Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

"Shameful? Qian Xiuyai, that's a book from my study. You sneaked into my study, took it, and gave it to a child. Now you're twisting the truth here. The one who should be ashamed is you!!"

Qian Xiuyi was even angrier at Qian Xiuya's lecturing tone. He hated it most when Qian Xiuya spoke to him in such a tone. The other party was only born an hour earlier than him, they were born on the same day, and received the same education from childhood. What right did he have to lecture him as an elder?!

At this moment, the classmate who had come back with Qian Xiuyi finally understood what had happened and quickly stood up to testify for Qian Xiuyi.

“Big Money, Little Money’s words may not be pleasant, but they are true. We really did see this book in his study!”

One of the female students couldn't help but speak first.

"Yes, yes, we've met before!"

All the classmates echoed her sentiments, and Qian Xiuyi glanced at Qian Xiuya with a mocking look on her face.

"I have so many witnesses here, you have nothing to say now, right?"

Qian Xiuya was taken aback. The expressions of his classmates did not seem fake. He could not believe Qian Xiuyi's words, but so many classmates could prove that the book in the child's arms belonged to Qian Xiuyi without any prior collusion. The situation suddenly became much more credible.

Without saying a word, Yu Liu silently observed the situation and secretly took out the book that had been placed between the two people and stuffed it into her own arms.

Sensing her movement, Qian Xiuya looked down at the child in his arms, feeling a headache coming on.

The other child is only two or three years old. At this age, she still needs her parents. The one in her arms was abandoned by her parents for some reason, which is already pitiful enough. She doesn't understand anything now. Even if the book that Qian Xiuyi wanted really was taken by the child, if she asks the child for it back, the child may not understand that she has done something wrong. On the contrary, her behavior will hurt the child's feelings.

"What? Are you planning not to return the book to me?"

Seeing that Qian Xiuya still didn't reach out and take the book from the child's arms despite the conclusive evidence, Qian Xiuyi sneered, her determination to get the book back growing stronger.

Although finding this book took a lot of effort, having longed for the life of a martial arts master for so long, he understood to some extent that these martial arts manuals circulating outside might not actually allow one to fly over rooftops and disappear without a trace as described in the stories. Therefore, Qian Xiuyi didn't actually value this book that much. It was only now that the book was in Qian Xiuyai's hands that his competitive spirit was aroused, and he became even more determined to get his hands on it. The more Qian Xiuyai refused to give him the book, the more Qian Xiuyi wanted to get it back.

“I have never been to your study, so there is no way I could have taken your book.” Seeing Yu Liu’s defensive movements, Qian Xiuya did not dare to reach for the book in her arms. He raised his head and said another guess: “Baby brought this book here by herself. She is only two or three years old. There are guards outside the study. She could not have gone to your study. Perhaps this is just another book that is exactly the same as yours. After all, books are usually not printed in only one copy.”

What he said made sense. All the students present looked at Qian Xiuyi. Qian Xiuyi glared at Qian Xiuya fiercely, turned around and left. The students looked at each other, not knowing whether they should leave or not. They ended up in the main hall.

Qian Xiuyai knew that Qian Xiuyi had probably gone back to his study to check the book in his study. He held Yu Liu and sat back down in his original chair.

"Baby, tell me the truth, after you sneaked into the manor, did you only come here, or did you go to other places?"

Qian Xiuya felt he needed to ask, otherwise he would be embarrassed if something else was missing later.

Yu Liu tilted her head to look at Qian Xiuya, her eyes already showing affection, but her grip on the book tightened, as if she didn't intend to let go: "This book is the one from that person's study..."

This cannot be hidden. Qian Xiuyi has already gone back to check, and soon she will find out. There is no point in Yu Liu being stubborn anymore.

She looked at Qian Xiuyai and said, word by word, "I don't want to return the book to him!"

His tone was resolute, and his face showed that he would never let go.

Qian Xiuyai felt his head was throbbing even more. Why had he even thought of keeping this little girl? She was only two or three years old, yet she was already causing so much trouble. She stole someone's book and then brazenly kept it. If he really kept her, Qian Xiuyai felt he could already foresee all sorts of headaches he would have about her education in the future.

Although the two of them were whispering, the main hall was only so big, and the students standing awkwardly to the side naturally heard their conversation, and their gazes immediately carried a strange feeling.

Qian Xiuyai wasn't the type of person who cared about what others thought. He lowered his head and continued to ask Yu Liu, "Can you tell me why you don't want to return the book to him?"

When facing that person, Yu Liu would always be a little willful. In addition, since the other party obviously treated her like a two or three-year-old child, Yu Liu simply used a child's logic: "I don't like him, he's annoying! He just tried to push you and grab me! I don't want to give the book back to him!"

The more he talked, the tighter he hugged the book.

Qian Xiuyai was somewhat helpless, but he had to admit that what Bao Bao said was right. Qian Xiuyi was really annoying, but that couldn't be a reason for Bao Bao to steal someone else's book and not return it.

“Baby, listen to me. Your dislike for him and your refusal to return the book are two different things. He bought the book, so it rightfully belongs to him. You can’t just take other people’s books. That’s stealing, which is a very bad thing. If others find out, they will hate you just like you hate him. Baby, do you want to become that kind of person?”

"I don't want to, but this book is mine!"

Yu Liu hugged the book tightly, tilted her head, and looked unreasonable. She simply didn't want to return the book to Qian Xiuyi. She didn't want to associate with someone like Qian Xiuyi!

"Didn't I already tell you? This book was bought by Qian Xiuyi, so it belongs to him. If you don't return it to him, I'm not going to want you anymore! I don't want to raise a child who steals!"

These words were rather harsh. Qian Xiuya had no choice but to do so. Yu Liu was too stubborn and wouldn't listen to reason. No matter how he tried to persuade her, she insisted that the book belonged to her. In Qian Xiuya's view, this idea was very dangerous because once a child believed that something was right, it would be difficult to change her mind.
