Chapter 274 The Ugly Duckling and the Ugly Goose



After lunch, Yun Mo and Zeng Fang took a short rest and then went home.

Xie Xia looked at the clock on the wall, asked the servant to serve some cold rice and cold dishes, and then took them upstairs.

After knocking on the door for a long time without hearing any response, Xie Xia reached out to turn the doorknob and found that the door was locked.

"Xie Jinghuai, open the door."

"Don't bother me." The boy's annoyed voice came from inside the door.

"I'll count to three. If you don't finish the count, you will suffer the consequences."

1, 2...

As soon as I counted to the third time, the door was opened from the inside.

Xie Jinghuai's childish yet handsome face was full of impatience, "What are you doing?"

Xie Xia walked straight in, put the tray of food on the coffee table, turned around and said, "Let's eat."

"I don't want to eat!"

Xie Jinghuai was obviously still upset about the previous embarrassing incident. He slumped down on the sofa in a bad mood, picked up the black and white handheld game console he was playing halfway through, and continued playing.

"Eat first and then play."

Xie Jinghuai pretended not to hear.

Xie Xia folded her hands, "Don't make me say it a second time."

Xie Jinghuai paused, then threw the game console onto the sofa in anger, "Xie Shaoxia, are you done yet!?"

Xie Xia pulled the corner of her mouth and slowly pressed the knuckles of both hands, "What did you call me?"

Xie Jinghuai kept his face tense and remained silent, with annoyance and regret reflected in his black and white pupils.

Xie Xia was like a boy since she was young. She did not have the gentleness and softness of girls. She often beat boys until they cried. Over time, she got the nickname Shao Xia, which means "young hero".

Xie Xia didn't seem to care on the surface, but Xie Jinghuai knew that his sister actually didn't like being called this nickname.

Put yourself in his shoes. He wouldn't be happy if someone called him a sissy or something like that behind his back.

Xie Xia stepped forward and grabbed his head, "You are so disrespectful. If you do this again, I will punish you."

Xie Jinghuai turned his head away to avoid her action, but the resistance and dissatisfaction on his face faded a lot.

Xie Xia sat on the sofa, picked up Xie Jinghuai's game console and continued playing, saying, "Eat your meal."

Xie Jinghuai picked up the chopsticks and spat it out after taking a bite, "Cold!?"

Xie Xia glanced at him, "If you don't want to eat cold food, don't act like a spoiled brat next time. Do I need to teach you the principle of being a guest? How old are you, and how young are they? You can still laugh at someone who bullies you, Xie Jinghuai, are you ashamed?"

Xie Jinghuai's face flushed red, and he muttered unconvincedly, "I was just joking with her."

"Then I was just joking with you, why are you still angry?"

"The turtle you drew is so ugly."

Xie Xia smiled and said, "This is not your first time, so you may not be very skilled. I think you will be able to draw well after a few more times. Do you want to try?"

Xie Jinghuai: “…”

He threw away his chopsticks, "I don't eat cold food."

"That's all we have. If you don't eat it, there will be nothing left. Go hungry."

"Tell the servant to take it down and heat it up."

"You need to turn on the stove to heat up the meal, which wastes gas. Just bear with it. You can have a hot meal in the evening."

Xie Jinghuai glared in frustration, "Are you still my sister? You are my enemy, and you are deliberately making things difficult for me!"

Xie Xia glanced at him and said, "I am teaching you how to be a good person."

Seeing Xie Jinghuai's face full of dissatisfaction, Xie Xia put down the game console in her hand and her expression became serious and solemn.

"At home, your parents will spoil you, and I will also indulge you, but outside, no one will spoil you. You must think twice before doing anything, and know when to stop. After you eat this bowl of cold rice, remember what I said to you today."

Xie Jinghuai reluctantly picked up the bowl, picked up the chopsticks and ate bit by bit.

Xie Xia picked up the game console and continued playing, "After dinner, I'll give you a gift."

"You'll know after dinner."

Seeing that Xie Jinghuai had quickened his eating speed, Xie Xia curled her lower lip imperceptibly.

"I'm done."

Looking at the empty bowl, Xie Xia stood up with satisfaction and said, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"Look at your gift."

When Xie Jinghuai saw the two furry little geese in the makeshift nest made of bamboo baskets and straw on the roof, he was stunned for a long time.

"Is this the gift you mentioned?"

Xie Xia bent down and picked up a gosling, stuffing it into Xie Jinghuai's arms, "How cute, they will be yours to raise from now on."

“…”

Before Xie Jinghuai could say anything, his palm suddenly felt hot. He looked down and found that the goose had pooped on his hand.

"It actually pooped, how disgusting! Take it away quickly!!"

Xie Jinghuai yelled angrily.

Xie Xia suppressed her laughter and put the goose back into the nest, saying confidently, "What's so strange about pooping? Don't you poop?"

Xie Jinghuai turned around and left with a cold face.

As soon as he returned to the room, Xie Jinghuai rushed into the bathroom to wash his hands.

After washing three times in a row, Xie Jinghuai lowered his head and smelled his palms. It was the smell of soap, but he still felt disgusted. He picked up the soap and continued to rub his palms, wishing he could rub off a layer of skin from his palms.

After washing his hands, Xie Jinghuai ran to Xie Xia's room angrily, "I won't help you raise those two ducks!"

Xie Xia turned around and corrected, "It's a goose."

"Whatever it is, I won't help you raise them. If you want to raise them, then raise them. If you don't want to raise them, then throw them away."

"It would be a shame to throw them away. They are meat after all. I'll ask the servants to stew them and feed them to Superman tonight."

Xie Jinghuai was shocked and incredulous, "Are you sick? How big are they?"

Xie Xia shrugged helplessly, "Anyway, I never raise these furry things. Since you are unwilling to raise them, then I can only let them become Superman's food, so as not to waste my friend's kindness."

Xie Jinghuai was so angry that he ran away.

After returning to his room, Xie Jinghuai picked up the game console to vent his anger, but finally he couldn't help it and ran to the top floor.

“Chirp, chirp.”

Maybe they were hungry or feeling uneasy in the unfamiliar environment, but the two little geese were walking back and forth in the bamboo basket, looking so cute.

The resistance and indifference on Xie Jinghuai's face slowly dissipated, replaced by curiosity.

He has loved furry animals such as cats and dogs since he was a child. He raised a cat when he was very young and loved it so much that he even hugged it when he slept. As a result, he crushed the kitten to death when it was only one month old.

He was sad for a long time. In order to comfort him, his sister Xie Xia brought back a husky puppy for him.

After a while, the servant came up with chopped ryegrass and water. Seeing him observing the goslings, he smiled and reminded him, "Master, why don't you give them a name?"

Xie Jinghuai took the ryegrass from the servant and asked casually while feeding the goslings, "Where did these two little guys come from?"

"It was given by a young lady who visited our house today. She said that the geese were hatched by the family, and she couldn't raise so many, so she gave two to the eldest young lady to raise."

"Is it the sister who takes care of the child?"

"Yes."

Xie Jinghuai's eyes rolled and he had an idea, "From now on, let's call them Xiaoqiu and Xiaoyue."

The ugly duckling and the ugly goose are just right to be sisters.

I had to go out today for something, and I was stuck in writing, so I barely wrote one chapter tonight. I will try to update more tomorrow. Good night      (End of this chapter)
