Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 247 I'll just eat whatever I want.
In the living room, Wang Chu wolfed down all the sausages, cookies, and other snacks his mother had stuffed into his schoolbag before he left.

He looked like a starving ghost reincarnated. If Lin Mo hadn't cleared out all the edible stuff in the refrigerator before the holiday, he probably would have stuck in it right now.

This was only because Lin Mo stopped him; otherwise, it would be an exaggeration to say that Director Wang would eat millet and sorghum dry, but it is very likely that he would drink raw eggs.

"What do you mean there's none left? This isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap!" Director Wang wailed, sitting in his chair.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's face darkened: "Get lost, it's just a few snacks. My mom packed them for me before she left, how many could there be?"

"Hey, what's going on here? What's wrong? Is the squad leader just making the ox plow the field without feeding it?"

Looking at Wang Chu's ghastly appearance, Lin Mo's first thought was that he was suffering from kidney failure. Although Wang Chu used to be physically weak, he looked broad-shouldered and thick-waisted.

Even just by looking at him, you can tell he's weak. His face is pale, his eye sockets are sunken, he has dark circles, and even his once round face has shrunk considerably. As for his body, you can't see anything wrong with it.

However, when Director Wang came in, he was covered in sweat and looked like he had been pulled out of the water.

After much thought, Lin Mo concluded that the only person who could have caused Wang Chu to be in this state was the squad leader.

Perhaps during these few days of holiday, the two of them have rapidly developed feelings for each other and have already reached the point of intimacy. However, Director Wang's foundation is already unstable (kidney yang deficiency). If he were to start dating someone else, judging from his appearance, he wouldn't be far from death!
"How did you know? Old Mo, I'm suffering, brother," Director Wang said, patting his chest and choking back tears.

"You're still suffering? That's great! It's alright. I'll take you to see my teacher after the holiday and have him give you some treatment. Don't worry, my teacher can cure you," Lin Mo said with a smile, patting Director Wang's shoulder to comfort him.

I don't know if it's because the class monitor is too strong or Director Wang is too weak, but it has to be said that women are naturally more advantageous than men in this respect.

"Why bother looking for Professor Li? You can fix me yourself," Director Wang said.

Lin Mo was taken aback and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I haven't completed my apprenticeship yet, I can't prescribe medicine for others."

"What medicine do you need? Elbow, please treat me to a good meal. I'm begging you! The class monitor is forcing me to lose weight and controlling my diet. If you don't come back soon, I'm going to die!" Director Wang wailed.

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"Wait, you mean... you look like this because you're on a diet and haven't eaten enough?"

"What else? Hurry up, I'm hungry! If you don't leave, I'll eat the eggs in your fridge!" Director Wang said, somewhat agitated.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, he had been overthinking things. If these two, the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick, could reach the stage of fusion during these few days of vacation, their relationship wouldn't have been so difficult.

“I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush. Ask me, how can the class monitor control your diet? Can’t you just eat on your own? I don’t believe she can watch you 24 hours a day,” Lin Mo asked, pressing on Director Wang’s shoulder.

Even if he's trying to lose weight, Director Wang is practically starving to the point of being a zombie. He doesn't believe Director Wang has that much willpower to lose weight; if he did, he would have already slimmed down.

"Do you think I don't want to? It's just that I don't have the money!" Director Wang said helplessly.

Lin Mo was taken aback: "No money? What, did your aunt not send you your allowance this month?"

“I tried it, but it doesn’t work,” Director Wang said.

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
Then, through Wang's tearful account, Lin Mo learned what had happened to Wang at the school during the past few days of vacation.

It turned out that on the morning Lin Mo returned home, the class monitor invited Director Wang to go shopping and have dinner together. In the evening, for some reason, the topic of weight loss came up.

Coincidentally, Director Wang had the same idea, and the two hit it off immediately. They not only got a gym membership together, but then their class monitor, Wang Jing, suggested that they take out all their living expenses and lock them in a metal can. The key was with Wang Jing, while the can was with Director Wang.

Every day she would take the key to Director Wang, withdraw the limited amount of money, the two would eat together, and then it would be a crazy workout.

Director Wang also wanted to improve his skills, and after being spurred on by the class monitor, a girl, he immediately agreed.

