Chapter 377: Chapter 378 Race
“Uncle, you’re not really a Lolicon, are you?” Minx completely ruined the heart-warming atmosphere. She stared at Ku’er who was holding my arm tightly and said in a jealous tone, “She is not related to you, why is she so clingy to you?”
I responded in a huff, “You are not related to me as well, why are you so clingy to me?”
Minx raised her baby face, and said seriously, “That’s why I wonder if you are a Lolicon, or… she also has an uncle-complex just like me?”
I… I really wanted to spank her butt and asked her if she had ever seen an uncle that was as young as me.
The dormitory where Ku’er and her grandma lived was originally a teacher’s office. It was left unused because there weren’t that many teachers in the school. It was on the innermost side of the school. There was a simple flower pond in front of the office, but there was a toilet behind the office. It was not a great environment, but it was convenient for Ku’er’s grandma.
The room was very spacious. Except for two beds, one large and one small, a folding square table, and a not too big wardrobe, there was only a desk on the innermost part of the room.
On the table was a new 42-inch LCD TV. Because the table was too big, a crystal vase was placed on each side of the TV. There were colorful fake flowers in the bottle, matching with sky blue tablecloths, bringing out the best in each other.
The room was decorated by Zhu Danchen. It was simple and tidy, but it gave people a comfortable feeling. Ms. Ji said that Zhu Danchen originally wanted to buy a computer for Ku’er, but Ku’er didn’t know how to use it, so she decided to teach her during the summer vacation. After school started in September, she would buy it for her.
When we entered the room, Ku’er grandma had just woken up from a nap. She was very happy when she saw me. But to be honest, I didn’t like the fact that she couldn’t stop saying thank you to me.
Ku’er was always well-behaved when she was with her grandma. After Yao Wan’er and Minx washed her clean and helped her to change into clean clothes, she pulled me to sit on her bed. While listening to me talking to her grandma, she actually lay down, resting her head on my thigh.
This intimate behavior reminded me of Chu Yuan. But because the sofa at my flat was always wet, she hadn’t used my knee as a pillow for a long time. Of course, it did not mean that she would give up using me as a pillow. It was actually much worse now, she always wanted to use my arms as a pillow…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPerhaps the topic of Ku’er’s grandma always revolved around complimenting me, or maybe Minx could not get used to seeing Ku’er being so close to me, so she made an excuse and dragged Ku’er to see the football match outside. Although Ku’er liked to stay with me, she was obviously also worried about the result of the match. She actually really left with Xiao Yike in the end. Of course, even if she was reluctant to leave me, she was not stronger than Xiao Yike.
Yao Wan’er also went out after sitting for a while, saying that she wanted to look around the school. I was curious. There were only a few rows of classrooms in this school. What was there to see? But Ku’er grandma was very happy when talking to me, so I couldn’t bring myself to ruin the old woman’s mood.
It was understandable why the old woman was happy. No one knew Kuer’s recent changes better than her. I also liked to learn about Kuer’s changes from her, so I didn’t find it boring at all. Unknowingly, we actually chatted for almost an hour. And we only stopped when there was a sudden loud noise outside.
Ms. Ji pushed the door in a panic, making us startled, “Xiao Chu, the girl who came with you is injured!”
“What? !” I hurriedly ran out of the room. As soon as I came out, I could hear Minx’s cry from far away.
“Wahhh… It hurts so much… Wahhh–”
“What happened?” I squeezed through the crowd only to find that Minx was sitting on the red brick ground crying while covering her knees with one hand, and her forehead with the other. And Ku’er was carrying one of Xiao Yike’s deerskin short boots and standing a few steps away in front of her in a panic.
Seeing my worried face, she showed a very nervous and scared look, and as if she had done something wrong, she tried to behind Yao Wan’er. However, Yao Wan’er had an expression as if she didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry. Not only did she not show any sign of wanting to help Minx up, but she seemed to be enjoying Minx’s crying.
“Uncle. She bullied me! “Xiao Yike pointed to Ku’er and said.
Ku’er was like a frightened little rabbit, afraid to speak. She just grasped Yao Wan’er’s clothes tightly and shivered behind her. I was speechless. Ku’er was only eleven years old, and Xiao Yike was almost twenty. Even if she wanted to bully Xiao Yike, she still didn’t have that ability. Besides, who would dare to bully her?
“Elder Brother Nan, don’t listen to Yike’s nonsense,” Yao Wan’er chuckled and said, “She asked for it.”
“Are you kidding me? Elder Sister Wan’er, whose side are you on?” Minx cried pretentiously. “I’m hurt, but you still say that to me, do you have any sympathy?”
