Chapter 29: Candid

The more Lu Hua didn’t want to show it to him, the more suspicious Chang Qing became, “Don’t be deceived again, not once but twice.”

Lu Hua said, “There are always more good people than bad people in this world, and do I look that stupid? Will I always be lied to? I’m making friends normally, and they’re all within the normal range. Don’t think too much. “

Chang Qing said, “I’ll tell your brother about this.”

Lu Hua was upset , “You can tell on me. Anyway, I’m not afraid of the slanted shadow.1 If you want to say it, fine. I’m not afraid of you.”

Chang Qing looked at her confident face, and was a little shaken, “It’s really not puppy love?”

Lu Hua said, “No, I said no! Why don’t you believe me? I’m only thirteen years old. Puppy love will only be laughed at, okay? ”

“Then who were you talking to?”

“Just with a friend!”

“But you just said it was a teacher.” Chang Qing’s few moments of wavering immediately dissipated.

“…” Lu Hua said confidently: “It’s the teacher.”

Chang Qing: “…”

He couldn’t help covering his face.

Talking to this child, he felt tired.

Lu Hua urged him to give the money, “I counted, and you asked me four questions. You have to give me 4,000 yuan. You can’t default.”

Chang Qing put down his hand and said, “I’ll owe it first.”

Lu Hua opened her eyes wide, “Do you want to renege on your debt?”

Chang Qing looked at her mouth stained with grease, and said: “You didn’t pay for your fried chicken. You can owe it, but I can’t?”

Lu Hua: “…”

Lu Hua reluctantly accepted this reason, “I’ll owe it first.”

Chang Qing reached out and took out a wet wipe from his pocket. Took one out and wiped her mouth.

Lu Hua was taken aback, “What’re you doing?”

Chang Qing held her head and didn’t let her move. He used his fingers to wipe off the grease stains on her lips. “What do you think? Eating with a mouth full of grease. Do you know what you look like?”

He said these words in a soft, and gentle tone, which made Lu Hua feel a little uncomfortable. She rolled her eyes and said awkwardly, “I’ll wipe it myself.” Although she said that, she also consciously raised her face slightly to make it easier for him to move.

Chang Qing wiped the corners of her mouth clean, grabbed her wrist again, and wiped away the oily stains on her fingers one by one, even between her fingers.

Lu Hua struggled for a while and muttered: “My hand isn’t broken, I will wipe it myself.”

Chang Qing lifted his eyes, glanced at her, and said, “Eating fried food at night will make you gain weight. You’ll get angry and get pimples.

Lu Hua: “… will I? How do you know that? “

Chang Qing said: “This is common sense. Don’t eat it now. If you can’t digest it, it will be converted into fat. Eat once to gain a little weight. You don’t want to be unable to wear a beautiful dress, right?”

Lu Hua was silent.

Chang Qing said, “I can’t control you anyway. Be careful not to be deceived again. Don’t let your brother worry.”

Lu Hua said, “What does he worry about? He wants me to make mistakes. Then he has an excuse to send me away. “

Chang Qing stretched out his hand to pinch her face, his voice softened a little, “He is your brother. He must be worried about you. But you also know that if something happens again, your brother will really send you away. Pay attention to yourself. Don’t be so careless and be coaxed into such confusion that you don’t even know who you are anymore.”

Lu Hua paused and asked, “Would you be happy if I was sent away?”

Chang Qing looked down into her eyes, “Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?”

Lu Hua grunted like a little pig: “Listen to the truth, of course.”

Chang Qing said, “To tell the truth, I don’t want you to be sent away.”

Lu Hua looked away and muttered, “It’s a lie.”

Chang Qing said, “I didn’t lie to you. Although you’re very annoying and noisy, without you, this home would be deserted, and it wouldn’t be considered a home. ”

Lu Hua was silent, and after a while, she said, “You’re just trying to sweet talk me.”

Chang Qing raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help but laugh. This child was indeed a little stupid. He had said that she was annoying before, but she had focused on the latter thinking that he was saying sweet words. Really a little stupid.

Seeing him smiling, Lu Hua was still a little confused. “What are you laughing at?”

Chang Qing restrained his smile and became a little more serious: “Is there any benefit for me to try and sweet talk you?”

Lu Hua got stuck. She thought for a while. It seemed that there wasn’t any benefit. Her elder brother was gone, and he didn’t need to please her anymore.

Chang Qing looked at her face and said softly, “I want to get along well with you and live as a family. That’s why I’m being nice to you. That’s why I’m telling you these things. To be honest, I’m a little annoyed with you…”

Lu Hua immediately looked up at him, and Chang Qing replied, “But it’s not to the point where I’ll be happy when you leave, do you understand?”

Lu Hua didn’t speak, and after a while, she said, “Me too.”

Chang Qing “You too?”

Lu Hua lowered her eyes and said coyly, “I’m a little annoyed with you too, but I don’t think I’ll be very happy if you leave my house.”

Chang Qing laughed. “Since we don’t want each other to leave, we’ll all get along well in the future, okay?”

Lu Hua didn’t agree immediately. She raised her chin, and said reservedly and arrogantly: “Then you have to be very nice to me. I still hate you.”

