Beijing Zanren

"I think it looks perfectly normal now!"

Wu Ke's cheeks were only slightly redder than usual, so Chu Chen felt there shouldn't be any problem.

Even after hearing Chu Chen say that, Wu Ke still felt uneasy. She went to check herself in the mirror, and only after she was satisfied did she help carry the gifts Chu Chen had brought downstairs with him.

"Keke, when I hugged you just now, I felt like you'd gotten a lot thinner than you were before coming to Britain!" Chu Chen said with some heartache as they walked. He understood why Wu Ke had lost so much weight—it was simply because her studies had been too demanding.

"Thin? I think I'm fine!" At that, Wu Ke remembered something. She patted Chu Chen's arm and said, "Let me tell you, stop putting delicious food in front of me to tempt me in the future. You have no idea—after I came back this time, I found that quite a few of my clothes didn't fit anymore. I almost got called a fat woman by Mina..."

Wu Ke was exaggerating somewhat. She had merely been thinner than Mina before, which allowed her to wear some pretty clothes. She had always felt rather smug about that. Now that Mina saw those clothes no longer fit her, she had teased Wu Ke a few times, and Wu Ke had been brooding over it ever since.

Chu Chen said, "Well... girls shouldn't be too thin. Looking like a bag of bones isn't attractive, and it can affect your health too!"

Wu Ke rolled her eyes at him. "What do you know? I'm telling you, when we go back, stop putting delicious food in my bowl, or you'll be sorry!"

Seeing this, Chu Chen merely smiled and said nothing more.
