Gu Bailu smiled. “Su Shenfan just left. You’re not dreaming.”

  Bu Yaolian widened her eyes. “Are you serious?”

  “Of course. I asked him to wake you up with a kiss. See, you woke up.”

  Bu Yaolian blushed and said, “You, you know everything.”

  Although she had been asleep, she could still hear what was going on outside. She knew that her grandfather had come and that Gu Bailu had come see her every day.

  She wanted to wake up, but she couldn’t open her eyes.

  She was anxious, too. One day, Gu Bailu came again and said that she would make Bu Yaolian prettier, and fed her something.

  Bu Yaolian had no idea what was going on. How could she become beautiful so easily?

  However, it seemed that Shao Zun had come today. Although he didn’t say anything, she felt that it was him when his lips touched hers.

  But she couldn’t tell if it was a dream or reality.

  Looking at Gu Bailu’s expression, Bu Yaolian knew that her grandfather must’ve told Gu Bailu what was in her heart, so she thought of a way to lure Su Shenfan over.

  Unexpectedly, Shao Zun’s kiss woke her up.

  Actually, she had been able to move the moment he kissed her, but she had been savoring the beauty of it and didn’t want to ruin it, so she hadn’t moved.

  She was still reflecting on the aftertaste when Shao Zun left.

  She had really been kissed by that god-like man.

  “I do. Why can’t you let other people know? It’s not embarrassing to like him, but he has too many women. It’ll be difficult to drive them away.”

  Bu Yaolian lowered her head. “Lulu, stop laughing. How can he like me like this?”

  “Why, what’s wrong with you?”

  “If I were half as good as you, I would’ve charged forward recklessly.” Bu Yaolian knew that Gu Bailu wasn’t trying to deliberately hold up her shortcomings.

  “Tch, you didn’t grow up well? Come, let me show you what you look like.” Gu Bailu gave her a mirror.

  Bu Yaolian was shocked to see the beauty in the mirror. “Who’s this?”

  “You,” Gu Bailu said in amusement.

  Bu Yaolian looked at her in a daze. “How is that possible?” She was as beautiful as jade.

  Gu Bailu grabbed her hand and said, “Look, haven’t you lost weight? This is you. When you’re thin like this, who would dare to say they look the best in the world if you’re second?”

  Bu Yaolian looked at her thin arms and slender fingers. She lifted the blanket, only to discover that her round belly was gone!

  My god.

  She hurriedly got off the bed. “How can I be so skinny? That’s impossible. Am I dreaming?”

  Ever since falling severely ill one year, she gained weight rapidly. No matter how little she ate or what medical treatment she received, she never lost weight.

  Later, she found out it was because of the medicine she took when she had been seriously ill that she couldn’t lose weight anymore, so she stopped controlling herself. Since she was already fat, she might as well eat and drink whatever she wanted.

  So, when she learned that she would be doing a blood swap with Mo Qian’er, she was very happy that she could finally change her constitution.

  However, she had only lost weight for a few days before the blood had been switched back. It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t disappointed.

  She had lost weight, so she dared to give things to the person she liked and confess her love, but she had to go back to being fat again.

  It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that she had fallen from the clouds into hell.

  She was scared that Shao Zun would laugh at her and look down on her.

  Chapter 783: Break Through the Southern Wall and Don’t Look Back

  However, she had only lost weight for a few days before the blood had been switched back. It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t disappointed.

  She had lost weight, so she dared to give things to the person she liked and confess her love, but she had to go back to being fat again.

  It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that she had fallen from the clouds into hell.

  She was scared that Shao Zun would laugh at her and look down on her.

  She could spend money to make Su Shenfan accompany her. Of course, he had never accepted her mission, but she didn’t want him to know her true feelings.

  At first, she didn’t want to wake up, but later, she couldn’t.

  But she had now woken up and had lost so much weight!

  “Did I really lose weight?” Bu Yaolian asked again.

  Gu Bailu shook her head. “No. It’s true that you’re this beautiful when you’re thin, but you haven’t lost weight. You were transformed by the 9,999 Spring Harbingers into this appearance.”

  Bu Yaolian sat down in disappointment. “I knew it was fake.”

  Gu Bailu patted her shoulder. “You look so beautiful when you lose weight. Aren’t you going to lose weight?”

  Bu Yaolian shook her head. “How can I be thin? I can’t get thin at all. I……”

  Gu Bailu interrupted her. “How do you know that you can’t lose weight without doing your best? If you think you can’t lose weight, you won’t. A person’s thoughts prevail over everything.”

  Bu Yaolian looked at herself in the mirror in a daze. She had never dreamed that she would be so beautiful after she lost weight.

  Could she really be so beautiful after she slimmed down?

  No…… could she really lose weight?

  She had tried so hard to control it for a couple of years when she was younger, but it hadn’t worked.

  “Do you know why Su Shenfan came over?” Gu Bailu told her how she had tricked him into kissing her.

  Bu Yaolian was both happy and hurt.

  She was happy that Shao Zun liked her thin appearance.

  She was hurt that Shao Zun utterly disdained her true appearance.

  “So, if you slim down, you can love yourself more, increase your self-confidence, and make the person you love fancy you more. Why not?”

  Bu Yaolian sighed. “I want to……”

  “Actions speak louder than words. If it’s a question about what you eat, start with your mouth. If it’s about your body, start with physical exercise. If it’s about your blood, I’ll help you change it.”

  Bu Yaolian felt hopeful. “Can I really lose weight?”

  “You can only confirm it once you’ve tried everything.”

  Looking at Gu Bailu’s serious face, Bu Yaolian clenched her fists and shouted, “Alright! I won’t eat anything today.”

  “Don’t mess around. It’s bad for your stomach if you don’t eat. I’ll come up with a weight loss program for you. You must follow the instructions strictly.”

  Bu Yaolian nodded. “I will.”

  Seeing that Bu Yaolian had woken up, Gu Bailu felt relieved. She now had to negotiate terms with Su Shenfan, so she left.

  Bu Yaolian looked at herself in the mirror. If she had met such a woman on the street, she would’ve drooled, just like when she saw Gu Bailu.

  She liked beautiful people, both men and women.

  That was why she liked Shao Zun, because she knew that his face behind the half-mask was stunning.

  He had to wear a mask to hide his beauty.

  Now that she herself could become the kind of beauty that she liked, how could she not work hard?

  Gu Bailu was right. No matter what, she had to try. How could she give up without trying everything?

  For the sake of beauty, she would break through the southern wall and not look back.
