Chapter 104-105 Tease/Goodbye

  Unlike inland cities, the island city's September is not only not cool, but also the hottest month of the year. People on the street are wearing extremely cool clothes, and the cicadas are shouting loudly with their long necks, as if they are proclaiming their existence. The flower beds on both sides of the road are blooming with purple and red unknown small flowers, swaying and beautiful. Luo Ye squatted down to smell them, but there was no fragrance, shaking her head in disappointment. Some things' beautiful appearance can indeed deceive people.

  She and Luoyang, Luoshui agreed to meet at KFC on Nanjing Road, considering the time was not urgent, after school she wandered over directly.

  "Little brother, be good and let sister pinch your cheek. Sister will treat you to KFC. Be obedient and stretch out your little face. As long as I pinch it once, you can order whatever you want."

  The sweet and lovely voice of a loli girl stopped Luo Ye's footsteps as he was about to enter KFC. He looked over and saw a 16 or 17-year-old girl smiling and trying to pinch the cheeks of a 12 or 13-year-old boy, who was dodging and weaving with an embarrassed expression.

  。

  Judging from the girl's attire, her family background should be quite good. She is wearing high-quality silk and cotton blended dress that reaches just above the knee, paired with Daphne silver-white heeled sandals. Her figure is curvaceous and she looks very pretty, but her behavior...

  "Don't flash again, or sister won't treat you to dinner even if she catches it." The girl became impatient since she couldn't catch any.

  Little boy looked puzzled: "Sister, I don't know you either. If you pinch me and then run away, won't that be letting you pinch me for nothing?"

  The little girl's face turned red: "Am I, Yan Xing, someone who doesn't keep my word? If there was only one person left in this world who values credit, it would definitely be me. Quick, pinch sister for me."

  Lu Ye's lips curled up, this hobby is really strange, pinching someone's face can think of eating something, tsk... The girl pinched the little boy's face and pulled it out with a satisfied expression: "The feel is really good. Sister likes." Seemingly feeling Lu Ye's gaze, she turned her small face to look at Lu Ye and smiled: "No kidding, the feel is really good, why don't you try pinching too?"

  "No need! No need...... uh...... you continue...... continue......" Luo Ye hastily waved her hand and walked in, saying she wouldn't get involved in this muddy water.

  "It's really boring, what good hand feeling, won't enjoy..."

  Listening to the muttering behind her, Luo Ye's smile at the corner of her lips deepened. She wondered if that girl really invited the little boy to eat something.

  Luoyang and Luoshui haven't arrived yet. Lu Ye chose a bright spot by the side to sit down, so her siblings should be able to see her when they come from outside.

  Before long, the girl indeed led the little boy in. She was really creditworthy, letting the little boy order a lot of food to take away, and she ordered a hamburger, two egg tarts, and two roasted wings for herself. Holding her plate, she looked around and walked towards Luo Ye's position.

  "Do you think I'm stupid? Look at your mouth, it's about to reach the back of your ear." The girl placed a small plate in front of Luo Ye: "My name is Yan Xing Nong. And you?"

  "Lu Ye." Lu Ye couldn't help but laugh at the adorable and lively little girl, who was so cheerful and familiar, it was as if she had seen her for the first time.

  "Fallen leaves? Leaves that have fallen to the ground? Why would it be named like this?" Yan Xing's eyes widened in surprise, her cuteness rivaling that of a cartoon beauty.

  "Luò is the Luò of the poem, not the drop that falls. And besides, I have guests here, it's probably not very convenient later." Although Luò Yè liked him, she wasn't too familiar with Luò Yang and Luò Shuǐ after all. It would be impolite to invite someone to stay without asking her siblings' opinions, and besides, she really did have important things to discuss with Luò Shuǐ.

  "Look at you sitting here alone without ordering anything, I knew you were waiting for someone. He's arrived, so I'll leave now. I'm just looking out for you, let me tell you. Not many people can make Yan Xing feel comfortable, don't think I'm this nice to everyone." The girl handed the egg tart box to Luo Ye: "Want one to snack on first?"

