Chapter 33: Alienation.
All afternoon Chen Xiao was a little restless, full of thoughts about the girl called Xiao Qing, thinking about what she had to do with Phoenix.
After five o'clock, at the end of today's course, Chen Xiao immediately packed up his things and rushed out of the school gate without a trace of smoke. Today is Wednesday, and in the evening, he still has to do the work of tutoring.
At the gate of the school, Chen Xiao saw Bai MeiMei. Bai MeiMei supported her bicycle on the roadside outside the school gate. She had a pure little flower skirt, white shins, sandals. In the afternoon sunshine, she covered her eyebrows with one hand. She saw Chen Xiao striding out from afar, and her eyes suddenly bent with laughter.
"Chen Xiao." The crisp cries of cabbage, and then she skipped to Chen Xiao's side and looks at the other side: "Didn't you ride a bicycle today?"
"I left my 'car' downtown." Chen Xiao sighed and worried that his 'car' had been left at the bank gate for several days, but these days, he happened to encounter strange things every day. He never took time to find his ride back.
Bai was stunned for a moment, with a slight disappointment in her eyes. She finished class early this morning, but did not go back immediately. Instead, she waited at the school gate, hoping to ride with Chen Xiao.
"Oh... So, are you going to take the subway? Bai Meimei failed to hide her emotions well, and her tone was clear and somewhat depressed: "I'll take you to the station. It's a long way from here."
"No." Chen Xiao smiled. "A friend just dropped me off."
When he said this, he subconsciously pinched the knuckles of his fists and made a clicking sound. As soon as he finished, there was a car whistle behind him. Xu Ershao drove the old man's Volvo car to the school gate.
When the window fell, Xu Ershao, sitting in the car, was obviously afraid to touch Chen Xiao's eyes. In the afternoon, Chen Xiao had called him. The content of the phone was simple: "Damn boy, if you want to visit a teacher, why pull me out as a target? That desolate kungfu is so good that you know it's killing to talk like that!"
In the afternoon's phone call, Xu Ershao just laughed. He knew he was responsible for his mistakes and did not dare to explain anything at all. Now at the school gate, looking at Chen Xiao's fist, he quickly stepped out of the car and opened his hand: "Hey, you can't beat me today. I'm a wounded man now. Yesterday, when I was practicing kung fu, I was beaten by Xiao Qing terribly. You can't fall into the ground.
"Well, if I want to hurt you, I'll tell the truth to Xiao Qing today. She said that if someone deceived her, they would break the other's leg. You can also see that she doesn't seem to be very joking.
Xu Ershao shrank his head and said with a hippy smile, "Two brothers, I know you won't sell me."
After all, he was so guilty that he jumped off the topic as if he had suddenly discovered a new continent. Turning his head to Bai MeiMei with a cry of surprise, as if he had seen some national treasure like a giant panda: "Wow!" You are the legendary "cabbage" MeiMei bar!! Ha ha ha ha ha, Chen Xiao and I mentioned you ah. No wonder Chen Xiao helped you so helplessly, he was so cute then! ____________
Xu Eryi saw the lovely young Bai MeiMei, and saw more famous ladies in Kidd College. At this moment, he saw a MM with no fat powder and clear soup hanging noodles. The wolf's eyes immediately sparkled, he lightly dialed the hair on his forehead, and stepped up to the front with the most magnetic voice: "Beauty, what's the number of your phone?" Can you leave a number and have dinner with me another day?
Suddenly, as if by magic, a blooming rose came out of his sleeve.
His eyes were charming and he smiled with the most lethal force: "You know, when I came out just now, I saw this flower blooming beautifully in the school garden. I thought it might be the most beautiful thing I met today, but I didn't expect that... Now I meet you again, I just know that I was wrong. Although the flowers are beautiful, how can they compare with you? So I have to give it to you."
Bai MeiMei stared at the roses and looked at them as if they had stayed for a while and opened her mouth. When Xu Ershao thought he was in the right place, Bai suddenly turned hee head and said a word to Chen Xiao. Suddenly, Xu Ershao was almost hit by a fall.
