Chapter 966: There’s a Man Looking for You
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“I don’t like plush toys,” he said. He stopped playing with dolls a year ago because plush toys were for children and he was now a big boy.
“In that case, you should entertain yourself,” Xi Xi said as she ran away and picked up her robot Du Du.
“Du Du, let me introduce you to Yuan Yuan. My mother says that he is my elder brother,” Xi Xi said as she pointed at Yuan Yuan and stroked Du Du’s head.
Du Du blinked its eyes and his eyes shone green.
“I know his name is Yuan Yuan. I’ve seen him before,” Du Du said.
“Ah…” Xi Xi exclaimed in surprise.
Yuan Yuan sat on a stool nearby and stared at Du Du. He remembered seeing this robot at his aunt’s house but he was surprised to see that Du Du ended up being Xi Xi’s companion.
Xi Xi carried Du Du downstairs and Yuan Yuan trailed behind. They went to the backyard where Xi Xi would go play every day. Her swing, her pet goldfish, and the flowers she planted could all be found in the backyard.
They walked up to the pond and Xi Xi handed Yuan Yuan a small fish net and a fishbowl.
“Yuan Yuan, let’s have a competition to see who’d be able to catch the most fish. If you lose, then you must…” Xi Xi scratched her head and thought for a moment. “You’ll have to wash my socks.”
Yuan Yuan froze in shock as he stood by the pond. Wash her socks? He had never washed anyone’s socks in his life.
Moreover, he didn’t like catching shrimp or fish because he thought that they were childish activities.

“What happens if I win?” Yuan Yuan asked.
“I’ll sing you a song if you win,” Xi Xi said as she made a face at her brother.
Yuan Yuan was dumbfounded.
What kind of rules were these? Why could she get away with singing a song if she lost? It was completely unfair.
Although he thought that the rules were unfair, he continued to play all sorts of childish games with her because he had promised his mother to take good care of his sister and play with her.
They played at the pond for some time and He Xiyan watched them the entire time but she did not intrude on their playtime. Instead, she watched their every move closely.
Suddenly, she felt a pat on her shoulder.
“Who’s that?” He Xiyan turned and saw Qin Xiaoyu standing behind her.
“Miss He, there’s someone at the door looking for you. He said that his name was Chen,” Qin Xiaoyu said.
“He said his name was Chen?” He Xiyan froze in shock. She felt her heart clench when she heard that his name was Chen and she quickly knew who might be looking for her.
“He seems to be in his thirties and looked rather tall. Is he your friend?” Qin Xiaoyu asked curiously.
She noticed He Xiyan looked anxious after she asked that question.
He Xiyan bit her lips hard. She could already guess who her visitor might be from Qin Xiaoyu’s description.
She quickly turned away and tried her best to mask her anxiety and unease.
It was Jiahang.
My god, why did he come all the way here? Didn’t she already….
He Xiyan couldn’t calm herself down and her hands subconsciously grabbed at her clothes.
“Miss He, are you alright?” Qin Xiaoyu immediately noticed that there was something odd about her reaction.
He Xiyan shook her head. She was truly surprised that Jiahang had come all the way here.
“Xiaoyu, could you help me look after Yuan Yuan and Xi Xi? I’ll be heading out for a while and will only come back at night,” she said.
She sighed as she walked toward the door.

Noli Me Tank in a Mall
Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo are important cultural works that ignited the Philippine Revolution against Spain. They are novels that exposed to the populace the abuses and the injustices of their Spanish colonial rulers, the hypocrisy of their priests, and inherent cruelty of their class structure over the powerless masses. Unfortunately, they rose up in the middle of the Spanish-American War, one which saw Spain lose most of their overseas colonies and decisively end as a World Power. The war ended in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, in which Spain also sold the Philippines to the USA for the sum of twenty million dollars. The revolutionary government was then crushed by the overwhelming military might of the United States and the Philippines turned into a territory. While the Philippines stands as the USA's greatest successes in nation-building, their early occupation left almost one-fifth of the population dead from combat and disease. Jose Rizal was executed by the Spanish long before knowing what might happen to his country. The world presented within The Noli and the El Fili is therefore stuck frozen in time, forever caught in that moment before a Revolution. Now let's see what happens to this nation if we give it the Light Novel treatment and jam the entirety of the Internet into their protagonist's skull and watch him try to fix things with his unfortunate tendency to sound like a supervillain. Updates Mondays and Fridays. Note: The Noli and El Fili have been public domain since 1946. This is completely fair game.
