Chapter 2244: Baobao’s First Love 01_6
"Why are you getting up? What do you need? Let them get it for you!"
Xia Ke obviously didn’t know the situation Liangzi was facing at the moment and continued to scold him non-stop.
Even though they were beggars, they had been influenced by Xia Ke, who had been their boss for the past two years. They used to relieve themselves anywhere in the broken temple, but now they knew to go to the outhouse behind the house.
"Um, Boss, I... I need to use the outhouse! Lower your voice, there’s an outsider here!"
Liangzi whispered awkwardly to Xia Ke, considering Xia Ke as a bold and righteous Brother Xia, making him even more embarrassed in front of He Lianyu, who was an outsider.
If he knew that the "boss" in front of him was actually a girl, he would probably have bitten off his tongue for what he just said!
This time, it was Xia Ke’s turn to blush. She was a genuine girl, how could she take Liangzi to use the outhouse?
"Well, why don’t you hold it for a while? I... I still have something to do..."
Xia Ke began to stutter, but Liangzi really couldn’t hold it any longer; otherwise, he wouldn’t have pushed himself to stand up.
Seeing Liangzi’s flushed face from holding it in, Xia Ke was helpless. In the whole broken temple, she was the only one strong enough to take Liangzi to the outhouse behind the house. The other little ones were too small; they all needed their older siblings to take them to the outhouse!
Wait!
Xia Ke’s eyes lit up as she suddenly thought of He Lianyu behind her. Wasn’t he the perfect free labor standing right in front of her?
"Ahem, Young Master Helian, you also realized earlier that you misunderstood me. I don’t need your apology or anything. Now there’s a chance for you to make amends, how about it? Now’s the time to show your sincerity."
He Lianyu, with his keen hearing, naturally overheard the conversation between Xia Ke and Liangzi. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help the little beggar to the outhouse, he just wondered why Xia Ke didn’t go herself.
He was clearly able to steal money for the little beggar, so why now was he avoiding him because he was dirty?
Seeing He Lianyu hesitating, Xia Ke thought he didn’t want to go and said, "Let me tell you, I stood up for Liangzi today. You misunderstood me, which means you misunderstood him. Now you need to apologize to him, not me. If you..."
"Let’s go!"
Before she could finish speaking, He Lianyu had already stepped forward to support Liangzi and carefully led him out.
Liangzi looked bewildered and at a loss, glancing at Xia Ke without even noticing he was out of step.
He couldn’t help it; wearing tattered clothes himself, while this young master was dressed in luxury and obviously no ordinary person, how could he let him help him to the outhouse?
Besides, the outhouse behind the house was really too dirty!
To avoid revealing her identity as a girl, Xia Ke never used the outhouse anywhere but at the Xia family, so she naturally wouldn’t know what the outhouse behind the house was like.
But if she did know, she wouldn’t go easy on him either, especially since He Lianyu had grabbed her by the back of the neck and given her stinky socks. He deserved such a punishment.
After a while, He Lianyu returned with Liangzi, his expression unchanged and not the least bit reduced in his manner toward Liangzi, while Liangzi’s face was full of embarrassment and gratitude.
Xia Ke raised an eyebrow. Who would have thought that this lavishly dressed young master was also a kind-hearted good person!
"Young Master Helian, thank you so much."
Liangzi, now lying back on the bed, was very grateful to He Lianyu: "I’m really sorry about dirtying your shoes. Why don’t you take them off, and I’ll have my sisters wash them for you later!"
As Liangzi said this, Xia Ke noticed some indescribable stuff on He Lianyu’s shoes. She couldn’t help but cover her nose with her hand.
He Lianyu remained calm, lightly smiled, and shook his head: "No need, I’ll clean them myself when I get back."
"Young Master Helian..."
Liangzi wanted to say more, but seeing He Lianyu’s determined expression, he gave up.
Xia Ke pursed her lips; wow, it only took a bathroom trip, and now he knows his surname is Helian, calling him Young Master Helian as if Brother Xia was just for show.
"I hear Liangzi says your surname is Xia?"
