Small Town Rebirth: Starting From Birth

On the internet, people often commemorate their childhoods. Chen Bing, a young man from a small town who was one of them, found himself back 24 years ago, in the small town of his birth, after his ...

Chapter 243 I'll Eat My Way Back

As Chen Bing imagined the wonderful future, she unconsciously tightened her embrace of Xiao Shang.

As his movements became more forceful, the thick, white, short down jacket he was wearing sank deep into it.

After regaining her senses, Chen Bing looked at Shang Yunmiao in surprise.

So you're just bloated!

Well, just kidding. Of course, Chen Bing wouldn't say something so tactless, but that's roughly what he meant.

"You've lost so much weight compared to how you look!!"

I'm sure everyone has had this experience: those cute, fluffy kittens and puppies become skinny and bony as soon as they get a bath or get wet.

It's not that Shang Yunmiao is that thin, but with her height of 1.59 meters, wearing a thick and warm short cotton-padded jacket in the dead of winter, coupled with her cute baby-faced features, she looks exactly like an adorable rice dumpling.

No one could imagine that this cute little dumpling with chubby cheeks is actually a very petite girl.

In Chen Bing's memory, Shang Yunmiao probably weighed around 110 pounds, or even more. But judging from her current appearance, she probably weighed around 90 pounds.

It's not that Chen Bing, as the eldest brother, was negligent in not noticing Shang Yunmiao's weight change in time.

The main reason is that winter has been here for quite some time, and Xiao Shang has been wearing thick clothes for more than just a day or two. In addition, after talking with Uncle Shang and the others, Chen Bing and Xiao Shang are not as busy being affectionate with each other when they get home as before.

Considering the reasons mentioned above, it is understandable that Chen Bing did not notice Shang Yunmiao's weight change in time. Therefore, he draws the following conclusion.

It seems I should spend more time getting to know Xiao Shang better so I can keep track of her health.

"Hmm? You sensed it?" Xiao Shang smiled slightly, then raised her arm, seemingly to show Chen Bing her current situation.

"I've probably been using my brain a lot for the past month or two, or maybe my appetite hasn't been great. Anyway, starting around November, my weight has been steadily decreasing every day, and I'm getting thinner and thinner. Hmm... but my face just won't slim down."

It's clear that Xiao Shang is quite satisfied with her weight change. After all, she's at this age, and it's 2019, so most junior high school students still value thinness as beauty.

But that won't do.

Chen Bing straightened her face and ordered Shang Yunmiao seriously, "Eat back your food. I like you to be slightly chubby. That's healthier, and it's more comfortable to hug you."

"Okay~ I got it." Shang Yunmiao playfully stuck out her tongue and accepted Chen Bing's order without much resistance.

However, even though she is honest and obedient, she can sometimes be two-faced.

After all, Shang Yunmiao thought to herself, her height was only 159 cm, and that was with shoes on. That wasn't considered very tall. If she weighed over 100 kg, wouldn't she be too fat?

Therefore, she feels that her current height and weight are great. At 159 cm tall and 46 kg, her body mass index is 18.2, which meets the healthy standard and is not considered thin.

And, moreover...

Thinking of the next reason, Shang Yunmiao's face unconsciously turned red again as she faced Chen Bing.

The reason I'm so light is mainly because my breasts are a size or two smaller than the average girl's, so it's not that I'm thin, it's just right.

Unaware of Shang Yunmiao's inner thoughts, Chen Bing took her small hand again and led her towards the school gate.

Honestly, I feed her a lot, so why is Xiao Shang still so thin? I need to buy her more food later and try to get her back to her cute, chubby figure before it gets hot. You know, the kind where you can just wear two rubber bands around your wrist and they'll create a little curve.

"Auntie, five servings of grilled cold noodles, please!" After leaving the school gate, Chen Bing went straight to a stall selling grilled cold noodles and said to the auntie selling them with great enthusiasm.

"Eat, we can't eat that much, it's not like we're going to eat it all." Xiao Shang gently tugged at Chen Bing's clothes from behind.

"It's okay, I'm hungry. I'll eat what you can't."

Since he's already said that, what can Xiao Shang say?

I can't just say no, I suspect you're planning to overfeed me, so I can't buy too much, right?

What if Chen Bing is really hungry?

As it turns out, all of Shang Yunmiao's kindness towards Chen Bing would eventually become a source of regret for her, a truth she only realized more than ten minutes later.

"Um... Chen Bing, I can't eat any more of this."

"Are you tired of this? Then have another bite of this big steamed bun. It's beef-filled. I just had a bite, and it's so delicious."

"No, no, I'm really full."

"You're lying! You can usually eat two big bowls of white rice at home, how could you be full already? Listen to me, just one more bite, I'll feed you, here comes the little flying stick!"

Left with no other option, Xiao Shang opened her mouth and took a small bite of the bun. But because she bit too lightly, her small mouth failed to break through the bun's protective shell.

"One bite isn't enough, sweetie, open your mouth wide, or I'll have to feed you with my mouth."

The two were sitting on chairs near the basketball court, just as Chen Bing had planned. They were lovingly feeding each other while watching the boys in their class play basketball in the cold wind.

Shang Yunmiao glanced at the classmates who kept looking in her direction, then at Chen Bing's serious eyes and his thin, delicious lips, and finally gave in and obediently took another bite.

After laughing and eating the rest of the buns, Chen Bing picked up the warm red bean milk tea and said, "Have some tea to quench your thirst."

"But this isn't tea, and I'm already very full."

"Pretty much, they're all liquids, and this one is sweet and delicious."

After explaining the logic that they were both liquids, Chen Bing brought the straw to Xiao Shang's lips and urged her to take a sip: "It's okay, desserts are stored in another stomach."

You can only fool yourself with this kind of nonsense; if you tell it to others, they'll probably think you're a fool.

But Shang Yunmiao still opened her mouth and gently sipped the milk tea that the fool had offered her. The reason was simple: the other person had just said that if she didn't drink it, he would reach out and touch his stomach to see if it was bulging.

Shang Yunmiao, who was only six or seven tenths full, thought to herself, "How can this be?" In her mind, her belly was a very private part of her body, and only when she was pregnant could Chen... no, her husband, touch it.

So, she could only be coaxed by Chen Bing to eat again and again, and slowly, she actually got full.
