I’m Not Going to Be Bullied By a Girl-Chapter 357 – Rain Filled Street
Chapter 357 – Rain Filled Street
It turns out the French chef heard 005’s translation when I said his food was just okay. He was hurt and immediately wanted to jump off and kill himself. What an amazing sense of self-respect, Chinese chefs completely lose in this regard. In the end, two bodyguards had to stop him while I personally apologized and said his food was actually delicious.
A respectful reminder for you. If you ever have the chance to visit a French restaurant, please don’t criticize the chef. I heard from my dad that French chefs seem to have a tradition of committing suicide. During a banquet for Louis XIV, there was a chef who killed himself with his own sword because he was distraught over the lateness of the food. Between 1996 and 2003, there were two famous French chefs who killed themselves over bad reviews. (I only remember this because the cartoon Ratatouille used one of the chefs as the basis for one of the characters)
I guess the more romantic you are, the more sentimental you are. In France, a chef who doesn’t want to kill themselves isn’t a good chef!
After repeatedly entering the water, coming back on to the land, entering water, and getting back on to land, the RV finally arrived at a pedestrian entrance.
The walkway was paved with square stones about the same size of a slice of bread. They protruded out a bit so it was fine for people to walk over, but it would rock your vehicle if you tried to drive over it.
Even though the RV had great shock absorbers, Ai Mi still ordered them to park far away. All the bodyguards, including Peng TouSi, were instructed to keep watch on the RV and to not interfere with our ‘walk’.
What do you mean walk? We clearly have to trudge through a rainstorm, and if 005 is not there to hold the umbrella, then that means I have to carry it.
I held a large umbrella that had a size comparable to a satellite dish and walked forward against the wind. I tried to use the umbrella and my body to block the rain heading towards Ai Mi.
Ai Mi wasn’t satisfied even when she had such a diligent brother.
“Manservant, move your arm. I’m trying to enjoy the scenery, so don’t block my view, just focus on holding the umbrella.”
My arm is there to help block the rain! Do you not see how my sleeves are soaked? Besides, you can’t even distinguish if something is a person or an object ten meters away in this heavy rain, so how do you even enjoy the scenery?
Ai Mi quickly found her own joy and began walking jubilantly on the walkway. The rain between the paved stones were sent flying everywhere by her sandals.
It’s a good thing I’m still wearing my waterproof pants, otherwise it would have been turned into a splash art painting.
Even though I would always jump in puddles whenever I wore rain boots as a child, I decided against it today since it was embarrassing enough having your younger sister jump around.
I also had to drop my speed to prevent splashing water onto Ai Mi’s clothes.
“Ai Mi, slow down.” I called from behind, “You’ll catch a cold if you get soaked.”
“What’s so bad about a cold? I don’t even care even if I get pneumonia.”
Do you hate your acting work that you would rather get pneumonia than go to work?
All the stores and restaurants on the two sides of the pedestrian walkway were empty. There would usually be a lot of couples feeding each other on the benches near the brass sculpture, but it was empty today.
I mean, if anyone actually came out to do those stuff in a rainstorm, they should be sent to a research center to be investigated.
It seems the owner of a souvenir shop had stayed overnight in his store. He couldn’t head home in the morning and he’s not going to get any customers, so he began cleaning.
The store owner had a frightened expression as he saw me and Ai Mi pass his store while braving the rain. He almost knocked over a nearby matryoshka doll with the duster in his hand.
He must have thought Ai Mi was crazy. But as a family member, I had no choice but to follow along and be crazy together with her.
Through the store window’s reflection, I noticed 004 and 005 peek their heads out from around the street corner before going into hiding again.
It’s true that bodyguards shouldn’t follow too closely. They have some flaws, but it’s acceptable for them to follow along if they don’t feel at ease.
Ai Mi was originally enjoying her rain baptism, but her expression changed when she noticed 004 and 005.
“Didn’t I tell you to not follow us!” Ai Mi was furious, she took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and threw it on the ground. The yellow jade was blown into powder once it hit the ground and was washed away by the rain.
