Chapter 287 - Yu Miao's Depression

Chapter 287 Yu Miao’s Depression

The relationship between Liu Xiaorui and Maggie was very good, mainly because Maggie was very sensible at heart even if she usually behaved like a naughty girl. But this kind of sensibility couldn’t be seen on the surface.

Maggie knew what Liu Xiaorui had gone through and knew that there was a shadow in the heart of this six-year-old girl, so Maggie always played with her. Being a teenager, she would never have been willing to do so if not for this, even if she was the youngest in Xiaofu.

Come dinner time, Maggie led Liu Xiaorui into the dining hall, the two of them talking and laughing along the way. As they entered the dining hall, Liu Xiaorui became solemn.

Seeing this, Xiao Bing was very pleased. He said with a smile, “Come and eat. Maggie, you’re doing well. You’re taking good care of your little sister.”

“Of course.” Maggie proudly said, “I told Little Huarui that I’ll take her to the playground tomorrow. Right, Little Huarui?”

“Yes.” Little Huarui nodded, looking very expectant.

Xiao Bing and Yezi looked at each other and smiled.

The meal was very good. Everyone was very kind to Little Huarui. They all dished her some food. After dinner, Xiao Bing found a room for Little Huarui. Little Huarui pulled Xiao Bing’s arm and pouted as she said, “Brother Bing, can I sleep with you and sister-in-law?”

Xiao Bing was stunned and said awkwardly, “Well…”

“I am very scared.” Liu Xiaorui said, “I used to sleep in my mother’s arms.”

Xiao Bing sighed and was about to agree to it. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he asked, “What about sleeping with Maggie?”

“Oh yes. Okay.” Children will always be children, because to her, Maggie was the closest in age with her in the entire Xiao mansion and Maggie would play with her. She agreed readily.

Xiao Bing went to Maggie’s room with Liu Xiaorui and knocked on the door. Maggie opened the door from inside. She took one look and immediately gave an intelligent smile, “Is Little Huarui going to sleep with me?”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “You are smart.”

Maggie smiled, “No problem. From now on, we will stay together.”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Your sister is still young, so take good care of her. Don’t stay up late. Children should get enough sleep.”

“I got it! I got it! You are such a nag. Why don’t you hurry back to your room?”

Xiao Bing smiled and bid Liu Xiaorui good night, then let Liu Xiaorui and Maggie go in together.

Xiao Bing returned to the room. When Yezi saw Xiao Bing come in, she asked, “Why didn’t you bring Little Huarui along? She is so young. She might be afraid of sleeping alone.”

Xiao Bing smiled bitterly, “A man’s mind is really less meticulous than a woman’s. I actually planned to get a room ready for her just now. Then she said that she was afraid, so I let her sleep with Maggie.”

Yezi smiled and said, “It is really wise to take in Maggie. See how she’s not only Xiaoxiao’s teacher, but also a good sister to Little Huarui.”

“Yes.” Xiao Bing gave a sigh of relief, and then said meaningfully, “Not only is Maggie herself associated with misfortune. I am afraid her experience is even more so.”

Yezi asked, “Brother Bing, is there something that you know about?”

Xiao Bing shook his head, “I don’t know and I haven’t asked, but do you think Gao Fei is simply her brother?”

Yezi said, “If he is her brother, I am afraid it is not very credible. This could be just a smoke bomb. Gao Fei seems to me to have a mission, and this mission is to protect Maggie. What’s more, in Gao Fei’s view, Maggie’s life is more important than his.”

“Yes, Gao Fei is a martial arts genius. I am afraid that it is very difficult to find someone who is comparable to him. He guards the girl with his life, so her background isn’t that simple. What’s more, Mr. Buddha’s goal is also Maggie. But I’m not going to think too much about it.” Xiao Bing got into bed. He smiled and grabbed Yezi as he said softly, “Let me sleep with my big baby.”

Yezi looked sweet.

At this moment, Liu Kexin had not returned home yet. The reason she was late home was because she had a candlelight dinner with Yu Miao. Since she promised to be his girlfriend, she hadn’t been rejecting him so much. Yu Miao was really happy for a few days, but now he was getting down. They have been dating several times and he found Liu Kexin willing to accompany him, but she still kept a distance from him. The most the couple had done was just holding hands and Liu Kexin always found the opportunity to withdraw hers. To say nothing of kissing, which they haven’t done.

Yu Miao had had many women in the past, yet he’d never had such a sense of frustration. Liu Kexin’s indifference to him made Yu Miao feel annoyed on the one hand. On the other hand, he became more appreciative of her. In his opinion, Liu Kexin was a girl worthy of respect, so he could only capture Liu Kexin’s heart bit by bit. That’s why he refused to obey the few times his father called him back. He had stayed in Jiang City and didn’t return.

