Chapter 732 I was wrong, okay?
While He Lingling and Xu Han were bickering, the watermelon juice belonging to Feifei had already been delivered by a part-time player.
The bright red, translucent watermelon juice was served in a beautifully shaped transparent glass, garnished with a few bright green mint leaves, giving it a very refreshing look.
"Meow!"
Fatty almost immediately raised her head and rubbed the cup with her paw pads with a hint of demureness.
when--
Fatty tapped its paws lightly on the glass, then looked up and gestured to Yu Shijiu beside it.
Yu Shijiu was also attracted by the very pretty-looking watermelon juice. He exclaimed "Wow!" and smiled at the female player who brought it over.
"Thank you, sister. Your watermelon juice looks so good."
The female player, who had recognized Yu Shijiu's face—a face that had recently become famous throughout the town—was taken aback.
Her trembling hands and feet froze.
"Huh?" The female player swallowed hard, wiping her hands on the pink apron tied around her waist. "Well, it wasn't that difficult..."
The female player who said that wanted to slap herself twice—what did she mean by "what a hassle"?! She should have said thank you!
But the words had already been spoken, and the female player could only give up no matter how annoyed she was. Just as she was about to leave, she saw another man whose head was lowering lower and lower because of the rebuke suddenly look up.
"Let's have another Americano and latte with strawberries, both with full sugar!"
The female player nodded blankly: "...Okay, okay, it'll be done very soon."
"thank you."
Xu Han habitually thanked him, then lowered his head and muttered:
"I know, I know, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
These words caused He Lingling's expression to change.
Xu Han looked up in confusion when he didn't hear a response—and saw that the other person was clearly angry, with the corners of their mouth turned down.
I rely on.
Xu Han was shocked. Was admitting his mistake wrong? Should he continue to argue?!
Feeling uneasy, Xu Han immediately shut his mouth, looking at He Lingling who had suddenly fallen silent, and then cautiously glancing at Yu Shijiu on the other side.
Yu Shijiu was still studying the beautiful watermelon juice with Feifei. The two of them stared at and smelled the glass for a long time. In the end, Feifei couldn't resist opening its mouth and biting the mint leaf used as a garnish on the rim of the glass.
"Meow!"
The mint was instinctively crushed by Fatty, and the strange, cool taste startled Fatty so much that its bright green pupils widened and it started meowing loudly.
Yu Shijiu was a little confused: "What's wrong, Feifei? Is it not tasty?"
Fatty continued chewing the mint leaf in his mouth, his whiskers twitching, as if he actually quite liked it.
Seeing this, Yu Shijiu's heart also felt a little itchy, and she whispered, "Then give me the other piece?"
Fatty blinked and let out a soft meow.
—This means agreement.
Yu Shijiu excitedly went to get the remaining mint leaf.
Xu Han, who was watching from the sidelines: "..."
“…Um,” seeing Yu Shijiu about to eat the mint leaf, Xu Han couldn’t help but speak up, “Actually, these mint leaves are just for decoration…”
Most people probably wouldn't eat it...
"Ok?"
Yu Shijiu had already stuffed the mint leaf into his mouth and said somewhat blankly:
"Decoration? Is it because it's inedible?"
"...That's not the case."
Xu Han shook his head: "It's also very common to use mint leaves to make tea, desserts, or dishes."
This means being able to eat.
Yu Shijiu and Feifei chewed on the mint leaves in their mouths together and gave Xu Han an OK sign.
Xu Han: "..."
Xu Han was amused.
"Pfft-"
Xu Han, who had just chuckled, immediately covered her mouth and looked awkwardly at He Lingling, who had been silent since the beginning.
Yu Shijiu glanced up at them, then looked down and discussed with Feifei the important matter of whether he could also drink some watermelon juice.
"Fatty..."
“He Lingling…”
Seeing that He Lingling seemed to really not want to talk to him anymore, Xu Han felt inexplicably flustered.
"What would you like to drink? Anything is fine, it's all on me!"
He Lingling turned her head to look at him.
Seeing that He Lingling was finally looking at him, Xu Han quickly said:
"Oh dear, I was just joking. I never meant for you to actually beg me, did I? Sigh, it's my fault. How could I let you beg me—"
"Not because of this."
He Lingling suddenly interrupted Xu Han's rambling, "I'm not angry about this."
She was reminded of some unpleasant memories simply because Xu Han casually said, "I know, I know, I was wrong, I was wrong."
Because she was born blind—no, it seems she wasn't blind from the beginning. In He Lingling's limited memory, every time her mother and father argued, they would break down and use her blindness to escalate the argument.
The mother would cry and say, "If you hadn't gone out to play mahjong when Lingling had a high fever, how could she have gone blind from the fever?"
The father would then angrily roar: "What do you mean I went out to play mahjong and caused her to lose her sight? She's so young, she can't see anything anyway, okay? If you ask me, she's blind to begin with, she can't see anyway, and you're trying to pin this on me, huh?"
His mother completely broke down at his excuses: "Have you no shame? Have you no shame at all? The doctor said it! The doctor said it's because no adult was home to take Lingling to the hospital sooner that she went blind! You shameless beast, you don't even deserve to be a man..."
The woman's furious insults and the man's constant attempts to shirk responsibility clashed together, finally ending with the man's impatient shout.
"Okay, okay! I understand, alright?!"
The man sneered, "Isn't it just an attempt to pin the blame on me? Is it just a way to make me admit my mistake?"
"Fine! I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong! I was wrong, okay?!"
"But if you ask me, isn't it your fault? Why did you have to go to the company to work overtime today? Don't you know I don't know how to take care of children?"
The man's self-righteous demeanor completely enraged the woman. The mother could no longer bear his cold provocation and frantically picked up everything around her and threw it at him.
"You don't deserve it! People like you don't deserve to have children!"
"Damn it, if I want to have a baby, there are plenty of women out there willing to have one for me..."
"You shameless beast! How could you say such a thing?! That's your daughter! That's your daughter!!"
"..."
The sounds of the two arguing and smashing things in the living room seeped through the thin wooden door into the little girl's ears as she lay on the bed—like twisted, writhing, eerie syllables, drilling deep into her eardrums, making the blind girl cower under the covers and tremble uncontrollably.
Xu Han was still racking his brains for a reply when he saw He Lingling, who had been quiet, suddenly start convulsing for no apparent reason.
"He Lingling?!"
