Ch. 51..60

51 He’s Very Cute

“That’s true. Looks like I have to make Ah Yao pay more attention to the young lady in the future. Otherwise, if his wife is snatched away, Ah Yao will be heartbroken.”

Wei Lan felt that her younger son was definitely a loyal person when it came to relationships. After so many years, she had never seen him have any feelings for any girl. Yuan Xiao must be extraordinary to him.

“Achoo!” Fang Yao, who was sitting in the back row with Yuan Xiao, sneezed.

“What’s wrong? Did you catch a cold?” Yuan Xiao glanced at the boy beside her and asked with concern.

!!

“No, my parents must be talking about me now.” Fang Yao rubbed his nose. He felt that with his parents’ personality, they would definitely misunderstand his relationship with Yuan Xiao.

“I think Uncle and Auntie are nice people. Don’t be so hostile to them.” Yuan Xiao knew that Fang Yao was just not too good at expressing himself, but he actually cared about his parents.

“They didn’t care much about me in the past. Their thoughts were all on my brother. It’s too late to care about me now!” Fang Yao had always misunderstood his parents. He felt that in his parents’ hearts, there was only the smart and outstanding Fang Ming, and he was just an existence that annoyed them.

“Fang Yao, how old are you?”

Yuan Xiao had a smile on her face. He felt that Fang Yao was a little childish.

“I’ll be 18 after this year. Why?” Fang Yao did not notice the smile on Yuan Xiao’s face.

“Really? I thought you were eight years old.” Yuan Xiao heard the driver in the front seat laugh.

“Uncle Zhang, don’t laugh at me!” Fang Yao was a little embarrassed.

Uncle Zhang looked at Fang Yao’s slightly red face in the rearview mirror and could not help but smile. “Miss Yuan, this is the first time Ah Yao has been so obedient. He’s the little devil of our Fang family. No one dares to say that about him.”

Yuan Xiao smiled at Uncle Zhang. “Really? That’s because you don’t know Fang Yao well enough. He’s actually very cute and not scary at all.”

Fang Yao’s face turned redder and redder. If not for the driver, he would not have let Yuan Xiao off so easily.

“Are you coming to tutor me tomorrow?” Fang Yao looked at Yuan Xiao’s fair side profile. The redness on his face had yet to fade.

“Why don’t you come to my place? My parents have to go to the restaurant tomorrow. There’s no one at my place.”

After Yuan Xiao finished speaking, she saw Fang Yao silently lowering his head. “What’s wrong? Is it inconvenient?”

“Alright, I’ll go over tomorrow morning.” Fang Yao did not know what Yuan Xiao’s attitude towards him was, but he felt that their relationship seemed to have become closer.

Yuan Xiao noticed that Fang Yao was a little embarrassed, but she did not expose him. After all, he was only a 17 or 18-year-old boy. He was quite cute when he was embarrassed.

After returning home, Yuan Xiao realized that Shen Hai and Feng Mei seemed to have been waiting for her.

“Dad, Mom, didn’t I say that I would go to Fang Yao’s house today? Why aren’t you resting?” Yuan Xiao asked her parents who were sitting on the sofa after changing her shoes.

“Your mother is just worrying for nothing. I’ve already told her that our daughter is going to her classmate’s house to learn how to play the piano. She’s just worried.” Shen Hai put away the newspaper in his hand and looked at Yuan Xiao, who had returned, before he was relieved.

“Don’t listen to your father.” Feng Mei went forward and took Yuan Xiao’s backpack. “He’s worried. He wanted to call you just now, but I didn’t let him disturb you.”

After being exposed by Feng Mei, Shen Hai coughed unnaturally and pulled Yuan Xiao to sit on the sofa. After hesitating for a while, he asked, “Xiao Xiao, when did you know your classmate?”

Yuan Xiao looked at the concerned Shen Hai in front of her and felt very warm. Now, her relationship with the Shen couple was getting closer.

“I met him in school. He’s a year older than me.”

Hearing Yuan Xiao’s words, Shen Hai nodded thoughtfully.

Feng Mei came out from the kitchen with a glass of milk and handed it to Yuan Xiao. “That child is quite good-looking, but his behavior looks a little scary. What does his family do? Why did he bring so many people that day?”

Yuan Xiao knew that Fang Yao had probably left a bad impression on her parents. He wanted to dislocate someone else’s arm just because of a disagreement. It was impossible for honest people like Feng Mei and Shen Hai to understand.

“His family is in business.” Yuan Xiao thought for a moment and explained to Feng Mei, “He has an older brother who is a famous doctor in the city hospital. His family is quite nice. I saw them all today.”

Yuan Xiao did not know if her words would improve her parents’ impression of Fang Yao. Fang Yao’s family was indeed not bad, so she was not lying.

52 Resolving the Misunderstanding

Yuan Xiao took a sip of milk. Before she could swallow it, she saw Feng Mei’s serious expression as she advised her earnestly, “It’s not that I can’t accept your puppy love, but you’re still young. You can’t be deceived by him.”

Yuan Xiao choked on the milk in her mouth and coughed violently.

“Drink slower.” Feng Mei patted Yuan Xiao’s back. Her heart ached when she saw her trembling body.

“Mom, I don’t have that kind of relationship with Fang Yao. I definitely won’t fall in love at a young age!” Yuan Xiao hurriedly explained to Feng Mei.

“Are you really not together?” Shen Hai, who was at the side, was also in disbelief.

He could tell that the boy cared about his daughter. After Yuan Xiao was injured, the child was really nervous. It did not seem like the relationship between ordinary classmates.

“It’s true.” Yuan Xiao had no choice but to explain.

It was normal for her parents to misunderstand her and Fang Yao’s situation in the restaurant.

“Anyway, I won’t fall in love at a young age. Don’t worry.”

