"Wen Ling, you big idiot! Why did you have to call Uncle? Now you've embarrassed yourself terribly! How humiliating! That kid saw your body! Waa waa waa... I'm so ashamed... waa waa waa... so embarrassing..."
A few minutes later, she peeked out, tilted her head, and muttered to herself, "What am I afraid of? I've seen his body too, hehe. I know what he looks like! Ha ha, it's not that bad..."
That perverted uncle had an amazing body!
The muscles on his abdomen, count them, six in a row, were incredibly tempting!
Wen Ling quickly chased away her fantasies about Bai Haonan, looked at her new phone, and lamented, "This new phone is a disaster! But that bad uncle has seen many women's bodies. He'll forget about it soon. Good thing he didn't record it; otherwise, we'd have a scandal on our hands."
If A-Qi encountered Wen Ling, he'd probably lose his job.
To her surprise, a few minutes later, Bai Haonan, who usually texted slowly, sent a text with astonishing speed:
"Really will dream about you tonight. Not just comforting you, you're really full-figured. I'll bring you a British brand bra when I get back."
"Ahhhhhh... Big jerk! I'm going to go crazy!"
Bai Haonan hung up the phone, paused for half a minute, and suddenly turned around, startling Luo Yuan.
His face was full of intoxicated smiles. "Luo Yuan, push back some of the engagements tonight. We'll go shopping at the mall."
"Eh... Ah! Shopping?"
Did he hear that right?
Was his boss going to go shopping like a woman? To buy things?
Luo Yuan dug his ears, stunned.
Liao Kai's mother tugged at Liao Kai. "A-Kai, go inside. Stay with Li Qing. She needs you now."
Liao Kai sighed, looked at his mother, and reluctantly entered the ward.
"Li Qing... how could you be so foolish? Don't do something like that again."
She had slit her wrists.
Li Qing cried, her eyes swollen, and stretched out her hand, the bandage around it strikingly visible. She held onto Liao Kai's hand. "A-Kai, you won't leave me, will you?"
"I..." Liao Kai bit his lip, troubled.
"A-Kai, because of me, my family has suffered three years of crop failure. My father was so angry he was hospitalized. I have nothing left, except for you, A-Kai. Please don't leave me, okay? I really love you."
Liao Kai nodded. "Sleep a little. Don't think too much. I won't leave you."
Li Qing shed more tears, gazing deeply at Liao Kai.
In Liao Kai's pocket, his phone had a partially written text that he hadn't sent yet:
"Ling, I still love you. I was forced by my mom to engage with Li Qing. Wait for me for one year, just one year..."
Sometimes, missing one opportunity means missing a lifetime.
Wen Ling and Su Ou ran frantically down the road.
"Cool Water! Why didn't you wake me up this morning? Didn't you know I sleep heavily when cuddling with Xiao Mi Li? If Teacher Wen Xuan knocks my head today, I'm plucking all your hair out!"
Pant pant... Su Ou panted heavily, carrying the dog and running.
And Wen Ling, despite her short stature, wasn't running slowly this time, fearing Teacher Wen Xuan's punishment. Her long hair fluttered, and her beige bag slapped against her bottom.
"Sis, it's not my fault. I had nightmares all night. Waa waa, I dreamed that everyone in the world was watching me sleep naked..."
All thanks to that perverted uncle...
They didn't notice a luxurious car parked by the roadside. A dignified woman, looking no more than thirty-something, emerged. She was well-preserved and dressed in expensive, elegant clothing.
The wealthy woman took off her brown sunglasses and watched the two girls run past, a mysterious smile on her face.
"Ah, it's been so many years since I've been back. There seem to be many changes."
A skinny man adjusted his glasses and flattered with a smile. "Yes, Madam, there have indeed been significant changes domestically."
The wealthy woman smiled gently, her fox-like eyes still captivating. "Hehe, have you confirmed it? Is it that child?"
"Yes, Madam, it's her."
"So, have you investigated her character? Can we use her?"
The skinny man said confidently. "She's very kind and innocent, definitely easy to manipulate."
"Hmm, so it seems our chance to turn the tables has arrived?"
"I wish you success in advance, Madam... Gag gag..."
"Hehe... I never thought I'd have a chance after all these years..."
The mistress and servant laughed wildly together.
Lian Kang sat in a car far away, holding binoculars, and smirked.
"Sure enough, a sneaky old cat. As soon as I leaked the news, she couldn't wait to return. Looks like the show is about to begin."
"It's time, Boss. We should go to Han Steam now..."
The venomous smile on Lian Kang's face vanished. Thinking about treating his erectile dysfunction at Han Steam made his eyes cold, and he gritted his teeth. "Bai Haonan! I'll rip out your heart!"
The provincial television station and several film companies were collaborating to hold a talent audition evening at Ningbei University. Each department was to select the two most outstanding programs to participate in the school-wide selection. From there, the top two programs would compete in a city-wide competition.
