Chapter 4 Campus Unrequited Love (3)
When Xia Mingwei woke up again, she found herself in the hospital.
The pungent smell of disinfectant filled the room. She sat up, looked around, and gave a self-deprecating smile, thinking, "Fainting on the playground because of a physical test—there probably aren't many people in history who would do that! This time, fainting on the playground has only made me a laughingstock!"
Just as she was lost in thought, the doctor walked in. "Patient Xia Mingwei, right?"
Upon hearing the doctor's question, she nodded quickly.
"It's nothing serious, just heatstroke. However, for the sake of your health, I suggest you manage your weight a bit, after all, health is the foundation of everything!"
Hearing the doctor's relatively tactful words, even Xia Mingwei, with her thick skin, blushed instantly. Being specifically told by a doctor that she needed to lose weight is probably an extremely rare occurrence throughout history!
From then on, for her own health, Xia Mingwei embarked on a weight loss journey. Fortunately, her efforts paid off, and she succeeded. After losing weight, she became a beauty, just like her name suggests. Otherwise, Lin Zeyang wouldn't have entrusted Xia Mingwei to be his fake girlfriend later, but that's a story for another time in the original plot.
Getting back to the point, the plot has been moved forward. At this stage, Xia Mingwei is still a long way from successfully losing weight. The Xia Mingwei who has transmigrated is now on the verge of tears. She pinches her own flesh and points at 008, "Why didn't you let me transmigrate directly to after I successfully lost weight! Waaaaah..."
008 scratched its head somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, host, I'm not mature enough yet, so the deployment time can only be selected randomly!"
Hearing this answer, Xia Mingwei cried even louder.
However, I must admit that losing weight is something I need to put on the agenda.
Xia Mingwei silently cheered herself up in her heart, "Come on, you can do it! There's no reason why the original owner could do it but you can't!"
The slogans were loudly proclaimed, but reality slapped her hard in the face. After a month of inhuman torture, only one thought remained in her mind: "She really can't do it!"
Just as she was about to succumb to the temptation of a roadside stall once again, 008 stopped her in time. "Host, wake up! Think about the future! You've worked so hard for so long, are you going to let it all go to waste?"
As they spent more time together, Xia Mingwei started calling 008 a different name. "Xiao Ba, I really can't take it anymore! Losing weight is just too hard!"
"Host, you've held on for so long, just a little longer, we're about to succeed!"
After Xiao Ba's persistent persuasion, Xia Mingwei finally put down the meat skewers in her hand.
Fortunately, on the road to weight loss, besides the hardships and endurance, there are also gains.
Because Xia Mingwei was already quite overweight, the task of losing weight was incredibly difficult. She felt that if she relied on herself, it would take forever to succeed! So she chose to take a shortcut and consulted her roommate, He Youyou, who had an amazing figure.
He Youyou was taken aback by Xia Mingwei's overture. Imagine your roommate, whom you haven't spoken more than a few words to in the past six months, suddenly coming up to you and asking, "How can I lose weight?" Anyone would be surprised, right?
He Youyou stammered as she told Xia Mingwei her thoughts. After hearing the answer she wanted, Xia Mingwei solemnly thanked He Youyou.
Afterwards, the question about weight loss caused a huge uproar in Xia Mingwei's dormitory, with everyone else expressing disbelief. Seeing Xia Mingwei agonizing over her weight loss plan once again, He Youyou walked over.
She tapped on Xia Mingwei's desk, cleared her throat, and asked, feigning composure, "Do you need my help?"
Looking at her face, Xia Mingwei saw that her sincere eyes seemed genuine, and she almost shouted excitedly, "That's really wonderful!"
Overjoyed, she gripped He Youyou's hand tightly. When Xia Mingwei came to her senses, looking at their clasped hands, a strange feeling welled up inside her. As if by unspoken agreement, they each withdrew their hands, looked at each other's faces, and felt somewhat embarrassed, remaining silent.
He Youyou was the first to break the silence. She looked at Xia Mingwei's slightly embarrassed little chubby hands and burst out laughing.
Looking at her smiling eyes, Xia Mingwei was infected by her smile and also smiled.
With He Youyou's help, Xia Mingwei revised her weight loss plan and meticulously completed each task according to the standards. It must be said that professional tasks should be left to professionals; with several methods, Xia Mingwei's weight loss efforts were remarkably efficient.
As Xia Mingwei's weight loss journey progressed rapidly, her relationship with her roommates also developed by leaps and bounds. Under He Youyou's guidance, Xia Mingwei gradually integrated into her roommates' social circle, transforming from complete strangers into friends. During an evening tea party organized by her roommates, someone asked a question that had long puzzled them: "Mingwei has such a good personality and is easy to get along with, but why is she always alone and doesn't interact with anyone?"
Hearing this, Xia Mingwei didn't answer immediately, but chose to remain silent. Seeing Xia Mingwei's expression, her roommates exchanged glances, assuming they had touched a sore spot. Just as they were about to change the subject, Xia Mingwei spoke. She calmly and without any emotion recounted the reason, as if she were telling someone else's story.
After saying these words, tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks. Xia Mingwei raised her hand and wiped away the tears.
Her voice was slightly choked up. "It's okay, all of this is in the past." This sentence seemed to be said to her roommates, and also to the original owner of this body.
After learning about Xia Mingwei's ordeal, her roommates looked at her with heartache and whispered words of comfort: "It's okay, let us be your friends from now on!"
Hearing this, Xia Mingwei immediately thought of the original owner of this body. In the original storyline, Xia Mingwei's successful weight loss was entirely due to her own sheer willpower and perseverance. She hadn't interacted with her roommates at all, maintaining a stranger-like relationship. Consequently, when Xia Mingwei was cyberbullied at the end of the story, no one offered her any help. She thought: If she had friends around, Xia Mingwei might not have driven herself to that tragic end!
After the tea party, in the days that followed, Xia Mingwei wondered if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that her roommate looked at her like a mother hen looking at her chicks, radiating maternal warmth. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder.
