Chapter 33: My little dumplings..
Su Yumi nodded and patted Li Seulbi's head "Now, Don't stress yourself anymore. C'mon eat some food. I have made your favorite dish." Generally Li Seulbi didn't have any appetite before, but looking at her favorite dish her stomach started to growl. It was steamed buns stuffed with ground pork.
Li Seulbi's favourite thing in Su Yumi's steamed buns were the decorations. This time the steamed buns were decorated as a Rabbit. It was simple breakfast yet can make many people drool from its aroma. Without wasting any time further, Li Seulbi hastily dug into her breakfast. Seeing this, Su Yumi felt warm inside her heart. "Eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you. I will go get some milk for you" Su Yumi sai as she left the room.
In the kitchen:
Li Ruan and Li Ri were having their breakfast. Tang Fian was also busy making the lunch.
"Mother, Did you fight with father ?" Li Ri asked all of a sudden
Tang Fian froze. She turned to look at Li Ri before replying " No..why would you think that?"
Li Ri shook her head " It's just because you slept in my room last night instead of your room. So I thought maybe you two were fighting. But I guess i was just overthinking."
Tang Fian bitterly smiled but didn't say anything further, She continued to do her chores. Li Ri and Li Ruan were still unaware about Li Seulbi's incident.
So, particularly they didn't even imagine Li Seulbi was sleeping in Li Cheng and Tang Fian's room yesterday.
Just then, Su Yumi walked into the kitchen. "Good morning Grandma " Li Ri and Li Ruan greeted Su Yumi.
"Goodmorning, My Little Dumplings " Su Yumi smiled and greeted them back.
Hearing the words "Little Dumplings", both Li Ri and Li Ruan were speechless.
"I know.. Grandma's little dumpling was refered to you. Haha i already said that, You have gained a lot weight and became chubbier this days, just like a dumpling. Now even Grandma teases you. "Li Ruan teased Li Ri.
"You-"Li Ri face became red from anger. She pursed her lips, thinking of how to backfire him. Having thought of something, Li Ri chuckled " Aiya, Xiao Ruan, If i am the dumpling then you should be regarded as 'little' then. Haha Though we are twins, you are still really shorter than me. Haha little Ruan."
Li Ruan who was making fun of Li Ri just now instantly felt anger brewing inside him. He was proud of his looks. He was handsome and any girl could fall in love with him by his looks.
But the only problem was his height. His height was slightly shorter than average boys. And Li Ri was taller than Li Ruan. So, she always teased him by his height.
"Sis Ri, How could you-"
"Li Ri..Li Ruan, You both stop it. You aren't small childrens anymore. Why are you fighting early in the morning? Eat your breakfast and go to school quietly both of you." Tang Fian shouted.
Li Ri and Li Ruan exchanged death glares with eachother before looking away finishing their breakfast.
Su Yumi sighed as she thought' These kids..But It would be so good if They treat Li Seulbi as their own elder sister.'
[Li Seulbi's Room]
When Su Yumi entered the room with soybean milk, Li Seulbi was not there. However, the breakfast plate was now empty.
"Xiao Seulbi, Are you in the bathroom? Su Yumi called out as she placed the soybean milk in a table.
"Yeah. Yumi, Wait for a few minutes. I will be done by then." Li Seulbi's voice could be heard from bathroom.
"Okay" Su Yumi said as she sat on the bed. Her eyes wander around the room.
There were photos of Li Seulbi and her in the walls. But She noticed there wasn't a single photo of Li Seulbi with the whole family. This made Su Yumi heart ache.
'What will happen after i die .Will my dear grand daughter, Xiao Seulbi be all alone and be tortured by the society. Tang Fian doesn't care about Li Seulbi at all, Xiao Ri and Ruan feels ashamed calling her their sister..'
'As for my son, I cannot understand what he is thinking nowadays. But He is the only hope for Seulbi. Should I really forgive Cheng and advise Xiao Seulbi to get along with him? But will she agree?'
*Click*
Su Yumi's train of thoughts were interupted by the sound of bathroom door opening. She put aside her thoughts and stood up.
"Oh, Seulbi, Are you planning to go to school today?" Su Yumi couldn't help but ask seeing Li Seulbi in her school uniform.
"
Li Seulbi nodded as she took the glass of milk in her hands and started drinking.
Child, your health is not too good. You should at least rest for today. If you want i could ask for a week leave from school for you" Su Yumi was worried.
Li Seulbi who was drinking the milk almost choked out listening to Su Yumi. "A week leave?! Yumi,No need for that. I mean exams are coming so i can't take so long holiday. Yumi, I am totally fine. Don't worry."
Su Yumi tried to convince her " At least rest for today. Otherwise, I will be worried sick thinking about your health. "
Li Seulbi finished the milk, placed the glass on the table before approaching Su Yumi. She grabbed her hands and squatted in front of Su Yumi.
"Yumi, Don't worry. I am fine. *Puts Yumi's hand in her forehead* My Fever is gone, My leg doesn't hurt at all. And Look for yourself, the injuries on my knees is almost gone too."
Li Seulbi shows her kness." Should i prove it to you that it really doesn't hurt? * Suddenly starts to jump * See..See..I am so active..No pain-"
A sudden sharp pain assault her knee, making her to stop jumping. She tried her hardest not to show it in her face.
"Are you okay?"Noticing abrupt change in action, Su Yumi asked.
"Of course. It's just..My stomach! I drank milk so the sudden jumping made my stomach ache a little. It's nothing serious. Hehe. "Li Seulbi laughed it off.
"Then why are you clutching your knees?" Su Yumi raised her brows.¶¶¶¶
