Time passed quickly when he was fully immersed in his studies.
When it was almost noon, Li Wan 'er went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Luo Yuan originally wanted to go back and cook something for himself, but he couldn't resist Pei Qi and her mother's kind invitation and agreed to stay for dinner.
Pei Qi's mother was a full-time housewife, so her cooking skills were excellent. Soon, a table of healthy and delicious lunch was ready.
The three of them sat around the dining table. Just as they were about to start eating, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly sounded.
"Honey, Little Ya, I'm back.”
When Pei Qi and her mother heard the voice, their expressions changed.
Luo Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged fat man with a briefcase and a beer belly striding into the restaurant.
When Song Youcai saw Luo Yuan, he suddenly stopped and looked at his daughter sitting next to Luo Yuan. He seemed to understand something and his gaze immediately became sharp.
"Why are you back so early?"
Li Wan 'er asked in surprise.
"I have nothing to do at the company today, so I came back.”
Song Youcai replied casually, his sharp eyes staring at Luo Yuan with obvious hostility.
"Luo Yuan, this is my dad!"
Pei Qi introduced in a low voice.
Luo Yuan nodded and politely stood up to greet him."Hello, Uncle!"
The corners of Song Youcai's mouth twitched a few times. He looked at his wife and daughter, then remembered that after dinner last night, the mother and daughter seemed to have been secretly discussing something. He immediately understood everything.
He stared at his wife with a questioning and serious gaze.
Li Wan 'er blinked helplessly and said,""Go wash your hands first!"
Song Youcai put down his briefcase and went to wash his hands. He returned to his wife's side with a cold face and sat down.
Luo Yuan also noticed that the atmosphere was not right. Fortunately, his heart was strong enough. Facing Song You Cai's aggressive gaze, he was still calm.
"What are you doing!"
Li Wan 'er elbowed her husband's arm.
"Um…Dad, this is my classmate, Luo Yuan. He came to my house today to tutor me.”
Pei Qi explained.
"Tutoring?"
Song Youcai looked at his daughter in confusion and said,"If you want to study, why don't you find a professional tutor? Also, why didn't you mention this to me?”
"If I told you, would you let him come?”
Pei Qi muttered softly.
"Of course not…"
Song Youcai subconsciously replied, then said with some anger,"But you can't hide it from me. Little Ya, tell me honestly what you want to do. You suddenly want to lose weight, and now you're bringing a boy home behind my back.”
Pei Qi lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look at her father.
"Um…why don't I go back?”
Luo Yuan stood up awkwardly.
"Sit down, sit down."
Li Wan 'er immediately raised her left hand and pressed down.
Luo Yuan hesitated, not knowing what to do.
"Pa!"
The chopsticks made a crisp sound when they hit the bowl. Li Wan 'er frowned and glared at her husband."Song Youcai, what are you shouting about? I was the one who suggested Lil Tang to come to our house. Is there a problem?”
Song Youcai was stunned for a moment before he said with a bitter face,"Honey, aren't we on the same side?”
"Who's on your side? Back then, you were afraid that those boys would fall for your daughter, so you bought all kinds of delicious food for her and fed her to fatten up. I was also against it, okay?”
Li Wan 'er said with a straight face.
When Pei Qi and Luo Yuan heard this, they were dumbfounded.
The amount of information was a little too much.
"Honey…"
Song Youcai tried his best to signal with his eyes.
Li Wan 'er also realized that she shouldn't have said anything, but she couldn't take back the water that had been spilled.
She clenched her right fist and cleared her throat.
"Cough cough…Alright, let's eat first. Otherwise, the dishes will get cold.”
"Wait!"
Pei Qi suddenly said.
The husband and wife trembled. The air conditioner was clearly on in the room, but sweat had already seeped out of Song Youcai's forehead.
Luo Yuan quietly sat there and watched the show. He felt that this show was a little interesting.
"Mom, is what you said true?”
Pei Qi confirmed with a blank expression and glared at her father angrily."Dad really made me fat on purpose?”
This time, it was Song Youcai's turn to avoid his guilty gaze. He did not dare to face his daughter's questioning gaze at all.
Li Wan 'er saw that she couldn't hide the matter anymore, so she simply confessed everything.
"When you were in middle school, didn't you receive a love letter from a boy? Do you still remember? At that time, your father accidentally saw it and came up with such a bad idea.”
"Dad-"
Pei Qi roared. She glared at her father with tears in her eyes, as if she could cry at any moment.
She really felt a little wronged and sad.
Although she had been very happy these past few years, she would occasionally hear some people talking about her behind her back. She had always been optimistic and cheerful. She told herself that it was okay to be a little fat, as long as she was happy.
But now that he suddenly heard that his father had single-handedly manipulated him to become fat, of course he would feel bad.
"Daughter, baby, don't cry, don't cry. I-I'm doing this for your own good!”
Song Youcai immediately panicked and explained earnestly,"You were still young at that time, and you inherited your mother's genes. You were too beautiful. I was afraid that you would be deceived by those stinky brats!”
As he said this, he intentionally glared at Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan smiled innocently.
To be honest, he did think that Pei Qi was quite cute, but he did not have any thoughts about dating at the moment. He treated her more like a good friend or a younger sister.
"What do you mean by doing it for my own good? You did it for yourself!”
Pei Qi retorted with a sobbing tone.
"Baby, I'm really doing this for your own good!”
Song Youcai felt a headache coming on. He looked at his wife pleadingly.
However, she gave him a helpless look, indicating that she would solve the problem herself.
Seeing that Pei Qi was about to cry, Luo Yuan finally spoke up.
"Pei Qi!"
Pei Qi heard the voice and looked at him with red eyes.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with this. At least you've enjoyed the happiness brought by all kinds of delicacies in the past few years, right? Moreover, if it weren't for this, we might not have the title of Tang and Song Fatty, and we might not have the fate to be deskmates.”
Luo Yuan laughed heartily and continued,"Isn't it just a little fat? It'll be fine if we slim down. We've lost a lot of weight these days.”
Pei Qi thought about it carefully and felt that it was true. The sadness and grievance in her heart immediately faded by half. She took a napkin and wiped her eyes.
Li Wan 'er and Song Youcai looked at each other in astonishment.
The matter that they couldn't even solve was settled just like that?