Yuan Xiao did not know if her parents would believe her, but she was still tied to the system. She really did not have the energy to fall in love again.

“It’s not that we don’t believe you.” Shen Hai thought of the boy called Fang Yao and reminded Yuan Xiao worriedly, “We can be friends, but you must be with those who are upright and dutiful. Don’t get hurt, understand?”

A bitter smile appeared on Yuan Xiao’s face. It seemed that not only was her relationship with Fang Yao misunderstood, but Fang Yao’s image in her parents’ eyes would also be difficult to change.

“Don’t worry, Fang Yao and I are friends. I still have to help to tutor him tomorrow. We only talk about studying together.”

Yuan Xiao’s words did not reassure Feng Mei and Shen Hai. When they heard that their daughter still wanted to see that boy tomorrow, the two of them frowned in unison.

“Are you still going to his house tomorrow?” Shen Hai was a little worried.

“He’s coming to our house. Anyway, there’s no one at home tomorrow.” Yuan Xiao saw that her parents were getting more and more nervous. She thought for a moment and added, “Li Chang, the girl you saw in the restaurant, will also come. Don’t worry.”

When Yuan Xiao saw that her parents had relaxed a little, she returned to her bedroom.

It seemed that Fang Yao had become a dangerous person in her parents’ eyes. Yuan Xiao thought of Fang Yao’s red face in the car today and could not help but smile.

If her parents saw Fang Yao at that time, they would not be so wary of him.

Yuan Xiao thought of what she had said to her parents in the living room and called Li Chang.

“Xiao Xiao, how are you? Have you progressed further with Colonel Fang?”

Li Chang’s gossipy voice came from the phone. Yuan Xiao smiled and said, “You left me and Fang Yao alone in the hospital. I haven’t settled the score with you yet.”

“Didn’t I create an opportunity for you? Besides, I don’t want to be a third wheel.”

Hearing Li Chang’s words, Yuan Xiao was in a difficult position. She did not know if Li Chang would reject her directly if she knew that Fang Yao would come tomorrow.

“Come to my house tomorrow? I’ll tutor you.” Yuan Xiao did not intend to tell Li Chang that Fang Yao would be coming. After all, she was going to be tutoring, so there was nothing wrong with having another student.

“Really? That’s great. My grades have been improving. If I improve a few more levels at the end of the semester, my father will buy me a new cell phone.” Although Li Chang was not that interested in studying, she was still very happy to be tutored by Yuan Xiao.

“Alright, come to my house at eight tomorrow. I’ll send you the address later.” Yuan Xiao was very satisfied with Li Chang’s reaction. She just did not know what her expression would be when she saw Fang Yao tomorrow.

After everything was arranged, Yuan Xiao went to rest.

The next morning, Feng Mei and Shen Hai rushed to the restaurant. Yuan Xiao also woke up early to prepare for today’s tuition. Fang Yao and Li Chang had different foundations, so Yuan Xiao carefully prepared two sets of revision plans.

The doorbell rang before it was time.

“Fang Yao, why are you here so early?” Yuan Xiao looked at Fang Yao in front of her and felt that he looked a little haggard.

“I couldn’t sleep, so I came over earlier. This is for you.”

Fang Yao was holding a bouquet of beautifully wrapped daisies.

Yuan Xiao was a little surprised. This was the first time someone had given her flowers. “Thank you, but don’t tell me you didn’t sleep all night?”

Yuan Xiao looked at Fang Yao’s obvious dark circles and felt that it was very likely that he had not slept the entire night.

“It’s fine. Let’s start class.” Fang Yao did not sleep well the entire night. When he thought about going to Yuan Xiao’s house alone the next day, Fang Yao was so nervous that he did not sleep.

53 Qualified Teacher

“Wait a little longer.” Before Yuan Xiao could finish speaking, she heard the doorbell ring.

“Teacher Yuan, I’m here!” As soon as Li Chang entered the door, she felt that the atmosphere was not right. She noticed a resentful gaze behind Yuan Xiao and could not help but shiver.

“Why is Colonel Fang here?” Li Chang smiled awkwardly. It seemed that she had appeared at the wrong time.

“I plan to tutor you guys together.” Just as Yuan Xiao finished speaking, she saw Fang Yao and Li Chang reveal shocked expressions at the same time.

!!

“Both of you, study hard and try to get into University A after graduation.” After Yuan Xiao finished speaking, she did not give Li Chang and Fang Yao a chance to talk and directly took out two sets of textbooks.

“Let’s do a background check first so that I can formulate a tutoring plan for each of you.”

Li Chang and Fang Yao looked at the serious Yuan Xiao and did not dare to let her down. They could only accept their fate and do the test questions.

Li Chang noticed Fang Yao’s unhappy side profile and carefully moved to the side. Colonel Fang practically had the words ‘I’m not happy’ on his face. Li Chang did not want to be a third wheel, but it was obvious that she had been used by Yuan Xiao.

Li Chang tried her best to control herself and to pretend that Fang Yao did not exist, but she was still very nervous.

“Fang Yao, don’t tell me you don’t know how to solve a single question?” Yuan Xiao looked at Fang Yao, who was motionless, and was a little worried.

She had boasted in front of Fang Yao’s parents yesterday. After all, she felt that as the second male lead, Fang Yao’s development would not be too bad. However, she did not expect that the character setting in the original book would really turn the second male lead into a bad student.

“I’ve never attended a class before. How could I solve that?” Fang Yao was depressed because of Li Chang’s appearance, and his tone was a little dissatisfied.

Sensing Yuan Xiao’s gaze, Fang Yao coughed lightly and changed his attitude. He explained, “Demonstrate it to me. I promise I’ll figure it out immediately.”

Yuan Xiao sighed. After all, she was the one who had taken over the mess, and she had to deal with it herself.

