Chapter 34 How could I be so stupid?
In the evening, Zhou Xiaobai took An Qianqian home, where Liu Xiaoli stood with her arms crossed at the door.
Her eyes widened, flashing with a cold light like a flying knife aimed straight at Zhou Xiaobai's heart, making his legs tremble.
Liu Xiaoli even sent him home.
I jogged back and ran into Zhou Wenqiong's strange, even more chilling gaze.
He muttered to himself: Am I seeing a ghost? Both of my older sisters are so scary?
Zhou Xiaobai looked down at his clothes, then ran to the mirror to look at himself, but didn't find anything unusual.
The old lady had an extra meal tonight. To congratulate him on overcoming his aversion to school and to celebrate his future success, there were ten dishes.
Amidst Zhou Wenqiong's "tsk tsk" sounds, Zhou Xiaobai's belly was stretched round by the old lady.
After dinner, it was time for the phone call I had arranged with Fan Bingbing and Tong Liya.
As usual, he first asked Zhou Wenqiong to leave the room.
This time, I'll call Tong Liya first.
The call connected after two beeps.
"Hello! Little Bai?" A voice came from the other end of the phone immediately. It was clear that Tong Liya had been waiting nearby for a while. She had been studying during the day and going out to practice dancing at night. She was also full of anger and wanted to find someone to talk to.
"Sister Ya Ya, it's me."
The two immediately started chatting away.
Tong Liya complained that it was freezing outside, but her mother was still forcing her to go out to learn to dance, saying that she had sent raisins again last week.
Zhou Xiaobai excitedly shared that he is now a top student, and also mentioned that An Qianqian beat him up again.
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as An Qianqian was brought up, Tong Liya immediately started asking how she had been beaten.
Zhou Xiaobai went on and on, portraying An Qianqian as a vicious tigress.
Of course, we can't talk about the space right now. Tong Liya isn't a member of the system yet, and if she did, she'd definitely be struck by lightning.
Zhou Wenqiong, who was eavesdropping outside, was stunned. Her niece's beating had escalated again? She thought, "I'll do the same later."
The conversation quickly turned to Zhou Wenqiong again, making her inwardly sneer: This little brat was complaining about her on the phone again, saying that she stared at him as soon as he got home, which was really creepy. He also said that Liu Xiaoli bullied him…
Tong Liya offered him another round of comforting words, even encouraging him to run away to Xinjiang.
He even planned out how to take the bus and which train ticket to buy, and said he could send him money first.
It seems she's had this idea for a while now.
After chatting with Tong Liya, Zhou Xiaobai immediately called Fan Bingbing.
The two confessed their love to each other, and Zhou Xiaobai once again accused Zhou Wenqiong of her evil deeds.
Fan Bingbing directly said she would come to pick him up—the core idea being that as long as he came, she would have money and manpower, and she would protect him!
Most importantly, she was incredibly audacious, directly declaring, "She dares to bully you? Wait till I get here and teach her a lesson!"
Zhou Xiaobai still had some conscience and hurriedly tried to dissuade her: "No, no, no! Sister Bingbing, you might not be able to beat her right now..."
However, his next words made Zhou Wenqiong, who was eavesdropping, laugh in anger: "...Why don't you call Yaya to come along? Two against one, that's safer."
After hanging up the receiver, Zhou Wenqiong began to make plans in her mind—
We really need to teach this brat a lesson, or he might cause some serious trouble.
He's probably feeling pretty smug right now, he definitely didn't expect to pull this stunt.
As she was thinking, Zhou Wenqiong threw a punch at the air, as if she could already see the wonderful scene of Zhou Xiaobai being completely subdued by her.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xiaobai was still having a long phone conversation with Fan Bingbing in the room, completely unaware that someone outside the door was already sharpening a knife.
After finally hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiaobai opened the door and saw Zhou Wenqiong standing there with a strange smile on her face, which made his heart tighten.
"Why...why are you looking at me like that?" Zhou Xiaobai tried to remain calm.
Zhou Wenqiong didn't answer, but squeezed into the room, lay down on the bed, and beckoned to him: "Come here."
