Chapter 62 I Want Her

Jiang Yuming sat alone and swallowed his saliva. Before everyone's attention turned over, he quickly turned his head away and pretended that he didn't care.

"Gulp!"

He clutched his stomach in frustration, his face filled with shame and anger, "Do your best, Jiang Yuming!"

Xue Zheng, holding the meat skewers, turned his back to Qiu Qiu's watchful eyes and asked Su Xiucheng, "What did you say to him?"

Su Xiucheng was also puzzled: "I asked him to eat more, but he said he wanted to lose weight."

"Last time he said he was going to lose weight and only ate three bowls of rice, but this time he actually held back for the entire time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Are you sure you really didn't say anything?"

"No!" Su Xiucheng scratched his head and pointed to Qiuqiu, "She can testify!"

Chirp looked up: [Huh?]

What's wrong with her? Why is her brother pointing at her?

"Slurp!"

Xue Zheng turned his gaze back, speechless: "What could a little glutton like her know? Forget it, I'll go ask him myself."

Xue Zheng grabbed a bracelet and plopped down next to Jiang Yuming. "Hey, why aren't you eating?"

The aroma of barbecue kept coming into Jiang Yuming's nose, so fragrant that he was almost drooling like Jiujiu.

He tried to control his appetite: "From today on, I will work hard to be a handsome man."

"Hahaha!" Xue Zheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Jiang Yuming's face fell, a little frustrated: "Do you think I'm daydreaming?"

Seeing that he wasn't eating, Xue Zheng took a bite of the meat skewer himself, and it actually tasted pretty good. He slowly swallowed the meat in his mouth, and instead of answering, asked, "Does being thin matter?"

Jiang Yuming's flesh jiggled. "But you're all skinny."

[Nonsense, my brother is chubby, and Qiuqiu is chubby too!]

Hehe, she secretly changed the word, even a chick isn't that big!

Jiang Yuming and Xue Zheng couldn't hear Qiuqiu's inner thoughts, but they noticed the maid carrying Qiuqiu walking towards them.

"What's up?"

Dong Xiao looked back at the third young master, who waved at her. She then smiled flatteringly at the two young masters in front of her.

"Young masters, could you please help me hold my young lady? This servant..."

It's all the Third Young Master's fault for letting her give the young lady away to someone else while she went to eat skewers. If Madam finds out, she'll be punished.

And she couldn't say this!

"No, young masters, if you're going to speak, this servant will go ahead..."

"Leave Jiujiu here first!"

"ah?"

This was the first time Dong Xiao met someone who wished to take care of someone else's child.

She hesitated a little: "If the two young masters are embarrassed, you don't have to force them."

Although they looked extremely excited.

As someone who had experience holding his cousin, Jiang Yuming took Jiujiu skillfully, and in a split second the little baby was in someone else's arms.

"You go and eat yours. We are best friends with Jiujiu."

Chiu Chiu, now in Dong Xiao's arms, showed no signs of discomfort and waved goodbye: "Auntie, take care."

Dong Xiao: "..."

"Then I will take my leave. If you two young masters need anything, please call me over."

Su Jingwen could tell that the two weren't very interested, so he intentionally let them spend more time with Qiuqiu. Their Qiuqiu didn't have any other talents, but she was good at being a source of joy.

Conquering them is a piece of cake!

Jiang Yuming and Xue Zheng even doubted that Qiuqiu, who couldn't speak yet, could understand them. They didn't treat her like an outsider at all, and naturally continued the topic that had been interrupted earlier.

"Brother Yuming, you are naturally fat or thin. Sometimes I envy you for having a good appetite. Unlike me, I want to eat but can't."

Xue Zheng was thin, which made him look even smaller standing next to the others. He was quite grateful that they were willing to take him along. Especially Jiang Yuming, who was a kind-hearted person and had been the one to support him when he first arrived at the academy.

“I used to be locked in the backyard of the Xue family, sometimes hungry and sometimes full. Later, when I was extremely hungry, I would run to the kitchen to steal food. After I was discovered, they tied me up and tied me to a tree in the yard. My father had people keep stuffing food into my mouth until my stomach was full.”

"He kept cursing me as filthy, despicable, and shameless, and told me to eat as much as I wanted. He only let me go when I was so full that I vomited, because he found me disgusting."

"So, being able to eat is a blessing!"

[Brother Xue Zheng is so pitiful!]

[His dad's so mean! He's cursing him to trip and fall when he goes out, choke on his water, and be unable to poop!]

Su Jingwen & Su Xiucheng: "???"

Who is Chirp cursing?

Jiang Yuming: This is the first time I've heard Xue Zheng mention the past. He stood there, stunned, not knowing what to do.

Xue Zheng's sincerity in trying to persuade him to eat touched him deeply.

“I’ll eat it!”

Jiang Yuming swore that he wasn't doing it for food or drink, but entirely for the most sincere feelings between them!

Just as the chubby hand was about to reach out, Xue Zheng dodged and sized up Jiang Yuming: "Forget it, you don't need to eat."

Jiang Yuming: "???"

Wait, what do you mean, buddy? Are you messing with him?

Xue Zheng was mostly trying to comfort him by talking nonsense, telling him not to feel inferior because of his weight, as everyone has their own painful memories. But he wasn't telling him to overeat and actually become a fat person.

Jiang Yuming: "Brother Xue Zheng, all my sincere feelings for you have been wasted!"

Xue Zheng: "Eat less, it's healthier!"

Chiu Chiu: [Waaaa, Brother Xue Zheng is so pitiful!]

Su Jingwen: I just asked Qiuqiu to comfort them, how did she end up being sad herself?

A group of people were left feeling depressed after a barbecue.

There's also someone inside who could go crazy at any moment.

When the Crown Princess heard that Gu Qinghuai had run away, she couldn't sit still and went straight to Wangchun Pavilion.

When she arrived there at top speed, there was a row of people sitting in front of Gu Qinghuai's door. They all had similar expressions, looking worried and distressed, which startled her so much that she almost tripped and fell.

She stumbled and rushed over, asking, "What happened? Did Qinghuai hurt someone?"

She knew Gu Qinghuai's condition best. No one usually came to Wangchunting, so he was placed here. How did he suddenly run away?

A group of people, from tallest to shortest, looked up together, and Xue Zheng answered for them: "No."

On the contrary, the one inside almost got hurt.

The Crown Princess breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked over to urge them to leave: "Let's call it a day, and come out to play together again next time, okay?"

They asked questions verbally, but their actions were decisive, urging them to leave as if they were chicks.

Just then, the door was suddenly pulled open. When Gu Qinghuai was exposed to the sunlight, he couldn't help but squint. He raised his hand to shield his eyes and slowly lowered it after adjusting for a while.

"Aunt Jin."

The Crown Princess stopped, turned around, looked at the child who looked so much like her friend, and sighed softly.

"Qinghuai..."

Her voice choked with emotion, and it was as if she could see Awen standing there smiling at her, which made her even more heartbroken.

This is the child my best friend risked her life to give birth to!

How crazy can he get?

Gu Qinghuai's eyes darted around, and he pointed at Qiuqiu: "Aunt Jin, I want her."

The Crown Princess of England: "???"

He must be really crazy!

Happy New Year, my darlings!

Wishing everyone a lucky year filled with good fortune!
