"Xingyue, Xingyue, it's almost time to go home. Shall we pack up and get ready to leave?"
Looking down at his watch, Huo Tingxiao spoke softly to the person who was engrossed in watching TV on the sofa, offering a tentative reminder.
The short two-day weekend flew by, and today is Monday. The two of them had previously agreed to pick up Huo Tingjun from school together.
These past two days, Wen Xingyue has been staying at home, watching TV, bickering with Huo Tingjun, and eagerly anticipating what delicious food Wang Ma will cook each day.
"It's time to get out of school already?"
Wen Xingyue reluctantly looked away from the television, blinked her tired eyes, and was somewhat surprised.
I didn't expect the day to go by so quickly.
It all comes down to Little Fatty. During this time, Wen Xingyue has come to regard Little Fatty as a good friend. Wen Xingyue is quite concerned about good friends, as he is the first playmate she has had since coming to the human world.
"Yes, it's time. Shall we go out together? We can watch TV when we get back. Let's go outside the school to buy some delicious food. When we get back, Aunt Wang will have dinner ready. After dinner, you can play with Tingjun again."
Seeing her rub her dry eyes, Huo Tingxiao felt somewhat helpless.
When she first arrived in the human world, she was incredibly curious about everything, especially television, which she watched with rapt attention.
Every time he worried that her eyes would hurt from watching for too long, he would urge her to take a break. She would look at him pitifully, plead sweetly, and tug at his sleeve, saying softly, "Just one more episode, just one more episode, please~" Huo Tingxiao~
She called his name in a soft, gentle voice.
Having lived for twenty-seven years, apart from his mother, Huo Tingxiao had hardly ever had any contact with girls. Later, he spent ten years in the military camp, where he only saw grown men every day. Now, suddenly being stared at by the pitiful eyes of that adorable little peach blossom spirit, who was acting coquettishly, how could Commander Huo resist?
The only course of action is compromise, compromise, and more compromise.
He couldn't just tell the little peach blossom spirit to stop watching TV, so he had to find other ways to distract her from the TV.
He would either ask Huo Tingjun to take Wen Xingyue out to play, or drag her along to watch Huo Tingjun exercise.
Today, Huo Tingjun went to school. He was clumsy with words and hadn't interacted much with girls, so he didn't know how to distract her. But when Wen Xingyue started to act cute, the time suddenly flew by. Before he knew it, it was time to pick Huo Tingjun up from school.
Huo Tingxiao breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Huo Tingjun, the Tool Man: ...
Hmph, now you know I'm useful, huh?
"Then let's go quickly."
Huo Tingxiao's arrangements were well-organized, and Wen Xingyue found them reasonable, nodding in agreement quickly.
[Delicious food! I want to eat well!]
Well, the reason Wen Xingyue was so enthusiastic was because of the delicious food.
Huo Tingxiao listened to her thoughts and simply smiled.
After these past few days, it's been confirmed that this little peach blossom spirit is a glutton.
...
On the other side, at the school gate after school.
"Huo Tingjun, are you hungry now because my mom made braised pork ribs today? Let's find a place to eat."
Qian Feipeng held the untouched lunchbox in his hand, looking nervously at Huo Tingjun beside him.
The two were not in the same class, but they were good friends. They often ate lunch together, one eating what the other brought.
Huo Tingjun ate lunch at home today, but he forgot to tell Qian Feipeng, so Qian Feipeng still brought his lunchbox to school, wanting to eat with him.
"No, my sister-in-law said that being too fat is bad for my health, so I need to lose weight."
Huo Tingjun glanced at the lunchbox that Qian Feipeng was holding in his arms and shook his head warily.
My sister-in-law said that someone drugged him, making him unable to eat anything given to him by others.
He thought about it for a while, and a doubt began to creep into his mind.
He was popular and came from a good family. Everyone at school was a kid, and if anyone brought snacks, they would share them with him. So almost every day someone would share food with him. Sometimes when he went home from school, people were simple and honest. If someone was cooking, they would share some with him. This made it hard for him to figure out who was trying to poison him. There were just too many people.
Thinking about his early death, Huo Tingjun now refuses to eat anything from anyone.
Normally... every time he had lunch with Qian Feipeng at noon, he would always feel hungry in the afternoon.
Today at school, he ate lunch at home before coming, so he wasn't as hungry as usual in the afternoon...
He didn't reveal that someone had drugged him. Not only had his father and brother repeatedly warned him not to alert the enemy, but Huo Tingjun himself had also secretly become more vigilant. He was foolish, not stupid; he was suspicious of everyone now.
In particular… his gaze fell on Qian Feipeng and the lunchbox he was holding.
He receives delicious food shared by his classmates every day, but the only meal he eats every day is lunch with Qian Feipeng.
The two met during a physical education class. After playing ball with his classmates on the playground, he was so tired that he sat down on the steps to rest. Suddenly, an enticing aroma wafted from the side. He turned around and saw that it was Qian Feipeng opening his lunchbox.
He was exhausted after playing ball, but the enticing aroma made his stomach rumble incessantly.
Upon hearing this, Qian Feipeng offered to eat with him.
Qian Feipeng's mother cooks really well, and with him sitting next to him and telling him interesting stories, he has a great appetite.
My parents are often busy with work, sometimes so busy that they don't even have time to eat lunch. My older brother is away from home most of the time, so he usually eats alone, which is not very enjoyable.
Later, Qian Feipeng told him that if he liked his mother's cooking, he could ask her to cook more. After learning that he ate alone at home, he told him that they could eat together at school. Huo Tingjun was already bored eating alone, so he readily agreed when someone accompanied him.
Later, the two often brought their own lunch to eat at school. However, Huo Tingjun was not an unreasonable person. Knowing that no one in the family was well-off these days, she would not let Qian Feipeng suffer.
He would also pack two meals from home and bring them to school so the two of them could eat together and share the food.
He eats his food, he eats his food.
The two of them ate like that for over a year.
Huo Tingjun is currently in the second grade; the two met in the first grade.
"Losing weight! Xiao Jun, your sister-in-law is definitely envious of how much you're pampered at home. Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo dote on you, and Grandma Wang is also good to you. As for her, who forced her way into your family, your whole family dislikes her. She feels unbalanced because you're pampered."
Therefore, she's deliberately trying to prevent you from eating, Xiaojun. Don't believe that nagging fool's nonsense. My mom said that being able to eat is a blessing, and the more you eat, the more blessings you have. Your dieting is exactly what she wants, so you absolutely mustn't fall for it.
He hadn't discovered anything; he had simply been brainwashed. Qian Feipeng breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his next words made him raise his voice slightly, revealing his anger.
She acted as if she was doing it for his own good, but Wen Xingyue seemed to be trying to prevent him from eating!
