Volume 2, Chapter 49: Be my girlfriend, alright?
TL: flarewk
”What are you doing over here......I've been looking all over for you....”
”Waiting for someone.....”
Looks like she hadn't completely recovered yet.
”Who?”
Ma Qing Xue stared at me with empty, hollowed gazes, and finally she slowly stretched out her hands towards me.
”You've come, Xiao Dan, let's go and play together.”
The Xiao Dan addressing gave me a rather ma.s.sive shock....and my memory started to jogged around widly.
”Ma Qing Xue! What.......did you just........call me!”
”Have you brought the sh.e.l.ls....”
”What sh.e.l.ls........are you alright? Let's just go back first before talking about this.....”
”Have you brought the sh.e.l.ls......”
She smiled slightly as she repeated it again, which made me utterly bizarred.
”Xiao Dan, you said before, next time when we see each other again, you'll give me sh.e.l.ls.......”
”Stupid, in the river there's no...........sh.e.l.ls..........at all!”
I subconsciously said out that sentence, I remember......that sentence I had said it somewhere before.......
As my memories hastily jogged around to the past, fragments of my memories slowly formed out to be a clear picture.....this scene, I knew it from before!
I came here before, I came to this bridge........when I was young.....I came here.....
My speeding memories uncontrollably zoomed past to 9 years ago, and that was like today as well, a blisteringly hot summer day.
”Son, this year's summer holidays your mummy had some busy things to settle somewhere else.......well......daddy because of work as well also needs to go other places too for an a.s.signment for a period of time, so.......”
”So what then, lao bà!”
”So.....in order to take care of you......I have to let you'll suffer a little, accompanying me outside as well.....”
”Buy me a transformers action figure then I'll go!”
”Sure-sure-sure! As long as it's not too expensive will do......your dad is quite poor......”
”It's fine if you act poor in front of lao mà already, don't act poor as well in front of your son!”
The father's weak-point was being hurt by his son, and his face contorted painfully, with his expression becoming slightly furious.
”You this little thing, what rubbish are you talking about, be careful that I'll take your result slips and show to your mummy!”
”Lao bà! If you dared to do that, then I'll tell mom about your secret house savings as well, let's see who would suffer worse then!”
”Oh sure, you little unfilial brat, you actually dared to threaten me....I'll buy already......and I'll buy the best as well........”
”I love lao bà the most~”
”Get lost, go love your mummy.......”
The young father lovingly stroked the young boy's head, and chuckled as he carried the young boy onto his back.
”Time to go~”
After the train's long-distance journeying, the father and his child arrived at a city that they had never went before, and as the father looked at a rather impressive large building not far from the train station, his expression was extremely excited.
”This would be the Sun Group's main branch already.....your dad would probably be a leader at one of the sub branches of this company one day~”
”What use is that......”
”I can buy more toys for you that way!”
”Lao bà, become the most impressive leader then.”
”Don't let your mom know about this.....”
”Don't worry, as long as I have a remote-control toy car, I won't have the time to speak in front of lao mà anyway......”
”You this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you slaughtered me again!”
”Hehee, I've always wanted a remote-control toy car, and next time I'll definitely be a famous driver! Beep-beep-beep~”
”Gahaha, this dream is a little too tiny already, you must be like your lao bà, become an elite individual of society!”
”And afterwards at home being scolded by lao mà until your unable raise your head?”
The father's extremely pleased expression instantly wilted awkwardly..........
”Look here what's this? If you dared to expose me, be careful that I'll die along with you!”
”Lao bà, I'm just joking around.......don't take it seriously.......”
The father dangled a school results slip right in front of his child, which made the young boy rather gloomy, why would this kind of father that bring his son's failing grades around with him exist........
Quite a number of days later.
”Good boy, today you'll must also stay inside the hotel and don't run around...tomorrow we'll be able to go back already.”
”Ayy? Still must stay for one more day, I'm so bored! I stayed in this hotel for an entire week alreadyyy.......”
”Please understand your pitiful daddy on this......it'll be the last day, alright?”
”Sure-sure-sure, go go.......really....”
”As expected of my good ol' son, when I return I'm going to buy the best remote-control toy car available, and let you be the best driver ever!”
The father happily stroked the young boy's head in relief, but who knows that the boy had already another thought within his head just then.