005 stuck out his head a bit: “Miss, there’s not a single person on the street. How would we protect you if we don’t follow you.”
Ai Mi pointed and scolded them: “It’s safer because there’s no one around! I hate having people around me, the manservant is enough, so get lost!”
004 shivered and discussed it a bit with 005.
Seeing as they didn’t follow her orders, Ai Mi wanted to find something to throw and vent her anger. But she realized she had nothing to throw, so she shifted her sights on me.ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢
“Manservant, give me your phone.”
“Do you want to make a call?”
“No, I want to break it.”
No, don’t break it, even if it’s a counterfeit and the screen is cracked, but it’s easy for me to use. With your temper, you probably break as much stuff as we sell in a year.
Ai Mi came over to grab my phone when I didn’t listen to her. I tried to balance the umbrella while keeping her away with one hand:
“Don’t break my phone, it’s not worth anything. It wouldn’t be as impressive as when you broke your bracelet.”
“I just like breaking things.” Ai Mi searched my body while I was inconvenienced by the umbrella. “You already said you loved me, but you won’t even let me break your phone?”
“Stop, it’s really ticklish…”
“Then hand over your phone. Also, hold the umbrella properly, don’t let my shoulders get wet.”
Didn’t you just say you like getting wet, but now you want me to block the rain? I would have already threw away the umbrella if you weren’t my sister.
004 and 005 decided to back off, so I guess it means they saved my cellphone from its untimely fate.
The rain got bigger and bigger as if it was to celebrate Ai Mi’s victory.
Ai Mi wandered around in the rain and her dress was already see-through, but she didn’t mind and began to hum the Only Happy When It Rains song.
I felt my phone vibrate and saw it was a text from Xiao Qin:
“Please don’t go outside today in this weather. Just lie in bed thinking about me, that’s how I’m passing my time while thinking about you~(@^_^@)~”
Ai Mi glanced at my phone. I was afraid she would break it, so I put it back in my pockets and guarded it with my hand.
“Who’s it from?” Although it’s not an accurate comparison, it feels like I’m being questioned by my jealous wife.𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
“It’s Xiao Qin, she told me to not go outside.”
“Hmph, are you still putting up with that violent girl?” Ai Mi mocked, “When are you going to break up with her? Don’t forget to call me when it happens, I want to watch her cry while eating chips.”
Every word in the sentence was filled with malicious intent. I thought your relationship got better after the food battle, but you still unilaterally want Xiao Qin to have bad luck.
I laughed inside: You wouldn’t get any benefits even if I break up with Xiao Qin.
Ai Mi was dissatisfied with my smile, “What are you smiling at? Did I say anything wrong? Or are you in a serious relationship with the violent girl?”
“How could I be in a serious relationship with Xiao Qin?” I denied it in a hurry, “But it doesn’t concern you whether or not she is my real girlfriend…”
“How does it not concern me?” Ai Mi’s eyebrows stood up at its ends, “As the lowest level of manservant, since you already said you’ll love me forever, that means you have to set clear boundaries with other girls.”
“Although… I won’t ever return your feelings, and I might like someone else, but you still have to endure it and stay as my manservant. You have to hide your unrequited feelings of love deep down inside while faking a happy smile!”
“Watching me be happy will make you happy. You should be able to achieve at least that if you said you love me.”
Wow, you really know how to oppress people. It’s a good thing I’m your brother and the only love between us is sibling love.
Ai Mi seemed to yearn for that kind of future. She put her hands behind her head and said while kicking at a puddle:
“If you’re going to stay by my side, then you can’t do anything to me either, otherwise it means you don’t really love me.”
“What’s up with that awkward smile, do you think it’s too cruel?”
“Since you already chose to love me, then it means you picked a difficult road to walk. Get prepared to use the rest of your life to keep your promise.”
“If you move me with your loyalty, then I might graciously bestow you a reward. So hold on to that tiny bit of hope and progress towards your goal, because one day….”
The rain got louder and drowned out the rest of her sentence, but then I faintly heard some different sounds coming from the side of the road.