But as everyone knows, Director Wang only talks about losing weight, especially with his high-intensity exercise and bland diet, even limiting his rice intake. How could he possibly stand that?

So he gave up on the second day and wanted to quit, but Squad Leader Wang was quite adamant. "We agreed on this before, and now you want to go back on your word? Grandma, you have to train."

When Lin Mo messaged him just now, the two of them were sweating it out at the gym near the school.

Upon seeing his good brother return, Director Wang immediately felt that his savior had arrived and had to come and call for help!
So, having a legitimate reason, Director Wang jogged over, feeling like he was getting more exercise than he would at the gym.

After hearing what Director Wang said, Lin Mo was completely dumbfounded. He had to admit that the squad leader was a ruthless person with incredibly strong execution ability.

"No, why don't you ask your family for some more? If you really can't, you can just tell me and Chuanmei, right?" Lin Mo said with a smile.

Hearing this, Director Wang rolled his eyes at him: "Do you think I didn't want to? But the squad leader had already thought of this. On the first day, he made me swear in front of the portrait of Mazu that I wouldn't borrow money from my family or you guys to buy food during my diet. How could I have agreed to that? Sigh!"

Lin Mo:
It must be said that this class monitor was both brave and resourceful. He first piqued Wang Chu's interest by talking about losing weight, and then used himself as bait, even taking out his own living expenses, all to cut off Wang Chu's financial control. Finally, he pulled a fatal blow by taking advantage of Wang Chu's hometown's belief in Mazu, thus cutting off his way out of his inability to resist borrowing money.

The schemes were one after another, completely outmaneuvering Wang Chu. He was practically a modern-day Jia Xu, with incredibly cunning strategies.

If he wants to eat, he has to exercise to lose weight, but even if he exercises, he still has to eat low-fat meals. In short, these past two days, Director Wang has been in a state of not being able to eat his fill, not starving, and exhausted.

"clap clap"

After listening, Lin Mo couldn't help but applaud, praising the performance as excellent.

"As expected of the squad leader, you're ruthless! You look terrible, but the effect seems pretty good!" Lin Mo asked, looking Wang Chu up and down.

In classical Chinese, Director Wang nodded: "Every day I do aerobic and anaerobic exercise, running, skipping rope, and fat-burning exercises, strictly following the schedule. I also limit my food intake, and the only meat I eat is chicken breast. In less than a week, I've lost 13 pounds! Lao Mo, please, take me out for a meal soon. I'm afraid she'll follow me again, and then I'll be in big trouble!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a loud knocking on the living room door.

'Bang bang bang' "Lin Mo, Lin Mo, it's me, Wang Jing. Is Director Wang here? Open the door!"

Director Wang: "My pills are spicy!"

Lin Mo:
Speak of the devil, and he appears; I never expected the class monitor to be so persistent.

"Lin Mo, his weight loss has finally started to show some results, don't you dare hold him back, do you hear me? Did you really eat this?"

Inside the living room, class monitor Wang Jing, dressed in sportswear, her upper body covered in sweat, clearly indicating that she also exercised a lot, was pointing at the wrappers of sausages and cookies in the trash can and questioning them.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo smiled calmly. Who was Director Wang? He was his brother who lived in the same dormitory with him for three years in college. They ate together, slept together, and never had a single argument in those three years. They were like godfathers to each other, and whenever he needed help, the other would always step forward to assist him.

On the other hand, the woman in front of him was just an ordinary classmate during his three years of university. How could he possibly betray his brother for such a woman?
"Yes, class monitor, he's the one who ate it!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Mo completely betrayed Director Wang.

Nonsense, it's just a flirting game between a man and a woman, why should he interfere? Although the way these two get along is a bit strange, it's all developing in a positive direction. After all, these two are now considered an economic community.

If he interferes, and these two actually get together and get married, wouldn't he be a stumbling block on their path?

When the class monitor Wang Jing wears a wedding dress and gives a speech on stage, saying that the two of them have encountered many obstacles along the way, and the biggest obstacle is him, where will he put his face?

So when Lin Mo saw this, he immediately backed down. Besides, asking Director Wang to lose weight was for his own good.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Wang Jing's eyes immediately sharpened.

