The salty life in Life of Pi

Chapter 97 Salted Fish! You're touching me!
There was a sharp brake sound and everyone turned their eyes over.

The car door opened and Pei Yin hurriedly got out without closing the door. When he saw Qian Sanyi and Deng Xiaoqi, his face instantly became extremely ugly.

Qian Yukun got out of the driver's seat and closed the door. He couldn't help but frown when he saw his son with the girl.

A figure passed by him, and Pei Yin walked towards Qian Sanyi with anger. When he got in front of him, his hand was already raised high. But at this moment, Qian Sanyi spoke
"Mom, today is my birthday, my eighteenth birthday."

Pei Yin's hand stopped in mid-air, and the angry expression on his face turned into panic.

Qian Yukun, who was standing by and saw his ex-wife trying to take action, rushed over immediately. When he saw that the slap did not fall, he breathed a sigh of relief and forcefully pressed her hand down. He also heard what Qian Sanyi said, pursed his lips, and looked around, not daring to look at his son.

"I waited until the evening, and then Xiaoqi said she wanted to celebrate my birthday and we went out for dinner together."

Qian Sanyi's voice was flat, but Pei Yin felt like a hammer hitting his heart. He bit his lip, and his eyes lost their firmness and became panic-stricken.

"Mother Sanyi was busy and forgot about it. It's my fault, but you can't just ignore the phone. I almost called the police."

When Qian Yukun thought of this, he took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Hey, Captain Wang, it's me, Qian Yukun. I'm sorry. My son has been found and there's been some conflict with his family. I'm really sorry to have caused you trouble. I'll treat you to a meal next time. Haha, I'm so sorry."

After hanging up the phone, Qian Yukun looked at Qian Sanyi who was still in a stalemate with Pei Yin, glanced around, and caught the attention of a group of onlookers, and stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder.
"We have finished our meal, let's go home. It is getting late. If you have anything to say, we can talk at home."

Qian Sanyi didn't say anything, but Deng Xiaoqi had already gone to pick up the money for the meal and performed the whole trick.

Qian Sanyi refused the request to take the car back and insisted on walking back with Deng Xiaoqi.

Pei Yin wanted to follow, but Qian Yukun was firm.
"Come with me, I have something to tell you"

Pursing her lips, Pei Yin got into the car silently.

Qian Yukun finally hugged Qian Sanyi, speaking in a gentle and apologetic tone.
"Shanyi, Dad was busy and forgot. I will make it up to you on your birthday tomorrow."

Qian Sanyi exhaled quietly, and spoke in a low voice

"Dad, I've already guessed what's going on between you and my mom. I'm an adult now, and it's my freedom to live with whomever I want. I'm thinking about moving out."

Qian Yukun paused for a moment, let go of Qian Sanyi, sighed, his eyes filled with bitterness and guilt.
"This is too cruel for your mother. Wait until you finish high school. Then she will have a buffer when you go to college."

After saying that, he patted Qian Sanyi on the shoulder, Qian Yukun got into the car and left first.

Qian Sanyi and Deng Xiaoqi did not stay and walked towards the back door of the community.

Lin Miaomiao smacked her lips, feeling that the melon was tasteless.

"Qian Sanyi is quite smart, and his excuse is quite convincing."

“Maybe it’s not all made up.”

Wu Xianyu said casually, and at this time, a yawn was heard again. Wang Shengnan stood up and could hardly open her eyes.

"Okay, we've found the person and had supper, let's go back now."

Wu Xianyu handed the car keys to Wang Shengnan with a concerned tone.
"Auntie, you can ride my bike back first and park it downstairs. Miaomiao and I will walk back slowly."

Wang Shengnan took Wu Xianyu's car keys and hesitated, but her sleepiness made it impossible for her to make a clear choice.
"Okay, I'm really sleepy. I'm old and can't stand it anymore. You and Miaomiao don't stay, go home quickly."

"Yes, we will follow you back."

Lin Miaomiao, smiling, urged Wang Shengnan to go home quickly.

Wang Shengnan rolled her eyes at her and said nothing more. She got on Wu Xianyu's bike and headed towards the back door of the community.

After ordering another portion of wontons to take away, Wu Xianyu paid for the midnight snack.

Lin Miaomiao is a little curious

"Why did you order another one?"

"I just asked the security guard at the door to help adjust the surveillance. I'll treat him to a midnight snack. I can't let him work for nothing."

After waiting for a while at the barbecue restaurant and getting the wontons, the two walked towards the back door of the community.

After leaving the barbecue restaurant, Lin Miaomiao couldn't wait to ask Wu Xianyu

"Did you really meet them at the barbecue restaurant?"

"If you think about it, you know it's impossible. They are not you, Lin Miaomiao, who can't go home just because of a bite of food."

