Chapter 147: Young Master Doesn't Disdain You, Yet You Disdain Me

Shi Lin happened to arrive just in time to see this scene; he flew down into the courtyard and asked, "Xiao Shitou, Shi Jin, what's this—hey, where did this child come from?"

They didn't speak to him, each returning to their own rooms.

Soon after.

Xiao Shitou's voice came from a side room: "Shi Shushu, we're going to sleep; come early tomorrow. My mother will tell us a story, it's really nice."

"It's San Shu; if there's anything, please come early tomorrow."

Shi Jin said.

Qiao Sheng: "……"

These two brats!

Aren't you afraid she won't tell them a story?

Shi Lin raised an eyebrow, walked into the room where Qiao Sheng lived, and said: "Where did this child come from? Who is he? What story did Xiao Shitou talk about?"

"Want to know? I'm not telling you!"

Qiao Sheng went to pour water to drink.

She had just poured it and was about to lift it.

Shi Lin took the bowl before she could, gulping it down completely.

Earlier he stole her bed, now he's stealing her water.

Do they think she's easy to bully?

Qiao Sheng lifted her foot and kicked toward Shi Lin's weak spot.

Shi Lin sidestepped to avoid it and said: "You woman, it's just a bowl of water I took—do you have to be so vicious? If I'm ruined, will you compensate me for my happiness in the next life?"

"As for that."

Qiao Sheng replied confidently.

"If you want water, can't you pour it yourself? You just grab it and drink—do you think I'm your maid?"

Shi Lin picked up the teapot and poured a bowl for Qiao Sheng: "Here, I'll compensate you."

"He's giving her the bowl he drank from—isn't that an indirect kiss?"

Qiao Sheng bluntly said: "I don't want the bowl you drank from."

This little girl!

Shi Lin looked at Qiao Sheng and said: "Young Master doesn't despise you, yet you despise me? Fine, fine, I'll get you a new bowl and pour water—wait, I'm going to get it now."

He had just stepped out with his front foot.

Qiao Sheng slammed the room door shut.

Shi Lin's steps halted, he turned and shouted: "Qiao Sheng, do you have to be so petty? Just because I took your water, you treat me like this? Didn't I already say I'd get you a new bowl?"

His voice wasn't small.

Xiao Shitou and the others all heard it.

Qiao Sheng also realized this, she quickly walked to the door and flung it open: "Shut up, you're waking Xiao Shitou and them; if they can't get up tomorrow, you'll take them to school!"

She just couldn't understand why he kept provoking her.

Could it be just because she treated him that way before?

If she had known it would be like this, she wouldn't have saved him and brought him back to the Mountain God Temple in the first place.

Shi Lin lowered his voice: "I haven't forgotten; can't I keep my voice down? If you're busy tomorrow, you can go first; tonight I'll stay at your place, and I'll send them off early tomorrow morning."

"Fine, you send them, I'm going to sleep."

Qiao Sheng closed the door in Shi Lin's face.

After thinking.

Qiao Sheng also closed the window.

Shi Lin heard the sounds from inside, feeling inexplicably heavy-hearted—what's wrong with him, that Qiao Sheng doesn't even want to talk to him.

It was just then.

Xiao Shitou gently pulled open the door, his head peeking out: "Shi Shushu..."

"Hmm?"

Shi Lin's gaze fell directly onto Xiao Shitou's head.

Xiao Shitou said softly: "My mother has prepared several rooms; besides the ones we sleep in, the other rooms can also be used for sleeping—just pick any. By the way, there's some warm water in the kitchen; you can wash up a bit."

"Good!"

Shi Lin's heart warmed involuntarily.

It wasn't in vain that he doted on him.

He's much better than his own nephew.

Qiao Sheng: "……"

Does she pretend she can't hear?
