They finally arrived in China, and the helicopter landed on the roof of a hotel in K City of Y Province.
Once they got off the helicopter and saw the surrounding buildings, Ning Ran let out a sigh of relief. Finally, we’re back to modern society!
The first thing to do was to have a nice shower, a change of clothes and a good sleep!
Then follow up with a nice meal, no, three meals!
“A hotel room and a change of clothes for both you and the kids has been prepared. You can take them out for a meal after a shower and get some sleep. I’m going to refuel the helicopter, then go pick up my brother and reunite with all of you later tonight. I love you!”
Nan Xing made an exaggerated heart shape with his fingers. Ning Ran shivered as she felt goosebumps rising on her skin.
Although he was flamboyant in his ways, Nan Xing was actually very attentive as the clothes he prepared for them were all of fitting sizes.
After they showered and got changed, Ning Ran and Dabao wanted to sleep but Erbao wanted to eat.
Actually, both sleeping and eating were equally important for them, as they haven’t had a nice meal nor a good night’s sleep ever since they entered the forest.
To a glutton like Erbao, sleep could wait as food was the most important thing in the world.
“Sleep first.” Dabao said.
“I’m hungry! I want to eat chicken drumsticks, prawns, ice cream, seafood hotpot……” Erbao started to list out all the dishes she wanted and began to drool.
“You see, Erbao, we’ve been eating very lightly for a few days now. If we were to suddenly eat a lot, our stomach won’t be able to handle it. What would happen then? Dabao, tell your sister.” Ning Ran looked at Dabao.
“Our stomach is this big now.” Dabao gestured with his hands.
“If we were to eat so much at once, our stomach would be stretched out a lot and won’t be able to digest them all. Then, we will get sick. When we’re sick and end up in the hospital, we can’t eat anything except plain porridge.” Dabao continued to explain.
Erbao cried out, “I don’t want that! I want to eat delicious food!”
“Then we’ll have to eat less for now. I’ll get you a cake from the restaurant, and we’ll go eat a proper meal later at night, okay?” Ning Ran tried to persuade her.
“Alright.” Erbao could only agree.
Someone knocked on the room door. It was a waiter.
“Hello, Mr. Nan Xing asked us to deliver this food.” The waiter said.
They opened it and saw Erbao’s favorite chicken drumsticks, prawns and even some sweet desserts.
This was clearly prepared for Erbao.
“I love daddy! He knows me too well!” Erbao cheered as she drooled over the food.
“Daddy’s too undisciplined! How can he let Erbao eat so much greasy food at once? Her stomach won’t be able to handle it!” Dabao frowned.
“No, daddy is disciplined! He is the best daddy in the world!” Erbao started to eat.
It was impossible to stop Erbao from eating once the food was here.
All Ning Ran could do was limit the amount that Erbao eats.
“Mommy, you should eat some too! You’ve become so thin now, it hurts me to see you like this!” Erbao said sweetly.
As soon as Ning Ran starts to eat, Erbao would start wolfing down her food.
“This is the first meal we’ve had since our return; we must control how much we eat.”
Ning Ran put aside a portion of the food for Erbao, “You can only eat this much, otherwise you’ll really get sick.”
Erbao looked at Ning Ran with a sad face, “Mommy, isn’t this too little?”
“You can only eat this much, or your stomach won’t be able to handle it. If you end up in a hospital, then you can’t eat anything!”
Erbao looked heartbroken, “Alright, then I’ll just fill up my tummy halfway for now.”
After eating, Ning Ran went to bed right away.
Strangely enough, however, she couldn’t seem to fall asleep even though she was very tired.
When she finally fell asleep, she dreamt of Nan Chen with a bloody face dragging her by the hand as they ran through the forest.
