As soon as Xu Ke arrived at the entrance, Chen Qiang and Lin Chu were already there.
"Qiang Zi, Lin Chu." Xu Ke approached with a smile to greet them.
"Haha, we haven't had a meal together in a long time..." Chen Qiang stepped forward and opened his arms to embrace Xu Ke.
Xu Ke gave Chen Qiang's shoulder a playful punch. "Not bad. Looks like you've been working out."
"Of course. You're a fitness instructor now. How could I call myself your friend if I didn't get in shape?" Chen Qiang raised an eyebrow.
"Stop showing off, you jerk..." Lin Chu laughed. "If it wasn't for that web series you landed, the one with the role that requires you to be fit, would you have ever set foot in a gym?"
The latter part of his sentence was in their provincial dialect. Lin Chu was from the provincial capital, where the term he used was a common insult meaning 'jerk.'
"You're just jealous," Chen Qiang said, ignoring Lin Chu.
