Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wen Yuechan burst into laughter and thought to herself, Long Xiaoxi is indeed a dimwit. What a stupid child, she doesn’t even know a thing about traditional poems. All she does is upset Teacher. When she grows up, she would definitely become a brainless good-for-nothing. Now that Jin Yiheng’s mother has heard about how foolish she is, she would definitely find Long Xiaoxi...
She would be speechless.
To her astonishment, An Xiaoning pulled Long Xiaoxi toward her and said with a smile, “Yes, you answered very well, Xiaoxi. You don’t have to excel in your academics. What matters is that you’re happy every day.”
Long Xiaoxi kissed her and said, “Godma, you’re so kind to me. If only Mommy had said that to me too. Mommy always tells me that I’ll become an idiot if I don’t do well in school.”
An Xiaoning grinned and pinch Long Xiaoxi’s chubby face. “Uh-oh, are you going to do well in school, then, Xiaoxi?”
“Yes, yes, Godma, I’m going to do my best and strive to excel in my academics.” Long Xiaoxi then stared at Jin Yiheng, whose eyes were glued onto his mobile phone screen. She said to An Xiaoning, “Godma, Mommy says that children shouldn’t be playing with electronic devices too frequently, they’re bad for our eyesight.”
“Yes, you’re right, Xiaoxi. Son, come here and switch off your mobile phone.”
Jin Yiheng had no choice but to do so quietly.
Long Xiaoxi smiled even wider upon the sight of him obeying.
On the way to the boot camp, Wen Yuechan tagged along with the rest of the children.
Fan Shixin was in charge of driving while the children sat together in the backseat. Long Xiaoxi was seated in between Jin Rongyan and Long Wenlun. She rested her head on her brother’s shoulder and remained silent, in contrast with her usual behavior.
“Xiaoxi...”
“Yes?”
“Are you reluctant to go to the boot camp?”
Long Xiaoxi looked up at her brother and said, “If only Brother Minhe can come along with us. Once I go to the boot camp, there’ll be no one else he can play with.”
“It’s alright, Minhe’s schoolmates will play with him.”
They arrived at the academy. Lessons would begin properly tomorrow and, hence, they still had some free time before bed.
Long Xiaoxi returned to her solitary dormitory and sneakily took out a bottle of wine that she had stolen from home.
She had secretly taken a sip of the sweet liquor before and found it to be delicious. However, her mother had always forbidden her from drinking since she was still a young child.
I’m already four-and-a-half years old, not an infant.
Hmph, I’m going to insist on drinking and defying your orders.
She twisted the cap open and began taking a few gulps of the liquor. “How delicious. I’ll stop after one more sip.”
She then took another sip and screwed the lid back on before putting the bottle aside.
Long Xiaoxi looked at the bottle of liquor again and soon began to salivate.
I really feel like taking another sip, just one more...
I’ll stop after one last mouthful.
At last, she followed her heart and opened the bottle again to take another two sips before finally stopping.
Half the bottle was gone after she was done drinking.
Long Xiaoxi began to get a dizzy spell and felt her face turning red and hot. She exited her bedroom and walked toward the boys’ dormitory next door on an unsteady gait.
Jin Yiheng was the only one in the room. He was playing with his mobile phone while the rest of the children were out for a game of soccer.
At the sight of her, Jin Yiheng remained silent. Long Xiaoxi slammed the door shut and began walking toward him.
She walked toward the bed and pounced onto Jin Yiheng, completely catching him off guard.
“Xiaoxi, have you been drinking?” he asked, realizing that she reeked of alcohol.
“Yes...”
“Where did the alcohol come from?”
“I stole it from home and brought it here.” She chuckled and continued, “It’s a delicious and sweet-tasting liquor. Would you like to have some too?”
Jin Yiheng nodded and asked, “Are there still any left?”
“Yes, there are some in my room. I’ll take you there,” she said, grabbing his hand.
The two children returned to Long Xiaoxi’s room, after which Jin Yiheng asked, “Where is it?”
Handing him the half-empty bottle of liquor, she said, “There you go.”
Jin Yiheng removed the lid and took two sips before exclaiming in delight, “It really tastes amazing.”
“I told you so.”
The two children sat on the bed and Long Xiaoxi said to him generously, “Finish all of it.”
Jin Yiheng did not stand on ceremony with her and finished the rest of the liquor before disposing the empty bottle into the dustbin.
“Why do I feel... my head is spinning...”
Long Xiaoxi threw her arms around his neck and murmured in a drunken stupor, “You’re... drunk too... Yiheng, you betrayed my trust and broke the vows we made to each other.”
“What vows...”
“You said that you would marry me when we grow up. You know that I detest Wen Yuechan and yet you still play with me... Are you planning to marry her when you grow up?”
He burped and said, “No.”
“Stop playing with her, then, I don’t like it.”
“Why won’t you allow me to play with her? If you don’t like her, just don’t play with her,” Jin Yiheng lamented.
Long Xiaoxi pushed him away and hissed, “Get out, I want to sleep.”
She kicked her shoes off and lay down on her bed with her back facing him.
“Xiaoxi...”
“I’m not going to talk to you ever again from now on! I’m not going to play with you anymore! Leave!”
Jin Yiheng knew that she had gotten upset again. He knelt on the bed and craned his neck to look at her.
He knew that she was pretending to be asleep. He lay down beside her and soon dozed off as well.
During dinner, the teachers instructed the children to call Jin Yiheng and Long Xiaoxi to go to the restaurant. The few children got a great fright the moment they entered Long Xiaoxi’s room to look for her.
The two children were sound asleep and hugging each other, their faces pressed together. They looked extremely affectionate.
What a groundbreaking sight!
Grasping his chin, Ji Gui exclaimed, “Oh my... they’re sleeping together!”
Long Wenlun stepped forward to wake Long Xiaoxi up. “Xiaoxi... it’s time for dinner.”
“Alright, Brother,” Long Xiaoxi answered sluggishly with her eyes still closed.
Jin Yiheng struggled to open his eyes and sat up slowly. He opened them widely and realized that they were all staring at him.
“What are you guys looking at?”
“Yiheng, you’re finished. You bedded Xiaoxi, you’re going to have to be responsible for her for the rest of your life,” Ji Gui said.
“What do you mean bedded her?” said Jin Yiheng, who did not find anything wrong with sleeping next to Long Xiaoxi.
Shi Bao’er interjected, “We saw you two hugging each other the moment we entered. You were embracing each other so tightly. Yiheng, I really pity you. You actually have such poor taste in women. I initially thought that you would fancy someone like Yuechan, yet you actually fancy Xiaoxi. What’s up with your taste?”
Long Wenlun flew into a rage the moment he heard her snide remark. “What do you mean? What’s wrong with Xiaoxi? Do you think you can spout nonsense just because you’re a few years older?”
“I was just telling the truth. I really didn’t expect it. Oh my god.”
Wen Yuechan walked toward him and said, “Yiheng, do you really fancy Long Xiaoxi and plan on marrying her?”
