Did You Get Beaten? Yes (1)
After meeting the Liang father and daughter pair at Yu Qingshi’s house that weekend, Jiang Xiaoman hadn’t come to play with Yu Qingshi again.
When Yu Qingshi went to her to ask, she said that she was feeling sad, and needed some quiet time alone.
“Don’t be sad.” Yu Qingshi said. “Didn’t I help you scold them until they went back? My Dad said that he would never let them come to my house again in the future.”
He thought Jiang Xiaoman was afraid that she would meet Liang Yuanqing and his daughter again.
Jiang Xiaoman shook her head and said sorrowfully, “You’re still young, you don’t understand my sorrow.”
“…” At that moment, Yu Qingshi felt the urge to turn around and leave. Jiang Xiaoman was always capable of talking very irritatingly while putting up an innocent face.
But she was his good friend after all, so he resisted the urge.
Yu Qingshi continued to comfort her. “I will help you if you encounter something similar in the future, so no one will wrong you.”
Jiang Xiaoman still shook her head. She wiped her face; she felt very sad but didn’t want to cry.
She just wanted a good father.
Uncle Yu was very good, but he was Yu Qingshi’s father. If she took his father, then she would be a bad person. Yu Qingshi was already very pitiful and his father was the only thing he had. She couldn’t snatch him.
Jiang Xiaoman couldn’t find a father, so she didn’t want to go to his house. Because Uncle Yu was so kind, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to hold back.
Jiang Xiaoman sighed quietly, her face devoid of life. When she left, the silhouette of her back seemed to convey “I need some quiet time”.
Often, Yu Qingshi didn’t even understand what she was thinking, so naturally he couldn’t understand her dilemma either. But his good friend was in a bad mood, so he would try everything to make her happy again.
It was just that he was a kid who wasn’t good at speaking and didn’t know how to comfort others. He wasn’t like Jiang Xiaoman, who always said surprising things and wouldn’t stop until she reached her purpose.
After thinking about it, it seemed that only Miaomiao could solve this difficulty.
After all, Xiaoman always seemed to like Miaomiao very much whenever she came to his house. Miaomiao should still be able to attract her attention, right? Although it made him a little sad that he wasn’t as good as Miaomiao, it didn’t matter as long as she was happy. He was willing to use Miaomiao to coax her.
A few days later, he brought her a picture of Miaomiao.
Yu Qingshi said, “Miaomiao has been sterilized. Lately, it doesn’t have an appetite and only eats half a can of catfood. Usually, it would eat one can after another like its stomach was a bottomless hole. Look at its head. My dad said that it needed to wear a cone so it won’t lick its wounds.”
The Miaomiao in the picture was wearing a small cone around its neck. Its hair was orange and it kept dozing off. Its head looked like a small orange ball of fur, and at first glance, it looked similar to a sunflower in full bloom.
Miaomiao’s head was drooping down. Its face was unhappy, and it looked as if life had no more meaning.
So cute!
Miaomiao, how could it be so cute!
How could there be such a cute cat!
Jiang Xiaoman couldn’t help but smile, and grumbled, “Miaomiao is getting fatter and fatter.”
“Well, I like to take it on a walk after a meal nowadays.” Yu Qingshi spoke while the iron was hot. He hesitated and said, “Miaomiao seems to miss you, do you want to come to my house?”
Jiang Xiaoman was a little tempted. After all, she hasn’t played with the Miaomiao-with-a-cone yet.
But…
After hesitating for a while, Jiang Xiaoman said, “No, I can just give Fragrance a cone when I get home. I’m sure it would be cute with one too.”
She had never thought about dressing Fragrance up or giving it hats before. Right now, it felt as if a new world was opened in front of her. If Fragrance could be so cute as well, she would definitely like it even more.
“…that might not be possible.” Yu Qingshi disagreed without thinking. After all, they were of two different species and looked completely different. Fragrance body was so round, would the cone even fit?
His family’s Miaomiao was already using the biggest cone but it was still very tight. Yu Qingshi couldn’t imagine what cone could be used for Fragrance.
He continued to invite her sincerely, “If you want to put a cone on Fragrance, I have a few others at home that I can lend you.”
“It’s ok, I’ll just make one myself.” Jiang Xiaoman said. “The cone looks like Grandma’s straw hat.”
She didn’t learn handicrafts for nothing.
Inviting her several times without success, Yu Qingshi could only sigh helplessly.
After thinking about it for a while, he said sincerely, “Just come to my house and take it, otherwise you might get spanked. Or I can bring you one tomorrow.”
Jiang Xiaoman put her arms on her hips and snorted. She said smugly, “No way, Grandma really loves me, not like Dad at all. As long as I’m not naughty, she wouldn’t spank me. Grandma said that she would spank me at most once a day. If children are spanked too much, they will be broken.”
“Well, alright.” Yu Qingshi didn’t force her.
