BXBX NOVEL Chapter 130 - I Want To Grow Up Like You
Yu Dong took the pork belly from the bucket and cleaned it thoroughly by washing it with the spiritual water from their well. Once the pork was clean of the blood that has started to clot, she started cutting the meat into small pieces.
" Sister Yu!" little Lang Ru has recovered from her fever, all thanks to Yu Dong\'s consistent care and because she was drinking the water from the well in the backyard, her health recovered even faster. Now Lang Ru was like every other energetic child around her age, and she was really sticky towards Yu Dong. To the young girl, Yu Dong was her saviour and even though she was half-unconscious due to her fever back then, she still saw Yu Dong take care of the hooligans. Ever since then Lang Ru found Yu Dong really cool and would stick to her whenever she saw Yu Dong alone.
So like every other day, she trotted to help Yu Dong when she saw that the latter was all alone in the kitchen.
" Ruru? You are still awake? Didn\'t I tell your daddy to let you take naps in the morning and evening? Why are you running when you are still sick?" Yu Dong knew that young children needed to sleep as much as they could to grow, and Lang Ru was an even more special case since she has a weak immune system because of the lack of nutrition ever since she was a child. Yu Dong wanted to help Lang Ru recover her health, which was why she told Daddy Lang to let Lang Ru take more and more naps because her spiritual energy worked best when the recipient was asleep while healing one\'s body if not the energy would be dissipated if the person was active.
Lang Ru rushed forward and hugged Yu Dong thigh, " I was waiting for you, Sister Dong. Mai fell asleep while we were playing Hopscotch, I told him not to eat so many meat buns, but he didn\'t listen, saying that my daddy makes the best meat buns and then he only hopped for two rounds and said he was sleepy so he and I took a mid-afternoon nap. He hasn\'t woken up since but I can\'t sleep again or else I won\'t be able to sleep again in the night"
" ah, so that\'s what happened" Yu Dong couldn\'t help but worry a little about Yu Mai gaining a little more extra weight. He has been binge eating a lot, he eats what she and Ye Liu cook in the morning then he eats with the Lang family too whenever he goes to call Lang Ru to play. If this goes on, that boy will soon become a fat meat bun himself " Ruru, you shouldn\'t let your daddy give Mai a lot of meat buns, or else Mai will get fat"
" but Mai looks cute when he eats!" pouted Lang Ru, as she pulled on Yu Dong\'s pants, " my daddy says children should be as chubby as Mai because only then they will as cute as Mai"
Yu Dong suddenly felt a sharp zap like current in her mind when she heard Lang Ru call Yu Mai cute, that boy was indeed cute and she admit it herself so why did she feel an urge to lock Yu Mai up.? Was what with this sudden urge. Yu Dong couldn\'t understand so she could only " you are right about that... But Mai has been eating a lot, if he keeps eating and sleeping alone then I\'m afraid he will become a round mochi in no time"
" but isn\'t that even more cute?" said Lang Ru like it made complete sense.
" eh?" Yu Dong had no idea what to say anymore, looks like Yu Mai was going to be cute for Lang Ru, no matter what size he becomes right? It was a good thing that Lang Ru was such a good friend to Yu Mai but Yu Dong couldn\'t help but feel that there was something fishy going on here. She still had this unreasonable urge to ground Yu Mai in his room, why was that?
" Anyway, that\'s not what I came here for! Sister Yu, I heard you are going to get married, is it true ?" Lang Ru was a simple and honest girl, she heard her parents talk about what happened this evening and only understood the part where they were talking about Yu Dong\'s marriage with Fang Chi other than the matter of forcing the bridegroom was something she couldn\'t understand.
Yu Dong who was chopping the pork belly almost cut her finger when she heard the abrupt question that Lang Ru just raised, fortunately, she stopped before she cut her finger " y...yeah, I am. You are going to get a new uncle, so be kind to him okay ?"
Lang Ru nodded her head and then tilted her head at Yu Dong with a rather admiring look that made Yu Dong even more confused, but when Lang Ru didn\'t say anything, Yu Dong went back to cutting the meat but then -
" that\'s so cool! Sister Yu! You are amazing! I want to grow up and become just like you!" exclaimed Lang Ru loudly.
And this time Yu Dong really cut her finger, drawing blood at once.