"Chen Xiao, who is this lady's voice?" -
Lad, lady???
Xu Erxiao's face suddenly collapsed.
Sissy?
Xu Ershao has not been scolded since he was a child: he was scolded as a little flower, a little goat, a little scoundrel, etc.
But being scolded as a sissy, and from a girl's mouth, this...
That's the f*ck of it!!
"Too, too, too..." Xu Ershao shivered even in his voice: "It hurts my self-esteem too much, it hurts too much... To think Xu Ershao has been running through K city for many years, indulging in flowers, gathering numerous flowers, and no one has ever been there... Who do you say is a sissy!!! ___________
Bai looked at the man in front of her, who was shivering with anger even in his cheeks and muscles. She put her mouth aside and stretched out her hand with disapproval. "His face is paler than a woman's...................................... Also, if he's not sissy, why do you learn to wear earrings for women?
Earrings?
This is true. Xu Erxiao did wear a small and delicate platinum earring on his left ear.
Xu Ershao turned a white eye and said angrily, "What do you know, little girl? This is called individuality, called alternative, called taste! It's called independence!"
Bai sighed and looked at Xu Ershao. Suddenly, she smiled and her voice was full of comfort. "Okay, I understand..." Well, I don't mean to despise you either. Why are you so excited? —— This is a pleasant remark, but the next sentence made Xu Ershao jump!
"... Actually, being GAY is not a shameful thing. You don't have to feel inferior. Bai MeiMei said in comfort.
"GAY!????" Xu Ershao's crumbling expression on his face immediately gushed blood all over his body into his face, blushed and angrily said, "I! I! I'll fork you in a circle!!! ___________ Xu Ershao, who never said rude words, vomited blood at this moment!
If other people in Kidd College dared to talk to Xu Ershao like that, he would have broken his opponent's nose with his fist. Unfortunately, in front of him was a delicate girl. Xu Ershao shivered with anger, but only said angrily, "You are GAY!" Your whole family is GAY!!!
[I'm really tempted to meme this as I have the ability to do so but... Moderation is key]
"Alas... Poor fellow." Bai MeiMei was not angry at all, but kindly reminded him instead: "Only men are called GAY, women should be called Lesbian, remember oh. You are an insider. If you say something like this without common sense, you will be laughed at by other GAYS.
"No!" No more!!!! Xu Ershao shouted angrily and stroked his sleeve desperately: "Xiaoniangpi! What a niche! Come here, young master, I will fight you today!!!!
Bai MeiMei blinked her eyes carelessly. Her expression was harmless to people and animals. She looked at Xu Ershao calmly and sighed, "Oh, what can I say? Battle it out? It is clear that I am a woman and you are a man. What are the "female" and "male" decisions? Have you been GAY for so long that you can't tell whether you are a male or a female?
Chen Xiao opened his eyes and watched Xu Ershao being talked about by Bai. He was so angry that his hair almost stood up. Originally, he taught the boy a little lesson because of the depression aka Xiao Qing. But now, he was almost angry with Bai. He snickered up to play a round court and said, "Okay, do you have to fight like roosters when you meet for the first time?" Come here, this is Bai MeiMei, this is Xu Yifan or just call him Xu Erxiao, my friend."
[below is supposed to be, not to be included and will just be deleted cuz I don't understand a thing probably because it's probably has got to do with the language which I know nothing of... But if anyone do know please tell me in the comments]
"Oh, your name is Xu Yifan? But why is Xu'er less? Chinese cabbage smiled innocently: "Are you one or two?"
"Two! I am two! I am two! Do you have any ear problems?' Xu Ershao bites and incises his teeth.
The cabbage finally laughed and made a gesture of victory.
"You sure are two..."
Xu Erxiao: "I........."
[This is where it ends...]
—— This is the first historic meeting between Bai MeiMei and Xu Ershao.-
"All right, stop fighting." Chen Xiao smiled and looked at Bai. "Don't be angry with him, either." Yesterday's business, he helped us fix it, otherwise, those guys will trouble you again today.
