Chapter 119

“Is it possible you’re being targeted not because of your beauty, but because of your mouth?”

A childish voice suddenly sounded beside Yun Youyou’s ear.

Yun Youyou turned her head and, through her sunglasses, saw Lu Keke’s chubby little face.

His round face was hiding behind the back of Yun Youyou’s chair, with only a pair of dark, shiny eyes showing. There was a hint of mischief in them, but not the kind that made people dislike him.

Yun Youyou couldn’t help reaching out and pinching his plump cheek.

“Has anyone ever told you you’re very cute? Apart from your mouth.”

Lu Keke let Yun Youyou pinch his face and said with a solemn expression, “Looks are nothing but fleeting clouds. Only my talent will be remembered for centuries.”

Yun Youyou was instantly amused by his little-adult act. She simply leaned over the back of her chair to tease him.

“Then what talent do you have? Can you broaden my horizons too?”

Lu Keke lifted his head high and said smugly, “Then beg me.”

Yun Youyou said, “I beg you.”

Lu Keke clearly hadn’t expected Yun Youyou to agree so readily. He looked up in surprise.

“How can an adult like you have no dignity at all?”

Yun Youyou shrugged. “Dignity can’t be eaten.”

Lu Keke’s fragile little heart was dealt a massive shock.

So being an adult meant being this shameless.

Though Lu Keke was young, he knew that a person had to keep their word.

Since Yun Youyou had already begged him, he had to let Yun Youyou witness his talent.

“All right, then. Today, I’ll let you see my signature move.”

Lu Keke was tiny, but his presence was enormous.

Even Yun Youyou was momentarily awed by his momentum.

Could this kid actually have some earth-shattering talent?

Lu Keke planted both hands on his hips. “First move: A gentleman stands upon benevolence and righteousness, but I stand upon my head.”

Yun Youyou: ???

What kind of weird nonsense was that? Though it did sound pretty impressive.

Curious, she widened her eyes and stared unblinkingly, waiting for Lu Keke’s next move.

Not far away, on the second floor, the window facing the courtyard had opened at some point.

Ji Lin and Wang Yuanyou stood by the window.

Wang Yuanyou also stuck his head out curiously, waiting for Lu Keke to show off his ultimate move.

He couldn’t help sighing. “Kids these days really don’t lose out to us adults at all.”

Ji Lin merely watched in silence.

Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, Lu Keke placed both hands beside his head and took his head off.

Yun Youyou: full of question marks.jpg

What was he trying to do?

The next second, Lu Keke set his head on the ground.

He stretched out his hand haughtily toward Yun Youyou and said, “Come over and give me a hand.”

So Yun Youyou gave him a hand.

Then she watched as Lu Keke carefully stepped both feet onto his own head.

“This is my ultimate move!”

Lu Keke withdrew his hand and, without relying on anything, stood steadily on top of his own head.

Yun Youyou: …

So standing upon his head was meant in the literal, physical sense.

Yun Youyou felt like she was truly an idiot. Just now, she had actually held on to the tiniest sliver of hope.

Lu Keke got carried away for a moment, and his center of gravity slipped. His whole ghost body started wobbling.

To keep himself steady, he had no choice but to keep stepping on his own head with his feet.

“Well? Isn’t it amazing?”

For every word Lu Keke said, the head beneath his feet rolled forward half a bit.

By the time Lu Keke finished his sentence, he had already put five meters of distance between himself and Yun Youyou.

Yun Youyou’s expression was complicated beyond words.
“That skill of yours really is pretty impressive. Say a few more words and I bet you could make it all the way to Africa. Other people need planes and ships to travel around the world. From now on, you can just step on your own head. Saves money and it’s environmentally friendly too.”

Lu Keke was still young, so he didn’t quite understand.

For a moment, he couldn’t tell whether Yun Youyou was sincerely praising him or making fun of him.

As they were talking, Lu Keke’s head accidentally bumped into a small stone.

The head lost its balance and suddenly rolled forward-just in time to hit a slope up ahead.

Three pairs of eyes watched just like that as Lu Keke sped off, driving his own head at illegal speeds.

Yun Youyou cupped her hands around her mouth like a megaphone.

“Keke! Even if you’re riding your head, you can’t go over the speed limit! Remember, safety first!”

Up on the second-floor windowsill, Wang Yuanyou laughed so hard he practically crowed like a rooster.

He slapped his thigh. “Hahahahaha… You know what, that little boy really is a lot like Yun Youyou. Neither of them ever plays by the rules.”

Ji Lin couldn’t laugh at all. He stared coldly at Wang Yuanyou.

A chilling murderous aura was hidden in those mesmerizing peach-blossom eyes of his.

Wang Yuanyou’s smile froze at the corner of his mouth. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you unhappy?”

Ji Lin let out a cold laugh. “You have the nerve to ask? Heh. Lower your head and take a look at where your filthy paw is.”

Wang Yuanyou looked down in confusion.

Why does my leg look so much smoother now?

It must be because my workouts have been paying off lately.

Wait. No!

He took a closer look and realized that wasn’t his leg at all. It was Ji Lin’s.

Wang Yuanyou awkwardly removed his wandering hand.

“Hahaha… This is all a misunderstanding.”

“I was wondering why the muscles in my thigh had gotten so firm lately. Turns out it wasn’t my thigh at all. But seriously, you’ve trained those muscles pretty well.”

Wang Yuanyou rambled nonsense for a while before simply changing the subject.

“Come on, come on, let’s go downstairs and take a look. Who knows if that kid riding his head has come back yet?”

As if chased by a ghost, Wang Yuanyou quickly fled the scene.

Ji Lin followed behind him at an unhurried pace.

Downstairs.

Lu Keke had already returned in a sorry state, holding his head in his arms.

He had rolled straight to the edge of the beach just now.

Now the head in his hands was covered in bright golden sand. After all, Lu Keke was still only a child, and he couldn’t help but start crying big, beaded tears.

“Wuuu…”

He held his own head in both hands, his bare neck paired with the head in his arms. It was impossible to say how comical he looked.

Especially since the head he was holding was still crying nonstop.

Yun Youyou had no choice but to use her clean skirt to wipe Lu Keke’s head clean.

“All right, stop crying. Or you can go cry next to that potted plant over there. It hasn’t been watered today anyway.”

The next second, Lu Keke cried even louder.

Yun Youyou felt her headache getting worse.

By the time Ji Lin and the others came over, Yun Youyou had only just managed to coax Lu Keke into calming down.

Lu Keke was still sniffling in Yun Youyou’s arms.

His round little body trembled with each hiccup.

Wang Yuanyou crouched down and offered him a toy. “Call me Uncle, and I’ll give you this toy.”

Lu Keke stared longingly at the wooden airplane in his hand. His chubby little paw couldn’t help reaching toward it.

Wang Yuanyou meanly dodged to the side.

“Hurry up and address me! Otherwise, I won’t give it to you!”

Lu Keke said, “Person!”

He stared fixedly at the airplane, not even blinking his black grape-like eyes.

Wang Yuanyou: …

I told you to address me, not call me “person”!
