Chapter 8 Bullying Children

Isn't it common knowledge that fish have bones?

Of course, if there are nitpickers who insist that fish have no bones, they can name several reasons.

But those are not the fish you often see on the table.

So at this moment, when Yin Jiu heard the phrase "fish have bones", his first reaction was, isn't this nonsense?

It was a little funny, Yin Jiu said jokingly: "You don't want me to help you pick out the fish bones, do you?"

Is it not possible?

Ning Changyue looked up.

Yin Jiu was speechless again.

The two looked at each other, and Yin Jiu was sure from his serious look that the kid really had this idea.

Don't be ridiculous. Yin Jiu has never been a considerate person. He would not even consider such a request, let alone agree to it.

After staring at each other in silence for a few seconds, Yin Jiu wanted to see how long it would take this kid to realize that his idea was unrealistic.

However, a few seconds later, it was Yin Jiu who was defeated first.

Generally speaking, when asking someone to do something for you, you either have to act pitiful or act cute.

But Ning Changyue was not like that. The look in his eyes had nothing to do with pity or pleading. Instead, it was a sense of entitlement.

Yes, it's natural.

But it's not the kind of princess-like high-handedness, but the kind of...

You go to feed a cute cat or puppy, but it refuses to eat and looks at you with a proud and cold eye. You coax it humbly for a long time before it condescends to take a bite. After it finishes eating, it still complains about the food. Not only do you not get angry, you even feel happy in a sly way.

Now, this is how Ning Changyue makes Yin Jiu feel. Isn't it natural for her to pick out a fish bone for him? Is there any need to ask?

You don't want to? It's up to you. I won't eat it then.

Yin Jiu found it funny. Where did this kid get the confidence that he would do what he wanted?

With a sneer, Yin Jiu stood up, fetched a new plate, pulled over the fish, and skillfully picked out the fish bones with chopsticks.

Yin Jiu felt that he was also indebted. If the child begged him and looked at him pitifully, he would probably remain indifferent. Who dared to let him serve him, no matter what his status was?

But he didn't.

Yin Jiu, a man of rebellious character, actually fell for it and no one knew what was wrong with him.

When it comes to eating fish, Yin Jiu feels that he is quite professional. He knows exactly which parts have the fewest bones and can remove the belly meat and the meat from the fish spine in no time.

Putting down his chopsticks, Yin Jiu moved the plate away, and his sight also moved away with the plate.

Ning Changyue looked over with some confusion.

Yin Jiu asked casually, "Do you want to eat?"

The child looked at him steadily and did not answer.

"Tell me, do you want to eat? If you don't tell me, you won't get anything to eat." Yin Jiu threatened.

Isn't it possible to communicate normally? If you want to eat, just say so and fight for it yourself.

Do you really think you can get anything for nothing?

After a while, probably realizing that he was serious, Ning Changyue slowly said, "I want to eat."

Yin Jiu asked: "What do you want to eat?"

This time, as soon as he asked, Ning Changyue answered obediently, "I want to eat fish."

He is being too well behaved at this moment.

Yin Jiu chuckled and pushed the plate of boneless fish in front of Ning Changyue, and even handed him a pair of chopsticks out of attentive service.

Ning Changyue eats slowly and seriously, as if she is savoring each bite in her mouth.

So watching him eat is quite a pleasant thing.

As they watched and ate, the system, which had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Do you like this type?"

Yin Jiu glanced over, his eyes full of "Are you kidding me?"

"It seems like you are quite patient with him." The system really thinks so.

Yin Jiu thought that the system should go see an ophthalmologist. What kind of look? Even if he had no moral bottom line, he would not like a child who had not grown up. Not to mention liking him, this type of child was not in his mate selection criteria at all.

It's not that I have any prejudice against people with character flaws, I just simply don't like people who are nosy.

He is afraid of trouble, very afraid.

Of course, there was no need to tell the system about these things. Yin Jiu explained half-truthfully: "You think too much. I just think we have a connection. His name is similar to mine."

The system is confused. The names are similar, but how are they similar?

Don't lie to me. Are Jiu and Changyue similar in any way?

However, Yin Jiu showed no intention of clarifying the mystery.

He watched Ning Changyue slowly finish the plate of fish, leaving nothing behind, not even the rice-sized crumbs were wasted.

Yin Jiu did not feel the joy of being cherished for his efforts, but instead felt inexplicably irritated. He glanced at the sports watch on his wrist and called his boss to settle the bill.

After paying, Yin Jiu stood up and said, "Do you know how to get back? Just go out here and turn your head and you'll be there. It's getting late, I'll go back first. These..."

