SFTD -Chapter 358 Hu Yaojing’s New Understanding

Zhou Hai was momentarily stunned by the question. After a long pause, he finally replied:

“Boss Hu, you’re joking.”

The little loli turned around to look at Hu Xiaoyu. Such a seductive woman—her whole body radiated the charm of a mature lady, every glance and smile carrying allure. Just one look made people want to approach her.

This immediately put the loli on alert. This kind of “demoness” was clearly a strong rival.

She hooked her arm around Zhou Hai, pressing her small head against his arm, and asked innocently: “Zhou Zhou, who is this auntie?”

Zhou Hai knew the little loli was about to stir trouble, so he quickly introduced her:

“This is the owner of a bar, Miss Hu. Just call her Sister Hu.”

Upon hearing this, the loli immediately understood the implication—just an unimportant person. She obediently nodded and smiled sweetly at Hu Xiaoyu, revealing two dimples.

“Hello, Sister Hu!”

Hu Xiaoyu tilted her head and smiled, looking at the loli with understanding. She stepped forward a couple of paces.

“So, Officer Zhou is just sending you to school?”

“Yep, Zhou Zhou is sending me to school. What about Sister Hu? Could it be you’re…?”

Zhou Hai reached out and patted the loli’s head, interrupting her.

Hu Xiaoyu didn’t mind at all and laughed brightly, nodding at the loli.

“You guessed right. I’m here to send my son to school. He went to the dorm registration area, so I’m waiting here—and that’s how I ran into you two.”

The loli’s eyes widened slightly in disbelief.

But Hu Xiaoyu’s frankness instantly earned her favor. Having a son about the same age as herself—no need to explain further, it was obvious he wasn’t her biological child.

To speak so openly meant her character couldn’t be bad.

“How old is Sister Hu’s son?” the loli asked.

Hu Xiaoyu waved toward the east and called out:

“Xiao Qiang, I’m over here!”

Following her gesture, the loli’s jaw nearly dropped. She looked like she had swallowed a bun the wrong way.

Even Zhou Hai turned to look—and saw that “Wat” student was running toward them. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly; he almost laughed.

The world really was small.

And that name “Xiao Qiang”… somehow sounded even worse than “Wat.”

The Wat student ran over quickly. Only then did he notice the loli and Zhou Hai standing there, seemingly close to Hu Xiaoyu, which made him slightly confused.

“You… how do you all know each other?”

This time, it was Hu Xiaoyu who was surprised.

“You know them?”

The Wat student nodded and looked between the three of them.

“Yes! She’s my desk mate—Zhou Luoluo!”

Hu Xiaoyu froze slightly, pointing at the loli in disbelief.

“You’re Zhou Luoluo?”

“That super genius loli?”

“Oh my god! Sister Hu will treat you to a meal today—pick any restaurant in East South City!”

The loli tightened her grip on Zhou Hai’s arm, a bit confused by Hu Xiaoyu’s enthusiasm, and glanced at him and the Wat student for answers.

The Wat student tugged at Hu Xiaoyu’s bag awkwardly.

“Mom, calm down—you’re scaring Luoluo!”

Hu Xiaoyu blinked at him, silently mouthing “idiot,” then smiled again at the loli.

“Don’t misunderstand. I just think your appearance is very important. Without your motivation and competition, my Xiao Qiang wouldn’t have taken the college entrance exam early—and he wouldn’t have gotten such good results.”

The loli twitched her lips in the same way as Zhou Hai. This Wat student really was a “self-torment type.”

But… since there’s free food, why not?

She put on a sweet smile.

“Sister Hu, you’re too kind. We’re classmates!”

Hearing this, Zhou Hai suddenly wanted to leave. Watching the loli act cute just for food… and in such a tone…

Hu Xiaoyu was genuinely happy and waved her hand boldly.

“Fine, I won’t be polite then. Since you’re classmates now, all the dirty and tiring work can be left to my Xiao Qiang.”

She pulled out a card and shoved it into the Wat student’s hand.

“Take this card. It’s not just for you—every week you must treat Zhou Luoluo to a meal. Got it?”

The Wat student looked awkward, holding the card helplessly.

He had always followed orders from the loli before. Now being asked to organize meals between them was practically impossible.

Wouldn’t he just get beaten up instead?

Zhou Hai patted the loli’s shoulder.

“Go handle your dorm registration first. I’ll wait here.”

The loli nodded, waved at Hu Xiaoyu, and skipped toward the registration area.

Hu Xiaoyu kicked the Wat student’s shoe lightly, glaring at him.

“I’ve realized—you’re not pretending to be stupid. You really are stupid. Did your intelligence run out during exams? Is it at zero now?”

“What are you standing here for? You’ve already registered. Go help them!”

Only then did the Wat student realize and quickly followed the loli.

Zhou Hai looked at him, then at Hu Xiaoyu, with a hint of curiosity. The relationship between them was obvious, but it was private—better not ask.

Once the two had walked away, Hu Xiaoyu smiled at him again.

“You’re really calm. Not going to ask what our relationship is?”

Zhou Hai shook his head.

“In my line of work, I already know too many secrets. Knowing more doesn’t help—it just increases the risk of trouble.”

Hu Xiaoyu laughed softly.

Her interest in him deepened.

She shrugged casually.

“Xiao Qiang’s father was my ex-boyfriend. I started dating him when I was eighteen. We were about to get married, but he died of illness in less than two months.”

“The child was ten at the time. His mother had already remarried abroad and left him behind, so I took him in.”

“I didn’t raise him perfectly, but I did raise him.”

Zhou Hai looked at her in surprise.

He didn’t expect such a seductive woman to have such a kind heart. His impression of her changed completely.

After a moment, he sighed:

“You’re kind.”

Hu Xiaoyu waved it off.

“Don’t give me that label. I used to be just a rebellious girl. His father treated me well. I had no family before, so having someone care for me meant a lot.”

“He passed away, and I couldn’t just abandon the child. We grew up relying on each other.”

Zhou Hai looked at the two children in the distance and suddenly thought of himself and the loli.

Aren’t they the same—both without family, relying on each other for warmth? Sometimes this kind of non-blood bond is even more precious, because they truly understand what loss feels like.

Hu Xiaoyu put on her sunglasses and waved.

Her voice carried a slight nasal tone.

“Why are we talking about this on such a happy day? Seriously, now it’s turning sentimental.”

At that moment, the loli and the Wat student returned with documents. The Wat student walked up to Zhou Hai.

“Uncle, I’ll help Luoluo carry her luggage.”

The loli immediately exploded behind him.

“What do you mean ‘uncle’?!”

“I call him brother, and you call him uncle—are you trying to make me an aunt?”

“Oh right… I call your mom Sister Hu… fine, do whatever you want.”

Hu Xiaoyu laughed so hard she almost doubled over, pointing at him.

“You idiot! Just call her like I do—classmate Zhou Luoluo is fine. And I told you, outside you call me sister. A 180cm guy calling me ‘mom’—do you want me to ever get married?”

The Wat student scratched his head in confusion.

“Girls are so complicated.”

“I’ll take Luoluo to the dorm. You guys wait.”

He grabbed all the luggage and walked toward the dorm buildings with the loli.

Hu Xiaoyu lowered her sunglasses slightly, her charming eyes glancing at Zhou Hai teasingly.

“Hey, Officer Zhou.”

“That little girl likes you.”

“What are you going to do—planning to raise a future wife?”
