Chapter 1911: Bring Something Tasty First
Little Taotie retrieved the pink crystal box, but now her eyes seemed unfocused, staring blankly at the female instructor eating the fried buns.
A beautiful sister who can eat almost as much as Sister Yuanyuan.
"Staring at me won’t get you any!" The female instructor waved her hand, "You two go play outside."
Little Luoluo grabbed the dazed Little Taotie and dashed out, "Hurry up and leave, you’ve got your stuff back, what are you loitering around for!"
Little Taotie was dragged along, and when she reached the playground, she was in a daze again.
Hua Jinyan’s hair was already wet with sweat, yet he was still running while weighed down.
On his back was... a big tire!
Little Taotie shook her head to make sure she wasn’t dreaming, then ran over in a hurry to catch up with Hua Jinyan.
"Are you exercising?" she asked, puzzled.
Hua Jinyan gave a bitter smile, "You could say that."
"Ha, you sure are tough." An unfriendly voice came from the tree.
Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan simultaneously looked up and saw the dorm uncle lounging on a branch.
Hua Jinyan’s gaze darkened, "There’s a hanging ghost on this tree."
Little Taotie blinked, wanting to say there wasn’t, but thought of something and changed her words, "Oh yeah, the kind with a really long tongue, black circles around the eyes, and spewing black-red smoke all over—it’s a fierce ghost!"
Dorm Uncle: "..."
The files stated these two kids could see the paranormal.
But... why does it feel like they’re bluffing?
The dorm uncle braced himself to continue lying on the branch, lifting his chin, "If I’m not here watching you, who knows if you’ll cut corners on your laps! What’s a hanging ghost—I’m not scared at all. There’s plenty of souls who died by my hands. If ghosts could really harm me, I’d be long dead!"
Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan exchanged a glance.
Hua Jinyan lowered his eyes and continued running silently.
For atheists, or those with no taboos, it’s indeed hard to scare them—talk is cheap and a waste of breath.
Little Taotie jogged to catch up, "Why are you listening to him, stop running!"
Before Hua Jinyan could answer, the dorm uncle laughed from the tree branch, "Him? He wants to be a hero."
"A hero?" Little Taotie was baffled.
"Didn’t get scolded, did you?" the dorm uncle suddenly asked.
Little Taotie touched the pink crystal box in her pocket.
She wasn’t hit, nor scolded, and got her stuff back.
She didn’t even know why, she just let herself off easily, like no one cared anymore that she’d pretended to be a boy and snuck into the boys’ dorm.
"Can’t figure it out?" The dorm uncle pointed at Hua Jinyan, "This kid took it all on, so nothing happened to you, but something happened to him."
"Can’t you be more clear!" Little Taotie was getting anxious.
Hua Jinyan had already run half a lap, and Little Taotie returned to the tree, glaring up at him with a fierce yet cute expression.
Like a little kitten baring its baby teeth, waving its tiny paws, yet showing off its tender pink paw pads—utterly non-threatening, instead rather adorable.
The dorm uncle feigned a yawn, closed his eyes, and stopped answering.
"Hey! You big bully!"
"Hmm?"
The dorm uncle squinted at her, "Is that the attitude you have when asking questions?"
Little Taotie: "..."
"First, bring some goodies, I haven’t had breakfast, no energy to answer your questions."
A basket was lowered with a rope from the tree.
Little Taotie: "..."
Never seen such a shameless big bully!
"No snacks?" The dorm uncle, seeing her motionless for a long time, impatiently said, "Then don’t bother me sleeping."
Reluctantly, Little Taotie took out a bag of pocket-sized snacks from her pocket, slowly and unwillingly placed it into the basket.