She patiently demonstrated the steps to solve the problem to Fang Yao. Yuan Xiao was pleasantly surprised to find that Fang Yao’s ability to draw inferences was indeed very strong.

Yuan Xiao began to regain her confidence. She seriously focused on Li Chang and Fang Yao’s problems and gave them high-intensity training.

“Teacher Yuan, let’s take a break.” It was already noon. Li Chang could not sit still anymore. She studied while avoiding Fang Yao’s death gaze. Li Chang had spent the morning in fear.

“Alright, I’ll make you something to eat. Continue studying in the afternoon.” Yuan Xiao went to the kitchen after saying that. Li Chang did not want to be alone with Fang Yao, so she hurriedly followed.

“Xiao Xiao, I’ll be your assistant!”

When Fang Yao heard that Yuan Xiao was going to cook for him, he was secretly happy. It seemed that he had gained something today. He smiled, but the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

“Brother Fang.”

Zhao Yu’s voice sounded from the phone. “What are you and Brother Ting busy with? You can’t even come out on the weekend.”

“Sun Ting has violin lessons this weekend. I…” Fang Yao glanced at Yuan Xiao’s figure in the kitchen and said proudly, “I’m at Yuan Xiao’s house now.”

“What!” Zhao Yu’s loud voice made Fang Yao’s ear hurt.

“Brother Fang, did you get together with Sister-in-law?”

Although Fang Yao wanted to acquiesce, he thought of the rumors on the school forum and explained, “Don’t talk nonsense. I’m here for tuition.”

“Ah!” Zhao Yu’s voice became even louder. He never thought that Fang Yao would say something like tuition.

“Why are you so surprised? I’m planning to study hard. Can’t I?”

Fang Yao was originally disdainful of studying, but when he thought about how Yuan Xiao had protected him in front of his parents yesterday, Fang Yao wanted to work hard for Yuan Xiao. Compared to getting into a good university, Fang Yao was more concerned about not disappointing Yuan Xiao. Moreover, he hoped that he could continue to be with Yuan Xiao when he was in university.

“Brother Fang, hearing that you want to study is even more shocking than knowing that Brother Ting’s violin is at grade nine.” Zhao Yu felt that he was about to be completely left behind by Fang Yao and Sun Ting. Other than fighting, he did not seem to be good at anything else.

“Alright, is there anything else? If not, I’m hanging up.” Fang Yao noticed Yuan Xiao’s gaze from time to time and wanted to hang up on Zhao Yu.

“Wait a minute, Brother Fang. I heard that Wang Chen seems to have been bullied in school. He didn’t say anything even when I asked him, but that kid has a lot of injuries.” Zhao Yu’s tone became serious. When Fang Yao heard his words, he gradually frowned.

54 Argument

“Wang Chen’s brother runs a martial arts school. How can he be bullied?” Fang Yao and Wang Chen did not interact much, but he had always been on good terms with Wang Chen’s brother, Wang Chao.

“That’s right. That kid doesn’t look like his brother at all. He also looks like a girl.”

Zhao Yu sighed and continued, “He might not dare to tell his brother. After all, with Wang Chao’s temper, if he knew that his brother was bullied, he would directly cripple the other guy. Moreover, Wang Chao is not a student, so it’s a little troublesome to resolve these matters. Brother Fang, should we help Wang Chen?”

Fang Yao thought about it and felt that it was indeed better for him to take action on Wang Chen’s matter. Wang Chao was already an adult. It would not sound dignified to beat up a few high school students.

!!

“Alright, arrange a time. We’ll go and meet the bastard who bullied Wang Chen!”

Hearing Fang Yao’s words, Zhao Yu was relieved. With Fang Yao around, the other party would definitely not be able to end well.

After hanging up the call with Zhao Yu, Fang Yao saw Yuan Xiao coming out of the kitchen with fried rice. He smiled at her guiltily.

Yuan Xiao placed the fried rice and cutlery in front of Fang Yao and asked, “Why? Are you still going to fight?”

Fang Yao thought that Yuan Xiao did not hear him. Looking at Yuan Xiao, who was scrutinizing him, Fang Yao put down the cutlery in his hand and explained, “My friend’s younger brother was bullied. It’s not good for me not to appear…”

Li Chang walked out of the kitchen with the food and saw a magical scene.

For some reason, the usually fierce-looking Colonel Fang was like a little wolfdog who had made a mistake in front of Yuan Xiao. He was extremely obedient.

Li Chang did not know if he should go over. He felt that the atmosphere was not right. After thinking for a while, he carefully retreated to the kitchen.

“Didn’t I say that you shouldn’t fight in the future?” Yuan Xiao remembered that Fang Yao had suffered serious injuries from fighting in his previous life. As she and Fang Yao became closer and closer, Yuan Xiao was really worried that he would repeat the experience of his previous life.

“Are you worried about me?” Fang Yao was delighted to see Yuan Xiao’s expression.

“I’m not joking, Fang Yao. Don’t always rely on force to solve problems. You’re about to turn 18. I hope you’ll be more mature in the future.”

Yuan Xiao did not like Fang Yao’s attitude. She felt that Fang Yao was taking things too lightly. After all, he and she were not the male and female protagonists in the original book. Yuan Xiao was really worried that Fang Yao and she would once again become cannon fodder for the male and female protagonists.

“How am I immature?” Fang Yao was a little unhappy. How could he be happy to be treated as a child by the girl he liked?

“How are you mature? All you do is fight?” Yuan Xiao could not control her emotions. After all, she was much older than Fang Yao. It was normal for her to think that Fang Yao was immature.

“Don’t forget that you’re a year younger than me! You should call me big brother!” Fang Yao was a little excited. The fried rice in front of him was very fragrant, but Fang Yao’s heart was in a mess.

“Only someone like Brother Fang Ming can be considered a big brother. Even if you’re 10 years older than me, you’re still immature!”

