Listen to The Straight-A Student (III)
Auntie Ah Dou eyeballed Fu Huihui with her wrinkly eyes. She ignored the girl as she slowly opened one of the steamer baskets and revealed two last chicken drumsticks and clipped them all for Fu Ting.
Fu Huihui was stunned.
Xu Tingting rushed over as she roared in injustice, "The rest of us don't have any chicken drumsticks! What makes you think you can have three? Aren't you ashamed now that you've taken other people's drumsticks?"
She made a firm protest and hoped for the other students' participation. It seemed like no one was jumping into the bandwagon.
Although they envied Fu Ting for having the chicken drumsticks, this was not the era of famine, so who would fight for a few drumsticks?
Fu Ting's brows furrowed as she wordlessly stood at her spot.
Just when Fu Pei and Su Luoshui were to move, Auntie Ah Dou quickly covered the steamer basket. "Just because this little girl is cuter than all of you, I'm willing to give her the extra chicken drumsticks that I made. If you want to object, then feel free to take my spot in the canteen."
No one said a word.
They were embarrassed on the spot. Fu Huihui and Xu Tingting almost lost their calm and their eyes nearly shot lasers, but they thought that their food may lessen in the future if they were to upset Auntie Ah Dou.
Fu Huihui's was on the verge of crying but managed to force a firm smile. "It's alright!"
…
"Luoshui, Father, the drumsticks are for us all."
They chose a place next to the window. Fu Ting gave the drumsticks in her bowl to Su Luoshui and Fu Pei each.
'This is a fruitful result from the cuteness of my little girl,' Su Luoshui thought to herself. 'My little kid has finally succeeded.'
With pursed lips, she returned the drumstick. "Little Kid, I don't like to eat this," she spoke in a noble and frosty tone.
Fu Pei, on the other hand, did not think too much of it. His slender fingers picked up his chopsticks, took the drumstick and bit on it.
Su Luoshui's hand which was holding the chopstick trembled slightly. She instantly glared at Fu Pei.
'Not only did he eat my little kid's drumstick, but they almost kissed each other, too.'
Su Luoshui thought her little kid was no longer innocent.
Fu Ting was concerned about the unmoving Su Luoshui and so asked, "Luoshui, why aren't you eating?"
Su Luoshui was in despair as she rested her forehead on one hand and replied monotonously, "You're being tarnished."
The bewildered Fu Ting had a question mark in her mind.
Fu Pei could tell Su Luoshui was thinking he was snatching Little Fool's food again. Engulfed with guilt, he quietly placed the bitten drumstick back into Fu Ting's bowl.
Fu Ting pursed her lips and glanced at Fu Pei as she twisted her chopsticks. "This has a lot of bacteria, Dad," she replied hesitantly.
Was she disgusted by him?
Fu Pei eyed her. He put down his chopsticks as he spoke casually, "Didn't you say you're my daughter?"
Was her father finally believing her?
Fu Ting's eyes gleamed with faint starlight as she nodded vigorously. "Yes!"
The nonchalant Fu Pei had his brows curved upward as his slender fingers were placed in front of his lips. "When you were waiting to be fed back then, didn't I chew the meat fully and fed it to you?" he spoke huskily.
Fu Ting reeled in shock.
Her cute and soft face had a temporary crack.
Xie Tiao splashed some water to the floor in disgust.
Su Luoshui reached out her hand and pinched Fu Ting's face. "Little Kid, don't look at him. You'll be disgusted by your meal!"
Fu Pei felt like he was going insane; he was almost immersed in the acting with Little Fool.
He threw a yuan to Fu Ting and demanded fiercely, "Go, buy me a bottle of Coke."
Su Luoshui frowned and as she was to stop the behavior where Fu Pei enslaved Fu Ting. Fu Ting already left.
'My little kid is too degraded,' Su Luoshui convinced herself.
After a while, Fu Ting came back with a bottle of…
"Coke is a carbonated drink, and it's unhealthy," explained Fu Ting with a soft, warm voice. "This has been infused since morning, and I've just added boiled water."
Fu Pei's lips jerked for a while before he argued, "Do you think I'm an old man? Get Coke, now!"
How could he, a masculine guy, drink such an old-fashioned beverage?
"No, you can't drink Coke!"
Their movement was not small thus it gained the attention of those around them. They were all in awe with what they saw. How could a delicate and soft little girl dare to challenge the big brother school bully?
Was she done with being alive?
Afraid to be involved, the students around them quietly held their plates and left hurriedly.
Fu Pei noticed the fearful gazes around him, and even Su Luoshui unconsciously pulled Fu Ting to her back as though he was a demon. This annoyed him.
Fu Ting peeked from Su Luoshui's back and timidly added, "Father, I've even added sugar. It tastes good."
Fu Pei put on a straight face as he grunted, "I'll throw it away if it's bad."
He raised his head and took a small sip.
Tsk! It was terrible.
In the middle of his thoughts, he gulped down everything...with a disgusted face.
