“You seem to have a grudge against the family next door.”When they passed by,Mi Wan noticed traces of demonic aura from a dog demon on the main door of the neighbor’s house.It was obviously vandalized by him.
“I do.”The teenager did not conceal his disdain,“When the old man fell ill,they wanted to take advantage of him and take his house.”
“So what do you plan to do?”Mi Wan looked at the teenager.
The teenager was silent for a moment,before replying reluctantly,“Though I don’t agree,the old man said that no matter their intentions,they ultimately saved his life,so I was not allowed to cause them trouble.I will return the medical expenses to them after this.I will not act against them as long as they don’t bother us with any of their shady ideas.”But he wouldn’t be nice about it.
After the teenager degenerated,he was abandoned by his own family and left to wander in the streets for five whole years.His personality was naturally hardened.For him to tolerate the injustice,showed that he really cared about his grandpa.But the day after he came back from Mi Wan’s place,he went straight next door to give the couple a hard time.So now whenever they saw him,they would take a detour to avoid him and would only accept repayment of the medical expenses from the teen when they were separated by a wall.Once the teenager repaid the remaining money tomorrow,they probably wouldn’t have the guts to continue living there.
“Mmmhmm.”Mi Wan nodded,“Repay the remaining 600,000 yuan as soon as possible.”
“I will.”
“Also,I had someone help me retrieve the bounty from the police station and gave the other party a 20,000 yuan errand fee.Remember to add that to the repayment amount.”Mi Wan added.
“……Fine.”The teenager gritted his teeth.He had never met such a stingy person,“I will go to the Demon Hunter Association to re-register myself tomorrow.Once I have an account,I will directly transfer the money to you and there will be no more errand fees.”
“Good.”Mi Wan nodded and left satisfied.

Half a month later,when the dog demon boy paid off his debt,Mi Wan was finally released from house arrest,and it was also time for her to make an appointment to learn about registering with the Demon Hunter Association.
“Young Miss,I think you look a little thinner.”Auntie Zhang came out with a stack of side dishes,looked at Mi Wan who was eating at the dinner table,and said sincerely,“Your complexion has also improved.”
“Really?Looks like it really is effective to lose weight through drugs.”Today was the day she was going to be‘released from house arrest’,how could she look bad?In order to leave early today,she didn’t even sneak out last night.
“Miss,what nonsense is this?”Standing on the side,Butler Ye’s expression immediately darkened when he heard Mi Wan’s unsavory joke.
“Just kidding.I know that these are the results of my persistent exercise regime from the past month.“After the physical withdrawals ceased,in accordance with Dr.Zhao’s instructions,Mi Wan had to exercise for an hour every morning and evening.Poor Mi Wan snuck out every night to enjoy herself until dawn,and only had an hour’s worth of sleep before she had to wake up again to exercise.It would be strange if she didn’t slim down from that!
Of course,if she were to eat less supper at night,she would have lost even more weight.
“Yes yes yes.”Auntie Zhang echoed her previous advice,“To lose weight,the most important thing is to control your mouth and advance your legs.”
“What do you mean?”Mi Wan doesn’t quite understand.
“Just eat less and exercise more,”Butler Ye explained.
“That’s right,my daughter lost weight that way.”Auntie Zhang had a daughter who just started working this year.“When my daughter underwent puberty in high school,she went from 90 pounds to120 pounds in one year.At that time,she whined about losing weight every day.So she stopped eating all her meals and only ate a little fruit every day.She would go jogging every morning and night,and sure enough,she successfully lost weight.“
“She only ate fruit every day?”Mi Wan was stunned.
“Oh yes!One apple in the morning and evening,sometimes half.Occasionally a bit of boiled chicken breast without oil or salt.You could call it a diet meal.”Auntie Zhang glanced at her lady and asked,“Miss,do you want to try it too?My daughter’s weight-loss meals were made by me.I still remember them.”
“No,no thanks,thank you!”You’ve got to be kidding.There were so many delicious foods in this world.Who in their right minds would stick to eating fruits every day and avoid oil and salt?This was just disrespectful to the evolving food culture for the last 500 years!If that’s the case,she might as well not lose weight.
“I think that’s a good idea!Mrs.Zhang,starting today,you will slowly reduce the young lady’s portion sizes for all three meals.While her body is still recovering,we should take this chance and help her lose weight.That way,we can fully eliminate the Young Miss’s possibility of relapsing back to drugs.”Butler Ye found his idea more brilliant by the minute,“Didn’t you start using drugs because you wanted to lose weight?Then I’ll help you quit drugs AND lose weight.”
“…”Why are you suddenly starving me?Mi Wan was stunned.Although store bought junk foods were delicious,Auntie Zhang’s cooking was also very good.Mi Wan did not wish to lose out on either side.
“Then I won’t be serving the steamed dumplings I’ve made.”Auntie Zhang gave Mi Wan an encouraging look,“Young Miss,please persevere.There is no body-figure that doesn’t gain weight from eating.That’s why we need to moderate ourselves.”
“…”No.Please don’t.My body doesn’t,but my soul is a figure that will never get fat no matter what it eats.
For breakfast,the portion size was halved.Mi Wan finally realized Butler Ye and Auntie Zhang’s determination to help her lose weight.But there was no room for her to complain,so she had to comfort herself instead.She would just have to replenish her food intake when she goes out later.
After breakfast,Mi Wan couldn’t wait to go out.Before leaving,Butler Ye stopped her,“Young Miss,I just transferred ten thousand yuan into your account.This is your pocket money for this month.”
“Wasn’t it a hundred thousand a month?”Mi Wan was stunned.Why did her pocket money shrink?
“The First Young Master said you are still under an observation period so your pocket money needs to be controlled.Of course,if you have any necessities,just tell me,I will buy it for you.”Butler Ye reminded,“Also,your curfew is at 8 PM.Once you are home,Dr.Zhao will conduct a physical check-up.If you fail it,don’t think about going out again.”
They were concerned that she would relapse once she got out.Mi Wan did not know if she should laugh or cry.Just how untrustworthy was she in their eyes?“Uncle Ye,relax.I spent so much effort quitting,I won’t relapse.”
“It’s good that you understand,but we still have to take precautions.”Butler Ye smiled contentedly,“I’ll get the driver to take you around.Just tell him where you wish to go.”
“Thank you,Uncle Ye.”After getting along for two months,Butler Ye became kinder to her,and in return,Mi Wan had grown closer to him and eventually,she was calling him Uncle Ye instead of Butler Ye.
When the car left the Mi residence,coincidentally,Fan Chen was also about to leave his house and came across Mi Wan’s ride.He wore a deep blue trench coat and stood tall and elegant by the entrance.
“I can go out now!”Mi Wan popped half her body out of the car window and waved excitedly in Fan Chen’s direction.Anyone could feel her enthusiasm.
Fan Chen returned a small smile as a response.
“Miss,do you know that gentleman just now?”When the driver saw Mi Wan greeting that man,he asked curiously.
“I don’t.I just thought he looked handsome.”Of course,Mi Wan couldn’t admit that she knew him,otherwise,her midnight wall-climbing habits would be exposed.
“You seem to have a grudge against the family next door.”When they passed by,Mi Wan noticed traces of demonic aura from a dog demon on the main door of the neighbor’s house.It was obviously vandalized by him.