Wu Xianyu pinched Lin Miaomiao's face, causing her to wrinkle her nose and smile. Wu Xianyu continued to speak.

"There is a hotel further west. They came out from there."

"Oh, that's what I said."

Lin Miaomiao had an expression of "as expected". Those two were no longer in a pure boyfriend-girlfriend relationship like her and Xianyu. The bottom line was something that was constantly being broken.

After returning to the back door of the community, Wu Xianyu walked into the security room, put the wontons on the table, and smiled at the security uncle.

"Uncle, I'm really sorry to bother you tonight. I've found the person and brought you a midnight snack. Don't think it's cheap."

"Oh my, it's not worth it, this is my job."

The security guard stood up with a smile on his face, a little at a loss. This kind of food was not expensive and was not worth pushing around. Wu Xianyu put down the wontons, waved goodbye and walked out of the security room.

Lin Miaomiao looked back at the security guard who was watching them leave and blinked.
"You are so polite to me."

“After all, you’re asking for help.”

Taking advantage of the fact that there were few street lights at this time, Wu Xianyu took Lin Miaomiao's hand and walked slowly in the community.

“Isn’t that his job?”

"Hey, you don't understand this. In a society where favors are the norm, nothing is a given. Just like when you're getting your food in the cafeteria, if you say something nice to the lady serving the food, she'll give you more meat, right? It's the same principle. No one doesn't like to hear nice words."

Wu Xianyu used to be very disdainful of such social unwritten rules, but after being beaten by society, he accepted his fate and joined in. People like him who said nice words or did small favors were still relatively gentle.

It would be really frustrating if you really meet someone who won't do anything for you unless you give him gifts.

Thinking about something, a complicated expression appeared on Wu Xianyu's face.

But looking at Wu Xianyu's expression, Lin Miaomiao seemed to have misunderstood something. He had just become an adult, but why was he so familiar with these things?

Considering that Wu Xianyu's parents were always not at home and he lived alone, Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but imagine many scenes of him being bullied.

The thought made her eyes red. Lin Miaomiao looked at Wu Xianyu and her voice trembled.

"Xianyu. It seems like you have had a hard time."

Looking at the self-touched Lin Miaomiao in confusion, Wu Xianyu had no idea what she was thinking, but it didn’t matter. If his girlfriend was in a bad mood, he just had to comfort her.

Having reached the downstairs of his house, Wu Xianyu reached out and hugged Lin Miaomiao, his mouth close to her ear.
"It's okay. My life will be smooth sailing after I meet you. All my previous experiences were preparations for meeting you." "Salted Fish."

Lin Miaomiao was moved. She hugged Wu Xianyu's neck emotionally and kissed him on the lips.

After kissing for a while, the two separated. Lin Miaomiao bit her lip, with a soft light in her eyes.

But Wu Xianyu had a strange smile on his face at this time, just like a fox who stole a chicken.
"Actually, I can guess what you're thinking about, but what I want to say is that as a family member of a soldier, no one would normally make things difficult for me, and the situations you imagined would never happen to me."

Lin Miaomiao's touched expression froze, and soon turned into shame and anger. She chased Wu Xianyu up the stairs

"Salted fish! I'm touched by your return!"

When she chased to the door of Wu Xianyu's house, Lin Miaomiao's little fist still landed on Wu Xianyu's body, but there was no strength at all, and it felt more like flirting.

"Humph"

Lin Miaomiao crossed her arms and pouted, but her tone was still generous.

"Forget it, I won't bother with you, as long as you haven't suffered those grievances."

Hearing Lin Miaomiao say this, Wu Xianyu looked at her in a daze. It felt so good to be cared for. He didn't know what to say to express his feelings, so he expressed it through actions.

"Well, be careful, don't let my parents find out."

After returning home, Lin Miaomiao closed the door gently. She no longer blushed or had a nervous breakdown after a kiss.

There was a lamp on the coffee table in the living room. Lin Dawei was dozing on the sofa with his hands folded. Lin Miaomiao walked over and snapped her fingers.
"Dad, go back to your room and sleep."

"Hmm? You're back."

"Well, my mother should have gone to bed too."

"I'm asleep. I just came back a few minutes ago. You should go to bed too."

Seeing that Lin Miaomiao had returned and it was not too late, Lin Dawei stopped waiting in the living room and got up and went back to his room to sleep.

Looking at her old father's back, Lin Miaomiao yawned, went back to her room, climbed onto the bed quietly and closed her eyes.

Life returned to normal. Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao went to cram school as usual. Lin Dawei sold the house of Wang Dingnan and Tang Yuanming in a few days and without asking for any agency fees. Tang Yuanming was finally able to alleviate his financial crisis.

