Intense studying made her temporarily forget about Leng Yan’s existence, and she hadn’t seen that boy for half a month. Sometimes she felt their scenes of eating together and going home after school were like a dream, unreal. Oh well, everyone has their own way of life; besides, Leng Yan is more mature and sensible than her, better at taking care of himself. Even if he doesn’t come to her house for meals, he’ll be fine. Finally school was out. Today, both the elementary and middle school departments ended classes together. Next week is the final exams, and then it will be summer vacation. In Xia Nuo’s class, the last period was physical education. The PE teacher didn’t hold the class, allowing them to leave early, so when she came out, the elementary school hadn’t ended yet. Thinking that the final exams are approaching, if Leng Yan doesn’t eat well, he might not perform well in the exams. Xia Nuo decided to talk with him today; at the very least, before his exams end, he must come to her house for meals on time. She isn’t as complicated as a little brat; in her eyes, he’s just a child, so she wouldn’t mind the reason why he’s been distancing himself lately. After waiting for a while, the elementary school let out too, and Xia Nuo diligently searched for Leng Yan’s shadow, not wanting to miss him. She finally found him, but what were they doing? A few boys of similar height as Leng Yan surrounded him, looking unfriendly, pushing and shoving him, seemingly wanting to bully him. Xia Nuo’s blood boiled instantly. Looking for trouble, bullying someone from Xia Nuo’s side?! With her backpack on, she charged over, grabbed the kid who was making a move on Leng Yan, and fiercely intimidated him: "What are you doing, bullying someone?" "Let go of me, who are you?" "I’m his sister! If you dare bully him again, believe it or not, I’ll find someone to beat you up! Don’t think you’re strong just because you’re in a group. Know who Xia Nuo is? If I shout, I can gather dozens of brothers!" The boy’s face turned red, appearing somewhat timid, unsure whether he was frightened by her appearance or her words. "Let go of me! I won’t bully him anymore!" "Glad you know, if you dare bully him again, be careful I’ll beat you up. Honestly, at such a young age all you do is bully people instead of studying well." Xia Nuo released him, casually waved her hand: "Alright, hurry up and leave." The boys ran off, and Xia Nuo turned back, meeting Leng Yan’s bright dark eyes. "Actually, they..." also wouldn’t really do anything to me. Xia Nuo smacked him on the head, interrupting him. Her force wasn’t strong, feeling just like a pat on his head. "Are you stupid? Seeing so many people bullying you, don’t you know how to hide? Don’t you know to call a teacher for help? Luckily I came across it this time. Next time, if no one helps you, what will you do?" Leng Yan pressed his lips tightly, staring at her without blinking, Xia Nuo thought maybe her words were too harsh. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁 "Alright, I’m not scolding you. Just trying to teach you to be smarter, or else you’ll keep getting bullied." He had never had anyone stand up for him before... Leng Yan lowered his gaze, no one knew the storm in this little boy’s heart. "Let’s go, time to go home." Xia Nuo saw he remained silent and felt it was boring to continue talking to herself. On the way back, she still couldn’t help but ask him: "Why were they bullying you?" Apparently, it was because the prettiest girl in the class liked him, so they wanted to teach him a lesson.
