Just Graduated, the Aloof School Flower Brought the Baby to the Door?-Chapter 62 - Shu Mengyao Cries—Can Lin Yang Make His Cooking Taste Worse?

Chapter 62: Shu Mengyao Cries—Can Lin Yang Make His Cooking Taste Worse?

Shu Mengyao sat on the living room sofa, staring eagerly at the doorway.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, her eyes instantly lit up.

She immediately ran to the entrance.

The door opened.

“Yaoyao, I’m back.”

Lin Yang appeared in front of Shu Mengyao.

“Lin Yang, I wanted to go today…”

“But I still didn’t have the courage.”

Shu Mengyao originally wanted to rush up and hug Lin Yang, but then she thought about it.

She was so timid that she couldn’t even muster the courage to discuss a business deal.

And suddenly, it felt like she didn’t have a reason to hug him anymore.

“I’ll go with you.”

Lin Yang saw the hesitation in Shu Mengyao’s eyes and patted his chest confidently.

“Really?”

“Lin Yang, don’t you think I’m useless?”

Shu Mengyao looked up in surprise, staring at the man in front of her.

Her heart was filled with anxiety.

She always wanted to achieve something on her own.

She wanted to be a woman worthy of Lin Yang.

But every time she tried to push herself, nervousness and fear would take over.

This mindset frustrated her.

She had been trying to overcome it.

After all, childhood trauma takes time to heal.

Some people spend their whole lives healing from it.

Luckily, she had Lin Yang by her side.

“Why would I think you’re useless?”

“I think you’re amazing. Being able to change little by little already takes a lot of courage.”

“Going slowly isn’t scary. What’s scary is not having the will to try.”

Lin Yang gently ruffled Shu Mengyao’s hair.

As they spoke, their pet, Xiao Ling, came running over.

It circled around Lin Yang’s feet for a moment before trotting over to Shu Mengyao and rubbing against her legs.

“I will definitely become like everyone else in the future!”

Encouraged by Lin Yang’s words, Shu Mengyao regained her confidence.

She nodded firmly.

At that moment, Lin Yang pushed the babies’ stroller back into the nursery.

“You were already exhausted yesterday. Sleeping in this morning is completely normal.”

“After lunch, I’ll go with you.”

Lin Yang spoke directly.

Yesterday had been incredibly tiring.

Even now, Shu Mengyao still felt fatigued all over.

After Lin Yang left, she had almost dozed off.

She had to sit on the couch to keep herself awake.

She felt both embarrassed and satisfied.

“Okay.”

Shu Mengyao’s cheeks flushed pink, and her voice was barely audible.

Right on time, Aunt Lan arrived to help take care of the babies.

Shu Mengyao followed Lin Yang into the kitchen.

“What can I help with?”

She glanced at the variety of ingredients laid out before her, then looked down at her stomach.

She couldn’t help but pout.

“Lin Yang, can you make your cooking taste worse?”

She looked up and said this with absolute seriousness.

“Huh?”

Lin Yang was baffled.

This was the first time in his life that someone had made such a strange request.

“I’ve been gaining weight lately.”

Although it was normal to gain weight during breastfeeding—

After all, it ensured enough nutrition for the babies and kept her body healthy—

But now that her postpartum confinement period was over…

Plus, after last night…

And it definitely wouldn’t be the last time…

She couldn’t help but start worrying about her figure again.

Lin Yang’s cooking was just too good.

If she kept gaining weight, wouldn’t he start disliking her?

She really didn’t want that to happen!

“Where are you fat? I think you look just right.”

Lin Yang tilted his head.

Shu Mengyao had been too skinny before—almost frail.

Now, she wasn’t fat at all—just more well-proportioned.

She looked and felt better.

Her figure was absolutely perfect now.

“Really?”

“But I’ve gained a whole five pounds!”

Shu Mengyao was still anxious.

She looked at Lin Yang hesitantly before glancing down again, pinching her belly.

Oh no.

She could actually pinch some fat!

She never had any extra weight before!!

“Lin Yang, I need to lose weight!”

Shu Mengyao’s little face fell, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She had never been this heavy in her life.

Girls really do care a lot about their figure.

“We already prepared today’s ingredients, so let’s eat as usual.”

“When we come back from my hometown…”

“I’ll make diet meals for you. How does that sound?”

Lin Yang smiled indulgently.

Seeing Shu Mengyao looking so pitiful, his smile deepened.

Compared to before, she was so much more lively now.

Every time he saw these changes, he felt relieved.

“Alright then.”

“You promised, okay? When we come back, you have to make diet meals for me!”

Shu Mengyao looked at Lin Yang with puppy-dog eyes and stretched out her pinky.

“Let’s pinky promise.”

“You can’t go back on your word.”

She was very serious.

It might seem childish, but Lin Yang always went along with her.

He reached out his pinky, and they made a promise.

Finally, Shu Mengyao smiled again.

“So, what should I help with?”

Her voice was noticeably lighter, and she grabbed an apron, putting it on.

Then she turned around eagerly.

Lin Yang chuckled and naturally tied the apron strings for her.

They were perfectly in sync.

As if they had done this a thousand times before.

“Just help wash the vegetables.”

Lin Yang assigned her the simplest task.

First, because he didn’t want her to tire herself out.

Second, because Shu Mengyao really had no talent for cooking.

If she tried something complicated—

The kitchen might just explode.

But she was getting better at the simple tasks.

With both of them working together, the cooking went much faster.

An hour later.

Three dishes and a soup were ready on the table.

Since it was just the two of them, it was more than enough.

As usual, Shu Mengyao loved drinking soup.

The rich aroma was irresistible, and she gulped down two bowls.

Then she picked up her chopsticks to eat.

Lin Yang’s cooking was always amazing.

He never failed.

She often wondered—

When did Lin Yang have time to learn all these complicated dishes?

Or…

Was this what people called talent?

As soon as she started eating, Shu Mengyao completely forgot about dieting.

She ate with intense focus, barely speaking.

Her cheeks puffed up like a hamster, chewing seriously.

She looked absolutely adorable.

Only after eating her fill did Shu Mengyao pat her stomach in satisfaction.

Feeling the slight roundness—

She suddenly remembered.

She was supposed to be on a diet!

This was all Lin Yang’s fault.

Why was his cooking so delicious?

Every time she ate, she completely forgot about losing weight.

Oh no—what was she going to do?

She didn’t mean to eat so much.

But she just couldn’t control herself!

Shu Mengyao felt like crying.

What if she really became a chubby girl?

“Yaoyao, what are you thinking about?”

Lin Yang had already cleared the dishes.

Turning around, he saw Shu Mengyao still sitting at the table, lost in thought.

She looked as if she was mourning something.

“Lin Yang, I’m going to turn into a fat girl.”

“Will you still like me then?”

The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt.

She threw herself into Lin Yang’s arms, crying pitifully.
