Chapter 535 Warmth
"Can I ask what exactly you are planning to pull off here?" Jiang Zhen asked as Lihua returned in the evening.
He signaled Shen Yang if there was any suspicious action from Chang Fang, but there was none.
Lihua sneered. "Why are you asking? Are you scared?"
Jiang Zhen chuckled. "As if I would be scared of you talking to a lone, fat teenager."
Her gaze clouded in anger, but only smiled. "And she would be the start of your downfall."
He shrugged. "Well whatever. Come here and play Ludo with me."
She was dumbfounded. "Are you an idiot? Why will I play Ludo with you?"
"Because I am bored," he yawned. "I need some entertainment."
Qingqing hissed.
Should I entertain you with my paws?
"Find someone else!"
He smiled. "Well dear, you have only two options. Either play Ludo with me or I can take you to my bedroom to have some fun of my own."
A chilly aura emanated from her. "Jiang Zhen!
"What? Not like you would be able to stop me either~"
Jiang Hua froze.
Her husband was talking about getting intimate with another woman right in front of her…
She clenched her fists.
Lihua exclaimed. "Your wife and son are in front of you! Don\'t you feel a little bit guilty?" Ruru hid behind Lihua and lowered his head.
"Why would I? Her job is done."
"Huh?"
"Her job of giving me a son."
Her face blackened. Jiang Hua bit her lip hard.
"Why should I waste my time with the same woman?"
Lihua\'s palms were itching to slap him hard. She was so angry that she would shoot him right on the spot if she had a gun with her.
Jiang Zhen spread the Ludo board on the table. "Let\'s play. I want to test my luck with you," he chuckled. "Are you really so lucky? Or are you interested in me touching you-"
Lihua grudgingly sat in front of him. "You should be careful, Jiang Zhen. I am indeed very lucky. But that luck is only for me. My good luck is bad luck for you. Whether it be Ludo or this war. You are going to lose miserably."
He laughed. "Well, let\'s see~"

In her room, Xiao Jian opened a small medicine box. But as she shook it, nothing came out of it.
She bit her lip.
Ugh…the dose is over. I need to buy some more from Z.
Z was a boy in her high school who secretly supplied drugs. How he had drugs with him, nobody knew.
But Xiao Jian had used up all of her allowance. It was still time to get her next monthly allowance.
She already turned fidgety and anxious.
I cannot wait till my next allowance. Should I lie to Mom and Dad?
Her head started to ache. Not seeing the powder in the small medicine box anymore made her even more anxious. She paced back and forth in her room unable to concentrate.
\'If you ever get conscious thinking about yourself or your high school life, then just do what you like doing. Hehe. I always play with Qingqing whenever I am anxious.\'
Qingqing had fiercely hissed at that.
\'*cough* Everybody has something they love doing in their free time. So instead of worrying about your future, spend that time with your hobby.\'
She remembered Lihua saying it today.
What I like to do…
I like watching anime but…
Ever since it was accidentally exposed that she liked anime, her classmates teased her for being a nerd. They laughed at her for liking such nerdy stuff. Since then, Xiao Jian had completely stopped it even when she was alone. She was afraid if her brother or parents found out, they would laugh at her too.
Xiao Jian opened her laptop in frustration. Since she didn\'t have drugs to calm her down, she had to do something or she thought she would go crazy.
Opening an anime site, she began watching. A while later, her little brother, who was ten years old, stepped into her room.
"Sis!"
She stiffened and shut her laptop. Her heart raced. "J-Jiao…what are you doing here?"
"Sis, let\'s play!" He chirped.
She was relieved. "Not now Jiao. I am-"
"Sis, what were you watching?" He beamed. "I wanna watch it too!"
She stiffened. "No…I-I was just studying…"
"With earphones?"
"O-Of course! I was watching a tutorial."
"Liar, liar. Pants on the fire!" He laughed. "You always play with your palms like that whenever you lie."
She immediately stopped doing that. "I…"
Xiao Jiao giggled and opened her laptop.
She widened her eyes. "Jiao! Stop it!"
"Sis…" he was shocked. "You watch anime?"
She anxiously bit her lip. "P-please don\'t tell it to-"
"Why you not tell me before! I like Naruto too!"
"...Huh?"
"What huh? I always watch Naruto on your phone!"
She was dumbfounded. "Y-you do?"
"Did you not ever see your browser history?" He furrowed his brows.
She felt embarrassed. "Not really…"
"Hmph! I have watched so many anime! If sis liked to watch anime too, we would have watched together!" He heavily pursed his lips, feeling extremely aggrieved. "I am your brother, but you not tell me!"
"W-wait wait! You really like them so much?"
"Yes!"
"Don\'t your friends make fun of you?"
He frowned. "Some do. They all wanna act like they are grown ups. They say anime is for children. We are ten years old so we should like mature stuff."
"Oh…and?"
"And? Nothing and. I like anime. What it is to do with them? Shin in my class likes to draw, but I don\'t. I don\'t want to draw because he likes it. I like anime, so I like anime. Hah, and what children?" He beamed as if he was telling a great secret to her, "Don\'t tell this to anyone, but I saw my teacher Mrs. Wang watching Bleach during her break," he giggled.
She blinked rapidly. "Your teacher?"
"Yes! She is an adult and she can watch anime so why not I?" He harrumphed. "Idiots. Sis, sis! Let\'s continue watching! Which episode are you on? Tsk. You are so lagging behind. Let\'s change the anime that we can watch together."
Xiao Jian was in a daze. She really thought he would laugh at her but here he was sitting on her lap and sharing her hobby with her. She felt warm in her chest.
Why didn\'t I know about this before? I am such an idiot.
