Chapter 96: He Doesn't Want Others To Give Sister Taozi A Treat
The little girl ran out of words and got a little anxious. In the end, she stomped her feet and said with a flushed face, "Anyway, my brother is the best. My brother is the best. He’s smart and definitely better than your brother."
Su Tao was afraid of making her cry, so she stopped teasing. She took Xie Yuntang's purse and went out to buy two pancakes. Then, she sat on the doorstep and started eating.
She felt sleepy after eating. She wasn’t afraid of being abducted in broad daylight, so she leaned against the pillar and slept peacefully.
Today's weather was different from the gloomy days of the past few days. The hot sun rose in the sky, and the sunlight shone on the girl's face. Although her facial features weren’t fully grown yet, it could be seen that she looked quite delicate.
Her small mouth was rosy and glossy. Her skin wasn’t fair, but ruddy.
After an unknown period of time, the gong was suddenly struck. There was a "dong" sound, followed by the burly voice of a man. "The time is up! Stop writing!"
Su Tao woke up suddenly. She got up quickly, patted her butt, and then stared at the door.
The little girl squeezed to her side.
After Xie Yuntang put down his brush, he waited for his test papers to be collected, and then he started to pack up. He was usually slow, but now he was much faster.
Sister Taozi said she would wait for him outside.
Thinking of this, he was a little happy. And then he ran out, and saw Su Tao in pink clothes at a glance. He raised his hand and waved. "Sister Taozi."
Su Tao hurriedly squeezed over and took his bag naturally. Like a typical young wife, she asked with concern, "Milksop, did you finish writing? Was it difficult?"
"I've finished writing. It's not difficult. Teacher has taught many of the questions." Xie Yuntang's eyes crinkled up.
Hearing this, Su Tao felt relieved. She touched her stomach, and began to trick Milksop into buying food. "Milksop, I'm hungry. I want to eat lotus-flavored chicken."
It wasn’t just a wish. She was sure that Milksop would buy it for her.
She had Milksop wrapped around her little finger.
As expected, Xie Yuntang nodded obediently. "I'll buy two for you. Sister Taozi, what do you want to eat?"
The two were about to leave when a little girl's voice interrupted, saying coquettishly, "Sister, look, this is my brother. Brother, tell her you're awesome."
Su Tao looked over, first at the little girl, then at the boy next to her, who looked older than Xie Yuntang. He was about ten years old, but about the same height as Milksop.
Unlike the soft and cute Milksop, he had a delicate and handsome appearance, and had lost his baby fat.
Everyone liked to look at beautiful things, and Su Tao's eyes lit up. This was the second good-looking boy she had seen.
Her gaze was fixed on the boy, and Xie Yuntang naturally noticed it. For some reason, he was unhappy, and subconsciously reached out to grab her wrist. He said softly, "Sister Taozi, let's go, or there will be no more lotus-flavored chicken later."
He didn't like Sister Tao looking at others at all.
When Su Tao heard this, she quickly retracted her gaze and urged, "Then let’s go."
The little girl held her back and insisted on showing off her brother to her. "Sister, don’t go. Look at my brother..."
Before the little girl finished speaking, the boy blushed and said, "Little sister, stop it. Let go."
Then he apologized to Su Tao and stuttered, "I-I'm sorry. My little sister has no ill intentions."
"Brother, I won't let go. Just now, Sister said that her brother is invincible. My brother is invincible instead." The little girl felt that her brother was overshadowed and was a little anxious.
Su Tao couldn't help but smile, and said perfunctorily, "Fine, fine, fine. Your brother is invincible. If I continue to talk to you, my lotus-flavored chicken will be gone."
Xie Yuntang, who was standing next to Su Tao, heard the little girl's words and his eyes lit up. Sister Tao praised him.
Although his father said that people should be humble, he was delighted that Sister Taozi praised him.
"Sister, you want to eat lotus-flavored chicken? I'll ask my father to save some for you. My family sells lotus-flavored chicken."
The little girl smiled brightly when she heard her brother being praised.
Su Tao's eyes lit up. After being poor, she always liked it where there was free food. She smiled and said, "Then you have to give me one. I just praised your brother."
"Okay, I'll ask my father to give you one. Sister, your brother is also amazing. He looks like a porcelain doll." The little girl glanced at Xie Yuntang and felt a little shy.
Hearing this, Su Tao glanced at Xie Yuntang and nodded in agreement. "Milk... My brother is more good-looking than a girl."
Xie Yuntang blushed a little, and he explained softly, "Sister Taozi, I'm not a girl."
"I said you’re more good-looking than a girl." Su Tao winked at him.
While they were talking, Xie Qing and the others came. When they heard that the two children were going to eat lotus-flavored chicken, they took them there. However, he and Mrs. Xie-Qin didn’t go in.
Yuntang was more stable now, so he needed to get used to being alone outside.
Just as Su Tao and Xie Yuntang sat down, the brother and sister came in. And then they came over and sat down.
Su Tao didn't say anything. As long as there was food, it was fine. There were many people in the restaurant at this time, so they would probably have to wait for a while.
She leaned over and asked softly, "What's your name? Tell your father secretly to prepare one for us first."
"My name is Lin Jiayu, and my brother’s name is Lin Jiasheng. Sister, wait. I'll go call my father."
After the little girl replied, she ran up to the loft with a "thump, thump, thump" sound, and soon came down with a young man.
The young man glanced at Xie Yuntang, and seemed to recognize that he was from the Xie family. He looked unusually kind and said, "Please remain seated first. The food will be served soon."
Su Tao said sweetly, "Thank you, sir."
As expected, those who pulled strings were treated differently. A portion of the lotus-flavored chicken was soon served. Su Tao took the initiative to rip off a chicken drumstick for Xie Yuntang before ripping one off for herself.
She also did not forget to entertain the two siblings opposite. "Help yourselves."
She still looked after Milksop when they were outside because Milksop was considered her family.
Lin Jiayu didn't want to eat. She shook her head. "I eat it every day, I don't want to eat it anymore."
Su Tao, "..."
She took a big bite, which puffed up her cheeks. Her eyes fell on Lin Jiasheng again. How handsome this little boy would be when he grew up.
As expected, handsome men came from rich families. The whole village was full of ugly guys like Zheng Duoyin. What a downer.
Xie Yuntang habitually kept looking at her from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that she was staring at Lin Jiasheng again, he was a little unhappy. Sister Taozi used to stare at him.
After a while, he said softly, "Sister Taozi, I want to go home."
Hearing this, Su Tao glanced at him and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" After that, she took a big bite.
Xie Yuntang didn't dare to look at her, and nodded with his eyes downcast.
Hearing that he wasn’t feeling well, Su Tao was a little anxious, but she did not forget to ask Lin Jiayu to treat her to the meal. "Then we’ll pack it up and take it home. Jiayu, this is your treat."
She packed the lotus-flavored chicken quickly, and then wanted to leave with Milksop.
Lin Jiayu nodded happily.
Lin Jiasheng, who had been silent, nodded. "It’s a treat for you guys. Come again next time."
This child was smart. Su Tao nodded happily. "Okay."
Xie Yuntang didn’t leave, but said softly, "Sister Taozi, we have to pay."
He didn't want others to give Sister Taozi a treat.
