Gan Yuan's female student's face showed a growing helplessness. Turning around, she looked at Gan Yuan with concern.
"Coach Gan, I..."
Gan Yuan stepped away from the fitness machine, her gaze sweeping past the sneering Barbara and settling on Annie's face.
When their eyes met, Annie's lips curved into an elegant smile.
"Miss Gan, if you can't do it, you might as well just admit defeat. Don't get hurt."
Trying to play mind games with her?
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Annie, but rest assured, even if I get hurt, I won't be asking you for medical expenses."
Gan Yuan walked slowly to the pull-up bar, looked up at the metal bar above, raised her hands, and on tiptoes, gripped the bar.
She took a light breath, tensed her arms, and her body gradually ascended. She completed a pull-up.
"Coach Gan, come on!" her student cheered, fists clenched, shouting encouragement. "Grip with both hands, be careful not to get hurt."