After dinner with Liu Kexin, Yu Miao drove her back to the bottom of her neighborhood. Liu Kexin had just got out of the car when Yu Miao suddenly asked her to wait. He then got out himself and went to Liu Kexin, asking her gently and elegantly, “Can I accompany you home?”

Liu Kexin shook her head slightly and smiled, “You are tired enough. You’d better go home.”

Yu Miao sighed and thought of the Kabe-Don plot of South Korea’s Ouba. Suddenly there was an urgent impulse in his heart. He grabbed Liu Kexin and said softly, “Kexin, since you don’t need me to accompany you back, then let’s say good night here.”

The moment he finished speaking, his mouth went down to kiss Liu Kexin. Liu Kexin struggled in her heart. Kissing was not a rude thing between male and female friends. If she rejected, it would hurt Yu Miao’s self-respect. But if she accepted it, she couldn’t do it whole-heartedly. She didn’t know why. Even though she was with Yu Miao every day, someone else’s image appeared in her mind.

Finally, just when their lips were about to meet, Liu Kexin pushed Yu Miao away and broke away from his arms. Watching Yu Miao’s embarrassment, Liu Kexin apologized, “I’m sorry… I… I can’t accept it now.”

Yu Miao sighed. Although regretful, he was still very understanding, “It doesn’t matter. I will wait for the day when you can accept it. Good night then. Go home and go to bed early. I will pick you up tomorrow morning.”

“Thank you, and you don’t need to pick me up in the morning. I don’t feel good about troubling you every day.”

Yu Miao smiled, “It’s not a big deal, and this is my duty.”

Liu Kexin said, “You really don’t have to. I can go on my own.”

Seeing Liu Kexin was adamant, Yu Miao stopped insisting. He asked, “Then I will pick you up for dinner tomorrow night. Is that okay?”

Liu Kexin knew that her refusal would be too hurtful, and it was not polite to keep refusing him, so she nodded and agreed.

Yu Miao was happy again, and said with a smile, “Then go on home. I will stay here and watch till you get to your door.”

Waiting until Liu Kexin disappeared inside the security door, Yu Miao turned and opened the car door, got in and drove away from the community.

After leaving the community, Yu Miao saw a photo under the passenger’s seat. He guessed Liu Kexin must have dropped it. Yu Miao bent down and picked up the photo. He took one glance at it and his expression froze. It was a photo of Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin. When Xiao Bing pretended to be Liu Kexin’s boyfriend, they had a few photos taken. Liu Kexin must’ve secretly developed it and kept it with her every day.

He stared at the photo for a while and thought of Liu Kexin’s indifference when she was with him every day. Every time he wanted to hold her hand, she would always pull it away quietly. When he wanted a Kabe-Don, she pushed him away.

With a bang, his head hit the steering wheel, his heart filled with sorrow. He took a deep breath and put the photo into his pocket, ready to give it back to Liu Kexin tomorrow.

Xiao Bing was sleeping in the house with Yezi. His mobile suddenly rang. Xiao Bing got up and answered it. Yezi asked, “Who is it? What’s will calling so late?”

Yezi’s eyes were alert, and Xiao Bing glanced at the number above, then gave Yezi a look at the message above and smiled, “The young master of the Yu Family.”

“Oh, why is he calling you so late when he should be making long calls to his girlfriend? Are you having an affair with him?”

Xiao Bing smiled and said. “Who knows? Don’t forget that your Brother Bing is liked by both men and women.”

Xiao Bing answered the phone and smiled, “Hey, you call me so late at night. If it is not important, I will hang up. My girlfriend is angry. She suspects me of hooking up with other women… Ouch, don’t pinch me!”

Hearing Xiao Bing’s loving voice on the phone, Yu Miao got even more depressed when he thought of his failure with his girlfriend. He sighed and said, “Brother Bing, drink with me.”

“Drink? This late?” Xiao Bing could tell that he was down, so even though it was already late, he did not refuse. He smiled and said, “Well, tell me the location, and I will be there.”

“Thank you. Hengshan Road, the old side shop barbecue.”

Xiao Bing hung up and started to get out of bed to put on his clothes. Yezi sat up and asked, “You’re going out this late in the night?”

“I don’t know. He invited me for a drink.”

“Could he be disappointed in love?”

Xiao Bing was touched, and a nameless, peculiar feeling rose from within. He smiled and said, “I will know what it is when I go, baby. Don’t wait up for me.”

Yezi was a thoughtful woman and gently agreed, “Well, go early so you can come back early.”
