"Huh, with hands and feet, why doesn't he make midnight snacks himself? People are just milking me. There isn’t a single good person in this family except sister!"

"Sister is right, a useless, really thinks he’s the main deal?"

Pretending to be unhappy, I'm grumbling and walking toward the kitchen.

Just turned around, Wen Wan's mouth smiles victoriously, takes out the phone and sends a text message to my father.

Same as a past life, while I was busy making midnight snacks in the kitchen, the family had already gathered in the living room.

tch, Wen Wan this little scammer again wants to fool me!

Having been struck by mines in a previous life, this time I absolutely would never step on them again.

Unlike complaining in the heart like in the past, I feel a crazy heartache about my father inside.

【Sigh, father must really be suffering. Working this late, coming back. When I earn money in the future, I must reward our family. I’ll make sure my father doesn’t suffer anymore.】

【My heart aches for father! What's strange is why sister always complains about father as a lazy insatiable glutton. Does that mean sister actually really dislikes father?】

When I made the midnight snacks, I saw father sitting in the living room, looking at me incredulously.

It seemed like he hadn’t expected that I would think this way.

After all, I had already let them down too many times. In their hearts, I was a selfish, complaining person.

The family also looked at me with a face of surprise, with soft eyes, different from before.

"Oh, our Sheng Sheng is sensible now, knowing the hardships of father working late, intentionally made so many dishes!"

Grandmother laughed kindly, face full of approval.

Father moistened his eye: "I know you feel bad for father, next time you also need to get more rest, no need to cook late-night snacks for me. I can fix a bowl of noodles for myself."

Originally, Wen Wan, who was waiting to watch the show, saw that the family not only didn't criticize me, but still praised me, and her small face immediately sunk.

How did everything turn out to be different from what she expected?

Just as we were joyous, Wen Wan inserted herself with a smile.

"Sister Sheng Sheng indeed put in an effort, made a lot! But, sister, everything you made are dishes father doesn't like to eat, right? Father doesn't like cilantro, or pork liver…"

On the outside, Wen Wan praised me for putting in effort but was making a covert sarcasm of my lack of care.

I clearly understood that Wen Wan saying this was to lead me to blame father for more things inside, and thus split the relationship between father and me.

Yet, I wouldn't let her succeed. Not only would I not scold father, I would feel heavy guilt and self-reproach.

【Father came back so late and I don’t know his favorite food. I even made something he doesn’t like to eat, I'm really useless!】

【Sigh, I couldn't believe that the divide between my family and me is already this deep, I don’t understand my family at all. Do we still have a chance to reconcile?】

Hearing me say that again, Father reddened his eyes once more, tears swirled in his eyes.

Midnight snacks went uneaten, hastily standing up, he hugged me.

"Silly child, you making night-time snacks moves father to tears, how could I ever blame you?"

"Besides, who said father doesn’t like them, whatever Sheng Sheng makes, regardless of what it is, father likes to eat!"

As he spoke, Father frowned and glanced at Wen Wan.

Not only was he displeased with Wen Wan before due to my inner thoughts about it, now when he heard Wen Wan speak like that, anger seeped into his voice.

"What are you doing with your little sister? Do you know my preferences, why don't you make them?"

To prove that he indeed really liked the dishes I made, Father, enduring intense pain, forcibly stuffed down a few large mouthfuls of food.

Wen Wan was inexplicably reprimanded, with an unpleasant face.

Seeing father go through so much pain to not criticize me, her eyes were even more icy and cold.

“Father, I...I was just teasing Sheng Sheng."

Father’s face darkened, pointing directly at Wen Wan to lecture her.

"Teasing? Do you see someone's smile here?"
