"Have you been feeling chest tightness, abdominal pain, and constant thirst but never quenching it?"

As soon as the video connected, the girl on the other side bombarded me with a series of questions.

Instinctively, I wanted to refute her, but my gaze fell on the 5-liter bucket of bottled water next to the table leg.

Lately, I've been drinking an unusually large amount of water, often finishing a whole bucket in half a day.

During the few seconds of my silence, the barrage in the chat became even more excited.

【See! Master Qingning is truly amazing!】

【Nonsense, even if these symptoms are real, they could be caused by a vitamin deficiency.】

【You don't know anything.】

Seeing that they were about to argue again, I changed to a more relaxed tone and said, "I have indeed been feeling unwell recently, but..."

Before I could finish my sentence, my boyfriend's mother suddenly pushed the door open:

"Nannan, why didn't you respond when I called you for dinner?"

She was holding a bowl of rice and a plate of pickled fish eyes, completely ignoring what I was doing and placing them directly in front of me.

I quickly turned the camera around, said a brief goodbye to my fans, and ended the livestream.

Turning back, I slammed my phone heavily on the table and angrily said, "Aunt Yu, I was just livestreaming! How many times have I told you to knock before entering my room!"

"Oh, this child. I'm just afraid you'll starve with an empty stomach. Alright, alright, hurry up and eat."

She casually responded and walked out of the room.

I scooped some pickled fish eyes onto my rice, and the image of that mysterious girl from earlier came to mind, further aggravating my mood.

The fish eyes were soaked in sauce, giving them a soy sauce color. They were cool and smooth in the mouth, bursting with delicious juice when bitten.

I nodded contentedly, feeling some of my anger dissipate.

These pickled fish eyes were a specialty brought from the countryside by Aunt Yu.

A whole big jar of them, I wonder how many trips she made...

Lost in my thoughts, I suddenly felt a sense of guilt.
