Chapter 220: Chapter 220 Superiority and compassion are two different things
“Where did you go? What took you so long to come back?” As soon as I entered the door, Chu Yuan came over to question me.
I lay down on the sofa lazily, yawned, and weakly said, “I saw Lao Guo and his girlfriend out and had a chat with them downstairs…”
“Who were you chatting to? Is it Lao Guo or his girlfriend?” Dongfang little brat clearly wanted to stir up trouble: “Elder Brother Nan, you are very popular amongst girls. Look at that woman, she expressed her admiration for you without even caring that her boyfriend was standing next to her.
Seeing that Chu Yuan’s small face became more and more gloomy, I glared at Dongfang brat and hurriedly explained, “what nonsense are you talking about? Is that called admiration? That’s envy! Envy you for having a good elder brother like me! Dongfang, if you make such a joke again, I’ll spank you!” This bratty girl! If I was popular amongst girls, would I still be a bachelor and a virgin? This Dongfang brat was clearly poking my scar deliberately.
“I’m so scared~” Dongfang covered her cheeks, pretending to be scared, and said with a joking tone, “so shameless. Only you call yourself a good elder brother. All you know is to bully Yuan Yuan.”
Seeing Dongfang’s face reddened, and a strange light flashed in her eyes, it made me think that there was hidden meaning in her sentence.
“When did I bully Yuan Yuan? I love my dear little sister.”
“Yeah? You love her so much that her butt still hurts!”
I instantly felt that my face was very hot. Oh, come on. Why would Chu Yuan tell her everything? Chu Yuan also blushed and scolded, “Dongfang, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
Extremely envious, Dongfang hummed, “it was you who told me this. How did it become my nonsense?”
“What do you know,” I responded shamelessly: “Beating is a sign of affection, cursing is a sign of love. So that was the sign of how much I love and care about Yuan Yuan.”
“Beating is a sign of affection, cursing is a sign of love?” Dongfang Lianren said with a cold snort: “then what about tickles? What kind of sign is that?”
I almost wanted to find a gap in the sofa and bury my head inside it like an ostrich. Oh, my dear little sister. How can you sell your elder brother out so easily? !
“That is a punishment!” I didn’t know if I was smiling coldly or lecherously, the moment I glanced at Dongfang little brat’s little feet, she shivered instinctively, “Little Dongfang, if you dare to make fun of this elder brother, I will let you taste the consequence of being disobedient too.”
“You… you dare!” Dongfang little brat’s butt was once grabbed by me, so she knew that I wasn’t bluffing. Seeing that I was still smiling at her, she timidly and quickly took a step backward. Seeing this, Chu Yuan, who was feeling embarrassed earlier couldn’t help but burst out giggling.
“Don’t try to change the subject, I was asking you about a serious business,” Chu Yuan pushed me aside, sat down beside me, and asked: “why did you switch off your phone?”
I couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat, this bratty girl still didn’t know that I was in a bad mood in the last two days. I didn’t switch on the phone because I wanted to avoid Mo Fei. I hurriedly made up an excuse and said, “I forget to switch it on.”
“Pfff…” Dongfang little brat covered her mouth and laughed. Sitting on the coffee table, face to face with Chu Yuan, she said with a mocking tone, “This excuse is so lame. Yuan Yuan, he really thinks that he can easily fool us.”
Sure enough, Chu Yuan’s beautiful brows were knitted, and her pretty face showed a faint of anger, “Remember that you’ve promised me to follow the little sister’s sutra? You can’t lie to your little sister! I am giving you another chance. Tell me, why did you not switch on your mobile phone?”
This bratty girl. Why did she insist that I didn’t switch on my phone for other reasons? What was even more strange was that if she knew that I was lying, would she be so generous as to give me another chance? A thought suddenly came into my mind. As I observed Chu Yuan more carefully this time, I noticed that in her big eyes, there was a faint gloating joy.
Damn it! So this was the reason! Seeing Dongfang Lianren’s reaction was exactly like Chu Yuan, I finally realized what was going on.
Sighing, I pretended to helplessly surrender, “Your elder brother is trying to hide from someone, so I didn’t dare to switch on the phone.”
Chu Yuan’s face was lit up with happiness, but she still tried to surpass it and keep a cold face. “Who are you trying to hide from?” She pretended to ask coldly.
“Trying to hide…” I smiled, “Hide from the person who called you just now.”
Chu Yuan was dazed for a moment, and in the end, she still couldn’t hold back her gloating expression, and punched my arm lightly, “How did you know that Elder Sister Dong called me?”
“I guessed it.” I smiled secretly. Unable to contact me, Dong Xiaoye this tigress must be thinking that I was going to stand her up again, so she called Chu Yuan instead. It was not difficult to tell it from the gloating expression of these two little girls.
“Elder Brother, I want to go too!”
“Why do you want to go?” My heart skipped a beat. Somehow, I just didn’t want Chu Yuan to see me being beaten. Dong Xiaoye was a criminal police officer; her fighting skills were definitely much better than mine. It was almost predictable that she was going to kick my ass badly. “It is just two people fighting each other, there is nothing to see. Besides, girls shouldn’t watch this kind of thing.”
“I just want to watch it.” Chu Yuan smirked, “I want to see how elder sister Dong will defeat you. Hehe. All you know is to bully me, this weak little girl. Elder sister Dong promised me that she would definitely punish you fiercely!”