When Yuan Xiao saw Fang Yao’s awkward expression, anger surged in her heart. She had painstakingly tutored him for the entire morning, and now she was cooking for him. Yuan Xiao felt that Fang Yao really should not quarrel with her.

“Then go and call Brother Fang Ming!” Hearing Yuan Xiao mention Fang Ming, Fang Yao could no longer suppress his anger. He picked up his backpack and rushed out.

After Fang Yao left, Li Chang carefully came out of the kitchen.

“Xiao Xiao, are you alright?”

Yuan Xiao heaved a sigh when she saw Li Chang. “It’s okay. I won’t be as childish as him!”

Li Chang carried the food to the dining table and sat beside Yuan Xiao. After hesitating for a moment, she said to her, “Actually, Fang Yao didn’t do anything wrong. He’s only 17 years old. Being immature can’t be considered a mistake, right?”

Yuan Xiao was originally a little upset, but after hearing Li Chang’s words, she suddenly calmed down.

She was someone who had been reborn, but to Fang Yao, he was only 17 years old. Yuan Xiao was a little confused. She did not realize that Fang Yao’s current situation to be a normal state.

After being reborn, Yuan Xiao had seen many things clearly, but Fang Yao did not know anything. Yuan Xiao scratched her head in frustration. Looking at Fang Yao’s untouched fried rice, she felt a little bitter.

55 Depressed

“Who’s the one who’s immature…” Yuan Xiao lowered his head and inadvertently glanced at the daisies that Fang Yao had just brought over. The bitterness in her heart became more and more obvious.

“You like daisies, Xiao Xiao.” Li Chang noticed Yuan Xiao’s gaze and picked up the daisies on the coffee table.

“Yes, I do.”

Yuan Xiao did not know what she was thinking. Ever since she was reborn, she only wanted to change her life, but she did not pay attention to the feelings of the others around her. After all, they did not know anything and could not empathize with her.

!!

“Pure beauty and love hidden in the bottom of the heart. Doesn’t the floral language of the daisies sound good?” Li Chang noticed the flowery card on the bouquet and subconsciously read it out, not noticing the slightly red corners of Yuan Xiao’s eyes.

“Let’s eat. It’ll get cold soon.” Yuan Xiao’s voice was a little choked up. She did not know why she felt so uncomfortable because of such a small matter.

“Alright, but what about Colonel Fang? He hasn’t eaten a single bite.” Li Chang sympathized with Fang Yao. He had been tortured for the entire morning and left without even eating.

“I’ll cook for him in the future. You eat first.” Yuan Xiao looked at Fang Yao’s plate and secretly made up her mind to find an opportunity to cook for Fang Yao in the future.

“The two of you are really compatible. You’re both stubborn but soft-hearted…” After Li Chang finished speaking, she felt that Yuan Xiao’s expression did not look too good, so she did not dare to say anything else.

Due to Fang Yao’s departure, Li Chang went straight home after eating. She still had school tomorrow, so Yuan Xiao simply packed up and returned to her bedroom.

[Detected that the host’s emotional value is not high. Little 7 suggests that the host can listen to music and relax.]

Lying on the bed, the system’s voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

“Little 7, you haven’t appeared in a long time.”

[That’s because the host has been performing very well recently. Her artistic talent has been completely activated. Now, the host has master-level artistic cells!]

“What good would that do?”

[Of course it’s useful. With master-level artistic cells, the host will have an extremely high learning ability in front of various art categories in the future. Even if you sing a song now, you will have astonishing accuracy and rhythm!]

“Really? That sounds good.”

Yuan Xiao was still in low spirits.

[Host, you can try singing a song. There will be a shocking discovery!]

“I don’t want to sing. Little 7, I feel so tired.”

[That shouldn’t be the case. Host, your stamina is full. It won’t be a problem for you to run a kilometre right now.]

“Forget it, I can’t explain it to you.” Yuan Xiao was a little discouraged. She turned around and covered her head with the blanket.

[Host, Little 7 still has to remind you that the provincial competition before the end of the semester is about to begin. You have to get first place!]

“Got it. Thanks for the reminder.”

Little 7 saw that Yuan Xiao was really not in a good mood. As an intelligent system, Little 7 could not completely analyze Yuan Xiao’s emotions.

[Then, host, rest well. You don’t have any other missions before the provincial competition.]

The electronic voice calmed down in her mind, and Yuan Xiao felt her heart become empty.

She did not know what Fang Yao was doing now. Her artistic talent had been activated. It seemed that even if she did not learn how to play the piano from Fang Yao in the future, it would not affect her much.

Yuan Xiao stopped thinking about Fang Yao. After all, the provincial competition was about to begin and she still had to get first place. As the top scorer of the college entrance examination, Gu Chi must be a competitor that she could not underestimate.

The next morning, Yuan Xiao arrived at the classroom very early. When she thought of the argument she had with Fang Yao yesterday, she could not help but be stunned.

“Yuan Xiao, cheer up. The most important thing now is the provincial competition!” Yuan Xiao muttered in her heart. She sat back in her seat and controlled herself to not pay attention to Fang Yao.

However, when she did not see Fang Yao during lunch, Yuan Xiao could not help but feel frustrated. She asked Li Chang, who was sitting opposite him, “Where do you think Fang Yao went? He used to appear in front of me after class. Why did he disappear so completely today?”

Li Chang was shocked by Yuan Xiao’s question. Seeing her displeasure, Li Chang could not help but laugh. “What? If Colonel Fang doesn’t come and pester you, you’re not used to it?”

“No.” Yuan Xiao poked at the rice on her plate and muttered softly, “Didn’t he say that he was going to fight that day? I’m afraid…”

“Are you worried about him getting hurt?” Li Chang interrupted Yuan Xiao.

