Chapter 47 Taking care of a baby
Lu Ziqiao and Chen Meijia: "..."
Who asked you about your favorite underwear pattern?
Martin joked, "I'm Martin's grandfather, you can call me grandpa too~"
"Martin's grandfather?!"
Lu Ziqiao and Chen Meijia were stunned.
Isn't he the son?
Lu Ziqiao pointed at Martin and shouted, "Are you kidding me? You're so small! You...right, you just said you're only five years old, how could you possibly be Martin's grandfather!"
"Sigh~"
Martin shrugged.
"The Chinese system of seniority is just that amazing."
"this..."
Lu Ziqiao was speechless.
Chen Meijia asked, "Um, Shin-chan, where's Martin?"
She wanted Martin to come out and explain.
"My eldest grandson has had to go on a business trip unexpectedly. Please take care of me for a day."
Martin can lie without batting an eye now.
Lu Ziqiao: "What?!"
Martin refused, saying, "Sorry, I'm past the age of playing in the mud, so you don't need to take the mud."
Lu Ziqiao: (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞
I've broken down! I've really broken down!!
...
The scene changes.
An eerie silence filled the dining table.
"Uh, Shin-chan, have a piece of braised pork. I've been stewing this for a long time." Chen Meijia picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Martin's bowl.
Martin thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Sister Meijia!"
"Mmm! Meijia's braised pork is so delicious!"
"Hehe, eat more if it's delicious." Chen Meijia happily piled a lot of meat onto Martin's plate.
Watching Martin chatting and laughing with Chen Meijia, Guan Gu Shenqi leaned close to Lu Ziqiao and whispered, "Ziqiao, is Xiaoxin really Martin's grandfather?"
"Probably." Because of Shin-chan's appearance, Lu Ziqiao was a little listless and gave a perfunctory answer.
Guan Gu exclaimed in amazement, "Oh~ the relationships among Chinese people are really complicated. He's so young, yet he can be the grandfather of an adult."
"Guan Gu, you eat too." Chen Meijia put a piece of braised pork rib on Guan Gu's plate.
"Oh, ah, ah!"
Guan Gu thanked him and then, under Chen Meijia's expectant gaze, picked up a piece of carrot with his chopsticks and gave it to Martin.
"Shin-san, don't just eat meat, eat some vegetables too, that way you'll have a balanced diet."
I want to reject you.
"Huh? Why?" Guan Gu asked nervously.
Martin, with his dead fish eyes, said, "Because I never eat food that men put on my plate, and also, I hate carrots."
Guan Gu's magical beady eyes then turned to look at Martin with a mournful gaze.
My heart aches so much~
"Hehe, I'll eat it. I love carrots." Chen Meijia took the carrot from the bowl, giving Guan Gu Shenqi a way out.
Seeing that even Guan Gu Shenqi had been thwarted by this little brat, Lu Ziqiao's mood suddenly improved a lot.
"I'm full, thank you for the meal~"
Martin gently patted his stomach, turned to Lu Ziqiao beside him and said, "Ziqiao, could you please get me a tissue?"
"You brat, stop yelling like that! Who's your grandson?!"
Lu Ziqiao's forehead bulged out like a well, and he glared at Martin with displeasure.
Martin feigned ignorance and said, "Didn't you say you and Martin are like brothers? Well then, I'm your grandfather."
Lu Ziqiao never expected to suffer such a loss, and helplessly clutched her chest as she handed him a tissue.
"Thank you~"
Martin chuckled and took the tissue to wipe his mouth.
"Wait, why did you call Meijia 'sister' just now? She and I are..." Lu Ziqiao stopped mid-sentence, realizing that the kid knew the true nature of his relationship with Meijia, and quickly interjected, "We're like sisters, peers, and she's friends with Martin too. Why did you call her 'sister'?"
"My mother taught me to be polite and to call pretty girls 'sister' or 'Miss'."
Martin's words made Chen Meijia overjoyed, and she wanted nothing more than to pick him up and kiss him passionately.
Lu Ziqiao asked, "What about the good-looking guys?"
"Sorry, I don't like boys." Martin turned his head to the side.
Lu Ziqiao stumbled, nearly falling to the ground, and leaned on the table, speechless, saying, "Who asked you who you like!"
"You," Martin said, pointing at Lü Ziqiao.
Lu Ziqiao's veins bulged, and he snapped, "I clearly asked..."
Seeing Lu Ziqiao's ferocious expression, Chen Meijia was displeased.
"Lu Ziqiao! What are you doing! Xiaoxin is still a child, what if you scare him?"
"I...you...he...sigh~"
Lu Ziqiao was like a deflated balloon.
[Lu Ziqiao: Damn it, he's still a child! Why...why should I argue with him? Looks like my self-control isn't up to par; I can't compare to my father...]
Lu Ziqiao felt inexplicably frustrated during the meal.
After eating and drinking his fill, Lü Ziqiao didn't want to stay a moment longer and got up to make a quick getaway.
Martin asked, "Ziqiao's grandson, where are you going?"
"You don't need to worry about that, I can go wherever I want," Lu Ziqiao said curtly.
"Oh~ but Martin asked you to take care of me."
"I'm so busy, I don't have time to take care of you. You should let Mika..."
Before Lu Ziqiao could finish speaking, Martin said in a pitiful tone, "Well, in that case, I'll just have to tell Martin that his good brother, whom he considers like a brother, doesn't want to take care of me and leaves me all alone at home, starving..."
Lu Ziqiao was exasperated and said, "Ugh, I'm really scared of you. Fine, I'll tell you, I'm going to a bar. That's not a place for kids, so you'd better stay home."
"Then I'm going to the bar." Martin stood on the chair and raised his little hand high.
Guan Gu Shenqi advised, "Xiao Xin, kids shouldn't go to bars. Why don't you come watch me draw comics? A little bit of 'love trivia,' it's quite interesting!"
"don't want!"
Martin refused without hesitation.
Guan Gu lowered his head, clearly taken aback.
My heart aches so much~
Martin looked at Lu Ziqiao with teary eyes and threatened, "If you don't take me with you, I'll cry."
Threatening me?
You really are... the right threat.
Lu Ziqiao had no choice but to agree with tears in his eyes.
...
...
The bar downstairs.
After everyone entered the bar, Martin's big eyes immediately started looking around, searching for beautiful women.
Because he became Shin-chan, Martin's personality was also affected. Yes, that must be it.
Also, because Martin insisted on coming to the bar, Chen Meijia, who couldn't dissuade him, was worried that Lu Ziqiao was unreliable and only cared about having fun, and wouldn't be able to take good care of the child, so she came along with Guan Gu Shenqi.
"Paul, three beers, and a glass of... pure milk for this little guy." Lu Ziqiao, ever the friendly type, went to the bar to order drinks.
Chen Meijia exclaimed excitedly, "Wow~ I didn't expect there to be a bar downstairs!"
Guan Gu Qi Shen also looked around the bar with a face full of curiosity.
The bartender quickly brought the drinks.
Martin naturally picked up a bottle of beer and raised it to drink.
Startled, Guan Gu quickly stopped Martin.
"Go to hell! Shin-chan, kids shouldn't drink alcohol!"
"This is yours." Lu Ziqiao pointed to the milk on the bar.
"Wasn't the milk ordered for Mika?"
Martin frowned.
The three of them rolled their eyes at him.
