☆, Chapter 42: Gently Kissed Her Face
"That's right, I lost this time, but that doesn't mean I'll lose again! I'll go back and practice martial arts and calligraphy! I'll definitely beat you next time!"
Young Master Chen turned to leave, but then suddenly turned back and said to Zhou Mujiao, "Miss Zhou, you must remember my feelings for you, and I will show you my transformation! Just watch and see, don't be fooled by this Zhao fellow! Even if you don't like me, there are plenty of people outside who are better than Zhao Yunjing, so don't rush to make a decision!"
Young Master Chen lost a fight and a calligraphy contest, but instead of flying into a rage or chopping off someone's hands or feet, he went back and worked hard to improve himself.
Is it that Young Master Chen no longer wants to be a lazy good-for-nothing and has changed his ways, wanting to become a good person with ambition?
Zhou Mujiao was also a little confused.
She beat him up the time before last, and she used him as a shield last time. Today he lost so badly again. Normal people should hate her to the bone at this time, but Young Master Chen is getting more and more interested in her.
Ah, this...
Young Master Chen's thought process is truly extraordinary!
The onlookers watched Zhou Mujiao and the others discuss for a while, and when they saw that there was no more excitement to watch, they soon dispersed. Zhao Yunjing looked left and right, his handsome brows furrowed.
Zhou Mujiao also looked left and right: "What's wrong?"
The tea stall owner's son silently took it out of his book bag, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Zhao Yunjing: "Brother Zhao, is this what you're looking for?"
Zhao Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
He opened the oil paper package, and the aroma of roast chicken wafted through the air. Zhou Mujiao had already eaten a lot and wasn't hungry at all. But when she smelled this aroma, she felt that she could finish the whole roast chicken by herself.
Needless to say, even though we had plenty of food and drink at home during the fifth and sixth days of the Lunar New Year, with meat and eggs every day, we had never tasted anything as delicious as roast chicken.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Wu's heroic spirit began to emerge: "Boss, bring me a pot of tea! Brother Xiao Ran, come and eat some roast chicken! My brother-in-law is treating us to roast chicken!"
Zhao Yunjing's face burned and ears turned red from being called "brother-in-law" again. He didn't know what to do with his hands and feet, so he silently asked the tea stall owner for water to wash his hands and a few teacups. Then he tore the roast chicken into small pieces with his bare hands and kept stuffing chicken into the mouths of Chu Liu, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Ran.
"Brother Zhao!"
"ah?"
He suddenly turned his face, and his lips immediately touched Zhou Mujiao's face.
Zhao Yunjing was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and Zhou Mujiao was also taken aback.
This is like something out of an idol drama, and it actually happened to her!
Oh dear, what do we do now? What do we do now?!
Is she going to take the initiative, pin the man down, force a kiss, and declare her ownership?!
At that moment, her clothes tightened, forcing her to lower her head.
He met a pair of deep, cold eyes. The owner of those eyes was a child, Xiao Wu, who was seven years old.
Xiao Wu pressed Zhou Mujiao down to sit at the table and handed her a chicken leg: "Sister, eat chicken, close your eyes and don't look."
Zhou Mujiao silently closed her eyes and ate the chicken.
The next moment, Chu Liu screamed, "Xiao Wu, why did you hit my older brother?!"
Xiao Wu beats Zhao Yun Jing?
Zhou Mujiao quickly opened her eyes, and sure enough, Xiao Wu's little fists were landing on Zhao Yunjing. He was weak and not very strong, but his punches were hitting the flesh with a dull thud. His face was gloomy and his eyes were as cold as a wolf that had just come out of the deep forest.
Zhao Yunjing reacted quickly after being hit twice. He didn't back down or fight back, but just stood there and let Xiao Wu hit him.
But Xiao Wu's condition was clearly not right.
Zhao Yunjing grabbed his hand, and Zhou Mujiao also dropped her chicken leg and hugged him: "Xiao Wu? Xiao Wu!!"
Xiao Wu struggled desperately, but Zhou Mujiao simply hugged him tightly, holding his head and gently patting his back with both hands: "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu..."
