Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

However, at this moment, her stomach let out an undignified growl, reminding her of the fact that she was hungry.

Qianqian, sitting to the side, hurriedly comforted her upon seeing this: "Elder Sister Xingyu, if you feel too hungry, you can eat a little less staple food. Look at this flower roll, it's so small I can eat one in a single bite; you eating one definitely won't be a problem."

Shangguan Xingyu turned her head to look at that small and exquisite flower roll, pondering that Qianqian's words seemed to make some sense. Since that hard-to-swallow mashed potato and carrot could no longer enter her mouth, she might as well try this small flower roll and the cucumber tossed with tofu shreds.

Thus, Shangguan Xingyu reached out and picked up a flower roll, taking a big bite. The sweet and fragrant taste instantly spread in her mouth, making her mood slightly better. In a short while, the flower roll in her hand had only one last bite left.

At this time, Qianqian said to her with a smile: "Elder Sister Xingyu, actually eating one flower roll isn't much different from eating two. Look, it's only this tiny bit big; I'll get you another one and put it in your bowl." Speaking, Qianqian nimbly fetched another small flower roll and lightly tossed it into Shangguan Xingyu's bowl.

Shangguan Xingyu shook her head with a difficult expression, saying firmly: "Qianqian, I really can't eat anymore! I'm trying hard to lose weight!" However, Qianqian refused to give up, urging anxiously: "Elder Sister Xingyu, if you don't even eat staple food, your whole person will become listless, and your complexion will turn sallow and waxy! Do you hope that when you marry my Second Brother then, although your figure will be slender, your mental state will be terrible?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xingyu couldn't help but hesitate; she thought of her yearning for a beautiful wedding, and in the end, she silently sent the second small flower roll in her bowl into her mouth.

Seeing that Shangguan Xingyu had finished the second flower roll, Qianqian was just about to press her advantage and hurriedly toss a third small flower roll into her bowl. But right at this moment, Shangguan Xingyu, with quick eyes and fast hands, suddenly reached out and covered her own bowl mouth, firmly refusing to accept any more food being fed to her. Seeing this scene, Qianqian helplessly pursed her lips and could only give up the thought of continuing to urge her to eat.

Shangguan Xingyan, sitting to the side, had been quietly observing all this; at this moment he spoke to ask Shangguan Xingyu: "Younger Sister, are you full?" Shangguan Xingyu replied somewhat aggrievedly: "Elder Brother, I definitely haven't eaten my fill! It's just that I don't dare eat more because I'm losing weight."

Shangguan Xingyan smiled slightly and comforted: "Younger Sister, actually losing weight doesn't mean you can only eat vegetables. Eating an appropriate amount of meat is also very necessary; after all, if the human body lacks the nutritional components in meat, that won't do either. For instance, like this chicken leg..."

Speaking, Shangguan Xingyan conveniently picked up a fragrant chicken leg, then continued: "As long as you tear off the chicken skin on the outside, you won't have to worry about gaining weight; how about it? Want to try a bite?"

Shangguan Xingyan, wearing a smile, spoke incessantly while gently passing over the chicken leg he had meticulously peeled the skin from. Shangguan Xingyu looked at her elder brother with a half-believing, half-doubting gaze, hesitated for a moment, then still reached out to take the chicken leg.

When she carefully bit the first mouthful, a rich chicken fragrance instantly diffused, rapidly filling her entire mouth. This wonderful taste made Shangguan Xingyu involuntarily take several more bites in succession.

However, just as she was eating with great enjoyment, she suddenly realized something was off. She stopped chewing and looked up at Shangguan Xingyan, who wore a mischievous smile. Shangguan Xingyan seemed to have anticipated this and hurriedly said: "Ai, you've already eaten this much anyway, a few more bites won't make a difference! Eat boldly; eating a couple more mouthfuls won't make you fat!"

Hearing these words, Shangguan Xingyu's hand, which had originally wanted to put down the chicken leg, unconsciously lifted again, continuing to send the delicious chicken meat into her mouth.

Just like that, Shangguan Xingyu enjoyed the food mouthful after mouthful, until she felt her stomach was stuffed full, no longer able to accommodate more food, only then did she cry out as if waking from a dream: "Ah! I'm supposed to be losing weight!!!!" At this moment she was filled with regret, regretting that she hadn't been able to resist the temptation of the food.

Right at this time, Qianqian at the side blinked her lively big eyes and comforted in a childish voice: "Elder Sister Xingyu, you're not fat at all; you really don't need to lose weight! And only when you've eaten your fill will you have enough strength to lose weight!" Hearing Qianqian's innocent words, Shangguan Xingyu couldn't help but be amused, and her mood also relaxed a little.

After the evening meal, night quietly fell; moonlight like water spilled onto the small path outside the palace. Qianqian, in high spirits, pulled Shangguan Xingyu's hand, and the two slowly strolled in this peaceful night.

"Elder Sister Xingyu, us coming out for a walk after dinner to digest, this way we won't easily gain weight when sleeping at night!" Qianqian said with a grin. She turned her head to look at Shangguan Xingyu and continued comforting: "And, Elder Sister, you mustn't be anxious anymore! Look at how good you are now, your complexion ruddy like peach blossoms in full bloom, full of spirit, simply beautiful! You really don't need to lose weight anymore!"

Hearing Qianqian's words, Shangguan Xingyu was thoughtful, hesitated a moment, then carefully asked: "Then... then can I eat normally like usual tomorrow?"

Qianqian nodded without hesitation, answering affirmatively: "Of course you must eat! Health is most important; only when you've eaten your fill will you have the strength to deal with the life ahead!" Obtaining Qianqian's encouragement and support, Shangguan Xingyu, who had still been somewhat anxious and uneasy, instantly felt relieved, a brilliant smile blooming on her face, expressing her willingness to gladly accept her current self, no longer worrying or fretting over this.

Time hurriedly flowed by; in the blink of an eye three days had passed. On a morning three days later, the sky had just turned a pale white; the faint light of dawn gently sprinkled onto the earth through the clouds. Everyone had already risen one after another, swiftly tidied everything up properly, and made preparations to set out.

In fact, as early as yesterday afternoon, they had already carefully packed all luggage and items and placed them properly, only waiting for this morning to finish washing up and then immediately set off on the journey.

The habitually sleep-loving Qianqian also unusually got up early today; perhaps because she had been away from home for a period of time, a feeling of longing for home couldn't help but well up in her heart at this moment. However, when her thoughts drifted to the various hardships and dangers that might be encountered during this trip, her expression instantly turned serious, deeply aware that the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges.
