After the man finished speaking, Harry was the first to respond, saying, “I got held up with something today. Why did you come at this time? Is there something you need?”
“Oh, it’s nothing,” the man replied.
While the man was talking to Harry, his gaze remained fixed
on the chubby little child.
He noticed that ever since he sat down, the little chubby
child had been guarding his bowl nervously, as if afraid that he would take it
away.
Just then, Ram asked him, “Would you like to have a meal
here? I’ll have Harry serve you a bowl.”
Initially, Raphael hadn’t intended to mooch off their meal,
but looking at the nervous expression on the chubby child’s face, he replied
slowly, “Sure, serve me a bowl.”
Chubby child: !
The chubby child’s face turned into a pouting bun, displeased.
This was a meal prepared by Brother Harry for the Ningning,
and this bad uncle wanted to snatch the food from Ningning.
Huo Lin understood the child’s mentality the best, so before
the child could throw a tantrum, he lowered his voice and appeased his emotions,
saying, “Be a good child. Harry made a lot of food. We won’t let Ningning go
hungry.”
With the reassurance from his brother, the chubby child
didn’t throw a tantrum.
Harry’s cooking skills were quite impressive.
After finishing a bowl of rice, the chubby child patted his
stomach and handed the bowl back, speaking politely in his childish voice,
“Please give Ningning another bowl.”
The bowl that Harry used for the child was a cute
cartoon-shaped bowl, which would be sufficient for a normal young child to eat
from.
However, for the chubby child who had been eating from large
bowls since childhood, this bowl was too small.
Zhan Xi’s mindset of raising children, if applied to ancient
Earth, would be similar to the thinking of ancient Earth’s grandmothers: “Feed
the child more. The child can be chubby, but must never be thin, as it would
affect their resistance.“
Adhering to the principle of feeding the young child more,
Zhan Xi also used a large bowl to feed the chubby child.
Furthermore, due to the barrenness of the barren planet and
the preciousness of food, the child had also learned not to waste food.
Although the food he ate was not very refined, the portion was definitely
plentiful!
In less than a minute, the second bowl of rice was placed in
front of the little child.
The little child clutched the spoon and continued eating,
circling around the rice bowl brought by his older brother.
Raphael sat across from him and recorded a short video,
saying, “Watching this chubby child eat is really appetizing.”
The chubby child across from him: “?”
The chubby child huffed and took another big bite of rice,
his round eyes resembling black grapes filled with a vengeful spirit.
He made up his mind that today he would eat two more bowls of
rice and then crush the bad uncle to death!
The little child’s short-term goal: Crush the bad uncle!
Embracing this goal, the little child finished the second
bowl of rice and handed the bowl over, saying, “Ningning wants another bowl!”
Harry: “...”
Harry was dumbfounded.
He thought that the young child eating two bowls of rice was
already incredible.
Why was he starting on a third bowl now?
He looked somewhat uncertainly at Huo Lin, whose expression remained
calm. “Give him another bowl; he’s not full yet.”
Huo Lin also noticed that the bowl the little child was using
was much smaller than usual. With this small bowl of rice, it was probably
equivalent to what the little child used to eat in his second bowl.
Huo Lin’s words left Harry completely bewildered.
Raphael was also somewhat astonished.
He carefully examined this chubby little child and never
expected that his plumpness didn’t come from thin air; it was all the result of
eating mouthfuls of rice.
Well, it wasn’t easy.
“Ahem, Ningning.”
Looking at the bowl handed over by the little child, Harry
felt a bit embarrassed. “I thought you were full...”
The little child lifted his shirt, letting Harry touch his
belly. “My tummy isn’t round and plump yet!”
Ningning could eat a bit more!
Harry’s face turned even more embarrassed. He hesitated for a
moment and blurted out the truth, “Ningning, there’s no more food in the pot.”
He thought he could estimate the little child’s appetite, but
he never expected to be wrong.
Upon hearing Harry’s words, the chubby-faced little child
froze in an instant.
He looked at his empty bowl and spoke in a low voice,
“Ningning still wants another bowl.”
If he ate another bowl, Ningning would be full.
Harry looked at the dejected little child with a chubby face
and then at his own empty bowl. There was no way he could make up for it unless
he went back to the kitchen and cooked again.
But if he did that, the process of making another bowl would
take even more time.
“Ningning, shall I go to the kitchen and make something for
you again?” Harry didn’t mind staying up a little later and intended to make
something again.
Before he could leave, the little child grabbed him. “No
need.”
Making food again would be too much trouble.
The little child didn’t want Harry to cook again. He touched
his belly and sniffed, saying, “Ningning is on a diet today.”
Sitting across from the little child, Raphael, who had
snatched a bowl of rice from him, couldn’t help but snort.
He couldn’t take it anymore.
He was going to die laughing.
The chubby little child who had eaten three bowls of rice was
talking about going on a diet.
Raphael had never seen such a hilarious child before.
He took out his star device and took another picture of the
little child. He planned to share this hilarious incident with An Nuo when he
returned.
The child, who was already in a bad mood, immediately glared
angrily at Raphael when he heard the laughter. He said, “You’re bad!”
He not only stole Ningning’s food but also laughed at him!
Just a moment ago, the child, who was planning to lose
weight, decided in a split second to give up. He asked his older brother to
pour him a large bowl of water and started drinking!
The physical education teacher said that Ningning would gain
weight by drinking water.
Now, the child, who really wanted to gain some weight, walked
confidently towards Raphael after drinking water until his belly became round.
He gave Raphael a fierce look and then plopped down on Raphael’s feet.
