Cat always felt that if she couldn’t go out to work, there was no way to help Su Li earn money.
She felt a bit guilty. So she could only do the work Su Li assigned her well, and then let Su Li earn more money.
It would be best to help Su Li save a bit of money too.
That way, there would be plenty of money at home.
There wouldn’t be any need to worry about Su Li not having enough to spend, or not being able to pay wages later.
Cat had also encountered bosses who couldn’t pay wages when she worked before.
They had owed her wages for a long time.
To prevent Su Li from becoming as pitiful as that boss, Cat thought she should save money for Su Li.
Seeing Cat’s serious attitude, Su Li didn’t say much.
She just connected her phone’s Bluetooth.
That way, when Cat played games with Xiao Yuyu, she wouldn’t need to control the game.
She only needed to be a companion chat.
The content in the game could serve as topics for conversation, but it wouldn’t be all about chatting.
“Here it comes!”
Cat murmured softly, then typed characters one by one on the keyboard.
After learning pinyin, she could try typing and type out everything she had learned.
Looking at the words she had typed, Cat felt a special sense of accomplishment.
Besides, Su Li had found her a game from somewhere.
She could type and learn to read at the same time. The graphics were cartoon-style too.
Cat held her own phone. The game was installed on her phone; she didn’t even need to log in on another device.
She thoughtfully labeled this game as work software.
Once she started playing, Cat would get into the zone.
“Su Li, Su Li, I’ve worked hard on losing weight again today!”
“You’re doing great, baby.”
Su Li said calmly, her mood not fluctuating much.
“Hehe, I’ve lost ten pounds in total now!”
Hearing the phrase “cumulative weight loss,” Su Li felt a bit unfamiliar. “Cumulative weight loss?”
“It means from the start of my diet until now, I’ve lost ten pounds total.”
“That’s impressive.”
Su Li understood. From the sound of Xiao Yuyu’s vocal cords being squeezed by fat, she could tell that Xiao Yuyu’s weight loss wasn’t much different from not losing any.
But she wouldn’t say anything to discourage her boss.
After all, if Xiao Yuyu didn’t succeed in losing weight, she could keep asking Su Li to provide encouragement services.
But ten pounds total. Su Li felt she could succeed just by lying in bed and doing nothing.
Weigh yourself before bed, then weigh again in the morning after using the bathroom.
Lose weight during the day, gain it back at night—back and forth, and you could easily rack up the weight loss numbers.
“Su Li, Su Li, I’ve invited you.”
Xiao Yuyu’s voice came through the headset. Su Li looked at the screen projected on the TV.
Cat was already staring at the game screen, ready.
Su Li didn’t care much; Xiao Yuyu rarely demanded her skills—she just needed to play Princess Yaoyao and use her third skill on Xiao Yuyu’s character’s head.
Other than that, there were no hard requirements.
Even if Cat’s operation wasn’t very convenient, Su Li could help smooth it over.
Xiao Yuyu lay buried in the fluffy goose-down quilt, the air conditioner blowing the thin curtains.
She reached out and touched her side waist, pinching her fat.
‘Too bad I don’t know if Su Li likes slightly chubby girls. Otherwise, this plump feeling on my body would definitely satisfy Su Li.’
Moonlight spilled in through the gap in the curtains that weren’t drawn tight, pooling into a silver puddle in the hollow of her collarbone.
She held her phone up to the ceiling; on the screen was a bloated selfie where she looked like a sticky rice dumpling.
Her thumb swiped to the front camera, and her jawline sliced through the light and shadow, even the folds squeezed out by her double chin turning into shallow dimples.
‘Su Li, I will definitely lose weight and meet you!’ she thought with confidence.
She was too happy now! Every day she could be woken up by Su Li and chat with her.
Even at night, she could play games with Su Li.
She almost occupied and filled all of Su Li’s free time.
“Su Li, Su Li, if we team up, this round is definitely unbeatable!”
Chi Qingyao followed behind Chi Qingya as they slowly entered the stairs of a residential building.
“Chi Qingya, how can you live in such a shabby apartment complex?”
Chi Qingyao was full of disgust. She thought the big city wasn’t all that great.
Not like their countryside. Back home, she lived in a three-hundred-square-meter villa.
She didn’t have to squeeze into such a small place with others.
Plus, with the development of the rural economy lately, living in the countryside was no different from living in the city.
They could also order delivery food and have packages delivered to their door.
So Chi Qingyao didn’t see anything good about the big city.
“Housing prices in S City are quite high, but actually living here is not bad,” Chi Qingya said quietly.
“But the smell in this corridor is way too strong. Chi Qingya, living in a place like this, what’s the difference from living in a pigsty? What kind of people are your neighbors? Don’t they clean their rooms?”
Chi Qingyao’s expression was full of disgust.
The air in this big city was far worse than the air in their village.
And she couldn’t stand the feeling of garbage and grease piling up.
She just wanted to get home quickly; maybe the smell would be better.
Chi Qingya remained silent, suddenly nervous.
She just lowered her head and walked ahead quietly, not daring to respond to her sister’s rant.
It didn’t take long before the door opened.
As soon as Chi Qingyao pushed open the door, the sour stench hit her, and she covered her nose.
“Holy shit.”
The air mixed with the smell of leftover food and alcohol made her throat tighten, and she almost threw up the meal she’d just had in the evening.
“Chi Qingya, so you’re the source of all this evil. You almost made me puke. Are you even human?”
She frowned and walked inside, her shoe suddenly stepping on something sticky.
It was half a moldy pizza slice; the cheese had fused with the floor.
Using her phone’s flashlight, she saw beer bottles scattered everywhere like reflective reefs.
Some empty bottles had wads of tissue floating inside, with yellow-brown liquid forming disgusting rings at the bottle necks.
Chi Qingyao kicked away a couple of rattling cans and found seven or eight plastic delivery bags piled in the corner.
Spilled soup had formed cobweb-like oil stains on the wallpaper.
“I can’t take this anymore, I can’t take this. Chi Qingya, you… you’re amazing! I’m going to throw up! I’m not living with you. I’m going to a hotel!”
