Chapter 8, No Loli
Chapter 8, No Loli
Bai Yuze was busy in the kitchen, the range hood hummed softly, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.
Bai Youqing first lay on the sofa watching "Magical Girl vs. Disaster Beast." The magical girls were clever and resourceful, while the disaster beasts were stupid and dull. After watching for a few minutes, she decisively turned it off.
Thinking about today's experience, her lovely face scrunched up in frustration: "What kind of stuff is this? It's so boring, completely out of touch with reality. I almost died because I believed what the TV showed!"
Then she moved closer to Bai Yuze, watching him cook, plate the food, chop the vegetables, and stir-fry them...
After a moment, she looked at Bai Yuze with a strange expression, turned her phone towards him, and asked, "Brother, who is this person named Hoshino Seri? She said she's the teacher you introduced."
Japanese + Teacher = ?
He looked at his foolish younger sister, whose expression gradually became strange, as if she were looking at a pervert.
Bai Yuzhe finally lost his temper and slammed a pair of chopsticks heavily on Bai Youqing's head, speechless.
"What are you thinking? This is our school's math teacher who also serves as the school's counselor. I told you that you've entered your rebellious phase, and you're always giving me attitude and throwing tantrums. If you think you don't have any psychological problems, just say no."
"Your words are like farts. When have I ever given you a hard time?"
Standing barefoot on the smooth floor, Bai Youqing was furious, like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, her fur standing on end as she stared at Bai Yuze.
"Tsk tsk, isn't that exactly what you are now?"
Bai Yuze, holding a spatula, smacked his lips, turned off his cigarette, and placed bowls of food on the table, setting out the bowls and chopsticks.
Bai Youqing wanted to say something, but when she saw the takoyaki, spicy lobster, spicy stir-fried clams, and pork rib soup on the table, she obediently shut her mouth.
Such scenes do happen, but they usually occur on one's birthday or during the Lunar New Year. Today is not the anniversary of her parents' death. Her gaze shifted, and she suddenly thought of the WeChat friend she had just accepted from Dongying City. She seemed to understand something.
Honestly, if you want to be a wingman, just say so!
Why would you bribe yourself with your favorite food? Which girl could resist that temptation?
But what if my brother pursues Teacher Xingye? What will happen to Sister Ning Zixuan? She once said that she would beat up anyone who dared to pursue Bai Yuze.
Bai Youqing quickly shook her head again. Ning Zixuan was a big traitor and didn't deserve her brother.
I was so obedient to her when I was little, and she just left like that.
Bai Yuze served the rice and placed it in front of his sister, making up a reason to cover up the real reason he was making something delicious for her today.
"Today, the leader praised me at the meeting, saying that I have done a good job in the past three years and that they are going to select me for the title of outstanding teacher. I am in a good mood and am going to treat myself."
He can't possibly say, "I almost killed you today, so to make up for it, I cooked your favorite dish."
This is something that can never be said; it will never be said in my entire life, it will just rot inside me.
Bai Youqing didn't speak, but she already had an idea in her mind.
A green plum can't withstand a sudden rain; isn't that common sense?
Her gaze then fell entirely on the food on the table, and she automatically mute and ignored Bai Yuze's words.
At the dinner table, the older brother talked and the younger sister ate, without disturbing each other, living in harmony.
"Little sister, I heard you're about to have your midterms in high school. Would you like me to find you a tutor?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Youqing, who had been working tirelessly, finally raised her head and looked at her brother, who seemed to have mentioned a trivial matter casually. She understood that the main point of this dinner party was finally about to be revealed.
"Brother, don't worry, with me here, getting rid of that teacher will be a piece of cake."
"That's good. No... what did you just say? Say it again!"
Hearing his sister's firm tone, Bai Yuzhe subconsciously nodded, but then suddenly realized that something seemed off about what his sister was saying.
"Stop talking, bro, I understand. Even if my math isn't a problem, it's bound to be one."
I never expected my brother's spring to come so suddenly. My brother has grown up!
He's no longer the little boy who would make me call him "brother" even if I stepped on him.
Bai Youqing sighed and pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth clean.
As the saying goes, "He who takes a man's money is bound to him, and he who eats a man's food is bound to him." Since I've enjoyed your lavish meal, I naturally have to give back in return.
