After speaking, Chu Ge continued on his way.
That's what he said, and that's what he thought. Even though he and Shu Lulu were considered old acquaintances, he always thought this girl was quite nice. But to be honest, he really didn't have a reason to involve himself in her life that much. He wasn't her father, after all. Everyone walks their own path, and sometimes even parents can't manage their kids.
That day, he didn't hear Luo Suyun say that sometimes not even she could manage Shu Lulu. This kid is so headstrong that she doesn't listen to anything.
Honestly, it's not just Shu Lulu. Chu Ge is like this, too. Not to mention when he was young, even now, if he gets stubborn, nothing anyone says will work. When one encounters something they deem important, who doesn't have a bit of stubbornness? Who doesn't have a little temper?
Ye Li stood in place, watching Chu Ge moving further away, then looked back at Shu Lulu, who had an angry face, caught in a dilemma.
Although it was her first time meeting Shu Lulu and they weren't really friends, and she did feel a twinge of jealousy when Shu Lulu acted intimate with Chu Ge, she couldn't just ignore the situation.
However, just when Ye Li was about to go persuade Shu Lulu, she saw Shu Lulu suddenly rush over, and she felt a sense of relief.
"Lulu, you…" Ye Li called out to Shu Lulu as she passed by, but Shu Lulu didn't respond, running straight past her towards Chu Ge.
"You scoundrel! Uncle! You big jerk!"
Having caught up with Chu Ge, Shu Lulu angrily punched him and then grabbed his arm, biting down on his hand.
Shu Lulu's bite was not light at all. Chu Ge frowned slightly but didn't say anything. After she released her bite, he glanced at the two rows of teeth marks on his hand, feeling both amused and helpless.
Earlier, it was Luo Suyun biting his shoulder, and now it was Shu Lulu biting his hand. Truly, like mother, like daughter.
"Are you a dog or something? Why bite me?" Shaking his hand, Chu Ge looked at the teary-eyed Shu Lulu, both annoyed and amused as he spoke.
"I just want to bite you! I want to bite you! After all, I'm your mistress! Someone wants to flirt with your mistress, and you don't care! What kind of person are you, you scoundrel! You big jerk!"
Shu Lulu pounded Chu Ge several more times, her little nose twitching as tears rolled down her face.
Ye Li came over at this point, her heart ached as she looked at Chu Ge's hand, but seeing Shu Lulu so upset, she didn't say much, just quietly stood to the side.
Chu Ge laughed, shaking his head helplessly.
"Don't you always say you're grown up? Since you're an adult, shouldn't you be responsible for your own actions? Besides, whether someone wants to flirt with you, or whether you want to be flirted with, that's entirely your own business, isn't it? You're not really my mistress, so what right do I have to interfere in this kind of matter?"
"I am! I am! I want to be your mistress!"
Saying this furiously, Shu Lulu jumped onto Chu Ge.
The corner of Chu Ge's mouth twitched. Does this girl have to say things so convincingly?
Full of exasperation, Chu Ge sidestepped, avoiding Shu Lulu, who ended up missing her jump and nearly falling to the ground.
Even though Shu Lulu almost fell, Chu Ge had no choice. If Shu Lulu had really jumped on him, she would surely take it further, and what if Luo Suyun saw that, what would it look like?
Shu Lulu never expected Chu Ge to dodge. Seeing that he actually moved away, she felt even more upset and grabbed his hand.
Chu Ge frowned and said, "Lulu, let go of me."
"No!"
"Come down quickly, or I'll flick your forehead, okay?"
"Go ahead! Flick all you want! I won't let go! No way!"
Chu Ge frowned even more and raised his hand, flicking Shu Lulu's forehead with a ''thunk''.
Although Chu Ge wouldn't be too harsh with Shu Lulu, he did put some force into it, and Shu Lulu let out a cry of pain.
Hearing Shu Lulu's cry, Chu Ge raised his big hand again, "Still not letting go?"
"Not letting go! Even if you kill me, I won't let go!"
Shu Lulu stubbornly replied, her lips pressed tightly together, set on her course.
Seeing Shu Lulu like this, to say that Chu Ge didn't feel a bit tender towards her would be a lie. The more stubborn Shu Lulu was, the more it showed his importance in her heart.
If before, Chu Ge simply thought of Shu Lulu as a little girl, now, to an extent, he was starting to see her as a woman, and he was truly a bit moved by her feelings.
However, to avoid future trouble and awkwardness, Chu Ge didn't want Shu Lulu to focus her thoughts on him anymore. After a moment of hesitation, he flicked his raised right hand onto Shu Lulu's forehead.
Chu Ge hit really hard, showing no leniency to Shu Lulu. Even though he felt he might have been a bit heavy-handed and felt a bit sorry for the young girl, he hardened his heart for his and Shu Lulu's sake.