One hour later.....
”Hehee, lao bà should have already gone long ago, it's time to go out and play yaay~”
The boy laid on the windowsill and unveiled a devilish grin, as he secretly ran out of the hotel.
”Lao bà is too dumb already, so this are adults huh.....gahahaha”
The young boy who escaped from the hotel excitedly ran around the streets, to him, it's like a brand new fresh adventure, which made his inner-self wildly exhilarated.
Who knows, in just a short half an hour later.......
”It's not fun.......boring.....terrible.......so hot......I'll go back to the hotel to get some air con.....”
The young boy who had just a three-minute pa.s.sion decided after a bout of serious thinking that he'd better head back to enjoy the refres.h.i.+ng breeze of air con.
On the way back, just beside a small bridge, he saw a young girl about to jump over the bridge's railings.
He who was extremely bored to the limits also followed the girl and jump over the railings.......
”Are you going to swim as well? I'll come along too.”
”N-no, no.....there's a little cat that dropped into the river.....save it please.....”
The young girl looked at the boy with an extremely pitiful eye gaze, hoping that he would help to save the little cat, but the young boy lost interest after hearing that it's not about swimming.
”Not swimming huh.........boring, good bye.......”
The boy who was about to jump across the railings backwards was stopped by the girl.
”You can't......please save the little kitty, it's very pitiful......see......it looked very painful in the water.....”
On the water, there's indeed a little kitten struggling, and the girl looked at the kitten anxiously, but the boy only felt that it's an annoyance.
”If you wanna save it then go ahead yourself.......my mom asked me to go home for lunch.......I'll go ahead first.”
The boy once again prepared to flip over the railings, but was blocked once again by the young girl....
”If you don't save the little kitty then you cannot leave!”
Pu Tong! Sounded like something had fell into the water.
The young girl pulled the boy with slightly too much force, and the boy who had lost his balance then fell into the river.......he actually knew how to swim, but due to it being so sudden, it can't be helped that he ended up panicking wildly in the river.
”Thank you......you're such a kind person, hurry up and save the little kitty then!”
The boy currently, had his inner thoughts crumbling; he was being drowned by the water, and was in a state of panic, he can't even let out a word of grimace, and can only struggle helplessly in the water.
As his position in the water when he fell was coincidentally near to the kitten, the kitten then casually crawled up the young boy's shoulders.
”Hey, there's a child who fell into the water.......”
A person walking by suddenly exclaimed in shock.
”Where?”
”Under the bridge!”
”You guys hurry up and carry that girl away from the railings, I'll go save that boy!”
A middle-aged man whose face was entirely bearded jumped into the waters, and his professional swimming skills made everyone present at scene applause in admiration.
The boy was being saved.
”Cough, cough........mister, thanks a lot......”
”Meow~”
The boy thanked the middle-aged man, and the cat that was saved along as well meowed.
”No need for thanks, where's your house, I'll send you back home.”
”It's alright for that mister, I'm able to go back by myself........”
”Ai~yoh, this child is quite the manly little fella~.......”
The middle-aged man chuckled as he patted the boy's shoulders, he had rather admired the young boy in front of him, as he thought that the reason why he was in the waters was due to his actions of wanting to save this little kitten right on his shoulders.
”Mister, what's your name, next time I'll definitely repay you....”
”It's alright, it's just a rather simple task.”
”I can't, my daddy taught me before, I must be appreciative and repay back those people who helped me!”
”Hahaha.....your dad does indeed have a fine son, it's a pity that I had a daughter, if I'm able to have a son like you then it'll be a blessing.”
”Thanks mister for the praise~”
”Mm, not bad, your such a polite kid.”
”Mister what's your name........”
”My name is Xia Qin, if you had any troubles next time then this mister can help you too~”
(TL: Hmm. Xia surname, why does this sound so vaguely familiar?)
”Wah! Uncle Xia is such a kind person!”
”Gahahaha! You this little kid had such a sweet mouth....”
The middle-aged man suddenly had the urge to just s.n.a.t.c.h away this sensible young boy to be his very own's son.
”I still had something on, so I'll be going first, take care, manly little fella!”
”Mm, good bye, Hero uncle!”
After the middle-aged man had left, the young girl ran down towards the river sh.o.r.e, and straightaway hugged the boy without saying a second word.
