Chapter 296: He Is Even More Ruthless Than Him

296. Chapter 296 He Is Even More Ruthless Than Him

Xiao Shitou and the others ignored Cheng Jinyu because earlier he insulted Qiao Sheng, and they all heard it.

"Can't you hear us?"

Cheng Jinyu shouted in anger.

An Liu came over holding a plate of grilled lamb skewers; he gave five skewers to An Shi, and took the rest to a corner to eat.

He had never found the days as a Dark Guard so leisurely; no missions, no killing, just looking after the kids.

Whenever they wanted something, they could just take it.

An Shi ate one skewer, and just as he was about to take a second, he saw Cheng Jinyu spring up from where he stood.

Cheng Jinyu was indeed hanging from a tree, but his feet were on the ground, only his hands were lifted.

An Shi thought for a moment, then walked over holding a grilled lamb skewer.

An Liu, thinking he was going to feed Cheng Jinyu, stood up and shouted, "An Shi, what are you doing!"

"I'm just letting him smell it."

An Shi thought to himself, he can't give it to him to eat, but he can let him smell it, right?

An Liu: "..."

He is even more ruthless than him.

Sniffing the drifting aroma and staring at the golden grilled lamb skewers before him, Cheng Jinyu finally couldn't hold back: "Can't I write? Can't I do my homework?"

Shi Jin's expression froze.

He stepped forward and said, "What are you writing? Let me tell you, if you write today, you'll have to write tomorrow. From now on you'll have to write every day—how miserable. You might as well stop writing; it's just a bit of food, right? Why are you so spineless?"

If he eats, wouldn't that mean he'll eat less?

That can't be allowed!

"Exactly, exactly."

Shi Yun's mouth was puffed out from eating, and he almost choked on his words.

Shi Ren ate less crudely than Shi Yun, but not slowly at all; while they were talking, he had already finished two pumpkin meatballs and two sweet potato meatballs.

Xiao Shitou, who holds grudges, spoke up: "You insulted my mother first; you must apologize to my mother, otherwise, even if you do the homework, I won't give you anything to eat."

Before Cheng Jinyu could say anything.

Xiao Shitou continued: "You can't even finish your own studies and homework, yet you want others to tell you what to do."

"I..."

Cheng Jinyu's face flushed red from Xiao Shitou's words; he wanted to retort but at that moment didn't know what to say.

Shi Yun opened his mouth and said, "Exactly, it's shameless. Aunt Qiao is only looking out for you, and you still scold her. Let's not give him any of this food; let's eat it ourselves quickly."

He wasn't just talking; he truly didn't want Cheng Jinyu to eat.

"Eat!"

Seeing Cheng Jinyu remain silent, Xiao Shitou divided all the food.

Cheng Jinyu, don't be too angry; his eyes were reddened with anger, and from then on he didn't say again that he wanted to do homework, nor said anything else, nor caused any more commotion.

Xiao Shitou and the others, after eating their fill, went to do their homework, each ignoring him.

Time passed little by little.

The sky gradually darkened.

An Liu went to help light the lanterns, leaving only An Shi Yi to guard Cheng Jinyu.

He lit the lanterns and returned.

An Liu glanced at Cheng Jinyu, lowered his voice and asked An Shi, "Is he still showing no reaction?"

An Shi nodded.

An Liu walked over: "You silly kid, is apologizing that hard? Is doing homework that hard?"

"Mind your own business!"

Cheng Jinyu's throat was now dry and hoarse, and his speech was hardly clear.

An Liu had given up on him; he had thought Shi Jin was difficult to handle, but he hadn't expected this little brat to be even harder.

"We gave you a chance, and you didn't cherish it, so you can't blame us. An Shi, go; while he's hanging here, we'll go ahead and take a walk."
