Chapter 460: Chapter 469: You Help Me Change Clothes

Li Yifei had bought some breakfast and returned, Chu Xiaoyao had already taken a bath, and she looked much more refreshed. However, her gaze would sometimes appear vacant, which was a normal reaction. If she hadn’t shown such responses, that would actually have been more worrying.

"Brother Li, I haven’t been back to school for several days, and I want to return today. The exams are coming up, and I need to attend classes. After classes this afternoon, I’ll come back," said Su Yiyi after breakfast, as she proposed returning to school. Although she was concerned about Chu Xiaoyao, with Li Yifei here, there shouldn’t be any problems. She had always been serious about her studies and placed a lot of importance on exams.

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Then you should go back. Don’t worry about Xiaoyao. I’ll take care of her these next few days, and you can stay at the school in the evening to study if you want to."

"No need, I can read just as well at home." Su Yiyi then turned to Chu Xiaoyao and said, "Xiaoyao, I’m heading to school first."

Chu Xiaoyao nodded and responded, "Sister Yiyi, don’t worry about me. I’m not that fragile, and besides, Uncle will take care of me. When you’re not around, I can have him all to myself."

If Chu Xiaoyao had said something like that under normal circumstances, Li Yifei would definitely have glared at her, but this time he gently stroked her hair instead. Whatever Chu Xiaoyao wanted to do, he didn’t want to go against her wishes.

After Su Yiyi left, only Li Yifei and Chu Xiaoyao remained at home, but nothing indecent happened. Although Chu Xiaoyao still nestled in Li Yifei’s arms, there wasn’t any flirtatious mood.

For Li Yifei, communicating with a young girl like Chu Xiaoyao was somewhat lacking. Apart from encouraging her to move on, he really didn’t know what else to talk about with her.

"Xiaoyao, how about we go on a trip together after Sister Yiyi finishes her exams in a couple of days?"

Chu Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Okay, wherever Uncle goes, I’ll follow."

"Right, let’s go check out the city where you’ll go to university first then."

"I... I want to go to college in Mile City."

"Mile City is a small city, and the schools there aren’t particularly outstanding. It seems like your grades this time are quite good; you should be able to attend a better school."

"No, I want to be in Mile City, at the same university as Sister Yiyi, so that I can come home to be with you every evening."

Li Yifei gave a wry smile, knowing it was no use to argue with Chu Xiaoyao at this point. He tried to switch topics but realized he couldn’t find another one. Fortunately, at that moment, Chu Xiaoyao’s phone rang, sparing him further effort.

Chu Xiaoyao didn’t pick up the phone, but Li Yifei did, and saw a message from Little Yue. He remembered this girl, Ye Yunzhu’s cousin, who was very close to Chu Xiaoyao.

"It’s Little Yue calling, answer it quickly."

Only then did Chu Xiaoyao take the phone and upon answering it, Little Yue’s crisp voice came through, "Xiaoyao, what are you doing? Why haven’t you come to school yet? Today is the day to fill in our university preferences."

Chu Xiaoyao uttered a sound of acknowledgment and said, "Help me fill it out."

"Are you crazy? Choosing university preferences is important, you can’t just ask me to do it for you. Come here quickly."

Li Yifei hastily said, "You must go to this, I’ll take you there. You won’t have many more chances to gather with your high school friends."

Chu Xiaoyao looked at Li Yifei and then agreed, "Alright, I’ll be right there."

After Chu Xiaoyao hung up the phone, Li Yifei helped her to sit up properly and said, "Go change your clothes."

Meeting Li Yifei’s gaze, Chu Xiaoyao said, "Uncle, I want you to help me change."

"This..."

"Didn’t you say you wanted me, so why haven’t you agreed yet?" Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes immediately filled with tears, the girl was astonishingly sensitive right now.

"Okay, okay, I’ll help you change. I meant what I said."

"Then hurry up." Chu Xiaoyao immediately stood up, pulling Li Yifei towards the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Chu Xiaoyao stood by the bed, her large eyes brimming with tears, a hint of excitement mixed with much more shyness, but she bravely kept her gaze on Li Yifei.

For the past couple of days, Chu Xiaoyao had been pitifully sad, steeped in the depths of sorrow, so seeing her like this, even though the request she made was rather troubling for Li Yifei, he still approached her with a smile, saying, "How big are you now, still needing me to help you change your clothes?"

Li Yifei’s tone was filled with an indulgent tone, which made Chu Xiaoyao freeze, her complexion suddenly turned a bit ugly, and her eyes reddened a little. Li Yifei knew immediately that his words carried a tone of parental care for a child, which reminded Chu Xiaoyao of her deceased parents.

"Haha, then I’m really taking advantage, getting to see a beauty’s body." Li Yifei quickly added another sentence.

Chu Xiaoyao’s face immediately recovered, and she winked at Li Yifei, saying, "Then why don’t you take advantage quickly, or it’ll be void after the expiry date."

Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes still had a misty layer, and making such a playful expression, it tugged at Li Yifei’s heartstrings, yet he didn’t show it on his face, instead extending his hands, saying, "Then here I go."

"Come on, who’s afraid of who," Chu Xiaoyao pouted.

After changing her clothes, Chu Xiaoyao hooked her arm through Li Yifei’s, saying, "Uncle, you take me there."

With no car at hand, Li Yifei could only hail a taxi to deliver Chu Xiaoyao to school. As she got out of the car, Chu Xiaoyao said to Li Yifei, "Uncle, will you wait for me, okay? I’ll be home after I finish filling out the application."

"I can wait for you, but don’t rush. This might be your last time to be with so many high school classmates, it’s good to chat more, right?"

"Oh, I don’t want to talk to them. I just want to be with you," she replied.

"We have plenty of time, no rush."

As they were speaking, Little Yue hurried over from the gate, calling out, "Xiaoyao, why are you so slow? How can you be late on such an important day? I can’t believe you."

Chu Xiaoyao turned around and gave Little Yue a forced smile, saying, "Little Yue."

"Eh, what’s wrong with you?" Little Yue noticed Chu Xiaoyao’s haggard look and the red around her eyes, immediately grabbing Chu Xiaoyao’s arm, then glaring fiercely at Li Yifei, said, "Xiaoyao, did this uncle bully you? Tell me, I’ll vent your anger for you."

Li Yifei suddenly felt a head full of black lines; this Little Yue really had some of Ye Yunzhu’s feisty spirit.

"It’s not the uncle, he’s been really nice to me."

"Then what happened? You clearly just cried, and you came together with him. If not him, who else bullied you?"

Tears sprung out of Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes as she hugged Little Yue and cried, "My mom and dad... just passed away."

"What?" Little Yue was taken aback all of a sudden.

"I am an orphan now." Chu Xiaoyao added, and then burst into loud crying.
