BXBX NOVEL Chapter 350 - Adios, Amigo
"JieJie, why are they taking so much time?" Cracking her knuckles, she added, "I do have a mood to let off some steam."
Her words were still hanging at the tip of her tongue when Xu Mey almost flew and stood before her brothers in a protective manner. Her stance amused Ru who thought she looked like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
"Y-You can’t hurt my brothers," Xu Mey stuttered a bit since it was her first time standing against her Sensei. It felt weird for a million reasons she couldn’t possibly put in words.
"Oh? Mind telling me why I can’t do that?" The way Ru emphasized on ’I’ made Xu Mey gulp visibly. Now, she knew how much of a torture it was to stand firm under the intimidating pressure of Ru.
"Because... I don’t want you to hurt them." Xu Mey’s voice came out a bit weak.
"Hey, Little Mey, what are you saying? You don’t think we can deal with a single lanky guy like him?" Xu Mey straightforwardly shook her head at her brothers’ words.
"If it’s him... You don’t stand a chance." Xu Mey answered without a doubt.
Ru chuckled at her response earning herself a few weird looks.
"JieJie, your wife doesn’t want me to hurt them." Jie grimaced a bit seeing how Xu Mey was still taking her brothers’ side. What about him?
"Although we don’t know you," He Jian started and Ru turned her green eyes to him. "I think you shouldn’t get involved. Jie actually hurt our little girl this time."
"Did you ask him why he did that?" Ru asked calmly. "In my opinion, it’s you guys who need to stop jumping to conclusions about him just because Xu Mey said something. This matter just shows how little of a trust you have in him."
Ru’s words stunned everyone in the room. But the most baffled person was the one being discussed; Jie.
"Oi! Are you really standing up for me? But just yesterday you were yelling at me for being wrong." Jie was perplexed at her contradictory behavior.
"Yesterday, it was you and me. And let’s be honest we both will never call each other right. But right now, the matter is different. I can call my best friend wrong but I won’t let anyone else point that out." Was it odd that Jie felt all warm and fuzzy inside? She really cared about him in her own twisted way.
"Sensei, are you taking my husband’s side right now?"
"If you can take your best friends’ side, why can’t I do the same?" Ru retorted plainly.
"But I thought you’ll always be on my side." Xu Mey’s voice turned soft.
"If you really want to compare yourself with Jie, girl you’re looking for-,"
"No need to continue," Jie’s voice cut off whatever she had in mind. He really didn’t want Ru to hurt Xu Mey’s feelings. "Baby, don’t listen to this jerk. He’s being an insensitive douchebag right now."
"Bloody Twat!" Ru snapped back.
"Dumba*s!" Jie retorted.
"Oh, bummer! I don’t want to face rubbish like you." Amusing chuckles made Ru scowl. "Ah, this is my fault for coming at the wrong time."
Before Jie could stop her, Ru was already at the window saying, "Although I caught the fish, there is some shark yet to pull in. Let’s discuss the secret recipe later. Adios Amigo!"
Jie frowned at her parting words. There is someone else behind the accident? Who? He suddenly had a bad premonition about this.
"Who was that?" Jie didn’t know which one of them questioned it. But he knew how to answer that.
"He’s my best friend. No, scratch that. He’s more like a brother."
