If you gain weight, you can just lose it back, right?
Su Qing smiled upon hearing this and immediately decided to take her to try some local snacks.
Surprisingly, it didn't affect the other party.
When he turned around, he saw the girl with her face slightly turned to the side, her eyes filled with a deep shyness like caramel melting.
"I didn't spend time with you for nothing, could you... say it again?"
"say what?"
"I mean... I'll compliment my kimono again, I specifically chose it to match the necklace you gave me."
Mahiru leaned slightly forward, and a flash of silvery-white light disappeared from her neck.
The fireworks had not yet lit up the sky, and the night was still a void.
Only a small half-moon slanted in the southwest sky, casting a faint pink shadow on the girl's eyelashes, like a flower bud about to bloom.
Su Qing gazed quietly at Zhen Zhou, her heart fluttering with joy.
After a long while, under the girl's embarrassed gaze, Su Qing gently placed her hand on the top of her head and whispered:
"it is good."

Chapter 365 Liking and Loving Yourself
?
Grandma, I can't eat anymore!
At the dinner table, only Yui and Zhixia, the granddaughters, remained.
Yui and Yui went out to buy fireworks and firecrackers. The three of them were supposed to go together, but Yui stayed behind to keep her grandmother company.
but……
If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have gone with them!
Yui looked at her chubby belly with a sorrowful expression, but she was still chewing on the food her grandmother had given her.
It's hard to say what the old man is like, but his feeding skills are truly top-notch.
If you let a skinny cat or dog live with you for a few months, it will turn into a pig in return!
Darwin was moved to tears upon reading it.
The hungry shark knelt down and begged to be fed.
"You really can't eat anymore?" Zhixia asked suspiciously, but still handed over a piece of sweet cake. "Want another one?"
"Hmm, shall I have another one?" Yui said uncertainly, then put the sweet cake in her mouth and chewed...
Chew, chew, chew~~
Oh my god, I have to say, the sweet cake is really delicious.
The golden, crispy crust and the sweet but not cloying taste are so addictive!
I'll ask Grandma how she made it later, and then I'll let Xiaoxue, Mahiru-chan, and Xiaoqing try it~
"Hmm~"
Zhixia smiled with relief, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes crooked like crescent moons.
"Yui has grown up so much..."
She let out a long sigh, a sound of deep emotion. Just as Yui was about to respond, Orika suddenly changed her tone, smiling sweetly as she asked:
"Have you found a boyfriend at school?"
“Cough!! Cough cough!!”
Grandma's question caused Yui to choke and cough violently.
After a moment, before she could finish speaking with a flushed face, Zhixia added insult to injury with a disappointed look:
"Fine, do you think I'm that stupid? I can't even find a boyfriend if I choke on a sweet cake."
"No, no! Grandma, why are you making me sound so pitiful!"
Yui puffed out her cheeks.
The culprit doesn't even consider why she choked in the first place!
"Hmm, isn't that right?" Zhixia tilted her head, her tone odd. "So, someone likes you?"
"But, maybe so? How would I know about other people's affairs..."
"So, do you have someone you like?"
Yui was startled. Why did the topic suddenly change like this?
The white snow on my neck was instantly replaced by cherry blossom pink, and my heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
The girl still tried to remain calm, but when she looked up, she only saw Zhixia's ambiguous smile.
"You should know about your own affairs by now, shouldn't you?"
"There should be... right?" Yui's answer was vague, as if she hadn't yet swallowed the sweet cake in her mouth.
Zhixia didn't say anything, but just stared at Yui quietly, as if waiting for something.
The old man's calm, still gaze inexplicably made her feel uneasy.
The room was silent. Just as Yui was about to say something, a sudden burst of firelight illuminated the night as if it were daytime.
Amidst the surging noise, Yui lowered her eyes, her voice soft as if she were telling a young girl's secrets...
"But he already has a girlfriend, who is also a friend of mine, and a very outstanding and good person."
Everyone here is a very nice person...
……
"Did I... meet him too late...?"
