The Villainess is Three and a Half Years Old - Chapter 55-3

“If you don’t let me earn money, I’ll sever our relationship,” Ye Ya said solemnly, pulling the strap of her bag and facing the setting sun.

Ye Linchuan chuckled. “Sever our relationship?”

Ye Ya clarified, “Our grammy-bro relationship.”

“…?”

“What the heck is a grammy-bro relationship??”

Ye Ya followed Ye Linchuan out of the school, and outside the gate was a lonely green electric bike. Ye Linchuan walked over expressionlessly, unlocked the bike, and straddled it. After a moment’s thought, he got off, picked up Ye Ya, and placed her in front of him. He casually put a familiar pink helmet on her head.

Ye Linchuan grasped the handlebars with both hands and started the electric bike.

Teacher Liu, who had just arrived in her car, was instantly stunned when she saw this scene. She rolled down her car window and faced Ye Linchuan, saying, “Mr. Ye… did you come here by bike?” She glanced up and down at Ye Linchuan. The tall and stern man didn’t quite match the green electric bike, and there was a small booklet swaying in the front basket. With good eyesight, Teacher Liu saw the words on it:

“Go to XX Hospital for Male Health Checkups.”

It was obviously one of those small ads distributed on the roadside.

Her eyelids twitched, and she inexplicably wanted to laugh.

Ye Linchuan pretended not to notice the teasing look in Teacher Liu’s eyes.

In fact, he had two other cars outside. One was simply too expensive to maintain, and the other was for Assistant He. However, Assistant He had said that it was being repaired and would only be available next month. Ye Linchuan had originally planned to take a taxi today, but he was ruthlessly stopped by Shen Zhou.

“Uncle Ye, your taxi expenses have been too high recently.”

Ye Linchuan pondered, realizing that it was time to save money. However, he didn’t want to take public transportation, so he reluctantly borrowed the electric bike from the neighbor’s Auntie. Fortunately, it was easy to ride, and he quickly got used to it.

Ignoring Teacher Liu, Ye Linchuan turned the handle, and the green electric bike whizzed away.

His cycling skills were barely passable, and he rode wobbly as if he could fall over at any moment.

Ye Ya lifted her hat a bit. It was now the rush hour, and the roads were packed with cars and people, with no gaps to be seen.

Suddenly, a pleasant aroma wafted over. Ye Ya’s nose twitched, and she looked up. “I’m hungry.”

Ye Linchuan waited at the traffic light, expressionless. “The kindergarten doesn’t provide meals.”

“I didn’t eat enough,” Ye Ya rubbed her little belly. She had something on her mind today and didn’t eat much for dinner, so she was already hungry.

Looking around, Ye Ya saw a street vendor on the adjacent street and licked her lips. “Brother, I want to eat that.”

Ye Linchuan kept his gaze straight ahead. “We don’t have money.”

“I do!” With money in hand, Ye Ya had confidence. She patted her school bag. “I have money!”

A child’s persistent whining can truly be annoying. Ye Linchuan turned the bike around and led Ye Ya to the street full of barbecue stalls across the road.

The street was filled with restaurants, with tables and chairs lining the sidewalk. Almost every table had men in sleeveless shirts and lively women chatting and laughing. Glasses clinked, lights were dazzling, and the atmosphere was bustling with a sense of the common people.

Ye Linchuan had never been to a place like this in his entire life, and his tightly furrowed brows were full of disdain.

Ye Ya pulled Ye Linchuan and found a barbecue restaurant. She looked at the sizzling meat skewers on the charcoal fire, licked her lips, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

“What would you like?” The boss, with a toothpick in his mouth, squinted his eyes and asked them.

Ye Ya pointed at the meat skewers on the grill and said, “I want meat!”

The boss chuckled and asked, “What kind of meat?”

Ye Ya couldn’t name it and looked at Ye Linchuan.

He said, “Just give us whatever.”

“Alright, go sit over there first. It’ll be ready soon.”

Ye Ya hopped and found a table to sit down on.

It was a busy time, and the table hadn’t been wiped clean yet. It was stained with oil. Ye Linchuan hesitated for a long time but ultimately didn’t sit down. He quietly lit a cigarette and went to the side to smoke.

The skewers arrived quickly. Ye Ya happily ate one skewer after another, one in her left hand and one in her right. Seeing Ye Linchuan sitting alone, she stood up and handed him one skewer, saying, “Here.”

Ye Linchuan lowered his head.

After a while, the little face became dirty, with oil smudges around her mouth and chili and cumin powder on her face. Ye Linchuan couldn’t bear to see it and took out a tissue to wipe it himself.

“Have some.” Ye Ya tiptoed, raising her little arm higher.

“I won’t eat.” Ye Linchuan refused decisively, fearing it was not clean.

“Have some~”

“I won’t eat.”

“Have some, have some~”

The dangerous bamboo skewer wobbled back and forth, making Ye Linchuan’s heart pound. He frowned, accepted it, and carefully took a bite. The meat skewer was perfectly grilled, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. With one bite, the juicy flavor overflowed, making the tip of his tongue tingle with its deliciousness.

It’s freaking delicious!

Ye Linchuan didn’t mind the dirt anymore and sat back in his chair, ordering ten more skewers.

The little girl had a small appetite and was almost full after eating two skewers.