Yuan Xiao took a sip of juice awkwardly and pretended to be nonchalant as she said, “As a good friend, it’s normal to be afraid of him getting hurt, right?”

56 Not Daring to Offend

“It’s normal, especially normal!” Li Chang smiled and said, “If you’re worried, just call. It’s not like you don’t have a way to contact him.”

Yuan Xiao choked on Li Chang’s words. She was just a little embarrassed. After all, the two of them had parted on bad terms. Yuan Xiao did not want to take the initiative to lower her head.

“Why don’t you help me ask?”

Hearing Yuan Xiao’s words, Li Chang looked terrified. “Forget it. I’m not considered good friends with Colonel Fang.”

Li Chang had specially pronounced the word ‘good’ with emphasis. As a third wheel, she was now panicking when she saw Fang Yao. Taking the initiative to call him? Wouldn’t she become a stutterer!

“Then I’ll ask.”

Seeing Yuan Xiao take out her cell phone, Li Chang’s face seemed to say, “I knew it.”

The call was picked up immediately, but Yuan Xiao did not hear Fang Yao’s voice. Instead, he heard Zhao Yu’s nervous voice. “Sister-in-law, ah, Yuan Xiao.”

Yuan Xiao’s face instantly darkened, and her tone became much more serious. “Where’s Fang Yao?”

“Brother Fang… Brother Fang is in class. He’s in class.” Zhao Yu’s voice was trembling. It was obvious that he was lying.

“I’m at the same school as him. We’re only one floor apart. I can go upstairs and check immediately. You’d better not lie to me.”

Yuan Xiao’s tone was a little scary. Even Li Chang, who was opposite her, became a little nervous.

“Sister-in-law, I was wrong. Brother Fang is in the underground garage at the back street of the school…”

Before Zhao Yu could finish, Yuan Xiao hung up.

Zhao Yu glanced at Fang Yao who was talking to someone. He did not know if he had offended Yuan Xiao. After putting down Fang Yao’s cell phone, he stood quietly not far behind Fang Yao.

“Did you fight with Wang Chen or not? Speak!” Fang Yao’s expression was frighteningly dark, unlike how he usually looked when he was with Yuan Xiao.

“Brother Fang, our school has nothing to do with you. Aren’t you being a little too nosy?” The leader of the opposing team was about the same age as Fang Yao, but he looked even more roguish. There was also a hideous scar on the left side of his face.

“Wang Chen is my younger brother. If you bully him, you’re going against me!” Fang Yao wanted to attack directly, but Wang Chen, who was beside him, kept stopping him.

“Is that so?” Scarface’s tone was a little teasing. He said to the timid Wang Chen beside Fang Yao, “Your good brother is asking you, did I bully you?”

Wang Chen’s figure was a little thin, and his originally fair face had lost all color.

“Brother Fang Yao, I wasn’t bullied, I…”

Looking at Wang Chen’s frightened expression, Fang Yao felt a faint anger in his heart. He asked Wang Chen loudly, “Then where did your injuries come from? I asked your classmates. They all say that they’re always pestering you. With your Brother Fang around, what are you f*cking afraid of!”

Fang Yao looked at Wang Chen, who was the complete opposite of Wang Chao, and felt resentful. They were clearly biological brothers, but regardless of personality or appearance, Wang Chen and Wang Chao were two completely different people.

Scarface could not help but laugh when he saw how scared Wang Chen was. He looked around and realized that Fang Yao had brought less than ten people with him. In terms of numbers, he had twice as many people as Wang Chen.

“Brother Fang, your brother is too much like a woman. Come, let me tell you why he looks like this.”

Before Fang Yao could figure out the situation, he realized that Wang Chen’s face had become even paler. Moreover, his body was obviously trembling uncontrollably. Seeing the scar-faced man take out his phone, Wang Chen started sobbing.

“Don’t, don’t!” Wang Chen suddenly rushed towards Scarface like a madman, struggling to snatch the cell phone from his hand.

“Hey, what’s the hurry? My brothers have a copy of your photo. There are more than 20 phones here. Can you snatch all of them?”

After Scarface finished speaking, Wang Chen collapsed to the ground and cried at Fang Yao, “Brother Fang, don’t worry about me. They have my nude photo on their phones. If I don’t listen, they’ll post the photo online!”

Fang Yao’s eyelids twitched violently. He never expected something like this to happen to Wang Chen.

Although he looked delicate, he was still a boy. Fang Yao did not expect this group of people to be so abnormal. No wonder Wang Chen did not dare to tell his brother about it. This group of trash really deserved to die.

“Don’t cry. What’s there to be afraid of? Whoever has your photo, smash his cell phone along with the person. Let’s see who the f*ck dares to say it out loud!” Fang Yao’s eyes seemed to be dyed with a layer of blood. He looked at the scar-faced man in front of him and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

57 Extremely Shameless

Scarface felt that he had the advantage in numbers over Fang Yao. His words were provocative. “Brother Fang, you’re quite arrogant. It’s not worth it to fall out with us because of a sissy, right?”

Fang Yao’s brows were tightly knitted, and his face was getting darker and darker. He stepped forward to protect Wang Chen behind him and said to Scarface sternly, “Fall out? You think too highly of yourself!”

Fang Yao did not say anything more to Scarface. He rushed forward and punched him hard in the face.

Fang Yao moved very quickly, not giving anyone a chance to react. When Scarface’s lackey saw his boss being beaten up, he also rushed towards Fang Yao and the others. The scene quickly became chaotic.

Wang Chen was afraid and hid at the side, but his eyes never left Fang Yao.

Wang Chen knew that Fang Yao had a good relationship with his big brother, but usually, he would deliberately avoid Fang Yao when he saw him. After all, Fang Yao did not look like someone to be trifled with. He was timid and almost did not dare to look Fang Yao in the eye.

