Volume 1: When I Was Young Chapter 4: Responsible for You

  But Xia Zhi is still Xia Zhi, although he's at an age where it's easy to be impulsive and have fantasies, he has been restraining himself very well. Whether or not Liu Xiahui can do the same is unknown, but facing this War General who accidentally revealed a hint of charm in his jokes, this self-control is sufficient.

  Recovering his calm demeanor, Xia Zhi tapped the top of Zhang Doudou's head and shook his own head in resignation before turning around to ride off on his bicycle.

  "Xia Zhi, brother, are you angry?" Xia Zhi's rare silence made Zhan Zhu Zhu a bit uneasy, and he leaned in closer to look at the back of his head and profile: "I kissed you when I was little too, you didn't get angry."

  Yes, she also knew that since childhood, when she was still a little milk doll, she would know to rely on him and kiss him with a mouthful of saliva all over his face, but this doesn't include lips! Moreover, after he turned ten, he had already been very careful not to be entwined by the sticky and clingy bear.

  "You're grown up now." Xia Zhi's gentle and soft words floated away in the wind, and Zhān Dòu, who was familiar with his temper, immediately knew that Big Brother Xia Zhi was a bit unhappy.

  Stop this serious discussion at once, Zhan Zhuo Zhuo started to giggle and smile: "Xia Zhi gege, hehe, this is my first kiss, you have to take responsibility for me, marry me, marry me."

  With both hands grasping his shoulders, she swayed back and forth, and the bicycle began to slither on the road. Xia Zhi listened to her coquettish and playful words, feeling both annoyed and amused: "I'm also a first kiss, shouldn't I hold you responsible too?"

  First kiss? Zhan's eyes lit up instantly, Xia Zhi's first kiss? Look what she found! Nodding like a garlic, afraid that Xia Zhi would regret: "Okay okay, I'll take responsibility, I'll take responsibility! Xia Zhi brother you just marry me! I promise for the rest of my life to only pamper you alone! How about it?"

  Without turning back, Xia Zhi stretched out his hand and easily hit the top of Zhang Doudou's head. In the night wind, Xia Zhi smiled lightly and couldn't help but think of using Xia Feihan's catchphrase:

  "Can I say die roll?"

  "Wow, Xia Zhi Gege, how did you learn from Xia Bu Leng's bad habits!" Warmed up and shouted loudly. The god-like Xia Zhi Gege, how could he be invaded by Xia Fei Han's demonic aura? "No way!"

  "What summer is not cold, called Fei Han Gege!" Xia Zhi couldn't help but put on a serious face to educate him, but the slightly twitching facial muscles showed that he was also holding back a smile. He and Xia Feihan looked like identical twins on the surface, but in reality, they were poles apart in terms of personality. Feihan was absolutely an oddball in the family, with a personality that was exactly opposite to his name - cold as ice, always silent and expressionless at home, only bursting into flames when it came to fighting... Hmm, so everyone in the family enjoyed watching Feihan erupt like a volcano from time to time.

  "I just called him Brother Fei Han, you also heard it, and his response to me was 'get out'. Xie Yunyun raised her proud little chin: "He can't bear such a grand title." It's better to call him Xia Bu Leng or Brother Bu Leng, which is already very respectful to him."

  "What he meant by 'get lost' is that you wanted to lay hands on his beloved car." Xia Zhi pointed out the problem. As they spoke, they had already arrived at War's residence - her little aunt's house downstairs. The War family's martial arts school was not in the city center, but in the suburbs near Mangshan, and War had temporarily borrowed a place to stay with her little aunt near the school so that she could be close to Xia Zhi and Qiu Shui, only returning home once a week.

  "Hey, Xia Zhi gege, why are you riding so fast?" Zhang Doudou let out an exaggerated sigh, reluctantly got off the bicycle, and gazed at Xia Zhi with big, shining eyes that quickly turned mysterious: "Want a goodbye kiss?"

  "Alright." Xia Zhi's expression didn't change, still smiling as he looked at her.

  "Oh yeah!" Warmed up and ready to pounce, but was stopped by a finger on the forehead: "Xia Zhige, what are you doing?" Didn't we agree?

  "'I haven't finished speaking yet,' Xia Zhi's smile gave Zhan Zhu Zhu a bad premonition: 'A farewell kiss, and after the kiss, I'll say goodbye to you completely. In the future, sending you home will be left to Fei Han to take care of.'"

  "What does it mean?" Zhan Zhan was stunned, wow, Xia Zhige's elegant and refined appearance had already made him infatuated, how could this smile be so charming like a little fox? He was about to faint again!

  "My point is, if you dare to come again suddenly and do something that a little girl shouldn't do, I won't care about you anymore." Threatening the little girl like this seemed a bit excessive, but Xia Zhi had no choice. If he didn't put a stop to this kissing business today, he estimated that in two days' time, he would probably see her so-called "surprise" in his own bed.

  As he thought of this, Xia Zhi's mind couldn't help but wander, his gaze following the beautiful pink lips down to the smooth and elegant neck, to the pretty collarbone, to... the flat chest... Xia Zhi's face slightly reddened, what was he thinking, how could he have such improper thoughts about a little girl. It must be because of Tangtang's earlier behavior being too unseemly...

  In the dim light, she couldn't see Xia Zhi's facial expression change, but his strange eyes still made her feel a bit of eerie danger. Was Xia Zhi's brother really angry? But she couldn't go against her conscience and agree to him under his overbearing pressure. Without rebelling, how could she possibly have the chance to get close to Xia Zhi's brother, let alone fulfill the great dream of becoming Xia Lao Ye's daughter-in-law?

  Her eyes darted back and forth for a moment, then she lowered her head very honestly and sincerely: "Mm, I'll definitely not do things that little girls shouldn't do from now on." Or maybe do things that big girls shouldn't do when still at the age of a little girl, or wait until she grows up a bit and leaves the category of little girls to do some things that are not suitable for minors. Hehe.

  "Hmm, that's more like it." Although she was a bit puzzled as to how Shan Zhan could be so obedient all of a sudden, Xia Zhi decided to just drop the matter. Today her own state of mind seemed a bit off:

  "Hurry up and go upstairs, tomorrow is school day again, final exams are coming soon."

  "...... Xia Zhi, brother, can you help me with the test questions?" As soon as the exam was mentioned, Zhang Doudou's face fell again. It wasn't that she wasn't clever, but her energy was too scattered, and she couldn't calm down like Li Qiu: "My dad said if I don't get into the top 50 in our grade, he'll make me stay home and study..." With about 150 people in a grade, the requirement of being in the top 50 wasn't that high. Zhang's father also had another sentence, which was that at such a young age, she shouldn't be shamelessly chasing after men... Wasn't she trying to secure a good son-in-law for the Zhang family?

  "You should go and discuss this with Fei Han."
