Chapter 257. How Could This Drunkard Do This?!

//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\

Lu Ze looked at the three people who were smiling and silently noted down this vendetta in his heart.

These three people better not let him find a chance!

Otherwise, he would definitely take revenge!

At this moment, Lin Ling smiled and looked at Yingying. "Lu Ze is right, we shouldn't eat the chopsticks and plate."

Qiuyue Hesha smiled all of a sudden and looked at Yingying. "But look at how big brother Lu Ze is so handsome, he definitely wouldn't mind letting you have his share."

Lu Ze: "???"

He was initially quite pleased when he heard Qiuyue Hesha praising him-finally, someone could appreciate how handsome he is, huh? He didn't expect that this woman was actually instilling such an evil idea into Yingying?!

This was definitely her revenge against him for not picking Emperor Capital Academy!

Tsk, this woman was really petty.

At this moment, Yingying nodded. "I know, big sister can't eat, but Lu Ze can."

Lu Ze: "… why would I be able to?! I can't either!"

He felt that Yingying was doing it on purpose for sure. She just wanted to have more food, so she said this."

He didn't expect that this little girl appeared quite honest but was so scheming!

He had his guard up and wouldn't let her have her way.

"… I can't?"

Yingying's eyes widened and looked pitifully at Lu Ze.

Lu Ze: "… don't think I'll give you my food just because you look at me this way."

Yingying's blue eyes were still fixed on Lu Ze, she didn't say a word, and there were beads of water in her eyes.

Lu Ze: "…"

He scratched his head helplessly. "I'll give you one-third at most… no, one-quarter… no more than that!"

As a man, he was still too soft-hearted.

Lu Ze was a little sad—I thought that I was following this principle: Those who bow to me will prosper, and those who resist will perish. How did it become this way?

This doesn't make any sense!

However, Lu Ze had made up his mind-he would treat himself later.

The food would be left at his place anyway, and he could just eat in his own room and Yingying wouldn't notice.

With this thought, Lu Ze was in a better mood.

Great!

A tinge of happiness appeared in Yingying's eyes when she heard that, then she looked at Lu Ze with glistening eyes. "Lu Ze, good man!"

When Lu Ze heard that, pain pierced through his heart.

Did she just friend-zoned him??

But this was the first time Yingying looked at him this way.

Forget it, just leave it as that.

Qiuyue Hesha and Lin Ling looked at Lu Ze who appeared very hurt and couldn't help but smile.

Then, Qiuyue Hesha said, "Little Yingying, I'll give you one-quarter of my food too."

Lin Ling rubbed Yingying's little head and said, "Me too."

Yingying's eyes lit up immediately. She said happily, "Really?"

When Lu Ze saw that Qiuyue Hesha and Lin Ling were sharing their food too, he scratched his head helplessly. "Of course."

He looked at Nangong Jing at the same time.

Everyone should chip in.

At this moment, Nangong Jing's eyes lit up. She had a great idea to get close to Yingying.

Hence, she gave a creepy-looking smile toward Yingying. "Hehe, little Yingying, do you want some alcohol? Alcohol is really yummy." Lu Ze, Lin Ling, and Qiuyue Hesha: "!!!"

The three of them looked at Nangong Jing in disbelief, she was like an uncle trying to abduct a little girl.

This drunkard actually offered Yingying some alcohol?

This girl may be a powerful being, but she still looks and thinks like a little girl.

How could this drunkard do this?!

"Big sister Jing, you can't do that!"

"Teacher Nangong, you must think carefully about what you're doing!"

"Violent mother dragon, if you dare to let Yingying drink, you can forget about drinking ever again!"

Nangong Jing felt the intense objection from the three people and her mouth twitched. "What? You guys are overreacting eh? I've started drinking since I was about ten and I'm perfectly fine, right?"

When Lu Ze heard that, his mouth twitched. Does this woman have a misunderstanding of the phrase 'perfectly fine'?

Yingying looked at Nangong Jing then turned to the three speechless people and asked curiously, "What is alcohol?"

Lin Ling immediately hugged Yingying tightly and looked at Nangong Jing warily. Then, she smiled at Yingying. "Good children do not drink alcohol."

When Yingying heard that, she was taken aback and quickly exclaimed, "I am a good child! Tingting said I must be a good child!"

Qiuyue Hesha continued, "Then, Yingying cannot learn from this violent mother dragon."

When Nangong Jing heard that, she glared at Qiuyue Hesha. "What's wrong with me? I was so obedient when I was a child."

Seeing that these two people were about to fight again, Lu Ze rubbed his temples.

