Husband of his girlfriend came early!? Had to run!

"Zha—Senior Zhang?" Bai Wenling uttered in a mix of confusion and disbelief.

Zhang Wei, now jogging comfortably alongside her, gave a casual nod, "Who else? But what brings you here?"

Bai Wenling paused, her eyes scanning Zhang Wei from head to toe.

She noticed several changes in him, not least his new hair color.

More perplexingly, why was he running around half-naked in the morning chill?

Despite the oddity, seeing his nonchalant demeanor made her respond with a slight awkwardness, "My hometown is in Xianghui. I've come to visit my parents."

Zhang Wei's face lit up with recognition. "Oh, right!" He remembered her mentioning her hometown when they all first met, a group that included Mo Yunxi, Xiong Mei, and Xie Meirong.

"And you? What's with the... getup?" she asked, her eyes flicking down to his bare chest and back up, puzzled by his unconventional jogging attire.
