Guo Xuyang finished his call with Wu Youzhi and then called Pi Xiaoqian.
"Fatty, we're heading back first. I have something to attend to, otherwise I would have stayed for a drink with you. Really.
You just stay at the shop tonight and don't wander around.
What for? Something good. You'll find out tomorrow morning. Just try not to scream then."
Pi Xiaoqian was utterly bewildered by Guo Xuyang's call.
However, since Guo Xuyang said so, there must be a reason for it. He just had to follow.
He trusted that Guo Xuyang wouldn't deceive him.
The reason Guo Xuyang called him was to help him deal with his obesity before the New Year.
He had promised the fatty for a long time but hadn't found the time.
He decided to have Kasa delivered tonight to help the fatty solve this problem.
It was almost Spring Festival, so he considered it a New Year's gift for him.
Guo Xuyang and his group returned to the provincial capital past nine in the evening.
Ilena hadn't expected Guo Xuyang to return so late at night and couldn't help but cry.
In the past ten days or so, Ilena had lost a lot of weight, while the fetus in her womb had become increasingly plump, like a chubby baby riding a large carp in a New Year's painting.
"Yangzi, you're finally back. I feel like I'm about to give birth," Ilena said, tears welling up in her eyes.
"It's good that you're about to give birth. It'll be better after you do," Guo Xuyang said, patting Ilena's back. "We'll go to the hospital tomorrow to await the delivery."
"Mm. Auntie has been asking me to go into the hospital for the past couple of days. I always wanted to wait until you came back. I want our baby to see you first after it's born."
"Here I am, aren't I? Don't cry anymore, get some sleep," Guo Xuyang comforted her.
"Mm." Ilena agreed and slowly drifted off to sleep.
The fetus in her womb also quietly closed its eyes, as if asleep.
After Ilena fell asleep, Guo Xuyang returned to his room.
Yu'er had already stripped naked and burrowed into the quilt.
"Master, hurry up and get into bed to rest."
"You sleep first, I'm going out for a bit."
Guo Xuyang used a point-to-point teleportation and appeared on the second floor of the Ruixiang Jade Specialty Store in Kyoto. Pi Xiaoqian was lying on the bed, fast asleep.
He quietly put Pi Xiaoqian into a deep hypnotic state, then released Kasa. Kasa appeared beside Pi Xiaoqian like a sheepdog.
It was seen slowly merging into Pi Xiaoqian's body, and soon Pi Xiaoqian visibly began to slim down.
It absorbed Pi Xiaoqian's excess fat and simultaneously groomed his body.
After a full two hours, Kasa emerged from Pi Xiaoqian's body.
"Master, it's done. Please recall me," Kasa, who had transformed into a sheepdog, nudged Guo Xuyang's trouser leg with its head.
"You've worked hard," Guo Xuyang said, then recalled Kasa into his mind.
Then, with another point-to-point teleportation, he returned to his room.
Yu'er was already asleep, curled up on the bed like a kitten.
Pi Xiaoqian seemed to have had a dream. He dreamed that he had returned to the time when he first joined the army.
Back then, he was incredibly handsome and brimming with energy. He had never backed down from anyone in the ten-kilometer cross-country run or the five-kilometer weighted run.
He had overcome all obstacles and was recruited into the special forces, where he met the beautiful Li Minyu, and from then on, he was completely smitten.
Unfortunately, after a special mission, he was forced to transfer out of the service, and Li Minyu was recruited by another special forces unit.
From then on, he ate and drank excessively, and his weight once reached over three hundred catties.
The next time he saw Li Minyu, he found her eyes filled with disdain.
But he wouldn't give up; he always hoped that one day Li Minyu would change her mind.
"Pi Xiaoqian, just give up on this idea. Unless you can go back to how you were when I first met you," Li Minyu said coldly.
"You wait for me, I will definitely be able to," Pi Xiaoqian shouted loudly.
But Li Minyu paid no attention to Pi Xiaoqian, turned, and left.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu..." Pi Xiaoqian called out loudly, but Li Minyu didn't look back, walking further and further away.
He hurried to chase after her, but accidentally fell off a cliff.
"Ah..." Pi Xiaoqian woke up with a shout.
The sky outside was already dawn. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and reached for his clothes to get up, only to find that his clothes had become loose.
He froze for a moment, then quickly threw off the quilt and looked at his stomach.
The big belly was gone, replaced by eight-pack abs.
Holy crap, no way? Did I see a ghost?
He quickly jumped out of bed and turned on the light.
His baggy pants fell to his ankles.
That's right, I've changed, I've really slimmed down.
He stretched his arms and kicked his legs, confirming again that this was his body, no mistake.
He couldn't help but shout: "Ah, I've really slimmed down. Xiaoyu, you must wait for me."
He didn't bother to put on clothes and immediately dialed Guo Xuyang's number.
"Yangzi, Yangzi, my brother, I've slimmed down, I've slimmed down, I've really slimmed down!" He was so excited that he was speaking incoherently.
"Mm, it's good that you've slimmed down. You're disturbing my sleep so early in the morning. Don't bother me, I need to sleep a bit more," Guo Xuyang said and hung up.
Pi Xiaoqian was stunned. He then remembered what Guo Xuyang had told him yesterday.
"Something good. You'll find out tomorrow morning. Just try not to scream then."
Could this have been done by Guo Xuyang? This is too miraculous!
But then again, there was nothing truly miraculous about it.
Jielina could transform from a foreign girl into someone with black eyes and black hair, so why couldn't he transform from a fat person into a thin one?
Wasn't he doing exactly what Guo Xuyang told him to do before he left yesterday?
Surprise? Shouting? He had experienced it all.
Only now did he feel the cold and quickly burrowed back under the covers.
It was good to be thin, but he had no clothes that fit him here.
"Mr. Wu, are you awake? Could you help me buy some clothes and have them delivered later?
I'm 1.85 meters tall, no need for extra-large sizes. Buy me two sets, from innerwear to outerwear.
What for? You don't need to ask. You'll know when you get here."
After thinking it over, he had no choice but to call Wu Youzhi.
Wu Youzhi didn't know why Pi Xiaoqian was being so eccentric early in the morning, asking him to buy clothes.
At this hour, large shopping malls were not yet open.
He had no choice but to put on his clothes, get up, and drive around to see if any specialty stores were open.
"Mr. Pi, I'm telling you, the malls outside aren't open at this hour. Where can I buy clothes for you? I've already driven around several times."
Having no other choice, Wu Youzhi called Pi Xiaoqian.
"I forgot about that. The malls outside aren't open yet.
Thank you for your trouble. Come over to my place, and we can go out for a morning drink."
"What is this joyous occasion? Buying clothes and then drinking in the morning?"
"You'll know when you get here." Pi Xiaoqian hung up the phone and found his own clothes.
Although they were a bit loose, they were wearable.
It was so cold in this weather; if he didn't wear clothes, he would catch a cold soon.
