Watching Liu Ergou's astonished expression, Fu Yan's laughter grew even heartier.
"Hahaha, surprised, aren't you, kid!" Fu Yan laughed, then began to explain to Liu Ergou why he had beco so thin.
"Er Gou, when I first ca to the city, my build was indeed the sa as when we last saw each other! It's just that later, I went for a physical exam. The doctor told my body was fine, but my blood lipids and all that were way too high. It might not be noticeable now, but it would beco a real problem when I get older! The doctor was also really curious, asking how I could be so overweight yet so healthy!
"I didn't pay him much mind. After mulling it over at ho for a while, I decided to lose weight! And then I ended up like this!"
After hearing all this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but give Fu Yan a big thumbs-up. "Uncle Fu, you're amazing! To decide to lose weight and actually drop so much!"
"We've only been apart for two or three months, and you must have lost at least fifty or sixty pounds!"
Fu Yan nodded. "I lost a full 55 pounds!" As he said this, he seed to rember sothing. "Oh, right, Er Gou, I nearly forgot to tell you. I had professional guidance while I was losing weight. The initial goal was one year, but I lost a whole 20 pounds in the first month alone. I was worried sothing was wrong, losing weight so quickly at the start, but no matter how many check-ups I had, my body was perfectly healthy!"
At this point, a look of gratitude appeared on Fu Yan's face. "Er Gou, your uncle knows that the reason I could lose weight so quickly and stay healthy is all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, the outco might have been very different!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ergou hastily replied, "Uncle Fu, you're too kind. It's what I should do. There's no need for thanks!"
Just as Liu Ergou and Fu Yan were chatting animatedly, the sound of high heels clacking against the floor suddenly echoed from upstairs. Liu Ergou looked up and saw the newcor was none other than Liu Yuehong.
Liu Yuehong was as beautiful as ever, her beauty having not faded in the slightest, and she still had a knockout figure. Based on a quick glance, it seems her chest has gotten even bigger. Liu Ergou thought. Although he wasn't sure, he could tell that despite looking the sa as before, Liu Yuehong didn't have the sa radiant glow about her. It's like sothing is missing.
While Liu Ergou was pondering this, Liu Yuehong let out a cry of surprise.
"Ah? Er Gou?" she exclaid. "It's really been a long ti!" With that, she hurriedly ran downstairs and ca to a stop before him.
Once in front of him, Liu Yuehong didn't say much. She just gave him a once-over and then nodded. "Er Gou, you've bulked up quite a bit in the past few months!"
Liu Ergou gave an awkward laugh and didn't say much. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk; he genuinely didn't know what to say. If Fu Yan weren't here... ahem...
Just then, Fu Yan waved his hand grandly and announced, "Alright, that's enough reminiscing for now! We'll have plenty of ti to catch up later. Let's go eat! I've already made reservations at the hotel. Let's go, let's go!"
With that, the group left the villa and headed straight for the hotel. Soon, the four of them arrived and were seated in a private room. The food was served quickly, with all the dishes arriving in just over ten minutes. The ti that followed was naturally spent with Liu Ergou and Fu Yan drinking and catching up. The two hadn't seen each other for several months, so their conversation was especially joyous. They talked about everything under the sun, jumping from one topic to the next as it ca to mind.
Just like that, two hours flew by.
Fu Yan was already flushed red from drinking, his consciousness starting to blur. As for Liu Ergou, he was no different from before he started drinking, aside from a slight redness on his face.
Looking at Liu Ergou, Fu Yan said with a laugh, "Er Gou, you're still the sa as ever! You can drink anyone under the table! I really envy that about you. By the way, Er Gou, your uncle needs to ask you for a favor. Er Gou, would you..."
The mont he heard this, Liu Ergou's ears perked up instantly. I knew it. He must need my help with sothing but was too embarrassed to ask outright. That's why he invited to dinner. Now that we've had a few drinks, it's ti to bring it up. If he doesn't say it now, he'll lose his chance.
With this in mind, Liu Ergou said hurriedly, "Uncle Fu, just tell what it is! Back in town, you helped out big ti, and I, Liu Ergou, am not an ungrateful person. I always repay my debts. If you're in trouble, just say it. As long as I can help, I definitely will! Of course, if it's anything illegal, I can't help you!"
After hearing Liu Ergou's words, Fu Yan was taken aback for a mont, then burst out laughing. "Hahaha, Er Gou, you kid! I don't know what to say to you, bringing up illegal activities! My current status is quite special. If I dared to do anything illegal, you wouldn't even have to do anything; there's a whole line of people waiting to deal with !
"Let tell you, the favor I want to ask isn't difficult. In fact, for you, it should be very simple!" Fu Yan took another sip of his drink. "It's about an old friend of mine. He's fallen ill with a very peculiar sickness. We've already seen many doctors, but none could cure him, and that's why I thought of you! So, Er Gou..."
Liu Ergou was no fool; he understood what Fu Yan ant.
"I get it, Uncle Fu!" Liu Ergou said. "You just need to treat soone, right? For , Liu Ergou, that's a piece of cake! But not today. We've both been drinking, and it would be disrespectful to show up like this. How about this: we'll set off first thing tomorrow morning. And I, Liu Ergou, am a man of my word!"
When Fu Yan heard Liu Ergou agree, his face lit up with joy, and he raised his glass to have a few more rounds with him. But after just one sip, Fu Yan couldn't take it anymore and passed out right on the table.
Seeing this, Liu Ergou sighed softly. "Ah, Uncle Fu, what was all that for? With our relationship, even if you hadn't bought a drink, I would've helped you."
With that, Liu Ergou hoisted Fu Yan up and then jerked his chin toward Fu Ya and Liu Yuehong. "Let's go, ti to head back. Uncle Fu is completely plastered!"
Fu Ya nodded and headed straight outside.
Liu Yuehong, however, quickly walked up to Er Gou and gave him a look brimming with affection. Only then did she turn and follow Fu Ya out the door.
As for Liu Ergou, he just shook his head with a smile and left the hotel as well.
