Chapter 1200: Chapter 913: Little Star Side Story (6)_2

After hearing Shang Ou’s words, You Jingyi instinctively touched his face and suddenly frowned. It seemed like there was more flesh there. You Jingyi certainly knew the reason. Eating so lavishly every night these days, gaining weight was very likely.

But he didn’t want to keep gaining weight. After spending time together these days, he found himself liking that little girl more and more. However, he felt the more she saw him as her teacher. That wasn’t going to work. He wasn’t noticed by her originally, and if he got fatter, he’d stand out even less.

You Jingyi made a decision right then and there—lose weight.

So, that night, after tutoring Little Star, he returned home, changed clothes, and went out for a run.

The next morning, Little Star saw You Jingyi dressed in sportswear as if he had just returned from running, and she smiled in surprise, "I’ve known you for so long, and it’s the first time I’ve seen you running."

You Jingyi chuckled, looking at her with a smile, and said, "This person doesn’t really like exercising. It’s just that I’ve been fattened up by a certain someone these days, and without exercise, it wouldn’t do."

Little Star’s face turned red uncontrollably at his words. She didn’t even know why her face turned red; she just felt that what You Jingyi said was quite different.

How it was different, she couldn’t say for sure at the moment. Little Star just smiled and didn’t say anything, lowered her head, turned around, and quickly walked away.

This left You Jingyi feeling secretly disappointed; he didn’t know where he went wrong and why she suddenly stopped paying attention to him.

This sense of disappointment stayed with him throughout the day. When it came time to head to her house, You Jingyi didn’t know whether to go or not. He thought about it all day; what he said this morning was indeed a bit ambiguous. She’s such a perceptive person, she certainly noticed, which is why it happened.

Suddenly realizing she didn’t like him, the sense of disappointment in You Jingyi’s heart grew even stronger.

Hesitant, he still summoned the courage to go.

You Jingyi looked at the calm Little Star, who was no longer ignoring people like she did today.

"Are you and your friends free tomorrow? I’ve invited some classmates over for dinner at my house. You all should come too," Little Star said to You Jingyi as she was leaving.

You Jingyi hesitated for a moment; he didn’t typically enjoy such parties. But he didn’t want to refuse her invitation, so he nodded, "Alright."

"Great, come over in the morning tomorrow," Little Star smiled and closed the door.

Seeing her happy expression, much of You Jingyi’s disappointment throughout the day dissipated, and he went out to run some laps, so tired that he couldn’t think about anything else.

This time, You Jingyi wasn’t unkind enough to miss calling Shang Ou; he called him early in the morning to invite him over. Shang Ou heard there would be a feast and came running happily.

When they arrived, there were already two girls in Little Star’s house, their skin color not resembling people from their own country. Seeing them arrive, Little Star quickly introduced them.

You Jingyi noticed the absence of boys, relieved and sighed quietly.

These two girls, one local and one from H Country, both got along well with Little Star. When they heard Little Star was inviting them for Chinese food, they gladly came.

Today, Little Star prepared an especially lavish meal, and she had You Jingyi and Shang Ou help move the table outside for a gathering.

"Miki, your friends here are quite handsome. Hey, are they all pursuing you? You know Hai Rui from our school; he went home. If he returns for school, he’ll definitely still be after you. I think if you don’t like Hai Rui, you should quickly find a boyfriend to block him; Hai Rui isn’t a person to be trifled with," Little Star’s friend from H Country said quietly beside her. Although her voice was not loud, You Jingyi, who had been paying close attention to Little Star, still heard it.

"Finding a friend can’t be that casual. Even if I don’t like him, it’s not like Hai Rui can threaten me. I’ve heard about his deeds at school too. Don’t worry; I’ll be cautious," Little Star wouldn’t casually find a friend as a shield due to someone else’s entanglement. It’s not good for herself and not fair to others.

"As long as you’re clear-headed."

You Jingyi heard their conversation clearly. So she was quite popular at school too. And that person named Hai Rui, he made a mental note to ask around at her school one day.

Near mealtime, when an outside delivery arrived, everyone only realized when Little Star opened the cake that it was her birthday today.

"I didn’t tell you because I feared you’d buy things randomly. I just wanted some fun."

"Xing Yue, that’s quite unfriendly. Why hide it? Giving a gift is a deep sentiment," Shang Ou didn’t think it was extravagant.

Everyone chimed in with blame, and Little Star chuckled, quickly organizing to make a wish and cut the cake.

Upon learning it was her birthday, the first thought in You Jingyi’s mind was to give her a special gift.

Little Star celebrated her birthday happily, and after the meal, the three girls planned to go shopping. Little Star didn’t refuse, and coincidentally, You Jingyi and Shang Ou said they had things to do and left first.

After eating too much at Little Star’s house, Shang Ou didn’t want to get up when he got to You Jingyi’s house. You Jingyi, however, went inside, grabbed a bank card and insisted Shang Ou go out with him.

"Shopping? What’s a man going to shop for? Can’t you buy whatever you need another day? I’m so stuffed, I can’t even move," Shang Ou said, lying on the sofa and rubbing his belly.

"You ate so much today, I bet you’re going to gain some pounds, too. Don’t you also want to get fat like me? Come on, it’s good to exercise a bit," You Jingyi pulled him up to go outside.

Unwillingly, Shang Ou rode his mountain bike, following You Jingyi to the mall. When he saw You Jingyi head straight to the jewelry section, the originally listless Shang Ou suddenly became interested.