However, Wang Chen did not expect Fang Yao to protect him like this. He was touched and anxious. He wished he could be stronger like his brother. However, it was already good enough that he did not cause trouble for Fang Yao. He could not help at all.

“Brother Fang Yao! Be careful!” Wang Chen noticed that Scarface had taken out a reflective object from his pocket. He was worried that Fang Yao would be injured, so he immediately reminded him.

Fang Yao also noticed the short knife in Scarface’s hand and immediately became alert.

“Do you f*cking know the rules!” Fang Yao had fought countless times, but he had never used a knife. Although he had a bad temper, he still had a bottom line.

Scarface was more shameless than Fang Yao. He only wanted to win against Fang Yao.

“Brother Fang, they all have knives on them!” Zhao Yu also noticed that something was wrong. Originally, Scarface and the others could not defeat Fang Yao and the others, but as they took out knives, Fang Yao and the others’ punches and kicks were greatly restricted.

“Be careful! We must cripple these bastards today!” Because of Scarface’s shameless actions, Fang Yao was completely enraged by him. He looked a little scary now, and the aura around him was also very terrifying. No one dared to face the completely enraged Fang Yao directly.

Scarface had not attacked Fang Yao much and was already injured. He turned his gaze and suddenly looked at Wang Chen, who was not far away.

Realizing that he was being targeted, Wang Chen wanted to escape, but he was grabbed by Scarface, who was rushing towards him, and then pressing a knife to his neck.

“Ah!” Wang Chen felt a pain in his neck and screamed in fear.

“You’re courting death!” Fang Yao noticed that Scarface was deliberately holding Wang Chen hostage. He felt even more ashamed of him and ran towards him. Just as he was about to attack, he realized that Wang Chen’s forehead was already covered in sweat.

“Don’t move! If you come any closer, I’ll cut this kid open!” The corner of the scar-faced man’s eye had already been injured by Fang Yao. At this moment, his bruised face was even more terrifying.

“You’re shameless!” Zhao Yu could not stand the scoundrel. He had fought with Fang Yao many times, but this was the first time he had seen such an unruly scoundrel.

Fang Yao was worried that Wang Chen would be injured, so he waved at his lackeys behind him to stop.

Although Fang Yao and the others were no match for Scarface and the others in terms of numbers, they were each more powerful than the other. Although Scarface’s lackey had a knife in his hand, he was still seriously injured.

“What do you want?” Fang Yao walked closer to the scar-faced man and threatened, “If you dare to hurt him, you’ll leave here as a corpse today!”

Although Scarface was holding Wang Chen hostage, he was still frightened by Fang Yao’s aura. If he offended Fang Yao, his life would not be easy in the future. Scarface’s eyes suddenly became ruthless, and he had the urge to completely fall out with Fang Yao.

“If you come any closer, I’ll cripple this sissy! Neither of us will have an easy time!”

Wang Chen’s body had already stiffened. He was timid to begin with. With the knife at his neck, tears were already forming in the corners of his eyes. Looking at Fang Yao in front of him, he pretended to be strong and said, “Brother Fang Yao, don’t worry about me! He won’t dare to do anything to me!”

“Is that so?” When the scar-faced man heard Wang Chen’s words, he reached out his other hand without a knife and pinched Wang Chen’s chin forcefully. He said disdainfully, “You’re just a woman. Why are you pretending to be tough? I’ll tear your face apart later. Let’s see if you’re still afraid!”

Fang Yao clenched his fists tightly. If not for the fact that he was afraid that Wang Chen would be injured, he would definitely cripple this bastard!

“Who do you think you are? In my eyes, Wang Chen is much stronger than you! Who are you to attack someone because of their appearance!”

In Fang Yao’s eyes, Wang Chen was at most a little timid. A person like Scarface was truly despicable.

“You!” Scarface was completely enraged, but he was still afraid of Fang Yao and did not dare to do anything to Wang Chen.

“I’ll give you one last chance. Let go of him, or I’ll make you regret it!” Fang Yao’s voice was exceptionally clear in the empty underground garage. The garage was really remote, and their location was in the deepest part of the abandoned garage. No one would appear at all.

!!

“Stop boasting! I’ll take him down with me no matter what! If you dare to touch me, I’ll cripple him first!”

The atmosphere between Fang Yao and Scarface was tense. Neither of them was willing to back down. The situation was in a stalemate.

Yuan Xiao and Li Chang entered the depths of the underground garage. Due to the sounds of fighting, they had already discovered the location of Fang Yao and the others.

“Xiao Xiao, what should we do? Should we call the police?” Li Chang whispered to Yuan Xiao.

The two of them hid behind the car. No one would notice them.

“No.” Yuan Xiao knew that if the police came, Fang Yao would not be able to explain himself. Looking at the stalemate, Yuan Xiao carefully instructed Li Chang, “Wait here. I’ll knock out the leader. Fang Yao won’t have to worry.”

Seeing that Yuan Xiao wanted to sneak forward, Li Chang grabbed Yuan Xiao’s arm.

“No!” Li Chang did not dare to speak loudly, but because she was too anxious, her voice was obviously a little hoarse.

Li Chang looked at the crowd not far away and realized that no one was paying attention to them. Then, she carefully persuaded Yuan Xiao in a low voice, “It’s too dangerous. You can’t go over!”

“It’s fine. Their backs are facing me, so they won’t notice.” Yuan Xiao felt that her physical fitness was not bad, so she should not be easily discovered.

Seeing the fire hydrant point at the side, Yuan Xiao carefully took out a bottle of fire extinguisher.

Li Chang was still worried about Yuan Xiao’s safety, but she had already quietly walked towards the person confronting Fang Yao.

Li Chang did not dare to make a sound for fear that Yuan Xiao would be discovered. She silently prayed for Yuan Xiao in her heart.

Li Chang stared at Yuan Xiao, who was carefully hiding behind the car.