  Lu Ye hastily shook his head: "I'm not hungry. Thank you, Lord Weiwu."

  "We're not just pretending, being overly sensitive doesn't fill our stomachs, I'm really hungry, I just moved in yesterday and was exhausted from cleaning all day..." Yan Xing muttered to himself, having already devoured a chicken wing.

  。

  "Right, are you waiting for your boyfriend?" Yan Xing said with a glance: "Let me help you take care of it, looking at your appearance, there aren't many tricks up your sleeve, don't let the boy deceive you."

  "How can you tell I don't have many tricks up my sleeve?" Luo Ye's face turned black as coal.

  "Generally speaking, girls who are pretty tend to have shorter temper."

  Luoye silently pulled out a stationery box from her backpack, opened it and held it up in front of Yan Xing.

  "What does it mean?" Yan Xing looked over curiously, her fine black curved eyebrows, charming big eyes, slightly upturned nose, and seductive red lips made the girl in the mirror look stunningly beautiful. "Hehe... mainly, I'm not as pretty as you, so I should be a bit more open-minded than you, besides, isn't it true that 'those who are in the situation are confused, while those who observe from outside are clear'? Isn't that right?"

  "Are you always so worried?" Luo Ye looked at Yan Xing who was smiling and felt a little helpless.

  "It's not like that, I only worry about people I like, what business is it of others?!" she said, taking a big bite of her hamburger.

  Lu Ye smiled and joked: "Uh......, your liking for me makes me very surprised, I'm flattered."

  "I'm a person who interacts with others based on intuition, your eyes are clean and clear, and you're also good-looking, I like it! Let me tell you, you're the first friend I've made since arriving in this city. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just let sister know and I'll help you take revenge!"

  Lu Ye smiled and looked at him: "The reason you like me is that just now you teased the little boy, I didn't stop it or show any disgust, which pleased you, right?"

  "Hehe... why say it out loud, anyway. It's just that I have this kind of hobby." Yan Xing glanced around to make sure no one was nearby, then leaned in close and whispered: "I'll tell you, when I see a cute little boy, I want to pinch him, and if I can't, my heart itches. Ah, if every day there were cute kids for me to pinch, how happy that would be!"

  Lu Ye: "......"

  "Don't look at me like I'm speechless, people always have hobbies, it's just that mine are a bit unusual." As she spoke, the food on the star-shaped plate had been swept clean, and she was hugging a large Coke cup, biting on the straw and slurping away, which really didn't match her elegant and refined image.

  "Isn't your family on this side?"

  "Ah, after my parents were transferred to work, it was inconvenient for me to go to their place to study. So I moved to my grandparents' house instead. You're wondering why I came out to eat KFC by myself, right?" Xing Dou scrunched up her face: "I'm telling you, my grandmother's cooking is almost invisible, without any oily or meaty flavors. I've only been living here for a day and I couldn't take it anymore, so I had to sneak out to satisfy my cravings."

  I'm really worried that if I stay at home, I won't be able to bear it and will end up stewing Little Noisy, Little Noisy is my grandmother's heart's treasure, and if things go wrong, my grandmother might make me die with her.

  "Pfft!" Luo Ye burst out laughing, this kid is really too cute. No need to ask, that little rascal must be her grandmother's spoiled pet, probably a cat or dog.

  "Hello?"

  "Where's your boyfriend? I'm telling you, it's not right for a girl to wait for a boy. You're spoiling him with this attitude!" Yan Xingnuo sucked on her straw and glanced around: "I've finished my meal, but the person you're waiting for hasn't even shown up. Doesn't he care about you at all?"

  "Not waiting for a boyfriend. Waiting for two good friends, siblings, they are quite far from here." Luo Ye glanced at the time: "Should be arriving soon."

