Lu Ziyi rubbed his swollen temples and couldn't help but defend himself: "I thought he must have had some reason or something that made him become like that. I felt that isolation couldn't solve the problem, so I wanted to try to be friends with him."
"But you forgot one thing, second brother," Lu Jiayang suddenly said, "Human nature is evil."
"I don't know what kind of person Yang Feng was when he was in the orphanage, but since my aunt adopted him, do you think someone as cold-blooded as my aunt will teach him to be kind?"
"Alas..." Lu Ziyi was very worried, "If I knew then that it would turn out like that, I wouldn't have rushed to find him."
"What happened next?" Xiaobao asked.
"After Yang Feng got attached to my second brother, he almost became his shadow," Lu Jiaming said. "Wherever my second brother was, he was there too. We tried many ways to get rid of him but couldn't. Later, after a long time, Yang Feng stopped bullying other children. Although we didn't like him, we didn't exclude him for my second brother's sake."
"Later, because of our house, my parents had a conflict with my aunt and uncle. My aunt, in particular, got really heated, and it was a very chaotic time."
"After Yang Feng learned they were moving, he came knocking on our door like crazy and asked my second brother to accompany him to a place. My second brother was soft-hearted and agreed because he was so anxious that his eyes turned red."
At this point, Lu Jiaming glanced at Lu Ziyi, biting his lip and saying with difficulty: "Yang Feng tricked my second brother into a warehouse in the suburbs. For three whole days, my parents and I were almost dying of worry. In the end, my second brother ran back on his own."
"When we found him, he had fainted at the door of our house. It was raining heavily that day and my second brother was soaked. He had a high fever and his arms and legs were covered in bruises and wounds. The most serious ones were still bleeding."
Xiao Bao felt so distressed when he thought about Lu Ziyi's appearance at that time. He grabbed his hand and asked in a trembling voice, "Second brother, was it Yang Feng who hurt you like that?"
"Who else could it be if not him!" Lu Yuxuan suddenly jumped up, "I remember now. I have some recollection of this incident. I remember that I asked my parents every day where my second brother was. Whenever I asked, my mother would cry. When she cried, my father would slap me on the head. Then I would cry too, and my eldest brother would get angry at me..."
"But after my second brother came back, he was seriously ill for several days before he recovered. I still have a very clear memory of this."
"I don't know if it was him," Lu Ziyi shook his head. "Maybe it was because the fever was too severe. My memory of those three days is very vague. I only remember him telling me not to leave or that I couldn't leave. As for those injuries... I don't remember them at all."
"My parents were completely furious when my second brother got into trouble, and they completely broke up with my aunt and her family," Lu Jiayang said. "Later, my aunt took Yang Feng away and we haven't been in touch for several years."
"Anyway, baby, next time you see Yang Feng, you must stay away from him. Remember?"
Xiaobao blinked and nodded: "I remember."
