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.

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

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.
