Madam Su knew that Xiao Jin hadn't listened to her at all, so she simply put down her bowl, went over and snatched the book from Su Ruojin's hand.
"Even if you're in a hurry, you have to drink the porridge first. How can you say you can take care of yourself like this?"
The book was snatched from her hand. Su Ruojin looked up and saw her mother's unhappy face. She stood up with a forced smile and said, "Okay, I'll drink it, Mom, don't be angry."
She got up, picked up the porridge, and started drinking it directly without even using a spoon, which made Madam Su anxiously nag from the side, "Slow down, drink slowly, be careful not to choke."
Su Ruojin finished the bowl in one gulp, put it down, wiped her mouth casually, and chuckled, "Mom, this is porridge, you won't choke. I've finished it."
After saying that, she took the book from Madam Su's hand and continued reading.
"Woof~"
Just then, a small white creature got off the bed and scurried up onto Mrs. Su's shoulder, its little paws clasped together as if to wave goodbye.
Madam Su had spent some time with Mao Mao after accompanying Su Ruojin on this trip. Seeing Mao Mao's behavior, she knew perfectly well that the little guy was asking her for food.
Mrs. Su had never seen such a spirited animal as Mao Mao, and she liked it very much.
They dote on Mao Mao so much that they grant her every wish.
Seeing Mao Mao like this, she took out a small bag she had prepared beforehand and spread it out. It was full of hazelnuts, pine nuts, and peanuts.
Mao Mao's eyes widened visibly, as if they were flashing with golden light.
Instead of rushing to take the food from the small bag, it tilted its head and rubbed against Mrs. Su's face to express its gratitude.
This gentle touch softened Madam Su's heart. She sat down, gently cradled Mao Mao on her lap, and unfolded the small bag. "Eat."
Then Mao Mao started to pick up a hazelnut with its little paws and eat it.
Su Ruojin glanced up and laughed, "Mom, just keep spoiling it. If it keeps eating like this, Mao Mao will need to lose weight."
While others lost weight from the long journey, Mao Mao became increasingly chubby.
"Mao Mao is so small, how fat can he get? Why is he trying to lose weight?" Madam Su affectionately picked up a pine nut and handed it to Mao Mao.
Mao Mao obediently took the pine nuts and cracked them open, placing the kernels in his palm and spreading them out in front of Madam Su.
The meaning is quite clear: it's for Madam Su to eat one as well.
Mrs. Su laughed heartily and gently reached out to pat Mao Mao's little head. "Mao Mao eats, but Grandma doesn't."
Mrs. Su has consciously taken on the role and is treating Mao Mao like her grandson.
How could Madam Su not love such a sensible, well-behaved, and filial "grandson" who even peeled shells for her?
Su Ruojin smiled and shook her head, no longer paying attention to her mother and Mao Mao, and continued reading.
Mrs. Su was petting its fur and chatting with it.
"Mao Mao, Xiao Jin said you're a real gem. You can detoxify and identify poisons. You're really capable."
Alas, what a pity! Why can't you cure the poison?
"If you could help Xiao Jin get rid of this Gu poison from the so-called Demon Gu King, that would be wonderful. Then Grandma would prepare as much delicious food as she wanted every day."
Mao Mao stopped eating pine nuts and barked at Madam Su.
Whether it understood or merely gave a perfunctory reply to Mrs. Su, it then continued to eat pine nuts with its head down.
What was said unintentionally may have been taken to heart by the listener.
Su Ruojin, who was reading a book, suddenly turned her head and stared straight at Mao Mao.
As if sensing something, Mao Mao looked up and saw Su Ruojin looking at her. She quickly grabbed a hazelnut, cracked it open, took out the kernel, and handed it to Su Ruojin with her little paws.
"Woof~~~"
