"Yeah, she's lost quite a few pounds."
"Now I see her, she's more than just a few pounds lighter; she's lost about thirty pounds. She looks completely shrunken and changed."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"But, I just feel like losing weight that fast is problematic. I tried to ask her earlier, but she was evasive and wouldn't tell me the truth. Could you help me figure out what's going on? She's my only best friend, and I can't let anything happen to her."
"Is that really the case?"
Qiao Feiyang hesitated and said, "I'll call her in a bit to check on things, or maybe I'll go to the Imperial Capital tomorrow. I have free time anyway and can make a short trip there."
"Alright, contact me then."
"Okay, I have to get going now."
