Volume 3 Chapter 23 Don't Hit Me

  Xīng Yuè turned her head and smiled lightly: "Xī Mén Gē, do you often come here? The decoration is quite unique, just like a rural tavern from last century!"

  "Hehe, do you like it here?" Ximen asked gently.

  "Ah, I like it so much! It's so cozy here!"

  "Xīnyuè, you and your sister, why don't you look like two sisters? Are you biological sisters?"

  "Of course! My sister looks more like Dad, and I'm told that I look more like Mom." Xinyue felt guilty and quickly clarified the fact.

  "Hehe, I didn't mean that, what I meant is you are more refined than your sister!"

  "Alright! Ximen Ge, you dare to say that my sister is not good? I'm going to tell her!"

  "Little fool, I didn't mean to criticize your sister, I was actually praising you! Haha..."

  "Who talks like that? Let me tell you, my sister is a woman who looks outgoing on the surface but actually has a lot of substance! You don't understand her!"

  "Really? I feel like she enjoys teasing people! And can never figure out what she's thinking about! Unlike you, Xiang Yue, who is so simple and straightforward, with a crystal clear heart that's easy to see through!"

  "Am I so useless? Can people see right through me at a glance? No, no! I must train harder! By the time I'm as old as my sister, I'll be even more profound than her!"

  Ximen Xuan smiled and shook his head, thinking that after all, he was still a child!

  At this time, the dishes arrived. Ximen Xuan put the meat on the grill and roasted it. Xiang Yu also learned from him, sticking the meat piece by piece on the grill.

  Ximen Xuan thought, this girl is really sensible! If it were her sister, she would definitely wait for someone else to roast it and serve it in her bowl.

  "Ximen Ge, I want to ask you for a favor!" Xiang Yue said with some trepidation while roasting meat.

  "Alright, let's take a look!" Ximen smiled and flipped the meat over.

  "Hey, don't you recognize me? I'm your sister who's really good at dressing up and isn't too busy?"

  "Haha, our little beauty is already beautiful enough, where's the need to deliberately dress up?"

  "It's not me! I want her to teach my friend...". Xinyue was asking someone for Yu Duo, actually she looks quite good too, but just doesn't know how to dress up. Sometimes when she puts on makeup and all that, it's completely off the mark, really even uglier than without makeup. But if we can find a good teacher to train her properly, I believe we can bring out Yu Duo's beauty.

  "Really? Alright, no problem, I've got it covered! Come on, dig in!"

  "Hehe, don't tell sis about this either! She'll say I'm meddling in other people's business!"

  "Alright, I'll keep it a secret!" Ximen said with his mouth full of food. "But you have to tell me, how's your sister been lately? She never answers my calls!"

  "Hehe, who told you not to tell her the truth? Maybe she thinks you're deceiving her! Tell me, what's your intention for not telling her about learning dance?" Xinyue said with a mouthful of food.

  "Hey, didn't your sister dislike men who are into arts?"

  "Why are you still going to learn dance?" Xinyue asked in puzzlement.

  "But I love dancing too much! If my family hadn't opposed it when I was young, I might have become a dance star already!"

  "You? Possibly!" Xinyue secretly smiled, she didn't understand how a grown man could like that thing. She had skipped several dance classes herself and didn't find it very interesting. If not for Xi Meng's face, she would have slipped away long ago.

  "Please keep it a secret for me! As long as your sister doesn't see me spending time learning, that's all that matters!"

  Xin Yue suddenly thought of Cheng Zhen Ge, he was magnanimous and down-to-earth, seemingly more suitable for her sister than Mr. Xi Men in front of her. But she didn't recognize the precious jade... Sigh, I'll advise her when I have time...

  In the late afternoon, Qingchi returned to his original home. Everything was still the same here, with Dad taking care of those sick pet dogs downstairs. Qingchi secretly stood in front of the window for a long time, then sighed and slowly walked upstairs.

  On the spacious balcony, some clothes were hung out to dry. Qing Chi thought, "Those must be Xiang Yue's laundry?" She really had it tough! But thinking about it, this was also because of her overly gentle personality! In the past, she rarely did anything for herself, so who could blame her? Only... only that she wasn't as lovable as him. Now all the boys in school were crazy about her, even He Tong that guy... What did he say I was like again? Fierce and violent? Wanting to bite people? Humph, do I really seem that unpleasant? Hehe, having a quick temper was indeed true.

  "Bingtong, Bingtong, you haven't finished yet?" Xiaoyan shouted from inside the house.

  Qingchi saw Xiaoyan get up from the sofa through the gap in the door, holding a TV remote control and running into the inner room.

  What would the old rabbit do? Qingchi felt curious and tiptoed into the house.

  All that could be seen was the grey rabbit crawling on the desk in the inner room, as if it had fallen asleep. Xia Yan rushed over, picked up the rabbit and put it on a chair, then took up the homework book on the desk to review it.

  A smile gradually spread across his face, and he said, "This is more like it!" Then he quickly packed up his backpack and was about to run out to continue watching TV when the rabbit opened its eyes and said, "Not even a thank you! You just know how to use me as a labor force every day!"

  "Oh, thank you! Aren't you going to sleep a bit more?" Xia Yan stopped and asked.

  "Hey kid, I helped you finish your homework, shouldn't you be thanking me? You think a simple 'thank you' is enough and then you can just run off? Go get me something to eat, I'm starving today!"

  Xia Yan cried with a sad face: "Aren't you making things difficult for me? You know I can't cook!"

  "Is there still some of that fried chicken leg you ate yesterday?"

  "It's all gone!"

  "Then go out and buy some for me! I know there's a vendor at the entrance of the alley!"

  "Bingtong, don't be like this! You also know I want to watch TV now..."

  "Alright! Then let's see! I can't guarantee that I won't accidentally mention it to your sister, though......" Bingtong casually put his two paws behind his head.

  "Alright, alright! I'm going, that's all!" Xia Yan glared fiercely at Bing Tong and turned to leave the room.

  Qing Chi hastily hid in the corner of the wall, his heart filled with wild joy.
