Right Here Waiting For You - Chapter 37: Cookie’s Story

“I told you, she is a motherless street urchin. Su Yi, you are my boyfriend. Stay away from her!”

“She is a motherless street urchin.”

All of a sudden, the world seemed to have lost all of the sounds, and the city noise disappeared at that moment.

Only this sentence was clear to Ning Tiantian. It was so heavy and oppressive that it made her numb with shock. She couldn’t make any response but only looked at Cookie lying on the ground.

“Cookie doesn’t have a mother. No wonder that Mama Li’s lunch moved her to tears. It turns out that this is the reason!”

At the moment when Xu Jiajia stopped, Cookie burst into tears. When she was pushed down, her arm hit the sharp garden railing and her skin got torn. There was massive bleeding from her arm but she clenched her teeth and didn’t cry. Now, when she heard this, she was out of breath from crying.

“I’m not motherless!”

She got up from the ground and pushed Xu Jiajia, who was five years older than her, onto the ground, riding on her and seizing her by the neck.

“I have a mother! I have a mother! I’m not motherless! I’m not!”

Cookie’s every word was like a cry from the bottom of her soul, desperate and heartbroken.

“You are motherless! A bastard! Even if you have a mother, your mother doesn’t like you. Otherwise, how could she have abandoned you when you were born?!” Xu Jiajia, after all, was older than Cookie. After a while, she was beginning to gain the upper hand and slapped Cookie.

“You dare to hit Cookie!” Ning Tiantian immediately picked up the broken tree branches next to her and threw at Xu Jiajia.

……

This time, it was two v.s. one. Even nine-year-old Xu Jiajia couldn’t win. She anxiously asked Su Yi for help. “Are you still my boyfriend? I am being bullied by them and you don’t come to help me!”

“Xu Jiajia, enough!” Su Yi took Xu Jiajia’s arm and looked at her with a fierce look. “I’m so stupid to be your boyfriend. Now we are done! Get out of here!”

Su Yi loosened his hold on her and pushed her away.

Up to now, he had given up the competition. Either Ning Tiantian or Cookie was much better than Xu Jiajia.

Xu Jiajia looked at him with shock. Her eyes turned red, looking angry and annoyed. “Do you really want to break up with me?”

“That’s what you heard.” Su Yi said coldly, pushed her in a taxi, then carried Cookie in his arms and went forward.

“Where are you going to take Cookie?” Ning Tiantian took Li Yanmo’s hand and caught up with Su Yi.

Li Yanmo said calmly, “Cookie’s arm is bleeding. Su Yi should be taking her to deal with her wound first.”

The doctor bandaged Cookie’s wound in the hospital and asked everyone else to go out first. Ning Tiantian now had time to ask Su Yi, “What happened to you guys just now? Why did that auntie hit Cookie?”

Su Yi grabbed his own hair impatiently and said, “I don’t want to talk about it. I just spoke a few words to Cookie on the Ferris wheel, then Xu Jiajia asked me if I liked Cookie and said that I was seduced by Cookie!”

Su Yi continued, “It turns out that Xu Jiajia and Cookie have known each other for a long time, and they live in the same neighborhood. Therefore, Xu Jiajia knows about Cookie’s family. She told me that she was the child of a single parent and told me to stay away from her. After I argued with her for a few words, she became angry. Later, as you can see, she pushed Cookie out of anger.”

Su Yi became rather angry as he continued to say, “Do you think she’s crazy? I’m going to be ten years old. Do you think that I can fancy a four-year-old girl? Am I such a jerk?”

“A guy who fancies a girl younger than him is a jerk?” Li Yanmo asked coldly.

“No, no, of course not…” Su Yi’s eyes glanced over Li Yanmo’s face, then fell on Ning Tiantian. He had an embarrassed smile on his face.

He thought to himself. “Does he really like this little girl?”
