A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

May 2nd, morning.

Early in the morning, Li Mu dragged his half-dead girlfriend to the Tianli Tennis Club.

During the May Day Golden Week holiday, everywhere in Beijing was crowded, but Tianli tennis court was a relatively quiet place, perhaps because of its higher entry requirements.

He called Zhang Shuang last night to arrange a game of ball.

He also mentioned that his friend Fan Bingbing also enjoys playing tennis, but is a beginner. He asked if it would be appropriate to bring him along.

That's what he said, but to Zhang Shuang, it was an obvious signal.

Not only do you have to take care of them, you also have to keep them company.

At least for a professional athlete whose ceiling is basically the provincial team level, these connections could very well be her future support.

Just like some table tennis players who retire in disappointment after failing to make the national team, some people get into the system by playing table tennis with leaders. For these people whose talent isn't particularly outstanding, playing with others and building connections are crucial.

So Zhang Shuang not only agreed, but also brought one of her junior classmates with her.

Four people, one venue.

Li Mu and Zhang Shuang were feeding each other balls in section one, while Fan Bingbing was practicing the most basic movements in section two under the instruction of a girl named Sun Yingying.

After practicing for a while, the two sides played a few more doubles matches.

Xiao Fan, who had been half-dead, was now beaming with energy after the morning's games.

At noon, everyone ate together again, laughing and joking. The dopamine rush from exercise made the atmosphere incredibly pleasant.

After finishing their meal, Zhang Shuang and her companion obtained Fan Bingbing's contact number.

That's what friends are, isn't it?

That afternoon, Li Mu received a call from Liu Qianmeizi:

"Uncle Li, are you and Aunt Fan free this afternoon? I'd like to visit you."

Li Mu didn't care, but his girlfriend was starting to have a mental breakdown.

He snatched the phone away:

"Hey, Sisi...didn't I tell you? Call me 'sister'! Don't call me 'auntie'!"

"...Okay, Sister Bingbing."

"Ha, you came with Sister Liu?"

"Well……"\

Now it was Liu Qianmei's turn to be speechless.

I asked you to call me "sister," and you asked my mom to call me "sister."

So I asked my mom what she called?

"No, Sister Bingbing, Mom is going to meet someone with my godfather this afternoon. I don't really want to go; I want to go see you instead. Didn't you say yesterday that actors have some basic daily skills? I want to learn them."

"Okay, sure. Shall we have your Uncle Li pick you up?"

"No, no, no need. I can just take a taxi. I just hope I won't bother Uncle Li and you."

"Ha, come on, I'll send you the address."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Fan, who was in a good mood, said:

"You know what, this kid is quite polite."

"Indeed, her upbringing is quite good. What do you plan to teach her?"

"Let's start with the simplest lines. Perfect timing, I have yoga this afternoon, haven't done any vigorous exercise in a while, my body's a bit stiff. I'll stretch a bit, and also help her correct her posture... Have you noticed, this child's legs are a bit thick?"

"I didn't care. When I'm with you, you're all I see."

Sitting on the sofa, Li Mu picked up a chess manual and casually remarked...

Then this older sister grabbed my head and started kissing me, praising me as she did so:

"Oh, my darling, I adore you so much! Your words are so sweet! Let me taste it, is it locust blossom or rapeseed flower...?"

"Heather."\

"You're getting too big for your britches, aren't you?"

"Hmph..."

After grunting twice, Li Mu pushed her aside.

"Go away, don't bother me, I'm transing music."

"Okay, I'll get ready... Oh right, tell Sissi to wear sportswear."

"good."\

……\

Around 2 a.m., the door opened, and Fan Bingbing, wearing a mask and sunglasses, walked in first, saying:

"Come in, quick, here are your slippers. Let's start with yoga~"

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

Sitting on the sofa, Li Mu looked up and saw Liu Qianmeizi wearing black Adidas sweatpants, a loose-fitting long-sleeved T-shirt, and an oversized denim vest.

I must say, being from America, her outfit is actually quite fashionable.

"Uncle Li."

"Okay, don't worry about me, let your sister teach you."

Li Mu glanced at the time and then stood up:

"Let's eat here tonight? I'm going to buy groceries."

"Huh? Is this... convenient?"

Hearing the girl's words, Fan Bingbing smiled and said:

"Of course it's convenient! Your Uncle Li is a great cook. Go quickly, and remember to order lots of seafood."

"Um."\

Li Mu responded and went straight into the bedroom.

