Little T Lurking in the Beauty Salon, What's the Purpose of All the Flirting? - Chapter 1

Lao Mi leaned back on the sofa, staring at Xixi. Yes, it’s me. Long time no see.

When did you two start?

Didn’t she tell you? The last time was… yesterday evening, right, Xiao Taohong? I’m not mistaken, am I? Lao Mi and Xixi both turned to look at me, and I felt so embarrassed I wanted to crawl into the shoe cabinet.

Are you doing this on purpose? Xixi’s voice was barely a whisper. Suddenly, I wished she would beat Lao Mi to a pulp—I’d definitely help her! Her quiet demeanor frightened me more than any outburst.

Don’t you understand? You’ll never have anything. Nothing belongs to you, Lao Mi said, her eyes reddening as if she were having some kind of fit.

I’ve always understood. I just didn’t want to believe it. Xixi handed Lao Mi a tissue. Mi Xiaonan, does playing these games make you happy?

Yes, since Qiqi’s accident, I haven’t felt this happy.

How many times do I have to say it? This has nothing to do with me! Xixi’s voice finally rose slightly.

If it weren’t for you…

Mi Xiaonan, shut up! Xixi turned and stormed out of the house. I chased her to the elevator, where she frantically pressed the down button. Before I could speak, tears streamed down her face as she stared at the elevator doors. Xiao Taohong, she sobbed, I used to hit you because I was afraid I couldn’t keep you. I was afraid you’d run away… But starting today, I’ll never hit you again. Because now I think you’re just… dirty.

I froze. The elevator doors opened, and Xixi wiped her tears and slipped inside. By the time I snapped out of my daze, the doors had already closed and the elevator was descending.
