“That makes sense.” Ling Ziqian nodded, as if Cupid had stepped out of a game. He wasn’t scared; he had completely accepted the fact.

Having figured this out, Ling Ziqian fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, Ling Ziqian was awakened by laughter coming from downstairs.

It must be Dou Xiaorong who came to the cake shop, which surprised Yu Meiren. Ling Ziqian stretched and lazily got up to wash up.

As they walked downstairs, just as expected, Yu Meiren hugged Dou Xiaorong, kissing and laughing.

Cupid Sauce, who was eating a donut, saw Ling Ziqian and ran over to him in a flash.

Before Ling Ziqian could react, the ambiguity value on his silver watch had dwindled to just 1 point.

Last night, Cupid took away the ambiguous feeling generated by Dou Xiaorong's hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Hehe." Cupid-chan laughed sweetly.

"..." Ling Ziqian reached out, wanting to pat Cupid's head.

Cupid immediately ran away.

When Yu Meiren saw Ling Ziqian, she smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You did a great job this time, helping Xiao Rong lose weight successfully. Such a beautiful girl will definitely be pursued by many boys at school. You must protect Xiao Rong well!"

Ling Ziqian nodded. Just as Huan Yue had said, Yu Meiren easily accepted Dou Xiaorong, who had lost weight instantly.

After leaving the cake shop, the two walked towards the school together.

Ling Ziqian asked Dou Xiaorong somewhat nervously, "Were your uncle and aunt scared?"

Dou Xiaorong smiled smugly, her pretty cheeks flushed with excitement. "I was busy in the kitchen early this morning. When my mom woke up and found me, she actually asked if I was Xiaorong's friend, pfft..."

Dou Xiaorong covered her mouth and laughed non-stop, finding it very amusing.

Ling Ziqian was sweating profusely. Was Dou's mother still half asleep? She didn't even recognize her own daughter.

"I nodded without saying anything," Dou Xiaorong said with a sly smile.

"Don't do anything reckless!" Ling Ziqian couldn't guess how Dou's mother felt after discovering she had been deceived.

Dou Xiaorong continued, "Later, my dad got up and recognized me at a glance. Then the two of them made a big fuss. I spent almost half an hour explaining, and then they were both surprised and delighted."

It seemed to be going quite smoothly, and Ling Ziqian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey." Dou Xiaorong nudged Ling Ziqian's arm with her shoulder. "Is that all you care about? Haven't you found anything else?"

"Other discoveries?" Ling Ziqian looked at Dou Xiaorong.

Dou Xiaorong tied her hair into pigtails, looking very energetic. Her figure became petite, and she looked more like a junior high school student than a high school student.

Also, she wore a well-fitting dress, and surprisingly, she wore a short skirt, which she had never worn before!

After holding back for over a decade, she finally lost weight and became beautiful today, and she couldn't wait to put on a dress!

Ling Ziqian suddenly blushed. He was very familiar with Dou Xiaorong from before, and no matter what, he didn't feel embarrassed.

But now, Dou Xiaorong is like a completely different person, incredibly beautiful. As Ling Ziqian looked at her, he blushed.

Dou Xiaorong also felt embarrassed. She held her skirt hem with both hands, still not used to wearing a skirt. "My old clothes don't fit anymore. This is a dress I bought first thing this morning. Say something!"

The dress wasn't something Dou Xiaorong was eager to wear; she wore it specifically for Ling Ziqian to see!

As it turned out, Ling Ziqian was like a block of wood, and they walked together for half a day without noticing anything.

“Um…” Ling Ziqian scratched his head and looked away, “It’s very beautiful…”

"How perfunctory!" Dou Xiaorong pouted in dissatisfaction, but she was secretly overjoyed. That guy was blushing!

On her way to school, Dou Xiaorong, wearing a short skirt and pigtails, attracted countless eyes.

This was the first time anyone had ever seen such a beautiful girl. Not only the boys, but even the girls couldn't help but take a second look.

Dou Xiaorong, who has always been subjected to all kinds of scorn and ridicule, is not used to being watched by others.

She awkwardly shuffled over to Ling Ziqian's side, and the two walked forward side by side. At that moment, how much she wished Ling Ziqian would hold her hand.

"Do you remember what we said?" Ling Ziqian smiled.

"Hmm?" Dou Xiaorong raised her head in confusion.

"You said you were an ugly duckling, and I said you would become a swan. What are you now?"

Dou Xiaorong looked down at her dress, then grinned and exclaimed, "I'm a swan!"

“Swans always hold their heads high, unlike you who are so timid and hesitant.”

"Hehe, um!"

Dou Xiaorong confidently raised her head. With Ling Ziqian beside her, she was unafraid of any stares.

With her head held high, Dou Xiaorong walked forward step by step with unwavering confidence. The boys and girls on the road who met her gaze all lowered their heads in shame.

