Chapter 43: What? This rich little girl is telling me to wait for her to grow up?

Ye Kui had just stepped out of the operating room.

He saw a large group of little radishes clustered at the door.

They had been waiting for so long that they were all a little sleepy.

But the moment they saw Ye Kui come out, their weary expressions vanished.

One by one, they stood up, their eyes shining with energy as they stared at him.

They shuffled their little steps, circling around Ye Kui.

“Brother Ye, you’re out!”

“Brother Ye, did everything go well?”

“Brother Ye, how’s the situation?”

There was one part worry and ninety-nine parts trust in their eyes.

A little loli handed him a glass of water.

Ye Kui smiled as he took it and drank it down in one gulp.

It tasted sweet—the other party had added sugar.

The name ‘Beiming Shuangyu’ had already been told to them by Ye Kui.

After all, how could a good deed go without leaving a name?

“Your sister Beiming’s surgery was a complete success. She’s a girl now!”

The little lolis went “Ah—” for a while, their eyes wide and their pupils round.

Suddenly, they realized—wait a minute…

Doesn’t Sister Beiming have a chest? Isn’t she already a girl?

“Haha, I was just messing with you.”

Ye Kui squatted down and pinched their slightly chubby, baby-fat cheeks, grinning mischievously.

Compared to when they first met—scrawny, battered, and thin—they had gained some weight after a few days of his care.

Mm, as expected, a little bit of flesh on a loli’s face is better.

It feels nice to pinch, soft, with a bit of milky sweetness, like cotton candy.

Ye Kui didn’t play favorites.

He pinched each of them.

None of them resisted.

They squinted their eyes and enjoyed it, because Ye Kui’s touch wasn’t heavy at all.

They were deeply grateful to this Brother Ye.

If not for him, they might have long since died in some cold, damp corner, curled up in pain.

Instead, they now lived in a princess castle-like environment, like a beautiful dream.

With candy to eat anytime, little cakes, and countless toys…

Brother Ye had said that after some time, he would send them home.

They believed Ye Kui unconditionally.

Having gone through hardship, they matured early—they weren’t stupid.

If Ye Kui wanted to harm them, he wouldn’t need to go to such lengths.

Even if he did want to harm them, at least he let them enjoy the last stretch of happiness.

Among them, a few older girls, about six or seven years old, pressed their tender little chests and looked at Ye Kui with flushed faces.

In their watery eyes were traces of strange emotion.

It was the age when feelings first blossomed.

Their difficult experiences had made them mature enough to understand what those feelings meant.

A prince doesn’t have to ride a White Horse.

A hero doesn’t have to drive a Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud.

“Um… Brother Ye…”

One little girl took a deep breath.

She cautiously stretched out her small hand and grabbed Ye Kui’s finger.

Meeting his puzzled gaze, the girl’s eyes shimmered with tears and dodged away, but quickly turned resolute.

After going through such things, she understood that no one knew whether tomorrow or misfortune would come first.

So—don’t let yourself regret it!

“I like you!”

As she spoke, her young chest trembled slightly, as if she had used all her strength.

But her eyes grew brighter, and her soft voice became firmer, each word clear!

Her aura grew stronger!

“Brother Ye, can you wait for me to grow up?”

“My family is very rich, and I’m the only daughter. I’ll support you then!”

Ye Kui: ???

Ye Kui executed a textbook tactical backbend!

What? He was confessed to by a rich little loli? And she wants to keep him?

Ye Kui was young and strong—he didn’t have auditory hallucinations.

“Of course, if Brother Ye can’t wait, I can also do it now…”

The little girl lowered her small head, her fragrant cheeks red, her pale fingers twisting the hem of her skirt into creases.

Her voice was low and soft.

But her words were bold and shocking!

Ye Kui felt a chill on his forehead.

He felt like a 7.62mm Bullet might shoot through his head at any moment.

The other little girls stared wide-eyed in shock and anger at their “good sister.”

I treated you as a sister, and you’re trying to steal my Brother Ye?!

Then, they all raised their little hands, showing their rosy palms, surrounding Ye Kui as they spoke in those soft, milky voices.

