Chapter 47 Past Events
Chapter 47 Past Events
By the time I got home, it was completely dark.
Pushing open the door, Bai Youqing could see her brother busy in the kitchen. The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, and her stomach, which hadn't been very hungry before, started growling.
"Xiao Qing is back. Do you want to eat shrimp tonight?"
"shrimp?……"
"Yes, what kind of shrimp do you want to eat? Braised lobster, spicy lobster, steamed lobster, chilled lobster, garlic lobster..." Although he didn't intend to be a fan of Hoshino-sensei, he had to find a way to reward his sister for her efforts.
Thinking of his sister's dignified demeanor during dinner tonight, Bai Yuze knew without a doubt that she hadn't eaten enough, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Spicy crayfish!"
Without thinking, Bai Youqing blurted out,
But the next second,
The girl lowered her eyes, as if she had remembered something.
"What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood."
"Nothing, just reminded me of some old codger."
Bai Yuzhe was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "It's been so many years, and you still remember?"
Bai Xingjian, the father, liked to go fishing in his spare time.
One time, I had a lucky streak and caught a few big fish. I traded them with someone for a bucket of crayfish, and cooked a pot of spicy crayfish myself. The crayfish were red, oily, and fragrant. Without waiting for my wife and children, I ate them all by myself at the table, my mouth dripping with oil.
Bai Youqing, who was playing in the room, came out after smelling the aroma and stood to the side, staring longingly. "My dear daddy, what delicious thing are you eating?"
Her father, Bai Xingjian, tossed her a shrimp head, which Bai Youqing grabbed and started gnawing on, thoroughly enjoying herself, though it pricked her mouth a little. This made Bai Xingjian laugh.
He took a shrimp head, peeled off the hard shell to reveal the head containing shrimp roe, then plucked off the gills on both sides and stuffed it into Bai Youqing's mouth. "Silly child, eat this meat."
Young Bai Youqing always obeyed her father's words. She began to look for shrimp heads on the table and tried to peel off the hard shells to eat the "meat" inside.
Then Bai Youqing ate shrimp gills for the entire lunch break.
It wasn't until Bai Yuze came home from school at noon and peeled a lobster, handing the meat to Bai Youqing, that things changed.
Bai Youqing then realized that she had been deceived.
From then on, Bai Youqing's gaze towards her father changed.
"Hmph, the anniversary of his death is coming soon, and Old Deng never gets to eat lobster all year round. Why not just make him some spicy crayfish heads this year?" Bai Youqing offered her thoughtful suggestion.
"......"
I wonder if Bai Xingjian, the father, would be deeply moved if he heard his daughter say such filial words.
"Let's not talk about that old geezer anymore, he ruined my good mood today."
Bai Youqing pouted and said irritably.
"What's got you in such a good mood? Dating someone?" Bai Yuze turned his head and asked casually, "Today in the office, I heard from Teacher Zhang that you and that guy named Liu Guangze..."
"Ugh, this is so annoying. It must have been that bastard Ye Qing who did it. It's one thing to have outsiders bully our classmates, but I can't believe he's so shameless as to spread rumors, and you even heard them."
Before Bai Yuzhe could finish speaking, Bai Youqing interrupted him, her words filled with resentment.
"It's alright, the Political Education Office has already stopped the rumors, and they haven't spread too far yet. But Ye Qing from your class told me the details."
Bai Yuze paused in washing the lobsters, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"It's not a big deal. At worst, I'll just avoid him in the future."
Bai Youqing wasn't stupid. When she heard that the school had intervened, but her classmate Ye Qing was completely unharmed, she knew without a doubt that Ye Qing must have a powerful background.
Then think about my older brother, who was suddenly transferred from teaching an honors class to a regular class. It just doesn't make sense.
Unconsciously, a sense of guilt welled up in Bai Youqing's heart, but it was immediately followed by overwhelming anger and gritted teeth.
Well, it's one thing for Ye Qing to bully his classmates, but he's even bullying his own brother.
or?
I'll find some time to transform into a magical girl, capture him, and feed him to the monsters.
No, no, I am the embodiment of justice, a magical girl. How can I think like this? Besides, the magical elf Ai is currently living in my Green Ivy Star.
What if it leaks the information...?
