Liu Chang'an Got Beaten Up Badly
After breakfast, Zhou Dongdong and Lu Si'en went to school. Zhou Shuling wanted to go to Baolong Center with Zhu Juntang, but Zhu Juntang obviously had no intention of doing so.
Shangguan Dandan went downstairs to boil water because she hadn't boiled water this morning; instead, she had gone to the market, so she was only boiling it now.
Liu Chang'an changed his clothes and glanced at Zhu Juntang, who was clicking around on his computer.
"There's nothing on my computer that you can use to mock, threaten, or hold against me," Liu Chang'an told Zhu Juntang.
Zhu Juntang casually tossed the mouse away; it was pointless.
"I'm going to school now, are you coming?" Liu Chang'an asked.
Zhu Juntang nodded. Although she felt that she was already receiving tutoring, why should she still go to school? However, after she said this to her mother, she did not receive a response, so Zhu Juntang did not dare to skip class with a clear conscience.
Zhu Juntang believed that her mother had seen the message, but the fact that the Third Mistress did not reply did not mean she agreed, but rather meant "Why don't you give it a try?"
So Zhu Juntang followed Liu Chang'an downstairs and saw Shangguan Dandan sitting on a long bench, her delicate hands carefully tearing the white fibers off the orange segments, her two rosy lips pursed together, looking as if she were doing some kind of exquisite work of art.
The kettle made a gurgling sound, Shangguan Dandan imitated the kettle by making a "du..." sound. Then she lovingly touched her thermos before picking up the kettle to fill it with water.
"Dan Dan, you are hardworking and brave," Zhu Juntang praised.
Liu Chang'an couldn't help but glance at Zhu Juntang, who was probably the only person who would praise Zhu Juntang Shangguan Dandan for being hardworking and brave.
Even Zhou Dongdong, who really liked Egg Sister, could subconsciously tell that Shangguan Dandan's housework was not as good as Zhou Dongdong's.
Zhu Juntang was different. Apart from talking, she did almost nothing. When it came to housework, Zhu Juntang could not match Shangguan Dandan and had to admit defeat.
Perhaps this is a case of "there's no such thing as too lazy, only lazier."
Shangguan Dandan nodded reservedly, not feeling particularly pleased by Zhu Juntang's praise, but merely glancing at Liu Chang'an.
"I gave Dongdong an orange, I gave Dongdong's mom an orange, I'll eat one myself, and you can have the last one." Shangguan Dandan took the last orange out of the plastic bag and handed it to Liu Chang'an.
Liu Chang'an looked at her suspiciously. Logically speaking, "orange" was just an old joke, but given that the other party was Shangguan Dandan, who was always thinking about how to make Liu Chang'an her son, he had to doubt her intentions.
Zhu Juntang took it proactively, and when Liu Chang'an saw Shangguan Dandan's disappointed expression, he knew that his suspicions were correct.
Shangguan Dandan didn't say anything. She went back to her room, took an egg, wrapped it in damp paper, and placed it on the edge of the small stove to roast. She had to make full use of the remaining heat of the coal briquette; otherwise, one coal briquette could only be used to boil one kettle of water a day, Shangguan Dandan felt was too wasteful.
"Dan Dan, you can even bake eggs? I can't do anything!" Zhu Juntang once again sincerely praised Shangguan Dandan.
As usual, Liu Chang'an gave Shangguan Dandan fifty yuan and then walked out of the residential area.
"You have to watch over the eggs while they're baking, flipping them every now and then, otherwise they'll burn, or the egg whites inside will be hard and not crispy, which isn't good," Shangguan Dandan shared her experience of baking eggs.
"Would you like to come visit our school?" Zhu Juntang warmly invited.
Shangguan Dandan hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't dare go that far yet. I'll go after Liu Chang'an takes me there once."
"Alright, I'll be going now." Zhu Juntang waved goodbye to Shangguan Dandan.
Shangguan Dandan sat on the small bench, waved, and then started eating the orange she had just peeled. After everyone finished breakfast and came out for a stroll, they could gather at the shop owner's house to play cards.
Zhu Juntang ran and caught up with Liu Chang'an.
