With Ming's guidance, Tofu learned a lot of tricks and was proficient in bowling. Surprisingly after she understood how to play it she started enjoying it. Soon, Tofu also started hitting eight or nine hits per balls making her super happy.
"Brother Ming, isn't Tofu amazing?" She happily jumped up and down after hitting a complete ten and asked for praises from Ming.
Unable to reject her Ming stretched his hand and patted her head softly making her smile widely.
After playing for a whole day both of them returned back home. Since Tofu had used up most of her physical strength she was quite exhausted and slept quickly after coming back home.
Mother Jiang had a habit of checking everything again before sleeping. While she was roaming she noticed the light of the study room was turned on. Thinking that children's must-have forgotten to turn it off she walked towards the study room.
Since Ming was now in middle school and Tofu in primary school their buildings were separated from each other.Earlier they only had their classrooms on different floors or even if it was in different buildings they were beside each other. Now, the buildings for both of them had changed and separated by the whole campus."Brother Ming, did you finish your assignment?" Tofu saw Ming writing his assignments till yesterday midnight making her worry if he was able to finish his work on time.She would absolutely feel bad and guilty if her brother Ming would lose his all time first rank because of taking her to the game area.Ming smiled gently and patted her shoulders, "I had finished it long ago. You don't need to worry, your brother Ming is smart."Tofu quickly smiled brightly and waved her fist in the air, "Yes my Brother Ming is smart."---"Tofu..." B
The school finished within a blink of an eye. During lunch, Tofu did not go to the canteen, she simply sat inside the classroom saying she was not hungry and had eaten during the class was going on.Barbie and Shen Yi knew she had a habit of eating during class due to her large appetite. They did not feel anything wrong and left to have their own lunch boxes. Tofu caressed her stomach and drank water while thinking it is some tasty soup. No matter how much her stomach protested she closed her eyes and relied on her imagination.Their first day was finished and similarly, a week passed by. During this week, Tofu would not have lunch with everyone and make some or other excuses. Even though Mu Yan Mei did not tease or ridicule Tofu any further, the whole class would call her fat behind her back. Naturally, she felt hurt.Sometimes she would go to the toilet and cry before coming out. After all, it was her own mistake that she was fat.
Now that Ming was in middle school and Tofu was in primary school she had to come back home alone. Ming would have self-study classes after school. To not waste her time Ming asked her to go back home and take rest.Where can Tofu take rest? She was busy trying to find different ways to lose weight.In the morning she would eat less saying she feels greasy, at lunch, she will have different excuses and at night she would eat before Ming comes. To quicken the speed of losing the weight she also coupled her dieting with exercise.Earlier she would only exercise during the day, now that she was being ridiculed, she started doing it two times. Once in the morning while later after coming back from school.One morning, Ming went to wake her up as usual. Ming noticed some unusualness in her face.Since it was more than a week Tofu had started losing weight the effects which were not visible were now clearly visib
Since Shen Yi was looking at Tofu from the moment she picked up the books he was also the first one to notice when she fell down.Quickly running towards her Shen Yi straightened her body, he sat down on the ground with his legs folded and adjusted Tofu's head on his lap.Touching her face and patting her cheeks Shen Yi called her name. He touched her hands followed by her feet. They were cold, like ice-cold making him frown.Everyone else was a minute late than Shen Yi. Even the teacher was just standing and only reacted when Shen Yi called her out loud.Quickly running to Tofu's side she asked anxiously, "What happened?"Following her even Barbie ran to them, nervously asking, "What happened to Tofu? Tofu" She started calling out loud to Tofu who was not responding and lying without any motion."Quick, call emergency!" Shen Yi shouted towards the teacher.
The principal was also informed about the matter and was just about to call the parents after Tofu was taken by the hospital.
Soon the ambulance reached the hospital. The emergency doctor fed some sugar in Tofu's mouth on the way making her feel better.After reaching the hospital Tofu was injected with infusion laid with nutrition and Ming was arranged to stay with her in the ward.
As soon as Tofu shouted Pain, Ming's hand stopped midway. Frowning, he again helped her to lie down.Ming then took a cotton ball and dipped it in water. Taking the ball closer to her lips, Ming dabbed it on her dry, crusty lips.
Tofu felt sad hearing Ming apologizing to her. In her eyes, her Brother Ming was the best. He was omnipotent, he was intelligent, he was a great chef, he was an amazing tutor and whatnot.Tofu knew, her Brother Ming always tried to be best because he did not like being the second or third. He never followed the crowd and made his own way out.
