Silence!
The electronic voice announced.
The area fell dead silent!
Qin Yangyang stared at Lin Jiang in astonishment, her eyes wide. For a moment, she was at a loss for words.
She even began to suspect the machine was broken.
"What the hell! Is your machine broken?!"
Shen Yuanhang yelled, "He was at 16% just two days ago! How could he possibly be at 8% now?!"
"If you don’t believe me, you have to believe in science. Making excuses is just pathetic."
"That’s inhuman!" Shen Yuanhang shouted.
"What normal person can drop 8% of their body fat in three days? It’s impossible! There must be something wrong with the machine."
"Why don’t you get on and see for yourself if there’s a problem?"
"You don’t have to tell me. I was going to try anyway."
Shen Yuanhang stepped onto the body fat analyzer, and the buff coach operated it for him.
The crowd of onlookers craned their necks, eager to see the results.
"Your body fat percentage is 19%. Please continue to maintain this level."
"Mr. Shen..." Zheng Huiting paused. "It seems the machine is working just fine."
Furious and embarrassed, Shen Yuanhang snapped at Lin Jiang,
"This won’t do. You test it again."
"Happy to oblige."
Lin Jiang stepped onto the body fat analyzer again.
"Your body fat percentage is 8%. Please continue to maintain this level."
"You really brought it down to 8%!"
Qin Yangyang was both shocked and delighted. This was a result she had never even dreamed of!
"See? I told you I could do it, but you didn’t believe me."
"Mm-hmm."
Stepping off the analyzer, Lin Jiang looked at Shen Yuanhang.
"The results are in. Shouldn’t you be leaving now?"
The buff coach couldn’t help but snicker. He’d just earned a huge commission for doing nothing.
’This guy’s a living saint.’
"Fine, you win!"
The mocking looks from the crowd made it impossible for Shen Yuanhang to stay. He grabbed his things and left.
Just as Shen Yuanhang left, a game-like notification sounded.
[Mob defeated. Reward: Beginner Swimming, 50,000 cash.]
As the reward notification appeared, a wealth of knowledge and Skills related to Swimming flooded his mind.
For casual, recreational purposes, this knowledge was more than enough.
With Shen Yuanhang gone, Lin Jiang instantly became the center of attention.
Before Qin Yangyang and Zheng Huiting could even get to him, a group of female gym members swarmed him.
"Hey handsome, you lost 8% of your body fat in three days! How’d you do it? Can you teach me?"
"Hey, I’ve been trying to lose weight for so long, but I can’t get rid of this fat around my waist. Do you have any good tips for me?"
"Hey kid, can I add you as a friend? We can exchange fitness tips later."
A friend request from ’Peony’ popped up.
Surrounded by a sea of pale cleavage, Lin Jiang felt a little dizzy.
"There’s no secret. Just keep working at it. If you have questions, you should ask Coach Zheng. She’s the professional."
As he broke free from the crowd, Lin Jiang didn’t forget to do Zheng Huiting a favor.
"Over here, quick..."
Qin Yangyang waved to Lin Jiang with a smile, leading him into a private training room.
"Have you been secretly training behind my back these past few days? To get your body fat down to 8%... that’s incredible."
Qin Yangyang looked Lin Jiang up and down. "Can I see? I want to see what 8% body fat looks like."
"I’m a shy person. What if you make me blush?"
"It’d be a miracle if you blushed. Now let me see."
Lin Jiang lifted up his shirt.
With his body fat down to 8%, the outline of his abs was visible, though they weren’t sharply defined yet.
Qin Yangyang, however, was bold. She reached out and pinched the skin on Lin Jiang’s stomach. A glimmer appeared in her beautiful, almond-shaped eyes.
’This body fat percentage is to die for.’
"Can you tell me how you did it? You were eating fried skewers just two days ago, and you drank beer again tonight. How did you get your body fat down to 8%?"
"Are you sure you want to know?"
Qin Yangyang nodded emphatically. "Of course I do! Quick, tell me your secret."
"No problem. Let me show you something."
"Okay!"
They sat on a nearby bench. Lin Jiang took out his phone and played a video.
"I, Qin Yangyang, on the 28th of this month at 8:45 AM, do hereby agree with Lin Jiang as follows: If he wins the competition against Shen Yuanhang, I will wear black silk stockings and become his assistant, effective permanently. If he loses, he will wear a suit and become my driver, effective permanently."
"Er..."
Seeing herself in the video, Qin Yangyang gave a sheepish smile.
"Hey, I remember, you don’t have to remind me! Now, hurry up and tell me the secret."
"You didn’t believe me before, and now you’re coming to ask me for help. That doesn’t seem very in character for Qin Lu, does it?"
Qin Yangyang remembered Lin Jiang mentioning he had a secret to losing fat before.
She hadn’t believed him then, but now it was clear he really knew what he was talking about.
"I was wrong, okay? I misjudged you."
"That’s not good enough. There’s no sincerity in that. Once you’ve fulfilled your promise, then I’ll think about it."
"Hmph. You’re just bullying me."
"You’ve got to own up to your actions."
Lin Jiang got up, stretched, and prepared to try out some of the other equipment.
Qin Yangyang trotted after him, determined to get his secret fat-loss method.
Strolling casually, Lin Jiang arrived at the gym’s swimming pool.
Having just acquired a new skill, he was itching to give it a try.
But without any swim trunks, it wasn’t going to happen.
"You want to learn how to swim? Want to learn together?" Qin Yangyang asked.
"In exchange, I’ll find us a pretty female coach, and we can learn together."
"Sorry, I already know how to swim. No need to find a coach for me."