A feeling of unprecedented joy welled up inside her, and Dou Xiaorong couldn't help but smile. She whispered, "Ziqian..."

"what's wrong?"

"From now on, you can call me Dourongbao!"

"what?"

"No matter what I do, I'm still your sweet bun, aren't I?"

After saying those words, Dou Xiaorong felt incredibly shy. She lowered her head and quickly ran into Shilian Middle School.

Ling Ziqian paused for a moment, then chuckled and scratched his head.

Huan Yue chuckled, "You've been confessed to!"

"What kind of confession is this!" Ling Ziqian didn't think it was a confession at all.

"You're really good at playing dumb!"

Ling Ziqian ignored Huan Yue's complaints and quickly walked into the classroom.

In the classroom, Su Mingxi looked at Dou Xiaorong in surprise, then hugged Dou Xiaorong tightly, laughing incessantly.

The students in the class were all dumbfounded, unable to believe that the girl in the short skirt and with her cute pigtails was Dou Xiaorong!

Many students who entered the class were immediately drawn to Dou Xiaorong. They asked the people next to them, "Who is that? Is she a transfer student?"

Everyone was stunned when they learned that it was Dou Xiaorong!

Dou Xiaorong used to be chubby, though not ridiculously so, but she was definitely not thin.

The Dou Xiaorong of today is so slender and petite, how could she possibly be the Dou Xiaorong who used to be called "Dou Rong Bao" (a nickname for a small dumpling)?

But the facts are right in front of us, leaving no room for disbelief!

Just like in a fairy tale, overnight, the ugly duckling turned into a swan.

Boys who had never interacted with Dou Xiaorong before were now eager to approach her and strike up a conversation.

The girls went even crazier. Although they weren't familiar with Dou Xiaorong, they swarmed around her, praising her beauty and asking her about her weight loss methods.

The class quieted down only after the bell rang, but many students still whispered among themselves and looked at Dou Xiaorong with envy.

From childhood to adulthood, Dou Xiaorong has suffered countless scornful looks and insults.

Nowadays, everyone is generous with their praise and compliments to her.

Dou Xiaorong did not become arrogant or lose her head.

Over the years, she has become strong-willed and able to remain calm in the face of both honor and disgrace.

When I was ugly, they hated and stayed away from me, but now that I'm beautiful, they all come running to me.

"What's so special about this?" Dou Xiaorong chuckled to herself.

She looked at Ling Ziqian. He had protected her since she was a child and had never made fun of her. She was able to get to where she was today thanks to him!

He has always been there for me, and how can I repay him? I'll be with him through thick and thin!

No, it's not repayment, it's love, hehe...

Chapter 69 has been discovered, and a price has been set at one million!

The teachers who came to teach all mistook Dou Xiaorong for a new student, which led to many funny incidents.

During class, Su Mingxi secretly spoke to Dou Xiaorong, asking her how she lost weight.

Upon learning that it was Ling Ziqian's doing, Su Mingxi was somewhat surprised, but also felt that it was only natural.

After all, Ling Ziqian accomplished many impossible things.

Seeing Dou Xiaorong's petite and pretty appearance, Su Mingxi couldn't help but gossip, "Hey, Xiaorong, now that you've lost weight, have you confessed your feelings yet?"

Upon hearing this question, Dou Xiaorong blushed instantly and shook her head shyly.

"Why don't you confess?" Su Mingxi was a little surprised. She knew that Dou Xiaorong liked Ling Ziqian very much.

"I can't say it..." Dou Xiaorong lowered her head in embarrassment.

Su Mingxi smiled and said, "How about writing him a love letter?"

Dou Xiaorong shook her head vigorously, "I'm not ready yet!"

Since Dou Xiaorong wasn't prepared, Su Mingxi could only offer her some encouragement.

The two quieted down for class, and Dou Xiaorong would occasionally steal glances at Su Mingxi.

She was a little confused as to whether Su Mingxi's words just now were sincere.

Su Mingxi hugged Ling Ziqian and kissed his cheek. Dou Xiaorong didn't believe that Su Mingxi didn't like Ling Ziqian.

Ling Ziqian risked his life to run to the fire scene for Su Mingxi, so he must like Su Mingxi too!

Although I have vowed to be with him through thick and thin, I don't know if he will give me the chance to be with him through thick and thin.

Dou Xiaorong's mind became as chaotic as it had been the night before.

After class, Dou Xiaorong was surrounded by many people again, even girls from the next class came over.

Everyone's goal was simple: they wanted Dou Xiaorong's amazing weight loss method.

Dou Xiaorong gave everyone a perfunctory answer, saying that it was a slimming potion that a friend had brought back from abroad, which was not sold in China.

The girls started asking about the brand of slimming pills. Dou Xiaorong wanted to ask Ling Ziqian for help, but there were just too many people surrounding her.
