Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend-Chapter 31: Xiao An, Do You Still Want to Go to School?
The aunt’s cooking skills can only be considered average; she didn’t quite bring out the essence of braised pork, the heat was somewhat off.
Gu Jin finished the lean meat in her bowl and then put down her chopsticks.
She looked at the child opposite her, An Mingji, who had eaten more than half a bowl of pork. It had been a long time since he had eaten so well.
With so much braised pork in his stomach, he was a bit overwhelmed.
Looking at the remaining braised pork in the bowl, his face was full of reluctance as he picked up another piece with his chopsticks and continued to eat.
Seeing his expression, Gu Jin frowned slightly and took his bowl away: "Stop eating, your stomach can’t handle being too full right now. If you want to eat, I’ll make it for you next time. Once your stomach gets better, I promise you’ll have meat to eat every meal."
Initially, An Mingji was staring intently at the bowl Gu Jin took away, full of reluctance. However, upon hearing her words, he looked slightly better and even let out a breath of relief.
"Okay."
He chewed the braised pork in his mouth a few times and swallowed it, then rubbed his uncomfortable stomach through his clothes.
Seeing him like this, Gu Jin was indeed angry, angry with herself.
She knew that An Mingji had often gone hungry in recent years, and his stomach mustn’t be well, yet she forgot to restrain him.
She pulled An Mingji up, "Come, let’s go back to the room and I’ll rub your stomach."
As they left the kitchen and went back to the room, Gu Jin noticed that half of the people who came to buy meat in the yard had left.
Her uncle was still cutting meat for people, while her aunt was collecting money, her face beaming like a blooming flower.
Gu Jin took one look and then withdrew her gaze, leading An Mingji back to the house.
"Go lie down on the bed."
She walked to the porcelain basin on the wooden stand, poured hot water into the basin, and once her hands were warm, she walked to the bedside.
An Mingji was already lying obediently on the bed, though his whole body appeared a bit stiff.
"Relax, I’m just going to rub your stomach a bit so you won’t feel uncomfortable when you sleep at night."
Gu Jin lifted his shirt and gently caressed his bruised belly with her warm hands.
"Ugh..."
An Mingji, already feeling stuffed, immediately felt the swelling and pain when she rubbed his stomach.
"Relax, you’ll feel better in a moment."
Gu Jin rhythmically rubbed An Mingji’s stomach in circles, and soon the child relaxed his body.
As she did this, she was planning the life she and An Mingji would lead together.
"Xiao An, do you still want to go to school?"
Gu Jin’s sudden question made An Mingji tense up again.
He cautiously glanced at the person sitting beside him, pursed his lips, "... No."
"Lying." Gu Jin pursed her lips, knowing full well he wasn’t being truthful.
She continued to lightly rub An Mingji’s stomach, saying nonchalantly, "I’m thinking of paying to go to City No. 1 High School this fall. It’s far away, and I wouldn’t be able to come back for months."
Upon hearing this, An Mingji’s whole body tensed up awkwardly.
He had just been adopted today, got registered, and had a home, and now Gu Jin’s words made his heart anxious.
Seeing his unease, Gu Jin smiled and said, "Relax, listen to me first."
But how could An Mingji relax now? His mind was filled with fear of being abandoned again; he thought that once Gu Jin left, he’d eventually be thrown out by the Gu Family.
He couldn’t miss the indifferent attitude of Old Master Gu and Chen Hong’s discontent.
Gu Jin took in An Mingji’s panic and fear, speaking gently, "I’ll definitely take you with me when I leave. You’ll leave with me then. It’s just that I don’t know if you’ve forgotten your studies before dropping out, and what grade you should be in..."
