Chapter 44 - 044: At a loss

When Wang Xuehua heard this, she immediately laughed out loud. Then, she put her younger daughter down and nodded at her elder daughter's head, saying, "You, who taught you this?"

"Alright, take good care of my younger sister. I'll go out and see what's going on."

When Fang Fang heard this, she stuck out her tongue and began to coax her younger sister.

Wang Xuehua was in the courtyard and saw Lu Yichen laughing through the fence. She could not help but be stunned. However, just as she was about to turn around and come back, she was seen by Lu Yichen.

It would not be good if she turned around and left at this time. Therefore, she braced herself and asked, "Unit Lu, what happened to Sister Xiaoqiao? Is she alright?"

Lu Yichen had already stopped smiling. He clenched his fist into an empty fist and placed it on his chin. He coughed twice and looked at Kang Xiaoqiao who was frantically washing her face and hair. He turned around and said to Wang Xuehua, "Ahem, ahem, it's fine. Sister-in-law Wang, it's fine."

"We didn't scare the children, right?"

Wang Xuehua was smart. She smiled and nodded. "It's good that they're fine. The children are all fine. They're very brave."

"Since you're alright, I'll go back to my room to eat. Call me if there's anything."

Wang Xuehua tactfully went back to her room to continue eating. Kang Xiaoqiao was so angry that she was about to cry after washing herself. She sat there looking as pitiful as she could be. She even glared at Lu Yichen from time to time.

Seeing this, Lu Yichen was in a good mood for no reason. He then lifted his feet and entered the room. He stared at Kang Xiaoqiao without saying a word. At this moment, Kang Xiaoqiao had the urge to die.

Who the f*ck told her why there was fire in this pit? Why? Why?

Why?

She, Kang Xiaoqiao, had lived for 28 years and had never been in such a sorry state. However, ever since she came here for no reason, she had been despised and targeted by others. Who had she ever been afraid of?

But why? Why was even fire bullying her?

Was she that easy to bully? Ah?

The more Kang Xiaoqiao thought about it, the sadder she became. When she was sad, she couldn't help but feel sad from the bottom of her heart. With a cry, all her grievances were vented out.

Meanwhile, a certain someone who was still watching the joke was stunned when he saw Kang Xiaoqiao crying so sadly. She didn't care about her image at all. Then, he frowned again.

She was fine just a moment ago. Why was she crying in the blink of an eye?

Lu Yichen expressed that he didn't understand. However, this girl's crying was too loud. If this continued, who knows what would happen. Therefore, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward. He sat beside Kang Xiaoqiao and leaned forward.

He thought that he used a gentler tone and said, "Don't cry. Why are you crying?"

Lu Yichen originally wanted to comfort Kang Xiaoqiao, but he was used to speaking tough in the ministry. This comforting sentence had changed from his words.

Kang Xiaoqiao was already sad, so she became even angrier when she heard Lu Yichen's words. She couldn't help but cry and yell, "If I'm willing to cry, I'll cry. What does it have to do with you? Ah--"

When Lu Yichen heard that, his head buzzed. He frowned and said in a bad tone, "Don't cry."

When Kang Xiaoqiao heard that, she widened her eyes. There were tears on her long eyelashes. Her crystal clear eyes looked as if they had just been washed, but she didn't show any fear as she yelled, "I'll cry, I'll cry, ah-- Ah--"

Then, her tears fell down like a pitter-patter. As she cried, Kang Xiaoqiao said, "They're all bullying me. Wu, they're all bullying me. When others bully me, you bully me too. Even this fire is bullying me. Wu--"

"What have I done to deserve this?"

"Wu, I just want to eat a piece of meat? I have not eaten for a long time. It's so hard! Wu..."

To be honest, Kang Xiaoqiao was not a crybaby. There was no such word in her dictionary because she knew from a young age that tears could not save her. Therefore, she could only be more diligent, harder, tougher and more ruthless than others in order to live a good life.

However, for some unknown reason or reason, she could not stop crying because of the influence of this young body. To her, this small matter was not a big blow. However, she did not know what she was wronged about. She just wanted to cry. She just could not help but want to cry.

Meanwhile, Lu Yichen saw that not only did Kang Xiaoqiao not stop, but she had become even worse. He could not help but frown.

He could carry a gun and fight. He was not afraid of life and death. He was not afraid of danger. However, he had never coaxed a little girl who was crying so sadly. This made him very helpless.

What he usually used in the ministry was completely useless against Kang Xiaoqiao. Now, even if he put on a straight face, he could not cure her. It was actually a fallacy.

Not to mention far away, just in the past few days, which one of them bullied her? Didn't they all let her fight back? And this fire... Lu Yichen could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he thought about it. She was from a farming family. Did she not know that there was such a thing as choking on fire?

The reason why the fire was on fire was probably directly related to this.

Thinking of the fire, he recalled the scene at the door just now. This girl squatted at the mouth of the stove and kept blowing air into it. Suddenly, a tongue of fire shot out. Not only did it burn her hair, but it also sprayed her face with black ash. It was quite cute.

At the same time, Kang Xiaoqiao's crying reminded him of his mother. In his limited memory, his mother also cried a lot back then. It was just that she cried silently. She didn't cry as freely as Kang Xiaoqiao.

Thinking of this, Lu Yichen softened his tone. At the same time, he took out a checkered handkerchief and handed it to her. "Don't cry. Wipe your eyes. It won't look good if you cry until they're swollen."

This was the most gentle thing he could think of, and this was when he watched her coax her sister.

When Kang Xiaoqiao heard this, she remembered her image. However, when she thought of her image, she felt even worse. She was in such a sorry state, but Lu Yichen caught her in the act. It was embarrassing. It was so embarrassing.

Thus, she snatched Lu Yichen's handkerchief and covered her face. She was really too ashamed to face anyone.

When Lu Yichen saw that Kang Xiaoqiao was showing signs of improvement, his tone was no longer as harsh as before. This girl was a stubborn donkey, so he had to stroke her fur.

Thus, he said in a gentler voice, "Alright, I want to eat meat too. Let me help you."

Hearing that, Kang Xiaoqiao immediately stopped crying. The handkerchief slowly moved down her face, revealing a pair of big eyes. She stared at Lu Yichen and said, "You can cook?"

Hearing that, Lu Yichen shook his head and said, "I can cook, roast meat and boiled meat..."

Hearing that, Kang Xiaoqiao immediately covered her face with the handkerchief and said, "Ah--"

Seeing that the girl was crying again, Lu Yichen couldn't help but frown and said, "Then what should I do? By the way, didn't you say that you can cook?"

Hearing this, Kang Xiaoqiao cried and said aggrievedly, "What's the use of me doing it? I don't know how to light a fire, wu--"