“Brother Ye, wait for me to grow up too…”

“That’s right, wait for us to grow up!”

“Brother Ye, I love you (≧∇≦)ﾉ…”

Ye Kui felt like he might be gunned down by a barrage—again and again!

Looking at their delicate, jade-carved faces, Ye Kui felt this was truly a crime.

Suddenly, with a ‘pa’ sound, the little girl who had grabbed his finger earlier stared blankly at the soft tentacle that slapped her hand away.

Zina glared at her!

It was bad enough having dolls—now even human children were eyeing her master?!

Zina: (▼ヘ▼#)

Ye Kui saw that Zina was jealous again and skillfully patted her little head with his finger to comfort her.

Looking at the little lolis gazing at him with shyness and anticipation—aside from a few bold ones, the rest were watching.

Maybe, if he showed any weakness, they would take the opportunity to push further.

Bang!

The operating room doors burst open.

Black dragon scales covered the hands gripping the doorway as the person inside slowly emerged.

The scales vanished, leaving deep claw marks on the doorframe.

The black stockings on her legs were battle-damaged, with tears revealing pale, flushed skin.

Beiming Shuangyu walked up to Ye Kui, hands on her hips, staring at him sharply.

“Even if you’re my savior, don’t think you can lay a finger on them… I warn you, our Law Enforcement Bureau has a complete set of laws!”

Ye Kui looked at her.

Her hair was a bit disheveled—it seemed she had bumped around a lot inside.

Still, even like this, she had a unique beauty.

Beiming Shuangyu’s foundation was excellent.

“The Qipao looks nice.”

Beiming Shuangyu froze, not expecting Ye Kui to suddenly compliment her, and stammered, “Uh… thank you?”

Ye Kui: “Your waist is very white and slender, too.”

Beiming Shuangyu’s face instantly turned red.

She covered the slit of her Qipao and glared at him in shame and anger!

“Where were you looking?!”

Ye Kui: “What do you mean ‘peeking’? Don’t say it like that—I was looking openly.”

Beiming Shuangyu: ……

Hard!

Her fists clenched!

This guy’s mouth really can’t talk!

Beiming Shuangyu huffed!

“No girl would like someone like you!”

The little lolis, hearing this, raised their hands one after another!

“Not true, we like Brother Ye very much!”

“Exactly! We can be Brother Ye’s girlfriends!”

“Brother Ye—the joy of raising him!”

Beiming Shuangyu nearly choked, stunned by these little girls undermining her authority.

Little lolis these days really know too much!

Beiming Shuangyu took a deep breath, her eyes serious.

“Ye Kui, it’s not allowed. If you dare to make a move, I’ll definitely stop you!”

“Even if you saved me!”

“Since that’s the case… how about I make a small exception?”

Beiming Shuangyu: ???

The twist was so abrupt it almost broke Beiming Shuangyu’s back.

Her temples throbbed, and her blood pressure rose.

“I’m very grateful to you, and I’ll do my best to repay your kindness without violating my principles—even if it takes a lifetime.”

“So… let’s not joke around.”

“Love is an exchange of true feelings—I don’t like shallow emotions.”

Ye Kui raised an eyebrow.

He admired people like her.

A bit dumb and stubborn, but… cute.

He guessed Beiming Shuangyu must have been teased a lot by Luo Qiongyin in daily life.

After all, teasing her was really fun.

“That’s a real pity.”

“But if you’re going to repay me for a lifetime… if Miss Beiming gets married, wouldn’t that be betraying your husband?”

“Simple,” Beiming Shuangyu replied calmly. “I just won’t get married.”

Ye Kui choked.

He gave a thumbs up.

“Good idea.”

“But I was just joking.”

Beiming Shuangyu gazed at him.

“But I’m serious.”

Ye Kui: ……

Ye Kui suddenly felt like he’d made a wrong move.

He just wanted to check Beiming Shuangyu’s mental state.

After all, he had added so many strange things to her body—he was worried those residual, violent alchemical materials might have affected her mind.

He didn’t expect her to react so strongly yet not have red eyes.

It seemed she had mastered and suppressed it perfectly.

Zina puffed up like a pufferfish.

Really, why was her master chatting alone with this woman again!
