Chapter 435: After Losing Weight, You All Love Me (47)

Chapter 435: After Losing Weight, You All Love Me (47)

"Thank you all for the gifts, brothers!"

"Didn't lose, so no shame."

Facing the camera, Tang Qing tilted her head with a radiant smile. "Special shoutout to Idle Man Carrying Wine and A Chu for the 'Gift King'—love you~"

She flashed a heart-shaped hand gesture—an innocent move many female streamers make—but when Tang Qing blinked and gave a playful wink, every viewer felt their heart skip a beat.

"Ying ying ying! My waifu loves me most—she winked at me!"

"Dream Illusion Princess! My wife! She's absolutely perfect!"

"Am I the only one who noticed? Hehehe, two sponsors, but only one 'A Chu' bro! My wife must know Great Dream Awakening, right?"

A Chu.

That nickname sounded oddly affectionate.

On the other side of the screen, Lu Tongchu saw the comment. The usually stoic man couldn’t suppress a faint smile.

"System Alert: Detected an increase in Lu Tongchu’s affection value. Current affection value: 84 points."

The replay of Little Chubby Hands’ livestream surpassed 800,000 views overnight on Shanhe Tu’s 818 Forum!

"Dream Illusion Princess vs. Xu Xu’s Peak PK!"

"Shocking! Little Chubby Hands Is Actually a True Goddess!"

"Exposed! Xu Xu Had Plastic Surgery!"

Posts about these topics completely took over the front page of the 818 Forum.

After that night’s PK, Xu Xu had to face the consequences.

In front of thousands of viewers, she was forced to reveal all contacts labeled "cosmetic surgery" in her phone—and netizens quickly uncovered something suspicious.

Following the leads from her contact list, they traced one director’s publicly shared surgical case:

"Jawline Surgery Case: Ms. Xu…"

Xu Xu really had undergone surgery!

All along, she had claimed to be the internet’s first truly natural beauty—essentially, nothing but lies.

With so many top surgeons saved in her phone, it was impossible to believe she only consulted them casually.

"I heard Xu Xu’s fan group exploded last night. Her own fans reported her from within, and the supposedly unbreakable 'Xu Army' completely collapsed."

"Hahaha, the net’s one and only truly bare-faced beauty—weren’t they afraid of being exposed when they started using that title?"

"Let’s be real, the real bare-faced beauty should be Little Chubby Hands. Yesterday, with the camera right up close, no filters, poor lighting, and unflattering angles, she still looked stunning!"

…

No one expected the mysterious lucky charm and the Dream Illusion Princess were actually the same person!

The way everything unfolded was nothing short of spectacular!

As for those unlucky viewers in Little Chubby Hands' livestream chat, the thought that they had been casually joking around with the goddess for so long gave them a weird sense of pride!

Who says we're unlucky!

We just happened to stumble upon a plump koi, and it turned out to be the goddess's alternate account!

During this time, Tang Qing continued her daily routine of going downstairs to exercise.

Her weight had reached 110 pounds (50 kg), which, for her height of 168 cm (5'6"), was just perfect.

After such a long period of shaping and sculpting, the last bit of softness in Tang Qing's figure had disappeared.

Unlike the pale, skinny, youthful look favored by mainstream beauty standards, Tang Qing's physique was far from skinny and bony.

Her lines flowed smoothly from top to bottom—defined shoulders, defined abs, and a pair of incredibly long legs. Dressed in yoga attire, it was hard for her not to draw male attention.

After turning down the third man who tried to hit on her that day, Tang Qing glanced over at Lu Tongchu.

Sure enough, his expression had darkened!

Watching as Xing Zhe nearby was about to assist Tang Qing with her deadlifts, Lu Tongchu finally couldn't hold back any longer!

Stomping over with heavy, gloomy steps, Lu Tongchu wedged himself between the two like a blade—awkward, out of place, and forceful.

His first words were plainly insulting: "You're not strong enough."

Telling someone they're weak right in front of the person they like?

Salt in the wound!

Just as Xing Zhe was about to retort, Lu Tongchu pressed on with his attack, "Last time you spotted for me, you couldn't lift it."

He actually brought up the 100-kilogram bench press incident again!

Xing Zhe's face immediately fell.

Damn it, Tang Qing's neighbor was a weirdo!

After failing that bench press, he had secretly practiced at home for ages, even downing several extra tubs of whey protein powder!

But he still couldn't manage 100 kilograms…

Not being able to lift 100 kilograms made him feel like he was always at a disadvantage compared to Lu Tongchu.

What was even more infuriating was that, for days now, whenever he offered to assist Tang Qing, Lu Tongchu would bring up the 100-kilogram story again!

Extremely cheap shot!

A direct straight to the face!

"She doesn't need 100 kilograms now either…"

Xing Zhe was still trying to secure a chance to get closer to Tang Qing when Lu Tongchu spoke up again, "If you're not skilled enough, don't push it."

"You might get hurt and end up in the hospital."

Xing Zhe lost it! He raised his voice angrily, "Who are you saying isn't skilled enough?"

Lu Tongchu: "You."

"You're not as strong as I am."

Subtext: Deadlifts aren't your thing.

Like swatting a fly, Lu Tongchu completely crushed Xing Zhe's intentions. Before driving Xing Zhe away, Lu Tongchu added, "Hit the gym more."

"My current deadlift max is 160."

No way!

With his frame, he can actually pull 160!

Considering his own current deadlift level, even if he trained for ten more years starting now, he probably still wouldn't surpass Lu Tongchu.

Xing Zhe could only back off grudgingly, forced back by Lu Tongchu...

After the workout, Xing Zhe suddenly pulled out a gift.

It was a ukulele.

With a cute design any girl would instantly love, Xing Zhe said awkwardly: "I happened to see this ukulele the other day... it sounds... pretty good."

"I rearranged the song 'Ridge Line,' and this is the ukulele version tabs."

"If you're interested, I... could teach you."

As he said this, a noticeable blush spread across Xing Zhe's face.

Giving a ukulele as a gift was the band manager's idea.

If Tang Qing really wanted to learn, it would create more opportunities to spend time together under the pretense of teaching...

"Oh really?"

Taking the gift from Xing Zhe, Tang Qing casually strummed the ukulele strings, producing a few pleasant sounds.

Pretending it was her first time encountering such an instrument, Tang Qing sounded excited as she deliberately changed the subject: "I heard ukuleles are relatively easy to learn."

Xing Zhe: "It's indeed simpler, a beginner instrument."

"With only four strings, it's easier compared to a guitar's six."

Perhaps still embarrassed about the earlier 100kg bench press, Xing Zhe was showing off deliberately.

Right in front of Lu Tongchu, Xing Zhe began playing "Ridge Line."

The catchy, rhythmic notes filled the room. Xing Zhe simply sat there quietly, the music giving him this glow. Combined with his good looks, it was truly...

hard not to be attracted to this version of Xing Zhe.

After finishing the performance, Xing Zhe, like a kid looking for praise, looked right at Tang Qing!

Noticing that Tang Qing had been watching him the whole time, a secret happiness surged through him!

"System Alert: Detected increase in Xing Zhe's affection value. Current affection value: 79 points."
