My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Little Crybaby!-Chapter 78: Huh, Didn’t You Run Away from Home?
"Huh?" Jiang Yuan was still not fully awake at this moment, her whole being was in a foggy state.
After hearing the voice, she stopped in her tracks, and although she lifted her head to look his way, her gaze lacked focus.
Dazed and bewildered, like a little deer that had strayed into the human world.
Xu Jinyan deliberately stood in front of her to ensure she could see him clearly.
Jiang Yuan’s gaze finally found focus, but her brain was still not functioning properly; she stared at him for quite a while before slowly opening her mouth and asking, "Yanyan? Why aren’t you asleep?"
Young Master Xu, seeing that she finally noticed him, hummed with satisfaction, "I’m running away from home, and none of you should stop me."
The little girl’s eyelids drooped, looking like they could close at any moment; upon hearing this, she simply uttered an "Oh," and then said nothing more.
Xu Jinyan: Oh???
What kind of reaction is that?
Shouldn’t she be concerned upon hearing about my running away from home?
Maybe she didn’t hear me clearly.
Unable to hold back, Young Master Xu repeated it once more, and fearing she wouldn’t understand, he deliberately slowed down his speech, "I said, I’m running, away, from, home."
Jiang Yuan’s consciousness finally shook off some grogginess; she blinked, stared at him silently for three seconds, then suddenly said, "Wait for me." After that, she ran downstairs.
Young Master Xu thought she was going to call Lin Wan and Xu Annian; he tried to look calm on the surface, yet inside he was secretly overjoyed.
Trailing behind her, he deliberately went downstairs slowly, giving everyone ample time to stop him.
However, once downstairs, he found only Jiang Yuan standing in the living room waiting for him.
No one else was in sight.
Young Master Xu panicked inside but managed to muster a resolute expression, "I told you, nobody stop me, even if you try to, I won’t stay."
Jiang Yuan blinked her big eyes and said, "Oh, I wasn’t trying to stop you. I wanted you to take this with you." With that, she extended her hand, passing him a small bowl she had found somewhere.
Young Master Xu: ???
"Why would I need to take that with me?" Is she worried I won’t have anything to eat outside?
Jiang Yuan looked at him seriously and said, "If you get hungry and have no money to buy food outside, you can use it to beg for food."
Xu Jinyan: ...
An image of himself wearing tattered clothes, holding a broken bowl, and kneeling on the ground begging from strangers suddenly flashed through his mind.
He shivered involuntarily.
"Here, take it back. I don’t want it!" Young Master Xu, face turned iron blue, huffily handed the bowl back to her.
What kind of person is this?
She knew he was leaving home, and not only didn’t stop him but also gave him a broken bowl to beg with.
Does she think Lin Xiaowan and his father definitely wouldn’t look for him?
Besides, he’s so handsome; there would definitely be a bunch of people waiting to pick him up and take him home as their son. How could he possibly end up begging?
Who is she underestimating?
The more Young Master Xu thought about it, the angrier he became.
He felt she was doing it on purpose, intentionally trying to drive him away so she could monopolize Lin Xiaowan, his dad, and his brother.
Hmph, he wouldn’t let her succeed.
Thinking this, Young Master Xu decisively slung his backpack over his shoulder and turned around.
Jiang Yuan stood there, blinking her eyes in confusion, and asked, "Eh, aren’t you running away from home?"
See, this girl really intended to drive him away.
He wasn’t going to fall for it.
Convinced he had thwarted her scheme, Young Master Xu turned around huffily and said to her, "Don’t think you can drive me away. I won’t fall for your trick."
Jiang Yuan: ???