He looked at the remaining food on the table and said nonchalantly, "If you want to continue eating, then eat. If you don't want to eat, that's up to you."

After saying that, he left without staying any longer.

He walked quickly without looking back.

So she didn't see it. As soon as he left, Ning Changyue immediately stood up and followed him for a few steps, but when she found that he had no intention of waiting, she slowly stopped.

He stood there and stared in the direction where Yin Jiu left for a long time. When he realized that the other party would really not come back, he slowly walked back.

But when he returned, he saw only an empty table that had been cleaned.

The boss of the late-night snack shop was wiping the table with a rag. When he saw him coming back, he showed a somewhat surprised expression, and then said guiltily: "Hey, why are you back? Sorry, I thought you guys didn't want to eat anymore. What happened? Come, I'll give you a bottle of drink. I'm sorry. How about this, next time you come to eat, I'll give you a 10% discount."

A bottle of juice was pressed into his hand.

The table was wiped clean and the boss quickly asked the new customer waiting at the side to sit down.

Ning Changyue lowered her head and stared at the juice in her hand in a daze.

It was very strange. The boss was obviously very nice and apologized sincerely. He even gave him a bottle of juice, which was the kind Yin Jiu had just ordered. But Ning Changyue just felt unhappy.

But Ning Changyue couldn't tell why she was unhappy.

He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to slowly walk towards the bar with the juice.

After he walked away, the helper of the late-night snack shop whispered to his colleagues: "The boss is really wicked. He bullies children here."

The free bottle of drink was ordered by someone else and was not taken away.

…

Yin Jiu punched in for a few more days perfunctorily.

As the time for the party drew closer, he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Instead, the system lost its patience and asked several questions.

Tired of being asked, Yin Jiu finally took action.

He logged into his long-unused chat account and looked through the various group chat messages that had accumulated over time.

As expected, I saw the Versailles remarks made by Luxury Car Guy in the high school classmate group.

To sum up, I recently got my driver's license and want to buy a car. Do you classmates have any practical car recommendations? Oh, my family is planning to buy me a XX brand car. What do you think of this car?

Young people in their twenties are impatient and find it hard not to share good things when they get them.

This is human nature.

Yin Jiu clicked on Haochege’s profile and found that he had added him as a friend before, which made things easier.

First send a red envelope, then send a message: Congratulations, brother, you are about to get a car, let me share in your good luck. I hope I can get my driver’s license this month.

After a while, the luxury car guy replied: Are you also taking the driving test?

Two seconds later, another message was added: Thanks, brother.

After typing this sentence, I received the red envelope.

He is a particular person.

Yin Jiu chatted with him for several rounds about the driver's license test, complimenting him and asking for advice. As brothers, their relationship seemed to have become closer. Yin Jiu asked when he could pick up the car, and Luxury Car Brother told him the specific time and invited Yin Jiu to get together the next day.

Of course Yin Jiu readily agreed. By the time he closed the chat interface, he had already successfully obtained the time and location, as well as a personal invitation from the initiator.

The system watched him perform quietly, and when he finished, it asked, "Have you thought of this method a long time ago? Aren't you afraid that it won't work?"

"How could it not be successful?" Yin Jiu smiled and said, "An old classmate who has always been cold to you suddenly sends you a message, calls you brother affectionately, and gives you money. Is this a big contrast? Is it great? Can you refuse him to support you?"

It doesn’t matter if the relationship is not good. When you are undecided, send red envelopes first.

The membership fees have been collected, so it would be unreasonable not to invite them.

What's more, he is a bargaining chip that comes right to your doorstep.

At that time, the other party only needs to pretend to sigh casually to old classmates: That Yin Jiu, he usually ignores people and pretends to be cool every day, but as soon as he saw that I bought a luxury car, he immediately sent me a message. This person, once he comes into contact with the colorful world outside, he becomes impure.

This sounds really cool, so Yin Jiu is not worried about failure at all.

Of course, even if he really failed, Yin Jiu wouldn't care.

At worst, I can find out the time and address and go there and pretend to meet him by chance. I can't just chase him away, right?

To put it bluntly, if a person becomes shameless, he will find that the difficulties in this world are reduced by at least half.

After dismissing the system, Yin Jiu quickly went back to concentrating on studying his data.

The system felt a little frustrated when seeing his arrogant look as if he had everything under control.

It sincerely hoped that he would receive a severe lesson in the future, preferably one with a bloody head.

I hope he won’t cry too hard when that time comes!
