Chapter 29: A Constipated Little Mermaid

Gu Tingwei explained, “The only way you’ll grow taller is if you eat veggies.”

Tangtang still continued to shake her head defiantly. “Don’t want veggies…”

“Big Brother will eat them with Tangtang.”

Despite this, Tangtang was still very unwilling. Even as she held the plate, she avoided touching the vegetables, as though they were poison.

The little kid had just learned how to walk. In the beginning, she’d staggered from place to place.

Now that she was holding a plate, she walked like a drunken penguin.

Gu Tingwei patiently slowed down his steps and walked behind her.

“Quick, look! That little child is so adorable…”

“She came to the cafeteria all by herself to eat. She’s too amazing!”

“Pft haha, walking like that, she’ll spill all the rice on her plate… Should we go and help her?”

As Tangtang walked, she thought, she wasn’t spilling her rice!

She was clearly spilling… the veggies!

A while back, she had almost collided with someone. She stumbled as she walked, and her slippery piece of chicken cutlet had almost flown off her plate, giving her a flash of inspiration.

Since her lovely chicken cutlet was capable of flying, then the loathsome veggies would obviously be able to fly as well—

In that case, she’d let all those despicable veggies fly to the sky!

As she pondered this, a naughty grin surfaced on her face. Just like a crafty fox cub, she purposefully weaved through areas with high traffic. When she came close to bumping into someone, she would intentionally tilt her plate so the veggies would fall off.

However, boohoo…

Why weren’t these annoying veggies flying away?

Only a bit of sauce from the vegetables spilled onto her fair, soft little hands. It was sticky and slimy. Truly disgusting.

Gu Tingwei, who was walking behind the little kid, saw through her evil intentions. He put his hand to his forehead: “…”

At this rate, with Tangtang’s drunken footwork, they wouldn’t be able to leave the cafeteria, and their dishes would become cold

Gu Tingwei cleared his throat. “Ahem. Tangtang, you should be careful with the plate in your hands. If the veggies spill, we’ll have to stay behind and help the janitor auntie clean up. If that happens, the chicken and fish will become cold, and they won’t be delicious anymore.”

Tangtang tensed up. Pausing in place, she hastily cast a nervous glance at her beloved chicken and fish.

Her eyes shifted between her favorite meat dishes and the disgusting veggies. In the end… she had to make a compromise.

If it came down to it, she’d just secretly spit out the veggies when they ate their meal later.

Hmph hmph hmph. In any case, she definitely wasn’t going to eat the veggies!

Mo Heng stood at the entrance of the lounge. He watched as two children, one big and one small, returned independently with plates in their hands. He came close to wiping away tears of fatherly pride.

He rushed forward to welcome them, and then took the plate in Tangtang’s hand and glanced at it. He was extremely delighted. “Tangtang actually chose veggies?”

Ever since he’d brought Tangtang back from the island, she’d refused to take a single bite of green vegetables!

In the beginning, Mo Heng didn’t really mind much.

He thought that mermaids only ate meat.

However, the day before, Tangtang had had a stomachache. Mo Heng had been worried and frantic, but he also didn’t to bring her to the hospital. After researching for half a day, he realized that the kid… was constipated.

Only then did he realize that little mermaids were the same as little children. They required a daily dose of vitamins and fiber, as well as a balanced diet.

This little kid was picky with food. She only liked to eat meat.

Unfortunately… No matter how much Mo Heng coaxed her, this child continually refused to eat green vegetables.

Mo Heng was out of ideas. He could only blend the vegetables and mix them into her porridge.

Just as he’d been fretting about how this wasn’t a long-term solution, Tangtang had unexpectedly picked up vegetables of her own accord.

When Tangtang realized that Mo Heng had misunderstood who the vegetables belonged to, she hurriedly pointed to Gu Tingwei. “Big Brother… Eat…”
