As for weight loss, Master Su, who had lived for 41 years, had not experienced it personally. Before reaching 39 years old, his physical fitness had been excellent. At that time, he had no habit of wearing white long s.h.i.+rts and Tang suits, did not lie on a soft couch in winter, or listen to opera on a sitting mat in summer.

Before the age of 39, Su Bai had a wide range of hobbies, such as climbing, fis.h.i.+ng, golf, horseback riding, shooting, martial arts, boxing and so on. He spent a lot of physical energy maintaining his physical function. He did not have the need to worry about fats or the need to lose weight, though several female companions around him worried about it day and night.

Occasionally, Su partic.i.p.ated in women's tea sessions, and nearly every time the topic of “losing weight” could be heard. A female friend of Su once said that losing weight is every woman's lifelong career from birth to death, but most peoples' career were not very successful.

As a form of courtesy, Su did not open his mouth and stopped himself from telling that increasingly wealthy female friend, “When you are happy, you always say to celebrate a big meal. When you are in a bad mood, you always say to eat a big meal to make up for yourself. You go to eat a big meal on your birthday, you also went to eat a big meal on his birthday, and eat a big meal on my birthday. Whether it is the Qingming Festival or Ghost Festival in July, you have it like this.” It would be strange if you could cut down weight when you always ate big during events.

Rather than saying that losing weight is a woman's lifelong career, Su thought it was an interest and more appropriately, a pursuit.

And now, Master Su will join billions of other people in the world in the pathway to losing weight. Keeping in mind the five words “eat less and exercise more”, Su resolutely refused to take the shorter route.

In the morning, a cup of fresh soybean milk – Master Su did not think well to the hard-to-digest milk – and a bowl of brown rice, red date, and coix porridge. After eating, he went for a walk along the s.p.a.cious mountain path until he reached the foot of the mountain. When the food was almost digested, he just walked to the seaside. He put on his earphone and listened to music, enjoyed the refres.h.i.+ng sea breeze and insisted on the fast-and-slow running.

Having no sense of honor and self-awareness as a university lecturer, Su Bai was early to take sickness as a reason to ask for leave from the school. The locks within and outside of the house were also changed, and as to whether Su Yiyang would be able to enter the villa was another matter. As far as he knows, Su Yiyang seldom came here to stay anyways.

A dark-coloured car stopped quietly at the seaside mountain road for some time. There were three men in the car, who wore black uniforms and white s.h.i.+rts. The sun in the morning was still struggling to where the sky and water met each other. The three men wore big black sungla.s.ses, seemingly afraid that others will not know that they were from the mafia.

“Those big stars are really f.u.c.king annoying. If there's something wrong at home, we are the ones who have to deal with it and get rid of it!” The little grunt who was driving, Big Cat, yawned, and his heavy eyelids under the sungla.s.ses were already closed.

“Su Yiyang is a first-line actor of Hurricane so the boss needs to use him to do business in the future. What are you screaming about? Feng-Ge, don't you think so?” Ah Mao, the other grunt sitting in the pa.s.senger's seat, lowered his head and took a sip of soybean milk. Taking out his cell phone, he took a picture of the sea view outside. Looking at the picture, he happily bit the straw and uploaded it to Scarf¹. He captioned it, “Can I wait for such a person to accompany me to watch the sunrise?”

“Psh, only you are smart!” Big Cat hummed and glanced a little at Ah Mao's actions on Scarf. “In fact, the boss is only making us do for show. Feng-Ge, don't you think so?”

Ah Feng rolled down half of the car window and took out his sungla.s.ses. The plump figure on the beach was very perseverant. First, he accelerated his running speed, then he slowed down. After about forty to fifty minutes, he slowed down to walk for a while and stretched his legs and legs. This kind of exercise was clearly trained.

This flexible fat man, Su Mo,  is Su Yiyang's half-brother? As an illegitimate child, Su Mo had no place in Su's family when he was a child. At least as far as Ah Feng knew, the man was no different from a servant in Su's family. Though, this awkward position changed after he went to Europe with the Su family as an adult.

Su Yiyang that little fox claimed that he was driven out by Su Mo, but what he really wanted was for Tang Zhong to buy a villa for him. As for Su Mo, he was just an ordinary person.  Most likely because Ah Feng knew of Su Mo's previous experiences, he had slight sympathy for this nimble fat man.

Putting back on his sungla.s.ses, Ah Feng silently rolled up the window and prepared to let Big Cat drive back. Suddenly with an instinctive glare, not far away, there was a handsome young man wearing white cotton clothes riding a bicycle towards this side, and even from a distance, even if separated by the window, even if separated by sungla.s.ses, the instant instinctive eye contact could not be blocked.

There was a chill in his heart, and Ah Feng told Big Cat to drive away. Through the rearview mirror, he saw the young man throw down his bicycle and run to a white fat man who was still exercising at the seaside.

… …

… …

After running for a while on the beach in the salty sea breeze, Su Bai ran along the mountain path with Ye Ziwu for an hour. When Su Bai returned to his villa, he almost fell on his feet and legs. Sure enough, he had overestimated this body, that was like a big white steamed bread, which had not been exercising for many years. Leaving Ye Ziwu aside, Su Bai went back to his room trembling and took a bath.

Chubby limbs, waist, and abdomen were wrapped with fresh-keeping film², the bath was filled with hot water and Su Bai let his body sink into the bath after taking a deep breath. Overflowing the layer of water flowers, his limbs stretched out and relaxed.

