At this point, the siblings suddenly fell silent together.
After a while, Zhen Yu finally said, "It doesn't matter whether we come back for meals or not! Anyway, Mom doesn't eat with us now!"
"That's true," Zhen Yan's expression was mixed with both happiness and sadness, "She's got Uncle Gu cooking meals just for her now! Heh... it feels like we're just freeloading! We can't even eat at our own home every day!"
"Isn't it nice to 'dine out' every day?" Zhen Yu casually remarked.
"Bullshit!" Zhen Yan cursed, goaded by his sister...
"Enough! Stop talking about that!" Zhen Yu didn't want to drag their mother into the conversation, and handed over some walnuts. "Take these 20 walnuts with you, eat one a day. Starting today, all the free time you have should be devoted to studying Chinese and English!" Zhen Yu's tone suddenly shifted from relaxed to serious, "Remember!! Lock them in the cabinet! No eating extras! No giving them away!"
Zhen Yan composed himself and nodded solemnly.
