When Xiao Yuyu saw Su Li with other women, she felt a bit discouraged.
Because of that, she was determined to lose weight and become a beautiful girl.
She wanted to eventually amaze Su Li and win her over. However, the road to weight loss was much more difficult than she had imagined.
Perhaps it was because she had not stretched on the first day, but when she woke up on the second day, her entire body was aching.
Furthermore, because she had exerted so much energy during her first day of exercise, she ended up eating quite a lot during her meals.
On the second day, not only did she feel exhausted, but when she went to weigh herself, she discovered she hadn’t lost any weight at all—she had actually gained some.
Xiao Yuyu was somewhat disheartened, but she still forced herself through the physical discomfort and persisted for another day.
By the time evening arrived, she was so tired that she did not even have the energy to find Su Li to play games. Besides, she was also sulking.
If she did not go looking for Su Li, Su Li would never take the initiative to find her. It made her feel like a total simp.
She was clearly the one spending money on Su Li, so why did she have to be the proactive one even when it came to spending?
Weren’t there plenty of people online who coaxed others into spending money on them?
Why didn’t Su Li take the initiative to find her, tell her about his life experiences, and then ask to borrow money?
If Su Li did not take the initiative, she did not even have a way to farm his favorability!
Xiao Yuyu took out her cell phone again and again to look at her chat history with Su Li.
She felt very wronged.
She would send dozens or even hundreds of messages, only for Su Li to reply with a single one.
She felt as if her sincerity was being betrayed.
After that, Xiao Yuyu worked even harder on her exercise, all for the sake of amazing Su Li and making him regret everything!
However, after holding it in for a long time, she still could not help but want to chat with him.
She wanted to talk to Su Li. Simply looking at the photos she had secretly taken of him was no longer enough to satisfy her.
She desperately needed “Su Li energy.” Even just hearing his voice would be enough.
So, even though Su Li had not replied to her messages, Xiao Yuyu still took out her phone, planning to contact him.
She grabbed the Coca-Cola sitting beside her, downed a few gulps— gulp, gulp, gulp— and felt her fighting spirit return.
……
Seeing that Su Li had finally replied to her, Xiao Yuyu’s hand trembled slightly as she held her phone.
[Su Li, what have you been busy with lately?]
[I can’t stick with my weight loss anymore. Do you have any good advice?]
[Speak to me!]
[Speak to me!]
Xiao Yuyu suddenly realized that even when Su Li replied to her messages, he seemed a bit perfunctory.
She felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
[Sorry, I’ve been a bit too busy lately. I saw that you didn’t call me to play games, and I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn’t chat with you.]
A moment later, Xiao Yuyu finally received Su Li’s reply.
Seeing that he had typed more words than any of her individual messages, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Even the fat on her body seemed to jiggle with her excitement.
Su Li still had her in his heart. Thinking this, Xiao Yuyu could not help but happily take another gulp of her soda.
[Su Li, you still haven’t answered my question. I’m about to give up. What should I do?]
Xiao Yuyu stared at the cell phone screen. Now that Su Li was talking to her, she was unwilling to miss a single word.
Only then did she realize that after not chatting for a while, there seemed to be a bit of a distance between them.
At that moment, Su Li was actually chatting with Cat. Cat seemed to have an endless stream of things to share with her.
Su Li guessed it was perhaps because the phone’s internet speed was much faster now, reducing the “cost” of communication between them.
However, when Cat chatted with her, she was very patient in her replies. As for Xiao Yuyu’s side, although she said she was logging in, there had been no reaction until now.
She had been waiting for Xiao Yuyu for a long time, yet nothing but meaningless chatter kept popping up on her backup phone.
[Voice Message] 16s: “Su Li, Su Li… I don’t know why, but staring at the name ‘Su Li,’ I feel like I almost don’t recognize the characters anymore. But when I think of you, I feel a sense of intimacy with them even if I don’t recognize them. Why is that?”
[It’s normal to associate familiar things with the people around you. Just like when you see the word ‘Cat,’ don’t you also feel a sense of intimacy? After all, Cat is your name.]
Su Li answered Cat patiently. In truth, she was still quite worried about the girl.
She did not know what kind of environment Cat was living in, which left her with an uneasy feeling.
Su Li realized she felt a certain level of possessiveness regarding Cat’s affairs.
She did not know if this was a good or bad thing.
Normally, nothing could cause much of a stir in her emotions, but Cat was the exception.
Since finding Cat, she felt as though her emotions were finally showing signs of fluctuation and life.
Perhaps it was because Cat, like her, was a person from the same world.
[Cat Su Li]
[Su Li Cat]
[Cat Su Li Cat]
[Su Li Cat Su Li]
Looking at the messages sent by Cat, Su Li guessed that Cat was using handwriting input because of the long intervals between them.
Although she did not quite understand what Cat meant, she still copied the words and sent them back.
[Su Li Cat]
[Su Li, hurry up and log in!]
[I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!]
[Get online!]
[Log in now!]
The phone vibrated. Su Li looked at the messages Xiao Yuyu had sent.
Even though she was the one who had been waiting for Xiao Yuyu all this time, she did not get angry about it.
The money from one game was a decent amount, enough to buy plenty of fruits for Cat.
‘Maybe I should find an excuse to visit Cat?’ she wondered. ‘I can check out her living conditions while I’m at it.’
If it was truly too poor, she would just bring Cat over to stay with her.
Su Li thought to herself. Previously, she hadn’t cared much about her living environment, but after picking up Cat, she had become particularly attentive to it.
As soon as she solved their basic food and clothing needs, she had immediately taken Cat to find a new home.
[I’m already in the room waiting for you, baby.]
Su Li replied to Xiao Yuyu. Seeing that Cat had gone back to studying, she decided to earn some money first.
She looked at the phone in her hand, wondering if there was a way to have Cat play the games while she chatted with Xiao Yuyu.
That way, she wouldn’t have to waste time on boring gameplay, and Cat could have a much easier job.
She could even use it to handle Xiao Yuyu.
Once Cat learned how to read and write, Su Li felt she could even let Cat work as a client service representative to accompany clients.
That way, she could pay Cat a salary so the girl wouldn’t have to work so hard.
It would also serve as a perfect reason to bring Cat into her home.
As Su Li thought about this, the plan gradually became clear in her mind.
