Abstinence Admiral Don't Bite, the Softer Mermaid Top Thug

Chapter 109 They scolded you, Dad, why didn’t you explain?
Jing Xiaoyu's face lit up with joy and she said, "Thank you, sister." She immediately rolled up her sleeves, found the right tools in the toolbox on the ground, and started to repair it.

At first, A Miao just stood aside and watched as if to watch a show, but the more he watched, the more surprised he became.

The little girl seemed to really treat the truck as a simple toy to assemble. Not only was every step of the repair precise, but she even skipped several tedious steps that she didn't know about, replacing them with simpler and more effective methods.

As he watched, A Miao went from being skeptical at first to slowly showing an expression of appreciation.

She knew that the child came from an extraordinary family and was probably running away because of some difficulties at home. However, she didn't care about that, as long as she could recruit useful helpers.

Just like that, after the tire was repaired, A Miao agreed to keep Jing Xiaoyu.

Jing Xiaoyu was also very diligent. In the afternoon, A Miao settled his wages in advance and said that she was going to close the shop and go to the market to buy some things.

Jing Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask, "Do we have to go through the pier?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

Jing Xiaoyu thought about how he hadn't seen his father eat anything before he left home that morning, and wondered if he had remembered to eat outside. So he asked, "Sister A Miao, can you give me a ride too? I want to take food to Dad."

"Your father works at the docks?"

Jing Xiaoyu nodded, and seeing Sister A Miao waving at him to get in the car, he quickly put the star coins he had earned today into his schoolbag and left in Sister A Miao's car.

When they arrived near the pier, Jing Xiaoyu waved goodbye to Sister A Miao, carried his schoolbag and went to the restaurant nearby, found a table and sat down.

He was studying the menu to see what to buy when he suddenly heard two children who looked about his age sitting in the seat in front of him, each holding a toy and attacking each other from a distance.

Jing Xiaoyu was just looking over out of curiosity, but when he saw what the little boy sitting right in front of him was holding, his expression suddenly changed.

The little boy was holding a robotic doll in his hand. The doll was wearing a familiar warship uniform. On its head was a large sign with a few words clearly printed on it:

[Traitorous dog Lu Lianbai]

The little boy was holding a robotic doll and, as if he were dubbing for it, he deliberately let out a disgusting dog bark. This provoked another child holding a small toy battleship to chase after him. The child then smashed the toy battleship on the robotic doll's head, shouting viciously, "Kill you, you traitorous dog! Kill you! Kill you!"

Jing Xiaoyu clenched her hands into fists, unable to calm down at all. She stood up and rushed over, snatching the little boy's mechanical doll away with her little hands.

Ignoring the little boy's angry shouts, he was about to break off the broken sign on the mechanical doll, but the next second, the mechanical doll in the little hand was pulled away by a slender hand behind him.

Jing Xiaoyu raised his head with red eyes and saw Lu Lianbai standing behind him, one hand slowly pressing on his little shoulder. He calmly returned the mechanical doll to the little boy and said "I'm sorry". Then, when Jing Xiaoyu opened his mouth to speak, he took Jing Xiaoyu out of the restaurant.

Lu Lianbai held the cub's hand and walked towards the cargo ship at the dock. However, halfway through, Jing Xiaoyu couldn't hold it in any longer. He pulled his hand away and asked, "Why does Daddy have to apologize to them?"

Before Lu Lianbai could say anything, Jing Xiaoyu clenched his fists angrily and said, "They scolded you like that, Dad, why didn't you explain? Dad is obviously not like that!"

He was so angry when he heard those words, not to mention what would happen if his mother heard them. However, his father was not only indifferent, but also apologized to the two children!
It was as if Dad had heard words like this thousands of times and had become accustomed to them.

Thinking of this, Jing Xiaoyu felt even more aggrieved.

But Lu Lianbai just fell silent and looked down at him, "Can't stand it anymore?" Jing Xiaoyu sniffed, "What?"

"Go back to where you belong, and you won't hear such words again."

After hearing this, Jing Xiaoyu raised her little hand and fiercely wiped away her tears, furious: "All you do all day is chase me away. Does mom know that this is how you treat my father? Go ahead and leave! I don't care about you!"

Jing Xiaoyu left without even looking back.

Lu Lianbai did not chase after him to coax the kid. He returned to the freighter and unloaded the cargo as usual until the last box of cargo was unloaded ashore. After the inventory was completed, Lu Lianbai rode his motorcycle back to the slums.

As soon as he opened the iron gate and entered the house, Lu Lianbai stopped.

The little fish cub who had threatened to leave during the day was now sitting at the table, his two little hands flat on the table. When he saw him come back, he pushed the food he had bought towards him with a cold face and said, "Eat."

"..."

Lu Lianbai looked at the kid, washed his hands, and then sat back down. He glanced at the food placed in front of him and asked, "Are you picking up trash again?"

"...I have many ways to make money. Even if I don't pick up trash, I can still earn money to feed my dad."

Jing Xiaoyu said this with a frown on her face, and reluctantly gave herself a way out. "I'll forgive Dad this time. If Dad makes me angry again next time, I'll definitely complain to Mom when she comes."

I don’t know what sentence made Lu Lianbai amused. Although Lu Lianbai still didn’t say anything, the arc of his lips was obviously and slightly curved.

After putting the cub to sleep at night, a message popped up on the communicator on his body -

【It's done. When can I pick it up? 】

Lu Lianbai replied with two words, turned off the communicator, and turned his head to look at the little cub who was sleeping soundly.

The next morning, after Lu Lianbai finished feeding the baby fish, he went out as usual. However, this day he did not go directly to the dock to work, but turned and went to a house in the upper city.

Along the way, Lu Lianbai could vaguely feel that a figure was following him, but he didn't care.

After arriving at the place, Lu Lianbai took out a thick stack of envelopes from the lining of his coat and rang the bell outside the house.

After a while, a woman holding a child opened the door and walked out. Seeing Lu Lianbai, her face turned cold in an instant, and she opened her mouth with one word: "Money."

Lu Lianbai handed the envelope over. The woman took it, opened it, counted the pieces, and without saying a word to Lu Lianbai, she slammed the door shut.

Lu Lianbai seemed to be accustomed to this, his face remained indifferent as usual. Just as he was about to get in the car and leave, he saw Nan Ya coming out from the corner.

Nan Ya looked at him and started sarcastically, "You drive your own child away every day. I thought you really couldn't bear to let Xiaoyu suffer with you! But you secretly used the money you earned to support other women and children. I think the truth is that you don't want Xiaoyu to spend your money! It's a pity that Xiaoyu trusted you so much. She was still worried about you even after you drove her away several times!"

"I'm going to take Xiaoyu back to find His Highness now!"
