The Ten-Pound Test of Love

The Ten-Pound Test of Love Plot:

Su Xiao and Lin Chuan were a couple who loved exploring street food stalls across the city, vowing to "stay healthy until we're eighty" with a pinky promise. But when Lin Chuan gained ten pounds from his physical exam, Su Xiao immediately broke up with him—not because of his weight, but because the person who once split a cup of milk tea with her had suddenly become a "lazy person who didn't care about their own health." Until the night of the breakup, Su Xiao found her mother's hospital bill and construction site timecards in Lin Chuan's backpack. She realized Lin Chuan had been working part-time at a construction site after work to raise money for her mother's surgery, so he could only eat cold steamed buns and had no time to exercise. When she cried and found Lin Chuan squatting downstairs eating instant noodles, he wiped his mouth and smiled: "Gaining weight is good—it gives me strength to carry bricks. Once your mom gets better, I'll go back to those food stalls with you and lose weight together."
