Seeing Wen Ziyun and his sister standing still at the door of Zhao Qingshan's house, Xiao Liu thought Wen Ziyun had stopped because he knew it was Zhao Qingshan's house. Xiao Liu didn't rush Wen Ziyun because he was carrying a lot of things in his arms. As a qualified logistics staff, Xiao Liu always kept in mind the right time to do what.
Wen Ziqiu always made loud noises when he was being naughty, which startled Wen Ziqing who was chopping wood.
Although Wen Ziqing was concentrating on chopping wood, he caught Zhou Yuanyuan's fiery gaze from the corner of his eye. Hey, hey, hey! Yuanyuan finally noticed him! Wen Ziqing was waving the axe like a flower, turning chopping wood into a show of axe.
Wen Ziqing was enjoying the infatuated gaze of his little girl when he was suddenly interrupted by Wen Ziqiu's scream. He was very unhappy. But what made Wen Ziqing most unhappy was the brother and sister themselves.
Wen Ziqing had suffered many setbacks at the hands of Wen Ziyun and her brother. Even though Wen Ziqing was taller than them and older than them, he couldn't stand up to the fact that the brother and sister had a mother who protected them.
Every time they returned to Qingshan City, the two siblings would bully Wen Ziqing in places where adults couldn't see. If Wen Ziqing ignored them, they would find ways to complain to Wu Xiuli that Wen Ziqing bullied them.
Wu Xiuli wouldn't scold Wen Ziqing in front of others, but she would lash out in front of Wen Yulong, asking him why he had such a sullen face when they returned. Was he unhappy? Or why Ziyun and Ziqiu loved their brothers so much, but Wen Ziqing ignored them, wondering if he was holding a grudge against her as his stepmother? Wen Yulong, upon hearing Wu Xiuli's words, would often call Wen Ziqing over and scold her.
Over time, Wen Ziqing began to view the siblings as ferocious beasts, never getting within a meter of them. Even so, the siblings still managed to bully Wen Ziqing, claiming he was withdrawn and unfriendly towards them.
Therefore, within the Wen family, the few days Wen Yulong and his companions were back in Qingshan City were a disaster for Wen Ziqing. Otherwise, Wen Ziqing wouldn't have been so eager to become stronger, finding a "martial arts secret book" and practicing it on his own, nearly becoming possessed and paralyzed.
Every little detail of the Wen Ziyun siblings brought back only bad memories for Wen Ziqing. If possible, Wen Ziqing didn't want them to appear in front of him.
However, today was different. Looking at the gifts in Xiao Liu's hands, Wen Ziqing could guess that Wen Ziyun and the others were probably visiting Zhao Qingshan's home for the New Year. Even if Wen Ziqing ignored them now, with Xiao Liu following them, they would eventually come in.
Wen Ziqing pursed his lips, put down the axe in his hand, stood up and walked to the gate of the yard. The place where Wen Ziqing had just chopped wood was blocked by the gate of the yard. The Wen Ziyun siblings standing at the gate could not see Wen Ziqing.
When they suddenly saw Wen Ziqing, Wen Ziyun and Wen Ziqiu were stunned.
"Brother, why are you here?" Wen Ziyun recalled that when he was in Qingshan City, Wu Xiuli mentioned that Wen Ziqing was "recruited as the grandson-in-law" by Zhao Qingshan, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart. Could it be that the country girl his mother Wu Xiuli was talking about was the beautiful little girl in front of him who looked like a flower fairy?
"Little mute, why didn't you say hello earlier when you were here? You made us look for you everywhere." Wen Ziqiu subconsciously shouted when he saw Wen Ziqing.
Wen Ziqing remained silent with a cold expression. He had no affection for his half-sister. The saying "raised from childhood" was true; even at such a young age, Wen Ziqiu already possessed the harsh traits of adulthood.
However, Wen Ziyun's eyes that often drifted towards Zhou Yuanyuan made Wen Ziqing even more unhappy. He knew that Zhou Yuanyuan was pretty, but she was his little girl and not everyone could look at her.
The stingy Wen Ziqing took a few steps closer, just blocking Wen Ziyun's view of Zhou Yuanyuan.
When Zhou Yuanyuan heard Wen Ziqiu's shout, a trace of anger flashed across her face.
How dare she call Brother Ziqing a "mute" right in front of me? Didn't she know she was protecting the iceberg? This little bitch came to her own territory to bully her people! She came to her house on New Year's Day to get scolded?
Zhou Yuanyuan stood up angrily, rushed to the door in a few steps, and with a swipe of her little hand, pulled Wen Ziqing behind her.
Wen Ziqing was caught off guard, pushed a few steps forward by Zhou Yuanyuan's powerful thrust. Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan's fierce, furious look, Wen Ziqing felt a surge of warmth in his heart. For two lifetimes, Wen Ziqing had always stood in front of others, but this was the first time someone had stood in front of him. Although the little girl was short and couldn't stand up to Wen Ziqing's towering stature, Wen Ziqing was inexplicably moved.
"Who are you scolding, little mute?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked fiercely, striking a classic teapot pose, one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Wen Ziqiu's nose. If it weren't for the unlucky feeling of seeing blood during Chinese New Year, Zhou Yuanyuan would have punched Wen Ziqiu in the face, letting her know why the flowers were so red.
So the little girl wasn't an idiot? Zhou Yuanyuan's sharp movements and fierce gaze made Wen Ziqiu shrink back. Just now, she was standing at the door calling the little girl an "idiot"! Did she hear it? Wen Ziqiu felt a little guilty.
Even as Zhou Yuanyuan transformed from a quiet beauty into a ferocious tigress, Wen Ziyun watched her with admiration. Up close, the skin on Zhou Yuanyuan's face was as smooth as a freshly peeled egg, making Wen Ziyun want to pinch it, hoping it would ooze water. Seeing the two red clouds of anger on Zhou Yuanyuan's face, Wen Ziyun felt his heart beat faster.
Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqiu were standing face to face, less than half a foot apart, but one was standing inside the door and the other was standing outside.
"The little mute scolded him." Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan's fierce look, Wen Ziqiu subconsciously pointed at Wen Ziqing behind Zhou Yuanyuan to show that he did not scold Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Oh! So you are a little mute!" After Zhou Yuanyuan said this, she looked at Wen Ziqiu with contempt, turned around, took Wen Ziqing's hand, and retreated slowly.
"Puchi!" Before Wen Ziqiu understood what was going on, Wen Ziyun had already figured out the meaning of Zhou Yuanyuan's words and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Little mute? He was clearly scolding Wen Ziqing, so why did he admit that he was a little mute?
"Wow!" Wen Ziqiu burst into tears after she understood what was going on. She had been spoiled by Wu Xiuli all her life. In N City, her classmates, mindful of her father being the deputy commander, would not stand against her.
Unexpectedly, in this small mountain valley, Wen Ziqiu experienced the feeling of being confronted by Zhou Yuanyuan's sharp words for the first time.