“You bratty girl, why are you helping other people?” I couldn’t help but chuckle, “I’m your elder brother, alright!”
Chu Yuan pursed her mouth slightly and said in a childish tone, “I don’t care, I just want to see you get beaten by Elder Sister Dong.”
My face instantly dropped…
This damn Dong Xiaoye. She must have deliberately found Chu Yuan to be an audience so that I would not escape. Moreover, beating me up in front of them, she clearly wanted me to lose all my face in front of Chu Yuan. This damn tigress, no wonder she was a criminal police officer… But from this, it only showed that Dong Xiaoye was very confident in her skills. I started to think if I should suddenly have a stomach ache tomorrow?
Men should not show their fears on their faces. As a man, I didn’t want to show that I was a coward. So I said heroically, “Then you shouldn’t go even more. Because your elder brother would not be beaten up. I would not go easy on that tigress just because she is a woman. So in order to save that tigress’ face, it is better for you to stay at home and watch anime.”
“Shameless.” Dongfang Lianren smiled disdainfully, “Elder Brother Nan, if you two are comparing your bragging skills, I believe you can win without any difficulty. After all, this is the only thing you are good at.”
A gentleman would rather die than be humiliated. I sneered lecherously, reached out my right hand, and moved my fingers quickly as if I was groping the air, “Little Sister Dongfang, this elder brother’s is pretty good with his fingers too. Would you like to experience it with your little feet?”
“You…” Dongfang subconsciously curled up her legs, blushing with a pink and pretty face, “You pervert!”
“Yes, I am a pervert!” I replied in a huff and said: “Tomorrow, I will molest that police officer. So it is not suitable for children. If you dare to follow, huh, huh.”
…
God damn it…
After I said that I was going to molest the policewoman, not only did it not scare away those two bratty girls, but they wanted to follow me even more! Walking closely behind me on the street, if they had a leash on their hand, it looked completely like they were walking a dog.
The place where Dong Xiaoye asked me to meet up with her turned out to be a private elementary school for children of migrant workers in a very remote location. Only after we changed buses five times did we finally arrive at the place.
The place where this private elementary school was located was like a small corner forgotten by this developing metropolis. However, although it was remote, it didn’t contain the natural beauty and quietness that a remote location of the city should have. As soon as we walked out of the city, what appeared before us was rows of dilapidated bungalows. Amid the roars of the large machines, we could see the tall buildings under construction not far away that were shrouded in a faint gray dust mist.
The road was rugged and bumpy, plus the rainy weather in the last two days, it was really muddy. After walking a little distance, we finally reached the private primary school mentioned by Dong Xiaoye.
On a small flat ground, there was a rusty football goal on the north and south. On the north side, which was close to the gate, there were tattered basketball hoops standing in the east-west direction. The paint on the backboards had already been worn off, and the wooden backboards looked rotten as if they would collapse at any time.
This relatively flat ground was a playground.
Next to the playground was a path paved with bricks. There were short pine trees planted by the side of the road. On the other side of the road, there were six rows of simple bungalows painted with yellow paint. The roof of those bungalows did not look like a floor slab, but more like a light board.
The glass windows of the classroom were very clean. Under the sunlight, they were unusually dazzling. The whole place gave off a simple feeling, but very clean and neat.
The school was very small, but it looked like it had a lot of students. Even on weekends, there were many students in the playground.
“Why does Elder sister Dong ask us to come to this place?” Chu Yuan looked at a group of dirty children chasing a football and sighed quietly, “I never knew that there are still elementary schools with such poor conditions. These children are really pitiful.”
“Don’t sympathize with others for no reason,” I patted Chu Yuan’s head lightly, and smiled faintly: “The students here should be the children of migrant workers who come to work in Bei Tian City. Although their living conditions may not be better than you, how do you know that people are happy or unhappy? Yuan Yuan, whether they are pitiful or not, or happy or not, it is not based on the clothes on their bodies, but the smiles on their faces. You see, how happy their smiles are.”
Chu Yuan was dazed when she heard the words. Then when she looked at those teenagers laughing happily, a smile gradually appeared on her face as if she understood something.
“Elder Brother, you are right. To sympathize with others is to show off your superiority. This is not compassion, but self-righteousness.” She said to me with a blushing face.
I didn’t expect that my little sister would understand it so quickly. I just casually told her what was wrong, and she figured it out. It made me feel very proud. I couldn’t help but pinch her face and smiled, “so clever. My love and care for my little baby are not in vain.”
“Elder Brother! What are you talking about?!” Chu Yuan blushed with embarrassment. She pinched my waist, twisted it very hard, and said shyly: “Who is your baby? ! And, and love… love or something, it’s so embarrassing.”
I chuckled, “can’t an elder brother praise his little sister, what is there to be embarrassed about?”
“You are thick-skinned, of course, you would not be embarrassed. But…” Dongfang little brat sneered, her beautiful eyes inexplicably jetting flames of jealousy, “that doesn’t matter. Elder Brother Nan, I guess that elder sister Dong will definitely kick your ass!”
“Kick my ass? She is lucky that I don’t plan to fight her with all my strength,” I pretended to be a gentleman and said, “It is a shame that I am a man. And as the saying goes, men don’t fight with women. So I will go easy on her.”
What I said was so righteous, but Chu Yuan heard the hidden meaning in my words and said in surprise: “Elder Brother, do you want to lose to Elder Sister Dong on purpose?”