The corners of Chang Qing’s lips curled, “How can I be nice to you? Tell me what you expect from me. ”

Lu Hua had the virtue of opening a dyeing room if you give her some color. She counted with her fingers: “Youi must give me money to spend. You can’t scold me, lecture me, or tattle on me. If my second brother scolds me then you should speak for me. If he dares to hit me, you have to help me stop him. If he doesn’t like me or wants to send me to the mountains, you have to help me too. Don’t let him send me away……….”

She talked a lot, and finally she made herself happy. She looked at Chang Qing with her eyes sparkling. “If you can do this, I will like you very much.”

Chang Qing’s smile disappeared, “This is making an offering to the ancestors.”.

Lu Hua said: “Can’t you do it?”

Chang Qing said: “Can’t do it.”

Lu Hua muttered: “If you can’t do something so simple, then I can’t like you.”

Chang Qing said, “Now that you’ve said what you expect of me, I will also say what I expect of you. If you can do it, it’s not impossible for me to meet your requirements.”

Lu Hua said, “Tell me about it.”

Chang Qing said: “Don’t be unreasonable. Don’t spend money indiscriminately-“

Lu Hua interrupted him and said, “I don’t have any money now. How can I spend it indiscriminately?”

Chang Qing said, “Listen first, you might not have any now but you may in the future.”

Lu Hua felt a little gratified by his statement, “Then you continue talking.”

Chang Qing said, “Every time you make a decision, think about the consequences. Don’t do things impulsively. If your brother finds out, will he be angry? If he gets angry, what will he do to you? Think about these things. Also, stay out of trouble. Like the last time when you were cheated out of 5 million. Don’t do it again.”

Lu Hua frowned, “That’s easy for you to say. How would I know when people lie to me?”

Chang Qing said: “Then you have to think carefully. What if someone deceives you? Five million yuan was given out so easily. If it gets swept away. What happens when your brother gets angry ……? In short, doubt first. Don’t just do anything on a whim, you know?”

Lu Hua made a thoughtful expression and didn’t speak.

Chang Qing said: “I have one more request. Anything you have to do in the future, you can discuss it with your brother first.”

Lu Hua immediately said, “No, he will only scold me and call me a pig. Really, if I am a pig, isn’t he also a pig? If we came out of a litter, then there’s no difference between me and him. “

Chang Qing: “…Then if you have anything in the future, you can discuss it with me, okay?”

Lu Hua reluctantly said, “It’s not impossible, but you’re not allowed to talk about me or scold me. ”

Chang Qing said, “Have I ever scolded you?”

Lu Hua said, “You scolded me! You called me a broken record.”

Chang Qing said, “Then you also called me a vixen.”

Lu Hua was speechless. After a while, she said, “I’m not scolding you now.” After a pause, she quickly glanced at him and said, “I won’t call you a vixen anymore.”

“Really?”

“Of course, it’s true. It’s no good for me to lie to you.” Lu Hua was questioned, and her tone was a little indignant. She didn’t know what she was thinking of, and she said, “I’ll try my best to do what you say, and you have to do it too.”

“I will. Okay, here comes the question, who did you chat with just now?” Chang Qing brought the topic back again.

Lu Hua didn’t turn the corner, “With a brother…” Before she finished speaking, she immediately reached out and covered her mouth.

Chang Qing: “Who? Brother?”

Lu Hua opened her mouth, glared at Chang Qing and said, “Well done! You actually set me up.”

Chang Qing said: “I just think it’s weird. Think about it carefully. Don’t you think you are acting very differently now than from before? You’ve never eaten these junk foods before, and suddenly you ate them today and you’ve been giggling . What kind of friends have you made that makes you so happy?”

Lu Hua refused to admit anything and said: “When did I giggle? Even if it’s junk food, it’s normal to want to eat it occasionally.”

“First of all, you have to wonder why someone is spending so much time talking and chatting with you to make you happy.” Chang Qing said in a gentle and persuasive manner.

Lu Hua thought for a while, and said, “I’m cute.”

“…”

Lu Hua saw his indescribable expression, and immediately became unhappy, “Why are you making that expression, am I not cute?” As she spoke, she cupped her delicate and beautiful face, pouted her lips, and puffed out her cheeks, “You look carefully, aren’t I cute?”

“…Cute, so cute.” Chang Qing said.

Lu Hua restored her expression angrily and said, “That wasn’t sincere at all.”

Although she said that, Lu Hua also thought about it seriously, “I don’t have any money for him to cheat out of me now either. If it’s not because I’m cute then what else can it be?”

Chang Qing said in a half-threatening tone, “Although it’s in the city, there are still human traffickers around.  It might be a bit exaggerated but if someone can kidnap a rich girl like you then they won’t have to worry about eating and drinking in the future. Plenty of people will take risks. ”

Lu Hua’s eyes widened. After a long time, she said, “No, I don’t think he is short of money. He was wearing a lot of famous brands.”

Chang Qing said, “A good man is not obvious. My young lady, be good. Tell me, who is he? Did you at least find out his details when you were making friends?”

Lu Hua hesitated and handed the phone to Chang Qing, “Anyway, I think he’s fine.”

Chang Qing saw that she had finally relaxed and felt that it wasn’t easy. He sighed and said, “You think it’s useless. The most unreliable thing is the feeling that you’re infallible.”

As he spoke, he turned on her phone and looked at her chat history.

He scrolled from beginning to end and frowned.