These two people were kids too.

He talked about the food once again.

"Let's eat and give Yingying a portion of our food."

As he spoke, he looked at Yingying warily. "Yingying must not secretly steal our food!"

Yingying looked at Lu Ze, confused. "I didn't."

The four people were surprised when she said that, and they looked at each other perhaps in her mind, she was just eating normally, and they couldn't even see? Is this the way a powerful being works? They couldn't afford to offend her.

After that, Lu Ze coughed. "Since that is the case, why don't Lin Ling teach you how to use the utensils?"

Then, all of them began eating while Lin Ling and Qiuyue Hesha put dishes on Yingying's plate from time to time and even taught her how to use the various utensils.

At the same time, Nangong Jing didn't want to give up. She secretly wanted to let Yingying try her alcohol, but Yingying wanted to be a good girl and was also closely monitored by Lin Ling and Qiuyue Hesha, so the alcoholic didn't get what she wanted.

She was quite disappointed and could only gulp her alcohol down in silence.

After eating, Lu Ze felt really tired. Other than Lin Ling, there wasn't anyone else who wouldn't cause trouble.

However, Yingying seemed to be closer to them than before.

That expressionless face was now more lively, and she had more expressions now. This made the four of them more relaxed-it was a good thing for them.

No matter what, Yingying was a super-powerful being, and there was no harm in forming a good relationship.

After lunch, Yingying seemed interested in a variety of home appliances and smart products, so the four people chatted with her in this regard.

Soon, she learned how to surf the Internet.

Looking at how Yingying's eyes widened when she watched the interstellar era children's cartoon, Lu Ze and the others looked at each other, feeling somewhat unreal.

They felt that this little girl was really just an innocent and pure little girl.

Or was every star spirit like that?

Yingying was watching cartoons the entire afternoon. After dinner, Lu Ze and the others sat on the sofa and watched Yingying's little head resting in her hands as she watched cartoons. Then, Lu Ze spoke up all of a sudden. "Yingying, how did you meet Tingting?"

Yingying looked at the four people with sparkling eyes. "You guys want to get to know Tingting too? When we find her, I will introduce her to you guys." Qiuyue Hesha smiled. "Of course, we want to."

A look of joy and eagerness appeared on Yingying's face, and she nodded.

After that, she sat on the sofa and used her little hand to pat the seat next to her, asking four of them to sit closer.

Lu Ze and Lin Ling sat on her left side while Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha sat on her right.

Seeing that all of them were seated, Yingying reached out into the air with her little hand.

The same scene happened again.

The lights in the hall were shining, but the light in front of the sofa was absorbed and starlights outlined a scene. It was still that tiny park, and Yingying was sitting alone on the swing.

She seemed sleepy as she rubbed her eyes with her little fist.

In the image, the park wasn't big, but there were still some children playing there.

After seeing Yingying, they couldn't help but look at her.

Yingying didn't look like them at all, after all. She had silver hair, blue eyes, and was very adorable. It was normal that other kids would be curious about her.

However, probably because they were shy or timid, none of the children went over to say hello to her.

Yingying could only watch them play silently.

Very soon, the scene changed, and the sky turned dark as the children in the park left.

Yingying sat there for a long time, and she was about to get up from the swing with her little legs.

However, the swing moved and Yingying fell facedown on the ground. She didn't move at all for a long time.

Lu Ze: "…"

Lin Ling: "…"

They looked strangely at the expressionless Yingying—is this girl too used to falling face first?

They first met also because this little girl fell flat on the ground, which was why they went over.

Otherwise, they might not even bother.

Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha were dumbfounded too.

As a powerful being, even if you're still a kid, it's a little too embarrassing to be falling face first, right?

They all felt embarrassed for her.

Just at this moment, in the gloomy park, a round-faced little girl with twin pigtails ran over to Yingying's side and asked her worriedly.

"Are you alright?"

Yingying nodded and said calmly, "I'm fine." The round-faced little girl with twin pigtails froze, then looked at Yingying who was still on the ground. "If you're fine, why don't you want to get up?"

Yingying replied, "This is a hug from the stars, it's very comfortable. I don't feel like getting up."

Lu Ze: "…"

Lin Ling: "…"

Nangong Jing: "…"

Qiuyue Hesha: "…"

Round-faced little girl with twin pigtails: "…"

Falling face down actually has such a classy term??

All four people who were watching the scene, as well as the girl in pigtails, went silent. They looked at Yingying who seemed to really enjoy lying flat on the ground and were speechless.

