China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 920 Gaining 8 Pounds During Holidays
The eighth day of the Lunar New Year marks the end of the holiday.

As if overnight, the capital city returned to its former hustle and bustle, and everyone returned to their jobs with the same feelings as when visiting graves, starting a new year of hard work and toil.

Of course, there are also people who don't have to go to work.

Director Sun was fast asleep, seemingly dreaming of some indescribable pleasure. He turned over, buried his face in the pillow that smelled of Liu Yifei's unique fragrance, and prepared to fully embrace his "holiday syndrome."

However, Liu Tianxian, who was in the late stages of "holiday syndrome," was not in bed.

Sun Yi fumbled around for a bit, only to find that the skin was no longer smooth and slippery. Before his dazed mind could process what was happening, a scream loud enough to pierce the ceiling exploded in his ears like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Sun Yi jolted awake, jumping out of bed with a start. His heart was pounding, and he was wide awake. With his hair disheveled, he looked around in terror: "What happened? What happened? Has a thief broken in?"

Liu Yifei, who should have been sleeping soundly beside him, was now standing barefoot on the bedroom floor tiles, wearing a floral nightgown. She was covering her mouth with one hand and holding something in the other. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief, terror, and a hint of despair.

Sun Yi was stunned.

What are you holding? What's wrong?

"Husband!" Liu Yifei cried, her voice trembling as she held up the object in her hand. "It's broken, it must be broken!"

Sun Yi looked closely.

Electronic scale!
There are still numbers above.
"No, how is it broken?"

"It says I've gained weight! A whole 8 pounds!" Liu Yifei pointed to the merciless numbers on the screen, and as if to make Sun Yi realize the seriousness of the problem, she even spread her slender index finger and thumb in front of Sun Yi's eyes, "8 pounds!!!"

Sun Yi: "."

Liu Yifei usually sleeps quite soundly in the morning. For someone like her who suffers from a late-stage case of "lazy bed syndrome," getting up early is absolutely out of the question unless there are special circumstances.

Today was an exception. She drank too much water before bed last night and didn't do any proper exercise to relieve herself. This morning, she felt the urge while still half asleep. Normally, she would rather endure it and get enough sleep, but today the urge was a bit strong. She held it in bed for a long time, but finally, she couldn't take it anymore and got up to urinate.

It's all my own doing.

She should have gone back to sleep after peeing, but no, she saw the scale in the corner and insisted on standing on it. That was the last straw.

Their true colors have been revealed!
Sun Yi's brain was still in a startup state, the CPU running slowly. He rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't seeing things, then looked out the window. Yes, it was dawn. He turned to look at his wife. Yes, it was his silly Liu, but her expression was a little off, like she'd experienced the end of the world.

"You've gained weight? Eight pounds?" Sun Yi tried to find the right words to comfort her. "You gained eight pounds during the seven-day holiday, averaging a little over a pound a day. Uh, that's not much, is it? It's the New Year, it's normal to gain a little weight, it makes you look prosperous and lucky."

"Good fortune my foot!" Liu Yifei, like a rabbit with its fur standing on end, rushed to the bedside, yanked off Sun Yi's blanket, and pointed to her still slender but noticeably rounder face than before the New Year. "Look! Look! My jawline! It's run away from home!"

Then she brazenly lifted her nightgown, revealing a pair of long, white legs and a slightly protruding belly.

"And my legs, my stomach, and my backside."

As she spoke, Liu Yifei turned around again.

So fair-skinned!!!

cough.
Sun Yi had just woken up and was already full of youthful vigor. He was clearly not able to handle the sudden onslaught from the young girl.

"Oh dear, it's all your fault!"

"No, what does this have to do with me?" Sun Yi snatched back the blanket and quickly wrapped it around himself.

"Why isn't it closed!" Fortunately, Liu Yifei didn't notice. She lowered her skirt, put her hands on her hips, and began to complain.

“During the Spring Festival, I was either at your mom’s house or my mom’s house. Your mom was worried that I would go hungry, and my mom was worried that I wouldn’t get enough nutrition, so she made sure I ate a lot of meat and fish every meal, and prepared all sorts of supplements, and she even changed the dishes. She was raising me like a pig!”

Believe it or not, what the little girl complained about was actually true. It was so convenient for them to have the New Year. Both families lived in Beijing, less than 20 kilometers apart as the crow flies. They would eat at Sun's mother's house one day and drink at Liu's mother's house the next, experiencing the kind of maternal love that your mother feels when you're hungry.

"This has nothing to do with me, right?"

Sun Yi suppressed a laugh and asked a question weakly.

"Aren't you my husband?" Liu Yifei bit her lower lip and asked back.

"Yes!"

"Then why don't you give me any guidance!"

"."

"Oh dear, it's all your fault!!!"

Liu Yifei grew angrier and more aggrieved as she spoke, until finally she broke down in tears and burst into a loud wail, "It's all over, it's all over! There's still the wedding banquet, the honeymoon, and all the media and fans coming up... how am I supposed to face them?! Waaaaah!"

Watching his wife's adorable transformation from anger to indignation and then to "self-abandonment," Sun Yi couldn't help but chuckle. He reached out and pulled her into the blankets, wrapping the "puffed-up little bunny" in the warm covers, and comforted her with a muffled laugh:
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's all my fault for not supervising you properly. I couldn't resist the loving feeding from the mothers, and I couldn't stop your determined steps towards delicious food. But, my dear wife..."

As he spoke, Sun Yi pinched her cheek, which felt even better to the touch, and said with a grin, "You're not fat, you're just 'happy fat.' You're so cute when you're a little rounder, and you feel even better to hug!"

Liu Yifei pouted, glared angrily at Sun Yi, and retorted, "Really?"

"True! Absolutely true."

"Hmph~, that won't do either. I'm going to lose weight, right now! Immediately! Starting today! No! Starting right now! No breakfast, no grass for lunch! Drinking air at night! I'm going to exercise! I'm going to nip these 8 pounds in the bud!"

After saying that, Liu Yifei tried to break free from Sun Yi's embrace and get out of bed, but Sun Yi pressed her down. "No, no, no, exercise is a good thing, and losing weight is fine too, but you still have to eat. You can't lack nutrition."

"Oh, I know, I'm not stupid!"

The two got up and started washing up. Liu Yifei sighed in front of the mirror, pinched her face, and looked at her waist with a "the sky has fallen" expression. Sun Yi found it amusing and joked while shaving, "It's not that exaggerated. My wife looks good in everything. Whether she gains or loses 8 pounds, she's still a fairy."

"Hmph! Men's words are deceitful! You won't say that anymore once I'm as fat as a ball!"

Liu Yifei didn't believe it, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Sun Yi chuckled, hugged Liu Yifei from behind, and rested his chin on her shoulder. "Honey, actually, I quite like you a little chubby. You look just right now, I like it."

Liu Yifei's ears were itchy from Sun Yi's teasing, and she gave him a reproachful glare, but most of the anxiety in her eyes disappeared.

Given Liu Yifei's carefree and independent personality, gaining or losing weight shouldn't be a cause for her anxiety.

She is who she is; whether she's plump or slim, she has her own charm and style—she's beautiful in every way.

But now the situation is different; she's married and has become Sun Yi's wife. Now, whatever she does, her first thought is always Sun Yi.

If I gain weight, won't I embarrass my husband?
