Gu Shiting’s expression paused for a moment.
His elder sister was standing at the doorway, carrying her luggage in hand.
She usually used her assistant, but had never brought the assistant home. Every time she returned from a trip, she had large bags and boxes, and later, a driver would bring in more trunks.
She also smelled the fragrance of porridge from the dining room.
After a long journey, Gu Shiyan wasn’t very hungry now. Being able to enjoy a bowl of hot porridge was truly a pleasure.
She sat down at the dining table.
Gu Shiting felt that no matter how annoying his sister was, she always managed to interrupt his good times.
"Sister Chen, serve me a bowl of porridge," Gu Shiyan ordered, "Just a little bit, I dare not drink too much."
"Then you’d better not drink!" Gu Shiting immediately retorted, "This isn’t millet porridge, it’s just regular rice. You know plain rice is pure carbs. A bowl of this is no different from drinking a bowl of sugar water; your face will be swollen by tomorrow morning."
Gu Shiyan was a celebrity and needed to constantly watch her figure. She had to be at least three sizes slimmer than an average person to look good on camera.
Gu Shiting was right; plain rice porridge was indeed pure carbs. A bowl of it would cause blood sugar to spike and weight to increase, much like drinking sugar water.
"Then..." Gu Shiyan hesitated and said to Sister Chen, "Just half a bowl, I’ll take a couple of sips to taste."
Sheng Tang laughed beside them.
However, she herself didn’t eat much staple food and usually focused on high-protein, high-fiber foods. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have slimmed down so quickly.
She still had more than a year before graduating from high school, so she didn’t need to be as strict with herself as Gu Shiyan and would occasionally indulge.
Sister Chen brought the porridge over.
Gu Shiyan tasted a spoonful. The savory flavor spread from her mouth to her stomach, warming her entire body. Her sense of smell and taste were filled with an unusual happiness.
"Delicious!" Gu Shiyan exclaimed, "This doesn’t taste like the seafood porridge we used to have. Is there a new chef in the house?"
Her family had many chefs, except for the head chef, others would occasionally get replaced.
"I made it." Sheng Tang smiled.
Gu Shiyan: "..."
She finally understood why her brother was so concerned about her blood sugar and weight gain. Usually, that brat didn’t care about any of this.
She had thought he was worried about her, but it turned out he was simply afraid she would drink the porridge Sheng Tang made!
Her brother was stingy beyond belief!
Gu Shiyan glared at Gu Shiting and quickly finished a small bowl.
She didn’t plan to argue with her brother; after all, gaining weight would be her own problem. But her appetite was now whetted, and she eagerly wanted a second bowl.
She called out to Sister Chen, "Another bowl, one more bowl will do!"
"If you finish it all, what are we going to eat?" Gu Shiting complained, "I haven’t had enough! Can’t you eat something else?" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel·fire.net
"I insist on having porridge!"
The two of them seemed on the verge of arguing again.
Sheng Tang stepped in to mediate, gently patting Gu Shiting’s hand, "It’s just a bowl of porridge, don’t be so stingy!"
Gu Shiting: "..."
He felt extremely aggrieved.
Was he being stingy? Clearly, it was his sister butting in and stealing his porridge.
"If you like it, I’ll make more for you tomorrow morning." Sheng Tang smiled, "Next time, I’ll make enough for everyone."
Gu Shiting said, "No need to make more, tomorrow, just make it for me alone."
Sheng Tang: "..."
Gu Shiyan: "..."
So stingy, and he dares to call himself an adult!
Sheng Tang held back her laughter, choosing not to argue with him.
After the meal, Gu Shiting and Sheng Tang went upstairs.
Sheng Tang was planning to return to her room, but Gu Shiting grabbed her hand and said to her, "Come with me, I have something to show you, in my study."
"What is it?"
She asked this while following Gu Shiting to the third-floor study.
