While Wen Xingyue was enjoying her skewers.
"sister in law."
Hearing the chatter of the crowd from afar, Huo Tingjun knew that Wen Xingyue and the others had arrived. He didn't care about Qian Feipeng anymore and quickly ran out of the school.
With his arm feeling empty, Qian Feipeng felt a momentary discomfort.
Watching the people run away, he didn't dare to follow. He just angrily hugged the lunchbox tightly to his chest. He hadn't completed the task, and he would definitely be beaten when he got home.
He looked up at the figures that had disappeared into the crowded throng, then slowly looked away, his gaze falling on the lunchbox he was holding in his arms. A look of craving slowly crept into his gloomy eyes.
Since he won't eat it, I'll just have to eat it myself. It's just an appetite stimulant; it won't kill me.
These are all good things. If Huo Tingxiao weren't so picky, how could the woman in his family possibly make such good things?
Now I have to eat it myself.
...
"sister in law."
Breaking free from Qian Feipeng's forceful pull, Huo Tingjun quickly found the people still standing by the roadside, following the direction the crowd was looking.
The moment Huo Tingjun saw Wen Xingyue, his eyes lit up, and he ran towards her eagerly.
"Little Fatty".
Wen Xingyue was very happy to see Xiao Pang, thinking it would be a while before she saw him.
However, her delicate eyebrows quickly furrowed together.
[The chubby boy has black energy around him; it's from that little man. The chubby boy had contact with that little man not long ago.]
Staring at the faint yet distinct layer of black aura surrounding Huo Tingjun, Wen Xingyue crumpled up in a frown.
Previously, the black aura on Little Fatty's body was very faint, which proved that the little person beside him was not there at that time. Now, the black aura on Little Fatty's body is almost solidified, which proves that the little person is around Little Fatty.
[Little Fatty spent quite a bit of time with that person today, and I can see some of the characteristics of a villain: thin, tall, gloomy, and on good terms with Little Fatty, who trusts him a lot. That's what I can deduce. Following this clue, the clever Huo Tingxiao, along with the beautiful mother and handsome father, should be able to narrow down the range of villains, right?]
I just don't know how to tell Huo Tingxiao that although Xiao Pang's eating habits aren't causing any major harm right now, it would be good for his health to start losing weight now.
Wen Xingyue's gaze fell on Huo Tingxiao, a faint sorrow in her eyes.
She can't see a person's whole picture, and she doesn't know many people, let alone know who they are.
Even if she knew, she couldn't possibly tell the Huo family openly.
[How about I tell you when we get back I saw a description of little people in a book again? The excuse that pretty mom came up with last time was pretty useful.]
Her thoughts reached the ears of the two Huo brothers. Huo Tingxiao instantly scanned his surroundings with sharp eyes, trying to find the person who had drugged him, while also recalling the friends who were close to his younger brother.
Unfortunately, he spent many years in the military and only occasionally returned home. He didn't know much about his younger brother's life, and he didn't even know who his brother was close to.
A hint of guilt appeared in Huo Tingxiao's eyes.
Huo Tingjun's face turned pale instantly upon hearing his sister-in-law's voice.
He had only met him recently, and the image of Qian Feipeng instantly flashed into his mind.
Everything his sister-in-law said matched Qian Feipeng: thin, tall, gloomy, and he was on good terms with him.
It really is him.
Huo Tingxiao immediately noticed that something was wrong with Huo Tingjun, and he frowned.
"What's wrong with Little Fatty?"
Wen Xingyue pulled herself out of her jumbled thoughts and noticed that Huo Tingjun's eyes were red.
[Could Little Fatty have been bullied? I've heard that relationships between humans are complicated, especially among human kids; they fight all the time.]
"Waaah, sister-in-law, I'm scared."
Ignoring her brother's murderous glare, Huo Tingjun threw herself into Wen Xingyue's arms, hugging her waist and burying her face in her hands, sobbing.
I felt wronged and extremely scared.
Waaah, it's no surprise that Qian Feipeng was the one who drugged him, but why, when I was so good to him, did he have to hurt me like this?
Xiao Pang truly considered Qian Feipeng a friend. Whenever he had something delicious at home, he would always bring some back for him, and he would also take him along to play any fun activities.
Although he has many good friends, Qian Feipeng is his best friend. Now that he has been betrayed by his friend, he feels extremely upset.
Huo Tingjun is only eight years old. Two days ago, he learned that he would not live to adulthood, that his parents would die, and that his brother would die alone. Today, he learned that his best friend was the one who drugged him. The anxiety he had been feeling these past two days suddenly broke down, and he hugged Wen Xingyue and cried uncontrollably.
Now, only Wen Xingyue can make him feel safe.
"Sweetie, sweetie, don't cry, don't cry. Who bullied you? Tell your sister-in-law, and she'll teach them a lesson for you."
Wen Xingyue hadn't spent much time with human children, and seeing one crying, she was a little at a loss. She searched her memory and, following how others had comforted her in the past, gently patted Huo Tingjun's back, awkwardly trying to soothe him.
Huo Tingxiao felt that his younger brother's behavior was inappropriate in public, after all, Huo Tingjun was already so old.
But when he saw those slightly red eyes, he couldn't say anything.
He knew that his younger brother had been seemingly carefree on the surface, but was actually panicking inside. However, he was away from home for most of the year and was a man of few words. He didn't know how to get along with his brother, who was more than ten years younger than him, and he felt powerless to offer any words of comfort.
Not to mention that the family had always advocated that a real man sheds blood but not tears, so Huo Tingxiao was actually a little bewildered by Huo Tingjun's appearance of crying so hard that he couldn't catch his breath.
She's eight years old already, how can she still cry like this?
Seeing how much he depended on the little peach blossom spirit, he felt a slight sense of relief. He didn't know what to do if he held him and cried.
"sister in law."
Wen Xingyue's gentle words of comfort only made him feel embarrassed.
He's so old, yet he's still crying in front of his older brother and sister-in-law. He stepped out of Wen Xingyue's embrace, wiped the tears from his face, lowered his head, his cheeks flushed, and dared not look up at his older brother and sister-in-law's teasing gaze.
"Little Fatty, this is delicious, you should try some!"
Wen Xingyue didn't think anything of it. It's normal for human cubs to cry. Today, she successfully got news about the person who harmed Xiao Pang, so she wasn't in a hurry. She held up the fried skewers and offered them to him to share.
These fried skewers are so delicious!
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
As long as their attention wasn't on his crying, Huo Tingxiao was happy to change the subject. He looked down at the bag of fried skewers covered in sauce in Wen Xingyue's hand and took a skewer of enoki mushrooms.
He wants to lose weight and eat less meat.