After a while, Xiao Wu finally burst into tears, sobbing, "He bullied my sister! You're not allowed to bully my sister!"
Did Zhao Yunjing bully Zhou Mujiao?
Zhou Mujiao recalled the idol drama-like close contact from earlier and realized that Xiao Wu had misunderstood, thinking that Zhao Yunjing was deliberately taking advantage of her.
But how should we explain this?
Zhao Yunjing realized what had happened and immediately blushed. He stammered, "Xiao Wu, I... no, I didn't mean to."
"You did it on purpose! I called him 'brother-in-law,' and you beat Young Master Chen again! Now you think my sister is yours! That you can bully her! No! Xiao Wu won't allow it! No!"
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
Chu Liu is a die-hard fan of Zhao Yun Jing. In his heart, everything Zhao Yun Jing does is right and he is a hero. But now he is being pointed at and scolded by Xiao Wu!
On the sixth day of the lunar month, Chu Liu was furious. He threw down the chicken bones and yelled at Xiao Wu, "You wicked Xiao Wu! My older brother saved your sister! When your grandmother buried you alive, it was my older brother who saved you! You eat and live in our house, and my older brother even asked us to take care of you and make you happy! But you insulted my older brother! You ingrate! You're not human! Big brother! Let's go! We don't want Xiao Wu anymore!"
Children's words are innocent, yet they can be the most hurtful. Xiao Wu turned pale after being told off by Chu Liu and burst into tears on the spot. She grabbed Zhou Mujiao and cried out, "Sister, let's go! Let's live by the roadside! Let's live in the mountains! Let's live in front of our parents' graves! Let's not live at the Zhao family's house anymore! Sister, I'll protect you! Let's go! Let's go now!"
"No Xiao Wu!"
"I won't stay at the Zhao family's house!"
"Walk!"
"Walk!"
The two children stared at each other like two calves; if they had horns, they would have been butting heads by now.
Zhou Mujiao and Zhao Yunjing exchanged a glance, a tacit understanding instantly forming between them.
Zhao Yunjing picked up Chu Liu with one hand and stuffed him into Zhou Mujiao's arms, while supporting Xiao Wu with the other hand and walked away.
Xiao Wu was suspended in mid-air, stunned for a moment before she reacted: "Put me down! Sister! Sister, save me! Zhao Yun Jing, I hate you! I won't let my sister follow you! Sister! Sister, save me!"
There was an alley ahead. Zhao Yunjing carried him inside, put him down, and his tall body blocked the only way out.
A huge shadow loomed over him, and Xiao Wu felt so oppressed he could hardly breathe. He took a few steps back, his back pressed against the wall, his voice trembling: "What, what do you want? Let me out! Sister! Sister, save me!"
"Didn't you say you were going to protect your older sister? Now you're asking your older sister to save you? Can your older sister even save you?"
Zhao Yunjing pressed closer, casting Xiao Wu into his shadow. A chilling smile crept across his lips as he reached down and grabbed Xiao Wu's forehead.
"You think you can yell at me and say you disagree, and I'll listen to you? Are your fists bigger than mine? Or can you beat me? You think you can protect your sister just by shouting that you want to protect her? I don't think you can even protect yourself!"
Xiao Wu fought back fiercely.
He kicked with both legs, but they weren't long enough to reach Zhao Yunjing. He angrily clenched his small fists and swung them out, but his fists weren't long enough to hit Zhao Yunjing at all!
He tried to jump up and scratch, but Zhao Yunjing exerted a little force, and he felt as if he were being crushed by three mountains, unable to jump up no matter what.
"Let me go! I challenge you to a duel!" Xiao Wu's expression was sinister.
Zhao Yunjing scoffed: "Someone like you has no right to talk to me about a duel."
There's a low little house in front, probably used for storing miscellaneous items. It looks newly built, with new tiles.
Zhao Yunjing picked up Xiao Wu and put him on the roof of the small house, saying indifferently, "If you want to duel with me, come down from up there first."