  "Ah, you didn't say so earlier... Shh... I'll hide beside you. Don't look around and arouse suspicion!" As he spoke, Yan Xing swiftly dodged to Luo Ye's side and crouched down, his speed rivaling that of a trained special agent.

  Luo Ye's face was filled with confusion, just as she was about to ask what was going on. Then she saw the little boy whose face had been pinched by Yan Xing and a middle-aged woman enter the restaurant, the mother and son looking around everywhere, clearly searching for someone.

  The corner of Luo Ye's mouth curled up: "Isn't it cool to bully people? Let's go and bully a few more, they're all delivered to our doorstep, what a waste if we don't."

  "Absolutely cannot sell me out. Even if they came to thank me for giving them so many meals, it's not okay. If my grandfather finds out, he'll beat me to death. Amitabha, Buddha protect me..."

  In someone's murmuring voice, the little boy actually walked over with his mother, Luo Ye's heart also tightened, had she been discovered?

  "It's all over, it's all over..." Xing Dong saw the mother and son moving towards this direction from under the table.

  "Why didn't I think of this when I was scheming?" Luo Ye's mind was also racing for a countermeasure.

  Just then, Luoyang and Luoshui pushed open the door and came in. At a glance, they saw Luoye. Luoyang quickly ran over: "Sister Ye, my brother and I rushed to get here, have you been waiting anxiously?"

  Luo Ye hastily made a signal with her eyes to Luo Yang: "Yang Yang, stand here for now and don't move."

  Luoyang was taken aback and, trusting Luoye, didn't ask for a reason. He just stood there holding Luoye's hand: "Sister Ye, I'm going to die."

  "Yangyang, I miss you too." Luo Ye said, beckoning over Luo Shui: "Luo Shui, sit across from me."

  Luo Shui sat down at the same time and looked at his own sister with a puzzled expression: "Yang Yang, why are you standing there?"

  "Sister..." The little boy came over, his eyes welling up with tears as he stood beside Luo Shui and stared at Luo Ye: "Sister, do you still recognize me?"

  "Is there anything you need help with from your sister?" Luo Ye saw the expressions of the mother and son, but roughly guessed the reason.

  "Sister, my mom doesn't believe that sister just pinched my face and bought me so many delicious things. She scolded me and made me bring her to find that sister to prove it, but that sister seems to have left already. When I went out, I saw you smiling at me, sister. Can you help me prove it, right?"

  "Yes, I can vouch for him!" Luo Ye looked at the middle-aged woman: "Auntie, I can prove it for him, what he said is true."

  "How could this be?" The middle-aged woman looked puzzled: "Little girl, my family is poor, but I don't want my child to have no backbone. If he stole something that belongs to others or ate leftovers given by others, I won't forgive him. I don't want you to help him cover it up."

  。”

  Luo Ye smiled: "Auntie, I just met him at the door, and that girl brought him to order food, I also saw it, I just said what I saw, whether you believe it or not is up to you."

  The little boy looked up at the middle-aged woman with tears in his eyes: "Mom, I was thinking, you've never had KFC before. I wanted to eat it with you, so I asked my sister to pack some for me to take back. Really. If you don't like it, I won't let anyone pinch my face again."

  A middle-aged woman hugged a little boy: "Dongdong..."

  "Auntie, it was me who pinched him, and I'm the one who bought those snacks for him too!" Yan Xing suddenly stood up, startling Luo Yang who was standing next to Luo Ye.

  "Sister, you haven't left yet?" The little boy's face showed a surprised expression.

  "Yes. Hehe......" Xing looked at the middle-aged woman with embarrassment: "Auntie, sorry, I... hehe... Luo Ye helped me hide that it was my fault, don't blame her."

  Luoye speechless rubbed her forehead, this girl is too impulsive, the little boy's mother took one look at her expression and believed it, alas, why did she still jump out!