"Are you still sneaking around eating out? Hurry up, we're having extra practice this afternoon!"

"No! I only ate a tiny bit, it shouldn't be that bad, right? Old Mo, help me!" Director Wang wailed.

Hearing Wang Chu's wailing, Lin Mo felt a little sorry for him and couldn't help but say, "Um, class monitor, how about we just forget about it? I heard from Wang Chu that he's been practicing for half a day, he needs to rest. How about we have a meal together?"

"Rest is fine, but meals are out of the question. We're both very strict about our diet right now."

"We can only eat boiled corn, raw tomatoes, stir-fried bean sprouts, enoki mushroom soup, lettuce with dipping sauce, cucumber, stir-fried oyster mushrooms, garlic broccoli, and no more than 100 grams of chicken breast. As for rice, we can't eat more than half a bowl per meal," said squad leader Wang Jing, counting on her fingers.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo quickly raised his hand and said, "How about this, let Director Wang rest for a bit. I promise he'll only eat these things, okay? If it really doesn't work, squad leader, you can stay and eat with us too?"

Wang Jing: Really?

Lin Mo nodded: "Of course, after all, it's for his own good."

"Okay, let him rest for half a day today and continue tomorrow. I won't keep him any longer. I need to go back and take a shower." Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Wang Jing chose to believe him.

Wang Chu might not care, but she, a girl, wouldn't wander around outside covered in sweat.

"Damn, Old Mo, Godfather, you're awesome! Come on, let's go out for a big meal! I want meat, pork belly!"

Seeing the squad leader leave, Director Wang cheered and jumped for joy in the living room, as if he saw his good days were about to begin.

"What are you thinking? I already promised the class monitor that I definitely wouldn't let you eat those things!" Lin Mo said matter-of-factly.

"No way, you're actually going to betray your brother? What was the point of me calling you godfather?"

Seeing that Wang Chu's eyes suddenly turned red, Lin Mo quickly patted his shoulder: "My son, calm down. I already have a plan in mind."

Director Wang: ? ? ?
Forty minutes later, Lin Mo handed half a bowl of rice to Director Wang and said, "I definitely won't give you any more rice, but you can eat more of the other things."

Wang Chu stared in astonishment at the table laden with food, "I can eat all of this?"

“Yes, the class monitor said you can eat these. You can’t go wrong by listening to her!” Lin Mo nodded.

He then looked at the table, where there were four ears of corn, two large tomatoes, a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts, a bowl of vegetables with dipping sauce, cold daylily salad, stir-fried oyster mushrooms, and a large plate of garlic broccoli. Although there was no meat, the portion was huge.

The class monitor just mentioned that he prepared a whole set, mainly emphasizing that it's a large portion that will fill you up. Anyway, Wang Jing didn't say that you can't eat it all in one meal, right?
Upon seeing this, Director Wang's eyes welled up with tears. As expected of his close roommate and best brother who had gone through three years together, he still stood by him in this crucial moment.

Even if he didn't take me to eat meat, at least he made sure I was full, right?
"Old Mo, I'm so touched. You have no idea what I've been through these past two days. From now on, if you ever need anything, just say the word. If I don't take care of you, I, Wang Bo, will be a stepmother," Director Wang said, wolfing down his food.

Seeing this, Lin Mo sighed, feeling that Director Wang had really had a tough time and had suffered these past few days.

"By the way, Lao Mo, why aren't you eating? You should eat too!" Seeing that Lin Mo hadn't touched his chopsticks, Director Wang called out to him, and even tried to put some food on his plate.

Seeing this, Lin Mo was very concerned about Director Wang and patted him on the shoulder: "You eat, don't worry about me. You've suffered, eat more!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chu decisively shook his head. His brother was thinking of him, and he was not the kind of person to eat alone: ​​"No way, let's eat together. You just got back and haven't eaten lunch yet. I've already eaten, what are you going to eat?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo took a deep breath: "Me? I'll just eat something simple."

After saying that, he got up and went to the kitchen. When he came out again, Lin Mo had a roasted goose leg that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, still sizzling with oil in his left hand, and a glass of chilled condiments in his right hand, ready to dig in.

Wang pointed at her with his small hand: "You."
