Chapter 52 Xu Nannan's Provocation

Xiao Taozhi drooped her eyelashes in disappointment.

It turns out it’s not Brother Ji Sui…

The little guy turned his head and continued to draw his own pancake with the branch.

Xu Nannan had been used to being treated like a star by her family since she was little, so she naturally couldn't stand the little guy's cold attitude. She immediately shouted arrogantly: "Hey, clowns."

"Salty pancakes, sweet pancakes..." The little guy seemed not to hear anything and was still concentrating on drawing circles.

Xu Nannan was angry. She put one hand on her waist and seemed to be holding something with the other hand. Her eyes were wide open. "Ugly freak, I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?"

"Are you talking to Zhizhi?" Little Taozhi raised her head, her delicate brows furrowed, and she corrected him earnestly in her baby voice, "But Zhizhi's name is not Ugly Monster, it's Taozhi."

Aunt Yaoyao said Zhizhi is the cutest and smartest child in the entire galaxy! She's definitely not an ugly monster!

Xu Nannan raised her chin proudly, looked at Tao Zhi's small hands covered in dirt, and said with great disgust: "What are you holding in your hands? It's so black and dirty! I really don't know how the little brother is willing to stay with a dirty and ugly thing like you. It's too unfair..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Taozhi retorted angrily, "You're talking nonsense! Brother Ji Sui really likes playing with Zhizhi, so he doesn't feel wronged!"

"Oh? Really?" Xu Nannan covered her lips and smiled, "Then tell me when did little brother ever say that he liked playing with you?"

"I..." Xiao Taozhi stammered and couldn't speak for a long time.

Yes, it seems that Brother Ji Sui has never said that he likes playing with her...

Good little demon, you can't lie.

So little Taozhi was like a wilted bud, with her head drooping weakly and her little fingers twitching.

What Xu Nannan said just now was just her guess. Now looking at the reaction of this clown, she probably got it right. So she became more and more unscrupulous: "So, little brother, play with me now, and never play with you, a clown, again."

"You are lying! Lying is wrong!" Xiao Taozhi said seriously with a stern face.

Grandpa Willow said that the tree that tells lies will have its head pecked by Aunt Woodpecker’s sharp beak!

Xu Nannan's eyes wandered for a moment. She clenched her fingers around the school uniform jacket draped over her shoulders before she confidently replied, "I'm not lying! Look at this jacket I'm wearing. Does it look familiar?"

Xiao Taozhi was stunned, her light eyebrows tightly twisted.

Isn't this Brother Ji Sui's clothes? How come she is wearing it?

"It's a bit chilly tonight, and my little brother was afraid I'd catch a cold, so he took off his coat and put it on me. How about that? Are you envious?"

"No way! Brother Ji Sui wouldn't just give his clothes to strangers!"

The little guy still didn't believe it.

"Look at this, you recognize this, right?"

Xu Nannan pulled out a balloon from behind her fluffy gauze skirt. It had a pattern of Grey Sheep printed on it. It was obviously the one that Tao Zhi had given to Chen Jisui.

Tao Zhi opened his eyes wide in surprise and said hesitantly, "This is the balloon Zhizhi gave to Brother Ji Sui... How did it get here?"

"No wonder the sheep on this balloon is so ugly. It turns out you, a clown, gave it to the little brother!" Xu Nannan looked at the lamb printed on the balloon with disdain. "The little brother thought the balloon was too ugly and wanted to throw it away. I said I liked it, so he gave it to me."

"You're talking nonsense! You...you lied to Little Tree...If you lie, Aunt Woodpecker will peck you on the head!"

The little fellow was so anxious that his face turned red, and his big deer eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and it seemed that he was about to drop golden beans!

How could it be... How could Brother Ji Sui say that the balloons Zhizhi gave him were ugly? And he even wanted to throw them away...

This is Zhizhi's favorite balloon...

Little Taozhi sniffed her pretty little nose, trying hard to hold back her tears. She stretched out her little paw in front of Xu Nannan and said in a nasal voice, "Give the balloon back to Zhizhi..."

"don't want!"

Xu Nannan quickly hid the balloon behind her. Although she really disliked this ugly broken balloon, when she saw the clowns looking so nervous, she suddenly became interested in this ugly balloon.

She just has a habit of stealing other people's things. The more others want or are in urgent need of something, the more she wants to steal it.

The balloon is like this, and the little brother is like this too.

"Little brother has already given me this ugly balloon, so it's mine! I can do whatever I want with it. Even if I want to pop it, you have no right to stop me!"

Xu Nannan held the balloon in one hand and took off her brooch with the other hand, pretending to pop the balloon.

"No!" Xiao Taozhi rushed towards Xu Nannan hurriedly.

But Tao Zhi was much shorter than Xu Nannan. Xu Nannan easily lifted the balloon high above her head, but Tao Zhi couldn't reach it no matter how hard she jumped with her short legs.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.

Xu Nannan didn't hold the string in her hand, and the balloon floated away.

Little Taozhi ran after the balloon in a panic, but tripped and rolled into the pond.

Just as he was about to fall into the pond, the little guy grabbed the vines tightly with both hands and shouted with all his strength: "Help... Help..."

Xu Nannan was so frightened that she stood there for a long time before she reacted. She stretched out her trembling hand to pull Xiao Taozhi up, but she froze halfway.

What if she fails to pull the clowns out and is dragged into the water instead?

And the water in this pond doesn't look shallow at all...

“Help…Help…”

Xiao Taozhi's strength was rapidly depleting, and her cries for help were getting lower and lower. Her feet had already sunk into the water!

Xu Nannan retracted her hand in fear, her voice trembling: "I...I didn't push you! You fell down accidentally...I...I can't save you..."

Almost without looking back, Xu Nannan stumbled into the hall of Nangong Villa, only to run into Chen Jisui head-on.

Xu Nannan was so frightened that she turned around and tried to leave, but was blocked by Chen Jisui. The young man's eyes were frosty and he frowned and asked, "Have you seen Tao Zhi?"

He just went to the bathroom, and when he came back the little guy was gone.

"No...no..." Xu Nannan felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Chen Jisui.

Chen Jisui felt that Xu Nannan was a little strange for a moment, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

His cold gaze fell squarely on the school uniform worn by Xu Nannan. Because she had run back in such a hurry, half of the uniform had fallen off, and only the other half was barely hanging on Xu Nannan's shivering shoulders.

Chen Jisui grabbed his school uniform and said in a cold voice without any warmth: "Why are my clothes here with you?"

"I... I was a little cold at the bathroom door just now, and I saw this piece of clothing so I borrowed it to wear temporarily. I didn't know it was your clothes, little brother!" Xu Nannan tried to calm herself down and said to Chen Jisui with a smile.

Chen Jisui narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly.

Oh.

He wore this clothes all day today and didn't take them off until he went to the bathroom. Now she says she didn't know these were his clothes?

This lie is too crude!

Chen Jisui didn't have time to argue with Xu Nannan about this. His dark eyes fixed on Xu Nannan, and he asked again, word by word, "Where is Tao Zhi?"

Being stared at by someone in front of her made her scalp numb. Xu Nannan stammered, "I just saw someone who looked like her going...towards the central fountain..."

Central fountain...

Chen Jisui quickly searched for this place in his mind, then raised his eyelids and said in a piercingly cold voice, with a hint of threat: "You better not lie to me."

The boy said this and ran towards the central fountain.
