[Help! I Really Regret It!]
Upon seeing the note in the wish bottle, Jiang Lin rushed from the Underworld to the human realm.
Using the small note to confirm the specific address, he appeared on the balcony of the 19th-floor resident.
Before he could examine it closely,
He heard voices inside.
His senses probed inward, and the scene he witnessed was truly surprising for a ghost messenger.
The live-streaming ball actively nudged forward, projecting the scene in the living room into the lens.
"Good evening, streamer (￣o￣)ノ"
"Late night viewers get to watch a live stream!"
"Hmm? What's going on now, are these two ghosts?"
"Midnight tea party?"
The bullet comments scrolled by rapidly.
Many viewers were active late at night.
...
In the living room.
Yao Xiaowei sat on a stool not far from the exercise bike,
Her chin propped on her hands, she watched the other person with amusement.
"So, you wanted to lose weight for her?"
"And then?"
The exercise bike spun slowly.
The fat man habitually raised his hand to wipe his sweat and said, panting,
"Then I vowed to become a handsome, thin person!"
Xu Pangzi's life had been uneventful.
He hadn't encountered any major setbacks, nor had any great fortune befallen him.
His studies were average, his social life was average.
He had no particularly noteworthy talents.
In his 25 years of life, his most prominent achievement was his excess body fat.
Everyone who saw him would say: "He eats well!"
At the age of 25, everyone was busy introducing him to potential dates.
Xu Pangzi himself also wanted to find a partner, but unfortunately, others didn't fancy him.
And so,
Xu Pangzi welcomed his 36th blind date.
This blind date was a girl with a cute appearance and a pair of studious glasses.
After meeting,
Not only did she not dislike his physique, but she also actively contacted him.
When Xu Pangzi returned home, fireworks began to explode in his mind.
He felt that his spring had arrived.
After a few interactions,
Both parties had good impressions of each other.
Xu Pangzi scoured the internet for advice, and on their fifth meeting,
He mustered up the courage to suggest confirming their relationship.
"Ah?"
The woman blinked, seemingly surprised by his suggestion.
She said blankly, "But I just wanted to touch your belly..."
It was so soft and really comfortable.
Xu Pangzi: "Ah? Ah. Ah..."
In that moment, a myriad of emotions surged through him.
Xu Pangzi felt as if he had experienced a love tribulation.
A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, leaving him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
The woman, sensing his unusual demeanor, said hesitantly,
"Are you okay? Did I upset you? I didn't mean it like that..."
Xu Pangzi chuckled, a forced smile on his lips, "It's fine, it's fine..."
It's fine.
He had experienced far greater setbacks.
This one wouldn't make much difference.
Xu Pangzi turned to leave, and the woman chased after him.
After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Um... can we still be friends? And can I still touch your belly?"
"..."
Xu Pangzi fell silent. This request was bizarre.
He should have angrily refused, and then spat in her face.
And then turned and walked away.
But, in the next second,
His body nodded in agreement.
What if, what if they fell in love over time?
Was this pathetic?
But,
For overweight men, love was already rare...
Right?
After all, they didn't have a good-looking exterior to make people stop and carefully study their interesting souls.
After that, Xu Pangzi began to collect information online.
[How to Become an Interesting Soul?]
[How to Make People Think You're Interesting?]
[What Do Girls Want Their Dates to Do?]
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Whether Xu Pangzi had an interesting soul, he didn't know.
But his blind date had found a boyfriend.
It wasn't him.
The other person was a thin man.
"Saying they like soft bellies is all lies!"
Xu Pangzi watched the two in the distance and angrily slammed his milk tea.
"They say nice things, but in the end, they still choose abs!"
After returning home,
Xu Pangzi vowed to become a thin person!
And he ordered all sorts of exercise equipment.
But,
...
"e=(´o｀*)))sigh"
In the living room,
Xu Pangzi sighed as he rode the exercise bike:
"Not all emotional setbacks can lead to successful weight loss."
"Take me for example, I accidentally over-exercised and died suddenly."
Yao Xiaowei nodded in agreement, "Indeed."
"People who haven't exercised for a long time and suddenly want to start must do it gradually. Otherwise, problems are very likely to occur."
She paused, "Actually, the most important thing in losing weight is health."
Being free from illness and pain is better than anything.
...
"It's hard not to agree with what the young lady said."
"Reasonable exercise, while weight loss looks good, but with health, there can be a future."
In the live stream, listening to the conversation in the living room.
The viewers also shared their thoughts.
Especially those who had successfully lost weight or were on the path to doing so.
"I'm crying, it's really heartbreaking for a fat person to want to find a partner. I don't even dare to say I want to find a partner."
"The one upstairs, even I, who am not fat, find it hard to find a partner!"
"I used to always see people lose weight after a breakup... Now I don't envy them anymore."
As the bullet comments chatted,
The tone gradually shifted from healthy weight loss to the topic of finding a partner.
A viewer who had just joined was confused.
"Wait, no one is concerned that this person and ghost are chatting openly in the middle of the night?"
These two,
One is human, and the other is a ghost!
...
Beside them,
Jiang Lin, who was not visible, watched the scene in the living room and felt a strange sensation.
Today,
Could he switch to a different mission?
He felt as if he wouldn't need to appear to resolve any wishes.
...
In the living room,
Yao Xiaowei asked curiously, "Then how did you become a ghost? Can you lose weight after becoming a ghost?"
Xu Pangzi put on a smile that looked worse than crying, "Do you think I wanted this..."
"Ever since I died suddenly on this bike, I haven't been able to leave this place at all.
And I have to keep cycling, cycling..."
His soul seemed to be stuck to this exercise bike.
He rode the bike again and again here, and his former blind date had already married and had children with someone else.
But,
He was forever bound here.
He couldn't lie down to watch TV, couldn't drink happy fat-man cola, and couldn't sleep.
Whenever he thought of these things, Xu Pangzi wanted to cry.
"I shouldn't have made that vow back then!"
When he made the vow, he coolly said, imitating others:
—If I don't succeed in losing weight, I refuse to be human!
As a result, this was his retribution.
Yao Xiaowei blinked, "It can be like that..."
She subconsciously looked up at the sky, "Was there thunder when you died?"
Xu Pangzi: "When you're about to die, who pays attention to that?"
Yao Xiaowei: "That's true."
For a moment,
Neither of them spoke again.
The living room was filled only with the sound of Xu Pangzi struggling to pedal the ever-stopping exercise bike.
