2. Extreme joy turns to sorrow.
On the first day Su Tong took a bath using the space water, all her colleagues were surprised.
The female colleagues were all amazed, and both acquaintances and strangers alike struck up a conversation, "Tongtong, what skincare products do you use? They work so well, can you recommend some to me?"
Although quite a few of her male colleagues had been interested in Su Tong before, now they were all showing signs of wanting to make a move. Even a few of the guys who used to be arrogant because they were somewhat handsome were starting to get closer to her. What girl doesn't love beauty and being pursued by men? Su Tong was in an extremely good mood.
Then she continued to soak in the spring water, drink the spring water, and eat the space fruit. Su Tong, who was already quite clean, now took a bath every morning and evening. Each time she bathed, the gray and black grime became less and less. Su Tong and her colleagues also witnessed Su Tong's figure becoming more and more slender and beautiful day by day. Her skin was even more tender than a newborn baby's, her lips were a tender pink like a peach petal, and her eyes were becoming bigger, brighter and more watery. She became more and more stunningly beautiful.
Su Tong was a beauty to begin with. She was 164 cm tall, with big eyes, a straight nose, and delicate features. However, although her skin was not dark, it was a bit dry and prone to spots. She also had a little bit of flesh on her shoulders and thighs. In college, she and her boyfriend were the famous campus heartthrob and campus beauty.
After only 5 or 6 days of bathing with the space water, Kongkong's scars had almost completely healed, and its sparse white fur had grown longer and thicker, making it incredibly cute. When Su Tong took it out, children were practically mesmerized by Kongkong's cuteness, and Su Tong herself found her pants a size too small, her waist even slimmer than before, making her a stunning beauty with a 200% head-turning rate.
It was at this moment that Su Tong began to realize that something was wrong.
The first incident occurred at the company. When Wang Jiancheng from the R&D department rushed over, he bumped into Su Tong's arm. It wasn't a very hard bump, but when Su Tong rolled up her sleeve, she was shocked to find that the skin on her arm was completely bruised. Against the backdrop of her delicate, porcelain-white skin, it was a shocking sight. Su Tong was stunned. How could her skin be so delicate?
Wang Shanshan relayed the news to Wang Jiancheng, who, under the pretext of making amends for injuring Su Tong, began showering her with attention, picking her up and dropping her off every day, insisting on having lunch with her, and even giving her roses twice. Su Tong was thoroughly annoyed and hinted several times that she wasn't interested in him, but he continued to do so.
Then something even more surprising happened. To commemorate the week she gained the space and adopted Kong Kong, Su Tong specially made a big pot of chicken soup. After finishing it, she was very proud of herself and prepared to lift the pot with her right hand to the table to eat. However, after trying twice, she couldn't lift it. You know, she used to be able to lift it without much effort!
That evening, Su Tong ran into her high school classmate Li Tian, who was already married. Li Tian was shopping with her two-year-old son in her arms. When she saw Su Tong, she greeted her warmly: "Wow! What medicine has our school beauty Su been taking lately? Or did she go to Korea for laser skin rejuvenation? Her skin is so tender it's almost dripping with moisture."
The little boy, with his chubby, pink face, was so cute it made people cry. Su Tong, the strange aunt, completely ignored his mother and rushed over to ask for a hug.
The handsome young man was always the center of attention wherever he went. He glanced at her dismissively and noticed that this aunt was quite attractive. His little ears turned slightly red, and he nodded demurely to indicate that he had given his permission.
Just as Su Tong was about to take the little boy from Li Tiantian's arms, the little boy's bottom had barely moved onto Su Tong's arm when Su Tong felt that he was too heavy to carry. Afraid of dropping the little boy, she quickly said, "Li Tiantian, Li Tiantian, quickly take your son back. I forgot that I injured my hand yesterday and I can't carry him."
The little boy was carried back by his mother, and the mother and son rolled their eyes at Su Tong. Li Tian directly said what her son was thinking: "Tch, Su, my son is so light, you can't even carry him? Be careful, I'll beat you up!"
Su Tong smiled awkwardly and kept coaxing the angry little boy: "Sweetie, Auntie was wrong, it was my fault. I was injured and couldn't carry you. Here's a kiss, please forgive Auntie, okay?"
Under Su Tong's seductive advances, the little boy, though ultimately not forgiving her, reluctantly allowed her to kiss his tender cheek before blushing and leaving with his mother.
All of Su Tong's experiences in life point to one thing: although she is becoming more beautiful, her strength has indeed decreased a lot. Even carrying her bag to work makes the bag feel very heavy, and her skin is too delicate. She will bruise easily if she touches anything.
Su Tong chuckled. There's no such thing as a free lunch; it's true what they say, too much joy leads to sorrow.
Although she has stopped using the space water to take showers, the situation is still not good. She is starting to feel strained when carrying a large stack of documents at the company.
Her appearance had changed to the point that others would find it abnormal. When President Xie came to inspect her, he didn't even recognize her. She really felt that her current state of constantly becoming more beautiful and weaker was no longer suitable for her to stay and work in Shanghai. If she continued to change like this, she was worried that her parents would become a little unfamiliar with her when she went home for vacation.
That day, after President Xie, who had been subtly observing Su Tong, left, Su Tong decisively submitted her resignation. Struggling to carry a small box of personal belongings she had packed, she took one last look at the company where she had worked for five years before preparing to leave.
