Chapter 23 - Sheep Into the Wolf's Mouth

The last four words that Wang Qian said sounded extremely weird, causing the girl to tremble and not even want to go and pour the trash over. Just as she was anxious to close the door, Landlady's voice came from inside: ”Xiao Ya, didn't I ask you to throw the rubbish away? Why is it still at the door? ”

”Oh ~ So your name is Xiao Ya. It's really nice to listen to.” Wang Qian revealed what he thought to be a very handsome and charming smile, and at the same time, used his hands to support the door while she wasn't paying attention.

”You, what are you trying to do?” Xiao Ya retreated a few steps back, then fearfully threw the trash over.

Why does it feel like I'm entering a room to commit murder?

Just as he was about to tease the girl again, Landlady had already walked out. Seeing Wang Qian blocking the door, she could not help but ask: ”Hey, is this not a small Mister Wang? Is there something you need? ”

Why do people who address me like to add a small word these days? Wang Qian straightened his body and politely said: ”Auntie Xu, I was just about to go eat dinner when I saw Xiao Ya. Are you Xiao Ya's mother? This is such a coincidence, I didn't expect us to be living at the same place. ”

”Eh, you know my Xiao Ya?” Landlady's surname was Xu, upon hearing that, he looked at Xiao Ya, and before Xiao Ya could explain, Wang Qian anxiously said: ”I can't say that I know him, I just frequently go to neutralization hall to buy medicine, and have met with Xiao Ya a few times.”

”Oh, what a coincidence.” Landlady did not doubt him, but seeing that his daughter seemed to be wronged, he did not know if he should invite Wang Qian in.

But he heard Wang Qian say with an inexplicable sigh: ”Xiao Ya is really a good child. When I first saw her, I was bullied by a Little Tai-mei on the bus, if it was an ordinary person, they would definitely not let it go. If I hadn't taught her a lesson, who knows what she would have done. ”

”Is that true?” Landlady immediately revealed his anger, he looked at Xiao Ya, and the latter did not refute, and nodded in agreement.

This was the truth from the start, and Wang Qian was not wrong. It was just that, in front of Wang Qian, he couldn't say the rest.

This guy … Actually, he was not a good person!

Looks like Landlady really doted on Xiao Ya, he immediately scolded angrily, then thought about Wang Qian, and said apologetically: ”Mr. Wang, thank you so much. Xiao Ya is a little shy. She normally doesn't even say a word when she's being bullied at school, so I can't always accompany her. I'm always worried in my heart, but there's nothing I can do about it. ”

”Auntie Xu, you're too polite. Just call me Little Wang, Wang Qian, or Little Qian.”

”Then let's call you Little Qian, calling you Little Wang feels weird.” The Landlady's impression of Wang Qian rose sharply, he directly pulled him into the house and laughed: ”Xiao Qian, sit for a while, I will make some tea for you, in a while don't go out and eat, the food outside is not clean, it will be edible at our house.”

”Auntie, how can I be embarrassed …”

”Hey, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. We are neighbors, and look at how you have helped our Xiao Ya. In the future, we need to move more. Sure, sit down first. Xiao Ya, chat with Little Qian and I will go cook. ”

”Then I won't be polite anymore, Auntie. From now on, I'll come here often to get food from you. Just don't mind me.” Wang Qian joked.

”You said it, ah. If you don't come, I'll give you a rent increase …”

With just a few words, Wang Qian sat on the sofa in Xiao Ya's home. He had become their guest and received a warm welcome from her mother.

Watching as Landlady walked into the kitchen, Wang Qian's bright smile slowly faded. He slowly turned his head to look at Xiao Ya, and then slowly smiled.

The latter shuddered and retreated to the corner of the sofa with her arms crossed.