“Hurry up and take your men away! Otherwise, I’ll kill him!” Scarface felt threatened by Fang Yao’s approach. He kept waving the short knife in his hand, indicating for Fang Yao to stay away from him.

Wang Chen was tightly restrained by Scarface’s right hand and did not have the strength to resist at all.

Fang Yao was annoyed. If he took his men away now, it would have been a wasted trip and Wang Chen’s life would only be worse in the future. If Scarface posted Wang Chen’s photo in the future, Wang Chen would never be able to erase the hurt in his heart. If he attacked immediately, he was afraid that Wang Chen would be injured.

Fang Yao did not know what to do. He suddenly heard a bang and the scar-faced man fell backward.

“Who asked you to threaten others!” With the fire extinguisher in her hand, Yuan Xiao kicked the unconscious scar-faced man a few more times.

“Sister-in-law!” Zhao Yu, who was standing beside Fang Yao, was the first to react. When he saw Yuan Xiao kicking the scar-faced man on the ground a few times, the position of Yuan Xiao in Zhao Yu’s heart instantly became much higher.

Brother Fang’s woman was indeed powerful!

Fang Yao was also very surprised by Yuan Xiao’s appearance. When he saw the reflective short knife on the ground, Fang Yao reacted and hurriedly picked up the knife. He pulled Yuan Xiao’s arm and restrained the unconscious scar-faced man. He reprimanded his clearly flustered lackey, “Put down the knife, or I’ll cripple him now!”

Fang Yao did not look like he was joking at all. Seeing that Scarface had fainted, his lackeys had no choice but to throw the knives in their hands.

“Phone.” Fang Yao’s tone was cold. The scar-faced man’s lackey helplessly took out the cell phone from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

“Let go of Big Brother, we’re leaving now!” A skinny man with a lock of blue hair said to Fang Yao who was holding the scar-faced man.

“Leave?” Fang Yao’s eyes turned cold. He looked at Wang Chen, who had an obvious bloodstain on his neck, and gestured to his people.

Zhao Yu understood and immediately led the others to press Scarface’s lackeys to the ground.

The injuries on their bodies were more serious to begin with. Without the knife, they had no ability to resist.

Zhao Yu tied their hands and feet with a rope and asked Fang Yao, “Brother Fang, should we beat them up again to teach them a lesson?”

When the lean man with a lock of blue hair heard Zhao Yu’s words, he hurriedly struggled to get up from the ground, but he was kicked down by Fang Yao’s men.

Unwilling to give up, he looked at Fang Yao and said, “Brother Fang, we didn’t want to become enemies with you in the first place. I think we should forget about this matter. We won’t target Wang Chen in the future.”

“Do you still have a copy of Wang Chen’s photo?” Fang Yao also found his cell phone from the pocket of the unconscious scar-faced man.

“No, they’re all in our phones. There’s no backup!” The blue-haired man hurriedly explained.

!!

“Alright, smash the phones.” As Fang Yao spoke, Zhao Yu and the others crushed the phones on the ground. Blue Hair and the others lay on the ground, feeling terrible, but they did not dare to speak. Smashing the phones was better than hitting themselves.

“The phone has been smashed. By the way, Zhao Yu, what did I say before?” Fang Yao’s tone was cold. Blue Hair and the others did not dare to breathe loudly, afraid that Fang Yao would vent his anger on them.

Yuan Xiao looked at Fang Yao beside her. She felt that the young man in front of her was a little unfamiliar. Usually, Fang Yao would be a little childish in front of her, but now, he looked terrifying. He was like a lone wolf that had lost control, as if he would go forward and tear the enemy apart at any time.

“Smash his phone along with him. Let’s see if they still dare to tell anyone about this!” Zhao Yu’s tone was also a little unfriendly. He had always felt indignant for Wang Chen and wanted to stand up for him.

“Don’t, Brother Fang. We definitely won’t make it public. Absolutely not!” The blue-haired man was worried that he would suffer physical pain again and was completely terrified.

Looking at the man begging on the ground, Wang Chen was a little emotional. He had suffered all kinds of grievances. Now, the people who had bullied him were lying on the ground like trash. He felt much better.

“Alright, I don’t really like to solve problems by force.” Fang Yao was a little afraid of Yuan Xiao, who was beside him. If not for her presence, he would have ordered Zhao Yu and the others to teach those trash on the ground a lesson.

“Zhao Yu, take off all their clothes and let Wang Chen take more photos so that they won’t regret it in the future.” After Fang Yao finished speaking, the expressions of the blue-haired and the others changed. They fought to beg Fang Yao for mercy.

“You know how uncomfortable it is? I’m just letting you guys experience it once.” Seeing that Zhao Yu and the others had already started to move, Fang Yao hurriedly covered her eyes. “Take a few more close-ups of their boss. Yuan Xiao and I will go out first.”

Zhao Yu nodded and began to take off Scarface’s clothes.

With Fang Yao covering her eyes, it was inconvenient for Yuan Xiao to walk. Just as she was about to move Fang Yao’s hand away, she was picked up by him.

“What are you doing?” Yuan Xiao wanted to break free from Fang Yao’s embrace, but he pressed her head against his chest.

“Don’t move. You’ll dirty your eyes if you see something you shouldn’t.” Fang Yao’s tone was a little doting.

Yuan Xiao was too close to him, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Yuan Xiao stopped struggling and obediently allowed Fang Yao to hold her in his arms.

Fang Yao smelled like fresh lemons. Yuan Xiao actually felt a little at ease being hugged by him.

Even after walking out of the underground garage, Fang Yao had no intention of letting Yuan Xiao go.

“Why are you here?” Fang Yao felt at ease when he felt Yuan Xiao in his arms.

As the light gradually became brighter, Yuan Xiao realized that she and Fang Yao had already left the underground garage. Embarrassed, she got down from Fang Yao’s arms and tidied her scattered hair before remembering her purpose for coming.

