The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 742

Chapter 742: Chapter 738: Writing the List

"Sweet Girl, what if we want to read the comic books too?"

They wanted to read the comic books, too. The stories inside were fascinating, unlike anything they had ever seen before.

In those days, few parents could afford to send their children to school, and even fewer could buy them comic books.

When there was a book, everyone would crowd around, eager to read it together.

One of the children who also wanted to read, but hadn’t brought Sweet Girl a message, spoke up and asked.

Instantly, all eyes turned to Sweet Girl.

This was precisely the effect Sweet Girl wanted.

She cleared her throat and spoke slowly. "It’s not impossible for you to read the comic books. Here’s the deal: I’ll give you a task. If you complete it, you’ll not only get to read the comics, but you’ll also get candy."

Not just comic books, but candy too?

A joy like that was second only to eating dumplings on New Year’s Day.

"Really? Sweet Girl, you’re not tricking us, are you?"

One of them was skeptical.

Sweet Girl puffed out her chest. "If I lie to you, you can come find me at my house! We have two teachers in our family. If they found out I tricked someone, I’d definitely get a beating."

"So don’t you worry!"

"Then what’s the task? Tell us, quick!" In those days, teachers held immense authority in the eyes of students. The mere thought of being able to tattle on her to a teacher convinced them that Sweet Girl wouldn’t lie.

They immediately started pressing her for the details.

Sweet Girl didn’t waste any time. She took out a notebook, sat down on a rock on the hillside, and the wind from the summit blew past her braids, lifting them in a graceful arc.

She looked at her little companions and calmly issued the mission. "Today, a lot of people have been bad-mouthing my family. All you have to do is remember who they are, what time it was, where it happened, who they were talking to, and what they said. Write all of that down. For every person you identify, you’ll get one piece of candy, and you’ll get to read my comic books."

To convince them she was telling the truth, Sweet Girl took out two large handfuls of candy from her cloth pouch and put them into the schoolbag she had brought with her.

Then, she had one of them help conceal it.

"Da Mei, you were the first one to run over and tell me something. Can you remember what time it was, where it was, who was bad-mouthing my family, and what they said?"

Sweet Girl nodded. "One piece of candy for each name. It’s what you earned. It’s the same for everyone else—you get as many pieces of candy as people you identify. But there’s one rule: if someone else has already reported a name, it doesn’t count if you report it again." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
