《Ro Ginger's Fat Otaku》 Chapter 1 ¡®He is a really nice human. When I was dying, he took me home. He had had cup noodles for a long time in order to save money to pay for my treatment. He was fat and got fatter.¡¯ ¡®He ate cup noodles but bought me really neat cat food and treats. He cooked me homemade cat food and fish as well.¡¯ ¡®He doesn¡¯t go out and is afraid of other people.¡¯ ¡®Although he is a real butterball, he must be the best human in the world.¡¯ ¡®I know slender humans live longer. I wish him to be like those humans who have a partner and friends and become tall and thin¡­¡­¡¯ ¡®I am dead already. He must be sad.¡¯ ¡­¡­ ¡®Please accompany him longer than I did.¡¯ ¡®Meow, encountering him is the best thing in my life.¡¯ This is a fat yellow and white cat. It looks clean but has a truly ugly cat face. This cat is the ugliest cat that Ro Ginger has ever seen. It looks cute after staring at it for a while, a kind of ugly cute. Ziyue Qin was an ordinary person. His parents died in a car accident when he was a freshman in high school. They left him a great legacy and compensation. It seems to be the start of a free life, but Qin was overwhelmed with sadness and depression that he had constant hallucinations. After a period of treatment of psychological counseling, Qin went back to school but he couldn¡¯t integrate with his classmates. He muddled on without any aim through high school and chose to stay home forever after graduation. He doesn¡¯t want to use his parent¡¯s compensation, he lives on collecting rent from his parent¡¯s apartment and he doesn¡¯t need any extra provision. In his free time, he began to play video games. One time his voice was complimented on as pleasing. With guidance from his net friends, he learned about dubbing, over. He became popular online as a result of his unique and songful voice and talent. He was known as Childe Yue as a voice actor/character voice. A girl from the cosplay circle named Bunny added him and chatted with him. The feelings warmed up their relationship and Qin even promised to marry her. He bought things that she liked online for her even if he had to live on cup noodles to save money. Later he picked up a dying cat on the street, the treatment cost him more than ten thousand yuan. Bunny also showed sympathy and she didn¡¯t ask for anything from Qin during the treatment. They still had a good relationship. Bunny worried about Qin who was spending lots of time and money on a cat and she even bought him lunch once¡­¡­ Then Bunny asked him to take a photo of himself because he had not posted any selfies online. He was a fat otaku. Bunny felt that she was deceived. She deleted some and added some shit to their relationship and posted their story online. For a time, the news of a fat otaku deceiving a pretty cosplayer sprang up across the web. People blamed Qin only. Qin didn¡¯t touch any anime related things anymore. He didn¡¯t accept voice acting requests and didn¡¯t try to explain this news. He decided to let go of the gifts he sent to Bunny. He deleted their chat history in which Bunny¡¯s sexually explicit words and her panting voice, photos of her legs, and other arousing photos of her. He exited the circles totally. He still stays home, but much more decadent. He has no friends. His cat died after he had adopted it for a year. The veterinarian told him that this cat had suffered too much before the adoption and that its life was shortened as a result. He buried the cat near his parent¡¯s grave because he believed that a family should stay together. Then he dragged his fat body back home. Qin has depression days and nights and doesn¡¯t want to talk to anyone. Even when he doesn¡¯t feel well, he is unwilling to go to see the doctor.You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. He wanted to lose weight, but that was just a thought. He has been living in this dark room and has given up on his body shape. Maybe no one will find out if he died here. Ro doesn¡¯t have a body this time, so she enters Qin¡¯s computer to be a flexible and hidden set of data. Qin¡¯s computer has high configurations. Before he got the cat, he had money and bought this expensive equipment for his voice acting. His voice is unique and recognizable. His fans would find out him if he registered a new name. Qin sits down at the computer and opens a web game, planning to play it for a whole day and sleep if he needs to. A game website opens automatically with elegant music. Qin is sensitive about music and sometimes he has hope again when he listens to music. Although he dislikes these pop-up websites, he doesn¡¯t close this one. The game is a wuxia game of Tang dynasty. It has excellent graphics and characters. It also has life skills and is suitable for grinders, afkers, chatters, etc. All types of players can find their place in this wuxia game. A few got married in real life after meeting in this wuxia game. Qin reads it and is going to close it. The page pops up the registration option. The music has changed into an eagerly style song. Qin chooses not to close it and types ¡°LonelyLamp¡± as his in-game name (ign). He chooses Shaolin as his class. He is not going to have any sex scandals. Women are trouble. Maybe it was just because he was dumb. Qin picks an ordinary body shape and chooses the default ordinary face. His character doesn¡¯t have any feature and he enters the game. Qin is a solo player. He doesn¡¯t talk with other players and ignores others¡¯ requests as well. He just grinds and does game quests every day and moves up levels slowly. This game is actually fun. Qin is not bad at video games. He has played other games before and has fast reactions. Being a solo player is not a problem for him. Every time he wants to play longer, his computer will pop up a tip¡ªPlaying too much might cause a sudden death. As a result, he yawns and closes the game. It is not because he listens to the tip or values his life, but he doesn¡¯t want to proceed with the game too fast and lose interest after which his life will be boring again. Anyway, when did his antivirus program become so? Qin¡¯s laziness has broken Ro¡¯s world view. She cannot do anything but to slowly change his schedule. He doesn¡¯t talk with anyone. He never writes things like ¡°The boundless darkness of life has drowned me¡±, or ¡°What is the meaning of my life? I am going to kill myself¡±, or ¡°More pain and less happiness.¡± He is quiet and restrained and looks like a meek butterball. He posted on his blog and Facebook in the past. He deleted his blog and all his friends on Facebook. If there were that many pictures of his cats on Facebook, he would have deleted his Facebook account as well. Ro reads through his posts: ¡°Ergo wakes me up with his butt every morning¡±; ¡°Ergo looks ugly as usual¡±, etc. It is hard to believe him to be a fat lazy otaku who never goes out for fun in real life. He never shows his feelings. In the past, he might talk with his cat when he was happy. His room is not dirty, but it is kinda cold because he hasn¡¯t put away the curtain for a long time. A badly sewed scarf is on the sofa. Qin used to play with his cat and told it that this scarf was handmade by Bunny. Bunny sent him gifts as well such as snacks, postcards, her photos. These weren¡¯texpensive but Qin was happy to have them. He has put them all away, except for the scarf. His cat liked to lie on the scarf. Qin is a nice man. Ro wants to help him even without his cat¡¯s request. Ro picks this wuxia game after her evaluation of all the games. She believes that Qin can make some friends in this game. Her plan was to wait until he¡¯s made enough friends and then she could filter some out and make him a normal social connection¡­¡­ She sees that Qin is basically unapproachable and has to do it by herself. Qin has seen this girl in the game many times. Her equipment is garbage. She dies a lot from doing daily quests and has to lie on the ground and then revives. Qin doubts if she even knows how to zazen to recover her health. Qin has nothing to do with this poor girl. He passes by her again and sees some players just killed her so he kills these players and leaves. He wouldn¡¯t help her if her in-game name wasn¡¯t¡°Ergotoldmetopatrol¡±. The next day, he sees her on the ground dead again. The trash players who killed her yesterday killed her again. They couldn¡¯t take revenge on him so they picked on the girl again. He doesn¡¯t know how many times she has been killed because her level is lower than yesterday¡¯s. Qin decides and manages to kill these trash players and take her away. ¡°LonelyLamp¡¯s friend request.¡± Ro is happy. Now he is finally going to make friends! ¡°LonelyLamp sent you a Name Change. Use it now?¡± Ro refuses. LonelyLamp: ¡®Change your ign so they can¡¯t find you.¡¯ Ergotoldmetopatrol: ¡®My name is great. I¡¯m not changing it.¡¯ Qin decides to let her go and logs off. He believes that she will change her name after she is killed more. The next day when Qin is clearing his daily quests, he sees that she has changed her ign. She looks more wretched than before. Her white equipments are nearly broken and she is dead on the ground. The reason why he can recognize her at the beginning is that this girl has changed her ign to ¡°KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman¡±. KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®Elite! Elite, carry me¡­¡­¡¯ Qin decides to ignore her. KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®Awawaw¡­¡­Why did they bully me so much¡­¡­¡¯ She is so bad at playing. She must be an elementary kid. Qin believes that she will give up and go back to study soon. KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®Elite! Elite! Meowmeowmeow! Meowmeowmeow! I am cute! Carry me!¡¯ They are still on each other¡¯s friend list. Qin looks at her lowering level and plans to delete her after she has learned how to control her character from him. A kid like her will look for trouble in any video game. chapter 2 LonelyLamp: ¡®Go clear quests.¡¯ KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®Yes, elite!¡¯ Ro controls her character to follow the game¡¯s quest direction and LonelyLamp follows her as well. He kills other trash players who wanted to kill her. LonelyLamp also teaches her gaming skills but she doesn¡¯t seem to get it. She is still dumb af. LonelyLamp: ¡®It is 10pm now. Go to bed.¡¯ KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®Shifu too! Gn shifu! See you tmr! Please carry me tmr! Your student cannot live without shifu!¡¯ LonelyLamp: ¡®Going to bed.¡¯ Ro sees that the only person in her friend list goes off and she logs off as well. Qin takes a shower and lies on his bed. He didn¡¯t plan to go to bed this early, but he is already tired when thinking of Ro. How in the world can such a bad player exist? He has taught her so many times and yet she still couldn¡¯t do it! Qin ponders and falls asleep. He usually has trouble falling asleep because Ergo is no longer by his side. He is not used to sleeping alone, but he sleeps well tonight. He wakes up the next morning and checks his phone. It is only 8 am. Qin orders a takeout¡ªchicken congee. When the delivery man comes, he asks him to leave the congee outside his door and waits for two minutes. Then he goes out and takes it in. He peeks through the peephole to make sure no one is out there. The congee tastes good. Qin eats it and has a revenging pleasure as if he was eating Ro. He ate Ro¡¯s own. KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®Shifu! Morning! Did you have breakfast! What did you have! Was it good!