BXBX NOVEL Chapter 66 Can't do it!
“My mom just adopted my sisters Friday night,” An Xiulan answered as she glanced at him. “Their mother died after giving birth to them and my mom adopted them.”
She said it in such a nonchalant manner that she forgot to inform him that she was talking about cats, not humans. It could be seen from the look on his face that he was more than just surprised. No normal individual adopts children just like that. It was very expensive to raise a single child in the first place but adopting two children?
“Wow, your mom sure is rich,” Han Zixin commented. Only a ridiculous rich person would adopt children just like that or someone who had affection for newly born children.
“We are not rich,” An Xiulan sighed. “I don’t know why you think we are that rich. We are just a little rich. That’s because my mom works too hard for us.”
“An Xiulan, admit that you are a rich kid, “Han Zixin said with a deep breath. No normal kid carried a black card like she was carrying that day.
“Cheat prince, we really are not rich,” An Xiulan genuinely replied.
“Don’t you live in a palace-like mansion?” inquired Han Zixin with a raise of his brow.
“Nope, we live in a small villa,” answered An Xiulan. “Meimei, my maid is a poor girl who is working hard at our home to afford her younger brother’s school fees. Even our gardener uncle is poor. I heard all our staff are not that well off. So, how are we rich?”.
Why?
Just why?
Why did he forget that whenever he was talking to An Xiulan his IQ was bound to fall down? Logic and An Xiulan could never be present at the same time.
“I will get you the toy,” said Han Zixin as he gently pushed her away.
In a matter of five minutes, he got her five toys. She was immensely happy when he handed all the cute stuff toys.
“Cheat Prince, well done!” An Xiulan brightly smiled at him and she showed him a well down sign.
Han Zixin turned her face away as he felt something warm on his cheeks. He was not used to praise.
“How many toys did Yan Shan get for his date?” An Xiulan asked as she saw the boy putting a cute hairband on the girl’s head.
“One,” Han Zixin said with a straight face but a look of disgust could be seen in his eyes.
“How embarrassing,” An Xiulan made a bad face. She hadn’t gained the ability of maintaining a poker face yet like a certain big boss. “Cheat prince, don’t be an embarrassing boyfriend when you come out with your girlfriend on a date in the future. But make sure, it’s not puppy love.”
…
Now they were in a restaurant in the mall where Yan Shan and his girl were talking to each other while eating their lunch.
“Look, they are definitely dating! They are sharing a same drink,” Han Zixin reacted as he turned his head to look at An Xiulan who got caught red-handed.
She gave him an embarrassed smile as he scratched her head and muttered, “Cheat Prince, your drink is more delicious than mine.”
Han Zixin fiercely glared at the thief who was drinking from his straw while he was doing the job they were supposed to do. How could she get so hungry after finishing two boxes of popcorn? Not only this, she was drinking from his cup too while she just finished hers.
What was he supposed to do with her?
He slapped her hand away when he saw she was sneaking food from his plate too.
“Have some shame, An Xiulan!” Han Zixin glared at her.
An Xiulan smiled at him and said, “What’s shame? Is it something new on the menu? Is it delicious? Can I eat it?”
Who was he even trying to understand?
“Holy shit,” Han Zixin murdered when his eyes fell on the table where Yan Shan and the girl were occupying earlier. He saw two elders joining the children. Not just any elders but Yan Shan’s father and the girl’s mother. As to how he knows about them. He had seen Yan Shan’s father often as he was a plumber and the steel pipe that he had was taken from the man. And as for the girl’s mother, she runs a very famous stall outside the school.
“What’s wrong?” An Xiulan asked as he saw his eyes glued to the teenagers’ table where tap elders were joining them.
“They are meeting each other’s parents,” Han Zixin muttered under his breath. “Did they skip all the other stages?”
“What are you muttering to yourself?” An Xiulan asked him when she couldn’t hold her curiosity anymore.
Han Zixin showed her the novel again. “You see, they jumped all the stages of dating and are directly meeting their parents. Generally, both the parties meet parents when they want to marry each other.”
“Haww,” An Xiulan gasped, putting her hands on her mouth. “Cheat Prince, we failed to protect our classmate. Sob. Sob. We failed to prevent him from falling into the ditch of puppy love. What will become of our class’s Yan Shan? Does it mean he is not only doing puppy love but puppy marriage too?”
“Are you done?” Han Zixin raised his brow at the girl.
“No,” An Xiulan smiled and wiped her invisible tears. “I still have to cry for his grim future.”
“Then, where are your tears?” Han Zixin inquired.
“Heheheh, can’t you see my glittery eyeliner is a whole twenty dollars?” An Xiulan showed her perfect white.
“Wow, you sure are sincere,” Han Zixin sarcastically replied. What a trickster!
“Cheat Prince, since our classmate is getting married, shouldn’t we buy him a present?” An Xiulan asked like a magnanimous person that she was.
“Of course, we will after we spend two months learning discipline in Class Ten A,” Han Zixin kindly reminded her.
An Xiulan stared at him, wide-eyed. No way was she going to stay to enter the class of study monsters! Those wizards would eat her alive! No. No. No. Can’t do it!
