Chapter 317 - Senior Sis, You’re Hoodwinking Us Buddies! (2/2)
Zhang Ye put on a brave front and said, “Not taking it off!”
“Are you taking it off?”
“….Not taking if off!”
“Alright!”
“Aiyo! Stop! Stop! Stop! Don’t you move! My arm is breaking!”
“Hur Hur, are you taking it off?”
“Off! Off! Off! Just talk, don’t get rough!”
Zhang Ye’s shoulder was pinched by Rao Aimin at his acupuncture points. His entire shoulder and arm went limp. He was not left with any strength. He could no longer boast as it was so painful that he ground his teeth!
Rao Aimin released his arm and glanced at him sideways. She said softly, “Don’t you go groping on me in the future. If Chenchen sees it, I’ll destroy you!”
Zhang Ye said without any sense of shame, “The child is doing her homework. She won’t see it.”
Rao Aimin ignored him and then slowly sat down on the sofa. Crossing her legs, she said, “Didn’t you say you would be was.h.i.+ng the dishes today? After the meal, you went to have fun on the internet. The dishes are still sitting there waiting for you. Go, do some work.”
Zhang Ye said in confusion, “Did I say I would wash the dishes?”
Rao Aimin looked at him with an unfriendly look, “Really?”
“Alright, alright, alright. I said it.” Zhang Ye could only go to the kitchen.
Rao Aimin broke her composure and scolded him with a laugh, “Darn little b.a.s.t.a.r.d.” Then she said loudly, “Don’t you do it improperly. Wash them clean. I will check in a while!”
“Got it.” Zhang Ye felt like he had been exploited to do labor. Hai, but he had taken advantage of her, and it was not that easy to take advantage of the landlady.
Was.h.i.+ng the dishes.
Was.h.i.+ng the pot.
Wiping the table, sweeping the floor.
With this, slightly more than half an hour pa.s.sed.
“Little Zhang.” Rao Aimin commanded, “Go make a kettle of hot water.”
Zhang Ye stared. “I’m at least a teacher of the people. Are you really commanding me as you wish?”
Rao Aimin stared at him. “Then who do you think cleaned your room in the month you were away? Ah? Who washed your bed sheets? Ah? Who placed c.o.c.kroach insecticide on your ground? Who swept away the dead c.o.c.kroaches? Hurry up and do the work. Cut the c.r.a.p. Even a rabbit is more diligent than you!”
Zhang Ye was stumped and did not say another word. Fine, work it is. His house had indeed been cleaned up by the landlady nicely. He could not refute that.
He finally finished busying himself.
It was already past 8.
Chenchen came out while rubbing her eyes. “Aunt, I’ve finished my homework. I’m sleepy.”
“Okay. Go to bed.” Rao Aimin said.
Zhang Ye also said, “I’m sleepy too.”
Rao Aimin acknowledged and said, “Scram then.”
Zhang Ye blinked. “I’ll stay here. I’ll tell bedtime stories to Chenchen. I recently created a few childrens’ fairytales. They are extremely interesting.”
Rao Aimin said with an ambiguous smile, “Do you want to leave yourself, or get thrown out by me?”
Zhang Ye said to Chenchen, “Uncle will tell you a bedtime story, do you want to listen?”
Chenchen gave a long yawn. “No, I’m tired. I’m sleeping now.” Saying that, she clumsily climbed upstairs.
A drop of sweat flowed down Zhang Ye’s head. This wicked child sure doesn’t give Brother Zhang any face. If you don’t listen to a story, how will this bro sneak into your aunt’s bed!?
“Are you leaving or not?” Rao Aimin looked at him.
Zhang Ye said in a thick-skinned manner. “Aiyah, I suddenly don’t feel tired. Let me stay here for a while.”
“You might not be tired, but I am!” Rao Aimin raised her chin and stood up with a leg supporting her. “Hurry and scram. Go teach your cla.s.s properly tomorrow and stop trying to stay here.” With a pause, she smiled. “Kid, you’re sure without worry. I already saw that many industry insiders are going to Peking University to listen in on your public lecture? There will be people from the educational and literary world. Who knows what serious situations will arise tomorrow, yet you still have the mood to blabber here with me? Think about how you are going to lecture your ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’. If you don’t do a good job, your reputation will become bad. You won’t be able to run away from the t.i.tle of leading people astray. Remember to save up some money. Don’t get fired from Peking University and not be able to pay the rent.”
Zhang Ye said leisurely, “Don’t you worry. Since I dared to lecture ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’, I definitely have the confidence. I’m not worried about that, what I’m worried most is…where to stay tonight. I feel like my house has a dark and gloomy aura, and isn’t suitable for staying in. I’ve calculated that the place with the best Fengshui is a maisonette-style apartment…Ai! Ai! Ai! Don’t do it! Don’t do it! I’ll leave myself! Leaving myself!”
Thud!
The door closed!
With a depressed face, Zhang Ye was sent out of the landlady’s house. Hai! Life can be described by the phrase loneliness is where the shoe pinches!
He could only honestly return to his house and prepare the information needed for tomorrow. Then he laid out his bed before snuggling into it.
Tomorrow was an important day. Zhang Ye was done preparing!
