Chapter 46

Although my aunt was inexperienced in such matters, she naturally knew what the stick-like object between a man’s legs was. She immediately withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted and instead elbowed me in the kidney.

I clutched my abdomen in pain but dared not make a sound, fearing my mother’s attention.

My aunt’s ears turned red, and I noticed through the mirror that the side of her face was also flushed. I knew she was on the verge of anger and didn’t dare to misbehave again. I stuck my hand in my pocket and pressed down on my penis, trying to keep it from being mischievous.

The elevator stopped floor after floor, and finally, when we reached the ground floor, my aunt eagerly rushed out with the crowd, not forgetting to give me a hard stamp on the foot before leaving. Fortunately, my aunt was wearing sneakers today, not her fiery red stilettos.

Even before leaving the housing estate, just going downstairs, I was already bruised all over. I had a premonition that this trip would not be smooth.

“Hey, why are you running so fast?” My mother finally squeezed out of the elevator but found that my aunt had already disappeared at the gate, calling out to her in vain. Feeling guilty, I pulled my suitcase and followed my mother, but before we reached the door, my aunt hurried back.

“Why are you running so fast? Are you afraid there won’t be seats? Hey, why is your face so red?” My aunt asked.

“It was too crowded in the elevator, and I felt suffocated. Give me the house keys; I forgot my sunglasses,” my aunt explained.

To make up for my mistake, I volunteered, “I’ll go! I’ll go!” Without waiting for my aunt to agree, I left the two suitcases and rushed back, only to find that the elevator had already ascended and was stopping at every floor on the way up.

I felt anxious and vaguely realized that I had forgotten something important. When I turned around, I saw my mother and aunt pulling their luggage and disappearing at the door. I forgot about saving a seat! I have to stay close to my mother to ensure I sit with her.

They didn’t even wait for me. But if I chased after them directly, I had already offended my aunt, and showing up empty-handed would make her even more furious, making her wait in the morning rush hour elevator line to fetch it herself. She would probably destroy me.

Thinking about it, at least I had Mi Huahua as a backup. Judging from her behavior that day, the little girl was still intelligent and should not cause the worst situation.

However, I didn’t have the time to wait for the elevator. I turned and rushed into the staircase, relying on the handrail to rush up to the twentieth floor in one breath, almost collapsing afterward. After searching for a while, I finally got my aunt’s aviator sunglasses from the bedside table and bounded down the stairs three steps at a time, rushing to catch the bus, but I was still a step too slow.

To my surprise, my mother was actually sitting with Mi Mingcheng. Mi Huahua was sitting angrily behind my aunt. I had actually had a glimmer of hope for her. The journey to Qiuling Village would take at least two or three hours. You should throw a tantrum and stick with your dad, dammit! When you yawn and lean your head, you can lean on Mi Mingcheng naturally, right? You don’t need me to teach you that, do you? You really don’t know anything.

I thought Mi Huahua was clever, and I’m glad I didn’t impulsively recruit her as an ally; otherwise, I’d have to worry about bullets from the back of my head.

My mother and Mi Mingcheng sat in the first row on the right, while my aunt sat in the fourth row on the left by the window, with her suitcase beside her. I wondered if she deliberately placed it there to prevent me from sitting there.

“Liangliang, you were pretty fast. Why are you breathing so heavily?” My mother was surprised at my speed and asked. She naturally knew what the elevator was like at this hour.

Seeing my gaze flicker between her and Mi Mingcheng, my mother explained, “Uncle Mi thought the view here was nice and asked me to introduce it to him. Why don’t you sit with your aunt or Mi Huahua?”

Mi Mingcheng smiled apologetically at me, which I saw as a provocation. What scenery could there be in this eighteen-line small city? I had to start considering making Mi Huahua “sit on my penis”!

Old Mi Mingcheng must have taken advantage of his image as someone who loves to travel everywhere and dragged my mother, a local, to explain the local customs to him. My mother couldn’t refuse easily because of the favor he did yesterday by “consulting” me and because she was just acting as a tour guide.

Mi Huahua’s mouth was almost puffed up like a pufferfish, suggesting she had protested but failed and was banished to the “frontier” two rows away. If I had been there, it wouldn’t have come to this!

Everyone was seated, and I couldn’t pull Mi Mingcheng out of his seat. If I were five years younger, I’d have the luxury of throwing a tantrum. However, my current goal was to shape the image of a mature man who could shield my mother from the wind and rain in her heart, not that of a child who follows her around and never grows up.

Swallowing my pride for now, I intended to sit with Mi Huahua. If anything happened, I’d have a hostage, right? But as I passed my aunt, she reached out and pushed a large suitcase in front of me.
