“Beautiful sister, look at how young I am. As the saying goes, who doesn’t have youthful arrogance, who doesn’t experience setbacks and then rise again, will surely have a bloody revenge… Oh, stop pinching, I’m kneeling for you…”
In the midst of speaking, Beidou’s ear was struck heavily again, pinched by the young girl’s fingertips.
“Don’t bully Beidou!”
Just then, a shy young boy ran over, looking fiercely at the young girl.
“What’s your relationship?” the young girl asked curiously.
“We’re brothers!” the shy young boy said firmly.
“Big sister, he’s just foolish. Adults overlook the mistakes of the young. At most, I’ll write you an IOU. What do you want? Can you kill me? I have connections, if you dare touch me, someone will seek revenge for me. As they say, an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Instead, let’s raise a toast to the sky. One for you, one for me, let’s all get drunk together…”
The young girl glanced at Beidou. “You might be a fool.”
Hearing this, Beidou blinked slightly. “How did you know? My mom said the same thing.”
“He’s not a fool!” the shy young boy said excitedly.
Suddenly, the girl released her grip, giving Beidou’s ear its freedom back.
“Why did you two steal things?” the young girl asked.
“I have the skills, no need to waste them!” Beidou quickly explained.
The young girl looked at him with an expression of disbelief.
“We… don’t have money. I haven’t eaten in a long time… he wouldn’t go home, so he stayed with me…” after a long while, the shy young boy lowered his head and muttered.
“What about your parents?” the young girl asked the shy boy.
“They’re both dead,” the shy young boy’s voice was very soft.
“And your parents?” Ye Wanyuan looked at Beidou.
“Tch, my mom’s not well, my dad ran off with another woman. So what?” Beidou retorted.
The young girl stared at Beidou, her face full of confusion. His mom wasn’t well, his dad ran off with another woman… then what was he so proud of?
“Wait, Beidou… your dad should be dead,” the shy young boy said seriously.
“Come on, your dad just died. My dad ran off with another woman,” Beidou retorted.
“Um… my dad did die, that’s true. But your dad definitely didn’t run off with another woman. Your dad also died,” the shy young boy explained.
“My dad did run off with another woman!” Beidou said anxiously.
“Okay, okay, stop arguing,” the young girl immediately interrupted their conversation, looking at Beidou. “Your dad ran off with another woman.”
“Yes, exactly, my dad definitely ran off with another woman. That’s right,” Beidou nodded repeatedly.
“So, are you planning to keep stealing?” the young girl asked.
“Haha, he doesn’t have the skills. I’m the one doing the stealing!” Beidou said proudly.
“Since that’s the case, then come with me from now on,” the young girl smiled. “This way, your mom can get proper medical treatment, and you can have a better life.”
“Big sister, will we have enough to eat every day?” the shy young boy looked at Ye Wanyuan.
“That depends on how hard you work,” the young girl said.
“I… I can endure hardships!” the shy young boy said hurriedly.
“Wow, are you really telling the truth? Can I earn money to treat my mom’s illness by following you?” Beidou also chimed in.
“Of course you can,” the young girl nodded with a smile.
“Then I’m in!” Beidou immediately agreed.
“I’m in too!” the shy young boy echoed.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to our new home,” the young girl turned and walked ahead.
“What’s your name, big sister?” the shy young boy called out.
“Bai Feng, Bai as in white, Feng as in maple leaf. You can call me Sister Feng in the future,” the young girl replied without looking back.
“Damn, Sister Feng, wait for us!”
Immediately, Beidou and the shy young boy caught up.
