NOVEL WEB Chapter 4: Chapter 4; No, You aren't!
"You can change into that shirt!" He turned around to face the other side while he dragged the board, blocking the front passengers from peaking at the back, giving her some privacy.
Zhou Yuxi didn't question and hurriedly removed the wet uniforms and every cloth that was wet before tossing them into the streets, drying the parts of the car seat that were wet, and wearing the new shirt. It wasn't that long as it went over to her mid-thighs, almost closer to the knees, but still, those juicy thighs were exposed.
After that, she used the other towel to cover the remaining part of the thighs that was bare, she wasn't that naive and didn't want to seduce her Uncle. She had to be on her best behavior in front of him.
"I'm done...." She nervously responded, keeping her head bowed; Third Master Mu loudly sighed as he began rubbing that towel across her hair, drying it up.
"Zhou Yuxi, you do know you aren't a baby, how can you soak yourself under the rain like this? Shouldn't you be at home at this hour? Classes normally end at 4 pm." He was mad at his sister; he wouldn't blame Zhou Yuxi no matter what she did, she was still a kid in his eyes, and those grownups weren't responsible enough to be parents.
"Uncle, shouldn't you be at the airport this hour? What are you doing here?" She softly spoke up, her voice soft and mellow, it's been long since she last talked to him in this tone. He was slightly surprised that she knew he was flying out and immediately thought of his sister; he instantly discarded those doubts he had in mind. His sister knew his sudden move abroad and she could have told Zhou Yuxi.
"I was going over to see you before I went overseas for a few days business trip!" Seeing she wasn't throwing a tantrum, he was honest even though it wasn't a business trip but he had made up his mind to move there.
"Oohh... I'm sorry for delaying you!" She hoarsely spoke up, knowing he was lying to her; he was moving abroad forever; she could recall from her previous life that he had already sold everything in the country and moved abroad, coming back after around eight years.
Her eyes unknowingly watered, and this roughly tickled his heart; he felt heartache seeing those tear drops falling onto her lap like raindrops. He didn't know why, but seeing her in this pitiful state, he had a change of heart; he felt like there was little hope for him to stick around longer.
"I haven't scolded you but you are already crying! Where are you coming from? Don't you have any sense of safety? You are a little girl with a tiny body frame, how can you defend yourself against danger?" He gently pinched those cheeks while wiping her tears off. He had missed pinching them as seeing she wasn't insulting him, he went on pinching them a bit more finding them so smooth.
"Uncle, my cheeks will sag and I will look ugly if you continue to pinch them!" She pouted her lips, lifted her head, and coldly glared at him. But this earned a chuckle from Third Master Mu and everyone was seduced by that deep laughter that echoed inside the car. It's been three years since they last heard that laughter.
He found her act to be cute, and not that threatening at all!
"You won't become ugly and I won't allow it! Do you know what time it is? Where did you go? Who did you meet in the middle of the night?" He wanted to hear from her and not from his sister. He didn't think he would believe what his sister said.
"I overslept and forgot myself on top of my desk! By the time I woke up, I was all alone in the school vicinity! You can go and check out the school CCTV footage!" Gazing at him innocently, how could Third Master Mu not believe her, as much as they had fights and disagreements, he would always choose to believe her wholeheartedly.
"Okay, drive over to the Zhou mansion..." He instructed his guard, who was driving him, while he got a blanket from the car store pockets and covered her, seeing how she was trying to cover her thighs with that tiny towel.
"Uncle, I'm not delaying you, right?" She softly inquired while gazing at him with those adorable eyes that Third Master Mu would always feel fuzzy looking into.
"No! You aren't!" He gently ruffled her hair and seeing she wasn't covered enough, he removed his suit coat and let her wear it to keep her warm.
"Uncle, you will feel cold, I already have the blanket! You can wear that coat." Zhou Yuxi's heart softened like tofu! As much as she had treated him so badly for the last three years, he was still caring towards her.
