Xiaoqi bent her knees slightly, firmly planted her feet in a horse stance, clenched her little fists on either side of her belly, raised her chin, her eyes were determined, and her little face was full of confidence as she shouted loudly, "Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"

"ha?"

"So we're really coming?"

"Little Seven, take this!"

A group of little girls giggled and reached out, first touching her round belly, then kneading her little tummy...

Xiaoqi's face turned bright red, and she was extremely anxious. She thought to herself: The instructor is lying! They're just touching me like this, and I already feel so itchy. I can't hold back anymore!

No! I can't give up!

Xiaoqi bit her lip tightly, and large beads of sweat slid down her forehead along the flower-shaped birthmark.

"Huh, what's that smell?"

"It smells so good!"

Can you smell it?

"I can smell it!"

"I can smell it too, it smells so good!"

"Did someone wear perfume?"

"This fragrance seems to be coming from Xiao Qi."

Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they had stopped scratching her. She moved her feet carefully, afraid that they would launch another surprise attack.

"Xiao Qi, where are you going?"

Someone blocked her way, leaned close to her hair and sniffed it, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"Let me smell you, is this your scent?"

"I don't smell, don't sniff me like a puppy!" Xiaoqi said, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.

"Oh, why are you all coming over here!" Xiaoqi tried to get away from the group of little girls, but was surrounded.

"Xiaoqi, you smell so good! Did you secretly wear perfume?"

"I didn't wear perfume! You guys get out of here, you're probably just craving my lotus root cakes!"

"Xiao Qi, do you have lotus root cakes?"

"Lotus root cakes are so delicious, they're fragrant and crispy!"

"Give us a piece!"

"How can you be so stingy!"

Xiaoqi frowned and asked reluctantly, "Why don't you share a piece?"

"We'll each have one! What are you thinking? This lotus root cake is so small, how can it be enough for us to share? It's not a big pancake!"

Xiaoqi was a little unhappy when she heard this. She pouted and muttered, "That won't do. There are too many of you. If I give you each one piece, the lotus root cakes will be all gone, and I won't have any left!"

"Lotus root cakes can't be kept for too long, they'll spoil. You should share them with us so they don't go to waste."

"Yes, Xiao Qi, you can't waste food."

"Who said I would waste food! I'll eat it now!" Xiaoqi took out a box of lotus root cakes and started eating with both hands, taking a bite from the left and a bite from the right, until her cheeks were bulging.

"Xiao Qi is so stingy!"

I'm going to tickle you!

Xiaoqi turned and ran away, secretly relieved: Luckily I ran fast, otherwise they would have tickled me again.

Xiaoqi stopped, tilted her head, and looked at the little girls behind her who hadn't caught up, her face full of confusion. She asked, puzzled, "Aren't you going to chase me anymore?"

"Xiaoqi, you can't run around while you're eating, or your stomach will hurt," a little girl kindly reminded her.

"Yes, my grandma said that if you eat something and then run, your stomach will hurt a lot, your intestines will get knotted, and they'll have to cut your stomach open and cut off a piece of it. It's so scary!" another little girl said seriously.

Xiaoqi trembled with fright, secretly relieved: "Luckily they reminded me, otherwise my stomach would have hurt."

Xiaoqi let out a burp; in fact, she had already eaten when her older brother arrived.

Lotus root cakes really can't be kept for long. Grandpa made so many, he must have wanted her to share them with everyone.

She was initially very reluctant.

But seeing the drooling, pitiful-looking young ladies, and their kind reminder that she couldn't run away while eating, Xiaoqi felt she was a grateful child, so she waved her little hand and said, "Here, take it all!"

"It's rare to see Xiaoqi being so generous!"

"Sisters, give Xiaoqi a loving hug!"

"Give Xiaoqi a loving kiss!"

Xiaoqi was surrounded by a group of beautiful young ladies, who hugged and kissed her, staying close to her and reluctant to leave.

"Xiaoqi, you smell so good!"

"It smells so good! What kind of perfume is this? I want to try some too!"

"What brand of perfume is it? I'll go back and tell my mom so she can buy some too. She loves buying perfume."

Xiaoqi looked down and sniffed herself, looking puzzled: "It does smell a little nice, but I really didn't wear any perfume!"

"Xiaoqi, you're sweating a lot. It must be from running just now."

Let me wipe your sweat.

Why does your sweat smell so good?

"Xiao Qi, do you have a natural fragrance?"

Xiaoqi was confused and very puzzled: Do I have a natural body odor? What's going on?

"It smells so good!"

"Xiaoqi, you're just like Consort Xiang in the TV series, you're naturally fragrant!"

"Xiaoqi, you're amazing!"

"If my mom smelled naturally like you, she could save a lot of money on perfume and buy me lots of snacks."

"Xiaoqi, give me the tissue you used to wipe your sweat. I'll put it in the drawer to freshen up."

"I want one too!"

"Xiaoqi, give me one too!"

Xiaoqi was very distressed. She waved her little hands in the air and cried out helplessly, "I can't divide them all! I just can't divide them all!"

"Xiao Qi, do you want to go run ten laps around the training ground?"

"Don't worry, we'll wipe your sweat for you!"

"Hehehe..."

"You're all bad guys! I'm not running away! Give me back my lotus root cake, I'm not letting you eat it!"

Upon hearing this, the little girls scattered and ran away, bursting into cheerful laughter: "Sisters, hurry up and eat them, or Xiao Qi will snatch them back!"

Han Chengda arrived at his doorstep just as Han Chengshan and Han Fei returned. The three met at the door.

Han Fei asked, "How are Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi doing lately?"

Han Chengshan asked with a grin, "Little sister, have you lost weight? Boy Scout training must be similar to military training, right? You must have lost weight from the exhaustion!"

Han Chengda sighed, "It's a long story!"

"Have you lost weight or not?"

"Hey, you shouldn't ask that. You should ask the other way around: have you gained weight or not?"

Han Chengshan looked bewildered: "Have you gained weight or not?"

Han Chengda nodded solemnly and replied, "You've gained weight."

Han Chengshan was dumbfounded: "Big brother, are you kidding me? Didn't they just go through a desert island survival experience? I heard there wasn't much food there, how could they gain weight?"

Han Chengda touched his face: "Her little face is all round now. She doesn't look like she hasn't eaten or drunk anything. Instead, she looks like she's had a big meal."

"Really? My sister is amazing! How can she gain weight like that? Is Xiaoqi the kind of person who can gain weight just by drinking water?"

"I'm afraid so." Han Chengda felt utterly exhausted.

Han Chengshan looked up at the sky: "My cute little sister will turn into a mountain of flesh in the future? It's unimaginable!"

Han Fei sighed; he didn't want to have the same troubles as Old Gu.

If Xiaoqi weren't too young to consume medicinal cuisine, he would have planned to make medicinal cuisine for her to help her lose weight.
