"Mu Shen?"
Everyone turned around to look at the woman who was descending the stairs.
'Gasp!'
Both Mu Shen and Jun Boyan gasped simultaneously.
Yu Mei narrowed her eyes. After she looked at herself in the mirror, she realized although her face has completely reverted to her previous one but because she was still chubby and round, her features were not that distinct…as in people might find her a bit similar to Han Mei but they won't think she was the carbon copy.
And for the first time since her second life started, she felt glad that she was fat. It would have been a blunder if her face transformed overnight.
At this moment, her chubby cheeks were her greatest advantage as they did cover up her features.
She has been going to the gym very regularly well…except for Saturdays. It was her cheat day. And the medications were effective. If she continued working out regularly, she believed it will take her a few weeks to look decently fit, even if she could not go back to her hourglass figure soon.
After losing weight, looking similar to Han Mei can be counted as a coincidence. Much better than this freaky overnight transformation.
'Clang'
Yu Mei focused her gaze on Mu Shen who was looking at her with his mouth hung open.
Why was he so shocked? Did her face change once again? She raised her hand towards her cheeks. While she was contemplating whether to run back to her room to check her face again, the shocked man finally opened his mouth, "Fatty? Since when did you become a cutie?"
She bit her bottom lips to refrain herself from saying some harsh words, "Yu Mei. You can call me Yu Mei instead."
Mu Shen walked around the long dining table before walking towards the woman standing on the staircase. Dressed in ripped jeans that showed off the front of his muscular thighs along with a casual round-neck T-shirt, the man flashed her his signature smile, not letting the glamour of his superstar title fade a bit.
"Oh my god, fatty. What am I seeing? You've lost weight."
"Yu Mei," She repeated, refraining herself from slapping his ugly mouth. She did lose some weight. Her arms were no longer flabby as before and her flesh was not bulging from her waistline.
"Fatty, you lost a good amount of weight. Your face has changed too. Where are those poke marks of yours? Are you planning to seduce my friend?"
As true as his words were and as fat as she was, it was an unspoken rule that one should never comment about a woman's age or weight, or looks. Didn't someone teach him that?
She took a few deep breaths. No…No…Anger only brings destruction to the world. Calm down. Calm down.
"Fatty, what are you thinking about?"
"Bohooooo," She covered her face with both her hands and turned around facing the opposite direction, "I...Sob…I know…I am fat and…sob…and ugly…You don't need to say that…on my face…sob sob sob…."
"_"
Mu Shen panicked. What the fuck! Why was this woman crying? After Jun Zixuan married this woman, he usually lived in his penthouse, coming here very few times.
The last time when Jun Zixuan came to Ren Mansion, he also accompanied the man. While Jun Zixuan was in his room, he had talked to Yu Mei who was wandering around in the corridor. At that time, she had gotten her hands on Jun Zixuan's number and was constantly pestering him so he had suggested her to stop doing so lest she angered his friend.
But the woman went on insulting him and calling him an entertainer and whatnot. This time, he was just taking revenge.
What was she bawling for?
"Sob Sob Sob Sob Sooooob~"
Mu Shen was speechless. Are you crying or singing a song?
"Sooob Sooob~" The woman went on.
Not noticing a certain someone's darkening face, Mu Shen opened his mouth again, "Hey, fatty, I didn't.."
"Enough," Mu Shen flinched at his friend's cold tone. More to his disbelief, Jun Zixuan stood up from his seat and walked towards. More like walking towards a certain fatty who was crying.
Mu Shen rubbed his eyes making sure he was not seeing this. Jun Zixuan climbed a step higher than the woman and stood facing her before…before…what the damned fuc…cough cough..before extending his hands to wipe the woman's tears.
While Jun Zixuan was a transfer student who joined the Crystal University in their final year, Mu Shen was there from the very beginning. Shi Luo and Mu Shen were like bros despite one of them being in medical major and the other in arts major.
Shi Luo had once introduced her to Mu Shen and they kept bumping each other here and there. She liked his lively personality. But she rarely attended the class or socialized so he was soon forgotten by her. It went on until she befriended Jun Zixuan much later and he introduced her to his friend circle where Mu Shen turned out to be their mutual friend.
So, Yu Mei was just pretending like that to make Mu Shen guilty. As outspoken as he was, she knew how soft his heart could be.
But she never expected Jun Zixuan to come here. He held her palms before removing them off her face. She pursed her lips, trying hard to think of an explanation for her tearless face. She was just faking sobs, how could she squeeze artificial tears? She did not have experience in that branch.
"I…"
The man cupped her cheek making her blink at him. She forgot what she was trying to say.
''Not ugly," He said looking straight into her dark eyes.
She froze.
"Xuan…you…you…" Mu Shen had yet to come out of his shock. Did his friend just cupped a woman's cheek and muttered sweet nothings? The woman is none other than the same antagonist who ruined his chances of being with his crush. It was that same damned Yu Mei Zhen whom Jun Zixuan loathed the most.
Where did the tornado occur? Why is there a butterfly effect here?
