Chapter 109

  I replied: "This question, you can only go ask your uncle or God himself, how could I possibly know the answer."

  "Oh no, Xia Qinghe, you're being too unreasonable."

  Xiao Su seemed a bit angry and said, "I'm talking to you about something serious, why aren't you taking it seriously? Hurry up and answer my question, why doesn't your uncle have a girlfriend?"

  "How could I possibly know that?" I turned around and half-jokingly said to her, "Your uncle wouldn't happen to be gay, would he?"

  "Ah! Homosexual?"

  Xiao Su's eyes widened in shock, her face filled with incredulity as she stared at her uncle's receding back. Then she turned to me, stuttering: "N-no, no way. My uncle is..."

  Before she could loudly utter those three special words, I quickly reached out and covered her mouth tightly, whispering in her ear: "Just kidding, just kidding. Xiao Su, you mustn't speak rashly."

  She forcibly pried open my hand, her face serious as she said to me: "What you're saying, actually I've thought about it a long time ago. At that time, every night I followed my uncle, watching where he went and who he was with. But after following him for half a year, I still didn't discover anything special about him."

  "What's so special about this place?" I asked skeptically.

  "It's just that I saw him being especially close and intimate with some men, there's a possibility of homosexuality." After she finished speaking, an evil smile appeared on her face.

  I said: "In your eyes, it seems that any man over 30 who is still unmarried must be gay."

  Xiao Su nodded.

  I irrevocably told her: "You really know how to think, what kind of things are you thinking about in your brain all day long? Can't you talk about something normal for once? You're talking about these absurd and bizarre things, or is it about your uncle's? Your brain has truly rusted."

  "Where?"

  This guy started grabbing my wrist, trying to pull it open, and biting my fingers while doing so. Gnashing his teeth, he said: "We've all had a tiring day today, I just want to have some fun. How about I introduce you to my uncle and make you my aunt?"

  "Thank you, I don't deserve it."

  I am speechless, I really have no choice but to give up on her.

  "People like your uncle who have money, I'm sure there are already a lot of women outside, it's just that they haven't been brought back for you to see yet. Maybe it's because your uncle looks down on those women, so he didn't bring them."

  Xiao Su pulled away my hand covering her mouth, and said to me with a knowing expression: "So what you're saying is that my uncle is actually a playboy who has been fooling around with many women outside but doesn't want to marry any of them. It's either because he still can't figure out which one he likes or maybe he doesn't like any of them, and those women outside are just warming his bed."

  "Cough cough cough, I didn't mean it that way, you said those things yourself, they have nothing to do with me."

  It's not good to say that Xiao Su's weird uncle is a playboy in front of her, right? Although she doesn't seem to care, it's still unacceptable to speak ill of one's elders in front of their juniors.

  She smiled slightly and said: "If it's really like you said, then it's not bad. This is better than my uncle being gay."

  I'm sweating bullets. Her uncle is fine, her family is fine, but what about all the women who were played by her uncle? What are they supposed to do now?

  Xiao Su's face was filled with worry as she said, "After Mom gave birth to me, she abandoned my dad and me to run off with another man. Although Grandma and Uncle had sent people all over the world to look for her, in the end, there was no news of her whereabouts. Grandma only had two children, and after Mom left, she never came back. The only one left at home was Uncle, but even though he's already over 30 years old, he still refuses to get married, which is almost driving Grandma to death."

  I comforted him: "What you said is also a problem, your uncle's family has only one child, as long as he is not gay, he will get married sooner or later."

  "Thanks for your kind words." Xiao Su said with a smile.

  "Xiao Su, come quickly."

  Just as I was about to say who's with whom, a strange uncle's voice came from the front.

  "Uncle, wait for us."

  Xiao Su responded with a sound, excitedly waving her hand, and pulled me forward.

  It's good that it's evening now, there aren't many people on the streets, and no one has the energy to notice my bare feet. The high-heeled shoes on my feet were used to smash a police officer, so I threw the other one into the trash can when I left the police station. Now, I look like a madman, running around in the middle of the night wearing only a pair of tattered socks on the cement ground.

  A black BMW was parked in front, Uncle Wei leaned against the car, smoking leisurely, opening his thin lips to slowly spit out a mouthful of blue smoke, which drifted away gently in the night wind.

  "Uncle, are you sending us back home?"

  Xiao Su let go of me and ran forward, hugging the arm of that tall, rich and handsome guy, asking excitedly.

  "Uh-huh."

  The strange uncle smiled and responded with a "hmm", raised his head, looked at me with his eyes, and carefully examined me from head to toe. His slender fingers removed the cigarette from his lips, exhaled blue smoke, and asked me: "Are you Xiao Su's friend?"

  "Uh-huh."

  I felt a bit nervous and replied.

  "Are you classmates?"

  The strange uncle spoke again and asked me.

  "Uh-huh."

  "What's wrong with you guys today? How could you beat up a police officer?"

  I am speechless in the face of this question.

  "That fat guy looks so disgusting, he doesn't look like a police officer at all." Xiao Su shouted loudly: "Qinghua and I were walking on the road, and he was secretly following us from behind, looking like a thief. The two of us girls, plus this package of gold bars, are already not safe, and we're afraid wherever we go. For no reason, we're also being stalked by that lecherous pervert, so of course we'd be scared. Then, when the two of us were running away, that police officer came chasing after us, but fortunately Qinghua was clever and took off her high-heeled shoes and threw them at that lecherous police officer..."

  The further back he went, the smaller Xiao Su's voice became.

  The weird uncle had a strange smile on his face, turned around and looked at me, asking: "Hitting the police with shoes, don't you know how severe the consequences will be?"

  "I know, I know."

  I didn't dare look into his eyes, I buried my head and bit my lower lip tightly, the hands behind my back clenched into fists, even the tips of my fingers were pinched to the point of numbness.