The sounds of firecrackers and fireworks stopped sometime later, and the girl wasn't sure if her grandmother had heard her words.
She spoke very quickly on purpose, so that perhaps her grandmother only noticed her lips moving slightly.
—Just like a mole.
—What is a mole?
Moles are animals that cannot stand the light; they will die if exposed to the sun for a few hours, so they cannot leave the darkness.
So it can't go anywhere but darkness, and it doesn't know where to go.
Just like those little secrets that are hard to tell others, besides being deeply hidden in one's heart, even if one wants to confide in someone, one can only seek solace in a human-computer interface like Doubao.
And so, Yui regretted it as soon as she finished speaking.
She began to silently pray that her grandmother hadn't heard her.
These words should all be blown away with the New Year's firecrackers!
Zhixia remained silent. The old-fashioned lamp in the living room cast a dim, long shadow on the wall, like a sword hanging overhead.
"Are you full?" she asked.
"Hmm... I'll tidy up first." Yui nodded and got up to clear the table.
"What are you collecting? Come with me outside and take a look."
Zhixia put her hands behind her back, slowly got up and walked towards the courtyard.
The old man has hearing problems; perhaps he really didn't hear it.
"Oh, but..."
"But what 'but'? Weren't you staying here with me? Come here."
Zhixia's urging voice was flat, with a hint of gentleness.
Yui glanced up and down at the bowls and chopsticks that hadn't been put away yet, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly followed.
……
"Ugh... It's so cold, so cold."
As soon as Yui stepped outside, the damp, cold air seemed to seep into her very bones.
"Here, wear this. Don't think it's unfashionable."
Zhixia casually grabbed one of her own coats and tossed it to Yui, while she herself was also wearing a coat.
"Thank you grandma."
Yui gave Orika a sweet smile.
Then, she curiously examined the coat that had been handed to her; it was quite nice.
But it's not surprising. My grandmother was a renowned beauty in the surrounding area when she was young, so it's normal for her to have good taste.
Today is New Year's Day, and the sound of firecrackers echoed around them, with faint white smoke drifting in the air.
"In this cold weather, I wonder if the fish will freeze to death?"
Yui recalled catching fish in the river with her grandmother when she was a child, and said it for no apparent reason.
“Fish are cold-blooded animals, and besides, fish aren’t stupid,” Zhixia said casually, glancing at her granddaughter first.
Yui fell silent, feeling offended. There was heating inside but not outside; she had forgotten because she had rushed out.
It's also possible that they overestimated their ability to withstand the cold.
"Want to go fishing with me?" Zhixia suddenly asked.
"Now?" Yui was taken aback.
"How could that be? When the temperature is low, the fish all go to the deep water. The ones you can catch now are all stupid fish; eating them will make you stupid!"
Zhixia said irritably.
This family seems to never age; Yui's mother is, and so is her mother's mother.
Stop scolding! Stop scolding! If you keep scolding the child, he'll really become stupid!
Yui pouted, remained silent, and gazed at the distant night sky.
The nights of my childhood were always filled with stars, but at some inconspicuous moment, I could no longer see many stars.
Even in the countryside and familiar small towns, the stars are not as numerous or as bright as they used to be.
"I remember when I took Yui fishing, she always cried and whined..."
Zhixia seemed to have thought of something happy, and she couldn't help but smile, revealing a set of white teeth.
"That's because you lied to me and said you were going to eat me up. Besides, what does little Yui have to do with big Yui?"
"Okay, okay." Zhixia thought for a moment, then belatedly realized that she had been a bit careless, and added.
"However, the fish you see in winter are not necessarily stupid fish; they may be trying to come up for air."
The oxygen content in deeper waters is relatively low.
Shocking! My grandma is a top student!
Yui exclaimed in realization, "Oh, I see!" and then innocently said, "So we can catch fish then?"
“We can’t catch it.” Zhixia shook her head. “How long can you take a breath?”
By the time people realized what was happening, the fish had already dived back into deeper water.
Unless the fish keeps breathing in the same spot, which is unrealistic.
