Ning Hongyu clutched her small handbag and stood at the entrance of the No. 1 Middle School, waiting for her brother to come out.
My brother came to pick up his graduation certificate today.
Although she didn't take the college entrance exam, she still needed to get her high school diploma. Her brother told her to wait at the door and not to wander off.
She was extremely nervous.
This was the first time she had ever stood at the entrance of the No. 1 High School in the city.
She just turned fifteen two days ago.
Her brother made her a big cake, and she had never eaten anything so delicious before.
She was so moved by how delicious it was that she almost cried.
This outfit was also a new one my brother bought.
My brother threw away all those clothes he had before.
She tugged at her clothes again.
My brother said these clothes were cheap, but they were all new.
In the past, we only got to wear new clothes during the Lunar New Year, and even then, it wasn't every year; it was only once in a while.
Basically, they were all gifts from the older women in the village.
"Hey, who are you? What are you doing standing here?"
"Get out of the way."
Three teenagers walked over, the one in the lead being somewhat arrogant.
He walks with an air of superiority.
"You're blocking the way."
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
Ning Hongyu apologized repeatedly and moved to the side.
"Honestly, where did this woman come from? So tactless," the leading youth said, looking annoyed.
"Li Shaoyang, how old are you this year? You keep talking about women. Don't learn such nonsense at such a young age."
The security guard poked his head out from the security room and said, "Don't think you can bully girls just because they're easy to bully. If you're so capable, go bully her brother."
"Uncle, could it be that her brother is involved in organized crime?" However, just looking at this girl's demeanor, her brother doesn't seem like someone who works in the underworld.
There's no such thing as a good-for-nothing brother and a sister who's like a little rabbit.
Li Shaoyang looked Ning Hongyu up and down, and the sight made her feel flustered. She lowered her head tremblingly.
Her lips were tightly pursed.
Her eyes were red.
"Hey, if you put on a pair of rabbit ears, you'll look almost like a rabbit."
"I, I am, no, I am not, rabbit, rabbit."
"Turns out she was a little stutterer."
"I--"
"Hey, hey, hey, hurry up and go in, stop bullying the girls."
The security guard asked Ning Hongyu to stand further to the side, closer to the security room.
"Your brother should be out soon."
"Um."
Ning Hongyu nodded, not daring to look up at Li Shaoyang.
She found this person a little scary.
Although he is also quite handsome.
However, it was clear that Li Shaoyang was very interested in her.
The three teenagers didn't leave; they just leaned against the gate, teasing Ning Hongyu one after another.
The security guards repeatedly urged them to leave, but they refused.
Until Ning Hongyu suddenly looked up and called out, "Brother—"
The three of them followed her gaze and stood up straight the moment they saw Ning Hongze.
Holy crap, this woman's brother is Ning Hongze.
On that day, Ning Hong fought a battle with the stall owners, who were watching from the front.
He held Ning Hong in high esteem.
No one expected that Ning Hongze, who was like a tiger king, would have such a cute little rabbit-like younger sister.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that these people all seemed a bit stiff, Ning Hongyu even hid behind the security guards with reddened eyes. Ning Hong frowned and looked at Li Shaoyang and the other two with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.
"We were just teasing her, we didn't bully her."
The person behind Li Shaoyang spoke hurriedly.
Li Shaoyang: "—"
This idiot, why didn't he just confess?
That's incredibly stupid.
"They bullied you."
Ning Hong then reached out and ruffled Ning Hongyu's slightly frizzy soft hair.
Li Shaoyang watched Ning Hong rub her hands and suddenly felt his own hands itch.
This hair looks really nice to touch.
"They say I have a stutter."
Ning Hongyu said, puffing out her cheeks.
"So, are you one of them?"
"no."
She shook her head. "I'm not a stutterer."
“Then you should yell back.” Ning Hong pulled Ning Hongyu in front of Li Shaoyang and said, “Come on, tell them loudly whether you’re a stutterer or not.”
"I, I—"
"It's okay, your brother is here. These people can't beat you. If they dare to laugh at you, your brother will beat them up." Ning Hongyu was too timid.
It's really not even as big as a rabbit.
She is only fifteen years old, and there is still time to correct her mistakes.
He also plans to send her to tutoring classes, and when school starts, he'll try to see if he can get her into the junior high school section.
Due to health reasons, Ning Hongyu didn't continue her studies much after finishing the sixth grade of elementary school.
He stayed at home the whole time, helping his mother with small handicrafts to earn money.
If you continue to be so timid, you'll easily be bullied at school.
“Come on, tell them I don’t stutter.”
Li Shaoyang and the other two were clearly not good students in the traditional sense.
Of course, all three of them come from wealthy families.
They always like to imitate celebrities from Hong Kong.
In Ning Hong's view, they were clearly three somewhat silly teenagers.
"Speak."
Ning Hong encouraged him again, "Don't be afraid, your brother is here."
"I, I don't stutter, I can even recite tongue twisters."
Li Shaoyang and the other two replied blankly, "Oh."
