Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera Chapter 155 - 154: Ye Ling’s Little Weight-Loss Trick

Upon hearing that, Ye Ling’s gaze instinctively drifted to Ning Ruoxi’s prominent chest. A suggestive smile spread across his face. "Hehe, you really are stacked."

"You pervert! So shaless!"

Feeling Ye Ling’s gaze on her, Ning Ruoxi snapped back to reality. She scoffed lightly, her face tinged with a bashful blush.

’What is this guy thinking about all day?’

"How is that shaless?"

But Ye Ling put on an air of righteous conviction. He set down his chopsticks and said with a serious expression, "I believe that liking soone is a feeling born from a combination of factors—like their personality, their values, and even their figure. All of it affects the degree of affection. I like you, so I like everything about you."

"Hmph! You’re such a smooth talker."

Ning Ruoxi let out a small huff after hearing his words, but she was actually in a rather good mood.

After all, who doesn’t like being complinted?

Especially when the complint ca from the person she liked!

Right then, Ning Ruoxi’s heart felt as sweet as honey. She even picked up another slice of beef with her chopsticks and began to chew.

’This is true happiness... Having soone who loves , who cares about my health, who makes sure I eat enough, who takes care of ...’

Ning Ruoxi looked at Ye Ling, a silly smile spreading across her face.

’She had to be the happiest person in the world!’

"But I’m eating so much. What if I get fat?"

As Ning Ruoxi ate, she looked down at her nearly empty bowl and suddenly voiced a concern.

"Then just go for a run. Working out is the best way to maintain your figure."

Ye Ling mumbled in reply, still shoveling rice into his mouth.

’Dieting just turns you into a bag of bones, but working out can make your figure even more perfect. The better option is obvious.’

"Hmph! So you’re saying you *would* mind if I got fat, then?"

Ning Ruoxi imdiately pouted, her voice laced with dissatisfaction.

"No, I didn’t an that..."

Ye Ling’s face was a mask of innocence. Seeing that the little miss seed to be angry again, he felt a headache coming on.

’Just as I thought.’

’It was just like the song lyrics said.’

’Love is like a storm, coming and going in a flash.’

’Ye Ling felt the lyric needed a prerequisite: it should be a *woman’s* love that’s like a storm—so unpredictable.’

"Hmph, n are all two-faced."

Ning Ruoxi snorted.

"My dear lady, can we be reasonable here?"

Ye Ling was exasperated.

"So you think I’m just making a scene now, is that it?"

"The love is gone, isn’t it?"

"Fine, I get it. I should have expected this. I guess I just placed too much hope in this relationship."

The words tumbled out of Ning Ruoxi’s mouth like a machine gun, one sentence after another.

Ye Ling was completely baffled. ’What the hell just happened?’

’All I fucking said was to exercise if she was worried about getting fat... How did it escalate to this? The crazy part was, the more she talked, the more he actually started to feel like he *was* in the wrong.’

At that mont, Ye Ling really wanted to give Ning Ruoxi a thumbs-up and shout, ’You’re incredible!’

"Mmphh..."

But just as Ning Ruoxi was about to say sothing else, Ye Ling suddenly reached out, cupped the back of her head, leaned in, and silenced her with a kiss.

He could still taste the numbing spice from the beef they’d just eaten. Her delicate red lips seed even more tender than the at, and Ye Ling couldn’t resist giving them a light nibble.

Then, seeing that she was stunned into silence, Ye Ling sat back in his seat.

"What was that for?!"

Ning Ruoxi pouted, her upper lip still tingling. She rubbed it subconsciously.

’Hmph, it’s even a little swollen!’

"Weren’t you worried about getting fat? I heard kissing burns calories, so I was just helping you out."

Ye Ling said casually, taking another mouthful of rice.

Upon hearing this, Ning Ruoxi’s beautiful eyes widened in an instant.

’This man... could he be any more shaless?’

’How could he just...’

’Claim that kissing helps you lose weight?’

"You’re just a big pervert, is what you are."

Ning Ruoxi pouted and muttered under her breath.

Ye Ling, of course, heard her. But he’d been called that so many tis he was practically immune. He had even started to accept the label from her.

’That’s right, he was a total pervert. But wasn’t it perfectly natural to be a pervert toward his own girlfriend?’

"If a man has a treasure as beautiful as a flower and doesn’t want to get all lovey-dovey, he must be a eunuch," Ye Ling declared righteously.

"Pfft."

Seeing the look on Ye Ling’s face, Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

’This guy... It’s not that he’s wrong, but why does it sound so twisted when he says it?’

’Beautiful as a flower.’

’Did he really need to be the one to say it?’

Ning Ruoxi grumbled to herself. Outwardly, however, she was in a good mood as she ladled a bowl of soup and began to drink it in small sips.

After dinner, Ye Ling quickly put the leftovers in the fridge and washed the dishes.

By now, it was already past ten o’clock.

Ye Ling took a shower and then excitedly headed to Ning Ruoxi’s room.

"What are you doing here?"

However, just as Ye Ling was about to climb into her bed, Ning Ruoxi sent a flying kick his way.

"Holy crap!"

Perhaps scarred from being kicked that afternoon, Ye Ling reflexively recoiled the mont he saw her foot flying toward him.

"Whew, that was close. Good thing I’ve got quick reflexes."

Ye Ling let out a long sigh of relief, then complained, "Darling, what are you doing? That’s dangerous, you know?"

"What am *I* doing? What are *you* trying to do?"

Ning Ruoxi asked, a wide grin on her face as she looked at Ye Ling.

"It’s past ten, my lady. Isn’t it ti for bed?"

Ye Ling muttered, glancing at the ti on his phone.

"It is ti for bed. But what are you doing in my room? Don’t you have your own?"

Ning Ruoxi shot the guy a glare.

"Aiya, it’s cold out. My bed is too chilly..."

As he spoke, Ye Ling tried to climb onto Ning Ruoxi’s bed again.

"Get lost!"

Ning Ruoxi imdiately kicked out again.

"Damn it, Ning Xiaoxi, aren’t you taking this a bit too far?"

Ye Ling yelped, startled, his voice filled with indignation.

"Am I? I seem to recall saying last ti that if you ever dared to touch my feet again, I wouldn’t let you in my bed."

Ning Ruoxi retorted with a huff, though her beautiful eyes were full of mirth.

"Did you? I don’t think you did."

Ye Ling suddenly decided to play dumb.

"I say I did, so I did."

Ning Ruoxi was at a loss for words.

’This guy... he was really getting more and more shaless...’

’Are all boyfriends in the world like this?’

’No, it has to be just this guy. Only he could be this thick-skinned!’

Ning Ruoxi said to herself, nodding in agreent with her own thought.

’Sigh, I was just too young back then, lusting after his body. Now it’s too late for regrets~’