"Hey, Cool Water, this is a rare opportunity! The winner of the city-wide competition gets to participate in the filming of 'Rain of Love'! They play a supporting role in a singing band! Cool Water, you should sign up! What a great opportunity!"
Su Ou excitedly pushed Wen Ling.
Cool Water's singing was top-notch. Although she hadn't undergone professional training, her voice moved people whenever she opened her mouth.
Talent!
Su Ou had once praised Cool Water, saying her voice was born to sing.
Unfortunately, someone like her had chosen Chinese literature as her major.
Wen Ling tilted her head and reviewed the poster on the bulletin board again, pouted, and shook her head. "Mm, I'm not interested. It would interfere with my part-time job."
It was better to sing at Jin Di. She made good money fast. What was the point of participating in this audition? It wouldn't earn her any money to support her family, and she might not even make it past the first round. Too boring.
Su Ou yelled in frustration. "Cool Water! You lack ambition! If you participate, you'll definitely win first place!"
"Oh, who's talking big? Do you think your mouth is just for bragging? Listen, you country ducks, go find somewhere cooler. A bunch of Chinese literature students think they can sing on stage? Do you take us art students for granted? Stop standing here and embarrassing yourselves! Scram!"
"Seriously, with us music students around, it's our turn to speak, not yours. It's not like you're going to moan on stage, thinking you can just open your mouths, right?"
"Hahaha..."
Three or four tall girls mocked Wen Ling and Su Ou, turning Su Ou's face alternately green and white with anger.
She handed the dog to Wen Ling, clenched her fists, grabbed one of the music students by her shirt, and leaned in with glaring eyes. "Say that again? I'll hit you first!"
"Bitch! Want to die?"
A male student cursed. Then, Wen Ling watched in horror as Su Ou flew backward like a piece of paper, landing painfully on the ground, covered in dust.
A guy who was nearly six feet tall clapped his hands. "Filthy woman! Don't touch my girlfriend! One more time, and I'll flatten you!"
Whoa... his size was like a wall, truly terrifying.
"Ou Ou! Are you okay?"
Wen Ling ran over and helped Su Ou up. Damn, that guy was too despicable, actually hitting Su Ou and making her mouth bleed.
"Why did you hit her? Just because you're tall and big, you bully girls? Quickly take Su Ou to the hospital!"
Several music students laughed triumphantly. "Hahaha, if you have the ability, find a capable man too! Still dreaming of signing up for the auditions and competing with us?"
Su Ou's mouth bled as she said, "My Cool Water sings better than you! You bunch of sluts!"
"Sis! She's insulting us!" A girl immediately hugged the giant's arm and cooed, her voice sickeningly sweet.
The giant rolled up his sleeves and approached Su Ou and Wen Ling. By the look on his face, he was going to crush them.
Wen Ling was frightened. If she couldn't beat them, could she at least run away?
She tugged at Su Ou. "Ou Ou, let's go."
Su Ou's eyelids twitched in alarm. Damn, if that six-foot-tall giant fell over, she and Wen Ling would be flattened like sheets.
"Run!" Su Ou yelled, ignoring the blood on her face, and pulled Wen Ling away.
Under the shade of a tree, Su Ou placed Xiao Mi Li on her lap and stroked its fur. "Xiao Mi Li, you need to be good from now on. Remember to avoid big dogs, or you'll end up like your sister, getting the short end of the stick."
"Don't talk. I'm applying medicine to your wound. If you move, I'll miss."
Wen Ling felt awful.
"Damn it, I'm going to take revenge! Tomorrow, I'll spend all my pocket money and hire gangsters to beat that gorilla into a pulp! Damn, he almost knocked my teeth out."
Wen Ling's eyes welled up with tears. After grunting for a moment, she said hatefully, "I'm signing up!"
"Huh?" Su Ou didn't understand Wen Ling's words.
"I'm signing up for the auditions! I'll beat those bitches! For you, Ou Ou, I'm going to challenge them!"
Su Ou's eyes widened. It took her a while to say, "Cool Water, can you handle it? You still have performances in the evenings. Do you have time to rehearse a program?"
"Afternoon self-study sessions will be for rehearsal... Hey? Ou Ou, you wet yourself!"
Pointing at Su Ou's jeans.
Wet herself?! Impossible! She wasn't seventy or eighty!
Su Ou looked down. Damn, sure enough, there was a urine stain on her jeans.
"Wah wah wah, you little bastard Xiao Mi Li! How dare you pee on my pants! Deserves a beating!"
Wen Ling giggled, then winked mischievously. "Hey? Ou Ou, do you think Xiao Mi Li is male or female?"
Su Ou frowned. "I don't know either."
Wen Ling hatched a naughty plan. "Flip Xiao Mi Li over and check its butt. See if it's male or female..."
Someone behind them was sweating profusely.
Turns out girls could be just as perverted too.
