2 Crispy Skin System
The cold metal sphere suddenly shivered.
The system felt a chill on its head, and after the electronic eye caught a glimpse of cold light, it completely lost consciousness.
The system's last memory was the last frame captured by the electronic eye—a pancake spatula studded with blood diamonds drew a dazzling arc overhead, its multicolored, psychedelic light resembling the apocalyptic aurora the system had seen in other worlds.
"Sizzle—"
The system core processor flashes the last line of error code:
[Warning! Physical exorcism process initiating...]
【3......2......1……】
[System offline...]
[Binding interrupted...]
Binding failed...
Chu Xiao stared blankly at the ground—the metal fragments were turning into wisps of black smoke, twisting and dissipating in the air.
"..."
Chu Xiao's mouth involuntarily opened wide, a rare instance of him losing control of his facial expressions.
"That's... all?"
She rubbed her eyes, refusing to believe it, then opened them again, only to find the remains of a weighing scale scattered all over the floor.
She raised the pancake spatula in disbelief—this mysterious system, which claimed to be able to control timelines and had secretly given her a new body, was actually reduced to ashes by her casual strike.
Who would believe this? It's more absurd than the most ridiculous plots in her novels!
His knuckles were still throbbing—an instinctive reaction left over from years of boxing.
Whenever Chu Xiao was burning with anger, the punching bag was the best outlet for his frustration.
That noisy, uncomprehending metal ball looked no different to her than a punching bag in a boxing gym, so she couldn't resist hitting it. Little did she know…
Chu Xiao used a diamond-encrusted pancake spatula to poke at the remaining fragments of the weighing scale on the ground, the metal making a crisp sound as it collided with the marble floor.
The crooked, diamond-encrusted pancake spatula and the mess in the room are the only evidence that what happened just now was not a hallucination.
After one shovelful, the anger subsided, and reason regained its advantage.
Chu Xiao took a deep breath and began to calmly consider her current situation.
"Gurgle—"
A loud rumbling sound from his intestines echoed deafeningly in the quiet dressing room, interrupting Chu Xiao's thoughts.
Before Chu Xiao could even begin to think, her stomach started growling in protest.
She stiffly lowered her head, only to see her belly, which bulged like a small mountain, with the thick layer of fat rising and falling violently with her breathing.
Chu Xiao couldn't bear to look at it and chose to ignore it.
She looked up, and a massive figure was clearly visible in the mirror.
"..." Chu Xiao's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Eat, eat, eat! All you ever do is eat! You're already as fat as a pig and you're still eating! What a waste!
Although Chu Xiao didn't want to eat, her body began to protest uncontrollably—
My vision blurred, my temples throbbed, and even breathing became difficult.
Chu Xiao felt his brain throbbing, and every simple thought required a tremendous amount of energy.
"...Prepare the meal." Chu Xiao finally managed to squeeze out these two words through gritted teeth.
The restaurant still had the same opulent decor, with a pure gold relief ceiling inlaid with sparkling crystals that refracted colorful light so brightly it was dazzling, but Chu Xiao was too exhausted to complain.
She slumped into a specially made, widened dining chair, mechanically chewing the piece of mammoth meat on her plate, which was supposedly from a laboratory in Country M.
The ingredients were expensive, but she found them tasteless.
With each bite of food, Chu Xiao could feel her body expanding with joy.
Being forced to take on an obese body already made her feel bad, but the feeling of being out of control, where her body and will were at odds, made her even more upset.
"I have to lose this fat." Chu Xiao stared at her trembling arms covered in orange peel-like skin with great disgust.
Her mountain-like body made every breath feel like climbing a mountain with a heavy load.
More importantly, she clearly felt that her sharp mind, which she was so proud of, was being gradually eroded by this body.
This obese body not only hindered her movement, but also made her thinking sluggish...
The anger that had subsided was reignited by the various unpleasant reactions from her body.
Chu Xiao's fingers twitched; she felt a bit itchy, but the culprit and the target of her anger had disappeared.
She calmly swallowed a piece of mammoth meat, lowering her eyes to conceal the sinister glint within them—
System, you'd better really disappear, and whatever you do, don't let me find you...
