chapter 4

Ying Lan's eyes brightened as she looked at the food in front of her. This one was called noodles and the big white round thing was called dumpling.

The aroma wafted through the air teasing her nose as she took the chopsticks and scooped the noodles.

She ate the food slowly, relishing every bite of flavours that exploded in her mouth. She unhurriedly finished the last bite and took a sip of the lemon juice Mother Ying prepared for her.

Mother Ying looked at her daughter emotionally as she finished her meal for the first time in a long time. Her daughter was obsessed with being a star that she started a diet to become "thin."

"Lan Lan, is there something you want to share with your mother and I? You can tell us anything you want to say" Father Ying spoke as he looked at his daughter remorsefully.

it was his fault that his baby daughter tried to kill herself! if he didn't give her the silent treatment and tried to understand her side of the story, she wouldn't be desperate enough to commit suicide.

Poor father Ying, where did he know his real daughter was gone and the one in front of him is from another world. Mother Ying squeezed Father Ying's hand assuringly and looked at her daughter who looked unusually quiet today.

Ying Lan looked up from the food to see three pairs of eyes facing her. Two sad and one full of ignorance. knowing what she should say at this moment, Ying Lan said "I am sorry dad and mom, I know what I did: made you worried but I promise I am not gonna do it again. I will try to make you proud of me."

although Ying Lan may have a high IQ, her EQ is low and is slow doesn't know how to express her feelings but her words still shocked her parents.

Mother Ying gaped at Ying Lan and looked back at the equally shocked father Ying. This daughter gave them too much trouble that they thought she was gone on this futureless forever.

But now although Ying Lan was expressionless, they could feel her sincerity.

"Good! Good! Good!" Father Ying shouted excitedly as he stood up, looking at his daughter with 'My daughter finally grew up' expression.

Ying Chen looked at his Father not knowing why he was so excited and continued burying his head on the bowl to eat.

Mother Ying can understand his excitement because she is also the same. A good daughter who used to be obedient became like this, they as a parent are the most affected. They may pretend not to care, but only they know how late they spend at night waiting for their daughter who is out late partying.

"Good girl, mom knows you are wronged, mom understands it, but in this society, if you want to succeed you at least need to have a college degree as a back up if you fail your star dreams. Mom doesn't want to break your fantasy, but the reality is completely different from your imagination." Mother Ying affectionately told Ying Lan. She hoped her daughter could go back to school and finish her studies.

It is April and there are only two months left till the college entrance examination. If Ying Lan were to agree to go back to school, she would need to repeat a year because there was no way Ying Lan could do well.... according to Mother Ying which Ying Lan would prove them wrong soon.

"I will do as you wish" Ying Lan looked at her empty plate and pointed towards the kitchen and asked.

"Can I have more food" honestly, the food she ate didn't make her half full because of her powers that consumed energy in the form of food.