"You know how to swim, too?"
From her tone, it was obvious Qin Yangyang didn’t believe him.
"I’m sensing some doubt."
"You’ve never worked out before and you don’t have an exercise routine. How could you possibly know how to swim?"
"Have you forgotten how Youyou and I met?"
"Running is one thing, this is completely different."
"I still don’t believe you. Besides, when we were buying swimsuits, you said yourself you couldn’t swim. How could you suddenly know how?"
"Couldn’t I have learned in the past few days?"
"Of course not! Stop trying to fool me."
"No need to rush. We’ll just have to wait and see."
"Hmph! Fine, we’ll see about that."
After wandering around the gym for a bit and trying out all the equipment, Lin Jiang was ready to head home.
"Still want those fried skewers? I can go get them for you."
At the main entrance of Century Triumph, Qin Yangyang looked at Lin Jiang and asked.
"You’re offering to buy them? Just two nights ago, you were lecturing me about how I couldn’t eat that stuff."
"That was then, this is now. If you want them, I’ll go buy them."
"Well, since you’re offering, sure, let’s get some."
"Wait here for me."
"Alright. I’ll go to the supermarket and grab some drinks."
"No need. I have some at my place, more than enough for the two of us."
"Drink at your place?"
’Qin Yangyang is being a little too forward tonight.’
"Yep. The drinks are all there. I’ve got tea, too. Whatever you want to drink."
"Seeing as you’re being so proactive, I’ll give you a chance tonight."
"Hmph. Wait here. I’m going to get them now."
Qin Yangyang crossed the street and returned about ten minutes later, carrying a large bag of fried skewers.
Back at her place, Qin Yangyang found a pair of slippers for Lin Jiang. She went to her room and changed into a loose nightdress, looking much more comfortable.
"Red wine or beer?"
"I’m good with either. Anything’s fine."
"Let’s go with red wine, then. It’ll help you sleep."
Qin Yangyang took out a bottle of red wine and two glasses, and poured a drink for Lin Jiang.
"All this flattery... you must be after something."
Qin Yangyang smiled, her eyes curving into crescents.
"Just tell me how you managed to drop your body fat to 8% in just three days."
"I’ll tell you when you fulfill your promise."
"The thing is, I don’t actually own any stockings. I don’t usually wear that kind of thing."
"Think they’re too trashy?"
"Not at all. I just think my legs are nice enough that they don’t need anything to cover them up."
As she spoke, Qin Yangyang lifted her nightdress, revealing her smooth, pale thighs.
’I hadn’t paid attention before, but now that I’m looking, Qin Yangyang’s legs are even paler than I’d imagined. I can’t even see her pores. She really doesn’t need stockings.’
"They’re not bad, right?"
"They’re more than ’not bad’. No wonder you don’t buy stockings."
"But don’t worry. I’ll keep my promise. I’ll go buy a few pairs tomorrow."
"Then I’ll tell you tomorrow."
"Agh, but I can’t wait! Just tell me now."
"Nope. A man has to have principles. Can’t compromise so easily."
"So you have principles, and you don’t compromise easily, is that it?" Qin Yangyang said, her tone serious.
"Of course."
"You just wait."
Qin Yangyang went back to her room, leaving a confused Lin Jiang wondering what she was up to.
A moment later, Qin Yangyang emerged with the swimsuit she had bought the day before.
She held it up by the hanger’s hook and dangled it in front of Lin Jiang.
"I know men like black stockings, but I think a swimsuit is even more alluring, don’t you?"
Lin Jiang put down the skewer he was holding, his expression becoming intriguing.
"Just tell me your fat-loss method, and I’ll change into this right now."
"I definitely can’t tell you the method. But I can help you lose weight. I can’t promise a lot, but we can start with at least ten pounds."
Qin Yangyang did a quick mental calculation.
’I’m at 111 pounds right now,’ she thought. ’If I lose ten pounds, I’ll be at 101, which is really close to my goal.’
"Deal."
"Wait here. I’m going to go change."
She took the swimsuit back to her room. When Qin Yangyang emerged again, Lin Jiang was truly stunned.
Her cleavage was deep, her lower stomach had a gentle curve, her legs were perfectly straight, and her rear was round and perky. Her body’s lines were a vision of harmonious beauty, as if sculpted by a divine hand.
"So? How do I look? It’s pretty nice, right?"
’People are strange creatures.’
’Ask a woman to show you her underwear, and she’ll probably punch you. But ask her to show you her swimsuit, and after putting it on, she’ll ask if you think it looks good.’
’These days, you’re not even qualified to be a pervert without a bit of culture.’
"Turn around. I want to see the back."
Qin Yangyang obediently did as he asked. Lin Jiang felt a fire rise within him. ’Who the hell could resist this?’
"It’s a deal."
"You promised! You have to help me lose weight. At least ten pounds, starting now."
"If I’m lying, you can sue me. You’re a lawyer, after all. That’s your specialty."
"And how would I sue you? ’Your Honor, what did the defendant do?’ ’He looked at me in my swimsuit and then refused to help me lose weight’?"
Qin Yangyang let out a laugh that sounded like a honking goose, making her ample chest jiggle even more noticeably.
"Keep going, don’t stop. I love to see it."
"You pervert. So naughty," Qin Yangyang pouted flirtatiously. "So, can you teach me now?"
"No problem. Why don’t we just do the training while you’re in your swimsuit? The results will be even better."
"Train in my swimsuit? Better results?"
"Of course."
Qin Yangyang eyed Lin Jiang suspiciously. "I think you’re just trying to be a pervert."
