After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 497

Chapter 497: Colliding with the King of Hell
By the time school was dismissed in the afternoon, Huo Ji’an hadn’t said a word to Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou was deeply troubled, looking gloomy even when she got home.

Qin Lie drove ahead, noticing the chubby little girl sighing deeply, and couldn’t help but wonder, “What’s wrong?”

“Little Skinny Pole was angry at me,” Zhouzhou fretted, furrowing her brow as she recounted the situation, then eagerly asked, “Daddy, do you have any way to cheer up a boy?”

At her words, Qin Lie shook his head. He wasn’t good at coaxing people; he only knew how to comfort her, his little daughter.

As for teaching Zhouzhou to coax Huo Ji’an… Coax him? No way. His daughter should live happily, not worry about coaxing others.

Moreover, coaxing boys, especially young ones, was pointless. They’d grow up to be like any other unreliable men. If Zhouzhou learned to coax them, what would become of her?

Tapping his fingers lightly on the steering wheel, Qin Lie calmly said, “Zhouzhou, if someone is very angry, it’s best not to approach them. Otherwise, they’ll only get angrier when they see you.”

“Really?” Zhouzhou scratched her head. “Uncle Sweetie said the same thing.”

“See, I’m telling you the truth,” Qin Lie casually misled his daughter, “Forcing your way in will only annoy the other person more. Sometimes, letting go is a good idea.”

The best option was to give a silent treatment and then naturally drift apart.

That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about someone bothering his daughter.

Unaware of her father’s true thoughts, Zhouzhou thought everything he said was true. She touched her chubby chin and said, “Okay, then I won’t go find Little Skinny Pole for now.”

“Mm.” Qin Lie nodded in satisfaction, taking Zhouzhou home. After dinner, he took her to study, putting this matter out of her mind.

Meanwhile, Huo Ji’an waited at home, growing increasingly despondent as he didn’t receive a call from Zhouzhou.

See? Even elementary school students ignored him, a kindergarten newbie.

Truly proud elementary schoolers.

Huo Ji’an clenched his fists, feeling anxious. No, he couldn’t be abandoned by Chubby Girl.

They were supposed to be lifelong friends, always together.

What if the Chubby Girl made new friends later? What would he do then?

He was just a kindergartener; how could he compete with cool elementary schoolers?

With this in mind, he couldn’t sit still any longer. He immediately ran to Yu Ze and said, “Dad, did you get the first-grade textbooks for me?”

That’s why he called him today.

He wanted to skip a grade too!

A good partner wouldn’t make their friend wait; he had to catch up and fight alongside her.

“I got them.” Yu Ze picked up a stack of books from the desk. “They’re all here. I also asked the principal. As long as your exam results are good, you can skip a grade.”

Huo Ji’an nodded eagerly. “Then let’s start studying right away.”

“Okay.” Yu Ze nodded, smiling lightly. Then, he hugged Huo Ji’an and sat him down at the desk, opening the books.

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke, “Ji’an, Dad knows you’re a little upset this time, but Zhouzhou didn’t mean it. She cares about you a lot, and Dad knows you care about her too. In that case, you shouldn’t give her the silent treatment.”

“The silent treatment is the most damaging to relationships. If you’re unhappy about something, you can tell her directly. Once it’s out in the open, apologize if necessary and do what needs to be done. But if you ignore her, Zhouzhou will be very sad.”

Huo Ji’an’s problem lay here: he didn’t like to speak up, always sulking and challenging himself, which made the other person anxious.

It was fortunate that Zhouzhou had a good temper and wouldn’t get angry. Otherwise, if it were someone else who couldn’t coax him, they might just leave.

Children make friends quickly. Even playing with sand together could turn them into good friends.

Hesitating at his words, Huo Ji’an said anxiously, “Dad, if I speak up, will the Chubby Girl dislike me and think I’m too troublesome?”

His former dad was like this, finding him annoying.

He dared not speak up.

He could do without his former dad, but he didn’t want to lose the Chubby Girl.

Understanding his dilemma, Yu Ze held his hand and said softly, “She won’t. Zhouzhou isn’t that kind of person. She really likes you, and besides, she’s very patient, isn’t she?”

Huo Ji’an thought for a moment and nodded.

Then, he pouted, “But she gave me a sack.”

Thinking of this, he pouted even higher, looking unhappy. Was he really so worthless in the Chubby Girl’s eyes?

Yu Ze also paused, then suddenly laughed.

“But for Zhouzhou, that sack is her most precious bag.”

Huo Ji’an blinked, looking up at him in confusion.

Yu Ze helped him analyze, “You know, Zhouzhou likes making money. She goes to set up a stall every week. If people don’t have sacks, how can they carry goods? The sacks contain the treasures she uses to make money. By giving you a sack, she’s treating you as her treasure too.”

So that’s what it meant!

Huo Ji’an suddenly understood, and all his unhappiness disappeared. Excitedly, he said, “Then I’ll go find Chubby Girl and tell her that I have forgiven her tomorrow!”

“Good.” Yu Ze gently patted his head, a hint of a smile in his eyes. “Let’s start our lesson.”

“Yeah yeah!”

The next day, Huo Ji’an kept his word. When he saw Zhouzhou, he ran over and said, “Chubby Girl, I forgive you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou exclaimed in surprise, “Really?”

“Really!” Huo Ji’an nodded, smiling. “I’ve thought it over. I want to go to elementary school too. Let’s continue to be friends in the future.”

“Okay!” Zhouzhou was also thrilled. She had been thinking about how to coax him on the way here, but she didn’t expect him to not be angry on his own.

She couldn’t help turning to Qin Lie and saying, “Daddy, your method really worked!”

Indeed, she hadn’t gone to find Little Skinny Pole last night and had left time for him. That’s why he wasn’t angry.

Qin Lie’s face darkened, glancing at Yu Ze beside him, and he roughly understood what had happened. However, seeing the smile on his daughter’s face, he didn’t say anything, just nodded with a stern face.

He was never expressive, and now Zhouzhou’s attention was on Huo Ji’an, so she didn’t notice.

The two children held hands and happily skipped into the classroom.

Qin Lie gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and turned to drive to the company.

Passing through an intersection, he saw that the green light was about to come on in two seconds when suddenly a wheelchair rushed out and fell in front of the car.

Immediately after, a man with an anxious expression ran over, his face full of grief as he cried, “Mom!”

After shouting, he angrily looked at Qin Lie and roared, “Murderer, get out of the car!”

Seeing this scene, Qin Lie suddenly laughed, but there was a chill in his eyes.

His fingers also tapped lightly.

Some people really courted death…
