Zhong Chufeng felt as if someone cut through his heart with a knife.
It was obviously him who had hurt her, but in the end, she was still comforting him with a smile on her face. She told him to not put the blame on himself and proceeded to take the blame.
At that moment, Zhong Chufeng felt like killing himself.
“Chufeng, hand me the bracelet.”
Tang Yuanyuan reached out her hand toward him. Her tender palm looked pale and fair, just like snow.
“I really like this New Year gift.”
Zhong Chufeng hesitated for a moment before placing the bracelet into her palm.
Tang Yuanyuan tightened her hold on the bracelet and smiled. “Chufeng, thank you for the New Year gift.”
Watching her smiling happily, Zhong Chufeng could only force a smile. “You’re welcome. I’m glad you like it.”
His hands clenched into a fist behind his back.
“Chufeng, I’ll head back now. Stop blaming yourself, okay? Someday, I will definitely be able to put this bracelet on.”
“Alright.”
Zhong Chufeng uttered with difficulty.
After Tang Yuanyuan left, Zhong Chufeng fisted his hands and threw punch after punch at the wall. His knuckles split open, but he didn’t feel any pain at all.
After all, what he did was like cutting Tang Yuanyuan’s heart with a knife, yet she continued to smile and reassure him that everything was fine.
Meanwhile, Tang Yuanyuan went back to her room and admired the bracelet by the window sill. The more she looked at it, the more beautiful she felt it was. Sadly, it didn’t fit her.
As Tang Yuanyuan thought of this, she was filled with determination.
I must work hard to lose weight, so I can wear the bracelet one day. By then, Chufeng will no longer blame himself like he did just now.
However, she felt that Chufeng seemed to be too kind to her.
Time flew when one was having fun. The time they spent in Snow Town passed quickly. As the four of them set off on their return journey, Tang Yuanyuan did not speak to An Qian, and An Qian did not provoke her too. As such, Tang Yuanyuan was really happy about it.
After Zhong Chufeng and An Qian were sent home, Yuchi Yishu and Tang Yuanyuan were the only ones left as they made their way back.
Just then, Yuchi Yishu’s phone rang.
“I think it’s my mother. You answer it.”
Yuchi Yishu took out his phone and passed it over to Tang Yuanyuan without even looking at it.
Tang Yuanyuan looked at the phone and saw that it was indeed Aunty Han calling.
“Hi, Aunty Han,” Tang Yuanyuan answered the call sweetly.
Han Muzi almost melted inside when she heard Tang Yuanyuan’s voice. “Are you on the way home?”
Han Muzi knew that they would be returning from their trip today, so after estimating their arrival time, she decided to give them a call to check in on them.
“Yup, we are about to reach home soon.”
“That’s good. You must be tired after your trip. Make a trip here. Let me take a look at you.”
“Sure.”
After she hung up, Tang Yuanyuan told Yuchi Yishu. “Yishu, I’ll be following you home.”
She initially wanted to head home, but since Aunty Han had asked, she’d better make a trip to meet her first.
“Okay.”
As they reached Seabay Villa, Tang Yuanyuan was about to get out of the car when Yuchi Yishu’s phone vibrated. She glanced at it and realized it was a text.
‘Happy New Year. Although you’re still unwilling to meet me, I will wait until the day you are willing to accept me.’
She read the whole message at a glance. Realizing that it was rude to do so, she immediately locked the phone.
She raised her head to find that Yuchi Yishu had opened the car door for her. “Come on out.”
Tang Yuanyuan shoved the phone into Yuchi Yishu’s hand as she got out of the car. “Yishu, someone sent you a text. I didn’t mean to read it but the phone screen lit up as I glanced at it, so…”
Hearing that, Yuchi Yishu looked at his phone and read the text. His expression darkened, and he said, “You go in first.”
“Okay, sure.”
Tang Yuanyuan walked toward the villa. As she was walking, she couldn’t help herself from secretly turning back to look at Yuchi Yishu. She saw him making a phone call while he stood next to the car. He was muttering something with a cold expression on his face.
He’s probably talking to the girl who sent him the text, huh?
Based on the text, Tang Yuanyuan knew that the girl had a crush on Yuchi Yishu. It seemed like her feelings for him ran deep. He, on the other hand, probably had no feelings for the girl.
Tang Yuanyuan suddenly felt a great deal of pressure. Apart from herself, there were countless obstacles on the road toward Yuchi Yishu. After all, Yishu was so brilliant and there were so many people who had a crush on him.
If she didn’t hurry, he might meet someone before she could lose weight. By then, she wouldn’t even stand a chance even if she slimmed down.
After Tang Yuanyuan returned home, she did thorough research on the internet and wrote a bunch of notes in her notebook. After spending the whole night doing research and taking notes, Tang Yuanyuan finally worked out her own weight loss plan.
In the midst of her research, Mrs. Tang called her for dinner, but Tang Yuanyuan didn’t seem to hear her. Curious as to what she was working on, Mrs. Tang entered the room with a tray of food.
“What are you writing?”
When Tang Yuanyuan heard her approaching, she instantly reached out to cover her notebook.
“Mom, no peeking.”
“Why so mysterious?” Mrs. Tang glared at her. “Why can’t I take a look? It’s not like I’m going to gobble you up.”
“I won’t let you see it.”
Tang Yuanyuan insisted on not letting Mrs. Tang have a look. The latter had no choice but to leave the food on the table, saying, “Fine, I won’t look at it, but do remember to eat your dinner.”
“Sure, Mom. You may leave now.”
However, by the time Tang Yuanyuan finished planning, the food had grown cold, and she even forgot to eat.
This was the first time Tang Yuanyuan didn’t feel hungry although she hadn’t eaten anything. The food had already grown cold, but she still tried to eat some of it. She initially planned to eat more meat, but after thinking about the amount of meat she already had on her body, Tang Yuanyuan reluctantly decided to forgo meat and finish her bowl of rice only.
After finishing her dinner, she looked through her plan with satisfaction. From the next day onward, she would stick to the plan diligently, and would definitely lose weight.
With my current height of 1.62 meters, my end goal is to weigh 104 pounds. Can I manage to achieve it? I must! I must lose weight!
The next day.
When Mrs. Tang went to wake Tang Yuanyuan, she opened her door, only to realize that her room was empty.
“Where is she?”
Mrs. Tang was surprised. She went over to the bed and lifted the quilt. Seeing as there was no one there, she touched the bed, and realized that it was not even warm.
“Where could she have gone so early in the morning?”
Mrs. Tang headed downstairs to ask the servant, thereupon learning that Tang Yuanyuan had left early morning.
“She went out? Why did she go out so early in the morning?”
“To answer your question, Madam, I think the young Miss said that she was going out for a morning jog.”
“A morning jog?”