¡¯ LonelyLamp: ¡®Chicken.¡¯ KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®Chickens are cute! Why did you eat them!¡¯ Qin suddenly recalls Bunny¡¯s self-description: ¡°Bunnies are cute! Why did you eat them?¡± He couldn¡¯t hold back his laugh. Ro doesn¡¯t understand why he laughs. LonelyLamp: ¡®*Smile*¡¯ KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®Shifu! Eating chicken is good for your health! It can also boost your kidney¡­¡­¡¯ LonelyLamp: ¡®Say less and clear quests.¡¯ KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®QAQ¡¯ Qin watched indifferently at how Ro dies when she clears quests. KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®Shifu! Do you not save me when I am dying? Don¡¯t you know that your indifference has hurt me? Don¡¯t you know I have walked such a long distance in the game to finish this quest? No, you don¡¯t. You only care about yourself. You only care about that chicken!¡¯ LonelyLamp: ¡®Start over.¡¯ Qin has encountered the first person who has so much to say in his life. He doesn¡¯t know what she is talking about at all. Ro is going to be dead again. He saves her and leads her to the next quests, teaching her what to do. He skips lunch and teaches her. Today is just as tiresome as yesterday. She still has not learned anything. KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®Awawaw! Shifu I am learning hard! I will make it tmr! Please don¡¯t leave me alone!¡¯ Every time Qin sees this KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman acting cute, he feels weird. This name is not a girl¡¯s name at all. It looks like someone of his kind, a fat otaku. LonelyLamp: ¡®See you tmr.¡¯ Qin feels time is not enough now. Watching how Ro is playing this game makes the day end faster than before. He thinks that Ro¡¯s stupidity is not a thing now. He can clear her quests in the meantime. Yet, he is afraid that she would have leveled too fast and would have new friends and dump him.You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. He is not an interesting person. No one can tolerate him. His desktop image is always Ergo, that ugly cute cat. Qin stares at it and touches the screen. He washes himself and goes to bed. He is not going to have another cat for years. He wakes up early and clears his daily quests. He is cooking rice congee himself. He can eat a large bowl of congee with two salted duck eggs. He drinks the congee slowly and sees that Ro logs on. Her message arrives immediately. KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®Shifu! Good morning!¡¯ LonelyLamp: ¡®Good morning.¡¯ KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®What food should I have today? I am having trouble choosing.¡¯ LonelyLamp: ¡®Chicken.¡¯ KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®Nah. I as a fairy do not need to eat anything but dew.¡¯ LonelyLamp: ¡®You gotta have breakfast before playing.¡¯ KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®I don¡¯t know why. I don¡¯t want to eat if Idon¡¯t know shifu¡¯s Facebook name¡­¡­¡¯ LonelyLamp: ¡®Why?¡¯ KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®I want to be closer to shifu! I don¡¯t feel secure if I can only reach you in game.¡¯ ¡°LonelyLamp wants to be your shifu.Accept or Refuse?¡± Ro chooses accept. She doesn¡¯t mention his Facebook anymore. She plans slowly. They play a few more games. Qin talks more but he still seems to be a solo player. Ro has leveled up and sometimes Qin takes her to missions as well. Ro adds some people as friends and chatsoccasionally. Qin still doesn¡¯t talk with anyone except Ro. He only says ¡®Yes¡¯ to others. He finds out that Ro is not that talkative to others and relaxes. He is afraid that she would leave him because other players are fun. It has been too long since someone talked to him. Ro is the only person that he doesn¡¯t repel. LonelyLamp: ¡®You don¡¯t seem to have any other activities except for playing games. Do you have a lot of free time?¡¯ KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®I am just a neet. I eat, sleep, and play video games. That¡¯s all.¡¯ LonelyLamp: ¡®Me as well.¡¯ KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®What else do you wanna know?¡¯ LonelyLamp: ¡®How old are you?¡¯ KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: ¡®I will tell you if you tell me your Facebook name.¡¯ Qin hesitates but he finally sends it to her. There shouldn¡¯t be a lot of people who memorize his account on purpose. As long as he hides his previous posts, she cannot find his past. LonelyLamp send her his link. Ro finds an old Facebook account which has been abandoned and adds him. Qin¡¯s profile picture is Ergo¡¯s photo, a fat cat. He doesn¡¯t have a description for his page. All his posts are hidden. Ro¡¯s Facebook name is Ro Ginger. Her profile picture is an old-fashioned anime male avatar with purple hair, ugly af. People who are still using this avatar must be around 30 or 40. Qin again doubts that Ro is an otaku of his kind. He keeps his complaints inside and respects Ro. He didn¡¯t ask her to change the profile picture. ¡®Shifu, do you have other pictures of this cat? It is cute. I want it to be my profile photo as well.¡¯ ¡®I don¡¯t have any to spare.¡¯ ¡®*sigh*, Stingy.¡¯ Qin sees that Ro doesn¡¯t change her avatar and thinks she is funny. Ro acts like a kid. She praises Ergo and he is glad. Ro has girly things in her page such as cute animals, ¡°Share this to get good luck¡±, and other stuff. Maybe all girls like these. Bunny liked to share these posts as well. She shared posts like ¡°Share this to get $ in 5 minutes/ to realize your wish.¡± Qin sent money or gifts to her when he saw her sharing these posts. Bunny then thanked the posts. Ro thinks that thanking Qin should be the correct action. Qin recalls that he forgot to ask her age, but he doesn¡¯t think this is important so he lets it go. Sometimes he is tired of playing this wuxia game and Ro will share a movie with him online, usually a comedy movie and they will watch it together online. They type harmonically when they watch. ¡®What did you plan for lunch?¡¯ ¡®Cup noodles.¡¯ ¡®Ambitionless.¡¯ ¡®Cup noodles are good enough. They are otaku¡¯s best choice.¡¯ Qin slurps his cup noodles and types. ¡®Why don¡¯t you try chicken feet with pickled pepper, dried fish snack, sweet and sour fish, chips and coca cola, dried pork slices, crackers, nougats, candies, jelly beans, cup cakes, and ice creams?¡¯ Ro hasn¡¯t had any real food because she is just an AI. Qin is eating food at the computer and she is jealous even if he only eats cup noodles. ¡®These are girl¡¯s food. I don¡¯t like them.¡¯ Qin drinks the soup and burps. One cup of cup noodles is not enough for him. He usually adds a bing/Chinese bread into it. The bing will absorb the soup and it tastes good after it is soaked. ¡®I want to eat braised chicken rice! Steaming braised chicken rice! Braised chicken rice with lots of tender chicken meat!¡¯ Ro doesn¡¯t want to see him living on cup noodles anymore. She sees it so clear that she can imagine the taste. It makes people feel sick. ¡®Send me your address.¡¯ Qin hesitates but he still sends out this. He is just going to order a takeout for her. It should not be a problem. ¡®No I don¡¯t eat takeout. I only eat homemade food. Otherwise I am willing to starve to death!¡¯ Ro has lost her mind and just types these words out. ¡®K.¡¯ Qin replies. Then he thinks ¡°K¡± might not be a good answer and might cause her negative feelings. Yet, he cannot take back what he just sent and he doesn¡¯t know what to do next. He throws away the cup noodles cup, wiping his mouth and washing his hands. He comes back and read Ro¡¯s message. What does she say? ¡®Clean the chicken and braise it for twenty minutes. Prepare dried bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and black fungus. Stir fry peppers and garlic. When they are a good color, dump the chicken in until the chicken looks golden.¡¯ ¡®Add soy sauce, cooking wine, sweet sauce, Chinese onion, ginger, garlic in a casserole and add the chicken and water in. Boil and wipe out the bubbles on it. Turn the fire down and cook it until the meat gets soft. Put the mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and black fungus in. Then cook it for another fifteen minutes. Then you can eat it.¡¯ ¡®Since we need to boil and cook the chicken after it is stir fried, we keep the chicken meat at a medium size. Don¡¯t cut it too small in case it melts during the boiling process. Choose female chickens that are fatter or buy chicken thighs only. The more boiling it takes, the more aroma it will have. The soup will be favorable.¡¯ ¡®If you like potatoes, you can also cut some and dump into the boiling phase until they get soft. Eat them with a bowl of rice¡­¡­¡¯ Is this a recipe? Qin rests his chin on his hands and thinks the cup noodles he just had is not attractive anymore. ¡®Did you just copy and paste?¡¯ Qin types with his slender and pretty fingers. Ro wonders why such a fat otaku has slender fingers. ¡®I want to eat this. It is simple to make. Shifu, do you want to learn it?¡¯ Ro tries to persuade him. ¡®You aren¡¯t here if I cooked it.¡¯ Qin wants to cook. It is not hard. One takeout is not enough for him. But if he cooks for himself, he can cook whatever amount he wants. ¡®I will feel full if Shifu eats it.¡¯ Ro encourages him. ¡®What rationale is that?¡¯ ¡®The fat won¡¯t grow on me anyway.¡¯ Ro sends out this message and she thinks nervously that it might stimulate Qin. Yet, Qin doesn¡¯t show any feelings. ¡®Well, I will probably order a braised chicken rice takeout tonight.¡¯ chapter 3 They spend the afternoon chatting on again. Ro is collecting information about how to lose weight and makes a plan for Qin. Qin has mostly fat and little muscle. It should be quick for him to get rid of the fat. She looks through the plan and continues to build up their relationship. First of all, she needs him to want to lose weight¡­¡­ Normally, a person will want to lose weight under her provocation, but Qin is stubborn like a stone and doesn¡¯t want to lose weight at all. Maybe this is how anelite is, an elite otaku. Qin opens his takeout at the computer. Freshly-made, steaming, golden braised chicken rice is there. In order to meet the discount requirement, he also ordered a soy milk. ¡®It smells so good¡­¡­¡¯ Ro unconsciously sends out this message as an AI. Qin puts down his chopsticks and types: ¡®What are you eating?¡¯ ¡®I am eating sea food! Food spree! Lobsters!¡¯ Ro searches some lobster images to try to feed on the pictures. ¡®Eat good and more.¡¯ Qin finishes typing and goes back to his braised chicken rice. The chicken meat is chicken thighs, soft and tender. He spits the bones out and then sauces his rice with the soup. Wow, the flavor explodes on his tongue. Ro thinks it must taste good as well. Qin sees that his computer camera flashes the red light once. He stares at it and then nothing happens. He doubts and imagines if a hacker was monitoring him but he believes that no one will monitor a fat otaku. Why the heck would he think that? ¡®Do you listen to radio play?¡¯ Qin tests and asks her. ¡®No.