"You told me to give this to me to eat."

The younger brother licked the bottom of the bowl, looking proud and smug.

He knew perfectly well that Nanxi would never give him such delicious meat.

Luckily, he was clever and hid at the door while his mother ate the meat beforehand.

Of course, there's still a lot of oil at the bottom of the bowl, so we can't let that go to waste either.

Nanxi couldn't help but laugh: "Here, have some. Nobody said you couldn't have some, but if you only eat one bowl... is that enough?"

The last sentence was like a bewitching demon.

The younger brother's eyes widened, and his swallowing was so clear it was easily audible in the room: "What do you mean? Do you mean I can still eat this?"

Even though he had just eaten a bowl of meat, his mouth was watering again.

The younger brother rubbed his stomach, looking somewhat puzzled.

It's strange, I just ate a bowl of meat, why is my stomach growling again?

This younger brother of mine, I'm truly impressed.

[A touch of humor lurks beneath the silence.]

[My little brother is just a gluttonous brat. What did he do wrong? I won't allow you to talk about our gluttonous little brother like that! So what if he only knows how to eat? So what if he's a brainless idiot?!]

[Younger brother: Isn't this still insulting me?]

[Hahaha, you're really stealing bamboo shoots!]

[Younger brother: Weak and pitiful, but he can eat a lot.]

Nanxi's eyes crinkled into a smile as she thought of her own quest: "Of course you can keep eating, but before you do, tell me if you love your sister or not?"

The younger brother's face twitched, and he looked at Nanxi with a strange expression.

Ah... their relationship hasn't gotten to that point yet.

Nanxi pointed to the empty bowl without changing her expression.

Younger brother: "I love you, sister."

[What a wise person to adapt to changing circumstances!]

[Younger brother: What does conscience matter in the face of meat?]

Isn't this a rather sudden change of expression?

【666. 】

Nanxi also noticed the changes on her task panel.

[Instance Quest: Get all your family members to express their love for you (1/5)]

It seems that doing this will allow us to complete the task.

"Can I continue eating meat now?" The younger brother looked over impatiently.

The "older sister" gave a subtle smile, followed by a meaningful smile.

"Of course! You'll not only be able to eat meat, you'll be able to eat your fill."

Inside the kitchen.

Mom was diligently cooking, her gleaming cleaver chopping down again and again, splattering a little scarlet blood with a "thud".

"Knock knock knock!"

Just as the sound of the cleaver continued, Mom saw Nanxi come into the kitchen, holding an empty bowl in her hand.

"Mom, I'm still a little hungry. Can you make me some more meat?"

Nanxi opened her large, clear eyes and looked exceptionally sincere.

Mom paused for a moment, then nodded happily, "Okay, okay, Mom will make you another one!"

Soon, the second bowl of meat was taken in by the younger brother, and then Nanxi came out again.

The third bowl of meat was brought in, and then Nanxi came out again...

"Mommy, I'm hungry, I need some meat."

Mother:"?"

She seemed a little dazed, glancing at the empty bowl, then at the meat, and uttered a profound question: "You ate so fast?"

Did those several large bowls just disappear like that?

Did you eat too fast?

Nanxi paused for a moment, then said, "But I don't know why, I'm just really hungry today. Does that mean I can't eat anymore?"

"No, no, you can eat it."

Mom still remembered Dad's instructions: whenever Grandma and Nanxi wanted to eat meat, she would give it to them, since the meat was always taken from the stairwell, where there was an endless supply of meat.

Mom quickly sped up her cooking again: "Then wait for Mom, Mom will continue to make you meat. As long as you want to eat, Mom will make sure you're full! Now you just focus on eating the meat in your room, and your little brother can bring you the bowl!"

This time, in order to ensure that Nanxi was full, she didn't use bowls to serve the meat, but instead used basins to hold it!

She could see that her younger brother's eyes lit up when he saw the bowl of meat.

Mom specifically warned, "This meat is for Nanxi, you can't steal any!"

The younger brother didn't bother to respond, but just nodded vigorously, his eyes shining as he stared at the meat in front of him, and then carried it into Nanxi's room.

What's the difference between this and throwing a mouse into a rice jar?

[Hilarious! The little brother wasn't eyeing his sister's food; he was eyeing his own!]

Hahahaha!

[Speaking of which, what's going on with this meat? It adds up to fifteen pounds, so why didn't my brother feel anything after eating it?]

Yes, even fifteen liters of water would cause water intoxication.

[This younger brother not only didn't seem to be full, but he actually got hungrier the more he ate. At first, he still had some sense of reason, but later he became a complete eating machine, losing all rationality at the sight of chunks of meat.]

So there's something wrong with this meat.

While her younger brother devoured the meat like a glutton, Nanxi observed the room from the side. Looking down through the window, she could see the surroundings of the neighborhood.

The environment inside the community looks beautiful. If you ignore the wriggling spherical creature below, it's no different from a normal community.

She looked closely.

The skin on the surface of that spherical creature was still wriggling, no longer moving forward by its legs, but by wriggling its entire body.

Nanxi touched her chin, seemingly noticing something, and turned to look at her younger brother who was engrossed in eating meat in the room: "Have you gained weight?"

My younger brother looks much more swollen now compared to yesterday.

"What?"

Since they were eating all-you-can-eat meat today, the younger brother surprisingly paid attention to Nanxi: "How could I gain weight from just one meal?"

He finished the whole bowl of meat again, his eyes gleaming as he rushed out the door, but when he returned this time, he looked utterly dejected.

Nanxi: "What's wrong?"

The younger brother gritted his teeth, saying, "Mom said all the meat she bought this morning has already been cooked, so we'll have to go out and buy more meat this afternoon."

Doesn't that mean he can't eat meat now?

"There's no meat left..."

Nanxi blinked slightly, as if she had accomplished her goal.

After lunch, Mom rushed out again, and Nanxi noticed that this time she was carrying a much bigger bag, muttering to herself, "I must have bought too little meat this morning. I'm going to buy even more meat this afternoon. I'm making sure Nanxi has a good meal."

The door closed.

Nanxi was already standing at the door of her parents' room, reaching out to push the door, but it wouldn't budge.

The door was locked.

Could this possibly stump her?

Nanxi raised an eyebrow, touched a wire, and with a flick of her wrist, she heard a crisp "click" as the door opened.
