Chapter 335 - A Family (2/2)

Finally, Xia Ruoxin sat opposite Gao Yi. The bowl in front of her was already piling with the different dishes.

”Ruoxin, in the future, you can start eating first. Don't have to wait for me.” Gao Yi's voice sounded reproachful as he said while he was eating. Was she trying to starve herself by behaving like this? No matter what time, she would be there waiting for him to have their meals together. Even if he came back late from work, she would still be waiting for him. He knew she was treating him very well. However, it also meant that she was living her life a bit too cautiously.

”I don't want to eat alone.” Xia Ruoxin simply replied with a smile. She had stated a fact—she did not like to eat alone because she felt it was too lonely. To say that she was waiting for him, it should be the other way round; he was keeping her company.

”Uh, neither do I.” Gao Yi was constantly putting food into his mouth. Although it was a simple home-cooked meal, it was really delicious. If any of his friends were to see the way he was eating now, they would be so shocked that their jaws would drop. For a fussy eater like him, he would not even lift his chopsticks if it wasn't something he liked to eat. However, when he was around Xia Ruoxin, he would eat whatever she had prepared. Thus, all of them, as a family, had gained weight.

That's right. A family. It was a really nice way to address them. He would make sure that they become a real family soon.

Xia Ruoxin's head was buried in the bowl. There was no need for her to take her own food. Her bowl was piled high with a small mountain of food. It would take her some time to finish it.

While Xia Ruoxin was hard at work trying to finish her food, a faint smile appeared on Gao Yi's mouth. That's it. You should eat more. I won't mind you being fat, but I don't like it when you're thin.

…

Xia Ruoxin froze, and then she sniffed. Her eyes began to tear up.

Rainy, in her soft cow leather shoes, kept looking up at Xia Ruoxin as she talked. Her eyes were wide with wonder.

”Mommy, are there many children in a school?” She was walking very fast on her tiny feet. In the past, she had been very quiet. However, nowadays, she had become rather active.

”Yes. There are many children of your age in school, and you will have many friends.” Xia Ruoxin told her daughter as she took Rainy's small hand in hers. As a mother, Xia Ruoxin was naturally worried about Rainy's conflicted feelings towards school. However, Rainy seemed to be managing it better than Xia Ruoxin had imagined.

Rainy reached out and rested her hand on her short hair. ”Will they say that I am ugly?” She pouted her little lips. Her hair was still short, yet to grow long.

”Do you think I'm ugly?” Xia Ruoxin asked as she tidied up her own hair. Did it look ugly? Her hair was very short, and yet she felt cooler with this hairdo.

Rainy shook her head hard. One of her hands was always holding on to Xia Ruoxin's. ”Mommy, you are the most beautiful mommy in the world.”

”Rainy, you and I look alike. How can you be ugly?” She rubbed her daughter's hair.

”Mmm, I know now.” Rainy smiled adorably as her tiny feet continued to walk. She would be going to school soon. It was terrifying, yet exhilarating.

Xia Ruoxin took her daughter's hand and kept walking. Gao Yi had already made the necessary arrangements for the school. However, he had a surgery to perform today so Xia Ruoxin had to bring Rainy alone. He would definitely be exhausted by the time he returns, and on top of that, he had to bring Rainy to school. Xia Ruoxin did not want to wear him out. She would handle the matter pertaining to Rainy's education on her own. All she wanted was for him to get more rest.
