I Thought You Would Call Me An Idiot (2)

"Now it hurts? What were you thinking in the water!" Sheng Yize give her head a hard flick. Seeing her innocent pout, he gave her another one.

Only this time it was much gentler.

"I was afraid that you'd call me an idiot… but I really didn't do it on purpose. I passed Fanxing her script and I didn't even touch her. I have no idea why she tripped and dropped her earring in the water…" An Xiaxia explained in a tiny voice, then looked up with glittering eyes. "Is that earring really that expensive? What will happen if we can't find it…"

"They'll sell you into the mountains and make you some weird uncle's wife. You'll have a dozen kids with him and they'll sell you again into some illegal coal pit as a coolie when you're no longer pretty!" Sheng Yize teased her deliberately.

An Xiaxia took those words as truth and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She huddled up into a little ball and looked most pitiful.