Zhou Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat: Is this an attempt to suffocate me? Or to overeat me?
"What do you want to do?" he asked again hesitantly, his feet feeling like they were made of lead, as he slowly and reluctantly moved to the bedside.
Zhou Wenqiong grabbed his arm and pulled him to sit down on the edge of the bed. Then she stared intently at him, her eyes seeming to pierce through him.
"Little brother, tell me honestly, are you hiding something from me?" Zhou Wenqiong's voice was deep and powerful.
Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help but shiver again. He tried his best to appear innocent: "Sister, what are you saying? What could I possibly be hiding from you?"
"Where did you go today?" Zhou Wenqiong decided to find a breakthrough point and start by casually asking questions.
"The orphanage, you know it, right? Didn't Qianqian go there after having lunch with you?" Zhou Xiaobai answered quickly.
"real?"
"Absolutely true!"
Zhou Wenqiong sneered, grabbed Zhou Xiaobai's ear and pulled him closer, whispering in his ear with a hint of threat: "I believe you on this."
She paused, then changed the subject, "What about your sister Yaya and sister Bingbing? Something's definitely going on between you two. Don't think I can't tell; you always kick me out when I call them!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai felt a little relieved. He switched to a more respectful address: "Sister, you've misunderstood. We're just good friends, there's really nothing between us!"
Zhou Wenqiong's eyes flashed with disdain, and she deliberately dragged out the last syllable: "Good friends? Humph! Nobody believes that. You'd better behave yourself, or else..."
Zhou Xiaobai's mind raced, trying to figure out if it was something to do with the system, or about the phone call where she complained about her. There was no way she could know that!
"You think you're all grown up now, huh?"
Seeing that he was feigning ignorance, Zhou Wenqiong decided to be blunt. She put one hand on her hip, pointed the other at his nose, and revealed her fierce expression: "I heard you even called them to deal with me? I heard they were even going to book train tickets for you?"
Zhou Xiaobai's mind went blank for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the phone on the bedside table. "You...you were eavesdropping?"
Zhou Wenqiong shoved the telephone receiver from the bedside table into his ear, then got up and went to the living room to pick up another part of the phone.
Soon, Zhou Wenqiong's voice came clearly through the receiver.
"puff…"
Zhou Xiaobai froze instantly. High technology can be used like this?
How could I be so stupid!
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, his mind racing as he tried to come up with a story...
But seeing Zhou Wenqiong with her arms crossed and an expression that said "I'm watching your performance," he really couldn't continue making up a story.
Forget it, I'll just admit defeat!
Zhou Xiaobai gave an embarrassed smile: "Sister...that...that was all just nonsense. You're my own sister, how could I let them deal with you? Besides, they can't beat you!"
"Oh ho! So you mean you can fight if you can beat them?"
Zhou Wenqiong looked mocking, slowly took out the feather duster she had prepared, and then shouted at Zhou Xiaobai, "Stop talking nonsense, get in bed, I have something important to ask you."
Actually, the core reason she made such a big fuss tonight was to ask if it was possible to stay young forever.
This was the final decision she and Liu Xiaoli reached.
To prevent collusion, we must act separately, taking them down one by one, with each person dealing with one little brat.
It's good to get an answer, but it's okay if you don't.
As for those complaints over the phone, she thought they were just kids playing around, and she would mention them casually to scare him.
"Now, tell me honestly, how did your face become so young? Stop trying to fool me with that ancestral technique. Oh, and this—" Zhou Wenqiong held up the pair of large balloons, pretending to cover his mouth.
Zhou Xiaobai lived two lives.
He had never been bullied like this in his previous life. If he had to suffer such a great humiliation in this life, he would feel that he could no longer tolerate it. So he should no longer tolerate it!
He let out a howl and pounced to bite...
In the end, Zhou Xiaobai's buttocks were bruised and battered, defeated by Zhou Wenqiong's feather duster.
He signed the treaty under duress, promising to tell his older sister later.
Meanwhile, Anxixi was also being tortured.
