744 A Million Times for You 106 (1/2)
”Really? I knew it, Godma couldn't have been as what Wen Yuechan said!”
Jin Yiheng pinched her chubby face and said, ”Let's go.”
Long Xiaoxi reached out to grab his arm and said, ”Brother Yiheng, I'm going to stop calling you 'Brother' from now on. I want to address you by your name too. If Wen Yuechan is allowed to do that, I should be too.”
”Okay.”
”I brought a lot of snacks along when Daddy sent me back here. I'll give you some later.”
”I'll stop eating snacks from now on,” said Long Xiaoxi.
”Why?” Jin Yiheng asked with a look of puzzlement in his eyes.
”I'm going to go on a diet and lose weight.”
”Actually, you're not very fat, you don't have to lose weight…”
Pouting her lips, Long Xiaoxi chastised, ”You boys just love telling lies. When you asked me why I didn't want to let Wen Yuechan tag along to the boot camp, I told you that it was because she made fun of me and called me 'fat.' Yet all you said was, 'Was she wrong?' I still remember it clearly. You claim that you don't think I need to lose any weight but you called me fat indirectly. How harsh of you.”
”You still remember that. It's my fault for not thinking twice before I speak,” he said with a look of embarrassment.
”My mother said that you actually mean the things you blurt out mindlessly. I must lose weight. My mother also said that I'll start to lose weight slowly as long as I stop snacking,” said a determined Long Xiaoxi.
”Xiaoxi, will you really be able to resist the temptation of the delicious snacks I brought? I've brought your favorite beef jerky and egg tarts. They won't be fresh anymore by tomorrow.”
Stuck in a dilemma, Long Xiaoxi could not help but ask, ”You can't finish them alone, right?”
”Yes.”
She took a deep breath and said, ”Alright, I'll just have a bit of everything. It's my pleasure to help you solve your difficulties.”
Jin Yiheng smiled and brought her back to the dormitory.
Staring at the ravenous Long Xiaoxi, who was eagerly shoving an egg tart into her mouth, he handed her a piece of tissue and said, ”Slow down. I won't eat any, you may have all of them.”
”How can I do that? That's too much for me, I have to lose weight.”
”How are you going to have the energy to lose weight if you don't eat?”
Long Xiaoxi nodded fervently like a woodpecker and chirped, ”Yes, yes, you're right.”
Smiling widely from ear to ear, Jin Yiheng watched as Long Xiaoxi wolfed the snacks down furiously and polished off all the food in no time.
After all, Long Xiaoxi was much younger and smaller in size than Wen Yuechan. Hence, she was kicked in the head by Wen Yuechan, who was trying to defend herself when she was pinned on the ground.
Long Xiaoxi winced in pain and blew her top. Seething with exasperation, she bit down into Wen Yuechan's leg, causing the latter to bawl loudly in pain.

At five o'clock in the evening, An Xiaoning stared at Jin Qingyan, who was typing away on his computer, and asked earnestly, ”What do you say I take charge of fixing dinner tonight?”
Jin Qingyan paused in his actions and stared at her apprehensively. ”Aren't you an amateur at cooking?”
”Yes, but it's just cooking, it can't be that hard. There are recipes available all over the internet. I'll just follow the instructions while preparing the meal.”
”Why did you suddenly decide to cook?”
”Because I'd like to express my gratitude toward you.” An Xiaoning stood up and continued, ”I'm going to the kitchen now. You're not allowed to come in. Wait here patiently for the sumptuous feast!”
”Sure.”
An Xiaoning put on her apron and asked, ”What would you like to eat, though?”
