Chapter 388: I’m Not Fat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Du Yuc almost could not help but interject. It was useless to ask for money now! However, when she saw how serious the two of them were, she swallowed her words and asked, “Where’s your home?”

“It’s very close to here. Just follow me in your car!”

There were no cars on the road, so He Xing turned around easily. The young man walked in front of the car and led the way. It was uncertain if he was afraid that Du Yue and the others would be anxious or what, but after a few steps, he suddenly started running.

Five minutes later, the young man stopped at an intersection while panting. He pointed into the alley. “My house is here, but… your car might not be able to drive in.”

He Xing’s off-road vehicle was much wider than an ordinary car. It was indeed impossible to drive into such a narrow alley. He Xing parked the car by the roadside, and the three of them got out of the car to walk with the young man. When they were sitting in the car, Du Yuc did not notice it. Now that she came out and walked side-by-side with the young man, Du Yue realized that he was really very thin.

He looked underage and was not short. He was estimated to be nearly 1.8 meters tall, but he was extremely thin. The clothes he was wearing did not fit him very well. His sleeves and pants were much shorter, and his slender wrists and ankles could be seen. Du Yue was sizing him up from the corner of her eye when she saw Xia Ju coming over. “His waist is probably smaller than mine.”

Xia Ju was also very thin, but she still had a lot of flesh on her body. She looked very healthy and sunny, very different from the skinny teenager.

Du Yuc turned her head to look at Xia Ju. After seeing Xia Ju’s expression, she suddenly understood the benefits of having a teammate of the same gender. As they were of the same gender, they often focused on the same thing. The only difference was that she only thought about it in her heart, but Xia Ju usually said it out loud. Du Yue knew that Xia Ju had lived for 70 to 80 years, but she paid things no mind. She said these words without any malice. Du Yue just reached out and pinched her waist. “Don’t be envious. You can slim down if you cat less for dinner.”

Xia Ju was speechless. She was not fat at all, alright?

Xia Ju wanted to say something more, but Du Yue had already quickened her pace and walked to the front. “Am I really fat?” Xia Ju lowered her head and looked at her slender waist. For the first time, she doubted her weight.

However, she quickly shook her head. She was just healthier! She was not fat at all! Du Yue and He Xing followed closely behind the young man. After walking for about two to three minutes, the young man stopped at the entrance of a courtyard. “The door is a little low. Be careful not to hit your heads.”

Du Yuc did not need to bow to get in. She could just walk in. However, with He Xing’s height, he had to lower his head. Otherwise, his head would knock against the door beam.

The courtyard was very small, only about ten square meters. There were some sundries piled up in the corners and the base of the wall. However, the fog outside was thick, and the field of vision was limited. If Du Yuc was not wearing glasses, she would not have been able to see those things.

Other than the main door, there were rooms on the other three sides of the courtyard. The young man led them to the door of the room on the left side of the courtyard. “The two rooms here are empty. They were rented out to the new people in the base before this. But don’t worry, I’ve cleaned up after they left. This place is absolutely clean.” After saying that, the young man pushed open the door and turned on the lights in the room. The light bulbs were very small and the wattage was not high. The lights were a little dim, and the color was yellow.

However, Du Yuc and the others did not care about these. There was a brick bed against the wall. On the brick bed was a large wooden box that contained bedding. Next to the brick bed was a bedside table and a simple drying rack. The clothes rack was simple and plain. It was made of a few steel pipes. It looked average, but it was enough. Du Yuc understood that it was not easy to have this kind of room in a place like this.

“Take a look… Is it okay?”

Du Yue turned around and looked at him. “How much is the rent?”

“Just give me half a catty of food a day. Any kind of food will do. It’s best if it’s… edible.”

After hearing this, Du Yuc could not help but be curious. Was there any food that could not be eaten here?

Although she was puzzled, she did not probe further. “Is the room next door the same as this one?”

“Almost. You guys can go and take a look!”

After arriving, Du Yue found that the second room was indeed the same except that the brick bed was smaller than the one in the first room. The rooms were neat and tidy, and the boy looked simple and plain. Although they did not see any other family members, the three of them decided to stay here. “Wait for me. I’ll go get something from the car.”

He Xing turned around and left the courtyard after saying that. His figure quickly disappeared..
