Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

He smiled.

"Ten days is something I can wait for. Thinking about it, it's not that hard to get through. Once I get through these ten days, it will be autumn, and this summer will be over. If I want summer to come again, it will be next year."

Ram listened, quite surprised.

Because, according to what Uesugi Kenichi said, getting through these ten days seems like an easy thing to do this summer.

Ram smiled slightly and nodded happily.

"..Um."

Seeing her smile, Uesugi Kenichi felt very comfortable. He smiled back and then looked outside.

The sun is still very strong.

However, Kenichi Uesugi felt that everything seemed different. He had the patience to wait, to wait slowly, believing that autumn would eventually come and summer would eventually pass.

The weather was still so hot, yet Uesugi Kenichi felt that his heart had calmed down considerably.

He sighed and said something.

"So this is what it means to feel cool when your mind is calm. Now I really feel very comfortable and relaxed. My mood is so cool and comfortable."

Hearing his words, Ram remained silent.

She just looked outside.

Watching the sunset slowly descend, to be honest, although it's sunset, the temperature is still quite high.

However, her heart seemed to slowly grow colder after hearing Uesugi Kenichi's words.

It's really important to be a person with a calm mind.

Ram smiled slightly, turned to look at Uesugi Kenichi, and suddenly felt very happy, saying to him.

"Qianyi, thank you. Originally, I was a bit irritable today because of the high temperature, but after hearing what you said, my heart has cooled down a lot. So, I still have to thank you for this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to calm down."

Seeing this, Uesugi Kenichi looked at her and smiled quietly.

The heat is unbearable.

When it gets hot, people become irritable and restless. I'm afraid that the heat might also increase the number of fights and brawls.

Kenichi Uesugi sighed.

Ultimately, humans are nothing more than animals.

Chapter 296 Unwavering Faith

It has to be said that going to class is the most painful thing. After finally getting through Friday evening, Uesugi Kenichi just lazed around at home and didn't want to do anything.

He was exhausted, both physically and mentally.

At this moment, Uesugi Kenichi lay on the bed, not wanting to move. He was a little hungry and wanted to eat something.

But we'll be eating soon.

Moreover, Kenichi Uesugi felt that he was indeed becoming slightly chubby, and he was thinking, why should he wait until he was really fat before he started to lose weight?

Why not nip it in the bud when it first appears?

Based on this mindset, Uesugi Kenichi doesn't want to eat anything right now. He lies there listlessly, planning to diet for a while. He refuses to believe that he can't lose weight.

Just then, Ram and Rem came in to play with him.

Ram and Rem were delighted to see Uesugi Kenichi, with Ram calling out to him.

"Qianyi, you don't have to go to school tomorrow. That's great! You can rest at home for two more days."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenichi turned his head to look at him.

He looked at Ram and said very solemnly.

"Lamu, you'll have to keep an eye on me from now on. I really have to lose weight, I absolutely have to."

Upon hearing this, Ram was taken aback.

She looked at Uesugi Kenichi in disbelief, while Uesugi Kenichi looked resolute. At that moment, Ram also had no idea what was wrong with him.

Kenichi Uesugi had said before that he wanted to lose weight.

However, he seemed really determined today, as if he had suddenly been stimulated. Ram came to the bedside, stood there looking at Uesugi Kenichi with a puzzled expression, and asked.

"Qianyi, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenichi looked away, his gaze fixed ahead with unwavering determination.

"I've made a plan for myself. According to the book, I'm actually a bit overweight right now, so I have to lose weight. And I can't wait until later to lose weight. I have to complete the goals I set for the day. I used to be too lazy. As long as I can overcome this mindset, I can reach a level that is even better than I am now."

Seeing this, Ram was speechless.

She looked at Uesugi Kenichi and asked.

"So, does it start today?"

Kenichi Uesugi turned to look at him and answered firmly.

"Okay, starting now, tomorrow is the weekend, so I have two days to catch up. I must cut down. I'll treat tomorrow as a period of adjustment for myself. I believe I can do it."

In response, Ram, who has always been very thin.

She had never worried about being fat, so she looked at Uesugi Kenichi and couldn't help but say.

"Okay, let's start today, Qianyi. I believe you can do it. Actually, it's just losing weight, what's so difficult about it? I really don't think losing weight is a difficult thing."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenichi looked at Ram, smiled, and said nothing.

Kenichi Uesugi once thought so too.

He also felt that being overweight was not a difficult thing; as long as he wanted to lose weight, he could do so anytime.

But when he himself became obese, Kenichi Uesugi no longer felt that way.

He's actually not fat.

However, his tummy isn't like it used to be; Uesugi Kenichi's tummy used to be really flat.

Wearing those tight-fitting clothes, you can't see your belly.

But now, he clearly has a little belly.

If he doesn't control himself, this little belly will only get bigger and bigger in the future. Just as Ram said, it's just losing weight, right? It's a very small thing, nothing to be afraid of.

Kenichi Uesugi was even more motivated.

He looked at Ram and said firmly.

"Ram, you'll be in charge of me from now on. If I fail to do something, you must remember to tell me."

Unexpectedly, Ram laughed when she heard that.

"Simple, Qianyi. It's impossible to supervise you to do anything else, but just doing this kind of thing, just losing weight, seems too easy to me. It's good not to eat, or to eat less, so I can save money from this and save a lot of money."

Uesugi Kenichi listened without saying a word.

He looked away and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought. At that moment, Uesugi Kenichi was thinking about whether (bbbi) should call him "Mom" and whether he should make some adjustments to his diet.

From now on, his food will have to be separate from his family's.

Because it's impossible for him to diet and make his family suffer as well. He eats a very simple diet, so it's impossible for him to make his family do the same.

In fact, Kenichi Uesugi thinks his father is a bit fat.

Even Mom is a little overweight.

Both of them exhibit typical symptoms of middle-aged weight gain; however, this is Uesugi Kenichi's opinion, though they themselves might not feel the same way.

They even think that this age and body shape are normal.

Kenichi Uesugi sighed.

When they went downstairs for dinner, Kenichi Uesugi brought it up to his mother in front of the whole family.

"Mom, from now on, my food will have to be cooked separately."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Reika paused, then looked over.

"Ok?"

Kenichi Uesugi also looked at his mother and explained.

"I'm on a diet recently, and I'm determined to lose weight. No matter what, it's something I have to do."

Seeing this, Uesugi Reika felt helpless.

She compromised.

"Okay, but I'm not very familiar with this kind of thing either. After all, your mom has never been on a diet. If you want to eat something, just list it out and I'll make it according to your instructions."

Kenjiro Uesugi nodded slightly.

He already had an answer in his mind, but he hadn't written it down yet.

Although Kenichi Uesugi hadn't completely abstained from certain foods, he was consciously eating less during this meal.

It's just about losing weight, right?

He believed he could persevere, he definitely could, Uesugi Kenichi thought to himself.

After dinner, Uesugi Kenichi went back to his room and started writing.

First of all, you can no longer eat stir-fried chicken breast.

Because eating like that would leave you feeling unsatisfied and constantly hungry, Uesugi Kenichi felt that making soup would be a better option.

Then you drink it along with the soup.

Water can fill your stomach.

The method is correct. As long as we continue to persevere in this direction, we will eventually succeed.

He really wanted to get thinner.

During this period, there are many things he will no longer be able to eat. Like before, every time he came back from get out of class, he would go to the refrigerator to get water if he was thirsty.

It's all those soft drinks or beverages.

These things are very high in sugar.
