Blood relationship is a magical existence. It didn't take long for me to resolve the conflict with my father.

He came to pick me up from school and brought Shao Lei home as well.

My mother opened the door and saw the two of us following behind, and her smile froze for a moment.

"Xiao Yu, why did you come back so early today?"

The homeroom teacher started an after-school program at her house, and my mother was the first to sign me up, so usually I would only come home around 8 or 9 o'clock.

At that time, the house was also quiet, and everyone was in their own rooms, so I just quietly returned to my room, feeling the chilliness of home.

"Oh, that homeroom teacher is not qualified. I complained about her to the principal today, so from now on, Xiao Yu will come home for dinner."

My father answered for me.

"Why complain? I think the homeroom teacher is pretty good. She is very attentive and can always observe details that we can't..."

My mother rambled on in defense of the homeroom teacher.

My father didn't respond, he just motioned for me to sit at the dining table. I glanced at the table and saw that there were only three pairs of chopsticks.

My father reached out and passed his chopsticks to me.

"Here, Xiao Yu, sit down and eat."

The dishes on the table were all light and simple, not the "heartwarming meals" I usually had.

"These dishes are the ones Xiao Yu doesn't like. Don't get angry, Mom will make a separate dish for you later."

My mother stood behind and raised a big smile.

I hadn't said anything yet, but she had already assumed my mood and felt angry.

"Mom, I like these dishes. In the past, I only ate greasy and salty food because you made them. I didn't want to waste them, but actually, I prefer lighter flavors."

My mother froze.

"Xiao Yu, are you saying that Mom made a mistake?"

She covered her mouth in astonishment, "Mom has always been doing it for your own good."

Here it comes again.

As long as I show a hint of disagreement, my mother will use this sentence to shut me up.

This time, I chose to ignore it.

"Come on, Xiao Yu, eat more vegetables."

My father picked up some vegetables for me, "You also need to pay attention to your appearance. Girls can be not pretty, but they must make people feel refreshed and comfortable. You..."

I lowered my head and looked at my own overweight figure, indeed, I was too fat. This was the root of my insecurity and anxiety.

"From today onwards, I will work hard to lose weight."
