From that day on, the group really gave up milk tea, fruit, and candy, all to help Liu Yuanyuan lose weight.
"Wow, Xiaoxiao, my abs are showing! I look so beautiful!"
"Me too, I never thought that getting rid of my tummy would make me even more beautiful."
Liu Yuanyuan pouted. Although she had lost five pounds, she was still a ways from achieving her slim waist.
However, she was still quite happy because she had lost a little weight, and she firmly believed that she would succeed in losing weight.
"Quickly take a picture to commemorate this beautiful moment."
After setting the time, the group stood in their positions and posed for several photos.
"Bang bang bang..."
Liu Yuanyuan opened the door.
"Dormitory 503, someone is looking for you outside."
All four of them were leaning over the balcony looking out; it was Xie Qing.
"Xiaoxiao, it's for you. Hurry up and go downstairs, don't keep the young man waiting."
Wang Xiaoyan patted Xiaoli's arm teasingly.
After their phone call, the three of them realized that Xie Qing was after Xiao Li.
After three years of getting to know each other, everyone has come to accept Xie Qing. After all, Xiao Li doesn't dislike him, so Xie Qing still has a good chance of becoming a full-fledged employee.
Xiao Li didn't dislike Xie Qing at all. He was the type of person she liked, and as she got to know him better, she found his personality to be very good. It's just that she was too busy and didn't have time to date.
"What brings you here? Isn't the shop busy?"
Xie Qing handed over four cups of milk tea. "I'm not busy today. You haven't ordered milk tea in a long time, so I came to check on you."
Xiao Li took it. "Yuan Yuan is on a diet, so she won't be ordering this for a long time. Let's make an exception for today. Wait for me a moment."
Xie Qing nodded, smiling as he watched Xiao Li go upstairs, just like when they first met.
A moment later, Xiaoli approached, holding a cup of milk tea and drinking it as she went.
Xie Qing's heart was pounding. He had come here today to confess his feelings, and he was hiding a rose in his left hand.
Xiao Li clearly 'saw' it, so she went upstairs to dress up and changed into a dress.
The two walked to a grove of trees next to the artificial lake, a quiet place that couples like to visit.
Xie Qing wiped the sweat from his palms and slowly extended his left hand.
"Xiaoxiao, the first time I met you, you threw me down. I'm probably the first suitor to be so embarrassed."
I'm so glad I met you again. I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?
Xiao Li followed her heart, took the rose from his hand, and nodded.
"good."
Xie Qing immediately smiled with delight.
"I quit my job at the bubble tea shop. I'm quite busy this year, not only writing my graduation thesis and defending it, but also doing an internship and looking for a job. I probably won't have much time to spend with you."
But I'll come whenever I have time, okay?
Xie Qing is a student at the nearby university of science and technology. He is a senior this year and will definitely be very busy during graduation season.
But he's graduating this year, and if he doesn't confess now, there will be even fewer opportunities to meet in the future.
Xiao Li understood. Xie Qing's family was not well-off, which could be seen from the fact that he usually took part-time jobs to supplement his family's income.
However, he did not feel inferior or blame others, which is very commendable.
"You don't need to worry about me. I promised you, so I won't feel like you don't have time for me, and I'm very busy too."
I'm only a junior this year, but I've already finished my coursework. I'll be doing an internship this year and participating in the school's teaching and research activities.
Xiao Li's mental strength is her most powerful advantage, allowing her to learn everything very quickly. In addition, she is not a novice in traditional Chinese medicine, so she had already registered with the professors at the school and directly entered the research institute.
Xie Qing glanced at Xiao Li's hand again and again, but didn't dare to take it. Xiao Li found it amusing and had to take the initiative herself.
Xie Qing finally got her wish, and her eyes crinkled with satisfaction.
The two sat by the lake for an entire afternoon, and I don't know what they talked about, but just being together made them feel incredibly happy.
On the weekend, Xiaoli went home and, as usual, took the vegetables and fruits from her storage space.
"Xiaoxiao, go wash your hands quickly, the food will be ready soon, you can eat now."
Xiao Wen has become even more beautiful in the past three years. Thanks to Xiao Li's care, she looks more than ten years younger. Li Dongliang is the same; both of them are in excellent condition now.
"Okay, Mom."
Xiao Li put the vegetables and fruits down, washed her hands, and came over. The food was already set out, so she sat down to eat.
"Mom and Dad, how's business this month?"
Two years ago, Xiao Li developed several kinds of ointments and sold them in her own pharmacy. In the past two years, the Li family pharmacy has been doing much better business.
Last month, Xiaoli developed a new type of freckle-removing cream, and it should be effective this month.
"Xiaoxiao, you are really amazing! That freckle cream sold out as soon as it hit the shelves. Not only that, but many people are asking about it, and other products have also benefited, with sales improving significantly."
Li Dongliang kept praising her.
Three years ago, they visited Zhou Yihan, but she did not want to acknowledge them, so they pretended that they did not have this daughter.
Xiao Li grew up by their side, and was no different from their own child, so they treated her as their only child.
Actually, they felt it was for the best. They didn't know how to get along with each other after the switch, but it was all fate. Fortunately, Xiaoli was very considerate, and they were even more grateful.
"Xiaoxiao, eat more shrimp, dip them in some sauce, this sauce is delicious."
Xiao Wen put the peeled shrimp into Xiao Li's bowl. This was her daughter's favorite food, and she would buy it in advance every weekend.
Xiao Li enjoyed her parents' care and fed herself.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to start graduate school this year and won't be able to come home for a long time, so please don't worry."
Xiao Wen immediately became worried, "Are you eating on time? Are you eating well? Should Mom bring you some food?"
Li Dongliang nodded in agreement.
"No need, we eat very well. The school takes it very seriously and has chefs who prepare nutritious meals and deliver them to us. We won't go hungry."
"That's good. Call me if you need anything, okay? Mom and Dad are always available."
"Okay, got it."
Li's parents are truly wonderful people. They not only respect me but are also incredibly open-minded and don't interfere too much. No wonder the original owner wanted to protect this family bond so much.
After the meal, Xiaoli packed some personal belongings and moved to the research institute. Her recent research project was a bit difficult, and she would be busy for a while.
Zhou Yihan was also busy. Since her identity was revealed three years ago, she had unknowingly transformed from the pampered one into the one who had to please everyone.
She no longer dared to be willful or arrogant because of her favored status. Being sensible became a compliment Su Luan always gave her, but she didn't want such praise. She just wanted to be a little princess loved by everyone.
Only in front of her fiancé, Liu Zilong, did she feel pampered and spoiled.