What was going on with that black car in the morning? Did Chen Yuan find out about something? Su Bai subconsciously denied this idea. He had woken up for half a month, and only a small number of people interacted with him. Even Chen Yuan could not have perceived anything in City, let alone Su Bai would not have believed the matter of the soul borrowing a body in the past. Unless one personally experienced it, few people would believe it.

Su Bai soaked in a hot bath for an hour. After he came out of the bathroom, the clothes were still from when Su Mo bought them. Sure, Master Su was a man who was all about leading a good life. Even so, he was really unwilling to take a step into the mall with his fat body at the moment. So, he was also casual about the clothes he wore.

When Su Bai came down from the stairs, Ye Ziwu had just carried two cups of coffee from the bar counter to the living room. The man put down his coffee and waved to Su Bai enthusiastically, “Mr. Su.”

Master Su returned with a gentle smile. Now, he only drinks three kinds of things: cool, white and sugar-free soymilk and plain black coffee.

As for Ye Ziwu, Su Bai was a little surprised when he first saw him. How did an ordinary university teacher such as Su Mo know Ye Ziwu, a powerful international crime police officer who had a complicated background? It was only later that he found out that the original person who pulled Su Mo out of the sea was Ye Ziwu, and coincidentally Ye Ziwu also lived in the sunset mountain area, which was why there were Ye Ziwu and Chunyan before as well as the scene of Ye Ziwu accompanying Su Bai to exercise.

Master Su personally thought that his willpower was still relatively strong. Even if he doesn't need to be urged to lose weight, he can stick to it with his teeth clenched. But it was not a bad thing when there was companions.h.i.+p, let alone this companion was Ye Ziwu.

“Mr. Su, I think you've lost quite a lot of weight.” Ye Ziwu was originally sitting on the left side of the sofa. When he saw Su Bai come downstairs he sat opposite him. He simply rubbed past with a coffee cup and laughed, looking like a big Samoyed.

Su Bai habitually crossed his legs, taking a small sip of coffee a bitter taste with a strong fragrance overflowed his lips and tongue. The corner of his mouth raised, “Only half a month has pa.s.sed, how much could I have thinned?”

Ye Ziwu had mixed blood of Chinese and English. He was tall but did not lose the restraint and delicacy of a Chinese. It truly was a very successful example of mixing. When he laughed, he radiated an aura of suns.h.i.+ne that was clean and pure. If Su Bai did not know the real ident.i.ty of Ye Ziwu, he would have probably been confused by the boy in front of him. Perhaps, this was the real side of Ye Ziwu?

Su Bai laughed at this thought of his. No one had only one face. Ye Ziwu was fierce and cruel when facing an enemy. For Su Mo who was a seemingly harmless, middle-aged, plump, suicidal, ordinary university teacher, Ye Ziwu could show the pure suns.h.i.+ne of youth.

If Ye Ziwu knew that the man he was facing at the moment was not Su Mo, but Su Bai, would he faint? The more he thought about it, the more fun Su Bai felt. The more he laughed internally, the more happiness appeared in his eyes, going as far as to not realizing that Ye Ziwu had been staring at him for a long time.

“Mr. Su, you will definitely look good when you're thinner.” Ye Ziwu pinched his jaw and laughed.

“Ziwu, I see that you spend a lot of time running with me every day. Do you wander around without going to school properly? Although you saved my life, I still want to say that you have to study hard when you are young. Don't waste all your good time.” Half of Master Su and half of Teacher Su, Su Bai said this in a half true and half false manner. Logically speaking, Ye Ziwu should be a busy man. How did he run all the way to City? Maybe it had something to do with Chen Yuan?

The little abacus in Su Bai's stomach snapped loudly, though his face was still a kind elder's face.

“Mr. Su, you really are a university teacher. You preach like you teach sets of lessons. But I am no longer a student and have been working for several years. Right now I'm on paid vacation, hard to tell right?” Su Bai could not help but laugh at Ye Ziwu's proud look.

“Since it's paid vacation, why don't you go out instead of playing here every day?” Without continuing to ask about Ye Ziwu's work, Su Bai calculated his speech precisely.

“What's so interesting outside? I think it's very good to chat with Mr. Su, but you've really lost a lot of weight recently. Your stomach used to look like eight months of pregnancy. Now it's only five months at most.” Blinking his eyes, Ye Ziwu's mischievous hand reached to touch Su Bai's stomach.

“Go away go away, don't be noisy, rascal you are pregnant.” Su Bai quickly s.h.i.+fted away in avoidance.

“Mr. Su, in order to celebrate your success in losing weight, I'll invite you to dinner!” Ye Ziwu blinked his pair of big hazel-colored eyes.

Su Bai resisted the impulse of rolling his eyes. “You want to ruin my weight loss plan for good?” G.o.d knows how hard Master Su spends his days trying to push back the body's thirst for meat, and the stinky rascal wants to invite him to dinner.

Finally, Su Bai was not able to resist Ye Ziwu's pestering skills. Before, Su Bai was always firm in his decisions and who could have dared to talk back? Su Bai, who never fell to someone's constant nagging, had fallen to Ye Ziwu's hands this time.

A/N: If Ye Ziwu is the “Smiling Angel” Samoyed, then Chen-Ge (Chen Yuan) is Husky! Haha…

T/N: Fish is very happy everyone is enjoying the story so far! There's still a lot of chapters ahead that Fish will have to translate T_T

Fish is thinking of taking a small break after every 10 chapters or something… _(:3 」∠)_
