Sister Natasha pointed behind her. "Playing games? Where's that kid Peter? Afraid I'll beat him up, huh? I bet he's hiding somewhere."
Xu Li flicked a cigarette butt into the back of the shop's partition. Zhuo Ya was munching on spicy strips and sipping Coconut Milk, swinging her little feet happily while watching a soap opera. Xu Li patted her daughter on the head. "Where's Peter? Didn't you two walk home together?"
She confirmed that he was at Lisa's house. He had been bragging to her in the morning about how he and Lisa had officially become a couple yesterday. He definitely wouldn't dare go to Big Uncle's or Second Uncle's place, so it must be Lisa's house.
Zhuo Ya finished her Coconut Milk in a few gulps, jumped into Xu Li's arms, and with her tall stature inherited from her big-boned genes, she was already close to 1.7 meters at just under twelve years old. Xu Li held her effortlessly and kissed her forehead. "Your mom is here too. We're staying over tonight; let me tell your Aunt."
"Great! Dad will tell me a story tonight!" The little girl beamed with joy.
Xu Li bent down to pick up her shoes and backpack as they headed outside. "Everyone is coming over for dinner tomorrow night. I'll take Zhuo Ya first; I still need to find Peter."
Sister-in-law and Sister Natasha nodded, watching as Zhuo Ya refused to come down, pinching her little face before bidding farewell to the father-daughter duo as they drove away. Meanwhile, Peter was sprinting down the street, eventually hailing a taxi to Lisa's house, where he squatted outside.
He pulled out his phone and sent a message to Uncle Andong: "Did you see my dad?"
Inside Anan's car, Uncle Andong grinned mischievously. "Yeah, I saw him. Your dad looks terrifying; you're probably going to get beaten up tonight. Take care, buddy."
"I'm at your doorstep; I'm sleeping over tonight to hide out."
Uncle Andong glanced at the message and then turned to look at Lisa, nudging her with his elbow as he handed over his phone. After reading the message, Lisa recalled how Peter had been scolded by his dad during summer vacation and shivered involuntarily, muttering for Uncle Andong, "Alright then."
Natasha was chatting with Anan and Dasha and didn't notice their little exchange. Anan laughed as he drove. "That kid Peter got called out by the teacher for a long time today. Brother Xu kicked the classroom door open when the meeting ended."
"I said I’d finish my meeting here while they were fixing the door in Lisa’s classroom."
Natasha nodded thoughtfully as Anan handed his phone to Dasha. "I happened to record it."
Dasha took the phone and scrolled through it, nearly bursting into laughter as she covered her mouth because the video showed the teacher spitting while lecturing: "Peter claims Lisa is his girlfriend! How old is he? Starting to date already? Isn’t this going to lead other students astray?"
Dasha and Natasha chuckled as they looked at Lisa, who was blushing and covering her face with both hands. Just then, Xu Li stood up, grabbed his down jacket hanging on a chair, and kicked the door open without hesitation: "Bang!"
"Thud!"
Uncle Andong instinctively swallowed hard, feeling pity for his buddy: "Peter is definitely going to get a beating; it's going to be rough."
Lisa felt scared for Peter too. "Do you think Uncle Makarov will really hurt him?"
"He shouldn't; after all, he's still my Old Son."
