Perhaps it was because of everyone's encouragement, but Xiao Anzu seemed to cling to Liu Ming even more.
She ran directly to the kitchen to find Liu Ming.
"Xiao Anzu, what are you doing here again? Didn't I tell you it's dangerous here?" Liu Ming vigorously ruffled her hair.
Then, he pointed to the other three little lolis peeking from the kitchen doorway and warned, "You're not allowed in either."
"Oh~" Xiao Mei, Xiao Dong, and Xiao Hina obediently responded. They didn't go in, but they also didn't leave.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them." Teacher Yamamoto also came out, gently putting her arms around the three of them.
"Xiao Ming, let's go on a date!" Xiao Anzu looked up at Liu Ming, her small eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Liu Ming was about to say something but was interrupted.
It was Sister Toru!
After hearing Xiao Anzu's words just now, she became agitated, accidentally crushing the tableware in her hand.
She didn't even care about the dishes customers had ordered. She stood directly in front of Xiao Anzu, looking down at her from her height of over 1.7 meters, "I can't pretend I didn't hear what you just said."
Xiao Anzu was just a child after all. Frightened by Sister Toru like that, she hid behind Liu Ming.
Liu Ming could only smile bitterly. Was Sister Toru actually serious? She was even jealous of a child.
Sister Toru was a dragon and didn't care if the other person was an adult or a child. She said in a serious tone, "Xiao Ming is mine. He won't go on a date with you."
After speaking, she hooked Xiao Ming's arm into her embrace and then looked at Xiao Anzu provocatively.
"Ah ah~~" Xiao Anzu no longer cared about being scared and let out a loud cry. Then, mimicking Sister Toru, she grabbed Xiao Ming's other hand and said anxiously, "Xiao Ming isn't yours! My mom said we're going to get married in the future!"
Sister Toru's expression changed, and then she said, "I'm Xiao Ming's wife! You little brat, go play somewhere else."
After speaking, Sister Toru proudly puffed out her chest.
Xiao Anzu's face immediately fell. She looked at her own body, then at Sister Toru's impressive figure, and her world instantly turned gray.
She couldn't compare at all.
A crushing defeat.
"Xiao Anzu, go!" Xiao Mei and Xiao Dong at the doorway quickly cheered Xiao Anzu on.
Xiao Hina, on the other hand, was completely bewildered. She had no idea what was going on. Why was Xiao Anzu arguing with Sister Toru? Should she go and mediate? But Uncle had just said not to go in.
"I say, both of you, that's enough. What's there to argue about?" Liu Ming said helplessly.
"Xiao Ming, don't say anything. This is my war with her," Xiao Anzu said seriously.
"Exactly. This no longer concerns you. This is a woman's pride. Today, I must determine a victor between us." Sister Toru also became serious.
Liu Ming was speechless, he felt like he was superfluous.
He turned his head to look at Sister Toru, "You can argue, but no fighting."
Sister Toru proudly raised her head and said, "I don't need to use my hands to deal with a little girl."
When Liu Ming saw Sister Toru agree, he breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time became even more speechless.
Since she knew the other party was a little girl, why was she so serious?
Forget it, he wouldn't bother with it anymore, and then Liu Ming really stopped paying attention to the two of them.
He came to the stove where Sister Toru had been earlier and began to prepare the dishes ordered by the guests again.
"Are you really that confident? If Sister Toru really makes a scene, it's no joke, even I might not be able to stop her," Elma whispered.
Liu Ming's movements paused, then he nodded seriously, "I believe her, and you've been here for so long, have you ever seen her make a scene? Maybe sometimes she'll throw a little tantrum, but that's normal, isn't it."
"After all, as long as it's a sentient being, it will have its own joys, sorrows, and anger, that's normal."
Elma looked deeply at Liu Ming.
She really couldn't understand why Sister Toru cared so much about this man in front of her.
Sister Toru used to treat humans as ants, destroying towns at will, and she couldn't imagine Sister Toru being so obedient to a human.
"I like Xiao Ming the most," Xiao Anzu said.
"I like Xiao Ming more than you, and I've long planned to dedicate everything to him," Sister Toru said.
