A stupid challenge from Wen Xiang, and Xue Tian had high pride that didn't want to lose to the black-haired man.
In the end, he even asked his sister to give him the 'sambal' to show off that he could eat spicy food better than Wen Xiang. Summer Xue could only comply with the wish because her brother didn't let her eat spicy food.
The two men ate the food eagerly along with the spicy 'sambal,' but Xue Tian didn't forget to eat the 'kerupuk' together with the porridge and the 'sambal.' Even when both men finished the food, none of them was beaten by the 'sambal.'
"It's not spicy at all," Wen Xiang stated arrogantly before grabbing a glass of water and sipping it elegantly.
"You are right," Xue Tian agreed with the man. "The 'sambal' is for general people, so it's not spicy at all. But if you want to continue our battle, I know a place that serves spicy food based on our request."
Xue Tian looked so eager when he voiced the idea, but then he could hear the sound of a fake cough coming from the other side of the table.
"You need to send me to school first before you can continue your stupid battle, brother."
Xue Tian gasped after hearing the little girl's statement. He looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, and he slapped his forehead with his palm.
"It's time to go to school, Summie. Let's go," the pinkette got up from his seat and ran toward his sister and immediately grabbed his sister's hand.
Wen Xiang could only shake his head when he saw the pinkette's clumsy attitude. However, he chose to remain silent and just followed the siblings to leave the house.
After they arrived outside the house, Xue Tian locked the door before leading the two people to leave the house.
"Will you be okay to walk until we reach our car, Summie?" Xue Tian asked the little girl who was walking next to him, and the girl looked up at him.
"It's not the first time I have to walk until we reach our car, brother. You don't need to act so protectively every day," the girl answered lazily.
The siblings were engaged in a conversation, and Wen Xiang could only observe them silently from behind. Yes, the Xue siblings were walking in front of him, so he could only remain silent as he walked behind them.
Xue Tian was worried to let his sister walk for 300 meters, and Wen Xiang was curious about the girl's disease. Summer Xue just now said that her brother was acting protectively every day, so Wen Xiang guessed that the girl's disease was not just a usual disease.
'He also said that Summer won't live long, so the disease must be a terminal disease, right?' Wen Xiang wondered inwardly as he continued walking behind the two people.
But he then shook his head firmly because that was none of his business. He just wanted to escape Black Lotus, and he shouldn't think about other people's business.
After walking for a few minutes, they finally arrived at the white sedan that was parked in front of a house, and the elderly lady from yesterday was there again.
"Pagi, Mbah Siti (trans: Morning, Grandma Siti)," Xue Tian greeted the elderly lady politely.
The elderly lady smiled at him before bringing her gaze to the little Summer. "Summer sudah mau berangkat sekolah, ya? (trans: Summer will go to school, right?)" She questioned the little girl.
"Iya, mbah (trans: Yes, grandma)," the little girl replied politely.
"Summer pasti lebih senang di sekolah, kan? Kak Tian selalu sibuk sampai nggak pernah main sama Summer, kan? (trans: Summer is happier when you're in school, right? Brother Tian is always busy that he never plays with Summer, right?)" The elderly lady spoke again while glancing at the pink-haired man.
The pinkette awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck upon hearing the lady's words. "Kak Tian sibuk karena harus cari uang buat Summer, tapi sekarang Summer bakal punya teman main di rumah karena ada Kak Xiang (trans: Brother Tian is busy looking for money for Summer, but now Summer will have a friend at home because there's Brother Xiang)," he replied as he glimpsed at Wen Xiang.
Wen Xiang couldn't understand the conversation at all, so he could only remain silent. However, when Xue Tian suddenly glimpsed him, he could tell that they were talking about him now.
"Ah, namanya kok Kak Siang, sih? Nanti kalau kenalan sama anak-anak di sini, bisa diejekin sama mereka lho (trans: Ah, why is his name Brother Siang? Later if he introduces himself to the kids here, he probably will be teased by them)," the elderly lady spoke again.
Xue Tian widened his eyes because he just realized that thing. That was kind of funny, so he laughed out loud while glancing at the taller man.
Wen Xiang was sure that Xue Tian was mocking him now, but he could only frown because he didn't understand why the pinkette suddenly laughed at him.
"Kita harus berangkat sekarang, mbah. Nanti lagi ya kita ngobrolnya? (trans: We gotta go now, Grandma. We will chat again later, alright?)" Xue Tian spoke to the lady again after he stopped laughing.
The elderly lady nodded while smiling, and Xue Tian motioned to Wen Xiang and Summer Xue to get into the car. Summer Xue was sitting in the back seat, while Wen Xiang sat in the passenger seat beside Xue Tian.
The three people in the car fastened their seatbelts, and Xue Tian had turned on the engine as well.
"Why were you laughing at me just now?"
Xue Tian just started driving, but he already got a question from the man who was sitting beside him.
Glancing at the man, Xue Tian smiled a little as he answered, "I just realized that you have a funny name."
Wen Xiang frowned at the pinkette. "You know that my name means 'flying.' What's so funny about that?"
