Qiuqiu was bullied at school today.
“Her mom always picks her up, does she not have a dad?”
“Her mom is so old, almost as old as my grandma.”
“Hahaha, she’s such an oddball, we don’t want to play with her anymore.”
As soon as the little brat said this, the children squatting there playing with Qiuqiu picked up their cards and ran off.
That child smugly pulled at the corners of his mouth with his hands, stuck out his tongue, and made a raspberry sound.
Xie Qiu’er remained unfazed, not breaking down into tears as they expected.
Instead, she rolled up her sleeves, put her cards in her pocket, and challenged the little brat.
“What kind of skill is it to make up stories about people? Aren’t you ashamed as a boy? If you have the guts, fight me!”
A crowd of little sprouts watched. The little brat, afraid of losing face, put his hands on his hips with great gusto.
“What am I afraid of? You’re not allowed to cry later.”
“Okay, then let’s see who cries.”
The little brat raised his fist and charged at Xie Qiu’er, who coolly dodged with a turn of her head.
She reached out and firmly gripped the little brat’s wrist, immobilizing him. The little brat was on the verge of tears.
“Let go, let me go~ What kind of skill is it to stop me from moving like this?”
“Do you admit defeat?”
“Hmph, I haven’t lost. How could I possibly lose to a little girl like you?”
As he spoke, he tried to pull Qiuqiu’s hair with his other hand. Qiuqiu tripped his feet with her own.
The little brat tumbled to the ground with a thud. Unwilling to accept defeat, he started rolling around, crying his heart out.
The surrounding little sprouts burst into laughter, “Hahaha, Gao Xiaoming, you can’t take a loss~”
“So embarrassing, Gao Xiaoming was defeated by a girl. I don’t want to play with him anymore.”
Qiuqiu frowned, “You can’t bully others like this. Isolating people is wrong. Didn’t your parents teach you that?”
Gao Xiaoming hadn’t expected Xie Qiu’er to speak up for him. He stopped crying, got up, and wiped his tears fiercely with his sleeve.
“Thank you. You won. From now on, you’re my boss, and I’ll never say bad things about you again.”
After saying that, he obediently stood behind Xie Qiu’er. The sprouts next to them were a bit stunned.
“Qiuqiu, what is isolation?”
“It’s what you were just doing. Xiaoming thought I was bad, so he told others not to play with me.
You thought Xiaoming was bad, so you told others not to play with him. This is wrong.
People who are isolated are so pitiful, doing everything alone, with no friends.”
“Ah, it’s so hard to play alone. I don’t want to be alone. I have so many friends.”
“We are all friends, and we will never isolate any friend again.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Seeing that the little sprouts accepted him again and were playing marbles together, Gao Xiaoming was overjoyed.
“Qiuqiu, I want to be your friend, your best friend. From now on, if I hear anyone say bad things about you, I’ll hit them.”
“Hitting people is wrong.”
Xie Qiu’er looked Gao Xiaoming up and down and said, “My best friend must be a very capable person, not someone like you.”
Gao Xiaoming was a bit disappointed. “Oh~ Then I’ll just be your friend for now, not the best. Also, why did you hit me earlier (ಥ﹏ಥ)?”
“You provoked me first, and you made the first move. So it was right for me to act. People can be kind, but not weak.”
“Wow~ Qiuqiu, you know so much.”
“Of course, my mom taught me all this.”
“Your mom is amazing. Can I come to your house to play?”
“No—way.”
Her inner monologue: “Mom is mine alone.”
It was time to go home from school. Xie Qiu’er skipped home with her little backpack. Her house was not far from the school.
She no longer needed Xu Ying to pick her up. Xu Ying had more important tasks to attend to.
“Mom, I’m home~”
“Oh, my baby must be tired? Mommy stewed chicken today. I’ll give you a good meal to replenish your energy.”
Qiuqiu was overjoyed. She put down her backpack, washed her hands, and scurried into the kitchen to watch Xu Ying.
“Mom, are you not working these days?”
“No, the team gave me a month’s leave. Mommy wants to spend quality time with our Qiuqiu at home.”
“Mommy is the best. I fought with someone today.”
Xu Ying asked casually, “Oh, did you win?”
Xu Qiu’er puffed out her chest proudly, “Of course I won. I didn’t even use much strength to beat that little fatty.”
“Hahaha, but you shouldn’t hit people randomly, okay?”
“I know. He provoked me first, and he wasn’t angry. He even recognized me as his boss.”
“Hahaha, our Qiuqiu is truly capable.”
“Hehe~”
However, there were three bowls for their dinner. This was called offering a meal. Xu Ying was very grateful for Jun Jiuli’s appearance.
So, after she returned, she would serve a bowl of food for Jun Jiuli with every meal. Although she would end up eating it herself, it was her gesture.
Jun Jiuli, who was in another dimension far away, knew nothing of this. Even if she did, she would only sigh that she was glad she hadn’t wasted food.
“Mom, I want to learn that too…”
“We’ll talk about it when you’re older. What I do is very dangerous, and you don’t understand yet. I can’t make decisions for you.”
“Mom, Mom, Mom~ Just teach me. I’ll definitely not regret it. Aren’t I your lovely successor?”
“Silly girl, then I’ll teach you first…”
This world still had some supernatural incidents. After studying, Xu Ying learned a lot through the internet.
Those ghost walls that people couldn’t escape, people who became mentally unstable from fear, people who committed suicide without any warning…
Girls who disappeared for no reason, strange crime scenes, the tragic deaths of victims…
Although these incidents only flashed by on the internet, they caused the sorrow of many families.
She was determined to be a useful person to society and not waste the skills she had learned.
Finally, she became a public servant for the country, always available when needed, shining brightly in her area of expertise.
She did not hoard what Jun Jiuli had left behind. Interested colleagues could practice with her.
However, they all had to pay respects to Immortal Aunt Xu, or they couldn’t learn. Immortal Aunt Xu had almost become the most popular “immortal” in their department.
“Mom, I still can’t learn it. This little paper figure just won’t obey me. Am I very stupid?”
“No, learning is a slow process. Instant success only happens in storybooks.”
“Mom, I will definitely practice hard and become a capable person like you in the future.”
“Yes, my darling is wonderful.”
Beep, beep, beep, the phone rang. Xu Ying quickly answered.
“Captain Xu, damn it, this willow tree has become a spirit. I’ll send you the address. Come quickly for backup.”
“Okay, I’m coming right away.”
Xu Ying rubbed Qiuqiu’s head and left without a word. Qiuqiu’s eyes were filled with longing, not resentment.
“Mom, you can do it!”