"Is Ye Qing's family very powerful?" Bai Yuze was clearly not prepared to give up.
"Oh dear, Bai Yuze, I'm starving! I'll help you wash the shrimp, and you go prepare the seasonings."
Bai Youqing rolled up her sleeves, revealing her smooth, white arms, ready to help wash the shrimp.
"Go away, go away, don't come and cause trouble."
Bai Yuze pushed the other person out of the kitchen and started cooking again.
"Don't bother me while I'm cooking, or you'll end up smelling like cooking oil all over. If you're not busy, go take a shower first."
"Hmph, my good intentions have been wasted."
Bai Youqing mumbled something, but her body betrayed her as she ran to the balcony to collect the clothes and take a shower.
Watching his sister's retreating figure, Bai Yuze's previously smiling face darkened.
Is a rich kid eyeing his sister?
It doesn't seem likely, otherwise they wouldn't spread rumors; what would they be after?
Take some time to investigate while he's lost in thought.
Bai Youqing walked in from the balcony and said, "I hope I can eat crayfish as soon as I finish showering."
Her delicate face changed, and she said in a high-pitched voice, "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Okay, okay. Go take a shower. You're not a kid anymore. Sort your clothes properly and stop being so careless."
Bai Yuze smiled and turned his head to concentrate on cooking.
Bai Youqing took a bath at just the right time, just as Bai Yuze brought the lobsters to the table.
Bai Youqing walked out of the bathroom, her bright eyes and white teeth, her eyes like stars, and her physique perfectly developed.
Her two legs beneath the nightgown were taut and powerful, like a cheetah poised to pounce—strong, powerful, and exquisitely beautiful.
Her delicate, petite feet were completely exposed to the air.
Everything is great from top to bottom, but unfortunately the top is a bit barren.
"Let's eat, let's eat."
At the dinner table, the two fell into an unusual silence.
Bai Youqing wanted to tell her brother about what happened after she became a magical girl, but she felt it was better not to tell him these things to avoid making him worry.
Bai Yuze was thinking about how to better manage his time.
It's impossible to go to Hoshino-sensei to reschedule classes every time something happens; it's not good to bother him like that.
Unbeknownst to her, Bai Youqing felt as if a thin barrier had grown between her and her brother.
The thought of her brother being saved by her and having to respectfully call her "Magical Girl Lady" made her want to laugh.
Sigh, maybe this is the price of growing up.
After finishing her meal, Bai Youqing stood up to clear the dishes.
Bai Yuzhe snapped out of his reverie and looked at his younger sister with a look of surprise and doubt.
Huh? Did my little sister's personality really change that much after she became a magical girl?
If he had known earlier, he would have caught a magical spirit instead of waiting until now.
But it's not a bad deal now, who doesn't like to be lazy?
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a clap of thunder sounded outside, followed by flashes of lightning, and then a torrential downpour began, pounding against the windows with a loud crash.
As Bai Yuzhe walked onto the balcony and closed the window, he joked with Bai Youqing in the kitchen, "Don't you think this rain is like Dad warning me for daring to make my sister wash the dishes?"
Bai Youqing rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Hmph, if that old geezer were still alive, I would have to do all the cooking, let alone washing the dishes, as if he was afraid I wouldn't be able to get married in the future."
"Boom!"
Another thunderclap resounded, flashing and roaring fiercely in the dark night sky.
"Hiss, could it really be that old geezer warning me?"
Bai Youqing turned her gaze to the window, her voice becoming much softer, though her little mouth was still pouting incessantly.
Summer rain comes and goes quickly; Bai Youqing had just finished washing the dishes when the rain stopped.
Bai Yuzhe had initially thought his sister would become depressed, but to his surprise, she instead clicked her tongue in utter disdain.
"What a waste! It only rained for a short while before stopping. What a piece of trashy rain."
After saying that, he turned around and went into his room.
Bai Yuze, however, could see a few drops of raindrops falling on the floor, which were very clear and bright.
Stepping onto the balcony and reopening the window, a cool breeze greeted me.
It carries a hint of dampness, a touch of natural fragrance...
Bai Yuze gazed at the bright moon in the sky and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Dad, I will absolutely not let Xiaoqing get hurt."
"Whether the other party is human or ghost..."
