Chapter 355: Chapter 355

The result of eating to her heart’s content was that Gong Ruini felt her stomach was going to burst.

Sigh, it was truly delicious. Today’s dishes weren’t just the braised pork made by Hua Miaozhu, even the other dishes were made by Hua Miaozhu.

With so many tasty dishes, how could Gong Ruini resist?

As for the earlier pride in losing her baby fat due to illness and wanting to maintain her victory, it was all forgotten.

Who cares about dieting these days? Eating till you’re round and healthy is how you prove a family’s good standing.

Moreover, Gong Ruini had just recovered from a serious illness, so eating more wouldn’t hurt, at most she’d just return to her pre-illness weight.

"My stomach’s so full, Sister Ni, give me a massage," Zhao Banxia was also lying on the warm kang, mimicking and repeatedly saying her stomach was too full,

Zhao Zisu didn’t overeat because he had eaten too much in the past and remembered the consequences well. He wouldn’t overeat.

But seeing his brother acting spoiled towards Gong Ruini, he also felt envious and lay down too, "Sister Ni, I also overate, massage me too."

With a face full of black lines, Gong Ruini wasn’t new to massaging Zhao Zisu’s belly, but that was when she hadn’t overeaten herself. Now she was stuffed as well.

She couldn’t even take care of herself, let alone others. Besides, she’d seen Zhao Zisu’s appetite; no way he overate with just today’s fare.

Humph, this child must be jealous. "Brother Guangran, help Banxia massage his belly." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novᴇlfire.net

Kids have their pride, can’t expose them, or Brother Guangran would definitely tease Zisu endlessly once he finds out.

"Not Brother Guangran." Zhao Zisu was disappointed that it wasn’t the gentle Sister Ni giving him the massage, but thinking about Sister Ni also being uncomfortable, he accepted it wouldn’t be her.

But it couldn’t be Zhao Guangran giving him a massage; the last time Sister Ni was busy and Brother Guangran did it, his roughness almost made Zhao Zisu vomit.

Thankfully, Brother Guangran only massaged for a little while, or else Zhao Zisu would have had a horrible time.

"Humph, I’ll massage Banxia’s belly." With a face full of disdain, Zhao Guangran didn’t want to massage this suck-up’s belly, with all his pretentiousness and sharp tongue.

Even when doing something wrong, a few words from this kid would turn a major issue into a minor one, and a minor one into none.

Even the always strict older brother would soften his rules when dealing with Zhao Zisu.

Humph, as if I want to massage you. "Brother Ruiwen, can you massage my belly?" Zhao Zisu dared not have big brother massage him.

Though big brother was better than the second, still, the thought of big brother massaging him filled him with anxiety.

What? Zhao Zisu dared to try and take someone from her? Gong Ruini wouldn’t allow it.

If her own big brother got taken away, wouldn’t that mean Zhao Xuran would massage her? That wouldn’t do, though she got along with Zhao Xuran, there were still certain boundaries.

If she were just a child, Gong Ruini wouldn’t mind, but she’s not an average child.

"Brother, my stomach hurts, massage it for me." Although Gong Ruini wasn’t one to act spoiled, she knew the basics.

"Brother, I’m in pain." Gong Ruini looked pitifully at Gong Ruwen, her expression as pitiful as could be.

Though Gong Ruini didn’t openly express disdain for Zhao Xuran, fighting with Zhao Zisu clearly showed her disdain for Zhao Xuran.

Previously despised by his brother, Zhao Guangran suddenly felt invigorated as even the big brother was despised, making him feel less upset.

If not for the fear of reprisal from the big brother, Zhao Guangran might’ve laughed out loud in celebration.

Though unable to laugh out loud, he could silently mark this down to bring up in the future, as the main characters were Gong Ruini and Zhao Xuran, having nothing to do with him, Zhao Guangran.

Zhao Xuran was also stunned, not understanding why he was despised while doing nothing, especially with his second brother enjoying it.

Lol, this kid thinks that just because he’s younger, there’s nothing I can do? Zhao Xuran planned to raise the difficulty of the next test.

Originally, Zhao Xuran considered lowering the difficulty due to Ni Zi’s illness and absence from studies.

But now there’d be no easing up, to ensure they understood that even during the Spring Festival, there’s no excuse to slack off.

Zhao Xuran declared himself petty and ready to retaliate at any moment, scorning people who believe in long-term revenge.

To Zhao Xuran, revenge should be served promptly, avoiding unnecessary delays and costs.

Gong Ruwen couldn’t care less about Zhao Xuran’s inner scheming, springing into action to massage Gong Ruini’s belly the moment she mentioned pain.

"Is it too hard? Should I ease up?" Gong Ruwen had massaged others before, like Zhao Zisu, but that was a resilient kid, and a boy at that, lacking the delicacy of his sister.

Seeing the smooth, chubby belly, Gong Ruwen hesitated to press too hard, fearing to leave a mark.

"No, it feels nice." Under Gong Ruwen’s soothing massage, Gong Ruini felt so comfortable she nearly fell asleep.

No way, must not fall asleep, Gong Ruini quickly woke herself up. If she slept, she’d just become like a pig, eating and sleeping, gaining weight quickly.

Gong Ruini didn’t want people to call her a chubby kid; it would draw too much attention. Despite the villagers’ simplicity, envy might breed complications.

To some, they were just there for re-education, with no reason to eat so well.

Though Gong Ruwen’s massaging was relaxing, as soon as her stomach felt less bloated, Gong Ruini decided to get up, "I’m going for a walk."

Exercise is the best way to digest. Having been sick, Gong Ruini hadn’t exercised for a month, counting the trip back home.

This scared her greatly, for without the illness, she’d likely have packed on the pounds.

By springtime, she’d worry about fitting into her clothes, despite the garments being adjustable, getting too big would leave no solution.

Gong Ruini didn’t want to end up wearing altered clothes by Cai Meina and Zhan Jing that didn’t match her style. She was no middle-aged lady.
