To his surprise, when he used Nero’s perspective, he had an entirely different feeling. He seemed to recover that feeling he had before he became the club owner.
However, when he returned to his own perspective, everything became extremely silent again. It was just like the water of an ancient well… almost like stagnant water.
Perhaps through Nero’s perspective, he would be able to find something…and even solve the problem of having his emotions stripped off.
“Master, is there any problem?” You Ye asked softly, while putting a piece of finely cut lamb meat onto the dish in front of her master.
Luo Qiu shook his head and calmly said in praise, “It’s just a feeling. You are also beautiful today.”
……
As for Xiaozhi, she had many treasures. Children who were still in nursery always had their own so-called treasures that adults could not understand.
The matter began with the nursery teacher asking everyone to draw their parents with crayons in the afternoon. However, till the end, Xiaozhi did not complete her drawing.
“Haha, Xiaozhi has no father!”
“Xiaozhi didn’t finish her homework. She’s a bad kid!”
Even the teacher in the classroom could not stop so many children from causing trouble at the same time.
If she scolded them, these children would be frightened by her and cry. If she was soft and gentle, she could only stop some of the children while not being able to stop others. As she looked at Xiaozhi who lowered her head with streams of tears brimming in her eyes, the teacher was both heartbroken and anxious.
Unexpectedly, Xiaozhi overturned the little children’s desk to the ground and rushed towards the boy who jeered the loudest towards her.
The two kids suddenly wrestled with each other.
Naturally, this resulted in a fight that was… unstoppable.
“Sorry, my child is so naughty. Sorry, I am really sorry.”
San Er kept apologizing to the parents of the child who was bitten by Xiaozhi. The teacher was here to help resolve the dispute between both sides. However, with her own son being bitten, this was simply too heart wrenching for the elderly mother who only managed to give birth to a boy after her thirties. It was evident that she was not going to let this matter be resolved so easily.
The woman looked at San Er with rage and said spiteful words, “How did you raise your child? It’s like you raise her to be a barbarian! What type of person will she be when she was already this barbaric at such a young age? Huh?! Are you too busy smuggling people that you did not have time to take care of your children?”
“Will you… please show some respect?” San Er’’s eyes were turning red. She stared intently at the woman.
“You damn illegitimate child! How dare you bite me? I will really beat you to death!” The woman stretched out her hand and pulled Xiaozhi up. She then raised her hand and was about to beat Xiaozhi.
“Don’t beat my daughter!” San Er could not bear to watch this. She then rushed over and snatched Xiaozhi back.
“I must teach her a lesson today no matter what!” The woman was also vicious, and her expression was fierce, as she dragged San Er’s hair in one hand.
Xiaozhi was probably frightened by her threat. She grabbed San Er’s clothes, buried her face on it, and wept.
“Don’t be scared. Don’t be scared. It’s okay. It’s okay.” San Er comforted her softly.
This teacher… Rather than a teacher, she was just working in a nursery. She did not even have a kindergarten teacher certificate. Her home was here too. How could she simply offend others easily?
San Er sighed silently and gave a nod towards the teacher. She then carried Xiaozhi and left the nursery.
On the way home, even if her hand was held by San Er, Xiaozhi still lowered her head. San Er remained silent while holding her daughter, and felt that the road was much longer than usual.
Xiaozhi hugged San Er’s calf and cried, “Xiaozhi shouldn’t hit someone, Xiaozhi shouldn’t bite someone…But, but, that aunty is so mean! She, she, she scolded you, mom! Xiaozhi is so upset, so upset!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” San Er squatted down, carried Xiaozhi, patting Xiaoche’s back gently, and said softly, “It’s okay. Mommy’s okay.”
Xiaozhi sniffed her nose at this time and said sadly, “Mom, how about you let Uncle Mark be my father? Please…“
San Er was stunned. She opened her lips and spoke a little louder while being anxious and angry, “How can you say something like this?”
This was probably good enough to distract Xiaozhi’s attention. She nodded in response and said, “I want it sweet!”
“Okay, then I will make it all sweet.”
Xiaozhi threw herself on San Er’s arms and fell asleep quietly.
San Er returned home with her heart filled with worries. While she was thinking of what Xiaozhi had said, she could not refrain from remembering the grief that had happened until now. She could not help but shed tears in silence… If she could, why would she not want to have someone to rely on?
However, Mark was too mysterious and dreamy for her.
When she had a look, San Er was immediately frightened by what she saw that her face turned pale!
This was because, at some unknown time, someone had used red spray paint to write a lot of vulgar words on the front door of her shop!
“Shameless!”, “Whore”, “Cheap couple!”, “Slut!”…
Who did this!? San Er could not think much! At this moment, she was even more afraid of letting the neighbours of the district know that she stayed here. She was also afraid of them directing their attention at her!
Thinking of that scene, San Er’s body became cold and her whole body trembled with fear!
“Mom, we haven’t reached home yet?”
In her arms, Xiaozhi seemed to wake up when she heard the racket. San Er quickly held her head, then turned around and ran towards the alley. She turned around and returned to the back door of her tofu shop from the back alley.
However, she also saw the big red words written on the back door.
San Er frantically opened the door. She then closed the door without saying a word, pulled the bolt, and sat down with her back against the door panel. She hugged her daughter and sobbed with pain.
“Mom, mom, what’s wrong with you? Mom… Mom… Xiaozhi is so scared, don’t cry, okay…”
She just hugged her daughter even tighter.
“Mom…”
Xiaozhi also cried along.
