Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 248 I feel like I've seen this scene somewhere before?

Although Wang Chu was somewhat taken aback by Lin Mo's actions, fortunately, he shared the same name as the goddess Mazu, so in the end, Wang Chu was unable to open his mouth to scold him.

It has to be said that Lin Mo has benefited from his name; at least under Director Wang's command, he won't be scolded no matter what he does.

Of course, Wang Chu could only look at the roast goose leg; eating it was out of the question. After all, Lin Mo had already promised the class monitor that he would only eat those low-fat meals, and he had already increased the amount. What more could he want from him? He had already done more than enough!
As for why he ordered a roast goose leg in front of Director Wang, it wasn't intentional. After all, he was hungry too. He couldn't just stop Director Wang from eating because he was on a diet; that's just not how it works. He was simply craving something.

After dinner, Lin Mo leaned comfortably on the sofa, while Director Wang, having finished his chores, lay on the living room floor groaning like a dead dog.

Nothing more than wanting to soothe Wang Chu's wounded heart, Lin Mo still gave him a massage to relieve his fatigue.

"Hey, I have to say the class monitor really went all out. You have so many muscles stretched from overexertion all over your body. It must feel pretty sore, right?" Lin Mo laughed as he sat on the sofa.

Just now, when he was giving Director Wang a massage, every time his palm touched Director Wang, Director Wang trembled as if he were being electrocuted. It wasn't that he was enjoying it, but that he was in pain.

As we all know, if a person doesn't exercise for a long time and suddenly starts exercising, their whole body will feel sore and their muscles will ache.

Wang Chu hasn't exercised in who knows how long; in any case, his weight has been steadily increasing since his freshman year of college.

The class monitor has been really tough on me these past two days, and the amount of exercise seems quite intense, so it would be strange if I didn't experience any physical reaction.

Hearing this, Wang, who was lying on the floor, rolled his eyes: "You enjoy training, fine, but you won't even let me eat my fill. This is going to kill me! Lao Mo, why don't you talk to the class monitor and ask me to withdraw from this activity?"

"No way! I'm not getting involved in your mess. If you're really so capable, go talk to the class monitor yourself. I've already done more than enough by giving you a full meal today. At most, I'll give you a massage later. Besides, even the class monitor, a girl, has the willpower to exercise and lose weight with you. Are you really that cowardly?" Lin Mo said with a look of disdain.

The class monitor isn't the kind of person who just cheers from the sidelines and talks without understanding the situation. He did all the necessary training and ate all the recommended weight-loss meals. He even gave his own living expenses to Director Wang. His determination is extraordinary.

If he gets involved in this situation, what's the difference between him and courting death?

“It’s different, okay? I’m overweight, so even a little exercise feels like it’s going to kill me. Plus, I burn a lot of calories, but I’m never full. Who can stand that?” Director Wang said, somewhat unconvinced.

In his view, although exercise was uncomfortable, it was not impossible to persevere, but starving was unacceptable; he had never suffered like this before in his life.

"You don't understand, do you? The most important thing to lose weight is to control your diet. Exercise can only play a supporting role."

If you don't control your diet and eat excessively, no matter how much you exercise, you won't lose much weight. You'll just go from being a fat person covered in fat to a fat person covered in muscles.

"Besides, haven't you seen obvious results these past few days? Look at you, you've lost over ten pounds! I feel like your face has gotten smaller, and your jawline is much more defined. Plus, once you successfully lose weight, your skin will improve too. If you can stick to it, maybe in a few months you'll be a muscular man with eight-pack abs. You might even be able to go for the looks route and form a couple with Li Shiya, that would be great!" Lin Mo painted a rosy picture for Director Wang while simultaneously trying to manipulate him, acting like a pyramid scheme leader.

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, Director Wang was somewhat tempted.

"Is it really that obvious? I... I'm just practicing casually. They say every fat person has potential, and I think I'm almost there. Damn it, let's do this. I'm going to find the class monitor now, and we'll continue practicing this afternoon."

As Wang Chu spoke, he looked in the mirror, raised his chin high, and admired his jawline, which was covered by flesh. In the end, he went straight out the door to find the class monitor.

For some reason, Lin Mo felt a little guilty about fooling Director Wang like this, because he knew all too well what kind of guy he was—his three-minute enthusiasm was no joke. But for Director Wang's own health, a little manipulation now and then wouldn't hurt, right? Then Lin Mo uttered his classic line: "Yeah, I'm doing this for his own good."

Meanwhile, Emperor Ruyan finally returned home. In the courtyard of the Liu family villa, Liu Zhengyuan looked at the empty trunk, then at his precious daughter, opened his mouth, but didn't say a word. The silence at this moment was deafening.

"Dad, we just went out for a drive and brought some gifts for my friend's parents," Liu Ruyan said awkwardly, rubbing her hands together.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu sighed: "I can let go of other things, but how could you bring yourself to take the Lao Ban Zhang tea from my cupboard? I haven't even been willing to drink it myself!"

"Huh? What kind of stamp? Is it very expensive? I saw you had so much tea but didn't drink it, and I thought you weren't used to it. Besides, it smelled a bit strange to me. What if it went bad and you got sick from drinking it? So I'm giving it away for you, hehe," Liu Ruyan said, pretending to be clueless.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. He pointed at his precious daughter and was speechless.

At this moment, Lao Liu suddenly felt a chill. He thought it was because it was cold and he should put on more clothes, but he didn't expect that his cotton-padded jacket was starting to let in the wind.

"Why are you making that face? Did Xiao'e say something wrong? You don't drink any of that tea. What's wrong with giving some away to others? Look at your big belly. You drink tea every day but you haven't lost much fat."

Xiao'e, come in and tell Mom if you had fun! Just then, Ms. Cheng came out, first scolding her husband to help her daughter out of the predicament, and then began to gossip about her daughter's gains this time.

When Liu Ruyan saw her savior arrive, she quickly left her father behind and ran to whisper to her mother.

When Liu Zhengyuan saw this scene, he suddenly felt that it was somewhat familiar.

"I feel like I've seen this scene somewhere before? Where?"

Meanwhile, in Nancheng, at Lin Mo's home, the couple were at a loss as to what to do with the things Liu Ruyan had brought.

Cigarettes and alcohol are easy to handle; just pop them in your mouth and you're good to go. But tea is a real problem for the two of them.

"What kind of tea is this? It's a cake, and it looks like cow dung. The packaging doesn't even have a name on it," Zhou Min, the mother, said with a frown.

Old Lin couldn't help but shake his head upon hearing this: "It should be called a tea cake. As for what kind of tea it is, I don't know. But my son said that the girl who gave this tea to us owns a company, so it must not be cheap."

The two elders were just ordinary people, and the tea that Liu Ruyan gave them, though beautifully packaged, had no indication of what kind of tea it was, so they naturally didn't recognize it.

The two of them knew about Wuyishan Da Hong Pao tea; his mother, Zhou Min, bought it every year for 25 yuan a big bag, which was very cheap.

“It’s definitely not cheap, but the taste is a bit strange. Never mind, I’ll break off a piece first.” After saying that, Zhou Min reached out and broke off a piece from the tea cake.

Old Lin was startled: "Hey, what are you doing? This thing isn't cheap!"

Mom Zhou Min: "What? I'm going to boil a couple of tea eggs to try and see how they taste."