With the money, Tang Yuanming took Jiaojiao back to his side immediately. Wang Shengnan was reluctant to let her go, so she squatted down and hugged Tang Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, remember to come and see your aunt when you have time."

"Ok, I will"

Tang Jiaojiao nodded vigorously, and Tang Yuanming also smiled and said

"Sister, I'm just taking Jiaojiao out for a few days. I haven't found a house yet."

"Okay, then I won't be so sad. Take Jiaojiao out for fun and don't let her eat junk food outside. It's better to cook it yourself if you can."

After Wang Shengnan was no longer so sad, she couldn't help but nag a few words, but Tang Yuanming listened patiently and finally left with Jiaojiao.

When Lin Miaomiao came back from the cram school at noon, she learned that Jiaojiao had been taken away. She was still a little uncomfortable. During this period of time, she was used to taking the little tail with her wherever she went. Now that she was gone, she felt a little awkward.

After dinner, Lin Miaomiao came to Wu Xianyu's house as usual. Wu Xianyu was a little uncomfortable seeing Jiaojiao was not there, but he adjusted his mood quickly. Besides, Lin Miaomiao's menstrual period was coming soon, so she was very attached to him. And this time because Jiaojiao was gone, Lin Miaomiao needed more spiritual comfort.

Sitting in Wu Xianyu's arms, Lin Miaomiao sniffed the soothing scent and quickly calmed down. She adjusted her posture and took off her glasses.

"Xianyu, I'm sleepy"

"Go to sleep"

"Together"

"it is good"

Hugging Lin Miaomiao and lying directly on the sofa, Wu Xianyu also took off his glasses and closed his eyes.

They didn't know how long they slept before they were awakened by a noise. Lin Miaomiao reached for her glasses and put them on, then climbed out of Wu Xianyu's arms.

I saw Yuwan and Laotie jumping around at home and playing parkour, but the two cats also knew their limits and never went to places that could be easily damaged.

But Lin Miaomiao was still a little irritable after being woken up from her dream. She grabbed Yuwan and said angrily:

"Aren't you usually so listless? Why are you so energetic now?"

Yuwan looked confused, as if to say, "I'm just a little cat, I don't know what you're talking about."

She also caught Laotie over and Lin Miaomiao held the two cats and played with them for a while.

Hearing the noise, Wu Xianyu stood up and looked at the sun outside the window.

"Why don't we go take the cat for a walk? The sun is setting."

"Hmm? Really? I took a long nap this time, so let's go downstairs and take the cat for a walk."

The two put leashes on the cats. When Yuwan and Laotie saw the leashes, they were excited. After being tied with the leashes, they had someone to back them up. Whenever they teased cats and dogs, they would have someone to back them up. Doesn't that mean they could beat up any cat that made them unhappy?
The two cats held their tails erect and walked downstairs briskly. When they got downstairs, Yuwan opened his mouth and meowed, as if announcing his arrival.

Following the strength of the two cats, the two of them walked aimlessly. The two cats just ran around in the flower beds in the community. Often some stray cats were forced out of the bushes by them. Yuwan and Laotie followed behind them, but they didn't run for long before they happily returned to Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao.

They are all domestic male cats. They don't compete with stray cats for female cats, nor do they compete for food. Bullying them is purely for revenge. Usually, they sneak out and these stray cats are very fierce. They dare not fight with stray cats and can only admit defeat. Now that they have a backer, they must get back at the insults they suffered before.

The stray cats of different colors and sizes looked at the two cats, one black and one white, who had chased them for a few steps and then stopped. They were still breathing slightly and looked at the humans behind the two cats. They tactfully avoided Yuwan and Laotie.

However, they didn't act arrogant for long as Yuwan and Laotie seemed to smell something and stopped. Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao were wondering why the two cats nervously approached the bushes, sniffing constantly with their noses.

Wu Xianyu followed behind him and glanced at the bushes, his face slightly serious. Lin Miaomiao saw Wu Xianyu's face and felt a little strange, so she came closer.
"what happened?"

The next second, Lin Miaomiao also saw the scene in the bushes.

A familiar-looking stray cat was lying on the ground, breathing less and more. It felt something approaching and was struggling to get up.

He barely raised his head and saw the familiar cat, then gave up struggling and called out in a hoarse and weak voice.

Lin Miaomiao wanted to go over and take a look, but was stopped by Wu Xianyu

"Go back and get the cat box, and bring some rubber kitchen gloves as well."

"okay"

Watching Lin Miaomiao go away, Wu Xianyu let out a sigh of relief. The situation was actually very obvious. It was a stray cat whose life was coming to an end.

But this cat is special, so just to take Miaomiao's feelings into consideration, Wu Xianyu plans to take it to a pet hospital.