"I know." Bai said with a smile.
"You know? Then do you know what to say? Xu Ershao rolled his eyes and said, "You don't know how to give thanks!"
Bai hummed and slowly said, "First, it was Chen Xiao who helped me yesterday. Later, you did help me with this, but it's because of Chen Xiao's face, so I owe Chen Xiao's human feelings, not yours. Make this clear. As for the second, you come up and talk to girls. I hate guys like you the most."
After a pause, on the look of Bai came out with a murderous breath: "Finally... I hate being called cabbage! You remember, otherwise, you'd better prepare a bottle of quick-acting heart-saving pills in your pocket before you meet me in the future.
Xu Ershao stared at Bai and looked at her carefully. After a long time, he sighed at last: "Unfortunately, such a beautiful and quiet girl, how can a mouth be full of clever teeth? Well, Young Master won't bother with you any more."
"That's it." Bai suddenly smiled and said, "An old man said that the more beautiful the world is, the more deceptive the woman will be!"
"Yi? Which ancients said that?" Xu Erxiao and even Chen Xiao, was curious.
"Jin Yong." Bai smiled proudly and raised her chest, which had begun to take shape [the breast].
Xu Ershao blinked his eyes and said, "Jin Yong... It's not like the ancients.
"What happened in the last century is old!" Bai waved her hand very boldly.
"Break it up!" Xu Ershao is a little disdainful. He and Bai seem to have some eight-character inconsistencies. As soon as they know each other, they look like roosters cockfighting:* "You know, I can't imagine you reading Jinyong's book."
[does that mean Bai is a futa? I know. I know. This is just a joke so calm down]
"... Of ourse not, I've only seen TV dramas." Bai answered honestly.
"Hum, uneducated girl." Xu Ershao straightened his chest. "Knowing the first time that Jin Yong's fourteen book titles were unknown, but a poem can be formed by stringing them together:"Snow shoots white deer in the sky, and the book-laughing swordsman leans on the green duck"?
[I did not bother correcting it as I don't know sh*t about it... It's not like I'm incompetent(which I am) but I'm just editing machine translations which I translated when I read for my personal consumption and have no knowledge about Chinese language nor culture.]
"I don't know what's going on." Bai shook her head and glanced at Xu Erxiao. "But you know all the novels of another world famous writer? The first word of each book's title is also a poem in series."
"Oh? What is it? Who?
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Bai 'laughed' seven times and looked at Xu Erxiao saying lightly. "JK-Rowling." -
[never expected for it to translate so smoothly as per usual it would end up like what's above this paragraph]
Xu Ershao pulled Chen Xiao into the car, then ran away immediately.
When he was driving, he seemed to vent all his depression on the accelerator. The dashboard index soared all the way. As soon as Chen Xiao got on the car, he hurried to tie his seat belt.
Along the way, Xu Ershao did not say a word, and just drove silently, the Volvo car was flying fast all the way. He soon dropped Chen Xiao off at the home address where he was going to teach tonight.
At the intersection of the community, Chen Xiao and Xu Ershao greeted him to get off, but just as he was about to leave, Xu Ershao suddenly lowered the car window. His expression was strange, but also abnormal, and his voice was very low.
"Hello, Chen Xiao, I ask you a question and you answer me honestly."
"What?" Chen Xiao supported his one-shoulder backpack.
"Well, that... Chinese cabbage. " Xu Ershao seemed to hesitate. "You really don't mean anything to her?"
[Chinese cabbage is Chinese cabbage as it suites it here more instead of using Bai MeiMei]
Chen Xiao looked at Xu Ershao's somewhat serious expression, but he was worried: "I don't mean to offend you but you don't really want to retaliate on such a weak woman, do you?"
"No." Xu Ershao shook his head, but he didn't even laugh. He was serious, but his cheeks turned red. "I know she's a very interesting girl. I've never met such a girl... So, do you really don't have. .."
