However, Jiang Meng, unwilling to give up, chased after her. “Xiaoxiao, my good Xiaoxiao, just tell me! 1 really want to know this answer. This answer is really important to me!”

Seeing that Gu Xiao was still indifferent, Jiang Meng looked directly at Wei Shu.

“Xiao Shu, do you also want to know the answer to this question?”

Gu Xiao stopped tidying the desk and looked up at Wei Shu.

Based on her understanding of Wei Shu, she probably wouldn’t care about such boring things.

However, under her gaze, Wei Shu hesitated for a few seconds. In the end, she chose to follow her heart and nodded.

As if seeing the shock in Gu Xiao’s eyes, Wei Shu pursed her lips in embarra.s.sment and lowered her eyes.

“I-I gained ten pounds during the New Year,” Wei Shu muttered. “Xiaoxiao, didn’t you eat anything delicious during the New Year?”

Jiang Meng also nodded crazily at the side. “I gained 13 pounds during the New Year! 1 don’t even know what 1 ate during the New Year! Why did 1 gain so much weight!”

With that, she grabbed Gu Xiao’s hand as if she was holding onto a life-saving straw.

“Xiaoxiao, quickly, quickly tell me how you didn’t get fat?” Jiang Meng looked at Gu Xiao pleadingly. “Save me! 13 pounds is really too much!”

Gu Xiao looked at the expectant faces of Jiang Meng and Wei Shu. She completely put down the things in her hand and began to recall what she had done and eaten during the New Year. She realized that there was nothing special.

“It was just as usual, 1 really didn’t do anything special.”

Seeing that Gu Xiao did not seem to be lying, Jiang Meng slowly let go of Gu Xiao’s hand.

“Don’t tell me that you haven’t eaten anything delicious during the new year? Braised pork ribs, stewed pork trotters, steamed carp…” Jiang Meng stopped here and swallowed before continuing, “Don’t tell me that you haven’t eaten any of these?”

Gu Xiao shook her head. “1 have eaten all those.”

After all, these things had always been prepared during the New Year. It would be strange if they didn’t eat them.

“Then why is the result so different when we all eat the same thing!” Jiang Meng cried and pinched the extra flesh on her waist.

Wei Shu also covered her waist in embarra.s.sment. Although she was wearing too many clothes now and others could not tell, the flesh on her waist did exist.

Gu Xiao was silent for a moment and said hesitantly, “Maybe it’s because I’m exercising?”

Upon hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Jiang Meng and Wei Shu’s expressions froze for a moment. Their eyes flashed, and they looked away from Gu Xiao as if nothing had happened.

When Gu Xiao saw Jiang Meng and Wei Shu’s expressions, there was nothing she did not know.

She raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms, and looked at the two guilty people. “You’re eating so well during the New Year. Aren’t you going to exercise?”

Jiang Meng pouted and said stubbornly, “Isn’t… isn’t this the New Year? Isn’t visiting relatives considered a sport as well?”

Wei Shu did not say anything. She lowered her head in shame because she felt the same way.

It was the New Year, and it was a lively time. Who would have thought that they still needed to exercise? They had both focused on playing, and coupled with the fact that they were eating and drinking a lot, it seemed normal for them to gain weight.

Gu Xiao did not speak. She just looked at Jiang Meng quietly.

In the beginning, Jiang Meng was still stubborn, but in the end, she was defeated by Gu Xiao’s gaze.

“Alright! Alright! This is indeed my fault, but who asked it to be custom to prepare delicious food, snacks, and t.i.tbits during the New Year? Aren’t these things placed in front of me to tempt me to eat them?”

When Gu Xiao heard this, she walked closer to Jiang Meng and patted the spot where Jiang Meng had pinched the additional flesh just now.

“So you have to bear the consequences too.” Seeing that Jiang Meng was listless, Gu Xiao spoke again. “Remember to exercise when you reach school. You will lose weight very quickly.”

Jiang Meng and Wei Shu looked at each other and made up their minds.

“Xiaoxiao is right! I want to reduce my weight to the pre-New Year figure within a month! 1 want to start reducing my carbohydrate intake and start exercising!”

Wei Shu also nodded. “Mengmeng, we’ll supervise each other. We’ll definitely lose weight quickly!”

Jiang Meng and Wei Shu held hands. Their faces were firm and serious, as if they would not let the matter rest if they did not lose weight.

Gu Xiao looked at the two of them, who were holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes. She turned around and returned to her desk, opening the bag she had brought.

“Since you want to control your diet, it’s a pity that I brought these desserts and snacks. I don’t know if whom I would have to give them to later…”

“Me! i can lose weight after eating these desserts and snacks!”

“My health is less important. I can’t miss desserts and snacks!”

Before Gu Xiao could finish speaking, Jiang Meng and Wei Shu had already interrupted her..