¡¯ Ro listened to radio play probably a hundred years ago when she was still a fan of anime who lived in the anime circle all day long before she was chosen to fulfill others¡¯ requests. An accident happened later that stopped her from getting to know more about radio play. Now Ro can listen to the radio plays in Qin¡¯s computer storage. It feels different when she listens to another barrel of data making sound. She thinks Qin¡¯s real voice is better. His voice is really charming, although he has a fat otaku face. ¡®Wanna voice chat?¡¯ Qin ate the braised chicken rice and has courage now. Maybe he doesn¡¯t care about it anymore. ¡®Ooooookay.¡¯Ro synthesizes a pleasing Lolita voice gentle and distant. She sounds like a girl who is holding an umbrella standing on a wooden boat floating in the center of a lake during drizzling rain. Her voice is intoxicating. Qin opens his previous voice room which he used for his line practice and no one knows this room except him. He adds Ro in and locks the room. ¡®I am LonelyLamp.¡¯ Qin hasn¡¯t talked with others for so long that he is nervous, but Ro couldn¡¯t sense it and she only sees from the screen that he scratches his hair and his eyes don¡¯t look focused. His eyes look good. His features are not bad. If he can lose weight, he will be a handsome guy. ¡®Shifu~fu, I am Ro Ginger.¡¯Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. This voice¡­¡­ How to say¡ª Qin feels like someone strikes down a wine jar in his mind. The wine is old and it should be for the people who have experienced a wuxia world for long. Yet, it also has a little bit of greenish feeling like a nugmet on February. It just bumps into his heart and brings a spring rain into him. He has tears in his eyes and he stops them. He must be too old, he was moved by her voice. ¡®Clear today¡¯s daily quests and we go do missions together.¡¯ Qin talks indifferently. ¡®Okay! Shifu~fu wait for me¡­¡­¡¯ Qin has opened the game. He stares at her character and feels completely different than before. Such a girl¡­ I am too nervous and don¡¯t know how to deal with her now. Maybe I should just delete her. *Shocked* Ro¡¯s character falls and loses half of her health bar. She didn¡¯t know what is going on and he clicks on ¡°Remove from friend list¡±. She doesn¡¯t have other options but to act dumb again. Qin pauses his cursor at ¡°delete¡±. ¡®*Cough*¡­¡­¡¯ Ro makes a coughing sound and sees that Qin frowns. She coughs more and more and acts feeble. ¡®Sorry Shifu~fu.¡¯ Ro apologizes in a soft girly way. Qin has been defeated by her voice and moves his cursor elsewhere. ¡®Are you sick? Is it severe? Did you see the doctor yet?¡¯ ¡®No, I always cough and I have pills. Please don¡¯t avoid me in the game. I know I am bad at it but I will try¡­¡­¡¯ Ro has tried her best with all her performance talent to express her grievance, adamancy, and her vitality. This combination of feelings can soften others. ¡®I don¡¯t feel well for most of the time and cannot leave my room. I can only play at home and don¡¯t have any real life friends. If shifu dumps me, Iwon¡¯t know what to do.¡¯ Qin feels guilty with a little doubt. She seems to know what I want to do? Then he thinks that she even fell during a walk. A normal-level player won¡¯t even have such ¡°skill¡±. She probably has realized it and tried to explain it to me¡­¡­ ¡®I won¡¯t.¡¯ Qin says. His voice sounds like a Childe voice, carefree, ignorant but not obnoxious. Whenever she hears his voice, she wants to hear more¡­¡­ Ro is not a voice fan, but she values his voice because he seldom talks. She thinks voice chat is a good invention to let him speak for a long time teaching her how to play this wuxia game. ¡®I doubt you are using a cheating program, a stupid program. How could such a low level mob kill you? I was just afk for a while and come back to find out that you have died twice.¡¯ Ro forgot to control her character and left it alone for a while. Qin went to the restroom and finds out her level has dropped. He feels tired. ¡®Shifu~fu! I won¡¯t be like this next time¡­¡­¡¯ Ro sounds lazy and carefree. She even yawns. Her apology doesn¡¯t sound sincere at all. Qin feels even more tired. Ro titters quietly when she sees his facial expression. ¡®Fine, go to sleep now.¡¯ Qin looks at the time, it is nearly 10 pm. ¡®Shifu~fu, do you sleep this early?¡¯ ¡®Yeah.¡¯ ¡®The night just begins~ Boy, why do you sleep so early? What is sleep?¡¯ Qin hears her lazy voice and the wine jar in his heart has broken into ash. She sounded like a feeble girl at the beginning but now she is like a lazy fat otaku who yawns all day. He feels less distance between them. ¡®Staying up late is not good for kidneys and you won¡¯t grow tall. A good kid should go to bed now.¡¯ ¡®Wow¡­¡­ You sound experienced, but I know Shifu~fu is a single autistic boy as well. Take it easy. This is not a problem at all.¡¯ ¡®¡­¡­I have my own plan.¡¯ Qin feels an arrow on his knees. He doesn¡¯t know what else to say to contradict her. ¡®Oh yeah yeahyeah!¡¯ She sounds adored but he feels more pain on his knees now. Sometimes he doubts if Ro did it on purpose to frustrate him. Why has she not improved after his teaching for so long? She even talks with less and less respect. She was still a polite cute girl at the beginning. Fine, I know her actually just by reading her ign ¡°Ergotoldmetopatrol¡± and ¡°KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman¡±. No matter what she says and what she does, he thinks it is reasonable since she could come up with such a troll name. This is probably her personality. ¡®Where the fuck are girl players¡­¡­¡¯ Qin hears her murmurs and naturally ignores what she said. Ro logs off and pretends to sleep. Qin logs on her account and finishes the mission. Then he buys her a set of new gears. Her character looks elite after that. Qin feels good. He logs off and opens Amazon. He doesn¡¯t know what to buy. He suddenly lost the interest to eat cup noodles. He ordered from Wal-Mart a bag of rice, a box of eggs, some spices, some fruits, and turns off the computer. These should arrive tomorrow. Should Igo out to a real supermarket¡­¡­? The fridge is empty already. But I really don¡¯t want to go out¡­¡­ People will stare at me. I may go out when it is early. There shouldn¡¯t be many people in the supermarketaround 5 am. I will buy a lot at once and then I don¡¯t have to go out often. I don¡¯t cook often anyway. Since Ergo died, he hasn¡¯t cooked. Qin has random things going on in his mind and finally sets his clock at 5am. He decides to go out tomorrow for food. Maybe when people have hope, they have the desire to improve their diet. Ro sees him jumping up from his bed at 5 am and finishes washing himself in 5 minutes. He puts on his mask and cap, takes his keys and phone in his pocket. He leaves. He wakes up so on time that Ro doubts if he truly slept last night. She sneaks into his phone from his computer and she feels like a fish swimming from an ocean to a small lake. Qin is familiar with the supermarket nearby. He sees some people exercising in the morning. Even an old guy has a better body shape than him. Doesn¡¯t he have any feelings when he sees that? chapter 4 Qin did research on how to pick fresh ingredients when he cooked food for Ergo. He still remembers how to pick fresh ingredients for himself. The workers in the supermarket see him fat and suggest to him to get more. This young man is so big. He must have a big stomach. Qin bought two chickens, some pork, some ribs, and chicken thighs. He also bought green peppers, shiitake mushrooms, potatoes, dried bamboo shoots, tomatoes and Chinese cabbage. He got two big bags of food. This obese Qin carries the bags and wants to buy an electric scooter because the bags are heavy for him. But a scooter is too small for his size and he will probably crash the scooter once he gets on. When he gets home, he puts away the food in the fridge and cleans his room, leaving no cat hair on the ground. ¡®Shifu, good morning.¡¯ ¡®Good morning.¡¯ ¡®I am bored recently so I am learning how to draw.¡¯ Ro sends out some of her sketches. She is an AI and her sketches are well-done. ¡®They look good.¡¯ Qin doesn¡¯t really know much about drawing but as a layman he can tell that her sketches are pretty cool. ¡®Shifu, do you think I can try to make manga?¡¯ ¡®If you like, just do it.¡¯ ¡®But I don¡¯t have a good plot¡­¡­¡¯ ¡®Neither do I.¡¯ ¡®Shifu, do you know how to tell a story?¡¯ ¡®What story do you want to hear?¡¯ Qin opens his search engine. ¡®I want to hear about yours.¡¯ ¡®I don¡¯t have much to tell.¡¯ ¡®Soga¡­¡­¡¯ ¡®In fact, I can tell you how to grow fat on your body.¡¯ Qin imagines a girl who buries her face on the desk while a second ago she was spinning her pen. He speaks meekly and full of amiableness. ¡®No ty.¡¯ Ro refuses his kindness. Who doesn¡¯t know how to gain weight? ¡®Shifu, do you really have nothing to tell?¡¯ ¡®I do have one.¡¯ Qin touches his thighs. There used to be a cat lying there. ¡®I have a story about a cat. Do you want to hear?¡¯ ¡®Please tell me, Shifu.¡¯ ¡®I seldom go out. On the Qingming Festival two years ago I went out without an umbrella.¡¯ ¡®There was a lame cat in the alley. It looked dirty and skinny. I thought it was dying as well. It didn¡¯t give up meowing at me grievingly and its voice scared me.¡¯ ¡®The rain got worse. I didn¡¯t have an umbrella. Neither did the cat. I somehow identified with it, so I took it home.¡¯ ¡®It was real trouble. It had ringworms, fleas, and a broken leg with unhealthy inner organs. It didn¡¯t look cute.¡¯ ¡®At the beginning, it was fierce and it scratched me.¡¯ ¡®Since I kept it, I was always on the way to a pet hospital.¡¯ ¡®It was a life. I couldn¡¯t let it go¡­¡­¡¯ ¡®It took a long time to recover back to a healthy stage.¡¯ ¡®It became tame just like a good kid accompanying me.¡¯ ¡®It would sit on my face in the morning and tried to suffocate me until I was awake. It rolled around my keyboard to not let me touch the computer at night.¡¯ ¡®It slept on my thighs if nothing else was going on. It was lazy and just grew bigger.¡¯ ¡®I thought I could have it for at least a decade, but it died within two years.¡¯ ¡®Sometimes I still have the illusion that it is still around me somewhere in this room.¡¯ ¡®Sometimes I will unconsciously replace the cat litter, water, and cat food before I realize it has gone.¡¯This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. ¡®Living is boring. I have lost the power to like any other things.¡¯ ¡®I¡¯m not sad. I just feel like, everyone else in the world is living in the larger world and I am alone. I live in my empty world day after day. It gets dull.¡¯ ¡®It must help you to live well and to do stuff you like.¡¯ ¡®I don¡¯t have things to like.¡¯ Qin smiles weakly. He thinks today¡¯s Ro is considerate. ¡®Shifu must be very good at singing.¡¯ ¡®What song do you want to listen to? I will see if I know how to sing it.¡¯ ¡®Do you know this Japanese song?¡¯ Ro opens Qin¡¯s song list and picks ¡¶¤µ¤¯¤é~¤¢¤Ê¤¿¤Ë³ö»á¤¨¤Æ¤è¤«¤Ã¤¿~¡·. (Sakura, Sakura, I want to see you). ¡®I can sing a little bit of this song.¡¯ Qin finds its accompaniment. His voice sounds cold but his song is soft. Ro thinks he must have changed sakura to Ergo in his mind. ¡®I¡¯m really glad that I could meet you. I am really, really glad.¡¯ ¡®I couldn¡¯t be here anymore. I had to go. I¡¯m really sorry. I had to go to a far place by myself. Don¡¯t ask, ¡°Where to?¡± Don¡¯t ask, ¡°Why?¡± I¡¯m really sorry. I couldn¡¯t be by your side anymore.¡¯ ¡®Although I can¡¯t touch it anymore, I won¡¯t forget about it. I am happy for it. I am glad to be born. I¡¯m really glad. I¡¯m glad that I could meet you.