Chapter 296 Gloom.

Chapter 296 Gloom.　　By the time Yu Dong finished her breakfast, her husbands were only halfway through. It was a habit that she picked up from the apocalypse world, she ate really fast it was in her nature and even though she was now living in a peaceful world, her old habits were yet to die.  She took a sip of her tea and swirled it around in her mouth to get rid of the lingering taste of the meat buns inside her mouth. Then she placed the teacup back on the table and looked at Yu Mai who for a rare change eating with them today. She raised her brow and looked at her little brother before smiling teasingly, " Mai, did your uncle Zhu didn't cook a good meal for you today?"

This brat has learned to sneak out of the house to have breakfast with Lang's family whenever the dishes cooked by his brothers in law weren't up to his liking. Of course, he would hop right back in case Zhu Qian cooked a simple meal like millet porridge while Shen Li cooked meat—— because of his smartness, Yu Mai was now as round as a bun, if one was to push him, Yu Mai won't fall down, he will simply start rolling like a ball. Yu Dong has lost count of how many times she asked Yu Mai to stop hopping around for meat and eat what was given to him but the boy didn't listen to her in the slightest and now look at the result—— he was as chubby as a rolling ball.

Yu Mai who was eating a meat bun that he was holding with both hands looking really cute, stopped and looked at his sister who was cupping her cheek and looking at him with a questioning gaze. He swallowed and looked at his brothers in law who all looked away from his pleading gaze collectively and tried their best to stop their trembling shoulders, there was nothing they could say in this situation—— who asked Yu Mai to act like a carnivorous cub only eating meat and nothing else.

Little Yu Mai has now gotten used to being abandoned by his brothers in law and gulped the bite that he has just taken after chewing it properly. " Uncle Zhu, cooked rice porridge and cucumber salad."

Neither of these dishes was to Yu Mai's liking, he didn't know why uncle Zhu has to cook porridge, and the meat was so good. It was delicious and chewy, yet his Uncle Zhu has to cook boiled rice with extra water and cold cucumber. That was rabbit food! He didn't like rabbit food!

Fortunately, his brother in law cooked meat buns or else he would have cried. 

Yu Dong shook her head, maybe she needed to set a meal plan with Lang. If this goes on then Yu Mai will completely give up on vegetables—— it wasn't that he was doing something wrong compared to the children in the modern world who despite being in the apocalypse asked their parents for burgers and whatnot, Yu  Mai was really a good boy eating home-cooked meals every day without asking for any extra snack but it was still important to have a balanced diet or else he will get sick.

However, she didn't say anything at the moment knowing that her brother will not listen to her if she tried to preach to him. " Mai, after you are done eating, go and call your sister Ru, I need you two to help me with something."

Yu Mai nodded his head after listening to his sister. He quickly finished his meat bun and hopped down his chair before he rushed to the backyard and rushed to bring Lang Ru.

" Sister Ruru!" shouted Yu Mai as he came to a stop in front of the Lang family's room and knocked on the door.

Lang Ru who was preparing to leave with her daddy for her grandparents' place immediately jumped down from the bed and opened the door. Lang and Zhu Qian noticed her eagerness and shook their heads, their daughter has gotten really close to Yu Mai and they weren't surprised that she was in such a hurry to open the door.

" Mai!" Lang Ru was just as happy to see Yu Mai, today they were in a hurry to leave, so her daddy only cooked a few light dishes to eat and Yu Mai who wasn't a fan of light dishes without any meat obviously didn't eat with them. After eating with Yu Mai for so long, she has gotten used to his presence, and today without him she naturally didn't like eating her breakfast alone with her parents. When Yu Mai was with he will continuously jabber about this and that, but today her meal was boring and silent.

Yu Mai didn't know that he was missed even though he only missed one meal with Lang Ru, he just thought that his sister Ru was excited to see him and laughed. " sister Ru, my elder sister has asked you to come and see her. She has something to say to you."

" Of course——"

"Mai, can you tell sister Dong that Ruru can't come with you? We need to go to her grandma's house to pick up her younger brother, today she can't play with you," said Zhu Qian as he strode to the entrance and stopped Lang Ru from agreeing, he stared at his daughter with raised brows as if silently asking what she was doing.

Lang Ru who was happy just a second ago immediately felt crushed because of her daddy. That's right, she couldn't play with Mai today because she needed to pick her younger brother, all of a sudden Lang Ru started to feel like she was really unlucky, Yu Mai hardly ever came to call her to play with him. It was always her who rushed to his house and asked him to come to play with her but today when he came to call her, she actually had to say no to him!! Ahhhh!!! Why was she so unlucky!!

Yu Mai on the other hand did not react, he nodded his head as if he understood Lang Ru's predicament. " Okay, then I will tell my sister." Then he waved his hand and left.

Once he was gone, Zhu Qian turned his head towards his daughter and opened his mouth to scold her but then he saw Lang Ru crouching on all four with gloom settling on her shoulders.

Zhu Qian: "….." Well, then.