Yao Wan’er said, “It’s because I have sympathy that I can’t be on your side. It’s obvious that you fell on your own. Why do you blame Ku’er?”
Xiao Yike pouted her lips and said, “If I don’t chase her, will I fall?”
“Who asked you to chase her?”
“You. You said that I can’t outrun her?”
“Then did you outrun her?”
“I…” Minx was lost for words.
Yao Wan’er found the whole thing slightly vexing and amusing, “It’s fine that you can’t outrun her, but why did you want to pull her clothes? If you did not do that, would you even fall? In my opinion, you deserve it…”
Minx said angrily, “Uncle, look at her. She is so cold-blooded. I hurt so badly, but she is still mocking me, Waaah——”
I could tell that Minx was really hurt, but her crying was totally fake. She wanted to use tears to win other people’s sympathy, making people ignore that she was trying to play dirty first… No wonder Yao Wan’er refused to help her up. Had Ku’er been dragged by her, the one that was injured would have probably been Ku’er. This Minx, she was really a trouble maker…
“Okay, okay. Stop acting like a kid anymore, just get up quickly.” I couldn’t bring myself to scold Xiao Yike because she was indeed hurt. The injury on her left knee wasn’t obvious when she covered it with her hand. But the moment she moved her hand away the blood immediately came out. Not to mention those kids, even Yao Wan’er was also scared that her face turned pale instantly.
Seeing the blood on her knee, Xiao Yike’s face turned pale and her eyes really teared up. This time, her reaction was genuine, it was not fake at all.
After all, which girl was not afraid of bleeding?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI did not have anything like a handkerchief that could wrap her wound. And I had no time to borrow it from other people. In order to calm Xiao Yike’s emotions, I pretended to be calm and used my cuff to simply clean the dirt around her wound. Then I picked the cleanest spot on my sleeve and gently pressed it on her wound to stop bleeding, “Ms. Ji, are there alcohol and gauze in the school infirmary?”
Ms. Ji said embarrassedly, “Er… the school doesn’t have an infirmary. There are Alcohol and gauze in the school, but they are all in Principal Zhu’s dormitory. But Principal Zhu is not in the school now…”
Uh…
When Minx heard it, her teardrops began to fall, and her voice started to tremble, “Uncle, will I lose too much blood and die…”
“Bah! What kind of nonsense is this? How can losing two drops of blood kill you? I bled much more when popping my pimples, but it still didn’t kill me.”
“But… I have never bled so much before, and I think I have hematophobia…”
I doubt she would really have hematophobia, but I believed that she was really scared.
“I don’t know if you really have hematophobia or not. But I know that she is really scared of seeing blood.” I looked at Yao Wan’er who was shaking and smiled bitterly. Her eyes were filled with fear when she looked at Xiao Yike’s knees, her forehead and nose were oozing sweat. Her face was pale, and her lips were trembling. The funniest thing was that she wanted to pass me the handkerchief, but she didn’t dare to approach me.
Fortunately, the wound was not very deep. It stopped bleeding after I pressed it for a short time. I rinsed her wound briefly with clean water and then wrapped it with the handkerchief I took from Yao Wan’er. I originally wanted to help her stand up, but seeing that she seemed to be scared of standing up, I simply lifted her up and carried her in my arms.
“Ms. Ji, please tell grandma that I will come to visit her again when I have time, I’m taking her to the hospital first,” I said helplessly to Ms. Ji.
Ms. Ji nodded hurriedly.
Ku’er put the shoes back on Xiao Yike’s feet without saying a word, feeling very guilty. I was carrying Xiao Yike and couldn’t free my hand, so I pressed my forehead against her and said with a smile, “Ku’er, be a good girl, I will come to see you again in a few days. I forgot to buy you presents today, so next time, I will definitely bring many delicious things.”
Ku’er nodded, but her eyes never left Xiao Yike. After a moment of daze, I finally realized why she was looking at Xiao Yike. I frowned at Xiao Yike, who was staring at me blankly, and said, “Hey, why are you in a daze? Shouldn’t you say something to Ku’er?”
“Huh?” Xiao Yike finally returned to her senses. Although there were still tears on her face, she suddenly smiled inexplicably, “Ku’er, thank you! Ah!… No, I mean, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me, it’s not your fault, it’s all my fault. I deserved it. It has nothing to do with you. So I’m not angry at you. Actually, I like you a lot!”
I didn’t know what Minx was talking about, but she hugged my neck so tightly that I almost couldn’t breathe.
Only after hearing Xiao Yike say this, did Ku’er finally reveal a relieved expression.
