Bao Er stayed in the hospital for three days. She was given IV fluids until she was all better before she was discharged. As for her money-giver, Tan Jingmo, he never appeared again aside from when he came to settle her hospital bills.
For the past three days, Lu Xi Jie’s nanny came over a few times, bringing soup and water. She kept apologizing to Bao Er, making Bao Er feel embarrassed while Lu Xi Jie’s mother never appeared at all.
Afterward, the nanny explained the circumstances to her that took the thought off her mind.
After she was discharged, Bao Er rested in her “golden nest” for a whole day. She made sure her body was completely better before she went out. After being pranked by Lu Xi Jie this once, she didn’t plan to keep quiet, and naturally didn’t plan to wait. She wanted to turn it around, to counterattack.
In front of a small child, the immature nature hidden under her adult appearance resurfaced. Bao Er was pretty childish at times.
At the door of 502, Bao Er pressed the doorbell. After a while, the auntie came out.
“Ai, it’s Bao Er. Come in come in. Don’t you just get discharged? Why are you already here to tuition our young master? We can postpone his tuition,but you need to nourish your own body.”
The auntie poured her a glass of milk, treating her very warmly. Perhaps she felt closer to her after visiting her at the hospital for the past three days, and also because she felt guilty about Bao Er.
“It’s okay, auntie. I’m already much better. There’s nothing else I can do at home, and I feel bored, so I come here.” Bao Er skipped the courtesy and downed the milk in one gulp.
“Oh, then that’s good to hear. The young master is in the study room. I’ll go and call the young master right now, you wait for a while!”
Bao Er waved her hand, letting her know that it was unnecessary. “It’s alright, auntie. I can go in on my own, since the tuition will also be held in the study room later.”
The auntie thought for a while after listening to her words. Perhaps she thought that it made sense, so she agreed.
So she grabbed her bag on her own and walked to the study room slowly.
When she entered, Lu Xi Jie seemed to be reading a children’s storybook delightfully, as if he’d forgotten about what happened to Bao Er a few days ago. You are reading on novelping.com, the official source.
Bao Er ‘hmph’ in her heart. See if he could still be so calm after this, she’d let him taste his own medicine.
Softening her footsteps, Bao Er walked near to him slowly. She lowered her head and suddenly talked loudly beside his ear. “Lu Xi Jie, what are you looking at!” The loud sound shocked Lu Xi Jie who was sitting decently on the stool. The book in his hand fell to the ground with a “Peng”.
“Woman, are you trying to shock me to death?” Lu Xi Jie jumped up from his chair, and glared at his teacher with raging eyes. She was a very stupid idiot in his eyes.
He intentionally failed the paper with 60 marks. It was a piece of cake for him to score 100 marks with such an easy exam paper. If anything, it was her fault for poking her nose into his business.
Bao Er glared at Lu Xi Jie angrily. He knew that he was wrong but he didn’t want to change. If she didn’t punish this small brat, she would have done wrong to the country and the people.
“Lu Xi Jie, no matter what, you shouldn’t forget what happened that day. Shouldn’t you show me your apology at the very least? Perhaps I wouldn’t mind too much if you know that you are wrong.” But if he didn’t, then he left her with no choice.
Lu Xi Jie turned his head to one side, and didn’t think that it was such a big matter. He was the boss, and she was only a teacher hired by his family. What would she dare to do? So he was unwilling to apologize? Bao Er nodded, and put her hand into the bag. She pulled out something, and immediately placed it in front of Lu Xi Jie.
“Ah! Mouse!” At that moment, a loud shriek came from inside the study room. But Bao Er had locked the door beforehand, so not even the heavens could rescue him.
At this thought, Bao Er showed a pitiful expression. Yo, she forgot to say something, which was she was very resentful, especially when she met such a naughty small child.
Chapter 28. Taking it for granted
“You bad woman, I’ll tell my mother and let her chase you out of my house.” Lu Xi Jie took a few steps back and wiped off his tears, before he growled at Bao Er.
“Tell her then. But your mother is not at home now, and I’ve locked the door. Are you sure you can go out to your mother’s office and tell her to chase me away?” Bao Er reminded Lu Xi Jie kind-heartedly.
After she said that, she pressed the tail of the mouse. The “mouse” immediately began to move gradually with its eyes twisting around. It certainly looked a lot like a mouse as it looked so real. No wonder it was able to scare people.
Bao Er was very satisfied with this.
“Small brat, aren’t you very brave? Why are you hiding like a coward? Scared of being bitten by the mouse?” Bao Er said casually. When the nanny came to visit her, she asked her about the things that Lu Xi Jie were afraid of, and found out that he was afraid of mice.
Lu Xi Jie jumped very high up. “Bad woman, you take it away quickly, wu wu, take it away quickly, I want to tell mum that you bully me, wu wuu…” Lu Xi Jie was shocked to death, tearing up with a runny nose as he cried while threatening her.
“I won’t take it away, and what can you do? I tell you, this thing likes to bite naughty children most. They will secretly run into your room in the middle of the night, and then give you a fierce bite on your hand, your neck, your leg, and even your face. It will be very, very painful.” Bao Er continued scaring him.
This was a psychological tactic, playing on the mentality that children were gullible. As they were still too young, it was hard for them to differentiate complicated things. They tend to believe many things that adults would say, like believing that snow white, dwarfs, Santa Claus and angels existed.
In reality, Lu Xi Jie was not a normal child. He didn’t believe in snow white and dwarfs, but not mice. He had a shock about it and was too afraid last time, so he ended up believing in what Bao Er randomly said.
When Bao Er was young, she was the same. She heard the adults say that if they accidentally ate tangerine seeds, a tangerine tree would grow in their stomach. When she truly ate it, she started worrying everyday about the tree that would suddenly grow in her stomach. When she recalled that time, it was really funny.
“You talk nonsense, I didn’t beat them.” Lu Xi Jie’s voice was trembling. Although he was refuting Bao Er’s words, she could hear that he had believed in her nonsensical words.
Ah, look at how gullible small children were. Bao Er’s heart was jovial.
“Nonsense? Then you see for yourself if they’ll come to bite you in your room tonight. Wait for it, and don’t cry like this at that time. They don’t like children who always cry and make trouble the most.”
Lu Xi Jie quickly covered his mouth after hearing Bao Er’s words, and didn’t dare to cry anymore.
Bao Er put her head up high with dignity, looking absolutely like a notable teacher. She then walked to the stool at the side openly and sat down, feeling very satisfied with Lu Xi Jie’s reaction.
That thing was actually a fake toy she bought from Taobao online. It looked real, and it really cost her a lot of money. But at the thought of taking vengeance, she still bought all this stuff after spending a lot of money painstakingly.
The nature of a child like Lu Xi Jie wasn’t bad, but if she allowed him to continue developing like this without trying to correct him, then anything might happen.
What about him? Taking things for granted, thinking that he was just playing a small prank, and making that person diarrhea at the very worst. But what if his action came with the cost of a person’s life, then who should take responsibility? There was no regret pill in this world.