His voice grew smaller and smaller, but he suddenly shook his head: "Damn, don't talk! I'm leaving! "
After that, the window was closed, and the car turned around quickly in situ and rushed out like crazy.
[situ is not a mistake]
Chen Xiao stood there, watching Xu Ershao go away, thinking about what he wanted to say but didn't say at last. He was surprised and amused.
Yi? Did Xu Ershao treat Chinese cabbage ____________
Seriously?
Come on, do we on Kidd College will have to really put on a fake version of the story of Chinese fir and Daoming Temple. -
Walking into the community, he came to the door of the family where he worked as a tutor. Suddenly, in front of the garage, there was a scream...
Chen Xiao saw the hostess of the household where he worked. The elegant lady was pushed aside by a man's fierce slap and she fell to the ground with a cry of pain. The man was dressed in a suit, but his hair was scattered and his eyes were red. He could smell the strong scent of alcohol from the man even if he was far away.
The lady was pushed to the ground, her knee suddenly bled from the tile on the ground, her face filled with tears, and she stared at the man angrily.
"You silly woman!" The man roared loudly, he is drunk so his tongue tied up a little: "Lao Zi, Me? don't go to entertainment, no? don't drink, where there is LIFE? business!" No business, I TAKE...take, what to feed you! House, car, clothes, which is not for me, but my money to buy!! You cry! All day long, All you know is to cry, cry and cry!! There's no end to f*cking it!! Are you cursing, cursing, cursing me to death!!! ___________
With that, he opened the garage door with an electric remote control and staggered in.
What business do you do? What's the reward!!!! ___________ The hostess wanted to jump up and stop, "You're going to drink, gamble and play with women with them again!" You know there's no money left at home! If you go on like this, the family will be ruined by you!!!
"Get away!" The man blushed, and a loud slap fell on the woman's face. The hostess's original delicate face was instantly marked with several bright red finger marks. The man turned and rushed into the car. He immediately started the car and the engine roared.
The hostess was in a hurry, she rushed up and blocked the exit of the garage with her hands open. "I won't let you go today even if I die!"
"Dodge! Don't, don't face the old, Lao Tzu's way! __________ The man shouted in terror.
The hostess did not waver, instead she opened her arms more, and suddenly she threw herself down on her knees, weeping and pleading, "Husband, I beg you, will you please come down..."
The man in alcohol burned with anger as he has lost his reason. His drunk eyes was with a trace of fury, he shrieked and shouted: "Okay! If you want to die, Lao Tzu will make you die, whole!"
After that, the sound of the engine roared violently...
Not good!
Chen Xiao was still standing not far away. He guessed in his heart that the husband and wife, of this man and woman must only see conflicts, and that an outsider of himself seemed not convenient to intervene in the past, but now he saw the man's voice somewhat out of control...
Before he had time to hesitate, Chen Xiao looked at the car as if it had gone mad and rushed out. The woman seemed to be stunned. She looked desperately at the car, as if she could not believe her husband would do so. She just knelt there, helpless and desperation is on her face... Chen Xiao saw it in his eyes, he only felt numbness on his scalp, and ran uncontrollably, as if a sudden burst of strength came out of his body!!
It was already dusk, and there were no other people around. If someone else was there, then they would see what happened in this moment, and will stare at the spot!
In this instant, Chen Xiao's figure seemed to flee fiercely! It's like something hit him hard behind him! Originally, he was seven or eight meters away from the hostess, but he just came to them in an instant! __________
He pushed his hands almost unconsciously, and the woman kneeling on the ground was pushed out by him, far beyond the lawn next to him.
At this moment, the car that rushed out crazily has already arrived in front of Chen Xiao.
If you pay attention to Chen Xiao's eyes at the moment, one pair of his pupils seems to instantly become transparent in color! He did not make any dodging movements. In this case, he just held his chest and head fast with human instinct hands, hunched up and made a subconscious self-protection movement.
Subsequently, the car has hit him severely!
Boom!
Bang!!
A shadow flew out horizontally...
It was not Chen Xiao who flew out! It is... Car!
