Chapter Six Anxiety

  Breakfast was fried dough sticks, bean paste buns, leek and water-boiled buns, glutinous rice red date porridge. Except for the porridge which was stirred by Luo Feng halfway through, everything else was warmly made by hand.

  The fried dough stick is soft and palatable, the bean paste bun is sweet but not greasy, the steamed bun with filling has a thin skin and crispy bottom, the red date congee is soft, fragrant and delicious. After many years, I finally got to eat my mom's delicious cooking again, and Lo Ye's eyes welled up with tears, so she had to bow her head and drink the congee to hide it.

  Luo Zhenggang furrowed his brow and coughed, and Wen Xin hurriedly pinched her daughter's shoulder: "Ye'er, lift your head and drink slowly with a spoon. Ye'er is a young lady, how can she put her head in the bowl like a child?"

  "Ah!" Luo Ye's emotions had returned to normal, and she put down her bowl, smiling warmly: "Mom, this dish is worthy of a five-star chef, it's unbeatable!"

  Affectionately touching her daughter's face: "Little Yezi has been a bit thin lately, can eat a little more, but only a little more. Girls must have a good figure to be beautiful!"

  This is where Luo Ye's mom is different, other parents would be delighted if their kids eat more, but Luo Ye's mom has been controlling her diet since she was young, afraid that her daughter will become a little fatty.

  "Mom, I'll keep exercising and eating a bit more should be fine, I'll pay attention!" Luo Ye said as she served herself another bowl of porridge, but Wen Xin took it away and scooped out half: "This is enough, red dates contain high sugar content, eating too much will make you fat!"

  Luofeng pitied his sister with a glance and continued to fight with the delicious food, feeling extremely grateful in his heart that he was a boy, so his mother didn't restrict him.

  "Mom, I ran so far this morning, can I have a bit more?" Luo Ye said with his eyes fixed on the remaining half bowl of porridge that his mom had left for him.

  Warmly sizing up her daughter's figure, she hesitated for a moment: "Okay!"

  Watching her own mother use a small spoon to reluctantly scoop up a little porridge, Luo Ye was thoroughly defeated. She just couldn't understand why her mother was so fixated on her figure. What's the difference between her and a wooden board now?

  Luo Ye's head was pressed against the bowl and shook suspiciously. Luo Ye leaned in close to his ear and shouted, "Brother!"

  "Cough... cough..." Rice grains stuck in her throat, Luo Feng's face turned bright red from coughing.

  Luo Zhenggang slammed down his bowl: "Nonsense!"

  Luofeng was startled and suddenly coughed up the rice grain - Alright!

  "Useless!" Luo Zheng was glaring at his son with a "hating iron for not becoming steel" expression: "Your sister is right, I can still eat you, can't I?"

  Lu Ye unexpectedly glanced at Lu Zheng, and couldn't believe he would say such a thing. As long as he was willing to listen to advice, everything in the future would be full of hope. Thinking this way, his resentment towards his father faded somewhat.

  "Dad, after school today, I want to go to your office and take a look at your work environment, is that okay?" Luo Ye asked with a big dose of courage, for now, she really had no other choice.

  Warmly concerned, Luo Zhenggang glanced at Luo Ye and secretly pinched him: "Ye'er, what's so interesting about Dad's office? After school, go shopping with your brother and Mom?"

  Lu Ye looked at Lu Zhengang strongly: "Dad..."

  "Go shopping with your mom, my office is no place for kids!"

  Although she had expected this outcome, Luo Ye was still very disappointed. It seemed that all her words yesterday had been in vain.

  ……

  After class, Shangguan Yingnuo poked Luo Ye who was daydreaming on the book: "Luo Luo, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to be brave? Why are you so down today?"

  Lu Ye's smile: "I've already started working hard for bravery, ran for 45 minutes this morning, so I'm not feeling well now and need to rest!"

  "Okay, take care of yourself then. But to be honest, I'm still more used to seeing you like this. Your appearance yesterday made me feel so strange, it was as if you were a different person!"

  Luoye smiled wryly, now in this state, one part of the reason was that she couldn't see the person she wanted to see and worried about it, another part of the reason was that her body was really too weak, now her hands and feet were soft and she didn't have any strength.

  Ying Nuoduo: "You're in this state... The mid-term exam is coming up next cycle, you don't want to be at the bottom of the class, do you?"

  Lu Ye scratched her head in a headache, she was certain that the other party was not sure what to do, and her heart could not calm down. She couldn't even focus on reading books, what to do?

  Luoye spent every day in a daze, but after she had really confirmed her rebirth and seen her family again, experiencing the long-lost warmth of kinship, she couldn't calm down. No way! She must think of a way to see him once.

  Moreover, she felt that she should launch a surprise attack on the other party in order to truly understand their situation. Otherwise, with the other party's cunning and cleverness, it was possible that they would be able to deceive her.

  "Cough!...... Cough!......" In the third class of the afternoon, Luo Ye couldn't stop "coughing".

  Ying Nu looked at Luo Ye's red face and thick neck with concern: "Luo Luo, what's wrong? Why don't we go to the infirmary now?"

  Teacher Yang, who was teaching the class, walked over with a worried face: "Luoye, are you catching a cold?" Luoye's language skills were excellent, and her homeroom teacher, Teacher Yang, had always had a good impression of her.

  "Teacher... cough... I'm not feeling too well... cough... Can I take a leave of absence and go home to rest for a bit?" Luo Ye thought that her current appearance was absolutely comparable to Lin Daiyu's.

  "Okay, but can you get back by yourself? Do you want me to send a classmate with you?"

  Teacher Jian is looking for a suitable candidate, Luo Ye hurriedly waved his hand: "Teacher, no need... cough... I can do it myself, I'm about to enter my third year of high school, I don't want to delay everyone's studies. Go home and rest for a while, I will study hard too!"

  Ying Nuo stood up: "Teacher Yang, I'll go see Luo Luo off. I'm not at ease with her like this. It's a good opportunity to get familiar with her home address, so it will be easier to find next time!"

  "No need, no need, I'll just take a taxi and be home, it's too much trouble to send me back and forth!" Luo Ye suddenly felt like she was overacting, why did she feel a bit guilty?
