"Ah, I can't do this anymore..." Xia Lu bent over, hands on her knees, gasping for air, "I really can't climb anymore, I'm so tired."
Jin Meng, walking ahead, turned around, "Miss, we haven't even reached halfway yet. Didn't you see that lady in high heels earlier? She was walking briskly, much faster than us. I bet she's almost at the summit by now, and look where you are."
"I really can't do this anymore..." Xia Lu wiped the sweat off her forehead and simply sat down on the steps, "Let me rest for a bit first."
Seeing her like this, Jin Meng took a bottle of water out of her backpack, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to her.
"You really need to improve your fitness. You hated exercise even back in college, and now you sit in the office all day. If you don't start moving, you're going to gain weight fast," she said, pinching Xia Lu's belly, "Look, it's all fat when I grab it."
