The journey back was even slower for the two of them; For Ren He, it didn't matter much. He maintained the same pace heading back as he had when they arrived. However, Jiang Haoyang was starting to struggle, "Wait for me!"
Ren He had been pushing them to build up their bodies for some time now. Over the past few months, Jiang Haoyang had slimmed down by more than 20 jin, transforming from a plump hopeful to genuinely handsome. However, their exercise regimen still wasn't enough. Ren He had no intention of making them muscle-bound; he only wanted them to strengthen their bodies and achieve a basic level of physical fitness.
But hiking ten kilometers of mountain road and then having to carry two buckets of water back - even if they were only a quarter full, that still added up to nearly twenty jin. Perhaps if Jiang Haoyang kept at it for another six months, he wouldn't find it so challenging.
But right now, his training was insufficient.
