Chapter 142 Lunch

"You have excess fat around your waist and on your hands, and the muscles in your legs aren't firm enough. You need to train."

Yu Qian broke into a cold sweat. After being cleansed by the Marrow Cleansing Pill, she had actually been quite confident in her figure, but she never expected...

"Your back isn't straight, your shoulders aren't steady, your legs aren't straight, and you still walk in such a sloppy, sprawling way." Fu Wanwan and Tong Wei also looked disapproving.

Yu Qian broke into an even colder sweat, having always believed that she was actually doing quite well.

"Fortunately, you're still young, so you'll grow taller. As for the rest, there's still time to train," Fu Wanwan said, rubbing her chin.

Yu Qian didn't know whether to cry or laugh right now. Should she be grateful that she was still young and salvageable?

With a faraway look in her eyes as if wondering what she was thinking, Fu Wanwan suddenly snapped back to reality, checked the time, and clapped her hands. "It's eleven o'clock noon now. Today, you'll follow Susu to the cafeteria for lunch. Eat whatever she tells you to eat, and starting tonight, you can only eat the food she prepares for you. After eating, take an hour-long lunch break. At one o'clock, go to the gym with A-Yuan for two hours of training. At three-thirty, return to the training room, and Weiwei and I will continue training you in other areas."

"So soon?" Yu Qian asked in surprise.

They had all just arrived at the provincial capital yesterday, and after tidying up this morning, they came straight to the studio. Didn't they need to rest properly first?

"Soon? I even think your training is starting too late," Fu Wanwan said, glancing at her sideways with undisguised contempt in her eyes.

Yu Qian fell silent. Seeing that Fu Wanwan had no intention of changing her mind, she had no choice but to obediently follow Xu Susu.

The studio had signed quite a few newcomers and employed many staff members nowadays, so both regular meals and nutritional meals were available in the cafeteria, and one could choose whichever they preferred.

Holding her meal tray and following closely behind her, Yu Qian fell silent as she looked at the food placed on her tray.

A small half of a steamed corn, a sweet potato, an apple, a banana, and a glass of milk made up all the food for her lunch today.

"Sister Susu, I feel like... this isn't enough for me to eat," she said after staring at it for a few seconds, resolutely informing the other woman that she wasn't full.

"Given your current condition, this is enough to provide the nutrition you need for lunch today. This glass of milk is to supplement your calcium and help you grow taller."

Being full and getting enough nutrition were two entirely different things. Having worked as a nutritionist for so many years, she knew what she was doing in this regard, and naturally refused Yu Qian's request for extra food.

Perhaps it was a matter of sheer luck, but after Xu Susu led her on a tour around the cafeteria, she actually sat down right next to Zhou Jingchen.

Moreover, quite coincidentally, what he was eating for lunch today was steamed beef with rice flour and sweet-and-sour lotus cabbage.

She looked at the dishes on his tray, then looked at the dishes on her own tray, feeling more and more like she was grazing on grass like an animal.

A life where you couldn't eat whatever you wanted was not beautiful at all.

Just as Zhou Jingchen raised his head, he caught sight of the little cutie nibbling on her corn while staring intently at the meat on his tray. Taking advantage of the moment when Xu Susu turned her head to talk to someone else, he swiftly picked up a piece of beef and fed it straight into Yu Qian's mouth.

Putting down the corn in her hand, Yu Qian—still wearing disposable gloves—made a finger-heart gesture at him.

When Xu Susu turned back around, Yu Qian had already put her hand down and continued nibbling on her corn, though her expression had changed from tearful to smiling with eyes curved into crescents. She glanced at Yu Qian's tray—no meat there—so why had she suddenly become so happy?

Ever since Zhou Jingchen slipped that piece of meat into Yu Qian's mouth, the young man sitting next to him maintained a dumbfounded expression until Yu Qian left.

He finally seemed to understand who the person his artist Yun Boli said he cherished in his heart really was.

Zhou Jingchen tapped on the young man's tray. Seeing that he had finally snapped back to reality, he spoke up, "Are you still eating? If not, let's go."

Wu Jiangnan, the junior assistant, pulled his thoughts back to his meal. After taking a couple of bites, he looked up at him again, hesitating to speak.

"I know what you want to ask. It's her. But you understand what should be said and what shouldn't be, right?"

"Crystal clear! Crystal clear!" Wu Jiangnan made a zipping motion across his lips. Having received a definitive reply, he buried his head and went back to eating.

During the interval while waiting for him to finish eating, Zhou Jingchen took out his phone to contact the people at Yunzhou.

Acting was merely a side business for Zhou Jingchen; his primary role as the head of Yunzhou meant he was actually quite a busy man.