¡¯ ¡­¡­ His voice is clean and clear, distant but soft. Ro can imagine sakura petals falling on the ground when she is not seeing. He reads Japanese, hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Sometimes he doesn¡¯t look at the lyrics and his Japanese doesn¡¯t have an accent. He probably knows Japanese. He taps his thighs when he sings. Ergo used to lie on his thighs and let him tap on its back. Meanwhile, its tail would swing with the song. The afternoon wind blows fragrances of flowers and the temperature in. ¡®Epic!¡¯ Ro praises him after he stops. ¡®Excuse me.¡¯ Qin doesn¡¯t have a feeling for his song. He only did voice acting before and never recorded a song. He seldom practiced singing and didn¡¯t expect his song to come out well in front of her. ¡®Shifu, can you teach me how to sing?¡¯ ¡®You want to learn?¡¯ ¡®Of course.¡¯ ¡®Learn Katakana and Hiragana first.¡¯ ¡®I don¡¯t know them!¡¯ Ro acts righteously. Qin looks around and finds his notebook of Japanese-learning and takes photos of the first few pages for her. ¡®If you really want to learn, I can teach you these characters one by one.¡¯ Qin flips his notebook and counts them. There is about a hundred pages. Bunny liked Japan. She said she wanted to travel there so Qin self-learned some Japanese and planned to travel with her in the spring. This spring has passed. He planned to lose weight before it. Yet, Ergo was sick again. He wonders. Does Ergo know how to meow Japanese cat language? I didn¡¯t have the chance to travel with it. He felt learning Japanese was useless after that, but now he can teach Ro Japanese. He feels his past experience has some value now. Ro knows Japanese already. One of her skills is Language Master. Right now, she pretends to learn from the basic Japanese and controls her learning speed at around 1.5 times of a normal learning speed. Qin is surprised at how fast she is learning because it took him a long time to self-learn Japanese and he practiced them every day. At this speed, Ro is soon going to learn all he knows. Qin feels bad and takes out his Japanese learning materials again. He is going to learn more. I just wanted to play a wuxia game. Why am I also learning Japanese when Ro is offline now? Qin thinks that but he doesn¡¯t oppose learning Japanese, so he just keeps learning. ¡®Shifu~ I registered a blog account today. I got lots of followers¡­¡­¡¯ ¡®I am going to be a celeb soon! There will be a lot of girls who like me! I will just need to lie on my bed and the girls will feed me food by taking their chance!¡¯ ¡®Oh yeah, and soon you will become a 300 lbs fat neet.¡¯ ¡®Wdf¡ª¡¯ ¡®What is your blog link?¡¯ Qin hasn¡¯t paid attention to blogs for a long time. His account was deleted. ¡®¡­¡­¡¯ Ro hesitates. ¡®Is it ¡°KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman¡±?¡¯ Qin asks her slowly. ¡®Oh, not this one¡­¡­¡¯ Ro is embarrassed and laughs. Qin feels a sense of foreboding. ¡®It is called ¡°IamLonelyLampsDad¡±.¡¯ Ro chooses to type these out. Qin downloads the blog app and searches IamLonelyLampsDad. It has 3k followers already. ¡®Why are you so obsessed with ¡°Dad¡±?¡¯ Qin touches his fat cheeks and feels a headache. ¡®I don¡¯t know. Son, do you know why?¡¯ ¡®How can I know why!¡¯ Qin says that and feels tired again. He raises his head and lies back. The chair makes a cracking sound and falls. Bang¡ª The elephant has landed. Ro cannot bear to watch that¡­¡­ The room just shook and the floor cracks as well. ¡®Ah¡­¡­¡¯ Qin thinks he heard a bone-crack. ¡®Shifu~fu! What happened!?¡¯ Of course Ro can see what happened. Qin sprawls across the floor and looks in pain, but she still has to act to show her worry. ¡®I probably need to call 120.¡¯ ¡®Is it an earthquake?¡¯ ¡®No.¡¯ Qin hides his pain and speaks indifferently. ¡®Let me call 120 for you! Where do you live?¡¯ He doesn¡¯t have his cell phone with him and he doesn¡¯t dare move. I have cracked my bone somewhere. If it pokes my inner organs when I move, I will probably die¡­¡­ Qin tells his address and the ambulance arrives soon. The property department opens his door for the nurse. This pretty tiny nurse is shocked at how big Qin is. ¡®I accidentally fell and somewhere on my backbone broke. I can¡¯t move now.¡¯ Qin explains with his feeble Childe voice. At the end, four safe guards carried him to the elevator and then into the ambulance. After the ambulance has left, they wipe their sweat and look at each other. They all look relieved. Ro stays on his phone again. He doesn¡¯t have real life friends or parents and he has to pay by himself. It is lucky that he can use his bank app on his phone to pay for the treatment. Qin is around 300 lbs and he is tall. He is just a giant. He broke two of his backbones and fortunately his spine is not injured. Ro feels she is responsible for this. He probably wouldn¡¯t fall so badly if her blog name wasn¡¯t that. It is painful. Qin feels he might also have a concussion. He is dizzied and wants to vomit constantly in the hospital. He doesn¡¯t want to eat any food and the hospital food isn¡¯t good either. He stays in hospital for two months and lost 45 lbs. Other patients have relatives come visit with food but he doesn¡¯t. There is nothing by his bed. In order to avoid more injury, the doctors suggest he does not move. Ro steals money from the internet. She uses a bank account of one of his distant relatives and stole money from illegal foreign parties. Her AI is complex and she has cleaned her cookies. No one can realize it. She gathers around 300k yuan and lets those illegal parties pay some charity to this poor fat otaku. She orders some good soups from famous restaurants in Qin¡¯s city to his hospital room. ¡®Fat man, your sister ordered you soup again!¡¯ An old man laying on the bed next to his speaks loudly. chapter 5 The old man staying on the bed next to Qin¡¯s has been there for two months. He was sent here by his children on the same day that Qin fell. His children want him to stay in hospital for three months to ensure he will be alright. He has nothing to do all day, so he chats with Qin. He would like to introduce his granddaughter to him if he wasn¡¯t fat and had a college education. Qin is able to accept Ro¡¯s phone call daily, and her cute manga. Their relationship is deepening. The old man thinks Qin is his friend now, so he begins to call Qin Fatty. Qin didn¡¯t want to accept this nickname but the old man keeps calling him that so he gets used to it. I am going to lose weight after I recover. This is so shameful. Qin feels all his face has gone. Ro thinks Qin is gaining weight again¡­¡­ She is now indecisive on whether or not she should keep sending him soups. *Sigh*. Fine, he shall have soups until he recovers. The third month arrives, the doctors say that he can go back home now. He should be able to walk slowly. Ro books a cab for him and keeps quiet. ¡®Thank you. I would not know what to do if you weren¡¯t by my side.¡¯ Qin is not used to speaking these appreciating words that he chose to message her. ¡®It is a student¡¯s duty to take care of shifu. I want shifu to be healthy.¡¯ ¡®I got you. I shall go exercise.¡¯ The hospital has good privacy protection and Qin hasn¡¯t become news like ¡°A Fat NEET Broke his Backbones at Home¡± or ¡°The Risks of Being Fat¡±. A thick layer of ash is on the ground when Qin goes back home. Ro forgot to order a home service for him. Yet, he doesn¡¯t seem to want others to enter his home and Ro doesn¡¯t want to invade here either. He doesn¡¯t like to deal with people. He is quiet and polite in real life and cool online. If a gossiping home service lady comes, he will be uncomfortable. Qin can walk freely unless he bends because he hurt his back. He gets some water and begins to clean his home. Ro is upset that she doesn¡¯t have a body. She watches Qin carefully cleaning the home. It is really plaintive. He didn¡¯t have time to grow up when his parents were gone and couldn¡¯t guard him anymore. He doesn¡¯t have any ambition either. His plan is just to live day after day. ¡®Sorry, I haven¡¯t been playing wuxia game with you.¡¯ Qin feels he owes Ro too much. ¡®That¡¯s totally fine. I am not a game addict.¡¯ ¡®I will compensate you.¡¯ ¡®No hurry. Get better first.¡¯ Ro¡¯s lazy voice comes out from his phone. Qin feels secure when he sees that number. It is just a series of numbers, nothing tangible. Qin wants to pay her back the money but she doesn¡¯t accept it. He doesn¡¯t know her address either. He knows nothing about her real life. Ro¡¯s blog name has become ¡°The Student of LonelyLamp¡±. Qin registers a new blog and names himself LonelyLamp. She was posting some cute manga of her character and Qin¡¯s character in the game at first. The style is cute and the stories are warm with a little sadness. A lot of gamers are attracted to her blog. She later drew some exquisite historical figures and many download her drawings as their desktop. Then, she accepts requests for novel covers, character drawing, and avatar drawing.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. She has around 100+k followers. Her follower-amount is nearly as much as Qin¡¯s past follower-amount¡¯s remainder. Qin has no interest to go back to his previous blog account. When he deleted it, many of his fans blamed Bunny under her blog. There are still a few fans left, which means that they like Qin no matter what he is in real life. His fans targeted at Bunny and he doesn¡¯t want to explain anything. Bunny doesn¡¯t read comments either, and her fans are more verbally abusive than his. He thinks they are even-steven now. He is a fat otaku and he failed to live up to her expectations. Ro orders a treadmill to his address. Qin refuses to sign for this mail when it arrives. Ro tells the delivery man to leave it at the door and persuades Qin to take it. He puts the treadmill in the living room. He doesn¡¯t use it but he leaves it there. Qin is feeling restless. He wants to use it. He shall work hard to lose weight in a few months. Ro finally discovers his tendency to lose weight and feels relieved. He is going to kill his fat. Qin picks his Japanese back up. He is learning Japanese and accepting Japanese translation requests online. At first, he only does simple Japanese translations. As he has better Japanese, he receives harder and better-paid Japanese translation requests. After three months, Qin actually has earned some cash for himself. He sends a red packet to Ro. Ro didn¡¯t refuse it this time. She strictly makes a diet plan for him and buys him ingredients and equipment online. Everything has been set except for Qin¡¯s health. Qin goes to check himself in the hospital again and the doctors think that he recovers fast. They suggest to him to take some calcium pills and to get more sunlight. Qin keeps nodding. Now he walks on the treadmill at the lowest speed for five kilometers per day. He sweats at such a low level as if he just gets out from a pool. The first stage has five kilometers everyday and the diet includes chicken breast with broccoli, fruit salad, egg white, lemon water. Qin lost ten plus pounds after half a month. Now Qin is less than 240pounds. Ro sends him a red packet of 199 yuan to celebrate this accomplishment. Qin sends her 666 yuan back. ¡®I have nothing but cash. If you send me more back, I will blacklist you.¡¯ Ro sneers at him and watches him accepting another 999 yuan red packet. ¡®Go away you RMB!¡¯ ¡®Why the heck will I have so much money? I can never use it all!