    Chapter 398: After I Lose Weight, You'll All Love Me (10)

    "Wow!"

    "How rude!"

    He kept calling her "fatty" over and over, and the system suddenly got annoyed. "Hmph! Tang Qing, ignore him!"

    "If he wants to find an Auntie, let him find one himself!"

    Suddenly fired up, the system declared:

    "Tang Qing!"

    "Since you don’t want to use props, I'm now importing the world’s most comprehensive data on healthy eating!"

    "From now on, I’ll plan your three meals a day! We’ll eat well, sleep well, and exercise well!"

    "Once we’ve lost weight…"

    "We’ll definitely make Xing Zhe eat our dust!"

    Best of all, just like today, wait until Xing Zhe’s eyes are red with tears, sobbing and begging Tang Qing to look back at him one more time!

    Hmph, what a jerk!

    Even though Tang Qing still weighs 186 pounds (about 84 kg) now, judging by her bone structure analysis, she’ll absolutely be a stunning beauty once she slims down!

    As if imagining a certain scene… the system’s core data involuntarily glitched again.

    As for Tang Qing, hearing the system keep saying "we," a faint smile curled at the corners of her plump lips, and she deliberately teased, "You seem to like me a lot lately?"

    She still remembered how in the first world, the system was desperate to sever our connection, even at the cost of its own existence…

    But now, it seemed the system had been nice quite a few times recently.

    Hearing Tang Qing’s words, the system, which had just been all fired up!

    As if its thoughts had been exposed, immediately shut up!

    Boo hoo hoo…

    If this kept up, it would feel like disappointing its master again!

    When the Auntie came to wipe the handrail, there was a little incident—it turned out the empty mineral water bottle Xing Zhe casually handed to the Auntie had a cap that said "Another Bottle Winner"!

    "Damn, haven’t seen one of these in years!"

    The pink-haired guy was just surprised. After being harassed by Gu Jiajia and dealing with that fatty’s gross, sticky sweat… his entire day of bad mood was instantly lifted by this bottle cap!

    After a moment’s thought, Xing Zhe still pocketed the "Another Bottle Winner" cap!

    System: Clueless guy! If it weren’t for Tang Qing, would you have scored this "Another Bottle Winner"?

    ……

    On the first day, Tang Qing kept her workout to forty minutes.

    This body was in terrible shape—even with the elliptical machine set to the lowest level and just a bit of resistance added, after forty minutes of walking, she was drenched in sweat!

    "Huff—"

    "Huff—"

    Sitting on the floor, regulating her breathing, Tang Qing thought for a moment and decided to post an update!

    "Day 1 of weight loss! Check-in!"

    The accompanying picture showed a pair of chubby little hands, fingertips slightly red, palms and backs sweaty—clearly just finished exercising.

    "The longest distance in the world... I’m waiting for your livestream, but you’re busy losing weight!"

    "Streamer, let me tell you a little secret—the koi fish in the pond look better the chubbier they are..."

    "Why are you losing weight, girl! All you need to do in this life is open golden eggs for me!"

    ...

    The hype kept building. As soon as Tang Qing updated her status, comments poured in!

    Tang Qing picked a few to respond to: "Bro, I’m losing weight so you’ll like me even more!"

    "I'm not really a koi! I just have a little bit of good luck, that’s all!"

    "Bro, there’s so much more I can do for you… like… making you like me."

    ...

    Her replies were even a bit corny, but surprisingly, netizens seemed to love it.

    If her hands were just a little slimmer or prettier, responses like these might have come off as from a 'green tea' type streamer scamming for money…

    But with her chubby hands in the picture, everyone on StarNet just saw her as a fun, meme-loving, chubby koi.

    Under the glow of her good luck aura, Tang Qing fit right in with her livestream audience:

    "How dare you! You actually have your eyes on winning this handsome guy’s affection!"

    "Girl, opening a golden egg is one thing, but talking about feelings? That’s just costly…"

    While she was still bantering with netizens, a top-tier VIP suddenly popped up in the livestream replies: "You’re at the gym?"

    Before Tang Qing could even see who sent it, the livestream chat lit up!

    "Oho! It’s the Maintenance Guy!"

    "Wow, so rare to see the 'Mountains and Rivers' master on StarNet today!"

    "I knew it—even the Maintenance Guy couldn’t resist our number one beauty of 'Mountains and Rivers'! He’s been quietly following the streamer!"

    ...

    It was actually Lu Tongchu.

    A bit surprised, Tang Qing even checked Lu Tongchu’s list of followed accounts—sure enough…

    The system showed that Lu Tongchu had followed her just yesterday.

    "Yep, the gym."

    "I'm too fat! I want to lose weight!"

    "Someone at the gym called me fat today!"

    In as cute a tone as possible, on the other side of the screen, Lu Tongchu just looked at Tang Qing's replies, her voice automatically playing in his head.

    The voice of his chubby neighbor was quite distinctive...

    Even now, he remembered it clearly.

    "Did someone call her that?"

    Sitting in front of the computer, Lu Tongchu muttered to himself.

    After pausing for just a second, his fingers flew across the keyboard.

    In front of Lu Tongchu was an entire wall of monitors.

    It looked just like the monitor wall in a security room, each silently playing different footage.

    Most of the information in this world was uninteresting to Lu Tongchu. He didn’t like going out and spent most of the day sitting in front of the computer.

    These split screens updated with daily news.

    Local, national, global…

    Only by watching these chaotic, noisy footage every day could he constantly remind himself that he was still truly living in this boring world…

    Soon, as he entered commands on the keyboard, among the massive array of footage, Lu Tongchu picked out Tang Qing immediately!

    The footage started from when she left home…

    It followed her all the way to the gym downstairs.

    Among all the muted monitors, only Tang Qing’s feed had audio!

    "Hello… I’d like to ask about membership…"

    "Okay, thank you."

    "Alright…"

    They were just the simplest, most ordinary conversation.

    Strangely…

    It was as if Lu Tongchu had discovered something for the first time. He even cranked up the surveillance audio, lightly tapping his fingers on the desk to the rhythm of Tang Qing’s voice…

    The disordered, irritating, constant restlessness he felt unexpectedly quieted down.

    He'd been right.

    This neighbor…

    Was unexpectedly to his liking.

    He stared unblinkingly at the person on the screen, when—

    A harsh, discordant voice suddenly rang out from the speakers!

    "Hey! Fatty!"

    Instantly—

    Lu Tongchu slammed the pause button!
