"Jiayu is having dinner at Zhan's house, we don't have to wait for her."
"Ah, why didn't you invite me to Brother Nanqi's house?"
Xue Huanyu wanted to pout, but was afraid of upsetting Xu Suzhen, so he had to swallow his complaint.
After dinner, Xue Huanyu played for a long time and waited for Xue Jiayu to come back.
I didn't wait for Xue Jiayu to come back, but I waited for Gu Yuan.
"Jiayu, Xiaoyu, I'm here to play with you!"
Gu Yuan ran into the Xue family carelessly and greeted Jiang Qiuyu and Xue Wangjun.
"Hello, uncle and aunt! Hello, grandma!"
"Hello, hello."
Xu Suzhen liked this fat boy the most. She patted his head and said, "Come, help yourself to the fruit on the table."
Gu Yuan was about to eat when the Xue family's phone suddenly rang. Jiang Qiuyu looked and saw that it was Xu Huimei calling.
"If you have anything to say when you're so close, why bother calling?"
She was just wondering, when she picked up the phone, Xu Huimei's loud voice broke through the microphone.
"Qiu Yi, please keep an eye on my kid and don't let him eat too much."
Jiang Qiuyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You made a special call just for this matter. Is it necessary?"
"Of course. Look how fat he is. He's as fat as a ball. I'm embarrassed to take him out."
Gu Yuan was about to take the biscuits on the table, but when he heard Xu Huimei's words, he silently put his hand down.
Jiang Qiuyi hung up the phone perfunctorily. Seeing Gu Yuan lowering his head, she couldn't help but comfort him, "Yuanyuan, Mom is actually doing this for your own good. Eating too much is unhealthy, so don't blame Mom."
"Yeah, I know." Gu Yuan raised his head and forced a smile, "Mom is thinking about my health, but I really want to eat, Aunt Jiang."
His appetite came and he couldn't control himself.
There were many nights when he went to bed hungry.
Jiang Qiuyu also felt sorry for the child, but after all, he was not her son, so she could only persuade Gu Yuan not to blame Xu Huimei.
"Mom is doing this for your own good. If you want to eat something, just come to auntie's place quietly. I'll make you a delicious vegetable salad. It's delicious and healthy."
"Yes, thank you Aunt Jiang. I'll go back first."
Gu Yuan stood up listlessly and walked towards the door. Jiang Qiuyi looked at him worriedly, "Are you leaving now? Aren't you coming to play with Xiaobao and the others?"
"I suddenly don't want to play anymore, so I go for a run. I'll run a few laps before going home. My mother will definitely be very happy to see me running."
"If you don't want to run, it's fine. Taking a walk is also good. Xiaoyu, can you accompany Yuanyuan for a walk?"
Xue Huanyu didn't want to move, but she had just returned to this house and had to listen to Jiang Qiuyu and behave well, so she agreed immediately.
"Okay, let's go."
Gu Yuan didn't want to go for a walk, but Xue Huanyu had already put on her shoes, so the two of them had no choice but to walk slowly in the community.
Xue Huanyu wanted to go to the Zhan family, but Gu Yuan didn't want to.
"I won't go. My mom compares Nan Qi to me every day, saying that he is so thin and I am so fat. I didn't get so fat on purpose!"
Gu Yuan frowned, turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
"Wait a minute!"
Xue Huanyu had to follow him. If something happened to Gu Yuan at this time, everyone would hate her even more.
She followed Gu Yuan unhappily, "Walk slower."
"No, I just need to walk fast to burn calories and lose weight."
Gu Yuan walked very fast as if in a huff. Xue Huanyu yelled at him angrily, "You know how to lose weight now? What about when you eat? If you had been a little bit restrained when eating, you wouldn't have to be scolded by your aunt now."
Gu Yuan stopped in disbelief and looked at her hurt: "Xiaoyu, even you are talking about me."
"If I don't say anything about you, who will? Do you think my mother would coax you like that? Forget it! If you want to lose weight, just control your diet, exercise more and eat less."
Gu Yuan knew this truth very well. He sat on the ground and said, "I just can't do it!"
"You can't do it because you don't want to. Do you still want to be laughed at for being fat like before? Do you need us to help you every time you are laughed at?"
“…”
Gu Yuan felt so ashamed of what she said but he had to admit that she was right.
“But I have no motivation.”
Gu Yuan said aggrievedly, “I don’t know why I lost weight.”
"So that others won't look down on you."
Xue Huanyu took a deep breath and squatted in front of him. Seeing his pitiful appearance, she couldn't help but open her heart.
"Do you know that the words I heard were much more unpleasant than what you heard? They only laughed at you for being fat, but they laughed at me for being a burden to the Xue family and said that I was a parasite of the Xue family. I still have to live well. But I won't let them laugh at me all the time, so I want to be a real daughter of the Xue family, and I won't let those people look down on me for the rest of my life. You have to do the same, understand?"
"...I know!" Gu Yuan was encouraged by her words, "Then can you run with me?"
"I can't run."
Xue Huanyu refused immediately.
Gu Yuan's fighting spirit, which had just been ignited, was extinguished again.
"Oh well."
"So you're not going to run anymore? Am I losing weight or are you losing weight?" Xue Huanyu rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Although I can't run, I can watch you run and supervise you. Don't even think about slacking off."
"I will never be lazy!" Gu Yuan raised his hand and swore, then turned around and ran forward.
Xue Huanyu followed him slowly.
After running a few dozen meters, Gu Yuan turned around and saw Xue Huanyu making faces at him, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster.
They didn't go home until dinner time. Xue Huanyu had been out in the sun for the entire afternoon and was already feeling unhappy.
Gu Yuan sent her to the door of her house. Xue Jiayu happened to come out of the room to water the flowers. Seeing them, she immediately asked curiously, "Where have you been?"
Xue Huanyu immediately put away his expression and replied positively: "I went jogging with Gu Yuan."
"Wow! Gu Yuan, when did you become so fond of sports? I want to go running next time too."
"That's great, we can do it together. I have decided to run three kilometers every day." Gu Yuan was full of energy, he didn't believe that he couldn't lose weight this way.
Xue Jiayu gave a thumbs up and said, "I believe you can do it."
"Me too."
Xue Huanyu wanted to maintain her kind image in Xue Jiayu's heart, so even though she didn't believe Gu Yuan could lose weight, she still agreed and even said many encouraging words to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan was so excited that he held her hand and asked, "Will you run with me tomorrow?"
"Why do you want me to accompany you?" Xue Huanyu frowned, "Will you not run away if I don't accompany you?"
"No, no, what I mean is that I will be more motivated if you supervise me. Otherwise, if no one supervises me, I will be lazy."
Gu Yuan explained with a red face, and Xue Huanyu said unhappily: "Okay, let me see."
