Volume 4, Chapter 71: Don't peek
TL: flarewk
Her house was located in a small district with a greenery that was made rather well-done, at the moment, the gradually setting western sun still had quite a couple of warmth s.h.i.+ning. She was squatting at one of the large trees beneath her district entrance, with both of her hands supporting her head while looking at the pa.s.serbys walking to and fro into the district, and when she saw me she was a little surprised, with her expression instantly lighting up in delight; looks like she didn't expect that it was me who would come to deliver her keys.
”Next time be careful a little, don't be that negligent.”
I looked at Ma Qing Xue who approached me, and after pa.s.sing the keys to her, turned around, preparing to leave.
”Wait, thanks for the help, Zhang Jian, come up and sit for a while....”
”No need.”
”You still have something on?”
”No.....”
”Since you have nothing on too, just come up and sit for awhile, I'll treat you dinner.”
”Forget it, I don't want to trouble you.”
”What's there to be troubled about, it's just a minor thing only, and also.....I plan to prepare steak tonight, the taste shouldn't be that different from the one at Prez's western restaurant......”
Steak.....so my favorite preferred food had really been thoroughly understood by her, purposely learning how to make steak just for me huh......
”Alright, then I'll just go along with my fate then, to be honest, compared to Prez's western restaurant, I loved eating your roasted pork as well, since that was my first time eating something from you.”
Similarly, that was one of my most difficult phases as well....... during that period of time, I had been always eating hard buns and plain water.
”I'll also make them for you~!”
”Don't, I can't finish that much, it's better to just only make some steak.”
”Mm, come to my house first then, after placing down our bags I'll go change my clothes and we'll go to the nearest supermarket to buy some ingredients.”
Using the key to open the house thereafter, I followed behind Ma Qing Xue and entered her home, the decor and furnis.h.i.+ngs inside were all warm toned, giving a rather heartwarming feel, which wasn't bad at all.
”Um....uncle and auntie usually won't return home?”
”Mm.....since they're busy with their work, so there's no choice, but for this daughter of theirs to be more understanding.....”
Ma Qing Xue gave me a chuckle, but that loneliness within it wasn't entirely disguised, with some bouts of it leaking out a little.
”Sigh, if only my meimei was even half of your sensibility, when we were young she always treat me as a maid, servant at home every day, and now when she's grown up she still was that stubborn.......”
Recalling back to Xiao Yu who previously had just parted me not too long ago, indeed, if Xiao Yu was to be as sensible as Ma Qing Xue, I don't know how less frequent I would be able to worry about her, but thinking of Xiao Yu's past experiences and her age right now, actually it's still considered to be rather fine too.
”Your meimei huh......she's so lucky, sometimes I'm quite jealous of her for having such a gege like you, but then later I thought it through and gave it up, since a sibling's relations.h.i.+p wouldn't be as good as a husband and wife's.......”
”Ahaha.....about this, it's best to leave it to one's perspective....”
I grudgingly laughed, and avoided this topic, as pursing about this topic of conversation would be completely meaningless.
”I'll go change my clothes first, you must absolutely not peek okay!”
”Am I that kind of person?”
”That's why, don't peek!”
”Rest a.s.sured.... I won't.”
”You promised, don't peek, because once you peeked then I'm helpless to do anything against you too......since mom and dad aren't home right now, I'm afraid that you'll act impulsively or whatnot......”
I somehow felt that I heard a slight tone of different meaning from her voice, was she hinting something towards me......
”What happens if I was to act impulsively.....”
”Think about it, I'm just a girl, so I definitely won't have the strength to retaliate against a boy like you....and I'm scared when that time comes, you'll.......commit a grave mistake, but even if it's like that, I'll also forgive you!”
”You....you think too much, I still consider myself to be a person with a lot of self-control.......”
”Oh right, if you really want to commit a mistake.......you must be mindful of safety.”
She lastly pointed towards a cabinet in the living room, and ownself ran off to her bedroom to change. I curiously opened up the cabinet to take a glance, and immediately thought of Prez.......
Prez always liked to think filthy, and had many times reminded me to always be mindful of safety.....this safety's definitely the safety from Prez, and how many people had she provided the safety with! Why are they such experts?
Returning once more to that sofa in the living room, I suddenly noticed, Ma Qing Xue actually didn't close the door when she was changing.....
This definitely is on purpose, why would that innocent her once before would turn into like that.....was it because of me after all.....
My heart really aches.....d.a.m.n it!
I rearranged my current position, and sat towards the most corner of the sofa, in this position I won't be able to view the bedroom at all, now being extremely safe.
Right now, I had no idea why I'm a little heating up, even though just now I've merely accidentally seen what I shouldn't have been seeing, and even though I've already decided onto closing my eyes to change my position too.......
Currently within my mind, suddenly appeared three choices, the first would be to just prepare some safety and go ahead without restraining back, the second is to just take another peek, and the third is to chant Buddhist scriptures..........
Which one should I choose right now.......if it's the first, that exactly would be like the most perfect absolute opportunity ever, and if I missed it, I'll have some kind of regretful feeling after it's gone; the second would be the compromising decision, after pa.s.sing through my old veteran's eye to swiftly record down the figure of Ma Qing Xue right now and saving it to my brain's hard disk drive, then taking it out at night to use it........the third choice was to be an upright and honorable person.
To do or not to do? Don't be wimp at such a crucial moment....who knows that today I'll be able to climb the ladder towards adulthood!
Take a peek, just only a peek...since Ma Qing Xue also won't be losing out in any way too.......
l.u.s.t is emptiness; emptiness is l.u.s.t.........l.u.s.t is emptiness; emptiness is l.u.s.t............
”There's no choice then, I'll ask my comrades online!”
I took out my phone, and quickly posted a topic in a forum, a girl is hinting me to do her, what should I do?
However, all the replies I got were mates who all had the same mindset, it's late already, time for you to brush your teeth and go to bed.....
The only different reply was the one that were filled with explosives, like kill you....bomb you to death.....and so on.
”h.e.l.lo.......Lao bà, right?”
I really can't take it anymore, I need to call and ask an adult's opinion!
”You this brat, what do you want.....if you're looking for money then there's none, go away and find your mom.”
”Lao bà, want to hug your grandson?”
”...........”
Lao bà on the other side of the phone didn't say a word, he became silent, and I only heard the sound of a lighter lighting up, my Lao bà who didn't smoke for a very long time had started to smoke right now.
”Let me calm down for a moment first, being your father, I originally wanted to sincerely explain about responsibility, but after Xiao Yu heard this, right now she's holding a knife towards my throat wanting money to buy air tickets......it's up to you now.”
”Did Xiao Yu said anything.....”
”She said it must be a lie, she wants to personally open it up and examine it.....”
”Pa.s.s this along to Xiao Yu, I still haven't done anything yet.....let her calm down.”
”Then your purpose onto calling is?”