"Dan Dan really amazing. Such a small girl, yet she can boil water and bake eggs. She must have even started the stove herself. I remember the last time I tried to start a fire was when Yaya and I went to pray to Buddha; we burned a bunch of incense sticks into a torch." Zhu Juntang praised Shangguan Dandan enthusiastically. He had so many cute, pretty, and capable young women around him, why did he always focus his attention on that girl in Building Number Two?
He should look more at beautiful girls like Bai Hui and Dan Dan, and Qin Yanan, Zhu Juntang's best friend.
Objectively speaking, Zhu Juntang felt that Qin Yanan was the most suitable person to be the principal wife, not because Qin Yanan was also the woman Zhu Juntang liked... Even if Liu Chang'an wanted to find many beautiful girls to be his wives, he should first establish the principal wife. In terms of figure, appearance, and temperament, Qin Yanan should be the best, followed by Bai Hui, Dan Dan, and so on.
"You're praising her... are you serious?" Liu Chang'an turned to look at Zhu Juntang, who was full of admiration.
"I wouldn't dare... As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't stand in the midst of fire or water, meaning a smart person stays away from places where water boils." Zhu Juntang touched her skin, imagining her tender skin being scalded by boiling water or fire, and shuddered. "That would involve carrying a kettle... The water would be scalding hot, and the kettle would be scalding hot too. Just thinking about it is extremely dangerous."
"First, there's no saying 'A gentleman doesn't stand in the midst of fire and water.' Second, you're saying 'A gentleman doesn't stand under a crumbling wall,' which has nothing to do with where you boil water. Third, even if your Zhu Family's ancestor invented the saying 'A gentleman doesn't stand in the midst of fire and water,' it still has absolutely nothing to do with boiling water!" Liu Chang'an glared at Liu Chang'a Zhu Juntang. Zhu Juntang was the first person to be so ignorant as to want to swear.
"Oh." Zhu Juntang nodded to indicate that she understood.
Liu Chang'an quickened his pace.
Zhu Juntang quickly chased after him, "Slow down... Ugh, you just swore! You bastard!"
"None of your business."
"You're swearing again!"
Liu Chang'an suddenly stopped, Zhu Juntang bumped into Liu Chang'an's back.
Zhu Juntang frowned, relieved. If Bai Hui or Qin Yanan had bumped into Liu Chang'an's back like that, it would have hurt them terribly. Luckily, she was... fine.
"From now on, when I read to Zhou Dongdong, I can't let her fall asleep as soon as she hears the text, otherwise she'll grow up to be like you," Liu Chang'an said after considering for a moment. "Also... I need to suggest to your mother that we hire a teacher to teach you the basics of traditional culture during the winter break."
Zhu Juntang paused for a moment, opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't utter a "Mie Mie" protest. She angrily raised her fist and punched Liu Chang'an.
Uncle could tolerate it, but Fairy could not. Zhu Juntang could no longer endure Liu Chang'an's bullying.
Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a sheep.
Zhu Juntang unleashed punch after punch, each imbued with the power of wind and thunder—a secret technique passed down only by the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect.
The lightning-fast punches were unstoppable by Liu Chang'an. Zhu Juntang's outburst of anger activated her inner power, instantly causing Liu Chang'an to vomit several bowls of blood.
Blood was everywhere, flowing freely; he was covered in blood, a truly gruesome sight.
Even so, Zhu Juntang showed no mercy. She coldly watched his miserable state, then arrogantly used her long, slender legs clad in socks to lift her toes and kick his buttocks hard, sending him crashing into the wall like a wild goose falling on a sand dune. The entire wall collapsed, burying Liu Chang'an completely!
The above are all Zhu Juntang's imagined effects.
"Grandpa! No!" Zhu Juntang cried out in a panic, clinging to Liu Chang'an's arm and pleading, "Don't torture such a cute Mie Mie!"
I'll imitate Mie Mie's call for you!
"I'll tear your socks and skirt for you!"
"I'll buy you some washi tape! Pink ones, with little fairy designs..."
Liu Chang'an shook his head, letting Zhu Juntang cling to his arm, wailing and struggling with regret... It was just like when Zhou Dongdong didn't want to be a first-grader and insisted on going to kindergarten.
