Chapter 2726: Growing Taller and Fatter

Shu Yan finished a bowl of porridge and ate most of the dishes on the table before she felt half full.

She couldn't help but frown, thinking that this shouldn't be right.

She suddenly looked at her hands, her eyes dulled for a moment.

She slowly raised her hands and looked at the fleshy dimples on the back of her hands in disbelief. Isn't this what those chubby children have?

She raised her other hand again. Are these white, tender and chubby hands hers?

Where are her delicate hands?

She couldn't help but pinch her waist, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there wasn't as much flesh on her waist as on her hands, but there was still flesh.

She didn't care that Gu Xin and Dong Xue were beside her, so she bent down slightly and pinched the flesh on her legs.

Then the arms, and then the face.

She realized.

She had gained weight.

She must have eaten well in the past ten years. Anyway, what she just ate was the amount she used to eat three meals a day, and she still felt that she was not full.

Gu Xin and Dong Xue didn't understand what she was doing at first, but now Gu Xin understood a little.

When Wang Pangzi talked about his cousin before, he didn't mention height, weight or thinness. The main reason was that when Wang Pangzi last saw his cousin, he was less than ten years old, and Shu Yan was probably only eleven or twelve years old. Now more than ten years have passed, Wang Pangzi has changed, and Shu Yan can't have not changed, so Wang Pangzi didn't mention weight or thinness, but only said that Sha Ya looked like his aunt.

Now, Gu Xin felt that Shu Yan found that he had gained weight.

So, she couldn't help but remind him: "Miss Shu, it's been ten years, you have not only gained meat, but also grown taller. I have grown a lot taller in the past three years since I came of age."

Shu Yan was stunned, and then asked: "Miss Gu San, can you please stand up? I want to see if I have grown taller."

Gu Xin of course could, and she stood up as she was told.

Shu Yan also stood up, looked at the height of the door, looked at Gu Xin and Dong Xue, and then walked to Gu Xin's side.

She found that she was as tall as Miss Gu San.

Miss Gu San was the tallest girl she had ever met. She had actually grown taller.

She said happily, "I had not grown any taller since I was twelve years old. Compared with my cousins, I was too petite. Once, I overheard a distant relative telling my mother that I looked unwell and my hands looked like the claws of the chickens raised on her farm. She asked my mother to nourish me. As a result, my hands became white and plump, and I grew taller. My mother would definitely not worry about me anymore..."

She paused when she said this.

She forgot that Miss Gu San had just told her that her mother was depressed and had passed away after she disappeared.

Gu Xin reached out and held her, patting her gently, "Miss Shu, your aunt will be happy. You see, you have grown taller and gained weight in the past ten years. Maybe your aunt is protecting you in the dark!"

Shu Yan's tears fell all at once.

Although Shu Yan's face is chubby, she looks particularly small, and with a cloth wrapped around her forehead, she looks particularly pitiful when she cries.

She has gained weight, but not the kind that is fat and big-eared. Instead, she is the kind that is neither fat nor thin. She looks particularly energetic and likable.
