Chapter 20.2

Chu Xiaoyi curiously said, “When did she say that she didn’t want to make peace with you?”

Chu Xiaoxiao stifled, “She doesn’t like me, and I also don’t want to like her.”

When Chu Xiaoxiao first met Ms. Mei, the other party was a little repulsive to her.  When she corrected her grammar problem last time, the other party grew even more hostile to her.

At the beginning of the new semester, the other side was still disgusted with her. Chu Xiaoxiao was extremely sensitive to others’ emotions; no one could ever try to fool her. Even if Ms. Mei had a smile on her face, she knew that the other party was annoyed with her.

Chu Xiaoyi laughed cryingly at her childish answer, “How do you know she doesn’t like you?”

Chu Xiaoxiao insisted, “I just know it.”

When Chu Xiaoyi heard her insistent tone, he suddenly recalled the scene when he first arrived home. He was sure that he hadn’t shown his displeasure then, but the little thing still sensed his emotions and accused him of being hypocritical.

Well, children may really live intuitively. They had their own keen sense of smell and resisted the presence of people who made them uncomfortable.

Chu Xiaoyi squatted down until he was at eye level with his sister. He advised good-naturedly, “But didn’t you say that I hated you at first? Don’t we have a good relationship now?”

Chu Xiaoyi was sure that people were animals that change through time, and first impressions usually don’t last that long.

Chu Xiaoxiao huffed. She glanced at him inexplicably and blurted out, “Really?”

Her face was filled with suspicion as she looked at him in amazement. It looked as if she was looking at a delusional clown.

“……”

Chu Xiaoyi immediately gaslighted himself and decisively said, “Yes, of course! I know you’re just shy to say it. But in fact, that’s what your heart feels!”

My sister is just not good at expressing herself like dad, but she still loves me dearly!

Chu Xiaoxiao hesitantly asked, “Why are you……happy?”

Chu Xiaoyi did not want to dwell on the question of “Does my sister have me in her heart?”, but instead enticed, “Because of this, the teacher may not seem to like you now. But, maybe if you communicate with her properly, she will become fond of you. Just like me, right?”

Chu Xiaoyi didn’t know how to deal with her at first, but didn’t they become closer after they communicated with each other?

Chu Xiaoxiao, however, showed the calmness of a dude as she uttered lines like a male protagonist in an idol drama, “You are my family, but she has nothing to do with me. I don’t need her to like me.”

“……”

Why are you so domineering? You don’t even know how to show pity for the fairer sex like those presidents in romance novels?

But, Chu Xiaoyi still tried his luck, “……So are you admitting that we have a pretty good relationship?”

Chu Xiaoxiao stared at him incredulously, “Why do you still keep thinking about this!”

She thought bitterly for a moment and finally made a concession. She muttered, “Well, since you helped me brush my raincoat ……”

This cheap brother can at least still brush my raincoat, so he isn’t completely useless.

After Chu Xiaoyi finished communicating with his sister, he found out that she had small ideas in her heart. Because he was one of her relatives, she divided him clearly from others.

Even if she was slightly annoyed occasionally, she still had a high tolerance level for him. However, Ms. Mei was not in Chu Xiaoxiao’s list of people that she cared about, naturally causing her not to take Ms. Mei’s matter into consideration

Her logic of thinking was opposite of many people in the real world. Most people were polite and polite to strangers, understanding and tolerant, but had little tolerance for their acquaintances and easily showed their bad side.

But, Chu Xiaoxiao was considerate and tolerant of acquaintances that she identified, but had little care of strangers’ opinions about her.

She wasn’t even against Ms. Mei. But this kind of wordless and flippant contempt was more irritating.

Merely considering this matter, Chu Xiaoyi actually did not have to say anything more. He just had to take Chu Xiaoxiao to apologize to the teacher, and pretend to solve the matter between the two parties.

Then, the teacher wouldn’t win in the hands of Chu Xiaoxiao, become repeatedly frustrated, and then unbearably leave. After all, no one knows how the future path would unfold.

However, Chu Xiaoyi was not willing to muddle through at this moment. He always felt that it was not right to do so. Chu Xiaoxiao now perceived that the other party does not like her, and successfully squeezed the person, but what about later?

She’ll encounter a lot more similar occasions than just a few of these.

Chu Xiao Yi simply saw his sister as an adult and said calmly, “Xiaoxiao, although Ms. Mei is your teacher, you should also know that a teacher is just a job for Ms. Mei, she doesn’t have to like you.”

“As long as she performs her duties well, then she’s not doing anything wrong. It’s possible she’s not targeting you, maybe she just doesn’t like kids. But that’s her job, she has to do it even if she doesn’t like it.”

Chu Xiaoyi heard her sister say that Ms. Mei showed a little resistance when she first met her, which worsened through time. So he speculated that perhaps the other party just didn’t like children.

Chu Xiaoxiao asked rhetorically, “Then why can’t she choose a job that she likes?”

Chu Xiaoyi can not help but smile helplessly, “Your requirements are a little too high, ah! The reality is very complex, many people have jobs that are quite difficult and different from what they expect.”

“We, as adults, work to earn money, not to enroll in hobby classes that we like. How can it be as simple as that?”

Chu Xiaoxiao calmed down and broke into silence. She seemed to be convinced by her elder brother and felt that his statements were somewhat reasonable.

If one simply looked at Ms. Mei’s work, there really wasn’t anything too bad about her except for that one grammatical error. Chu Xiaoxiao just didn’t like the other party’s attitude; she didn’t like the feeling of being set up as an authority.

Chu Xiaoyi gave a follow-up advice, “Xiaoxiao will feel that the teacher is getting annoyed with you, also because she is worried about losing her job and accidentally put this emotion on you. Suppose she really left for this reason, would you feel better in your heart?”

Chu Xiaoyi knew very well that the kindergarten did not dare to do anything to Chu Xiaoxiao, but the principal and director would make an evaluation of Ms. Mei and judge whether she was fit to stay.
