Minal finally got the 10-minute rest she had been hoping for.
She climbed onto Instructor Chen's back, resting her hands on his shoulders, and that's when she realized that Instructor Chen was also drenched in sweat, his camouflage jacket soaking wet.
"Pu Sangzhi, how are you holding up?"
After hoisting Minal onto his back, Instructor Chen thoughtfully inquired about Pu Sangzhi's condition.
Of course, he had no intention of carrying Pu Sangzhi; he was just concerned.
"I'm okay, I can keep going," nodded Pu Sangzhi.
"As long as you can keep going, you're doing great!"
Instructor Chen offered her words of praise, then led them back to rejoin the group, still carrying Minal by his side.
The girls in the class glanced over, looking at Instructor Chen and Minal with a very curious gaze.
Even a few girls had covered their lips, snickering, their smiles revealing the misunderstanding in their eyes about the relationship between Instructor Chen and Minal.
