With a flick of Zhouzhou's wrist, under their incredulous gaze, she unfurled the object in her hand, causing the sack to billow in the wind.
Sporting a gleeful grin, she asked, "Little Skinny Pole, do you like this bag?"
Spacious, utilitarian, and collapsible when empty, this was an essential item for stocking up, her most cherished bag indeed.
Little Skinny Pole must surely appreciate it, right? She gazed expectantly at the door, only to be t with a resounding clang as Huo Ji'an locked it from inside.
He no longer wanted to play with the Chubby Girl!
She lacked sincerity!
Hearing the commotion, Zhouzhou looked to the bodyguard in bewildernt, questioning, "Uncle Sweetie, didn't you say that if I gave the best bag, Little Skinny Pole would forgive ?" Why did it feel like things were getting worse?
The corner of the bodyguard's mouth twitched as he looked at her with a complex expression. "Master Zhou, perhaps it's best if you refrain from playing with your second brother for a while."
Two money lovers, each more frugal than the other. Giving soone a sack as a gift, was that even appropriate? Who wouldn't be angry?
Even if there was no anger before, there certainly would be now. Not to ntion, Huo Ji'an was already upset to begin with.
Perplexed by this, Zhouzhou tilted her head and questioned, "What does this have to do with Brother Dafu? It's not like he's the one who made Little Skinny Pole angry."
Seeing her innocent eyes, the bodyguard swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue, sighing softly.
"Forget it, you're still just children. This approach might not be suitable for you. Let's try sothing else."
As the words fell, Zhouzhou looked at him with a knowing expression, leaving him dumbfounded. "What's wrong?" he asked.
Zhouzhou confidently retorted, "Uncle Sweetie, you said this approach is for comforting girls, but you don't even have a girlfriend. That ans your thod is ineffective. I shouldn't have trusted you."
With that said, she patted his leg reassuringly with her chubby paw, comforting him. "Uncle Sweetie, don't worry. You'll definitely find a wife, just wait a bit longer."
The bodyguard murmured, "Thank you..." His mouth twitched, but he resisted the urge to retort, diverting the topic instead.
"Master Zhou, it's getting late. Perhaps you should go back to class. I'll stay here with the young master. Don't worry, he'll be fine. Sotis, it's good to have so ti alone when you're angry."
Zhouzhou looked at him skeptically. After all, he had been single for many years; his advice wasn't very credible.
Seeing through her thoughts, the bodyguard forced a smile and said, "Master Zhou, you might not believe it, but I'm actually quite good at comforting people."
Is that so? Zhouzhou's expression seed to say. After a mont of contemplation, she glanced inside and said, "Very well."
"Little Skinny Pole," Zhouzhou called out, "if you're still angry later, you can hit to vent. My fourth brother used to do that. Don't worry, I can take it. I won't get mad."
"And don't stay angry for too long; it's not good for your health. Uncle Yu will worry about you."
Upon hearing this, Huo Ji'an pouted and grunted softly. Actually, he wasn't angry anymore. He knew the Chubby Girl's apology was sincere; he was just a bit speechless.
She really hadn't seen much of the world, thinking a sack was the best thing ever. When he grew up and earned money, he would buy her the most expensive bags to show her what's truly best!
With this in mind, Huo Ji'an felt even less angry. However, he still had to maintain so restraint; he couldn't forgive her so easily. Otherwise, Chubby Girl would think he was easy to please, which wouldn't do.
He was genuinely a bit upset this ti. They had agreed to go to kindergarten together, but she secretly went to first grade instead. How could this be allowed?
After Zhouzhou finished speaking, she noticed no movent inside. Her ears drooped, feeling a bit dejected.
She took out all the candies from the bag and handed them to the bodyguard. "Uncle Sweetie, please give these to Little Skinny Pole."
Turning around, she addressed the door, "Little Skinny Pole, I left so candies for you. Eating them will improve your mood. I won't disturb you for now."
"Before I leave, I want to say one more thing: I really didn't an to abandon you. You're my best friend, and I did ss up this ti. I apologize to you sincerely."
With that, she bowed solemnly before leaving with asured steps.
Watching this scene, even the bodyguard's heart softened. Damn it, he was actually moved by the friendship of these kids.
Once Zhouzhou left, the door to the room quietly opened from inside.
Huo Ji'an spread his hands and said, "Where are the candies Chubby Girl gave ?"
The bodyguard handed him the candies.
Huo Ji'an held them in his hands and eyed the bodyguard suspiciously, "Uncle Sweetie, you didn't take my candies, did you?"
Hearing this, the bodyguard's eyes widened in disbelief. "How could you think that? Am I that kind of person?"
After a mont's thought, Huo Ji'an said, "Then, open your other hand."
At this, the bodyguard froze, quickly moving his hand behind his back, a pained expression on his face. "Young Master, you don't trust ? That's truly heartbreaking."
Huo Ji'an looked at him and said, "Uncle Sweetie, if you extend your other hand, I'll believe you."
The bodyguard sighed inwardly. There goes my dignity. With a mournful expression, he extended his hand, revealing a candy identical to the one in Huo Ji'an's hand.
Huo Ji'an couldn't help but glare at him, snatching the candy and handing him one from his pocket before shutting the door again.
This candy was given to him by Chubby Girl; he couldn't just give it away casually. He unwrapped the candy, and its sweet taste instantly lted on his tongue, spreading sweetness to his heart.
But the thought of Zhouzhou going to elentary school while leaving him alone in kindergarten made it hard for him to swallow.
Huo Ji'an propped his chin on his hand, contemplating. After a few seconds, his eyes lit up.
He could skip a grade too!
That way, they could play together again.
Without hesitation, Huo Ji'an imdiately called Yu Ze and told him his decision.
At this mont, Zhouzhou was still unaware of this. She was still worried about how to comfort Huo Ji'an, unsure when he would stop being angry.
Just then, Huo Ji'an walked over, and Zhouzhou's eyes lit up. She hurried over, "Little Skinny Pole, aren't you angry with anymore?"
But Huo Ji'an didn't even glance at her and simply walked past her.
Zhouzhou's spirits plumted. Little Skinny Pole was really hard to please.
She followed after him, but to no avail. Huo Ji'an completely ignored her, as if she were invisible.
Exhausted, Zhouzhou plopped down on a stool, wearing a troubled expression as she looked at the people beside her, unsure of what to do.
The bodyguard watched the two little troublemakers and couldn't help but stifle a laugh.
Indeed, it was quite entertaining to accompany Master Zhou at kindergarten.
