130: You even know what I drink?

Isn't it just occasional snacks? The amount is quite large, isn't it?

Hearing Qin Jiang say that, Xiong Deyong immediately looked at Xiao Ming.

And Xiao Ming's face instantly changed.

"Xiao Ming, is what Dr. Qin said true?"

Xiao Ming's heart skipped a beat, unsure how to answer.

When a parent calls you by your full name, that's usually a dangerous sign.

Xiao Ming stammered, "I... I really only eat them occasionally."

Seeing that Xiao Ming wasn't telling the truth, Qin Jiang calmly said, "That's not right. If you only ate them occasionally, how could you have a loss of appetite?"

"With the small amount of regular meals you eat daily, wouldn't you feel hungry?"

"Also, you've probably had trouble going to the bathroom lately, haven't you? That's due to too many snacks causing internal heat, leading to constipation from dry intestines."

As soon as Xiong Deyong heard Qin Jiang say that, he immediately believed him.

"I knew it! That's why you've been in the bathroom for two hours these past two days! So it was because you ate too many snacks!"

"You little rascal, tell me, where did you get so many snacks!"

Seeing Xiao Ming's face turn pale with fright, the netizens in the live stream immediately burst into laughter.

"It has to be Dr. Qin; he has this brat completely under his thumb."

"This brat probably never expected Dr. Qin to casually reveal all his recent symptoms."

"So, does eating too many snacks really cause constipation as Dr. Qin said?"

"That's true, because most of those snacks have a lot of additives, so children who like to eat snacks generally find regular meals tasteless, leading to a loss of appetite."

"Once they eat too many snacks, they are very prone to constipation. Just like when my younger sister loved mooncakes as a child; there was one time she ate a lot of mooncakes when our family wasn't paying attention, and as a result, she got constipated and couldn't go, which made her cry."

The composition of snacks and regular meals is quite different.

Many things in snacks are a heavy burden on the stomach and intestines.

Therefore, children who like to eat snacks usually don't have very good digestive systems.

Facing Xiong Deyong's questioning, Xiao Ming could only brace himself and say, "I... I sometimes save my bus fare, so I have money to buy snacks."

Xiong Deyong immediately understood upon hearing this.

The only regular cash Xiao Ming would handle was his bus fare.

Because Xiong Deyong was busy with work and also wanted to cultivate Xiao Ming's independence.

So Xiong Deyong would give him a sum of money every week for him to top up his bus card and go to school himself.

Their home was three kilometers from the school, neither too far nor too close, and it took about ten minutes by bus.

Therefore, Xiong Deyong was quite at ease with Xiao Ming commuting to and from school by himself every day; after all, he was already a big child, and there were surveillance cameras along the way.

However, Xiong Deyong never expected Xiao Ming to be so motivated just to eat snacks.

"So, you walk to and from school every day?"

Xiong Deyong was a bit surprised.

No wonder Xiao Ming always left early and returned late; it was to avoid being late!

But even so, it required considerable perseverance.

After all, walking every day, enduring the morning dew, through all four seasons, come rain or shine, was simply not something a child his age could typically do.

For a moment, Xiong Deyong truly didn't know what to say about Xiao Ming.

If you say he's gluttonous, he's actually quite persistent.

It's just that his persistence wasn't used in the right place.

If he had put this effort into studying, he would probably be in the top ten of his grade by now, and wouldn't be last in the class every time he took an exam!

He thought he was about to get away with it.

Who knew Qin Jiang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and calmly continued, "That's not right. Even if you save two yuan in bus fare every day, how many snacks can you buy with two yuan?"

"Judging by your current physical condition, you've completely replaced regular meals with snacks. Your daily spending on snacks must be more than that."

As soon as Qin Jiang said this, Xiao Ming's face turned ugly again.

His gaze towards Qin Jiang became very complex for a moment.

There was resentment, dissatisfaction, and also pleading and fear.

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Jiang spoke, Xiong Deyong, who was already prepared to let the matter go, once again darkened his face.

"Tell me, what exactly is going on? Explain it to me properly!"

Seeing Xiong Deyong's attitude, Xiao Ming knew he definitely couldn't get away with it.

He could only brace himself and say, "I... I sometimes help my classmates swipe their meal cards. I help them buy food, and they use their cards to help me buy snacks at the convenience store."

As soon as Xiao Ming said this, Xiong Deyong was so angry his lungs almost exploded.

Their school had two types of meal cards: one that could only be used to buy food, and a general one that could be used both in the cafeteria and at the convenience store to buy things.

Now, Xiao Ming and his classmate were swapping cards to use, which meant he must have reached some kind of agreement with his classmate.

For example, he would help swipe ten yuan worth of food, and the classmate would only need to help him swipe eight yuan worth of snacks.

This kid, he could even come up with such a trick for snacks; I've been treating him too much like a child!

Slap!

Xiong Deyong slapped Xiao Ming hard across the face, furious.

"How many times have I told you that eating snacks is bad for your health!"

"I knew it! I wondered why you seemed malnourished all year, always complaining about eye pain or neck pain, turns out you've been eating snacks every day!"

"What else are you hiding from me? Tell me everything honestly!"

Xiao Ming covered his face, tears instantly streaming down.

For many things, Xiong Deyong actually turned a blind eye and generally didn't discipline Xiao Ming.

This led to Xiao Ming's lawless and domineering personality.

But when Xiao Ming touched Xiong Deyong's bottom line, he would still get a beating.

For example, replacing regular meals with snacks was something Xiong Deyong explicitly forbade and emphasized repeatedly.

Judging from Xiong Deyong's eyes now, Qin Jiang felt that Xiao Ming would definitely get a good beating when he went home today.

Xiao Ming cried, "No more, really no more."

"I swear, I've told you absolutely everything I have to say!"

Xiong Deyong ignored Xiao Ming and looked at Qin Jiang first.

Qin Jiang feigned surprise and said, "Little Girl, how can you swear so casually? What if it really comes true?"

"Actually, your snack eating is still okay; the most critical thing is that you like to drink cola."

"At least three bottles a day, right?"

"The reason you feel dizzy and weak is because you drank too much cola, which caused hypokalemia. This is a very serious condition and must be taken seriously."

"Don't drink cola anymore. If you absolutely must, one bottle every two days is enough, in moderation."

Xiao Ming looked at Qin Jiang with a terrified expression.

This doctor even knew how many bottles of cola he usually drank?

This was too outrageous!

Xiong Deyong was so angry that he directly pulled out his belt and started disciplining Xiao Ming on the spot!