¡¯ ¡®¡­¡­¡¯ Qin hears her smuggy voice and is speechless. He thinks he is living off a student and she will even get mad if he isn¡¯t. The second stage has ten kilometers. The diet is made of small meals of vegetables, beef, chicken, and fruits. For Qin, half-full is enough. When he really wants food, he eats some fruits and water. Ro likes how obedient he is that he does what she says. ¡®Whatever my student says is right.¡¯ Qin is tired as he is doing a martial-art squat and talks to Ro. ¡®You are a pig!¡¯ ¡®I am taking back my words.¡¯ Qin feels more tired. He hasn¡¯t played video games for a while but he is more busy than before. Since Ro found out that he knows how to sing English songs, she asks him to learn English as well. She has shown him her English skills¡­¡­ Every time Qin thinks he almost catches up Ro¡¯s English level, he realizes he still has a lot more to learn. The third stage is jogging five kilometers and walking five kilometers. The diet is the same. When the third stage ends, Qin is around 200 lbs. He didn¡¯t exercise in the past and Ro will not let him have a large amount of exercise right away. If he breaks his bone again and gains his weight back, what is she going to do? They go back to that wuxia game again. Ro is still a noob. It is not that she doesn¡¯t learn how to play or she is smurfing. Qin takes great care of her and she becomes lazy. She just watches him playing two characters at the same time. It is fine that they just run around in the game and take photos. They don¡¯t have a guild or other friends. Ro doesn¡¯t feel right about that but she doesn¡¯t have time to get new friends for Qin either. She has to inspect Qin losing weight, learning English, and she draws and pretends to be a human. They don¡¯t have a job but they are more busy than a salary man. Qin hasn¡¯t taken any language level exams, so he doesn¡¯t know what level his Japanese and English are at. He thinks that they have only self-learned these languages that their levels are casual. Ro didn¡¯t tell him that his English is almost at the cap among most and he can speak and read ordinary Japanese. For a while, they were using Japanese only in conversation. Qin was not fluent at the beginning but he got better. Ro records a piece of his practice secretly and sends it to a gal-game production which is recruiting Japanese and Chinese voice actors. Qin¡¯s voice is suitable for this game. They send Ro some lines of Japanese and Chinese. ¡®Shifu~fu, you look so good today.¡¯ Qin pauses and senses a foreboding thing coming up. ¡®You look the best. You are the best.¡¯ Qin hurries to flatter her as well. Qin feels that his brain storage is not capable to imagine how pretty a rich girl like Ro will look like in real life. ¡®Shifu~fu, I saw a recruitment of voice actors! Do you want to try?¡¯ Ro sends him the link of that gal-game production¡¯s job post. ¡®Hmmmm¡­¡­I am not sure.¡¯ Qin wants to avoid it when he sees that. ¡®Shifu~fu, do you really not want to try?¡¯ Ro sounds upset. A good voice actor can perform in documentaries, television series, or even movies. A radio play is only one of their choices. He can sing as well. He has a good voice and talent. ¡®Shifu, do you not like this kind of thing?¡¯ ¡®I do like them.¡¯ ¡®Then why don¡¯t you try?¡¯ ¡®I feel inferior.¡¯ Qin excuses himself. ¡®I didn¡¯t hear any inferiority from your voice. Don¡¯t try to trick me with an upset voice. I don¡¯t believe you are inferior than other voice actors.¡¯ Ro would have believed him if she wasn¡¯t an AI in his computer. ¡®You are a lazy otaku!¡¯ Ro know what kind of person Qin is. He only moves when there is a need. Otherwise he will just stay where he is. ¡®This hidden truth has been uncovered by you¡­¡­Young girl, do you want my doctrine ¡¶The Way of Fat¡·¡­¡­¡¯ ¡®Hurhur, try it or not?¡¯ Ro stops his performance. ¡®Do I need to go there in real life? Ah?¡¯ Qin makes a shocked face. chapter 6 ¡®Are you daydreaming? You are only going to say the lines for now. Don¡¯t expect anything further please.¡¯ ¡®Okay I got it. I will say whatever lines you send me.¡¯ Qin¡¯s attitude is humble and Ro feels good about it. Great! I can finish this world soon! As long as he can lose weight and get a good job¡­¡­ A wonderful start of his new life! Qin stands on the scales and stares at his 180 lbs weight. He has less body weight than last time. ¡®What¡¯s your body weight today?¡¯ ¡®Around 180 lbs.¡¯ Qin subtlely says. ¡®Hurhur, fat otaku.¡¯ Ro didn¡¯t manage to hurt his self-esteem. ¡®Your shifu¡­¡­is sick badly. I probably cannot take care of you anymore.¡¯ Qin pushes his belly and speaks with an exhausted and sad voice. ¡®Did you eat a diet pill and have bad diarrhea now?¡¯ ¡®Pfft, why would I do that? I was just annoyed and upset because of you.¡¯ ¡®Great, you can skip dinner today since you have diarrhea. You eat 3 lbs of food every meal. Skip this meal and you can save a meal for four kids in Africa.¡¯ ¡®AHHHHHHHH¡­¡­¡¯ Qin lies on the desk and covers his face. Why does Ro become so evil¡­¡­ ¡®Hahahhahahhahahaha¡­¡­¡¯ Ro¡¯s rampant laugh is coming out from his computer. Qin feels heartbroken. Bunny is one of the reasons why Qin has such personalities. Ro is also a girl and she doesn¡¯t want to pick on Bunny; people have different values and choices. Bunny has got a lot of sympathy and attention; she has become a tier 2 cosplayer from tier 3 cosplayer. She earns around 10k yuan every time she goes to perform in one Anime Expo. Qin never attends any Anime Expo when he had lots of fans and the founders of Anime Expo even offered him 50k yuan. Qin wanted to go but he was afraid he would lose fans if they knew he was a fat otaku. That¡¯s why he never wanted to meet Bunny in real life. Bunny didn¡¯t manage to get to tier 1 because her facial features aren¡¯t qualified. She relies on photoshop and heavy makeup. Her body shape is ordinary, and her boobs are sagging. Most of her fans who have seen her in real life have unfollowed her. Ro invaded her electric devices and sees many of her personal photos. Some are 100% naked. There are also a few sex videos of her dressing in a black bunnygirl costume¡­¡­ Qin doesn¡¯t know of these at all. Their love story was a sweet dream of Qin and a backup financial support of Bunny. Their initial conversation was all initiated by Bunny. She acted innocent and pure. Qin¡¯s heart was slowly opened to her. At the same time, Bunny was also chatting with other guys with a lot more hotter and sexier tone. She was the open sexy big boobs chick for others. Ro rejoices in Qin being a fat otaku. If Qin was a nice-looking guy, they could have probably got married already. Qin¡¯s health is not good and he might raise a kid of other guy¡¯s. Ro doesn¡¯t want to think further about this scenario. That gal-game has a handsome character from a rich family who has a duel personality open for a voice actor. He is a gentle man during the day and is crazy during the night. He is one of the four male main characters in this gal-game. This character needs a great voice actor to be popular. A bad voice actor will ruin this character.If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement. Qin practices for a few times and finds his feelings. He can burst out his talent and express subtle feelings from his voice. His effectiveness makes listeners can¡¯t help carrying on. He is the best voice actor for this character. Ro edits the audio and sends it to the gal-game production. She only has 50% confidence but now she has 90%. Qin¡¯s Japanese pronunciation is natural and standardized. His voice is the type for women of all ages. They are waiting for the result now. Ro secretly invades the gal-game production and listens to other applicants¡¯ audios. None can compete against Qin¡¯s. If nothing unexpected happens, Qin should be able to get this role. This gal-game production wants to sell their games and players won¡¯t buy it if the voice actors are garbage. ¡®If you are qualified to be the voice actor and have to go to their production in real life for recording, are you able to go out like this?¡¯ Ro doesn¡¯t want Qin to be rejected because of his body shape. Even if he might not show his real feelings, he would feel upset. ¡®When is that?¡¯ Qin asks only about the time. ¡®If they have decided to pick you, you will need to be there in a month.¡¯ ¡®Okay. Thank you for caring.¡¯ Qin pokes his belly fat. These fats were raised by months of cup noodles and now they are leaving him¡­¡­ They¡¯d better be all gone and let him have a normal body shape. He doesn¡¯t want to disappoint Ro. ¡®You don¡¯t have to be too skinny. 160 lbs is fine.¡¯ Qin doesn¡¯t need her nagging. He enhances his exercise level by himself, but Ro worries him. If he hurt himself again, is he going to record his voice from a wheelchair? Obesity is a kind of disability. An obese person will suffer from other¡¯s prejudice, daily inconvenience, and the feeling of inferiority. Qin does three hundred sit-ups and fifty push-ups. He runs fifteen kilometers every day and only eats a decent breakfast. He has fruit for lunch and dinner. Even when he rests, he stands instead of sitting. The floor brick was broken by him last time when he fell. The bricks are actually too old. His parents used to say that they were going to change the floor to a wooden floor and picked him a cute wallpaper¡­¡­ Everything was stopped when his parents died. Right now, Qin doesn¡¯t go out at all. He plans with Ro and begins to type out a schedule. He checks the prices and install instruction for the floor online. Ro suggests for him to go to an actual store to look at what floor he likes. Since he is going out again, he needs to go change. He cannot just go out with his shorts. All his clothes are too big and loose. Qin tries some. The upper body is fine but his pants are too wide. He can¡¯t walk and pulls his pants up all the time¡­¡­ He suddenly doesn¡¯t want to go out. ¡®Fat loser.¡¯ Ro is surprised at a person who doesn¡¯t want to go out because he couldn¡¯t find a suitable outfit. Qin puts on an XXL T-shirt and large pants. Then he takes a photo of himself and sends it to Ro. If she says he is ugly, then he will not send her any more photos. He looks much better than before. His skin is pale because he doesn¡¯t go out. He has a good sleeping schedule and he doesn¡¯t have black rings around his eyes. He has good skin because he eats healthy. His face is smaller, and his handsome features can be seen. Although he is still fat, he is considered within normal body shape now. ¡®Shifu~fu looks great. It would be better if shifu loses more weight. I think you need to get a haircut and an eyebrow cut.¡¯ ¡®Okay.¡¯ Qin hasn¡¯t cut his hair for a long time. When he exercises at home, his hair blocks his sight so he finds a hairband of his mothers and ties his hair upward to the sky. He looks funny when he exercises. Qin puts away the clothes and sets aside those oversized clothes for future use as rags. Yet, he cannot put himself in the smaller clothes which he wore when he was skinny. He can wear his high school uniforms, but he doesn¡¯t want to; he is already 20ish. ¡®Just wear your high school pants and a T-shirt!