Transmigrating into a Book: Beating Up the Little Tyrant Today

"I know you don't have the ability, I'll take care of the tickets."

Aunt Qian listened meekly as Qiu Shiyue finished scolding her, and left without taking her things.

She sat in the chair, waiting for the next bus to arrive.

Aunt Li called: "Fang, that girl came to see you, right? What do you think? I still have a way."

Aunt Qian gave a vague reply.

"You want to see her but don't dare, and you don't dare to give her the gift in person. What's so shameful about it? You're not afraid she won't take the gift, it's not like she wants money. Hey, you gave her the gift, didn't you? Isn't she happy?"

"Yes, that's right, I'm very happy, she thanked me."

Aunt Li said, "I just heard that she's been contacting you because her parents divorced and she's heartbroken. She feels close to you. Don't disbelieve me, she told the coach herself. I usually feel that she's not very nice to you, maybe she's just shy and doesn't dare to express herself. Maybe I should adopt her as a goddaughter sometime..."

Aunt Qian listened silently as the broken jar tore the plastic bag, and more soup spilled out.

-

Without Aunt Qian around, Qiu Shiyue received far fewer preferential treatments.

She no longer gets an extra spoonful of her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, nor does Aunt Qian prepare a full bowl of egg drop soup in advance, and even on rainy days, there's no more pear soup.

Qiu Shiyue always complains while eating.

It's all Aunt Qian's fault for refusing to mention Blizzard. Now look what's happened, there's no one left to share the blame.

She held chopsticks and a spoon, the stainless steel material scraping against the plate with a loud, grating sound.

The cafeteria was empty with few people eating. Blizzard was a few tables away from the front and back rows, so the sound traveled very fast. Blizzard felt like his ears were being bullied.

"If you're not going to eat it, don't serve it. What good will poking do?"

Qiu Shiyue glared at her, and just then noticed that the piece of minced meat and tofu on her plate seemed to have more minced meat than her own, and she instantly felt unhappy.

"Why do you have more minced meat and bigger tofu pieces than me? Did you get preferential treatment?"

"I'm telling you, you're being really ridiculous." Blizzard couldn't find a suitable expression to face her anymore. "It's not like you're cooking with calipers. How can you make the minced meat and tofu into perfectly even pieces? If you want some, just go get some more. Why are you acting so crazy towards me?"

Qiu Shiyue pushed the plate in front of her and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Then go and make me a new one."

Blizzard is so surprised they don't even need to eat right now.

"You're so spoiled. You're so shameless. You probably don't need to buy dishcloths to wash the pots at home anymore."

"You owe me this!"

If it weren't for you, Aunt Qian wouldn't have had to leave at all. If she hadn't left, she would definitely have come running over to exchange one for me right now. No, she wouldn't have had the chance to exchange it at all; she would have prepared the biggest one in advance for herself.

Blizzard finished the last bite of rice and wiped his mouth.

"You don't have the life of a princess, but you have the illness of one. Remember to change your fortune slip to this; it suits you perfectly."

Blizzard picked up her tray and was about to leave when she realized the dormitory lights were broken. Someone was supposed to come and fix them this afternoon, and Sasha hadn't eaten yet, so she was waiting in the dormitory. She also needed to bring Sasha some things back.

Sigh, I wonder if Sasha can handle it all by herself.

Lost in thought, Qiu Shiyue slowly extended her foot as she approached.

As the blizzard drew ever closer, Qiu Shiyue's heart pounded with anxiety as she watched her step.

Getting closer!

Three steps, two steps, one step!

"what!"

Blizzard has been successfully tripped up.

But why was she the one covered in leftover food and scraps?!

Qiu Shiyue didn't dare to open her mouth to scream, because if she did, the soup would flow down her bangs into her mouth.

Blizzard looked worried, "Oh dear, what should we do? What's going on?"

Aunt Li brought a towel out of the window. "Oh dear, what happened?"

While apologizing, Blizzard explained, "I was walking along, thinking about something, when I walked past Qiu Shiyue, a foot suddenly appeared out of the ground, and I wasn't paying attention when it hit me..."

She feigned surprise: "Hey, you didn't mean to trip me, did you? How mean of you! What if I lost my balance and fell, and I still have chopsticks in my hand? What if I poked my eye? You're so malicious!"

"I didn't!" Qiu Shiyue hurriedly explained, then spat out several mouthfuls of soup three times.

"No? How could that be? Otherwise, how could I have walked away so peacefully..."

Qiu Shiyue stood up abruptly.

Whether out of guilt or simply because she couldn't stand Aunt Li wiping her face with a towel of unknown purpose, she ran away in a flash, leaving a trail of footprints behind her.

Aunt Li sighed repeatedly.

Blizzard took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the juice off the tables and chairs.

Aunt Li stopped her, saying, "Let me do it, let me do it. I don't know how much paper we'll use to wipe it. I'll clean it up later."

"Thank you, Aunt Li."

Blizzard picked up her tray again and headed towards the window, just as she heard Aunt Li casually remark behind her, "What a mess, I don't even know what's so similar about her..."

Blizzard unconsciously slowed down his pace and the speed at which he served the food.

After packing up the food, she caught up with Aunt Li, who had just finished cleaning the floor and was taking a mop to the back of the cafeteria to wash it. She jogged after her.

"Aunt Li."

"Hey, what's wrong, kid?"

Blizzard said softly, "I didn't mean to just now. Also, I'm very sad about Aunt Qian's passing, but I don't know how to help her."

Aunt Li said, "She's just getting senile."

Qian Fang didn't explain the matter to her in detail, only that she seemed to have put the wrong thing into the pot.

Blizzard said, "Before Aunt Qian left, she told me to take good care of Qiu Shiyue. I'm clumsy and didn't take good care of her. I feel really sorry for her."

Aunt Li asked in confusion, "You know about this?"

Blizzard didn't dare to tell the truth, saying, "We only know that much, and we don't dare to ask any more questions."

Aunt Li paused for a moment, then sighed, "I've lived decades longer than you, and I've seen all kinds of people. I know that Xiao Qiu all too well. She takes advantage of looking like Qianqian to make Qian Fang distance herself from you. She has no choice."

Qianqian?

Blizzard has spotted a name.

She carefully chose her words, "Everyone has people they care about, I understand."

Seeing that Aunt Li was no longer offering any useful information, Blizzard said goodbye and left.

As Blizzard passed by the sapling where something was buried, he noticed what appeared to be a faint handprint.

But when they covered the soil, they used an iron shovel to pat it down, not their hands.

Could it be that someone dug it up and then covered it with soil again, leaving these marks?

With Aunt Li behind him, Blizzard didn't linger and planned to come back another time.

Aunt Li suddenly called out to her and walked up to her.

"Qian Fang felt very guilty and thought she had let you down. She didn't dare to get close to you for fear of making Xiao Qiu angry, and she didn't even dare to say sorry to you in person."

"It was all her fault for cutting in line last time, and you didn't hold it against her. I didn't expect you to think of helping her when she got into trouble. You're such a good kid."

Blizzard chuckled dryly; she was just trying to get information out of her.

Aunt Li said, "Since that's the case, I'll shamelessly ask you for a favor on her behalf."
