"Xiaoxi, I can't finish this. You may have it," said Wen Yuechan, scooping some braised pork balls into Long Xiaoxi's plate.

Long Xiaoxi would have been overjoyed if it were Jin Yiheng or Long Wenlun who helped her to the food, because braised pork balls were one of her favorite dishes.

Yet, the person was Wen Yuechan.

She scooped the meatballs up and placed them back onto Wen Yuechan's plate. "I don't want your meatballs."

"I just thought you haven't had enough to eat…"

"I had enough."

Wen Yuechan did not insist further and instead continued eating slowly.

Shi Bao'er humphed and remarked snidely, "You really don't know any better. Yuechan was just being kind and giving you her food, yet you're still so ungrateful."

Long Xiaoxi ignored her and said, "If you can't finish that much food, don't get Auntie to scoop you so much. What a waste of food."

She looked down and polished the food off her plate. She then wiped her mouth before skipping out of the cafeteria merrily.

Long Xiaoxi would ask for an extra portion for every meal. Although the food served at the cafeteria was nutritious and tasty, she still enjoyed snacking nonetheless. After all, she was just a child.

She ran back to her dormitory room and switched on the air conditioner before taking out a slice of soft and spongy chiffon cake. As soon as she took a bite, Ji Gui opened the door, not giving her the time to hide the slice of cake at all.

"Hey, Xiaoxi, I knew you were secretly eating in your room. Stop eating desserts. The more sugar you eat, the fatter you'll get. You'll slim down very quickly if you try to lose weight now."

Since he had already caught her in the act, Long Xiaoxi decided to continue eating openly. She argued, "My Daddy already said that I'm still young and I shouldn't be going on diets right now. I'll lose weight naturally once I'm older."

"Your daddy's lying to you. Think about it, you're already so chubby now. You're going to get even fatter when you're older. By then, you'll have to spend years trying to lose weight."

"My Daddy wouldn't lie to me, but… why do I have to spend years trying to lose weight?" asked a puzzled Long Xiaoxi.

"Of course you'll have to spend lots of years losing weight. By the time you're twenty years old, you'd have been fat for twenty years. Xiaoxi…" Ji Gui looked at her solemnly and continued, "You'd definitely have to lose all your fats bit by bit. Hence, you'll be forty years old by the time you lose all the weight that you've gained."

Long Xiaoxi found something wrong with his logic. After giving his words some thought, she said in a moment of epiphany, "Dummy, are you stupid? I'm not going to get as fat as a balloon and become humongous just because I didn't go on a diet for twenty years."

Ji Gui pondered over her words before saying, "That seems about right."

"You're such a dimwit and yet you still have the cheek to lecture me. I really wonder how you manage to reassemble the mobile phones you've dismantled," Long Xiaoxi remarked, rolling her eyes at him.

He scratched his head and said, "By the way, I came to ask you to go out to play. They're all playing on the field."

"Nah, it's too warm outside. I want to stay in the dormitory to enjoy the air conditioning," she refused.

"You're really not going?"

"No," she said, remaining still.

"I saw Yuechan and Yiheng playing with marbles together when I was there just now."

Long Xiaoxi immediately put her cake away and said, "I must go and take a look."

Ji Gui smiled smugly, seemingly having already expected her to react that way.

After switching off the air conditioner, Long Xiaoxi warned him, "If what you said isn't true, you'd better prepare to receive a punishment from me."

"I'm speaking the truth. Go and take a look if you don't believe me."

The other children were still playing under the blazing sun when Long Xiaoxi and Ji Gui arrived at the field.

"See, Xiaoxi, what I said was true."

Long Xiaoxi looked at him and said, "Squat down."

He asked, "Why?"

"Squat down," she repeated.

Ji Gui did as he was told.

Long Xiaoxi climbed onto Ji Gui's back and put her arms around his neck while the rest of the children were not paying attention, completely catching him off guard and throwing him off balance.

"Xiaoxi, what are you doing?" asked Ji Gui, who almost fell forward.

"Carry me there."

"You have legs that are working fine. Why do I have to carry you?"

Long Xiaoxi said nonchalantly, "At this moment… my legs have already lost their mobility. Dummy, hurry and carry me there!"

Ji Gui had no choice but to do so.

"Why are you moving like a snail? Hurry up."

Clenching his jaw while struggling to carry her, Ji Gui said, "Xiaoxi, it's really time you lose weight."

Long Xiaoxi kept her eyes fixed on Wen Yuechan, who was smiling at Jin Yiheng. She subconsciously grabbed Ji Gui's hair and retorted angrily, "I'm not going to marry you when I'm older anyway. Who are you to despise me? Say another word and I'll rip your hair off."

Knowing that he could not afford to incur her wrath, Ji Gui did not say another word and continued to carry her across the field.

Wen Yuechan was the first to spot them. "Ah, did Xiaoxi injure her leg? Why did she make Ji Gui carry her?"

Long Wenlun scurried over toward her and asked, "Xiaoxi, what happened to your leg?"

"Brother, I don't know what happened just now but I couldn't move my legs at all so I got Dummy to carry me instead."

"I'll ask Coach to call Daddy and Mommy and tell them to take you to the hospital."

"Don't." Long Xiaoxi tugged at her brother's sleeve and whispered something into his ear. Long Wenlun was dumbfounded. However, being the intelligent person he was, he immediately understood what was happening.

At this moment, the other children approached.

"Yiheng, Xiaoxi's leg hurts. Carry her back to the dormitory."

Before Jin Yiheng could even speak, Wen Yuechan butted in, "You're her brother, why can't you carry her yourself? Don't tell me you can't carry her at all?"

She was indirectly mocking Long Xiaoxi for being chubby.

Long Xiaoxi could obviously tell what she meant. She smacked Ji Gui's head and said, "Put me down."

Ji Gui put her down slowly. As soon as she stepped foot onto the ground, Jin Yiheng squatted down in front of Long Xiaoxi. Beaming with joy, she climbed onto his back and shot a glance at Wen Yuechan smugly.

The smile on Wen Yuechan's face vanished. Her relationship with Jin Yiheng was just improving recently. Mommy told me that children are often forgetful and rarely take things to heart, yet this Long Xiaoxi has been holding a grudge against me for so long. No matter how hard she tried to make things more amicable between her and Long Xiaoxi, the latter just seemed to refuse to bury the hatchet.

She could tell that nothing worked on Long Xiaoxi, who would become the main hindrance in her getting closer to Jin Yiheng.

Noticing that they had all left except Ji Gui, Wen Yuechan said to him, "I saw everything that happened when you guys arrived. She did that on purpose, didn't she?"

Ji Gui denied, "How could Xiaoxi do it on purpose? Her leg really began to hurt the moment she walked there."

He then scurried toward the rest of the bunch.

Long Xiaoxi was over the moon on the way back to the dormitory. Her chubby face became even rounder when she was smiling gleefully.

Upon returning to the dormitory, Jin Yiheng lowered her onto the bed and shifted his gaze onto her unfinished slice of cake. "Refrain from eating so much dessert. Too much sugar can cause your teeth to decay, and it's bad for your health too."

"Yes! You're right, Yiheng. I must reduce my dessert intake from now on," Long Xiaoxi said earnestly.