After a moment of silence, the little girl, who seemed a little doubtful after being duped by Yingying, lowered her head and mumbled, "I'm an eight-year-old adult, I'm a big sister, I can't be deceived by children, she needs my help right now…"

After that, the little girl looked resolutely at Yingying and said, "Big sister will help you up."

As she spoke, she reached out her little hand and pulled Yingying like she wanted to help her up.

But it was as if Yingying was glued to the ground. The little girl used so much strength that her little face reddened and didn't manage to help Yingying up.

At this moment, Yingying seemed to be moved by the little girl's perseverance and stood up on her own.

And because the little girl was using a lot of strength and didn't expect that Yingying would stand up by herself all of a sudden, she fell on her buttocks instantly.

The little girl froze, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

The atmosphere stiffened.

Yingying turned around, looked at the little girl with her blue eyes while the little girl looked back at her with tearful eyes.

These two girls looked at each other like that.

After some time, Yingying reached out to the little girl and repeated what the little girl said just now. "Big sister will help you up."

As she spoke, she pulled the little girl up.

Lu Ze and Lin Ling looked at each other with strange expressions.

Could it be that Yingying said she wanted a big sister to help her up in the afternoon because of this?Lu Ze felt better now. No wonder she didn't want a handsome big brother to help her up, so it was because of this.

He thought that she disliked him.

The scene continued to change and after the little girl stood up, she looked at Yingying and cried as she ran away.

They didn't know whether it was because she was embarrassed or if her buttocks hurt. She only left Yingying behind as she watched the little girl run away, then she walked around the park and returned to the swing.

The scene changed, and the originally dimmed sky became bright, it seemed to be the next day. Yingying was still on the swing as she watched the children playing in the park.

Until evening, the round-faced little girl with twin pigtails went to the park again. She saw Yingying sitting on the swing, and she froze, then walked over.

She widened her eyes and stared at Yingying, and Yingying also raised her head and stared back at her.

The two little girls met eye to eye for the second time.

\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//

Chapter 258. God Let Us Save the Milky Way Galaxy

//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\

The atmosphere in the park was silent.

The two little girls stared at each other. For a duration of 25 seconds, they did not break eye contact. Instead of stopping, the girls kept going.

When thirty seconds had passed, the girl sporting a twin pigtails hairstyle blinked. She said with distress, "Argh… I lost. You're so good. You could open your eyes without blinking for so long! What is your name?" Yingying became dazed for a moment, clearly not expecting the other girl to talk to her.

She said calmly, "I'm Yingying." The little girl smiled vibrantly, "I'm Tingting. We're friends now!"

She squeezed in next to Ying Ying and sat with her on the swing. The swing was rather wide, and the two little girls could just fit.

Lu Ze: "…"

Do kids make friends like this these days?

This was much convenient than when you were an adult.

Lu Ze sighed. Little kids were straightforward. If they liked each other, they did. If not, they didn't.

Perhaps, this was the price to pay for growing up? Everyone looked at Yingying who was staring at the scene. Clearly, she was happy.

Everyone smiled and turned to look at the projection again.

The two had begun talking. Of course, it was mostly Tingting talking. Yingying just occasionally replied.

"Yingying, Yingying, you're really pretty. You must be a foreigner, right?"

"Foreigner?"

"People who come from other places!"

"Then, I am."

"That's really good~ I've never wandered far away from my home. I want to go out and see all the places outside. Has your family moved over?"

"My family is the stars."

Tingting didn't react in time. She blinked in confusion. "Stars?"

Yingying nodded. "Mhm."

Tingting became really confused.

After thinking hard for a while, she gave up.

Then, she said stiffly, "Oh! So it's the stars! I know now."

When Lu Ze and the others saw how Tingting pretended to understand, their mouths couldn't help but twitch.

This kid didn't understand at all.

Then, Tingting looked at Yingying and said, "Yingying, Yingying, you're really pretty, can I hug you?"

"Hehehe~ This is really comfortable."

Tingting hugged Yingying and rubbed herself against Yingying with satisfaction.

The two kept chatting until Tingting remembered something. She jumped off the swing and looked at Yingying.

"Yingying, Yingying, do you not know how to swing? I saw you fell over yesterday. I'll teach you how to swing."

Then, she ran behind Yingying and smiled. "Sit tight, I'll push you!" Then, the swing started to move back and forth. Yingying's calm eyes widened and flashed as the swing kept moving. When the swing went higher, Lu Ze and the rest saw a smile on Yingying's face for the first time.

It was really a joyful smile.