  A middle-aged woman shook her head repeatedly: "It's not your fault, it's not your fault. He said you agreed to pinch his cheek and let him order what he likes to eat. I really didn't believe such a good thing would happen, I should be thanking you instead. I've always been reluctant to let him eat KFC..." She looked at the little boy with heartache: "Dongdong, Mom apologizes to you for hitting you without distinguishing between right and wrong. But Mom was really afraid that you wouldn't stand up for yourself..."

  Little boy interrupts middle-aged woman: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be a child with backbone and live a carefree rural life. Study hard and take good care of mom in the future, make dad regret."

  "Ah, mom is waiting for her son to speak up for her." The middle-aged woman looked at Luo Ye and Yan Xing Tong: "Thank you, two young ladies."

  "Thank you sisters, goodbye sisters!"

  "Auntie goodbye! Dongdong goodbye!"

  “……”

  The mother and son walked out of the door. Xing Dong slapped his forehead: "Luoye, I'm leaving too! If fate permits, we'll meet again! Goodbye!"

  "Bye!"

  "Yè ér jiě jie. She... what's going on?" Luò yáng stared blankly at Yán xīng nòng as she suddenly ran out, and through the glass, he could clearly see her catch up to the mother and son, speaking excitedly with a flying expression.

  "We just met while waiting for you, a lovely and playful girl. Hurry up and sit down, Baoyang! You've been standing for so long, aren't you tired?"

  Luoyang smiled sweetly: "Not tired. Standing next to Sister Ye, how can I be tired? Look at my brother, so diligent, he went to order food on his own initiative."

  Lu Ye doted on and rubbed Lu Yang's little head: "Still can't help but feel heartache for this younger sister of mine."

  "Hehe...... I really can't imagine what my life would be like without my brother, he's been taking care of me since I was 6 years old"

  Luoyang's face lit up with pride whenever she mentioned her brother, it was clear that she admired him greatly.

  Luoshui walked over with a plate in one hand and put it down: "Luoye, I also know what you love to eat, so I ordered a portion according to Yangyang's standard."

  "It's all right." Luo Ye smiled slightly, this boy's meticulousness seemed to be only for his sister.

  Luoshui didn't say anything, and Luoye also didn't mention it. He bit the straw and chatted with Luoyang, making him laugh constantly, until he rubbed his cheeks and shouted that his face hurt.

  "Luoye......" Lu Shui finally couldn't bear it anymore.

  "What's up?" Luo Ye looked at Luo Shui with feigned puzzlement. This man was too proud, and if she wanted to cooperate with him smoothly, she had to suppress his pride a bit; otherwise, when they disagreed in the future, it would be hard to say what might happen.

  Anyway, for her, it's best to cooperate, and if not, it doesn't matter. The stocks she bought a while ago have just been sold out, with a profit of over ten times. Now she is also a multimillionaire, close to a billionaire. Investing can be done slowly.

  "I've already made it clear in my previous message." Luo Shui's eyebrows twitched, as he rarely interacted with girls other than his sister. If not for the tempting proposal from her, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to find her.

  Lu Ye's face sank: "Luo Shui, cooperation requires mutual respect. If you have this kind of attitude, let's not talk about it anymore."

  "Lu Ye..." Lu Shui looked at his sister for help, he had always been focused on studying technology and was really not good at handling this kind of thing.

  "Leaf sister, forgive brother, he's just that kind of temper, so arrogant, it's already surprising enough for me that he took the initiative to write a letter to invite Leaf sister. Luoyang blinked her big cute eyes, with a thoughtful expression: "Anyway, from what I remember, brother has never taken the initiative to greet any girl since I was little, really, whoever lies will be bitten by a small dog."

  "Yang Yang, what I discussed with him was cooperation. The technology is mostly mine, and he's in charge of perfecting it. This has nothing to do with whether or not he interacts with girls, and we can completely ignore the issue of gender." Luo Ye looked at Luo Shui seriously: "Don't think that I want to control your company. It's undeniable that you're very talented and have a good business mind."

  However, I'll be blunt and say that your personality is a bit extreme. If my investment and technology only account for a small portion without controlling shares, I'd rather not do it. Think carefully, if you can put aside your pride and listen to my suggestions, we can cooperate; otherwise, let's just drop this matter.

