I pushed her away, "Do you know that after gaining weight, brain function declines?"
"No wonder I've been feeling sleepy lately."
"Do you know that with the added fat, even formal attire makes you look like a restaurant waiter?"
"No, no, I can't even fit into the old ones anymore."
Actually, with Fei's height, gaining a bit of weight only made her look fuller and more beautiful, but I preferred her original, slender and tall figure. If she continued this way, she would soon surpass me.
"Enough, let's get a membership at the club, you should diet and exercise more from now on."
"Okay, okay. I'll listen to you."

"Your sudden weight gain, could it be that you're..."
She looked at me, her eyes wide, "Which? Don't scare me."
I couldn't say the words 'pregnant', I just said, "Baby."