But there's no rush. As Sun Tzu said, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." I'll go and find out the truth first, and then let my brother win the battle and take my sister-in-law home.
Bai Yuzhe frowned as he watched his younger sister run back to her room.
That's the gist of it, but there seems to be something wrong with the sentence before it. Did I mishear it?
After taking a refreshing cold shower, Bai Yuze entered his room. His room consisted of a bookcase, a wardrobe, a desk, a laptop, and a bed. The space wasn't large, but having lived there for a while, he didn't feel cramped at all.
Only after hearing the door next door close did Bai Yuze draw the curtains.
He took out a ring from his casual clothes, engraved with strange patterns, with a thin crack in the middle, and a dazzling purple gemstone set in the center of the ring.
Violet Star
"The power of violets, manifesting radiance!"
"The song of my heart awakens the rhythm of the stars, making them my magic guardians to protect the world."
"Violet—"
The next moment, a gentle and beautiful purple light shone.
Suddenly, a beautiful little girl appeared in the room.
She was petite and delicate, dressed in a purple magic dress. The hem of the dress swayed gently with her steps, radiating a captivating light.
Unlike her previous alluring and seductive demeanor, the magical girl now exudes a holy and solemn aura.
The girl looked down and glanced around at herself. The demonic markings on her abdomen were gone, at least temporarily.
She sighed subtly. Each transformation into a phantom butterfly was a form of mental torture for her; it was too shameful.
It would be much better if it turned into a violet.
My headache is gone, the madness in my mind has disappeared, and I shouldn't be able to smell that stench for the time being.
The purification effect of Demon Princess Iris is quite powerful.
The only downside is that I've become completely flat again.
However, she had long since come to terms with this.
Having a flat chest is great! It means less weight to carry, less chance of accidental exposure, and you don't have to worry about pressure on your chest while sleeping at night.
During the battle, her large breasts would only hinder her speed in drawing her sword.
.....
"You idiot, wake up! You idiot, wake up!"
Bai Yuze opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for several seconds in a daze.
Only then did he extend his divine right hand and turn off the incessantly ringing "Pig Head, Pig Head" alarm clock.
This is the alarm clock Ning Zixuan chose for him before. It's of excellent quality, and the sound is still so loud from high school until now.
After getting up, Bai Yuze twitched his nose.
Silently, I walked to the window, opened it, and let the hopeful morning sun enter the king's hometown, carrying away the scent of youth.
My gaze inadvertently swept over the calendar, and a wave of melancholy washed over me.
孽 孽!
Today is his morning self-study session for Chinese.
Back in high school, we had to attend early morning self-study sessions, and now that I'm working, I still have to attend them—what a waste of all that studying!
I went into the bathroom to wash up, and ten minutes later I stood at the door, ready to exercise.
The sun hadn't fully risen yet, and a cool breeze blew in my face as I went outside.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; if you want to turn your life around and become your own master, the road is winding but bright.
He doesn't run fast; he keeps his daily running distance to around 3 to 5 kilometers, not aiming for more.
The running area is along the Xunyang River next to Changhong Road, and there is a university called Yeqiu City University near the Xunyang River.
There was a lot of college student atmosphere around, and many college students and elderly people were exercising near Xunyang River. Of course, there were also quite a few people fishing. After crossing Xunyang River, the rest stop was the nearby breakfast street. I watched the surrounding shops slowly open, the busy figures of adults, and the elderly people with hunched backs cleaning the streets.
Breathing in the fresh air, gazing up at the now azure sky, and basking in the warm sunshine.
Bai Yuze really enjoys life in the human world.
Sometimes we only learn to cherish what we had when we lose it.
"Good morning, Teacher Xiaobai!"
"Good morning, Uncle Ye."
"Teacher Xiaobai, if it weren't for your advice the other day, that woman would have washed all my cured meat. I never imagined that Teacher Xiaobai is not only highly knowledgeable, but also has so much experience in cooking!"
"Uncle Ye, you're too kind. My parents also liked to eat cured meat when I was a child, and over time, I learned some ways to preserve it. It's nothing."
