Young Again

Chapter 20: Morning, Bathroom
Li Xintong usually doesn't suffer from insomnia, but on the first day at Chen Wang's house, she lay in bed until very late before falling asleep.

At five fifty-five in the morning, the alarm clock rang. She woke up quickly, put on her autumn school uniform, and left the bedroom, planning to make breakfast.

But as soon as she came out, she smelled the aroma of cooked corn.

Chen Wang's mother was already cooking breakfast in the living room. Seeing Li Xintong standing at the kitchen door, she asked curiously with a smile, "Why are you getting up so early?"

“…I’d like to see if I can help make breakfast.” Li Xintong said honestly.

"I've already cooked eggs and corn, just eat them directly. There's only one bag of soy milk, boil it up and pour two cups to drink together. If you're not full, go downstairs with Doudou...Chen Wang to eat."

"Doudou is?"

What keywords did Li Xintong capture?

"Oh, he won't let me call him that when he grows up."

Zhou Yurong covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, then she pressed her hands and explained, "Chen Wang was born a month premature. He was very small, just like a soybean, so he was called Doudou. Who would have thought that he would grow so big?"

"Then we can change it to potatoes."

After listening, Li Xintong suggested.

Zhou Yurong: “…”

She suddenly discovered that this child, Li Xintong, seemed to have a talent for being funny in a serious way.

"Auntie, do you get up so early?" Li Xintong asked.

"I have to go to work, so I have to go early." After Zhou Yurong explained, she reminded her, "Go wash up. I bought you new towels, both for bathing and washing your face. There are also tooth mugs and toothbrushes. You will recognize them at a glance."

"...Thank you." Li Xintong nodded and said embarrassedly.

After Chen Wang’s mother left, Li Xintong went to the bathroom.

Then, I saw my pink towel and toothbrush neatly placed on the sink.

The toothbrush holder with the image of Meow Meow printed on it is indeed easier to identify.

And Chen Wang’s is also easy to recognize.

It’s Pleasant Goat.

As for towels, Chen Wang chooses blue.

This mother keeps the home in good order through quite strict stereotypes.

I heard from Chen Wang that his parents were divorced. But his mother was obviously a very good person, so why did they get divorced?
I'm really curious.

While thinking about this, she brushed her teeth.

Suddenly, the toilet door was pushed open.

Chen Wang, squinting and yawning, walked straight to the toilet, grabbed the waistband of his pants with one hand, and pulled it down naturally...

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Li Xintong, who had a toothbrush in her mouth and foam at the corners of her mouth, quickly waved her hands to stop his habitual behavior.

"..." Chen Wang was stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled his hand out of his waistband and tilted his head slightly to the side, "Oh, I forgot, sorry."

"No, it's okay." Li Xintong said with great understanding, "This kind of thing happened quite suddenly. I think you need a few days to get used to it."

"really."

Seeing that she didn't scream in fear or accuse him of harassing him, Chen Wang was no longer so nervous.

He walked behind her, took his cup toothbrush from her head, and squeezed a ball of toothpaste on it: "I'll go to the kitchen to wash it."

Li Xintong was standing in front of the sink. When Chen Wang casually stood behind her and reached out to grab the toothbrush, her body was so tense that she dared not move.

Then she slowly turned her head and watched him leave the bathroom.

Such a strong sense of relaxation...

Do you feel any shyness at all about having a girl of the same age in your family?
Li Xintong doesn’t know if all boys are like this.

But as a girl, she is still a little bit shy.

For example, when he took the toothbrush from behind, Li Xintong felt her earlobe turn red...

After brushing her teeth, washing her face with clean water and finally drying her face with a wet towel, Li Xintong began to observe the place on her forehead where the suitcase had hit her yesterday.

Fortunately, there were no bruises.

Otherwise, if there was a bruise on that spot, and I hadn't been to school for a few days, someone would definitely misunderstand me.

Will anyone believe that I was hit by a box and it got like this when I was putting my suitcase away?
And I feel that if I tell others about this, it would be more embarrassing than domestic violence.

The former can only show the misfortune of the family, while the latter proves the intellectual disability.

Just then, Chen Wang suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

Li Xintong was fine, but he paused. Then, he said in a rather reflective manner: "What if you are in the toilet at this time..."

"I'll lock the door." Li Xintong raised her hand and interrupted.

"How about this, just don't close the door when brushing your teeth," Chen Wang suggested.

"That's fine, this will also save time." Li Xintong nodded.

