Episode 1 - Bok Joo Jun Hyung met for the first time. They didn’t know each other until they fought

The training hall was full of weightlifters. Our heroine, 21-year-old Kim Bok-joo, is also there. People always ask her why she lifts weights. When Kim Bok-joo was 10 years old, she started weightlifting with her father. She was very interested in barbells at that time, and she was thinking that I would also like to lift weights in the future. In this way, Jin Bozhu became a weightlifter, with countless calluses on his hands. Now, she is about to take the stage to challenge her third clean and jerk. I saw her bending down and raising her hips, lifting the barbell over her shoulders in one movement. She won! At this moment, Kim Bok-joo's father was watching TV and saw his daughter's glorious moment. In the swimming pool, the 35th Presidents Cup men's swimming competition is underway. Zheng Junheng from the Sports University is our hero, taking the lead. He won the first place in the preliminaries. The swimming finals began, and the swimmers were already in their places. Zheng Junheng suddenly felt dizzy. He started off first, causing a huge mistake. Jin Bozhu is training hard and listening to the coach's earnest instructions. She was very lively and cute while taking a break, discussing the menu with her teammates. Weightlifters were sent to move tables and chairs because of their strength, and everyone complained about this. Weightlifters have never been regarded as weak girls, unlike girls in rhythmic gymnastics who are always taken care of by everyone. Kim Bok-joo was tripped by a provocative gymnast girl and was in a panic. The depressed Jin Bozhu and his teammates were walking on campus when they happened to encounter Zheng Junheng riding a bicycle. The two of them couldn't avoid it and fell down. This was obviously an unpleasant meeting. Teammates told Kim Bok-joo that the handsome Jung Joon-hyung was a good swimmer, but Kim Bok-joo didn't care at all. Zheng Junheng came to the infirmary to check whether his leg had been injured. He suddenly found that something was missing. It was a handkerchief, which had actually been picked up by Jin Bozhu. The gymnastics team's clothes were missing, and they were suspected to have been taken by the weightlifting team. The two groups of girls have been stumbling together, and they are incompatible with each other. Zheng Junheng's senior accused him of not having a sense of teamwork and always making mistakes in the finals. As a result, Zheng Junheng contradicted him and left him speechless. In the ballroom, Zheng Junheng, who originally wanted to indulge and forget about his mistakes, was not used to being chatted by beautiful women. He ran back home and looked for a handkerchief everywhere, but to no avail. Kim Bok-joo's father came to the weight training gym and brought fried chicken to everyone, which made everyone happy. Zheng Junheng is diligently contacting swimming. In practice, he is always very good, but when it comes to the official competition, something will happen. Rather than spending time on manicures, Kim Bok-joo has always felt that showing your inner charm is the most important thing. Jin Bozhu suddenly found that the clothes she wore when she won the medal at the sports meeting were missing. She thought it was the girls on the gymnastics team who had tampered with it, so she ran over to settle the account. But none of the girls on the gymnastics team admitted that during the conflict, Kim Bok-joo accidentally pushed a girl to the ground, causing some minor injuries. Kim Bok-joo, who was criticized by the coach, was full of grievances, and her pitiful look made people feel heartbroken. Kim Bok-joo was drinking beer with her teammates on the rooftop. The three weightlifting girls were filled with indignation at this unfair treatment. Coming down from the rooftop, several girls were chased by the dormitory administrator and hid in the laundry room where the washing machine was placed. They unexpectedly found a man hiding in the laundry room. It turned out that all the clothes that had been lost these days had been stolen by this man. The man knew he had been discovered and ran away quickly.

Fuzhu went to the buffet with Zheng Junheng and Zheng Zaiyi. Seeing Zheng Zaiyi lovingly helping the children pick up food, Jin Fuzhu felt that this man was so warm. On the contrary, it was Zheng Junheng who kept making trouble throughout the meal, which made Fu Zhu extremely embarrassed. Zheng Junheng was very happy after catching Jin Bozhu. Swimming training is in progress. Because Zheng Junheng did not go to training yesterday, the coach punished him to clean the swimming pool. After cleaning, as soon as he walked out, he met Song Shihao and wanted to invite Zheng Junheng to eat pizza together. Zheng Junheng said that the relationship between people cannot be repaired and there is no disconnection. He never wants to eat pizza with Song Shihao again. It was precisely because I loved him too deeply that I felt so painful after being abandoned by my girlfriend. Now I no longer want to go back to the past. But Song Shi really didn't want to give up, and planned to insist on starting over with Zheng Junheng, and kept sending messages to Zheng Junheng. The school sports meeting has begun, and everyone is happily preparing for the game. Only Zheng Junheng sneaks into the game hall to play games because he hates carrying rice. Song Shihao also comes to the game hall and sits next to him. The coach was furious because of Jung Joon Hyung's absence and ordered his players to bring him back. The rice moving competition started, but Zheng Junhyung, the representative of the swimming team, did not come. Only one person came to compete in Zheng Junheng's place - Kim Bok-joo! It turned out that Jin Bozhu wanted to use this opportunity to help Zheng Junheng so that he would not hold on to her in the future. Since Kim Bok-joo is a weightlifter, moving rice is not a problem. Although it was very hard, he still helped the swimming team win the final victory. The scene where Kim Bok-joo gritted her teeth and persisted was witnessed by Zheng Junheng and Song Shihao who came over. Because Fuzhu helped the swimming team win first place, the weightlifting team lost the chance to win, which made the weightlifting teammates unhappy. It also made her good friends misunderstand that she did this because she liked Zheng Junheng. Zheng Junheng was very worried about Jin Bozhu, fearing that she would be regarded as a traitor in the weightlifting team. He came to talk to Jin Bozhu. Bozhu frankly admitted that he just liked Zheng Zaiyi, so he made up the words about cello major. In the dormitory, Song Shihao asked Jin Fuzhu why she helped Zheng Junheng participate in the competition, but Jin Fuzhu did not tell her the reason. At this time, she received concert tickets from Zheng Junheng to her and Zheng Zaiyi. Kim Bok-joo dressed up like a real lady and watched a concert with Zheng Zaiyi. When she saw a cello performer on the stage, Zheng Zaiyi asked Bok-joo if she could play like this. Jin Bozhu felt very happy and felt that she had met her true love.
