Chapter 143
**t/n: drinking vinegar -- jealous
“Not only that, but that day he also gave me some snacks and even told me that I couldn’t eat the stuff given by other boys.”
Xie Xinglin’s eyelashes trembled and then asked with the words dragged out, “......drinking vinegar?”
Pei An’an nodded, “It’s just a boy not being able to bear seeing the girl he likes eating other boy’s food. This is drinking vinegar.”
Xie Xinglin didn’t respond, and the expression on his face became thoughtful.
In response to this, Pei An’an said, “But Big Brother, you definitely won’t understand this feeling. You don’t have a girl that you like.”
She spoke halfway when she caught a glimpse of a girl walking towards them out of her peripheral vision. That girl’s gaze fell on Xie Xinglin and she asked with a smile, “Little Brother, are you also here to pick up a child from school?”
**t/n: once again, the ‘brother’ here directly translates to big brother, but there is a ‘little’ in front of the big brother, translating directly to little [big] brother, which is a Chinese internet slang for a young man about one’s own age or a little bit older
Xie Xinglin was still looking down, deep in thought. When he heard someone’s question, he casually raised his eyes and looked at her.
When the girl saw him up close, her complexion became even redder. She very slowly handed him her phone and shared her true purpose, “Little Brother, can you give me your WeChat?”
This wasn’t the first time Pei An’an had encountered this type of situation. After all, she knew from a young age that her brother grew well and often attracted bees and butterflies.
She used to be afraid of strangers when encountering them, but now she felt that she’s grown up and needed to help her brother out with some things. She whispered, “My brother seems to already have a girlfriend.”
The girl blinked and when she noticed that Xie Xinglin didn’t speak, she bent over and said to Pei An’an, “Little friend, you also know what a girlfriend is?”
Pei An’an usually wasn’t someone that easily became familiar with others, so when she saw the girl bend over to talk to her, and even tried to reach out and touch her head, she immediately took a step back. The girl’s hand only touched air and she put it back in embarrassment.
When she caught a glimpse of the boy’s cold expression, she thought in her heart that this little child was probably a breakthrough.
After all, the moment she decided to ask for his WeChat, she had already thrown caution to the wind.
So she didn’t give up, but continued to smile and said, “Little friend, you probably don’t know what a girlfriend is. Who knows, maybe your big brother doesn’t have a girlfriend yet.”
At this moment, Xie Xinglin, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up.
He lightly said, “Sorry, but I do have one.”
The girl was taken aback and saw Xie Xinglin take a pink hair tie out of his pocket. Then he directly put it on his own wrist right in front of her.
The girl’s expression became even more embarrassed and she murmured, “Then add a WeChat…..just think of it as making one more friend…...”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xie Xinglin fiddling with the little yellow stars on the pink hair tie. He said neither too fast or slow, “She likes to drink vinegar and doesn’t allow me to talk to other girls.”
“If she finds out about it, she’ll lose her temper.”
As soon as he finished, Xie XInglin took a step forward and passed by the girl.
Pei An’an was stunned for a moment, then immediately followed. She pulled Xie Xinglin’s sleeve and asked, “Big Brother, do you really have a girlfriend?”
Xie Xinglin swept a glance at her and then slowly said, “No.”
Pei An’an didn’t believe it and pointed to the little hair tie on his hand, she said, “Nonsense, I heard that girls who have boyfriends would gift them their hair ties. This will show others that the boy is taken and hers, so other girls will not hit on him.”
Xie Xinglin lowered his eyes to look at the pink hair tie on his hand and recalled what Su Qiuge had said to him yesterday —— “Use this to tie it up.”
Tsk, unfortunately she’s a strange one.
Xie Xinglin raised his eyebrows, “Not necessarily.”
Pei An’an heard him and unwillingly stomped her feet, “What “not necessarily?” She already gave you her hair tie, who cares if she’s willing or not. She’s been captured by you, she can’t escape even if she wants to!”
Xie Xinglin lightly curled his lips when he heard her words.
Tsk.
It had to be said.
That somewhat made sense.
