Chapter 120

Wang Yuanyou huffed in anger and hid the wooden airplane in his hand behind his back.

“Hmph. I’m not giving it to you anymore.”

Lu Keke’s chubby cheeks puffed up at once.

He stomped his foot in displeasure.

“Didn’t I already call you a person? How can you go back on your word?”

“You’re not a person. You’re an annoying ghost!”

Wang Yuanyou teased him on purpose. “That’s right, I’m an annoying ghost. Annoying ghosts like us specialize in eating cute little ghosts like you.”

Even if Lu Keke puffed his face up like a balloon, there was nothing he could do to Wang Yuanyou.

Lu Keke angrily turned his head away, shifting his gaze to Ji Lin, who had been standing quietly to the side the entire time.

So tall.

Lu Keke felt like his neck was getting sore just looking up at him.

Wang Yuanyou gloated from the side.

“Kid, I think you’re barking up the wrong tree. He’s way colder than I am. Even if you call him, he won’t pay you any attention.”

Lu Keke stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly tilted his head back and said, “Daddy, I want the airplane.”

Wang Yuanyou: !!!

How do you have two faces at your age, brat?

You call him Daddy, but you call me person?

He really couldn’t swallow this insult.

Wang Yuanyou felt like the whole world had betrayed him.

He rushed in front of Lu Keke and said in a voice filled with heart-wrenching pain, “Why do you just call me a person, but when you call him, it’s Daddy? I don’t care. You have to call me Daddy too!”

Lu Keke looked at him. In his big, black-grape eyes was a hint of disdain, as if he were looking at an unreasonable child throwing a tantrum.

“One child does not acknowledge two fathers.”

“A good child can’t have two dads. You don’t even know that?”

Wang Yuanyou: ???

One child does not acknowledge two fathers?

He really didn’t know that!

While Wang Yuanyou was still dazed, Ji Lin had already taken the wooden airplane from his hand as if by accident.

“Here.”

Ji Lin placed the wooden airplane into Lu Keke’s hands, a rare trace of gentleness in his eyes.

Suffering a double betrayal, Wang Yuanyou took tremendous damage both physically and mentally.

“Wow, Ji Lin! Acting like some high-and-mighty lord in front of me, but pretending to be an understanding little sweet bean in front of others. What, do you think you’re Totto-chan, the Little Girl at the Window?”

Lu Keke patted Wang Yuanyou’s thigh and, in the most childish voice, said the cruelest words.

“Wake up. You’re almost thirty, not three and a half. Someone like you can’t be Totto-chan. At most, you’re a piece of dried tofu. One gust of wind and you’ll get even more wrinkles on your face.”

Wang Yuanyou was stunned.

For such a little kid, he sure had a lot to say.

He even forgot to be angry. Bending down, he asked in astonishment, “How can you talk this much at your age? Tell me the truth. Did you skip drinking Meng Po’s soup?”

Lu Keke rubbed his little belly.

“You think this belly is full of baby formula? Hah. Naive human. This belly is full of knowledge.”

Wang Yuanyou burst out laughing.

“Cows eat grass and squeeze out milk. But you? You drink milk and poop out knowledge. What, is your stomach some kind of knowledge-processing factory?”

Yun Youyou also chimed in from the side. “Then Popeye doesn’t need to eat spinach anymore. He can just go catch what comes out of your toilet.”

Lu Keke and Wang Yuanyou asked at the same time, “Why?”

Yun Youyou said, “Because knowledge is power!”

Lu Keke: …

Wang Yuanyou: …

“Daddy, I think I’m a little cold.”

Lu Keke’s small body trembled, and he wrapped his arms around Ji Lin’s leg.
“Ji Lin, I think I’m kind of cold too.”

Wang Yuanyou shivered as he clung to Ji Lin’s arm.

With one big and one small deadweight hanging off his arm and calf, Ji Lin lifted his eyes and gave Yun Youyou a bland look.

“Don’t tell cold jokes anymore. You’ll catch a cold.”

Yun Youyou felt deeply wronged. “I’ve never heard of anyone catching a cold from hearing a cold joke.”

Wasn’t this taking the whole scam way too far?

The moment Yun Youyou finished speaking, someone let out a huge sneeze.

“Achoo!”

Wang Yuanyou sniffled.

Yun Youyou: …Kid, are you here to pick a fight with me or what?

Lu Keke moved even faster.

He had already pulled three masks out of his pocket. He handed one each to Yun Youyou and Ji Lin, then hurriedly put one on himself.

By the time Wang Yuanyou finished sniffling, he saw that the three people in front of him were all wearing blue surgical masks.

Two adults and one child stood in a neat row with their masks on. At a glance, they looked exactly like a family of three.

Wang Yuanyou couldn’t decide whether he should condemn them with, “You’re excluding me!” or bitterly accuse them with, “Is that really necessary?”

In the end, he chose to say nothing and silently left that den of trouble.

Before leaving, he deliberately leaned in front of the three of them and coughed especially loudly.

“Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough!”

Naturally, Ji Lin ignored Wang Yuanyou’s childish little tantrum.

Yun Youyou also pretended she hadn’t heard anything.

Only Lu Keke somehow produced a gas mask from somewhere and strapped it firmly over his face.

Wang Yuanyou had been fake-coughing at first. Now he was actually coughing.

“Cough, cough, cough… Where did you get a gas mask?”

He stared at Lu Keke in shock. “Excuse me, are you Doraemon? Next time, are you going to pull an aircraft carrier out of your pocket?”

Lu Keke said, “No. I’ll only pull out a cotton swab to give you a nucleic acid test.”

It seemed that although Lu Keke had died young, he had still taken every throat swab life owed him.

Unable to win the argument, Wang Yuanyou could only storm off in a huff.

He had only taken a few steps when Lu Keke suddenly turned around and tugged at Ji Lin’s pants. His voice sounded soft, sweet, and sensible.

“Maybe you should go check on that uncle.”

With his back to them, Wang Yuanyou’s heart surged like a stormy sea.

Sure, Lu Keke’s words were a little unpleasant, but that was just a child’s innocent babble.

Sure, the things he did were infuriating, but why should Wang Yuanyou stoop to arguing with a child?

Wang Yuanyou silently despised himself for a while.

Just as he was about to turn around and make peace with Lu Keke, Ji Lin crouched down to look Lu Keke in the eye and asked softly, “Why?”

Wang Yuanyou thought to himself: What other reason could there be? Obviously, it’s because he cares about me!

Over here, the word “smug” was written all over Wang Yuanyou’s face.

Over there, the word “concerned” was written all over Lu Keke’s face.

“I’m worried that uncle might lose hope and jump off my family’s villa. You know how it is. The real estate market isn’t doing well right now. If that kind of accident happens, the house price will drop by quite a bit. It wouldn’t be worth it.”

Lu Keke stroked his chin and continued analyzing calmly, “If he really wants to kill himself, I suggest jumping into the sea over there, or burying himself alive. But I don’t recommend smashing his head with tofu pudding or slitting his wrists with potato chips. Those are way too childish.”
