After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 870

Chapter 870: Zhouzhou Gone Crazy
“Zhouzhou, what are you doing?!”

The principal heard the noise and walked over, looking at the broken door. “I saw it; you broke it. You’ll have to pay for it.”

Zhouzhou was taken aback by this, instinctively letting go of her grip and turning to look.

Sure enough, it was broken.

Realizing she had done something wrong, Zhouzhou looked to Qin Lie for help.

Qin Lie sighed deeply, took out a bank card from her small bag, and handed it to the principal. “Just charge it to this. I’m sorry.”

He then looked at his daughter, who was about to cry, and gently patted her head, saying earnestly, “Zhouzhou, Daddy has taught you that if you break someone else’s things, you have to pay for them.”

“I didn’t do it on purpose,” Zhouzhou sniffled.

She really had just grabbed the door casually.

“Daddy knows.” Qin Lie stroked her chubby face. “Our Zhouzhou is the best. If it weren’t for special circumstances, you wouldn’t have broken the door and had to pay.”

As he spoke, he shot a glance in Guo Shuai’s direction, his meaning clear.

Zhouzhou suddenly remembered.

That’s right!

It was all because of him!

Daddy and the others were right; getting close to boys would indeed lead to losing money!

Zhouzhou couldn’t hold back her anger any longer. She plopped down on the ground, one hand on the door and the other slapping her thigh, and cried out, “Why is my life so hard?!”

She hadn’t done anything, yet for no reason at all, someone came up and said he liked her, and now she had to pay.

It was so unfair!

If anyone dared to say they liked her again, she would smash their head!

As she cried, Zhouzhou’s expression turned fierce.

Qin Lie watched nearby, nodding in satisfaction.

Great! As long as they kept a hold on this little money-grubber, Zhouzhou could handle any boy who tried to approach her on her own.

He didn’t believe anyone could make Zhouzhou give up money to be with them, except for their family.

With this thought, he felt completely at ease.

Even though Zhouzhou was crying her heart out, Qin Lie still handed the principal the card, giving him a nod to charge it directly.

The principal was confused by the father-daughter duo and cooperatively took the card.

“Alright, I’ll get someone to fix it soon. Just charge whatever the cost is to this card. Once it’s fixed, I’ll return the card to you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou became even sadder, her tears flowing down as she leaned against the door, looking utterly despondent.

She looked quite pitiful.

The principal couldn’t help but glance at Qin Lie, silently asking if he wasn’t going to do anything.

However, Qin Lie seemed quite pleased.

Seeing this, the principal was even more baffled, looking at him in confusion.

“Chubby Girl, what’s wrong?” Huo Ji’an came down from the car and, upon seeing Zhouzhou crying at the door, asked in puzzlement.

Seeing her friend, Zhouzhou cried even louder, her little chubby hands slapping her thigh. “Wah, Little Skinny Pole, my life is really so hard!”

Li Yuxin also arrived, looking at her in bewilderment.

After a moment’s thought, she stepped over to help her up.

She tugged, but Zhouzhou didn’t budge.

Seeing this, Huo Ji’an hurried over to assist.

Together, they managed to pull Zhouzhou up by her arms.

As Zhouzhou walked, still crying her heart out, she turned to them and said, “My life is tough; do you know?”

Huo Ji’an nodded, “I know, I know.”

“Xinxin, do you know?” Zhouzhou turned and asked Li Yuxin again.

Li Yuxin was speechless. Zhouzhou looked so much like her grandmother in this moment.

With a troubled expression, she thought Zhouzhou’s life was quite good, given how loved she was by her family.

Just three seconds of hesitation and Zhouzhou cried out in despair, “My life is tough!”

Her voice was so piercing that even Qin Lie, standing at the school gate, could hear it.

He couldn’t help but chuckle.

Qin Nan and Qin Bei exchanged glances and quickly ran off.

With their uncle around, Zhouzhou probably wouldn’t have a boyfriend for the rest of her life.

But Zhouzhou never intended to have one anyway.

As little chubby girl continued to cry, so heartbroken that she sat down and slapped her thigh.

Huo Ji’an covered his face, feeling a bit embarrassed for Zhouzhou for the first time.

He looked around, tugging at Zhouzhou while quietly asking, “Chubby Girl, what’s wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me, and I’ll help you get back at them!”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou looked at him with tearful eyes and asked, “Little Skinny Pole, do you like me?”

Huo Ji’an nodded without hesitation, “Of course I do.”

She was his best friend.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Zhouzhou became even more distraught. Stomping her chubby little feet, she said, “Don’t like me! I don’t want to lose money again!”

“Why is my life so…” She couldn’t finish her thought, as Huo Ji’an quickly covered her mouth.

He was a bit worried.

What was wrong with Chubby Girl today?

She was acting so crazy.

Zhouzhou was beyond help.

Just thinking about her money made her feel miserable.

Most importantly, she didn’t even know that boy!

Just because of his words, her money was gone.

Remembering how much she had talked with Huo Ji’an, Zhouzhou hurriedly let go of his hand, distancing herself from him.

Little Skinny Pole was also a boy; she had to keep her distance!

With this in mind, Zhouzhou grabbed Li Yuxin and ran off.

Huo Ji’an looked at her in confusion. When they reached the classroom, he heard Zhouzhou pulling Li Yu’an aside, badmouthing him.

No, she was talking bad about all boys.

Zhouzhou said, “My big brother said that getting close to boys brings misfortune and costs money.”

Li Yu’an nodded in understanding, asking, “But isn’t your big brother a boy too?”

Zhouzhou shook her head. “No, family doesn’t count; only boys from outside do.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Huo Ji’an, her expression clearly no longer showing the happiness she once had upon seeing him.

This made Huo Ji’an feel like crying out, “My life is tough!”

He hadn’t done anything to her; why was she dragging him into this?

“Chubby Girl, that’s not fair!” Huo Ji’an protested unhappily. “If other boys bully you, what does that have to do with me? You’re hurting my feelings!”

He huffed, storming over to his seat.

Seeing him like this, Zhouzhou scratched her head, reflecting for a moment before walking over to him, hesitating as she asked, “Do you want to be my boyfriend so that we can eat together and watch movies together?”

Upon hearing this, Huo Ji’an was startled, immediately covering his pockets. “I don’t want to!”

He glared at Zhouzhou cautiously, backing away two steps to keep his distance.

“But you eat so much, I’ll go broke!”

Eating together?

With her, that was not eating together; that was just watching her eat!

He would be lucky to get one bite of steamed bread.

He even doubted whether Chubby Girl’s family was going bankrupt.

Otherwise, why would she say that?

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Zhouzhou sighed in relief, blowing a bubble with her nose and looking at him foolishly. “That’s great!”

“Then I can play with you!”

Only boyfriends would lead to losing money!

Upon hearing this, Huo Ji’an stared at her blankly.

Why did Chubby Girl look so silly today?