¡¯ Ro feels hurried. A guy spends more time deciding what to wear than a woman! He doesn¡¯t have many clothes in his closet. What is he picky about? ¡®Okay okay¡­¡­¡¯ Although Qin has sent her a photo of his closet, he still feels strange. She knows everything as if she was in this room. Although this imagination is scary, he feels that it is better than himself alone. He goes to get a haircut first. He just picks an ordinary haircut that many other guys get. Now he looks like a fresh chubby handsome guy. The Baber doesn¡¯t want to charge him too much because he looks cute. ¡®They only charged me 10 yuan and now it is 50 yuan.¡¯ Qin whispers to Ro after he leaves the Barber¡¯s. ¡®This extra fee is based on your face. Didn¡¯t you see the difference?¡¯ Qin now has a hair style. ¡®They left my hair longer than I expected.¡¯ Qin honestly replies. ¡®You look obviously better than before.¡¯ Qin feels great when Ro praises him. ¡®Haha you must be joking.¡¯ He visits a few decoration stores and looks around with Ro. They finally pick a store of good price and quality and order a brown wooden floor. Two workers work with Qin and they dig the original floor out. Qin puts his home shirt and shorts back on when he gets back. He sweats and is tired. They work on the floor for two days. He doesn¡¯t have time to play with Ro. When he gets hungry, he watches the other two guys eating Chinese food while he eats fruit. He really wants some hot food but he keeps drinking water. His home has two bedrooms and one living room. It is about 80 square meters. This home is the smallest real-estate among all his parents¡¯ legacies. His biggest apartment is in the center of the city which his parents decided to be his future family base. They also had an apartment in the outer area of the city which was going to be their retirement home. Qin gets monthly rent income of about 3k yuan. He spent most of his money on Ergo and Bunny in the past. Now he spends on his floor. He would have nothing to eat if he wasn¡¯t doing translations in the past months. He wants to play and stays with Ro more. She is nice. He wants to be nice and nicer to her as well. He goes through his savings and finds out he doesn¡¯t have any. He doesn¡¯t want to use his parents¡¯ compensation either. He decides to get a job and feed himself. chapter 7 Ro sneakily uses the money she got from illegal parties to invest. She doubles and triples the capital and stops when she has ten times more capital than when she started in case someone notices this abnormal activity. She changes the items that Qin has ordered online; she replaces Qin¡¯s cheap paint of hundreds of yuan a bucket to hundreds of thousands of yuan a bucket; she replaces everything he ordered online with similar appearances but much better items. She cannot stay with him forever and she wants to improve his life as much as possible. even when he is tired. He painted the wall in classical blue to match the furniture. He also added some new furniture, decorations and plants. The previous curtain¡¯s color has faded and he installs a new 2-layer thin curtain. Sunlight and wind blow up the curtain and take away the new decorations¡¯ smell. Qin¡¯s home is replenished with new life. Yet, the apartment after decoration is not suitable for living in for a period. Qin brings his computer, phone, a few books, and a key to the apartment in the rural area of the city. It has water, electricity, and a bed ready to be used. Qin cleans the apartment and moves in. The only problem is that it doesn¡¯t have wifi and its signal is bad. He cannot play video games with Ro. They text and voice chat on his phone. Decades ago, the land here was cheap and his parents bought a chunk of land. They circled the land with fences and planted it with grass. A classical house with red bricks stands in the center. Many of the neighbors here have a house like that. Houses thinly scatter; green plants come in a bunch; tall ginkgo trees; Cirrus are on the fences¡­¡­ Few people live here. Qin hasn¡¯t seen anyone after a thirty minutes¡¯ walk. He took a few good photos. Ro likes it here because it is quiet and scerene. Qin prefers his previous home because that is his home. He opens the windows and lets the fresh air come in. ¡®When shifu gets a driver¡¯s license, I can get shifu a car.¡¯ It is too far to walk from here to the nearby bus stop. Restaurants don¡¯t deliver food here. ¡®Nah, I can walk and lose weight at the same time.¡¯ ¡®We will see.¡¯ Ro speaks perfunctorily. ¡®You are always like that. I don¡¯t think it is good for you.¡¯ Qin is being serious. Ro always gives him stuff aggressively. ¡®Oh.¡¯ She sounds indifferent. ¡®If you like it here, I can buy you a house nearby¡­¡­¡¯ Qin¡¯s voice softens. ¡®We can be neighbors and I can cook you braised chicken rice every day.¡¯ ¡®No I don¡¯t eat. Go away.¡¯ Ro sounds colder. ¡®I will be mad if you keep saying that.¡¯ ¡®I am already not happy. Hmmph!¡¯ Ro hangs up the call. I cannot eat. I cannot eat anything. Qin looks pinned. ¡®Sorry¡­¡­It was my fault that I got you mad.¡¯ Qin calls her again. Ro doesn¡¯t want to talk. ¡®I can learn to cook food if you tell me what you want to eat. Just order me anytime.¡¯ ¡®You didn¡¯t tell me your address, your age and your schedule¡­¡­¡¯ ¡®I only have one friend. You are as important as my family.¡¯ ¡®This is my fault. Why are you blaming yourself? You are a real baka.¡¯ Ro feels guilty when she sees him flustered. ¡®Yes yes yes, Ro is the smartest. I am a baka.¡¯ Qin smiles like a father to his daughter. ¡®I am not a kid. Let me tell you the truth. I am already hundreds of years old!¡¯The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. ¡®Yes yes yes!¡¯ Qin keeps nodding. Ro wonders: did he just believe what I said? She worries that he might be tricked by frauds in the future¡­¡­ There are many frauds in society. They defraud everything beyond common people¡¯s imagination, from cheating for national investment to cheating love. Ro thought that Bunny was going to make a living by herself on Amazon by selling skin-care products, but Bunny cooperated with a few web celebrities to sell shoddy. They recycled old skin-care package and add some random thing or water into the bottles. Ro considers Qin her friend and she reported their store. These web celebrities made a group chat for selling shoddy products and Ro posted their chat history online. Soon it became a thing. They received law suits from famous brands. Bunny was careful that she didn¡¯t leave much evidence. She closed the store and her fans dropped, but she then posted a video in which she was crying and apologizing. The comments under that video are two sided. Ro didn¡¯t do anything further. She didn¡¯t cut Bunny¡¯s call to Qin. ¡®Yue¡­¡­I am sorry.¡¯ Bunny¡¯s voice is not as pleasant as Ro¡¯s. Her voice is overdone. Why didn¡¯t Qin realize that in the past? Qin is waiting for her next word. He wonders what she is going to say. Bunny realizes that Qin is not as gentle as before and she is a little restless. He didn¡¯t say ¡°Yes¡± which he would say before. ¡®Yue, I am sorry. I didn¡¯t dare to apologize to you for a long time. Yue¡­¡­I am really sorry that I hurt you to this stage¡­¡­¡¯ Bunny sobs. Ro thinks she has some real feelings. Among all her financial supporters, Qin was the sincerest one. ¡®I am good now. I never blame you.¡¯ Qin speaks subtlely. His voice is really pleasing to hear. Bunny cries more as she hasn¡¯t heard his voice for such a long time. She is impressed again by his voice. ¡®I really really like you. I know we cannot go back anymore. Sorry, Yue. I am really sorry¡­¡­Whenever I think of these, I am upset. Sorry, I know I am bothering you¡­¡­¡¯ ¡®It is okay.¡¯ Qin is a little fidgety when he hears her crying. He doesn¡¯t know why but he cannot keep his focus on the call. ¡®You liked to hear me sing in the past¡­¡­¡¯ Bunny recalls their past as she is crying. ¡®¡­¡­¡¯ Qin recalls how horrible her singing was and doesn¡¯t know what to say. ¡®Do you still like cup noodles? There are some new flavors on the market. Shall we go try them soon?¡¯ She finishes her sheer nonsense and moves to cup noodles suddenly. ¡®No I don¡¯t like cup noodles. I didn¡¯t like them in the past either.¡¯ Qin stops her. They have been talking for ten minutes. He is almost at the bus stop. He hasn¡¯t replied to Ro¡¯s text. She will be mad if he doesn¡¯t reply on time. ¡®Do you have anything else to tell me?¡¯ ¡®¡­Aw¡­¡¯ Bunny sobs and she sounds feeble. ¡®Can you lend me 10k yuan?¡¯ ¡®No.¡¯ Qin is not sure how he feels now. Although he is no longer active in the anime circle, he still knows those hot news. He knows that Bunny was selling shoddy skin-care products. The more she acts innocent, the less he trusts her. He has learned how her personality is. Any apology has nothing to do with him now. They are strangers to each other already. ¡®I will pay you back soon. Yue, I won¡¯t lie to you¡­¡­¡¯ ¡®Sorry, I am poor.¡¯ Qin¡¯s tone has no ups or downs just like usual, but Bunny can hear his satire. In fact, Qin¡¯s voice is a little sarcastic. His voice can be considered as graceful if he wants to, but now he sounds like he is asking for trouble. When he pays attention to his tone, he sounds normal. Whenever he doesn¡¯t, he will have the sarcastic mode on. This is one of the reasons why he had no friends online even if he had tutored other voice actors. ¡®Gong Ziyue! Do you lend, or not?!¡¯ Bunny suddenly raises her voice and Qin is shocked and puts his phone further away. ¡®I don¡¯t owe you anything now.¡¯ Qin feels sour in his eyes. Even though I know what kind of person she is, I am still sad¡­¡­ ¡®You act like as if I owe you something! Whenever I think of your face, I want to vomit!¡¯ ¡®Fat otaku!¡¯ Bunny is ashamed into anger and spits poison at Qin. ¡®What¡¯s wrong with fat otaku!? Fat otaku lives off you?!¡¯ Qin shouts back at her. Ro says these words when they chat all the time but this time Qin couldn¡¯t help crying. I have let it go. Why couldn¡¯t I control myself? I am even crying! If Ro knows this, she will be laughing at me already. ¡®My life sucks right now. I get sick constantly. I really miss you. No one treats me as nice as you did.¡¯ ¡®Whenever I think of your failure in life, my fat otaku¡¯s face is smiling.¡¯ ¡®Fuck off!¡¯ Bunny curses him and hangs up the call. Qin blacklists her number and deletes her in his phone. He will not receive anymore calls or texts from her. He has already cut any other connection with her. He is never going to get in touch with her any more. He transfers 5k yuan to her as his last gift for her. Qin knows that her family is not rich and she is the only financial support of her family. This will be his last time giving her money. He will not help her in any format in the future. Qin¡¯s back rests against the stop sign at the bus stop. He is sitting on the ground. He feels relieved as if a heavy rock has been moved away from his heart after he wipes off his tears and snots. ¡®Sorry, I had real life stuff going on.¡¯ Ro knows that he just accepted his ex-girlfriend¡¯s phone-call and was cursed, but she has to act like she didn¡¯t know this. ¡®What took you so long? Were you walking to the bus stop? Did you fall into a ditch on your way there?¡¯ ¡®Nah, a pyramid scheme tried to cheat me.¡¯ Qin excuses with his nonchalant voice. Every time Ro hears him trying to hide something from her, she wants to laugh so bad. He is dumb and tsundere. ( ? ) ¡®Don¡¯t trust any pyramid scheme! You will be cheated to wash other people¡¯s feet and they won¡¯t feed you.¡¯ Ro pretends to sound earnest. ¡®Don¡¯t worry.