Brothers Conflict (23)

"Ah, come on, Fifth Brother... Zirui... I haven't finished speaking yet."

Sijiu reached out and waved her hands in the air.

Cheng Yu let out a "tsk," hoisted her up, and slung her over his shoulder like a sack of grain.

"I..." Damn it!

"Cough, cough, cough... Zirui..."

Just as Wang Zirui stood up, Fifth Brother Cheng's sharp gaze swept over him. He instantly cowered, giving Sijiu a look that said he was powerless to help.

To be honest, Wang Zirui felt that all the Cheng brothers were like wolves. He couldn't afford to provoke a single one of them.

"Didn't you have something important to tell me, Wang Zirui?

Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother... Yu!

How can you treat me like this in front of my friend!"

The young girl beat fiercely against his back and shoulders, struggling and kicking her legs.

However, to Cheng Yu, this amount of force felt like a mere itch, and he ignored her completely.

"Yu! You're... unreasonable!" Furious, she leaned down and took a bite out of his neck.

Cheng Yu froze. But he finally came to a halt.

Sijiu was overjoyed, thinking he had listened to reason, but instead of putting her down, he just kept her slung over his shoulder and shot a chilling glare at Wang Zirui. "Speak."

Wang Zirui: "..."

Speak what, Big Brother? With you looking at me like that, do I even dare to say anything?

Was Cheng Yinyin blind or something? Why on earth did she like someone so terrifying? QAQ

"No, no, no, it's nothing. I was just worried about your health. Now that I see you're doing fine, I'm relieved, so I won't intrude any longer and will be on my way. Oh, right, this... I brought this for you, so I'll just leave it, leave it, leave it right here."

Wang Zirui pulled a square box out of his school bag, placed it obediently on the side, and bowed ninety degrees to Cheng Yu. "Goodbye, Fifth Brother."

"..." Who the hell is your fifth brother?

He had already fled at lightning speed.

Cheng Yu walked over to pick up the box, but the moment his fingertips brushed it, he heard the young girl shriek right in his ear, "That's mine~ Yu, don't you dare touch it!"

She even reached out and tugged at his hair?!

Thank goodness his hair was short and prickly! Otherwise, she probably would have ripped a handful right out.

"You treasure something he gave you that much?"

Cheng Yu was irritated, so he purposely acted out of spite.

Normally, he would never be this petty.

So, he picked up the box right then and there and unsealed it in a couple of seconds.

Sijiu: "Don't!"

"... Just this piece of junk?"

Cheng Yu weighed the object inside the box, his expression a mix of doubt and surprise: "He gave you this?

A wrist guard?

And it's this ugly?"

His confusion was entirely genuine, which was why he didn't expect the young girl to suddenly burst into sobs.

"Wuwuwu... Cheng Yu, you huge idiot!"

Cheng Yu: "???"

She began to twist and thrash about with venomous intensity.

Fearing she might hurt herself, Cheng Yu set her down.

Gaining her freedom, Sijiu snatched the box right out of Cheng Yu's hands, clutched it and the wrist guard to her chest, and bolted.

Halfway through her run, she crashed directly into Cheng Qian and Cheng Ze, who had been watching the commotion to their heart's content and were planning to insert themselves into the drama.

Sijiu bounced off them with the recoil and landed flat on her backside, cursing this weak physique of hers for the one hundred and first time.

"Yinyin, why aren't you looking where you're going? Did you hurt yourself in the fall? Let Third Brother have a look."

Sijiu batted his hand away and scrambled to her feet by herself.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Ze inquired.

Sijiu looked at him, an expression of profound grievance washing over her face. As if trying to hold it in but failing completely, she opened her mouth and let out a whimper: "Fifth Brother is a huge idiot! I'm never talking to him again."

With that, she stomped off in a huff.

Cheng Yu caught up just in time to hear the tail end of her sentence. Facing the condemnatory gazes of the two older brothers, he looked utterly bewildered and helpless. "I really didn't bully her."

Yet, Cheng Ze and Cheng Qian immediately spotted the fresh bite mark on his neck, and their expressions altered drastically in an instant.

Cheng Ze's face turned livid: "Cheng Yu, are you even human?"

Cheng Qian narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Yuchen, you really aren't human."

Cheng Yu noticed where their gazes were landing and reached up to touch the spot: "... It's not what you guys are thinking."

Of course it wasn't.

After all, it hadn't even taken the two of them two full minutes from hearing the argument to coming downstairs; what could possibly have happened?

However...

Who asked him to be the one who made Cheng Yinyin display that kind of girlish emotion?

Go to hell!
