Chapter 24: Tell Your Parents To Let Me Accompany You
Xie Yuntang was so frightened that he stepped back several steps. The blush on his fair cheeks became more obvious, and he stuttered, "Sister Taozi, you can't do this."
"What can’t I do? Roll up my sleeves or my trouser legs? I can even take off my clothes."
Su Tao saw him stepping back repeatedly, and she became more interested in teasing him. She tugged at her clothes, pretending she was going to take them off. Milksop was so startled that he left the attic.
There was a "dong, dong, dong" sound, which showed how fast he had run away.
Hmph, Milksop was so timid. She hadn't even done anything yet.
What would happen to him when he saw a woman in the future? Would he be so scared that he’d run home, close the door, and hide?
She smiled mischievously at the thought of that. Milksop was afraid of women, which meant he was afraid of her.
She should continue to do this!
……
On the way to the school, Xie Yuntang was probably still shy about what had just transpired, so he took quicker steps.
Su Tao couldn't keep up. She chased after Xie Yuntang and grabbed his hair tie. "Milksop, if you walk faster than me, I'll beat you!"
She hadn’t wanted to pull off his hair tie. She probably used too much strength, and the hair tie loosened on its own.
Immediately, Xie Yuntang's soft and cute hair bun came undone, and his hair became disheveled, making him look a little bit like an adorable little girl.
Having pulled off his hair tie again, Su Tao touched the tip of her nose guiltily. However, she refused to apologize to Milksop.
Even if she were beaten to death, she wouldn’t apologize to Milksop.
She pointed at the tree not far away. She didn't feel guilty at all for having done something wrong. Instead, she looked fierce like Mrs. Su-Qian and said, "Go and sit there. I’ll tie your hair for you."
Milksop didn't know how to tie his hair himself. She noticed that it was Mrs. Xie-Qin who tied up his hair for him.
"No..."
Xie Yuntang was about to say something, but Su Tao interrupted him, "Stop acting like a girl." After saying that, she dragged him to sit under the tree without caring whether he was happy about it.
Xie Yuntang's face was slightly flushed. He sat on a dirty rock, looking scared but not daring to resist.
Su Tao grabbed his hair a few times from behind, and then quickly tied his hair into a bun.
But Xie Yuntang's hair was thick and smooth, and it was not easy to tie it up. After trying several times and failing to tie it up properly, she became a little irritable and complained, "If you only had long hair and weren’t tall, you would have looked like a girl. How beautiful you would be as a girl. Everyone would want to kiss you."
Xie Yuntang obediently said nothing.
Seeing that school was going to start soon, he became a little anxious and said softly, "Sister Taozi, I'll go home and let my mom tie it up."
"No! Don't move around. I don't believe that I can't tie it up properly. Sit still!"
Su Tao's movements were a little irritable, and Xie Yuntang's scalp hurt a little, but he didn't cry out for fear that she would be even more unhappy later.
Sister Taozi got angry because she couldn't fix his hair.
He was going to learn to tie his hair so that she wouldn't get angry.
When a person got angry, they would fall sick easily.
Su Tao struggled for a while before she finally managed to tie it up. She patted him on the shoulder. "Go to school quickly. Don't tell others that I pulled your hair tie off, okay?"
Xie Yuntang stood up and the bun on his head wobbled a little. Obviously, it wasn't tied up properly. He glanced at Su Tao and nodded obediently, "I won't tell anyone."
"That's more like it."
Su Tao was satisfied with his answer and reached out to pinch his face. The touch felt so good.
She bared her teeth and said, "Only I can pinch your face, okay? If anyone else pinches your face, tell me. I’ll beat him to death."
Only she could bully Milksop.
Xie Yuntang was probably used to her pinching his face, so he only took a step back, and then nodded obediently.
After sending Xie Yuntang to the school, Su Tao glanced at him a few times. Just as she was about to leave, she saw that his hair had come undone. Su Tao, "..."
At this moment, the teacher walked in with a book. He glanced at Xie Yuntang and looked slightly stern. "Yuntang, why is your hair not tied up?"