¡¯ He hears her voice and gets better. She is just a kid but she acts like an adult to comfort me. She is so tsundere. She can¡¯t be over sixteen because she has such a cute voice. This identification is done by him the experienced voice actor. Also, she seems to be good-tempered, but she is actually capricious. She must be a teenager. He secretly writes a nickname for her in his friend list, ¡°3 Years old Ginger¡±. Yet, Ro knows everything. For a person like Qin, she grades him two and a half years old. chapter 8 There is no food in the rural apartment. Qin needs to take a bus and go to a grocery store in the city center. At least, he plans to get a large bag of fruits, water, granola, Greek yogurt, and skimmed milk and so on¡­¡­ Although he is losing weight, he eats a lot daily. Losing weight doesn¡¯t mean hurting one¡¯s digest system. Before Qin met Ro, he was stingy when he was going to spend money on himself. In order to correct his behavior, Ro always buys and sends things to him whenever she finds him needing something. If he doesn¡¯t accept the mails, she will act mad. Qin doesn¡¯t want to take advantage of Ro. He sends money to Ro¡¯s account everytime. Then, Ro will send it back to his account. Qin has told her all his bank accounts and the passwords. Although Ro knew these from the beginning, she is still glad that he is willing to tell her these. Now, whenever Qin needs something, he will pick a good quality one to buy for himself. Otherwise, Ro will nag him. You aren¡¯t poor. Why don¡¯t you treat yourself better? He has no one else to spend money on except for himself. Ro has more money than him and she doesn¡¯t want him to use money for her. In the beginning, he was buying clothes. Since his parents were gone, he didn¡¯t care what he wore and got XXXXL clothes online. Now he has a healthy body shape so he needs new clothes. He feels restrained and he doesn¡¯t like to be asked by the shopping guide and he chooses to video chat with Ro and asks her thoughts. Her camera is off. Qin is a little disappointed, but he didn¡¯t take it to heart. He doesn¡¯t care about her appearance at all. Maybe she has special reasons to not turn on the camera. If a guy is tall and has a healthy body shape, he can look good in any clothes. Qin is absolutely within the healthy body shape range. Even though he can become thinner, he chooses to keep this ideal boyfriend body shape. If he loses more weight, he will be like a Korean star. He already looks good in a casual rice-color long sleeves top and jeans. He is mild and introverted with the brightness of inexperienced. He looks shy when he smiles. He shines under the lights and he lowers his head and fiddles his hair as he is nervous. ¡®Shifu has finally become a handsome guy.¡¯ Ro is gratified for him but she wants to laugh at this scene. ¡®Really?¡¯ Qin looks at the mirror and stares at his long legs. His legs are long and straight. He didn¡¯t know he had such long legs¡­¡­ ¡®You can catch up with me soon.¡¯ Ro imitates his indifferent tone. ¡®Hmmm.¡¯ Qin unconsciously chimes in with her and then realizes that she is boasting again. ¡®Jesus.¡¯ He complains in a whisper. ¡®I heard it.¡¯ Ro sneers. ¡®I was referring to myself. Please don¡¯t misunderstand.¡¯ ¡®Don¡¯t talk like that. It is sissy.¡¯ Qin seldom acts cute and now his eyes look a little wet. Ro always has a good taste. Everything she picks fits well on Qin. They have bought three sets. The price of them is just at Qin¡¯s acceptance limit. A guy cannot be stingy. Although Ro has corrected his value, he feels a heart attack when he sees the receipt. He doesn¡¯t have such a feeling when he spends money on people who he likes. He feels bad when he spends for himself. Ro doesn¡¯t know how he got this habit. Qin makes his mind that if possible he will buy clothes for Ro as well. He will buy whatever she likes.This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. The gal-game production has contacted Qin and sent him the round-trip ticket and the contract. Before he knew it, he has lived in the rural apartment for more than a month. Everyday he feels like he is in a paradise and loses his time awareness. Qin¡¯s existence surprises the gal-game production. He has such a professional skill and he can communicate with Japanese voice actors as well without any troubles. He looks good and has a good voice. Why did no one know him in the past? Now Qin is a handsome guy from all angles. He is a bit nervous and humble. His co-workers like him and can ignore the strangeness of his voice. Beyond Qin¡¯s expectation, he has left a good impression in another three famous voice actors. They exchange their contacts. It is probably because of his special voice that he can only act for few characters. He has no competition and other voice actors treat him friendly. A Chinese voice actor suggests him to go to a university in China and study voice acting academically. Qin is not sure about his enthusiasm for voice acting as his main job but giving it a try is not a problem. He receives the same amount of payment that other three famous voice actors receive. His registered name is LonelyLamp. He is the only voice actor who doesn¡¯t use his real name. He doesn¡¯t want to show his real identity to the public when he is not ready yet. The game is still waiting to be published. Qin has nothing to do and begins to study under Ro¡¯s instruction in order to go to university. He is still young. It is not late for him to go back to school. He used to regret that he didn¡¯t finish his high school well. He decides to study hard this time. Ro is willing to put him back into high school but Qin doesn¡¯t want to be around high schoolers. He could have just registered in a high school and studied one year there and taken an art exam to go to university. He still has social phobia. He doesn¡¯t dare to go to school. He will be terrified. Ro doesn¡¯t want to push him too far. He has progressed. Maybe he should just live in the anime circles and be a quiet handsome guy. The gal-game is finally published and becomes popular. Players leave all kinds of comments of it. Some have discovered that LonelyLamp¡¯s voice sounds like Childe Yue¡¯s voice. They guess they are the same person. Although LonelyLamp¡¯s blog has been filled with fans now, they are fighting against the fans of Childe Yue. A famous variety show invites the crew of this gal-game including its designers, painters, voice actors, etc. Qin is one of the central people. The gal-game production invites him to be on the variety show. They explain that he only needs to be there, and it is good for his future career. Qin doesn¡¯t really want to go. He asks Ro about this and decides to accept the gal-game production¡¯s request. The reason Ro used to persuade him is simple, ¡®Your parents would like to see you on the television.¡¯ Qin thinks it make sense and he texts his three new friends and invite them to dinner if they also go to the variety show. The show asks him to get on the stage at last for effects. The audience on the spot and audience who are watching the show from home are confused. They don¡¯t believe that is Childe Yue. People online have made Childe Yue¡¯s previous fat photo into an emoji with subtitle ¡°Awwwww¡±¡­¡­ Almost everyone in the anime circle will use this emoji. Why isn¡¯t him a fat otaku in real life? Is this person coming to cover Childe Yue? ¡®Hello, I am LonelyLamp.¡¯ Fans are having an explosion as soon as he speaks. His voice has such a high differentiation degree that he sounds exactly the same as the voice players heard in the game. Fans begin to wonder if this LonelyLamp is just having the same voice as Childe Yue by accident. ¡®I used to be Childe Yue. I am LonelyLamp now. I was a chunibyou at that time and I am sorry about that.¡¯ The show puts his famous emoji on the big screen. That is the emoji which everyone in the anime circle knows. This is a magic transformation. ¡®He must have gone to Korea for liposuction surgery.¡¯ ¡®I don¡¯t believe¡­¡­¡¯ ¡®Otaku is cute! Why did you lose weight! Those bitches are going to take my husband away from me again!¡¯ ¡­¡­ Qin unconsciously shows a frightened and shocked face when he sees his fans screaming, going crazy and wild. His small-animal-like reaction stimulates the wolf nature of his female fans. Although he immediately changes his face back, many have caught his frightened face and make emojis of it. ¡®Our LonelyLamp looks good. Do you want to be an idol?¡¯ The show host pats his shoulder and asks this question which many people want to ask. ¡®Right now, I prefer to go to a university first and study for a few years.¡¯ ¡®This young man is very honest.¡¯ Qin shows a coy smile and he is bashful. Compared to the game character he acts, LonelyLamp in real life seems to be mild in disposition. This is definitely an example of gap moe. Then, Qin chats about his experience of losing weight and plays a few games with other people on the stage. He always pretends to be calm but sometimes he breaks his disguise. After a show, the audience have collected enough materials to make a full set of emoji of him. His humbleness is polite and pleasant. The audience don¡¯t want him to leave the stage when the show is going to end. The show host encourages him to sing a famous internet song. Ro watches Qin since he is natural and graceful whenever he begins to sing. She signs. Qin is suitable for a purer environment. He can attend such shows occasionally. However, if he is really going to make a living on the stage, he will be torn up by others¡¯ envy. An internet song with countless cover versions in his voice has a special blandness, a unique concentration, and a treasuring carefulness¡­¡­ Even people who dislike the style of this song think he has done well. His high pitch is beautifully moving, and it doesn¡¯t sound female. It is flowing into listeners¡¯ bones. ¡®I don¡¯t know why but I am weeping¡­¡­¡¯ ¡®This is so good awwwwww¡­¡­¡¯ ¡®My ears are pregnant.¡¯ ¡®I am going to make him pregnant!¡¯ ¡®What the fuck are you talking about?¡¯ The scene is in a fever. Qin feels like he is in a dream. ¡®Shifu, you did well today and almost caught up with me.¡¯ ¡®Oh really? Why do I have a feeling that you are lying?¡¯ Qin laughs. ¡®No, I am not lying. You almost caught up with me.¡¯ ¡®No. Obviously, I am the better one.¡¯ Ro makes a vomiting sound to show her response. ¡®When are you free? We can go out for fun sometimes¡¯ ¡®Hmmm¡­¡­ Let me think about it. I will tell you when I have decided.