Chapter 40 The Annoying Young Master
Chapter 40 The Annoying Young Master
Xiao Jiangci fell asleep by the bedside, holding Xiao Shenxi's hand.
In her dream, Xiao Shenxi felt wild dogs chasing her and gnawing at her hand. She was so frightened that she woke up with a start. Before she could see clearly, she felt her hand first.
This little rascal was actually nibbling on her hand.
Xiao Shenxi gritted her teeth as she looked at the child lying by the bed, fast asleep with her hand in his arms.
She clenched her fists, ready to punch him.
Just then, the child, frowning, mumbled in his sleep, "Brother..."
Xiao Shenxi's clenched fist loosened unintentionally.
Forget it, so be it.
Lying down in this position, Xiao Shenxi stared blankly at the ceiling.
She remembered that Uncle He Kuang had come to call Li Zhi Uncle today, and her expression became flustered.
Have a lot of bad people appeared here lately? Uncle Li Zhi and the others seem very... complicated.
It wasn't until later, when Shen Xi recalled all of this, that she understood the desolation and tragedy in their expressions at the time.
Xiao Shenxi was lost in thought, her eyes fixed on something, and didn't notice that the little puppy beside her was slowly waking up.
Xiao Jiang woke up feeling a little down. He dreamt that he was in a huge house with lots of delicious food, as well as many mecha models, children's race cars...
But when I woke up, all of that had turned into bubbles and been blown away.
诶!
He sighed in a serious manner.
This caught Xiao Shenxi's attention, and she looked up to see the little boy resting his chin on his hands, looking lost and forlorn.
She scoffed inwardly, "The arrogant young master."
Xiao Shenxi knew from the first time she met Xiao Jiangci that he came from a prominent family.
The first time she saw him wasn't in the cold storage room, but in Yunxiaxiang.
At that time, it was the off-season for tourism in Yunxia Lake, and there were very few people coming and going. There was only one elegant and beautiful woman wearing a straw hat, taking a boat with her child to play on the lake. The little boy was very well-behaved, and someone was holding an umbrella for him behind him. He sat in a safe place, enjoying the breeze and sunshine.
This beautiful woman offered a lot of money, which attracted many people to do things for her. She also had a bodyguard following closely behind her.
Xiao Shenxi bumped into him by chance at the corner, lowered her eyes and left. There was never a shortage of wealthy people coming to visit this place.
The onlookers were whispering among themselves, saying that the young master on the boat had a single piece of clothing worth a year's salary for an ordinary person.
Xiao Shenxi picked up the discarded bottles from the ground and quickly walked away; she had long since become numb to these words.
Until later, on that hot noon.
Xiao Shenxi accidentally stumbled upon the young master being kidnapped by two bad guys. She didn't want to get involved; she only wanted to stay away from them and protect herself.
Unfortunately, she was discovered.
This is why Xiao Shenxi doesn't want to see him; running into him is really bad luck!
She originally intended to escape on her own, regardless of whether he lived or died.
But later, when the young master was willing to go hungry himself and give her the chocolate, she hesitated.
So she asked him if his family was rich.
If he answers that he has money, she will take him out with her; if he answers that he doesn't, she won't care whether he lives or dies.
The young master is an honest person.
"Brother, brother..." Xiao Jiangci waved her little hand in front of Xiao Shenxi for a long time, but she didn't come to her senses.
The little guy got a bit anxious and kept shouting, like Tang Sanzang chanting scriptures.
Xiao Shenxi impatiently covered his mouth: "What are you shouting for? It's so noisy!"
"Mmm...mmm..." Xiao Jiangci blinked, shook his head, and pointed to the hand covering his little mouth.
Xiao Shenxi let go, covered herself with the blanket, and didn't want to pay attention to him.
But Jiang Ci has recently become very shameless. Even if Shen Xi ignores him, he can still pull her aside and talk to himself for a long time, just like a little chatterbox.
He took off his little shoes, huffed and puffed as he climbed onto the bed, lifted the other half of the blanket, and lay down.
"Brother, brother..."
Xiao Jiangci lay in bed, pulling Xiao Shenxi's hand with a smug expression.
Look, I've lain down here too!
"Why do you keep holding my hand? It's so annoying." Xiao Shenxi tried to pull her hand back.
As a result, Xiao Jiangci used all his strength to cling to her with both hands and feet, refusing to get off.
Xiao Shenxi was furious and forcibly removed his legs from her waist. Just as she was about to touch his hands...
Little Jiang Ci rolled her big eyes, a sly glint in them, "Brother, brother, I want to think about something..."
Sure enough, Xiao Shenxi was a beat slow to let go. She looked up with a fierce look in her eyes, signaling him to speak quickly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Jiangci went to hug her again. Seeing that Xiao Shenxi was about to make a move, he quickly spoke up at the right moment.
"I feel like my family is super rich..."
What kind of good news is this? She already knew!
She closed her eyes in annoyance, refusing to look at him.
That annoying young master, does having money make you so great?
"Brother, although my memory hasn't fully returned, I will take you home with me."
He spoke with great conviction, solemnly declaring that he was going to take her home.
Xiao Shenxi turned her back, tears welling in her eyes and wetting her pillow.
When Xiao Jiangci couldn't hear her brother's response, she thought he didn't believe her and immediately became anxious, trying to pull her away.
Xiao Shenxi was caught off guard and pulled over by him, tears still on her face.
Damn it, nothing good ever comes from running into him. How embarrassing!
When Xiao Jiangci saw his brother's face covered in tears, he quickly wiped them away with his little hands. He climbed out of the quilt, hugged Xiao Shenxi, and comforted him.
He gently patted her back, his childish voice telling her, "Brother, don't be sad."
Xiao Shenxi pushed him away and turned her face away, speaking in a muffled voice, "I'm not sad, it's just sand in my eyes."
The little fool stared blankly at the air for a moment, then blurted out, almost making her furious: "Brother, there's no sand in the room!"
Foolish humans!
Xiao Shenxi didn't look at him. "Anyway, remember to give me the money when you get home. You promised me."
Xiao Shenxi sat on the bed, and Xiao Jiangci stood on the bed. He squatted down and looked at her, asking seriously, "Isn't brother going home?"
Looking into his innocent eyes, Xiao Shenxi blurted out without thinking, "I have no home."
She regretted it as soon as she said it.
She had never complained about this before, and she felt a little annoyed that she shouldn't have said it.
Xiao Jiangci seemed to understand. He didn't ask, but instead quietly looked up at his brother. Seeing that she didn't seem so sad, he said, "Brother, I'll take you home. You can come to my house and be my brother!"
Xiao Shenxi ignored him. What brother? If anyone should call someone, it should be sister!
These wealthy people, who usually sit high up in their cars and never see beggars on the street, would they really bring her home?
That's just wishful thinking.
Which wealthy family would adopt a beggar as their child?
Xiao Jiangci seemed to be getting more and more excited as she talked, and she kept saying, "We can go to school together, get out of class together, and even hold hands and go home together. All my toys are yours, and all my toys are yours."
Xiao Shenxi found it grating. It sounded nice, but some things shouldn't have been thought about in the first place.
Without hope, there will be no disappointment.
