Chapter 37: The Great Deceiver.. Brother is a Big Liar!
"This really looks good!" Xu Hengzhou squatted in front of Xiang Chen, sincerely coaxing the sulking child. "If you don't believe me, ask Uncle."
He turned to ask Song Wenbin, "Uncle, do you think this hairstyle for Chenchen is especially good-looking?"
"Huh? Yes, yes, yes, it looks great, really great!" Song Wenbin, who had been watching the commotion from the side, unexpectedly found himself dragged into the conversation by Xu Hengzhou. His little nephew, with bangs and a round face, looked incredibly cute with watery eyes, making hearts tremble.
The praises from Uncle and Big Brother gave Xiang Chen some confidence. Maybe, this hairstyle wasn't as ridiculous as he thought?
However, he was soon proven wrong. The next day, when Xiang Chen went to school, everyone he encountered first stared in surprise, then burst into laughter, asking who had cut his hair.
At school, classmates were mostly older than him, and with his brother taking care of him, they discreetly observed the cute spectacle without daring to say anything. However, after school, when Xiang Chen met his buddies, a group of kids surrounded him, laughing heartily. Even Liang Liang, who had a dog-chewed head, dared to tease him.
Xiang Chen maintained a stoic steamed bun face, pretending to be calm, resisting the urge to cry. He felt extremely wronged; his brother was a big liar!
Xu Hengzhou knew something was wrong when that group of kids approached. Indeed, as expected, his little nephew rushed straight to the bedroom as soon as they got home. Following him, Xu Hengzhou saw the little guy jump onto the bed, and bury himself under the covers, and then there was silence.
Standing by the bed for a while, Xu Hengzhou didn't hear any crying, so he bent down to lift Xiang Chen.
"Big brother is a big liar!" The kid struggled in his arms, his eyes red, round, and watery, looking at him as if wanting to cry.
Xu Hengzhou felt a pang of guilt for some reason. He remembered that when he used to deceive others to the point of severe injuries, he didn't feel anything. How come he suddenly felt soft-hearted toward a little kid?
Turning around, he sat on the bed, placing Xiang Chen on his lap and cupping the little chubby face, asking, "How did I lie to you?"
Xiang Chen became even angrier, his small fists clenched by his side as he shouted, "You lied to me! You said I looked good like this, but they all make fun of me."
Pretending to be angry, Xu Hengzhou rubbed Xiang Chen's cheek, asking him, "Do you believe them or me?"
Startled by his brother's seemingly angry expression, Xiang Chen's momentum softened a bit, and his voice became lower, "They all laughed at me..."
"Are they from the same... place as you?" Xu Hengzhou countered, "Do you think my aesthetics are better, or theirs? Do you like their current clothes and hairstyles? Do you enjoy eating fatty meat like they do?"
A series of counter-questions left Xiang Chen confused. He dazedly thought for a moment. It seemed like, indeed, his brother's sense of aesthetics was better, their clothes and hairstyles couldn't compare to his brother's from that time, and he liked the red-braised pork and ribs his brother made, but fatty meat was too greasy...