¡¯ Ro wouldn¡¯t consider meeting Qin in real life if she was not leaving. Qin¡¯s heart still needs a final stroke and Ro needs to draw the period for him. chapter 9 After the show ends, Qin gets phone calls from Bunny again. She changed her phone number and Qin blacklists her again and again. He is not face-saving for her. LonelyLamp¡¯s fans soon has exceeded 1 million. They are old fans of Childe Yue and new fans of the gal-game. ¡°IamLonelyLamp¡¯sStudent¡±is his only followed blog and has additional fans as well. Most of them are posting their envy in a nice way. The student of an elite is an elite as well and of another industry. Fate is magical. Qin has prepared for his exam for two months. He attends the adult university entrance examination and enters an adult university of high ranking dubbing major. He relies on his self-control during his study. Qin has played all things that others usually play. He has experienced extreme sadness and bliss. His life has changed radically. Once he realizes what he wants, he pursues it with all his effort. An adult university doesn¡¯t have many regulations on students, but they have the same amount of resources as a normal university has. It has libraries, public lectures, and other stuff that are free to its students. Students can take exams of many certificates here as well. It is convenient for those who already have a job. Qin still doesn¡¯t know what job he is suitable for while he is learning dubbing. He already knows dubbing from his experience. After a series of systematic learning, he believes that he has progressed more on dubbing. Dubbing is a work behind the scene. He is not opposed to it. Ro bought a magic card from her system which can allow her to substantialize herself in reality. It cost her 5k points. It is expensive for Ro and she probably cannot make over 5k in this world. Yet, Ro doesn¡¯t have any other use of her points. She thinks it¡¯s worth it. They plan to meet at the front gate of a Disney Park. Qin has been waiting for a while and he is watching the crowds and wonders which one can be Ro. The park¡¯s monitoring flashes and the scene becomes blurry for a second. No one realizes that a little girl in a dress suddenly appears on the street. She seems to be twelve to thirteen. Her black-ink hair obediently drooping to her waist. She is wearing a set of wine-red Lolita princess dress. She doesn¡¯t have a pair of shoes on and she is vacillated between standing still and walking. Ro didn¡¯t expect her substantialization has such a short height and without a shoe. There are people who peep at Ro. They believe that she must be mad at her parents that she threw her shoes away. She has a really pretty face, more delicate than a doll. ¡®Shifu!fu!¡¯ Ro doesn¡¯t want to stand on the ground with her bare feet. It is cold¡­¡­ Qin looks around and is shocked. Ro is way too small than his expectation. He trots to her and picks her up into his arms to a nearby bench. ¡®Why don¡¯t you wear a pair of shoes?¡¯ ¡®Too rough. Dropped.¡¯ Ro maintains an expressionless face and she doesn¡¯t look happy. ¡®It is all that shoes¡¯ fault! It is too bad to rub the feet¡­¡­¡¯ Qin squats down and takes out his napkins. He wipes Ro¡¯s feet clean. Her feet are pale and small, thin and white like jade. They are smaller than his hands. What a spoiled girl she is! ¡®Come. Get on the horse!¡¯ Qin asks her to use her phone to check the nearest shoe store or a shopping mall. He half squats in front of the bench and is waiting for Ro to pounce on his back. She did and Qin firmly carries her on his back and walks to where she points. There is a commercial street nearby. Qin didn¡¯t walk too far from the bench and he stops at the nearest shoe store. There are no shoes for children. ¡®Do you want to look around in this store?¡¯ ¡®What do you think?¡¯ Ro didn¡¯t think it was a trouble, but it took Qin a long time to walk to the next shoe store. There is sweat on his forehead. It must not be her weight. Qin is still too weak. ¡®Do you like any of these?¡¯ Qin looks at these colorful shinny girl¡¯s shoes and he believes he is going blind. Ro is no better than him. It has been hundreds of years since she wore children¡¯s shoes. Yet, Qin cannot carry her all day long. She looks around and asks him to pick a pair of simple black leather shoes. Ro tries them on. They are a bit large for her but it won¡¯t trouble her. Qin touches the shoes heel and he thinks it is too hard for her. He picks another pair of softer shoes.The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. ¡®This should be more comfortable.¡¯ Ro looks at the big HelloKitty picture on her shoes and doubts his intention. She still tries it on and decides to ignore its pink color and shinny shoes cap. It is a pair of comfortable shoes. ¡®You look good!¡¯ Qin is satisfied and nods his head. Ro doesn¡¯t know what to say. Qin asks the server to bring two pairs of sockets. He puts a laced bowknot white sockets on her and then puts her shoes on. He hints her to walk around. Ro hasn¡¯t had a body for a long time. Even though walking in front of Qin and others is embarrassing, she loves this feeling of having actual feet. ¡®What do you think? We can try more if you don¡¯t like.¡¯ ¡®I think they are okay.¡¯ Ro nods reservedly. Qin buys these two pairs of shoes right after. ¡®I heard that knocking the shoes will make them softer. I will try to knock this black pair when I get back. If I made it, you can wear it after. If not, we can always get another pair next time.¡¯ You are a real dummy! Ro looks at him carrying the shoe boxes and feels upset. Qin carries the shoes with one hand and holds her hand with the other hand. There are many human traffickers outside. What can I do if she got lost and kidnapped? She looks so cute and must be worth a lot¡­¡­ They stop at a cotton candy car and got two cotton candies. Qin is holding her hand still. He doesn¡¯t want her to get lost. Ro is holding two cotton candies with one hand. To be honest, she doesn¡¯t like sweet things. But she hasn¡¯t had any food for a long time, licking cotton candies is a gift. When she has cotton candies in her mouth, she will also feed Qin some cotton candy. She shall let the person who pays to hear his coins making a sound even though he was throwing them in the water. ¡®Too much sugar is not good for children¡¯s teeth.¡¯ Qin wipes the sugar on her hand and educates her verbally. She is nicer in real life. She doesn¡¯t talk back and doesn¡¯t get mad. She looks cute even when she is not happy. Qin wants to pinch her cheeks. Her hair must feel good as well. Yet, Qin presses his inner thoughts down. He is afraid that Ro will beat his last meal out if he did what he thought. They see a person selling bunny ears. Qin wants to buy a pink one for Ro. Ro asks for two bunny sets, one black and one pink. Qin buys both. Once Ro gets the bunny ears, she turns around and puts the pink one on Qin. Qin has no choice but to half squat to let her put the pink bunny ears on him. Qin takes a few selfies of himself. He has some fraudulent calmness when he is not smiling. When he smiles, the bunny ears fit him well. Ro with her black bunny ears has a lot more heart attack. She is like Qin, expressionless which makes people want to pinch her mock seriousness. Her cheeks seem to be soft and tender. They must feel good. Qin only takes a few photos of Ro¡¯s back. One of her hands is held by Qin. She seems to be interested in nothing and she keeps walking. She doesn¡¯t look like a kid of her age. When Qin is dragged to a roller coaster by her, he sees the corners of her mouth are raised a little. He strongly questions whether the ears on her belong to a bunny or a demon. It has been a decade since he played this last time. He vomited at that time. But he didn¡¯t eat much this time and he shouldn¡¯t lose too much of his face after this. Even though he is LonelyLamp, he still screams when the roller coaster is going down from the highest point. Ro would have recorded his voice if others didn¡¯t scream more than him. She wants his fans to know what a famous voice actor¡¯s screaming is like. There are tears at his eye corners. He feebly walks down from the game with the support of Ro. He seems stubborn, ¡®I think it was fine.¡¯ Ro asks him to rest on the bench and she will get water for them. Even though the store is less than ten meters away, Qin is watching her and trying to find out who has the potential to kidnap kids. The line is long but there aren¡¯t bad people to kidnap children, but there are some teenagers jeering around Ro. ¡®My princess is protected.¡¯ After Qin recovers from dizziness, he walks to her and looks down at these teenagers. They apologized and Ro smiles, ¡®It is okay.¡¯ One of the teenagers looks back at her as they walk away. Ro smiles at him again. ¡®Oh my god someone is nicer to strangers than her shifu. How partial!¡¯ ¡®You are such a chunibyou!¡¯ Ro kicks Qin and Qin pinches her cheeks as a counterattack. ¡®Are you hungry? Shall we go find a place to eat?¡¯ Ro nods and her attention is distracted. They eat and continue to play and let themselves free just like other visitors. They take a lot of photos. Qin has realized that once people have a good look, they will fall in love with taking photos. Unconsciously, they have taken hundreds of photos. After a Carousel, the Park is going to close. They stand in front of a fairytale-like castle. ¡®I am going home.¡¯ ¡®I can send you home.¡¯ ¡®Close your eyes. I will count three two one and you can open your eyes!¡¯ Qin closes his eyes and listens to Ro¡¯s counting. Ro walks further and she counts one. She walks further again and counts two. She walks even further and counts three. Qin opens his eyes and the firework in the park explodes in the air. He is surprised at this scene for a second and he looks at where Ro¡¯s voice came from. He only sees a blurry figure disappearing in the lights and shadows. A card is blown up by the wind and falls to his feet. It says Ro Ginger. It is neatly crafted with a caricature Ro picture on it. She is wearing her wine-red Lolita dress with her bare feet. She is looking down and has her hands on the back. She looks a little tsundere and she seems to be smiling like a little demon. There is a character description below the picture: ¡°I can fulfill one hundred wishes for you and you should fulfill one wish of mine.¡± ¡°I wish you peace and worriless. The world shall treat you nice.¡± ¡°Five Stars.¡± Qin holds the card tight and he couldn¡¯t find any shadows of Ro no matter which direction he runs to. It is impossible that she could run faster than him. The card has some remaining temperature of her. Qin chuckles lightly. He stands still for a while and goes back home alone. Her phone number became a vacant number. Her accounts disappeared as well. Only her blog remains. Her newest post is a short manga of a boy of pink bunny ears with a black bunny ear girl. There are some simple conversations. It is ordinary and warm. The feast has ended. Qin rests for a period of time and then he goes back to studying. Ro never appears again. Her blog freezes. Qin still has her photos in his phones. He sometimes thinks that she is studying abroad or has gone somewhere else. He has softened her shoes. He doesn¡¯t want them to have dust on so he puts them in the shoe box near the door. Now, he lives alone. He is used to the quiet environment again and doesn¡¯t think his room is too hollow. He is finally able to live in this world unruffled. After a long time, when Qin becomes successful. He opens that wuxia game again and buys a lot of fireworks. Fireworks bloom in the air and his character and her character are standing together. They look at the fireworks for a long time. That server has a few players left. Qin pauses there for a while and a newbie comes, ¡®Hi elite! Do you want a student?¡¯ ¡®Sorry.¡¯ Qin goes back to his absence of mind. Oh¡­¡­It has been so long since that last newbie came to me. Our meeting was a gift. I didn¡¯t expect we could stay together for the rest of my life. I believe you will live well that I have no other worries. I thought I was unlucky since I was little. Then I believe that I had spent all my luck on meeting you. Even the farewell was like a dream. I am still melancholy. Happy time goes away fast. Unhappy time is suffocating one second after another. After losing a very important part in the life, the life may not go back to when it didn¡¯t have such part. At least, I have the courage to go into the world and begin my new life now.