Despite the pain, Shu Lulu didn't make a sound. Instead, she held Chu Ge's hand even tighter, using this behavior to prove her steadfast determination.
"Brother Chu...alright, Lulu, she's...she's still a child."
Shu Lulu gritted her teeth and endured it, while Ye Li, watching from the side, felt the pain and couldn't bear it, pleading for Shu Lulu.
At this point, Shu Lulu's temper flared up. She suddenly turned her head, glaring at Ye Li, and said, "You're the child! Aside from being younger than you, where else am I smaller than you? No need for you to pretend to be a good person here!"
Chu Ge initially didn't want to continue, but hearing Shu Lulu's unappreciative attitude towards Ye Li, he got a bit angry inside and flicked his finger onto Shu Lulu's forehead again.
"Saying you're like a dog is no injustice! You're just like the dog biting Lü Dongbin!"
"Brother Chu...let it go, she..."
A finger landed on Shu Lulu's forehead, and Chu Ge turned to look at Ye Li, full of reluctance, seeing she wanted to continue persuading him, said, "Ye Li, don't interfere. I want to see how long she can be stubborn with me!"
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Chu Ge's index finger fell down again and again, each sound crisp and clear, echoing far away. The group playing shuttlecock on the square had already stopped, looking in Chu Ge's direction, all stunned.
Every "bang" in the air made the corners of the eyes of those watching twitch, feeling pain just witnessing it, wondering how this guy could be so ruthless to such a delicate girl.
Shu Lulu was really in pain, yet she became more determined to sulk with Chu Ge. To avoid making a sound, she bit down on Chu Ge's shoulder, coincidentally exactly where Luo Suyun once bit him, no deviation in position.
Feeling the pain in his shoulder, Chu Ge almost found it laughable. If anyone claimed that Shu Lulu and Luo Suyun weren't mother and daughter, he would definitely argue with them.
Why on earth do both mother and daughter love biting people so much?
With a swift breath, Chu Ge cast aside these chaotic thoughts. The fact remained that he didn't want his life turned into a mess by Luo Suyun and Shu Lulu. This potential trouble needed to be nipped in the bud; he couldn't let Shu Lulu keep clinging to him.
Chu Ge raised his fingers, letting them fall again, and again they rose and fell.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Nobody knew how many times he flicked, but finally, Chu Ge could no longer bear to let his raised finger fall again.
"Lulu, come down. I won't flick you anymore. Let's have a proper talk, alright?"
Chu Ge sighed, rubbing his forehead with the hand that had flicked Shu Lulu many times.
Shu Lulu remained silent, biting tightly onto Chu Ge's shoulder, her nose twitching, and tears streaming down.
Meanwhile, the people in the small square, seeing Chu Ge stop, all felt a sense of relief. Peng Yu bit his lip, took several deep breaths, and nervously walked bit by bit towards Chu Ge, thinking this was an opportunity, a chance to win over Shu Lulu.
"You...let go of Lulu! Hit Lulu, and I'll...I'll kill you!" Peng Yu pointed at Chu Ge's nose, trying to sound fierce but with more courage than conviction.
Chu Ge didn't have the time to bother with this kid, completely ignoring Peng Yu. Unexpectedly, Shu Lulu, who had been flicked on the forehead so many times, suddenly let go of Chu Ge's shoulder, turned and suddenly spoke.
"No need for you to meddle! I'm willing to take the hit! My uncle hitting me is showing love! What do you know!"
Seeing Shu Lulu's resolute expression, Peng Yu felt like a clown, his mouth twitching twice, but he couldn't say anything, nodding slightly, gave Chu Ge a deep look, and turned to leave.
Chu Ge felt a headache coming on, sighing inwardly. Although he knew Shu Lulu was interested in him, he didn't expect her persistence to border on stubbornness. Reflecting on how many times he had flicked Shu Lulu's forehead, he knew it was all in vain, feeling truly sorry in his heart.
Looking at Shu Lulu's tear-streaked profile, Chu Ge nearly softened his heart, but he immediately realized that if he softened now, it would only be more trouble in the future. He had to sever Shu Lulu's feelings for him today.
Thinking for a moment, Chu Ge came up with a rather helpless strategy.
"Lulu, I have a girlfriend now. Stop having these wild ideas about me."
As soon as Chu Ge said this, Shu Lulu was stunned, and so was Ye Li; both girls felt their hearts suddenly clench.
Realizing this, Shu Lulu quickly shook her head, "I don't believe it. Where is your girlfriend? Who is she?"
Though Ye Li remained silent, she subconsciously bit her lip, her hands twisting together, the joints turning slightly white without her noticing.