"Go away, stop talking nonsense. Teacher Xiaobai, my grandson has never liked English since he was a child. What are some good ways to get him to learn English properly?"
Does your grandson like watching America's science fiction movies, or foreign games?
"Oh my, he loves it so much. Every time one of these movies comes out, he insists that I go see it with him. And as for games, it's even more of a AAA title. He goes straight to his room as soon as he gets home and doesn't even eat dinner."
"I have two methods here, Grandma Tan. You can try them, but they might not work."
"It's alright, Mr. Bai, you teach Chinese. I'm just trying anything, if all else fails, I'll enroll him in a tutoring class."
"The first method is to have the child's parents download more American movies and buy some foreign games, but without any Chinese characters. Finally, buy him an English dictionary."
The second method is to have him go to his English class every day. The teacher will definitely teach new English words and texts. You can have him teach you those words and texts each day. This way, you can see if he's paying attention in class, and it also helps him review what he's learned. If Grandma Tan can remember every word and sentence her grandson teaches, the final result will definitely be quite good, although it might take a lot of effort.
"Does this really work?"
The old lady was somewhat skeptical. She had never heard of anyone improving their English by watching movies and playing games. The second method was even more of a challenge for her; she barely knew any of the Chinese characters, let alone English. But when she thought about her grandson's future, she made up her mind.
Bai Yuze couldn't guarantee anything either, as he had avoided English like the plague in his previous life.
Later, when there was really no other way, I spent every day with an English dictionary, frantically memorizing texts and model essays, and watching foreign movies. Gradually, I started to grasp some grammar.
Even after all that, my final English score was just average, around 120.
Bai Yuzhe naturally wouldn't say these things to the elderly, but he advised them, "Russel once said, 'When a person clearly knows that he will reap rewards after his efforts, and clearly and intuitively knows how much he will reap, then without anyone supervising him, he will definitely work hard like crazy.'"
"Rossel must have been a great philosopher!"
"Hmm, you could say that."
"Sorry to bother you so early, Teacher Xiaobai. These are cantaloupes and loquats I picked in the countryside a few days ago, along with some genuine free-range eggs. I can't eat them all, so please take some!"
"No need, no need, it's nothing at all."
"You don't want to eat them because you think they're not pretty? Fine, I'll buy some fresh ones for you next time, Teacher Xiaobai."
"No, no, that's not what I meant."
"Then you can take it."
"Okay, thank you, Grandma Tan."
"Teacher Xiaobai, I have some cured meat here, you can take some too."
When Bai Yuze left, he had nothing in his hands, but when he returned, he had a lot of food and fruit in his hands.
When Bai Youqing got up to go to the bathroom, she saw her older brother carrying all sorts of things home and asked in confusion, "Did you go and fight with the old folks for discounted items at the supermarket?"
"I'm not saying this to be mean, but the discounted items at the supermarket aren't much cheaper, so I really don't think you need to fight with them."
Bai Yuzhe pretended not to see the disdain on his younger sister's face.
She put the cured pork and eggs in the kitchen, placed the breakfast on the table, and finally washed the cantaloupe and loquat, explaining, "These were all given to me by the uncles and aunties at the breakfast shop; I couldn't refuse them. You should eat your breakfast quickly so you won't be late."
"Mmm, so sweet."
As Bai Yuze spoke,
Bai Youqing had already peeled the loquat and stuffed it into her mouth, her eyes narrowed into slits, looking extremely pleased.
"Brush your teeth before eating, or you'll get cavities later."
"Fine, I'll go. Why are you being so fierce?"
Seeing that the girl was actually listening to him, Bai Yuzhe couldn't help but worry again, his face full of surprise and doubt.
"Have you been sick these past few days? You've changed so much."
"Mind your own business, Bai Yuze, are you asking for a beating again?!"
Bai Youqing raised her fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and said fiercely.
Seeing Bai Youqing return to her familiar appearance, Bai Yuzhe breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the taste was still that familiar flavor. He had been worried that after yesterday's events, her personality might have changed drastically, and she might have developed some kind of mental illness.
After finishing his meal, Bai Yuze washed the dishes as usual.
Previously, Bai Yuzhe would usually cook and Bai Youqing would wash the dishes, but later everything changed.
Don't ask, the answer is we can't win...
