When a Mukbang Star Meets an Anorexic CEO

Chapter 2

Don't be fooled by my ordinary appearance as a small-time mukbang streamer.

But I never purge.

"Eat More Today" is my online username.

My real name is Bella Tang.

But I've never felt full since I was little.

So be careful when choosing names, okay?

It's not that my family was poor.

They say I cried day and night when I was a newborn.

My mom almost went crazy.

Until my grandma came to visit and made me a full bottle of milk.

I only stopped crying after drinking it all.

My mom was puzzled why my formula intake was over ten times the feeding guidelines.

It's like I was literally starving for a month.

They say my first word was "eat food".

My mom always says,

There's nothing in the house I haven't tried to chew on, except the toilet.

Everyone in the family eats from bowls.

But I use a pot.

Because it's too tiring to keep going back for more food each meal.

All the buffet restaurants in my hometown have circulated my photo to their staff.

As soon as I show up, they pay me to go eat at their competitors!

My parents even took me to the hospital, but the doctor said I was very healthy.

He said some people are just born with big appetites and good digestion.

During my teenage years,

I tried to eat less like other girls.

But by afternoon, I would feel dizzy.

By the next meal, I couldn't pretend anymore.

The bowls of rice I ate could stack up half a meter high.

My classmates were stunned by how much I could eat.

They said I was born to be a mukbang streamer.

It turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

My mom always worried I wouldn't earn enough to feed myself after getting a job.

But I do, I do.

After all, how can eating not be included when your job is to eat?

After graduation, I couldn't find a job, so I started livestreaming my daily meals.

Somehow people started treating me as a mukbang streamer.

In reality, I was just eating normally.

Although my stream doesn't have as many viewers as the big streamers, it's steady.

Many fans say they've never seen a streamer who broadcasts three meals a day like me.

More punctual than an alarm clock.

And I chew slowly and enjoyably.

They praise me for making eating look so delicious!

Of course, I always eat on time, sleep early and wake up early, never picky about food, and enjoy every bite.

Many people treat me as their virtual dining companion.

I picked up the red envelope Mrs. Quinn gave me.

"Thank you so much! I need to go digest now!"

Her eyes lit up with curiosity, "Digest?"

Zach had an "I knew it" look on his face, "Eating so much and still so thin, heh."

I patted him.

"You eat too little. Your stomach is empty. Otherwise, we could go together."

Mrs. Quinn looked excited.

"Why don't I come along? Can I see the secrets of this industry?"

I was a bit confused.

Don't rich people know how to digest after meals?