"Oh no, Xiao Anzu is already at a disadvantage in the first round," Xiao Dong, who had changed into a detective outfit at some point, pushed up her glasses and said with a bit of worry.
"Is that so?" Xiao Mei looked at Xiao Dong confused, she couldn't tell at all.
"Well, well, Xiao Ming even saved me," Xiao Anzu quickly continued.
"Xiao Ming saved me too, and he even said he hoped I would come and live with him, and I agreed," Sister Toru said proudly.
She suddenly realized that this little brat in front of her was not on the same level as her opponent, and bullying her felt meaningless.
"What~ You're living together?" Xiao Anzu's face changed drastically, and she spoke a little incoherently.
"Second round, Xiao Anzu still lost," Xiao Dong continued her commentary.
"Is that so?" Xiao Mei tilted her head, looking bewildered.
"Hmph hmph!! Have you given up?" Sister Toru crossed her arms, her expression very proud.
"I, I, I~~"
"Come on, Xiao Anzu. If you give up, you'll lose your handsome brother," Xiao Dong reminded her.
"That's right, come on, Xiao Anzu," although Xiao Mei was still not very clear about the situation, cheering her on was always right.
"That's right, I can't just give up like this," Xiao Anzu immediately recovered, and she said full of fighting spirit, "I will never give up, because Xiao Anzu likes Xiao Ming the most."
Sister Toru raised an eyebrow, that look was serious.
She asked, "Why are you so persistent? You're still so young?"
"Liking is liking, does it need a reason?" Xiao Anzu asked strangely.
"A good 'liking is liking', I acknowledge you as an opponent.
However, even so, I will not go easy on you, Xiao Ming's future wife will definitely be me," Sister Toru said.
"That's not true, Xiao Ming's wife should be me," Xiao Anzu immediately retorted.
"Then let's compete and see who wins Xiao Ming's heart the fastest," Sister Toru said.
"Compete then, anyway, the person Xiao Ming likes the most will definitely be me," Xiao Anzu showed a mysterious confident smile.
"No, no, Uncle likes Xiao Hina the most."
Hearing this, Xiao Hina was not happy, and she also ran over.
"Xiao Hina, the 'like' we're talking about is different from the 'like' you're talking about."
Sister Toru had lived with Xiao Hina for so long, so of course she understood her meaning.
"Eh? Why would it be different? Xiao Hina clearly likes Uncle very much too," Xiao Hina blinked and asked strangely.
"It's definitely different, we are arguing about who will be Xiao Ming's wife in the future," Xiao Anzu also explained.
"Wife?" Xiao Hina didn't understand.
"It's someone who lives together forever."
"Then Xiao Hina wants to be Uncle's wife too, Xiao Hina also wants to live with Uncle," Xiao Hina quickly said.
Liu Ming couldn't listen anymore, he rushed over and picked up Xiao Hina.
He glared at Sister Toru and Xiao Anzu, and said reproachfully, "You two can talk amongst yourselves, don't drag Xiao Hina into this and corrupt the child."
"Be good, Xiao Hina, don't listen to their nonsense."
"Mm-hmm, Xiao Hina won't listen to them," Xiao Hina nodded seriously.
"Xiao Hina is the best, Uncle likes Xiao Hina the most," Liu Ming immediately became happy, seeing how worry-free Xiao Hina was.
"Hehe, Xiao Hina likes Uncle the most too," Xiao Hina also laughed happily.
Sister Toru and Xiao Anzu exchanged glances, and immediately looked like eggplants hit by frost—withered, both becoming listless.
They had argued for so long, yet they couldn't compare to Xiao Hina's one act of cuteness.
"This battle truly had its twists and turns, I didn't expect Xiao Hina to suddenly appear at the last moment and take advantage of the situation.
Ouch, that hurts~" Xiao Dong continued her commentary in a serious manner, then suddenly felt a pain in her head.
Liu Ming listened with a dark expression, couldn't help but lightly give her a chop to the head, "You too, why are you joining in the fun?"
Then he gently rubbed Xiao Mei's head and said, "Xiao Mei too, don't be so naughty."
"Mm," Xiao Mei lowered her head and responded weakly.