  A hint of anger appeared on Luo Shui's face: "Extreme? I am indeed extreme. If you had gone through what I have, you would completely understand my feelings. From childhood to adulthood, my sister and I suffered from discrimination and cold eyes. Do you know why I don't interact with girls? Because they are too pragmatic, and my sister can attest to this."

  Luoyang quickly pulled Luo Ye and explained: "Ye sister, brother is telling the truth. In the past, there were girls who liked brother, but after going to my house and seeing the conditions of my family, they broke up with brother the next day. Of course, at that time, dad and mom had not yet become successful."

  "Luoshui, at that time you were only 13 or 14 years old, right? Is it worth holding onto the grudges of childhood until today? This world has never lacked people who look down on others, nor those who are truly kind-hearted. Just because we've encountered evil doesn't mean we can't believe in goodness. I remember when I said that my brother and I were also discriminated against, Luoshui sneered at us. Now, I'll tell you about our experiences, not to compare whose is more miserable, but to help you understand..."

  "Some things you see and think about aren't necessarily what you recognize..."

  "Yexie sister, I didn't expect that you and Luofeng brother went through something even more miserable than me and my brother." After Luo Ye finished speaking, Luo Yang wiped away tears while sobbing.

  Lu Ye smiled and took a tissue to wipe away Luo Yang's tears: "It's all in the past. Look at you, crying like a little kitten. Actually, thinking about it now, it wasn't that bad, on the contrary, it was more of a tempering experience for me. Lu Shui, don't hold onto so much resentment. I agree with your efforts to take back what belongs to you, but also don't lose faith in everyone in this world, especially not your own parents. Otherwise, you will regret it later."

  Luoshui nodded: "I will carefully consider your suggestion, regarding the company's affairs, I completely agree with you. Your technology and vision are indeed stronger than mine. I'll draft a contract later, take a look at it if you're satisfied, we can start handling the registration, how about that?"

  "Alright, the company's operations will mainly rely on you. I'll take care of the overall direction and technology. You report the accounts to me once a month. If everything is clear and transparent, there will be fewer disputes, right?"

  "Alright, I've decided to ignore your gender from now on, you're quite carefree."

  "Luoshui, are you praising me or belittling me?" Luoye smiled wryly.

  "Of course, I'm complimenting you. Previously, I always thought that girls were a bit narrow-minded when it came to doing things, which is why I was particularly unwilling when you said you wanted to take control of the shares. But through your explanation just now, I understand your plan for the development of Wenyin Garden, and I have come to realize that in this aspect, I am not as good as you. Your vision is broader than most men's, and it can be seen from the fact that you dared to use Su Yan's husband."

  "Yexi sister, my brother rarely praises people. He studied well in school and has been independent since high school. It's not easy to be praised by him." Luoyang was very happy about his brother cooperating with Luoye, and he was even more delighted to see the improvement in their relationship.

  Lu Ye stroked his forehead: "Lu Yang, you can be Lu Shui's agent now."

  ……

  It was not yet dark in September, and Luo Ye returned home at nearly seven o'clock. She could still vaguely see as she entered the courtyard gate and found a large moving truck driving away. Curiously, she asked the gatekeeper: "Uncle Xiaolou, whose family is moving?"

  The mayor's daughter asked, and Xiaolou naturally replied with enthusiasm in a low voice: "It was Wang Lidong, the deputy head of the Organization Department. I heard he was sentenced to life imprisonment."

  "Life imprisonment?" Luo Ye was stunned. She had thought it was fifteen years, and he should have been released early. Just a while ago, she was even wondering why Wang Lidong hadn't gone in yet.

  "Yeah, I heard he's involved with a drug trafficking gang. Of course, that's just what I've heard from people in the courtyard, haha, don't mind it." Xiaolou said, seeming to think he'd misspoken, and smiled awkwardly.