"Do you want to go to the bathroom now?" Chen Wang asked.

"You first." Li Xintong said politely.

"Row."

"Um..." Before leaving the bathroom, Li Xintong looked at Chen Wang and asked curiously, "I want to ask, boys' hair is relatively short, why does it explode in the morning?"

At this moment, Chen Wang had a lot of hair on his head, standing up in clumps, looking lazy like a hedgehog.

"That's a good question." Chen Wang nodded. "How would I know?"

Just like that, Li Xintong came out of the bathroom.

Chen Wang was there, sitting on the toilet and playing with his phone. When his feet became a little numb, he stood up, washed his hands, and left the toilet.

When he walked into the living room, Chen Wang saw that his breakfast had been placed on a plate on the table.

A corn, two eggs, and a bag of soy milk boiled in hot water next to it.

"I'm losing fat, so my protein intake is a bit high."

Chen Wang put an egg on Li Xintong's plate which only had one corn on it, then picked up the corn and started eating it.

"Have you really lost weight?" Li Xintong glanced at him and asked curiously.

"I've lost weight. I've been running for an hour every night these days and sweating like crazy," said Chen Wang.

"Didn't you weigh it?"

After she reminded him, Chen Wang also remembered. So he put down the corn, walked to the electronic scale, took off his shoes on both sides, took off his autumn school uniform jacket and threw it aside. Finally, he stood on the scale.

77.6KG.

At the beginning, it was 79.5.

In one week, I lost 18 pounds.

It is indeed a bit cruel.

However, the figure is still not very visible.

Although a search on Baidu shows that the standard weight of 180 is between 60kg and 78kg, in fact, 120kg is too thin and 156kg is too fat. The numerical range given on the Internet is divided from a health perspective.

One hundred and fifty-six pounds can only be considered a relatively perfect figure after exercising and reducing the body fat percentage.

What Chen Wang needs to do now is to lose weight first and then gain muscle.

"Have you lost weight?"

Li Xintong asked curiously.

"Yeah, I lost almost three pounds." After Chen Wang finished speaking, he turned back in confusion, "Why do you care about this?"

"I want to see the power of love."

Li Xintong joked with a smile.

Then, Chen Wang's somewhat confused expression made her teasing, which she thought was funny, become a little awkward.

"Isn't this aerobic power?"

Chen Wang returned to the dining table while complaining and started eating breakfast again while browsing his phone.

The two of them ate in peace.

While Chen Wang was busy with his phone and eating eggs, Li Xintong lowered her head and whispered, "Doudou."

"......Ugh!" Upon hearing this, Chen Wang got a mouthful of egg yolk stuck in his trachea and almost choked himself to death.

Then, he quickly picked up the soy milk and gulped it down.

His cheeks instantly turned red and warm, just like the daily life of an ordinary League of Legends player.

Li Xintong on the side was a little frightened. She stared blankly at Chen Wang's back, raised her hand, but put it back silently.

Chen Wang, who had finally swallowed it, asked Li Xintong in pain, "Did my mother tell you?"

"It was an accidental slip of the tongue."

"and then?"

“Then I asked further questions.”

"Don't expect to use this as a lever to threaten me. Let me tell you, it's useless!" Chen Wang warned seriously.

"It depends on your reaction."

Li Xintong observed Chen Wang who was trying to act fearless and said, "It feels very useful."

"Everyone has a nickname. What's the point? Don't you have a nickname that's embarrassing to call out?"

"I have."

"Right?"

"But you don't know that."

"..."

At this moment, Chen Wang suddenly understood a truth - in modern warfare, what is fought is the information gap!
Seeing Chen Wang, who was always calm and composed in front of her, suddenly become so flustered, Li Xintong suddenly felt that her mood seemed to be inexplicably happy.

"oh oh."

Chen Wang ignored it perfunctorily and did not dwell on this topic any more. If she suddenly made a noise later, Chen Wang would not tolerate it and would simply ignore it.

Are you bullying your brother Dou?

"I'm done eating."

Li Xintong said hello, stood up, and went to the bathroom.

Chen Wang finished his last sip of milk and prepared to get up.

However, he saw a notebook lying on the table. Could it be that Li Xintong forgot to put it in her schoolbag?

Chen Wang picked it up curiously, then opened it and found it was a new one.

And, it was just one page.

Soon, he recognized that it was an account book.

Taxi, 10 yuan. Coke, 2.5 yuan. Lunch and pocket money, 300 yuan. She recorded all her debts in detail...
