    Eve and Adam are talking.

    E： Do you know I've put on 5 kilos since going out with you？

    A： Why's that？

    E： You're always taking me to fancy restaurants.

    A： Well, you don't have to eat so much when we eat out, you know.

    E： But I can't resist all the delicious food.

    A： Besides, it's not cheap.

    E： I guess you're right. Maybe I should start cooking again. （Adam turns pale.）

    A： Uh… Let's just forget about your weight problem, OK？ I don't care how fat you are.

    E： really？

    I wish you happy landinds.  一路平安
