Chapter 2472 - Side Story; Nameless Nie

Nameless Nie and Ling Miao lingered on the Ferris Wheel until night time—until a world-shaking furious scream was heard from below them.

“You two little brats, hurry and get your a*ses down here! If I don’t beat you to death today, I’ll take your surnames!”

Ling Miao’s expression changed immediately. “It’s over… Mommy discovered us.”

“What are you scared of? Let me do it!” Nameless Nie then yelled down, “Come here, you vicious woman! Come up and catch us if you can!”

“Fine, you little brat!”

Under Nameless Nie’s incredulous gaze, the provoked Auntie Ling climbed up in an extremely short amount of time like a gecko.

“Great Aunt Ling, it had nothing to do with me! It’s all her… It was Aunt Ling! She beat me and insisted on taking me out to play! I was forced… Ah… Don’t hit my face…”

…

In the living room of the mansion:

Nameless Nie and Ling Miao were both holding water buckets. They were both punished by Auntie Ling.

“Say, I’m at least the only man in this family, but Great Aunt Ling doesn’t respect me at all or show me any face. Is that appropriate? I want to rebel! She’s crueler than my mom!” Nameless Nie grumbled, brimming with disgruntlement.

“We deserved this punishment,” Ling Miao replied aloofly.

“I think you’re just used to being slaved around! Your kind of thinking is too frightening! What do you mean we deserve this punishment? I’m telling you, you have to rebel! Like when my parents made me go to school when I was in the Independent State, I didn’t go! What could they have done to me?!” Nameless Nie declared proudly.

“Hm… And then?” Ling Miao was brimming with curiosity. A concept like resistance was much too foreign to her.

“And then… they hired a private tutor for me at home… Sigh…” Nameless Nie wanted to cry.

“Oh, then it’s better to not rebel.” Ling Miao shook her head.

“Wrong! Rebelling is a type of attitude.” Nameless Nie had an enigmatic expression.

“You want to rebel, huh?!”

Auntie Ling’s shouting was suddenly heard from upstairs.

“Great Auntie Ling, it’s Aunt Ling who wanted to rebel! You mustn’t be angry; I’m trying to correct Aunt’s thinking! I promise I can accomplish it and I’ll make her repent sincerely!”

Nameless Nie yelled back hastily.

Ling Miao: “…”

When Auntie Ling was quiet again, Nameless Nie couldn’t help but look at Ling Miao. “Say, do you really not know how to rebel?! I was already doing you wrong like that, but you still didn’t fight back?”

Ling Miao turned to him. “Didn’t you say I’m your aunt? There’s nothing wrong with me protecting you a little.”

…

The next morning at dawn, Nameless Nie was arranged to study together with Ling Miao.

“You have your culture lessons today, personally taught by me, your most heroic and well-esteemed mother and great aunt,” Ling Miao announced to Nameless Nie and Ling Miao, who were currently eating breakfast.

“Aunt, what level of education do you have, huh? You’re teaching us?” Nameless Nie questioned Auntie Ling.

Auntie Ling was startled for a moment before she turned contemplative. “I had two years of private school when I was young…”

“In today’s terms… that would be… a kindergarten education?” Nameless Nie was dumbfounded.

“What? You have objections?” Auntie Ling viciously glared at Nameless Nie.

“Great Aunt Ling, that’s great! Your education level suits me perfectly! I’ll listen to your lessons well…”

Nameless Nie swore that this was the easiest culture class he’d ever attended. He never knew culture classes could be this uncultured…
