Chen knew why Xiaoyu skipped class, so he followed Song Mingming to her office.

Song Mingming asked Chen to sit down and poured him a glass of water. "May I ask what I should call you?"

"Chen."

Song Mingming asked: "Mr. Chen, excuse me, are you really Xiaoyu's brother? I heard her say that she has a brother named Han Chong."

Chen said, "Teacher Song, I am her biological brother. I am her brother Han Chong's comrade-in-arms."

“So that’s how it is.”

Song Mingming's expression turned solemn, and he said, "You must know that Xiaoyu's brother died a month ago."

Chen nodded: "I know. Her brother asked me to come to Nanhai to take care of her."

Song Mingming said with respect: "Thank you for coming to Nanhai. Xiaoyu really needs someone to take care of her."

"Teacher, what happened to Xiaoyu?"

Song Mingming sighed, "I'll tell you, ever since Xiaoyu learned about her brother's sacrifice, she has changed completely, and even I don't recognize her anymore. She used to be very well behaved and sensible. Her academic performance has always been among the best, and she is also the top student in our school and one of the few people with the best hope of being admitted to Beijing University."

"As her teacher, I was very proud of her. But everything changed when she heard the sad news of her brother's death. She didn't come to school for several months. She locked herself at home, eating and drinking alone. She almost committed suicide several times."

"I know you know that Xiaoyu and her brother have a deep relationship. Their mother died early, and Xiaoyu's brother depended on him for many years. Until her brother joined the army, Xiaoyu lived with her grandmother. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Her grandmother also passed away three years ago, leaving her alone in the South China Sea."

"But she is very independent and strong. She often says that her brother is her pride. She works so hard just to win face for her brother. Her brother asked her to take the entrance exam to Beijing University, so she worked very hard to prove it to her brother. You can say that her brother is her only spiritual support."

"Unexpectedly, her brother died. Xiaoyu's personality changed drastically. She became more willing to study and more interested in everything. She also often lost her temper and quarreled with classmates. I counseled her many times and also found a psychologist for her, but it was no use."

"Recently, she hasn't even come to class. Even when she does, she sleeps on the table. I can't bear to see her like this, but I don't know what to do. Now she often skips classes, and I don't know what she's doing outside. What I'm most afraid of is that she will do bad things in school."

"Mr. Chen, if you really want to take care of her, please help her. I have no other options."

As Song Mingming spoke, his eyes became moist. He took off his glasses and wiped the corners of his eyes with a tissue.

She has always liked Xiaoyu and has always taken care of her as a younger sister. Especially after hearing about Han Chong's sacrifice, she felt even more distressed for Xiaoyu.

Chen's heart was in knots. Although he had never met Xiaoyu, he always treated her as his own sister.

Especially when he thought about what Han Chong told him when they separated, he felt even more guilty.

Chen stood up and said calmly, "Teacher Song, don't worry. I promised her brother that I would take good care of her. Please tell me where she is. I will go and find her now."

Song Mingming nodded and glanced at his watch: "Mr. Chen, wait a minute. I'll go and tell the students to study on their own. I should know where she is. I'll take you to find her."

"Thank you."

Chen waited at the classroom door for a while, and after Song Mingming gave him instructions, he took him to the parking lot.

"Xiaoyu has been skipping classes recently and hangs out with a guy named Xiaojie in the bar every night. Xiaojie was also my student before, but he was expelled because he was not a good student. I don't know how Xiaoyu got together with him, and I'm afraid that she will be influenced by Xiaojie."

On the way, Song Mingming said.

"Teacher Song, I'm sorry for your worry. I will definitely take good care of Xiaoyu and let her go back to school and study hard."

"Yeah. I hope Xiaoyu can get over it. Her brother's death was a huge blow to her. She will take the college entrance examination next year. I also hope that Xiaoyu will not be delayed for the rest of her life because of this incident."

"No matter what, I will take good care of her."

"Chen, you are also a soldier. I believe you can do it."

After a while, Song Mingming parked the car in front of a black bar.

It was only a little after midnight, but the street was already full of lights and people, with young men and women coming in and out of the bars in an endless stream.

"Chen, let's go. Xiaoyu should be here." Song Mingming said.

Chen 놂 nodded: "Okay."

The two entered the bar one after the other, and were immediately greeted by the deafening sound of the DJ. Song Mingming and Chen 놂 rarely come to bars, and they are obviously not used to this atmosphere.

Although the atmosphere in the bar was lively, the environment was terrible. The air was filled with the smell of alcohol, cigarettes, and noisy sounds.

Song Mingming was a beautiful woman, and someone approached her as soon as she came in. She was of course here to have fun, so she took Chen across the dance floor and went to the booth to look for him.

"Chen, it's Xiaoyu."

Song Mingming found Xiaoyu and ran over quickly.

Chen followed closely behind.

"A little rain."

Song Mingming saw Xiaoyu being forced to drink by a young man in a plaid shirt next to her, and Xiaoyu was already in a daze. Song Mingming said that she didn't respond and just kept drinking.

"What are you doing?"

Song Mingming was so angry when he saw this that he ignored the danger and knocked the man's wine glass away.

She picked up the drunk Xiaoyu and was about to leave.

"Damn it, are you looking for death?"

The man was very angry when his wine glass was suddenly knocked away. Seeing Song Mingming pulling Xiaoyu up, he pulled Xiaoyu back to his side.

Xiaoyu was completely drunk and fell directly onto the man's shoulder. The man held Xiaoyu in his arms and put her legs on the table.

He looked at Song Mingming with a playful look: "Hey, it's still a top-notch product."

"Miss, why do you want to have a few drinks with me?"

"Hahaha……."

The younger brothers sitting next to him started to laugh.

Song Mingming's face was cold and he shouted angrily: "Let Xiaoyu go, she is still an underage student. Believe me, I will call the police."

After saying that, Song Mingming went to pull Xiaoyu again.

"Beauty, it's okay to let her go. How about you stay and have a few drinks with my brother?"

One of the younger brothers picked up the wine glass and held Song Mingming's hand, looking at her teasingly.

As he said this, he was about to make a dirty move towards Song Mingming.

Chen grabbed Song Mingming's wrist and pulled her behind him. He grabbed the salty pork stick and pulled it hard.

"Ah... let it go... "

After hearing a scream, Chen let go of the man and looked at the man in the checkered shirt: "Let go of your dirty clothes."

"You dare to touch my people? You're looking for death." The man in plaid clothes said viciously.

Several younger brothers stood up at the same time, picked up the wine bottles on the table and smashed them on Chen's head.