“I haven’t asked you, you went to fight again!” Yuan Xiao sounded a little excited, but she did not blame Fang Yao at all.

“I…” Fang Yao glanced at Yuan Xiao. The words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly could not be said. Yuan Xiao’s face was red, and she looked a little cute. “I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”

Yuan Xiao did not expect Fang Yao to apologize to her, so she did not reply.

Fang Yao thought that she was still angry at him and explained to Yuan Xiao, “They bullied my friend’s brother. I really can’t sit back and do nothing.”

Yuan Xiao nodded and looked at the young man in front of her. She raised her hand and gently wiped the corners of her eyes that were stained with dirt. “I understand you, but you have to be careful. Promise me that you won’t be injured, okay?”

Yuan Xiao’s sudden action stunned Fang Yao. He could not help but hold Yuan Xiao’s hand as a bright smile appeared on his face. “Alright, I can promise you anything.”

Yuan Xiao was amused by Fang Yao’s words. Although the young man in front of him was not mature enough, his righteousness and bravery made Yuan Xiao unable to look away.

60 Are You Jealous?

“However, it’s too dangerous for you to come alone. In the future…” Before Fang Yao could finish speaking, he saw Yuan Xiao’s expression change.

“Oh no!” Yuan Xiao suddenly remembered Li Chang, who was still in the garage, and hurriedly looked into the garage.

Before Yuan Xiao went in, she saw Li Chang, who was in a daze, walk out of the garage with Zhao Yu’s help.

“Li Chang, are you alright?” Yuan Xiao hurriedly walked towards Li Chang and asked worriedly when she found that she was in a daze.

“Sister-in-law, she should be fine. It’s just that…” Zhao Yu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. Before he could finish speaking, Li Chang stopped him.

“Xiao Xiao, I’m fine. It’s just that I really want to dig out my eyes!” Li Chang came back to her senses and gritted her teeth.

“I’m sorry. I forgot about you just now. Did you see everything?” Yuan Xiao felt a little sorry. Thinking of what Fang Yao and Zhao Yu had said, she looked at Li Chang sympathetically.

“Ah! Don’t say anymore, Xiao Xiao. This is the first time I’ve seen a group of naked men in my life!”

Hearing Li Chang’s words, Zhao Yu burst out laughing.

“Didn’t I cover your eyes with my hand?” Zhao Yu saw Li Chang walking over from the underground garage and hurriedly went forward to cover her eyes. However, he did not expect Li Chang to still scream like a pig being slaughtered.

“Big Brother! Your fingers were so far apart!” It would have been fine if Zhao Yu had not said anything, but once he did, Li Chang got angry. Who would put their fingers apart to cover someone’s eyes? Only Zhao Yu would do that.

“Alright, how’s everything going down there?” Fang Yao asked Zhao Yu.

“The photos have already been taken. They didn’t even dare to resist. They should have gone back through the other side of the garage now.” Zhao Yu thought of how sorry those people were and felt relieved. “Let’s see if they still dare to bully Wang Chen in the future and if they have the face to appear in front of him again!”

“Keep the photo. If they find trouble with Wang Chen in the future, post the photo online.” After Fang Yao finished speaking, he saw his underling walking out of the garage with Wang Chen.

“Brother Fang Yao.” Wang Chen looked at Fang Yao gratefully. If not for him, he would have been bullied by Scarface and the others.

“If you need anything in the future, look for me. Don’t bear it alone.” Fang Yao patted Wang Chen’s shoulder. Just now, Wang Chen had asked him to leave under the threat of Scarface. This changed Fang Yao’s opinion of him.

“Thank you, Brother Fang Yao.” Wang Chen looked at Yuan Xiao, who was beside Fang Yao. If not for this girl, he would not have been able to escape from Scarface’s hold.

“Thank you, sister-in-law!” Wang Chen bowed solemnly to Yuan Xiao, scaring her.

“You can just call me Yuan Xiao.” Yuan Xiao was a little embarrassed, but looking at Wang Chen’s serious expression, she was too embarrassed to explain too much.

Wang Chen smiled at Yuan Xiao and left with Zhao Yu and the others.

“I’ll go back to school with them first. You two take your time to chat!” Li Chang hurriedly chased after Zhao Yu and the others, not wanting to be alone with the two of them anymore.

Yuan Xiao watched Li Chang trot away and smiled helplessly. After watching them walk away, Yuan Xiao turned around and asked Fang Yao, “What’s the name of that boy just now? He’s quite good-looking.”

Yuan Xiao noticed Wang Chen’s smiling face and felt that his facial features were delicate and pretty, giving him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

“Let’s go back to school.” Fang Yao frowned unhappily and did not answer Yuan Xiao’s question.

“You haven’t answered me.” Yuan Xiao did not notice that Fang Yao’s face was getting darker and darker. She only felt that she seemed to have seen the boy just now in her previous life.

“You like that type of boy? Didn’t you say that you don’t fall in love at a young age?” Fang Yao’s tone was a little dissatisfied, and the question he asked was also inexplicable.

He did not feel that his facial features were not as good-looking as Wang Chen’s. He did not understand why Yuan Xiao was interested in that guy.

Only then did Yuan Xiao notice Fang Yao’s emotions. She smiled and asked, “Are you jealous?”

“No, Wang Chen looks so weak. How could I be jealous?” Fang Yao suddenly raised his voice. He secretly looked at Yuan Xiao and noticed the smile on her face. He was a little embarrassed.

“So his name is Wang Chen.” After Yuan Xiao finished speaking, she saw Fang Yao’s expression worsen.

“I’m just teasing you. I just think he looks a little familiar. I don’t mean anything else.”

“Really? Did you know him before?” Fang Yao’s mood improved a little, but he still asked worriedly.