Xie Yuntang's face was a little flushed, and he tied his hair with the hair tie with both hands in a panic. He said in a slightly aggrieved tone, "It fell off."
He couldn't tie it up properly, so it was crooked.
The other children burst into laughter.
Su Tao, who was outside the door, touched her nose and ran away guiltily. However, she remembered these rascals who laughed.
Laughing at Milksop was tantamount to laughing at her!
……
After dusk, the red sun had already half set over the mountain.
Xie Qing had already come back. Mrs. Xie-Qin prepared the meal and waited for the two children to come back. After a while, she saw the two of them coming back, and noticed that Xie Yuntang's hair was disheveled.
She was subconsciously worried that he had been bullied, and said in shock, "Yuntang, why is your hair so disheveled? Did someone bully you? Don't be afraid. Tell us. We’ll confront him!"
Su Tao, the culprit, shrank in fear. She looked at Xie Yuntang's hair. She had already re-tied it before they returned home.
Wasn’t it fine? What was wrong with it?
Xie Yuntang had no intention of complaining about Su Tao, and shook his head. "The hair tie accidentally fell off."
He paused and then said, "Mom, please teach me how to tie my hair."
Hearing this, Mrs. Xie-Qin heaved a sigh of relief, then raised her hand to help him tie his hair again. "Okay, I’ll teach you tomorrow morning."
"Auntie Xie, please teach me. I’ll tie Brother Yuntang's hair in the future." Su Tao looked at them with big eyes, appearing to be obedient and adorable.
Mrs. Xie-Qin didn't think much about it. Seeing that both children wanted to learn, she smiled and agreed, "Okay."
The Xie family had a sumptuous dinner. There was chicken soup, and Mrs. Xie-Qin gave each of the two children a chicken drumstick.
Su Tao's eyes widened. Chicken drumstick. She could finally eat chicken drumsticks.
She gulped, and glanced at Xie Qing and Mrs. Xie-Qin. She picked up the chicken drumstick and put it in Xie Yuntang's bowl. "Brother Yuntang, you eat it."
She looked cute and sensible, which made people’s hearts mellow for her.
Mrs. Xie-Qin and Xie Qing looked at each other, feeling a little sorry for the child. Mrs. Xie-Qin said, "Taozi, you can eat it. Yuntang can just eat one."
As expected, Xie Yuntang returned the chicken drumstick to her. "Sister Taozi, you eat them."
He gave the two chicken drumsticks to Su Tao.
Su Tao's eyes shone slightly and she couldn't help but gulp. Although she wanted to eat two chicken drumsticks, she definitely couldn't.
She picked one up and put it in Xie Yuntang's bowl. Her eyes were crinkled up as she said sweetly, "Brother Yuntang, one for you, and one for me." After saying this, she grinned widely.
She could finally eat a chicken drumstick.
She took a big bite of the chicken drumstick. Gosh, she was so happy. Life in the Xie family was simply heavenly.
She didn’t want to go back to the Su family’s house!
However, that was impossible. After dinner, she had to go back.
Su Tao glanced at Xie Yuntang reluctantly, hoping that he would ask her to stay.
Xie Yuntang naturally caught her gaze and thought she wanted the pastries bought by his father. He quickly ran into the house, and came out with something in his hands. He said softly, "Here, you may eat them."
Su Tao, "..."
She said obediently, "It’s okay. Brother Yuntang, you eat them. I'm going home."
Seeing that no one asked her to stay, she couldn’t refuse to leave the Xie family's house. She walked out of the Xie family's house step by step.
She didn't want the food. Xie Yuntang thought she didn't like it, so he chased out with a serious expression on his small face. "Sister Taozi, these are delicious."
"It’s okay, Brother Yuntang."
Su Tao saw that Mrs. Xie-Qin and Xie Qing didn’t come out. Then, she quickly lowered her voice and said in a demanding tone, "Milksop, go tell your parents to let me sleep with you."
"I'll fan you."
