Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 464 - 464 459 The True Lone Wolf

Chapter 464: Chapter 459 The True Lone Wolf Chapter 464: Chapter 459 The True Lone Wolf “How could I not be fat? My weight has hardly changed since the start of school.”

As Ding Yuanyuan spoke of this, her face was full of frustration, feeling almost no motivation to continue losing weight. She raised her hand to pinch her waist through her down jacket, muttering to herself, “I feel like I actually have a waist now, how can I still be so heavy? This is really strange…”

Jin Dapang watched her gestures and heard her words, barely restraining a laugh. He remembered how in the summer, she had worn broad, flowing dresses, and at that time… well, it was indeed not easy to locate a waist.

However, he also found it odd that her weight had not changed. At the beginning of the school term, there had been a bit of a double chin, but now it had become a sharp chin, and the change in her figure was quite noticeable. Logically, she should have lost weight, so why hadn’t her weight changed?

This didn’t make sense.

Jin Dapang looked at Ding Yuanyuan skeptically again, and when he saw a pharmacy ahead, he said, “You can weigh yourself inside. Let’s go check it out.”

“No need. I weigh myself every day in the dorm.”

Jin Dapang casually responded, “Maybe the scale in your dorm is broken.”

Ding Yuanyuan shook her head, “That’s unlikely. The other three also use it, and it works normally for them.”

Though she said this, she still followed Jin Dapang into the pharmacy.

Before the school year, she was at her heaviest, with a height of 1.6 meters but weighing 135 pounds. She had lost a little since then, but just a little, no more than eight and a half pounds.

So her current weight should be 126 pounds.

Yet, when she stood on the pharmacy’s scale, the pointer stopped at 115 pounds.

“One hundred fifteen, that’s a drop of twenty, isn’t it? I told you you’ve slimmed down,” said Jin Dapang. “Looks like the digital scale in your dorm really is broken.”

Ding Yuanyuan looked confused. “That can’t be possible… Excuse me, ma’am, is your scale accurate?”

The middle-aged woman selling medicines behind the counter smiled kindly, “Our store measures blood pressure and weight for the elderly nearby every morning. It’s definitely accurate.”

Ding Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and hopped off the scale, elated. “That’s great, I’ve finally gotten down to 115. Starting today, I can stop running.”

Jin Dapang was taken aback by her words and quickly cautioned, “You should still keep running, otherwise you might gain the weight back. It’s like me, I haven’t stopped this term and that’s the only way I’ve managed to maintain my current weight.”

But Ding Yuanyuan wasn’t listening anymore, pulling him towards the exit, “We’ll talk about that later, I definitely need a break for the next couple of days.”

Looking down at the hand tugging on his arm, Jin Dapang saw it was white and tender, and chubby in a way that made one want to pinch it.

But before he could act on the impulse, her plump hand let go of him, and then Ding Yuanyuan’s excited voice rang out, “They’re here! Hurry, hurry, let’s go to them.”

With Christmas plus the weekend, Dai Lei and the others had also taken the rare chance to close their doors for a day, and then headed into town with Mu Jiawen and the other three for a meal together.

Mu Jiawen wore a golden reindeer antler headband on her head that bobbed comically as she walked, giving her a somewhat silly look. It was something Sha Yali had forcibly put on her head.

“Let me tell you, the electronic scale in our dorm is broken.”

As Mu Jiawen was about to take the headband off her head to put it on Ding Yuanyuan, she paused at her words, then looked at her and blinked, “Did you break it by stepping on it?”

Ding Yuanyuan froze at the question, realizing that it really was mostly her using the scale, with the other girls only occasionally stepping on it, so… did she really break it?

But she couldn’t admit that.

“I’ve never weighed over 150 at my heaviest, and this scale can’t even handle that much? Then the quality of this scale must be terrible. It definitely had problems from the start. Jiajia, where did you buy it? I’ll take it to the store owner,” Jiang Yan said.

Mu Jiawen cleared her throat, “Cough, it’s been sold for half a year; how could the store owner possibly admit to that? He might even say we broke it. Forget it, it’s just something worth a few dozen yuan; it’s not worth making another trip for.”

After she finished speaking, she realized that she hadn’t yet asked Ding Yuanyuan how she discovered the scale was broken.

Only when she heard that Ding Yuanyuan’s weight measurements at the pharmacy differed from those at the dormitory did she quietly sigh with relief.

Well, I’ll adjust it back to normal when I return to the dormitory this afternoon.

Liang Yujun and Sha Yali watched the two, struggling to hold back their laughter without making a sound.

“Let’s go, it’s about time,” Jiang Yan said.

At this moment, Jiang Yan walked out from a nearby coffee shop, his backpack laden with textbooks for this semester’s Advanced Mathematics and a few other courses. He had been focusing most of his energy on the factory recently, which led to a bit of slack in his studies, resulting in only scoring eighty on last week’s Advanced Mathematics test.

Yu Heng found out about his test score as soon as it was released. That very afternoon, Jiang Yan was summoned to his office and lectured for two hours.

Jiang Yan left with a headache and feeling overwhelmed, having absorbed little. Thus, he wrote two detailed factory plans overnight—one for He Gong, the other for Jing Junyang—letting them handle it because he truly lacked the energy and time to do so himself.

Today, while Mu Jiawen and the girls went shopping, he was stuck in the coffee shop grappling with Advanced Mathematics.

When Dai Lei and Gao Jie arrived, Dai Lei fell silent upon seeing the book in Jiang Yan’s hands, thinking to himself that he scored only ninety-four on last week’s test due to his lack of effort, not having fought for every minute like Jiang Yan, who even brought books along while going out.

If he had done the same, he surely could have scored full marks.

It seemed he needed to spend more time on his studies in the future.

Jiang Yan was unaware of Dai Lei’s thoughts; if he had known, he surely would have slapped him. The test was exceptionally difficult; few scored over eighty, and Dai Lei was the only one who had scored over ninety, even Weng Minhong only managed eighty-nine. Yu Heng had mentioned that having one person score over ninety meant that the test wasn’t too difficult, at least within the school’s manageable range.

Why could others score over ninety, but not you? The teachers all taught the same, didn’t they?

When Jiang Yan heard this, he nearly lost it. It was almost the most cliched sentence teachers had used for centuries. But for a genius professor to follow suit, to be just like any other ordinary teacher was incredibly disappointing.

Of course, he dared not voice this thought aloud. If he did, Yu Heng would be more than willing to drag him to the office for remedial lessons every day, which would be worse than death.

Once everyone had arrived, they headed to a nearby buffet restaurant that had a good reputation.

Tian Xiaohui and Jin Dapang walked side by side as he looked around; Jiang Yan with Mu Jiawen, Dai Lei with Gao Jie, Dapang with Ding Bagua (though those two hadn’t made it official, it was clear they were always together), and then there were Liang Yujun and Sha Yali, three singles—no, Sha Yali had someone pursuing her, reportedly very steadily, bound to be together sooner or later.

So, the only truly single ones were him and Liang Yujun.

But Liang Yujun was in the Monk’s Temple; it wasn’t that she didn’t want to date, she could have if she had wanted to.

It was just him…

Sigh, a truly solitary soul, unnoticed by anybody!
