Chapter 275 - Burning fats

Lu family residence…

As soon as Shi Enxi arrived at home, she directly went to where her son was; at the music room. There, he was being taught piano skills by a music teacher.

When the music teacher saw her enter, he paused from talking to Little Snow just so he could greet her, "Welcome back, madam."

"I'm afraid I have to put your lessons on-hold, teacher."

"Mama!" Little Snow turned to her with a wide grin. He jumped off from the stool he was sitting on just so he could run towards his mother and give her a hug. "Did mama bring food?"

"I don't think it's time for you to eat yet." She lightly tapped his lips when she saw him pout. "Although instead of eating here, why don't we eat outside today?"

The spark in the boy's eyes returned when he heard her say that. "Really?! We're going out?!"

"Yes. Now, why don't you go to your room and change your clothes?" She turned toward his nanny, eyeing her to help him.

"Yay! We're going to eat outside!" He released her leg and hurriedly run out of the room. He was followed by his nanny behind.

Seeing her son react that way made her thought if she was really being too tight on him. Maybe Fan Xiao Yao was really right. She should go easy on him especially when he is still young. Shi Enxi only cared for her son's well-being. She only became strict with him after he had his fever. Although now that she has thought of it, even her own parents never became that strict to her back then. Maybe she was just overthinking too much?

Shi Enxi went to see the butler to discuss her son's change in his daily schedules while waiting for him downstairs. She didn't have to make his son too perfect. She was only pressuring him with what she wanted at such a young age. She really wasn't the ideal mother and she could only feel guilty for it.

"Mama, let's go!"

Shi Enxi turned and saw her son excitedly going down the stairs. He was wearing a red shirt with a big yellow star print on the middle and jumpers. Now that she thought of it, her adorable chubby son has lost weight so much to the point where he should be the same figure as Little Jade. She couldn't help but chuckle when she thought about how Little Jade and Fan Xiao Yao's reaction would be if they saw this change.

"Let's go." She held his hand and began walking out of the place.

"Is dada coming with mama and Xuexue?" The boy asked while swinging their hands happily.

"Your father is still at work so it will only be the two of us… plus another two."

"Plus another two?" He looked at his fingers and counted. "That means we're going to be four!" He exclaimed, showing her his four fingers.

Shi Enxi chuckled, "Yes, four."

The car's door was opened for them by the driver and Little Snow entered first who was later followed by his mother.

"One… two… three…" The boy counted slowly as he pointed at himself then to his mother and the driver. "We're only three, mama."

She smiled and gently patted his head, "We'll be meeting the other two people, sweetheart."

"Ooooh! Who are we meeting? Does Xuexue know them?"

"How about you wait until we get there, hm?"

Little Snow pouted, "Why can't mama tell me?"

"Hm, I wonder why." She smiled at him, giving the tip of his nose a light tap.

He puffed out his cheeks as he looked at his mother. He turned away and crossed his arms. "No fair."

…

Upon arriving at the museum, as they went out of the car, they began heading towards the ticket booth only to see Fan Xiao Yao and her son waiting near the booth,

"GEGEEEE!!!" Little Snow squealed happily the moment his eyes caught the figure of the other boy.

Everyone began looking his way, including the people they were going to meet.

"Way to go, son. That's how you steal everyone's attention." Shi Enxi mumbled to herself as she watched her son rush towards Little Jade.

"Didi- umph!"

Little Snow pounced on him, making Little Jade lose his balance. It was thanks to Fan Xiao Yao's quick support that helped the two stay on their ground.

The other boy was blinking a lot in confusion when he saw Little Snow. He was surprised that he wasn't able to react to his greeting.

"Oh my, Xiao Xue, you changed so much!" Fan Xiao Yao commented, surprised as well. 

Little Snow leaned back from the hug and raised his head to look at her with a grin, "Yes! I'm stronger now, mama Yaoyao!"

"It seems like it." She turned her gaze to Shi Enxi and crossed her arms, "You've been too strict in his diet huh?"

"Not that strict, he was only allowed to eat at the proper time, no in-between. Less meat and more vegetables." Shi Enxi replied in her defense. "Also he's been burning fats as well."

"Seriously, even to your son, you have no forgiveness in setting a strict schedule." She shook her head, disapproving of her ways.

"It's okay, mama Yaoyao, Xuexue's become strong thanks to mama."

"See?" Shi Enxi smirked, glad that her son was taking her son.

"But mama Yaoyao is right, mama should give Xuexue more free time."

"Aren't I'm doing that now?" She muttered with a pout.

Little Jade who was quiet the whole time was staring at the other boy for a while as if he was processing the change that happened to him. 

Little Snow noticed his stare which made him turn his head back to him. With a wide grin, he happily exclaimed, "Xuexue is now amazing like Spiderman!"

The other boy reached out and began patting his cheeks which still has chubbiness on them before he lifted his head and looked at Shi Enxi, "Mama! How can didi become so unhealthy?!! Didi is no more healthy!!"
