Lu Lijun both let go of the weight belt from their hand, which they were pulling behind their shoulder, resulting in all the weight plates dropped down along the center rod fixed in it.
It was an obvious reaction from the cold young men, as Jiang Yang linked them together.
Lu Lijun and Jake looked at each other in disbelief as if the both screamed internally- No way. This can’t be.
Before the two could react to deny it, Noah spoke, smiling ear to ear, "They look good together. Look at the hot bodies."
Hearing it, Jake tightened his fists. Lu Lijun wanted to say it was not the truth, but before that, the ladies spoke, "Then the other two must be together too," she referred to Noah and An Tian.
The two women felt excited seeing six handsome men, and they were the couples.
"Ohh, then are you two into women?" One woman asked, feeling hopeful.
Before An Tian could answer, Noah, got up and went to the ladies, "Of course we like only pretty women. Am I right, brother An Tian?"
An Tian nodded. "Hmm!"
Noah smiled at the two young women, "By the way do you need any help? I mean with your workout?" and pulled out his sweaty T-shirt.
The women realized, not those three, but this one had an amazing body too and nodded immediately.
"I think I would have pulled it out earlier," Noah threw his T-shirt where he was sitting and followed the two women.
Jake stood up and went to where the punching bag hung.
Everyone looked at the fierce Jake.
"May God bless the soul of that punching bag," An Tian commented, knowing how angry his brother must be.
Lu Lijun looked at both his friends and sighed. It was nothing new for him, so he preferred to focus on his things.
"Why don’t you do something for them, An Tian?" Jiang Yang asked, and Lu Feng too waited for his reply.
"We should leave such things on them to decide," An Tian commented.
Jiang Yang agreed, "True. Also, it looks one-sided."
"Who knows?" An Tian commented and looked at Lu Lijun, "You are their friend. What do you think, Lu Lijun?"
"Both are idiots," Lu Lijun stood up and went to another section of the gym.
The three friends were in three different spots instead of being together.
Seeing them, Jiang Yang spoke, "These three are not as simple as us."
"I told you already," said An Tian.
Lu Feng looked at his younger brother and sighed, "Seems like things would be out of hand soon."
"What do you mean, Lu Feng?" Jiang Yang asked.
"You know how stubborn Lu Lijun can be," Lu Feng said, though he didn’t let Jiang Yang know the underlying meaning of his words.
"These kids should know they should be together when they can or who knows what will happen one day," Jiang Yang spoke as he stopped working out and sat quietly.
Lu Feng and An Tiang understood what he meant. An Tian patted his shoulder while Lu Feng spoke, "They will understand soon. Let them take time."
Jiang Yang, who was in a teasing and fun mood while ago, looked serious. "I wonder if Lu Qiang was with us at the moment, how everything would be?"
"He would be shutting your shameless mouth with his savage and bold words," Lu Feng replied calmly.
"And he would have instructed me what kind of dresses he wanted for his wife and how convenient they should be for him. The shameless President Lu, I miss him too," An Tian added.
Jiang Yang nodded slightly, "I really miss it. Not a single day is there when I don’t think about how this or that would be if he were with us."
These three were immersed in the memories as the light smiles painted on their lips, but the eyes held the sadness of losing someone precious.