After lunch, Chu Xiao eagerly informed her assistant, "I need to see my personal weight loss team fully assembled within three days!"
She'd had enough of this bloated body! She had to get back to her former figure as quickly as possible!
The assistant refused without hesitation.
"The initial budget for assembling a professional team is 25 million." The assistant's voice was calm and restrained. "Second Miss, your supplementary card has been frozen by the Eldest Miss and cannot be used at present."
Upon hearing this unfortunate news, Chu Xiao was furious. Now, anyone or anything that gets in the way of her weight loss plan is her enemy!
"Where is she now?" Chu Xiao asked impatiently.
"This..." The assistant hesitated whether to report it.
"Answer immediately!" Chu Xiao was a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment. "I'll give you double your salary this month after my card is unfrozen!"
Faced with such temptation, the assistant quickly made a choice: "The young lady is on a date with the cold CEO at Treasure Island."
Treasure Island is a private island given to Jian Bing by the cold-faced CEO. The island has a tranquil environment and is a favorite dating spot for the two.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiao immediately instructed the housekeeper to prepare a helicopter and flew menacingly toward the obstructive island.
On Treasure Island, the sun shines brightly and the scenery is delightful.
Against the backdrop of azure sea and sky, Jian Bing and the aloof CEO Leng Ao are romantically making pancakes on the beach, enjoying the sea breeze.
"Ao, do you like it?" Jian Bing picked up a small piece of pancake that had just been cooked and gently offered it to Leng Ao's lips.
Leng Ao wrapped one arm around her slender waist, and as he took a bite of the pancake, his tongue lightly licked Jian Bing's soft fingers.
Jian Bing blushed instantly, and her body went slightly weak.
"It's delicious..." The cold, deep voice was magnetic.
He gently pressed Jian Bing down on the beach table, his slender fingers dabbing on some ketchup, leaving an alluring mark on Jian Bing's fair waist, and leaned in to taste it—
"Jian Bing! Why did you freeze my supplementary card?!"
A deafening roar, accompanied by the hum of propellers, grew louder as a small helicopter flew overhead, kicking up a cloud of dust that covered the two men in fine sand.
The helicopter circled the island once, found nowhere to land, and then circled back over the two men, making a loud noise.
"What's wrong with you!" The romantic atmosphere was ruined, and she was covered in sand. Jian Bing was very dissatisfied.
Chu Xiao's angry voice came through the loudspeaker: "Unfreeze my secondary card immediately!"
"How dare you bring this up!" Jian Bing's voice trembled with anger. "Look at what the media has written about you! You've completely disgraced the Jian family!"
Chu Xiao pouted, not wanting to waste any more words, "If you don't restore my account, I guarantee you'll never be able to go on a date in peace for the rest of your life!"
"Jian Fei! You're being completely unreasonable!" Jian Bing blushed with anger as she looked at the arrogant Chu Xiao, her bright black eyes glistening with tears.
Chu Xiao's lips twitched. She's crying already? No wonder the system judged her to be weak-willed and incompetent. It seems the mastermind behind freezing her account is someone else entirely…
"That's enough, Jian Fei!" Leng Ao shielded Jian Bing behind him, his face indifferent.
"It's none of your business what my sister and I do!" Chu Xiao retorted without any politeness.
"You!" Leng Ao's face grew even more gloomy.
"What do you mean, 'you'? Did you instigate my sister to freeze my account?" Chu Xiao asked with a cold laugh.
Leng Ao choked back a sob; it was indeed him.
"Very well!" Chu Xiao's voice suddenly rose, "You just wait! I'll tell Dad right now that you've been trying to drive a wedge between my sister and me! I'll make Dad cancel your engagement and find my sister a decent fiancé!!!"
"Stop messing around! I'll unfreeze you right away!" Jian Bing hurriedly interrupted.
She knew all too well how much her father favored her younger sister, and if Jian Fei were to complain, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jian Bing didn't want to cause any more trouble. Besides, she hadn't originally planned to freeze Jian Fei indefinitely; she just wanted to give Jian Fei a small punishment.