Fan Bingbing then greeted them:

"Sissi, don't worry about her. Come on, I'll start teaching you yoga. An actor's physique is very important, and yoga is one of the best exercises for maintaining it. Here's your practice mat, come on... let's warm up first."

"Uh... okay."

The girl, who had originally intended to ask about the actors, decided to accept her fate.

After changing his clothes, Li Mu immediately saw two "girls," one big and one small, posing in a very basic yoga pose on the mat.

The early May sunshine was perfect, streaming in through the large windows of the balcony.

A large

The two beautiful women stood in the bright living room, arms outstretched, both their eyes fixed on him.

The older women had gentle eyes and brows:

"Remember to check what seasonings are missing in the kitchen, and make something delicious."

The little girl's cheeks flushed slightly as she diligently maintained the "tighten your core" command from the older women.

Li Mu paused abruptly...

No one would believe it if I told them, but he suddenly... wanted a daughter.

Even in that instant, a scene flashed through his mind.

He was about to go out to buy groceries when his girlfriend, who was now more mature, more charming, and even prettier and more elegant than Liu Xiaoli... no, it should be said that his wife was also leading their fifteen-year-old daughter in yoga.

She said:

"Buy more seafood, my daughter wants to eat it."

Meanwhile, his daughter was smiling at him from another yoga mat:

"Dad, I want a big meal!"

Upon seeing this scene, he inexplicably felt a surge of joy within him, a joy akin to that of an elderly father.

So, with this feeling of bewilderment and joy, he smiled and nodded:

"Okay. I'm leaving."

Bye-bye~

The door slowly closed, and Li Mu, with a touch of lingering reluctance, peeked through the crack for one last look.

Tsk...\

That's great.

……\

Although Yanjing is not by the sea, it is still the capital, and its high-end supermarkets have a good selection of goods.

When Li Mu returned home carrying two large bags of things, it was just as Fan Bingbing was teaching Liu Qianmeizi how to "slim down her legs."

He greeted them and then went into the kitchen without disturbing them further.

While preparing the ingredients, he overheard his girlfriend saying:

"Do these exercises every day, consistently. Rain or shine, don't miss a single day, understand? Your figure actually has significant disadvantages. Strictly speaking, your legs aren't thick, but... girl, you have a straight waist. That is to say, your waistline is too straight, which makes your legs appear thick. But your upper body has bigger problems. You have sloping shoulders, and your trapezius muscles are quite large. This makes your sloping shoulders even more noticeable... To put it bluntly, your two biggest flaws in your figure are your shoulders and waist."

？\

Li Mu was startled and subconsciously peeked into the living room.

The girl and her girlfriend were standing in front of the huge full-length mirror, the girlfriend's hands were roaming over the girl's body...

A proper stroll.

At the same time, they kept pointing out her physical flaws.

Okay...it's true, even just a casual glance from me shows that my girlfriend's figure is much, much better than Sissi's.

This woman has a really sharp eye.

"The biggest downside of sloping shoulders is that you can't gain weight. If you do, all the fat will concentrate in your shoulders, making you look particularly bulky. The fat and flesh on your shoulders will even push upwards, and since your neck isn't particularly long, if the fat pushes upwards, your neck will suddenly look thick. Once you get a double chin, your whole face will be ruined."

"Uh...Sis, does that mean I have to keep losing weight?"

"Every woman who wants to be an actress has to stay thin! I'm no exception. Let me tell you this: if you eat this meal tonight, for the next three days, my menu will consist only of boiled vegetables and boiled eggs..."

"ah?"\

"So, you need to prepare in advance, you know? Of course, I'm not saying you have to lose weight right now. You can indulge for another two or three years; you're only fifteen, your body is still developing, and you can't lack nutrition. But you can't overeat either; just make sure you get enough nutrition. At the same time, you need to combine it with exercise. All your physical flaws prove that you need to put in ten times more effort than others to make up for them… This job isn't easy."

"I understand, sis, I'll do it! I'll definitely stick with it!"

"Hmm, hehe, come on, let me tell you how to dress normally to avoid exposing your body flaws..."

While removing the shrimp veins, Li Mu overheard their entire conversation.

I thought to myself, "Wow, this is really treating him like a student."

But... it's alright too.

He suddenly discovered one of his girlfriend's strengths: patience.

Judging from this, she'll definitely be a good mother in the future.

Thinking about this made me inexplicably happier:

"Ha~"

A soft chuckle came from the kitchen.
