Chapter 375: Chapter 376 Mudy Roses

I was very curious, Xiao Yike, like Chu Yuan, didn’t recognize my relationship with Liusu, let alone Mo Fei, who she disliked a lot. So I was very curious when she said that she was my third girlfriend. If she was the third, then who was my first and second girlfriend?

Of course, I would not be stupid enough to ask her such a boring question. Yao Wan’er had already taken her words as a joke. If I really asked her this question, with Xiao Yike’s eloquence, she would tell lies like they were some true facts. Regarding this girl’s personality, I still knew quite well.

Zhu Danchen’s school was a bit remote and there weren’t many public transportations that we could use to get there. After taking three bus routes, we eventually got lost. In the end, we had to stop a taxi and spent 20 yuan to get there. It took us an hour and a half to just look for the place. I was afraid that Zhu Danchen would be too polite and Xiao Yike would be too rude, so I ordered something in the fast-food restaurant in advance to fill our stomachs.

Minx got a bit of motion sickness, so she complained and blamed me for being stingy. Although Yao Wan’er didn’t say anything, the tiredness on her face made me feel a little guilty. But what they did not know was that it was not that I was being stingy. I had to save money in every way possible… After all, because of what Min Rou did, I had spent too much money in the past few days. It had already exceeded my original budget.

“This is the school you have invested in?” Minx stomped hard on the path paved with red bricks, “It’s so dilapidated…”

This time she was unprepared, so I was finally able to smack the back of her head, “It was not an investment, but a donation, because the school conditions were too bad, so I donated the money I got from Zhang Mingjie to this place. You bratty girl, don’t be so rude later on.”

“I know,” Minx rubbed her head and blew out her cheeks, “I’m not stupid, but…” With the change of her tone, Xiao Yike glanced at Yao Wan’er and smiled mischievously at me, “Uncle, you are able to have money to donate to this school because of my help, right? Then shouldn’t you reward me with something?”

Yao Wan’er said strangely, “Because of your help?”

“Don’t listen to her nonsense,” I was startled, but on the surface, I pretended to be calm and frowned at Xiao Yike, “If you stop talking nonsense, I will reward you with a dinner cooked by Yuan Yuan. But if you keep talking nonsense I’ll smack you!”

Because it was very boring on the way here, plus Yao Wan’er and Xiao Yike were also suspecting each other’s identities, so they both chatted with each other seemingly casually, but actually, they both had different intentions. Yao Waner told Xiao Yike the reason why I donated the money to the school, and then Xiao Yike asked me where I got the money from.

Before I even said anything, Yao Wan’er told her about what happened between me and Zhang Mingjie… Because of this, I had been very nervous in the taxi.

Fortunately, Minx didn’t say anything that would expose that she was the person behind that incident in front of Yao Wan’er. But now she even wanted me to reward her?

“Tsk, why does Yuan Yuan need to cook for me? If you are really sincere, you should cook the meal for me yourself…”

“I’m afraid that you won’t like the food cooked by me.”

Xiao Yike didn’t deny it. She smiled and said, “Actually, uncle, I know that even if you smack me, you are doing it for my own good. Hehe, you are trying to protect me…”

This bratty girl…

I knew that Xiao Yike was not a child, and she could see through what I was thinking, but seeing her baby face, I still couldn’t help but say in the tone of lecturing a child, “Protecting you doesn’t mean to spoil you. Blindly indulging you will only harm you…”

Thinking that these words may not have any deterrent effect, I added, “Moreover, I am not your parents, and I don’t have the patience to indulge you, so just this time only. Do you understand?”

Minx was very excited, “You are saying that you forgive me now? ”

“Didn’t you apologize to me?” I pretended to be magnanimous and said, “I’m a very magnanimous and forgiving person…”

Minx walked backward in front of me while facing me. She pouted her lips and said in a complaining tone, “Since you are a very magnanimous and forgiving person, then why didn’t you come to look for me for so many days?”

“Because you didn’t want to admit your mistakes.”

“But I have already asked Yuan Yuan to tell you…”

“Since you were in the wrong, why should I treat you to a seafood meal?” I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“I didn’t want you to treat me to a seafood meal,” Minx said seriously, “I just wanted to tell you indirectly that I know I was in the wrong. If I think that what I did was right, I definitely would not accept your invitation. But if I didn’t decline it, it would definitely mean that I knew what I did was wrong. I just want an opportunity to apologize to you…”

I was completely lost for words.

“That’s… too indirect…”

Minx seemed to be dissatisfied. She said unreasonably, “I’m a girl, okay? Do you want me to go to your flat and apologize to you? I also have dignity. Besides, I was doing it for you. Although what I did was wrong, my motivation was good. For this, you should at least humor me and help me to save my face, right?”

I really didn’t understand a girl’s thoughts, but what she said indeed made me feel a little ashamed of myself, “Okay, okay, I admit that I was in the wrong as well, and what I said that day was too much. No matter what, I shouldn’t treat you that way.”

Minx was clearly not satisfied with my apology, “If you are really sincere, then you need to use your action to prove it. Otherwise, your words mean nothing.”

Just when I wanted to ask her what actions could prove it, Yao Wan’er frowned and said, “Elder Brother Nan, Yike, what are you two talking about?” She was completely confused.

“It’s nothing, hehe. It’s quite boring actually. Last time, I was being disobedient and naughty, it made Elder Brother Nan very angry, so we both had a cold war,” Minx winked at me with a smile and then said to Yao Wan’er, “But now we have made up.”

In other words, it was the end of the cold war… I let out a sigh of relief. Minx was not as stubborn as I thought…

“Huh? Xiao Chu… No, I mean, Mr. Chu? ”

Hearing someone calling me, Yao Wan’er and Xiao Yike were both dazed. Then we all looked at the place where the voice came from. It was a female teacher leading a group of children playing football on the playground. I had seen this teacher before. Last time when I met with Zhu Danchen in the bank, it was this teacher who sent Zhu Danchen to the bank. We also had some tea together later.

Just when I was trying to recall her surname, a thin figure, but obviously taller than the other children, came out of the crowd of children playing football, and rushed towards me quickly.

“Ku’er?” When I was surprised that Ku’er was playing with a group of boys, she had already thrown herself into my arms.

“Elder Brother!”

“Ku’er, you are a girl, why do you play with a bunch of boys? Football is a boy’s game…”

“Who said it?” Xiao Yike looked at Ku’er and habitually interrupted me, “The Chinese men’s football is not as good as the Chinese women’s football. After all, the women’s football team won the World Cup runner-up before, but men’s football couldn’t even win the Asian Cup. Huh! Steel Roses, haven’t you heard of them?”

“Steel Roses, hehe, she now looks like a muddy rose…” I took the tissue that Yao Wan’er handed over, wiped the mud on Kuer’s face, and smiled, “Look how dirty you are.”

After I wiped her face clean, a delicate little face was revealed. It shocked Yao Wan’er beside me, “Wow, what a cute little girl!”
