Having had enough of their banter, Gu Hai suddenly told Bai Luo Yin, "Yin Zi, you've gotten thinner."

"Are you sure you didn't see wrong?" Bai Luo Yin touched his own face, "Recently, all I've been eating is high-fat meat. How is it possible that I've become thinner?"

"You've lost one pound." Gu Hai muttered with confidence.

With a doubtful expression, Bai Luo Yin said, "You can even tell that it's one pound? You're really too amazing."

"Let alone that, I can tell even if it's half a gram. If you don't believe me, then go weigh yourself."

As expected, Bai Luo Yin approached a nearby weighing scale and stood on it. When he lowered his head for glimpse at the number, a disdain look immediately appeared on his face.

That incompetent fool really knows how to be deceptive. I've obviously gained two pounds.

"That's because the clothes you're wearing are too heavy. Last time you weighed yourself, you didn't wear anything. Take your clothes off, I guarantee that you will lose three pounds. Give it another go if you don't believe me."

Just as Bai Luo Yin was about to take his clothes off, he suddenly realized something that caused him to swiftly turn his head around; a certain wolf had his cunning eyes staring at him as if ready to leap through the screen to attack him.

Fuck you! You dared to trick me... Bai Luo Yin couldn't help but to bare his teeth. Luckily, my reaction was quick... otherwise I would've stupidly stripped in front of him.

Bai Luo Yin drilled his body back underneath the quilt while Gu Hai continuously complained. "We've been husbands for such a long time, is there still a need to be that shy?"

Bai Luo Yin looked up at the ceiling light and swore to the heavens that he really wasn't shy at all. But there was a huge red, bloody bruise on his waist—if he let Gu Hai see it, he would definitely be worried and actually make his way out of the screen.

"I'm super tired...I don't want to mess around with you." Bai Luo Yin argued and wrapped the even quilt tightly around himself.

Gu Hai looked at Bai Luo Yin with distress, "Then, take Xiao Yin Zi out. I will play with him and you can sleep by yourself."

"Fuck! Is there any difference?" Bai Luo Yin retorted in anger.

Just as Gu Hai was about to open his mouth, a burst of music suddenly went off; it sounded like a doorbell. Seeing that someone had come, Gu Hai soon got up and left the laptop.

Bai Luo Yin immediately ended the video call—and taking advantage of that short time frame—he quickly got up to weigh himself. It was like having someone say to you, 'if you eat the eyes of a crow, you'll be able to see a ghost'. Although you don't necessarily believe it, but in order to prove whether that sentence was true or not, you still wanted to test it out.

That was precisely Bai Luo Yin's state of mind.

Without hesitation, Bai Luo Yin stripped himself bare and stood on the scale. As a result, he discovered that he had actually lost three pounds, and not even one ounce short. The second time he weighed himself, the same outcome blinked before him. He properly put his pajamas and slippers back on and set his foot on the scale again only to instantly see that he has indeed gained three pounds.

Hence, Gu Hai was absolutely correct when he said that Bai Luo Yin had lost one pound. Was his observation of me really that meticulous and down to the smallest details like that? Or was it purely blind luck?...
