Taotie Overeats in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 106: Here... is this our baby?

Just a couple of days later, the live recording for the new episode of Love in Progress began.

Because the theme of this episode was "Dads Being Pregnant," for once, all the male guests had to arrive in the makeup room earlier than the female guests.

That's right; their bellies were going to undergo special effects makeup to simulate the look of a seven-month pregnant belly.

The three men half-lay in the chairs, special sandbags being strapped onto their bellies. Once the sandbags were secured, fake skin would be applied over them, forming the shape of a pregnant belly.

Xu Ziyu sighed, "I feel like a fish on a chopping board right now, waiting to be gutted."

The makeup artist next to him giggled, "Xu Ge, you're just getting the belly strapped on now; you're not getting gutted yet!"

Xu Ziyu nodded, "Yeah, even now I feel uncomfortable, but women really have to face the tearing pain in their bodies, plus that feeling of helplessness and loss of dignity. It's truly remarkable!"

Qin Yu was moved by his words. Thinking of how he always bantered with Sang Ling, he felt a bit remorseful. As a man, he should be more caring towards women.

Shen Zhiyan had also thought before that if he and Jiang Tao could have a child, it would be quite nice. But hearing Xu Ziyu say this now, imagining Jiang Tao in such a situation made him feel uncomfortable. If Jiang Tao had to endure such pain to have a child, he'd rather not have one. He only hoped his little glutton could always remain fearless and happy.

However, the three of them didn't stay somber for long because soon, the special effects makeup artists brought over the sandbags and started strapping them onto their bellies.

Qin Yu was still trying to encourage them, "I looked it up. A seven-month pregnant woman's belly is about 20 pounds; just think of it as weight training!"

But no sooner had he finished speaking than he saw the makeup artist carrying a sandbag noticeably larger than those given to Shen Zhiyan and Xu Ziyu, heading toward him.

"Why is mine so big?!"

The makeup artist replied, "Qin Ge, you're carrying twins!"

Qin Yu: "..."

Shen Zhiyan wanted to laugh at him, but by then, the sandbag was already strapped to his belly, pressing heavily on his abdomen. He could also feel a heavy sensation in his lower back.

For once, he felt a pang of sympathy for Qin Yu. Since they were all in the same boat, there was no need to make fun of each other.

After the three men were strapped with the sandbags, the makeup artists began to work on their bellies. They covered the sandbags with fake skin, adjusting and gluing the edges to their real skin.

By the time everything was done, two hours had passed.

Even though they hadn't done anything strenuous, all three were exhausted.

Only then did Qin Yu realize how simplistic his earlier thoughts were.

Twenty pounds of dumbbells might not be a big deal; twenty pounds of resistance is even easier, something that can be pulled effortlessly.

But gym sessions usually last an hour at most.

And now, this 20-pound weight wasn't just strapped to their bellies; it was a full-day burden!

Qin Yu looked resentfully at Shen Zhiyan, "Shen Zhiyan, this is all your fault for getting me into this! Doesn't your conscience hurt?!"

Shen Zhiyan: "..."