In the small park, the swing went back and forth in the air. Tingting's crisp laugh and Yingying's quick smile made Lu Ze and the others smile too.

When it grew dark, Tingting suddenly said, "It's getting late. I'm going home. Will you play here again tomorrow?"

Yingying nodded. "Mhm."

"See you tomorrow!"

The scene kept changing. Every night, Tingting would come to find Yingying at the park. The relationship between the two gradually improved, and they grew closer and closer.

Yingying began to smile more.

One day, Tingting said with annoyance, "I'm going to school the day after tomorrow. I can't play with Yingying all the time~ That's really annoying~ Are you going to start school too Yingying?" Yingying's body stiffened. "You can't come often to play?"

Then, she looked at Tingting. "What is school? Why do you go to school?" Tingting looked at Yingying for a long time. Then, she said in shock, "What? Yingying, you don't need to go to school?!"

Tingting looked at Yingying with admiration and then said with a smile, "Does Yingying want to go to school?".

Yingying's blue eyes flashed with confusion. "Why do you need to go to school?"

Tingting became dazed. She scratched her head. She didn't know why she needed to go either.

Then, her eyes brightened up. "Mom said that good children need to go to school. I'm a good child, so I need to go to school!" Yingying blinked her eyes. "What is a good child?"

Tingting: "???!"

Yeah? What is it?

Mom said children who listened were good children. But she didn't know why that was.

There was one thing she knew.

Every time her mom complimented her, there would be a reward. When her mom called her a bad girl, she would be spanked.

Tingting shrunk her neck. That hurt.

She said, "Good children will be rewarded, and bad children will be punished!" Yingying's eyes widened. She seemed a little scared.

She quickly said, "Then, I want to be a good child! I want to go to school!"

Tingting nodded. "Mhm, Yingying is a good child! Wait for me here tomorrow!"

Then, she ran off.

The next day, Tingting carried a red school bag under Yingying's hopeful gaze.

"Yingying, I brought you a present!"

Tingting's face was a little red as she panted after running toward Yingying.

She passed the bag to Yingying excitedly. "Yingying look! This bag is for you! Let's go to school together!"

Yingying took it in confusion. "School bag?"

Tingting nodded and then said, "I used my birthday money to buy this."

She said, "If the teacher doesn't allow it, then we'll cry together. She'll definitely agree."

Yingying nodded. "Okay."

Lu Ze and the others: "…"

After hearing Yingying's agreement, Tingting happily hugged Yingying and smiled. "Great, I can go to school with Yingying!' After a while, Tingting waved her hands to Yingying. "I'm going to go home earlier tonight. I'll come to find you tomorrow. Wait for me here tomorrow morning, Yingying."

Yingying nodded firmly. "Mhm! I'm going to be a good child! I'm going to school!"

Tingting smiled and ran into the dusk. At this point, the scene broke apart. Yingying, who was sitting on the sofa, said disappointedly, "Then, I fell asleep. When I woke up, the park disappeared."

However, Yingying said hopefully, "After we find Tingting, we'll go to school together."

Then, she looked at Lu Ze and the others. "Sister Lin Ling, do you guys want to come to school with us?"

Lu Ze and the other people looked at each other.

Then, Lin Ling smiled and rubbed Yingying's head. "We'll send you and pick you up from school, okay?"

Yingying narrowed her eyes happily and nodded. "Mhm."

Lu Ze and the rest glanced at each other with complicated emotions once more. After seeing that, they felt things didn't seem right. Did this girl sleep for a really long time?

Does Tingting still exist?

If not, what would Yingying do?

Yingying, as someone belonging to the star spirit race, should be amicable, right? She wouldn't do anything over the top, right? But she was still a kid. Who knew if she would throw a tantrum and destroy the entire Milky Way galaxy? If they found out that Tingting didn't exist, and they didn't tell Yingying, who knew if Yingying would still find out about it in the future? Her means were things they couldn't even fathom.

If she realized that Lu Ze and the others were lying to her, would she be angrier?

Thinking about this, everyone felt bitter.

Did the heavens give them the task of saving the Milky Way galaxy?

They could only wait for the investigation results.Hopefully, the worst won't come.

Qiuyue Hesha smiled. "Yingying, do you usually sleep?"

Yingying shook her head. "No."

It seemed this little girl won't be sleeping.

If she did sleep, they could discuss what to do. But for now, they should wait until tomorrow.

Lu Ze smiled. "In that case, we'll play with you."

They could only get close to Yingying first.

If Yingying considered them friends like Tingting, then perhaps, she wouldn't do anything over the top?