“Ningning wants to squish you to death!”
Raphael: “...”
Raphael took a sharp breath with a pained expression, and
said, “Ah, the chubby child is heavy again. You’re going to break Uncle’s feet.
Ouch, it hurts.”
When the child heard Raphael’s cry of pain, he proudly
wiggled his chubby buttocks.
While the child was still trying to “squish” the poor uncle,
both Huo Lin and Harry beside them realized that Raphael was just acting.
Huo Lin frowned and wanted to pick up his own little child.
But before he could lift up the chubby child, Raphael
revealed his true intentions and said, “Chubby child, you better hold on to
Uncle’s legs properly.”
Ningning: “Huh?”
Before Ningning could finish saying “huh,” Raphael had
already lifted his foot and lifted the chubby child up.
Seeing the change in the chubby child’s expression, Raphael
smiled and planned to pick him up, pinch his chubby cheeks, and comfort him.
After all, the Imperial Prince was still here, and if he made
the chubby child cry for real, the little prince was likely to remember it as a
grudge against him.
He heard that the Imperial Prince, Caesar, had the same
temperament as his father.
And his father, Ludwig, didn’t have a good temperament.
Raphael’s idea was not bad, but before he could start coaxing
the little child, the child couldn’t stand it and cried out, “Waah!”
As soon as the child cried, Huo Lin’s face immediately
changed, and he snatched the child back.
“Uncle, what are you trying to do?”
“I’m not doing anything, just casually dropping by.”
Raphael said, looking at the teary-eyed child, and finally
felt a bit guilty, “Little chubby, stop crying. I’ll give you a gift.”
The child cried and hugged his brother’s neck, burying his
face in his brother’s shoulder.
Raphael reached into his pocket, trying to find a little
trinket to give to the crying child. Although he was frugal, he had a brain.
Giving a small gift seemed to coax the little child, but in reality, it was to
appease Caesar.
Consider this gift as a diplomatic relation between the two
countries.
Raphael searched for a while but couldn’t find any food. He
only found a silk handkerchief. The handkerchief was often carried by An Nuo,
and it had absorbed An Nuo’s scent. He would occasionally bring it along when
going out.
The little child lying in his brother’s arms suddenly
twitched his nose.
The next moment.
The little child turned his head and stared at the silk
handkerchief in Raphael’s hand.
Raphael: “...”
Raphael couldn’t possibly give away something belonging to An
Nuo.
He hesitated for a moment, about to put the handkerchief into
his pocket, but the little child suddenly reached out his hand towards him,
saying, “Ningning wants it!”
Raphael: “Ahem.”
Raphael: “Let’s exchange for another gift.”
Raphael continued searching his pocket, but besides the
handkerchief, he didn’t have anything else.
The little child was still looking at him.
The gaze of the little child in this instance was clearly
focused on the silk handkerchief.
Raphael had mentioned giving a gift, and as a ruler of a
nation, he couldn’t go back on his word.
“Uncle, Ningning wants the handkerchief.”
Huo Lin noticed that the little child liked the silk
handkerchief and took the initiative to speak up. Once he spoke up, Raphael
couldn’t refuse anymore, as rejecting the request would probably lead to a
fallout with the young prince.
He wasn’t afraid of the young prince getting angry; he was
afraid that if the young prince did get angry and his true identity was exposed
one day, the other would spread the story of him bullying the young child.
“Alright.”
Raphael thought to himself that it’s nothing much, considering
that An Nuo wouldn’t use this silk handkerchief anymore since he had already
taken it out.
If anything, he could use this to curry favor from the chubby
kid.
After giving the silk handkerchief to the chubby child,
Raphael felt like he had been taken advantage of and didn’t want to stay any
longer. He said a word to Ram and left.
As soon as Raphael left, the little child held the silk
handkerchief tightly. His eyes, which were teary a moment ago, were now
shining.
“Brother, it smells good.”
The scent on the silk handkerchief made the little child feel
refreshed.
Huo Lin sniffed it but didn’t smell anything.
He looked at the time; it was getting late. “Ningning, it’s
time for us to rest.”
The little child continued playing with the silk handkerchief
and didn’t pay much attention to his brother’s words.
Night fell.
Raphael returned to the magnificent palace, and An Nuo was
still awake. Nowadays, An Nuo could sleep for several days in a row, but
sometimes he would suffer from insomnia for days.
His health was really deteriorating.
Raphael forcibly tried to ignore the worsening reality of An
Nuo’s condition. He held An Nuo tightly and showed him the photos and videos he
took.
As they continued looking, Raphael suddenly paused at a
particular photo.
He seemed somewhat surprised himself. “An Nuo, this chubby
little guy’s eyebrows and eyes, if he were to lose weight... he seems to
resemble you a bit.”
The royal family produced beauties, and every child of them
was a rare beauty that was hard to come by in the world.
Such beauties were not something anyone could imitate.
But Raphael, looking at the photo of the chubby little guy,
could indeed see some resemblance.
An Nuo looked at the chubby little child and inexplicably
grew fond of him. He lightly touched the photo with his fair and slender
fingers, a faint smile appearing on his lips. “He’s indeed a very cute child.
Raphael, can I meet him?”
Raphael frowned, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Although Raphael found the little child adorable, it would be
somewhat difficult to arrange a meeting between the child and An Nuo. The child
had been living outside and hadn’t been disinfected thoroughly. Raphael was
hesitant to let An Nuo come into contact with him.
But if they disinfected him, that chubby kid would definitely
get angry and would want to crush Raphael again.
