Su Xiaowu had just gotten up and was about to go out for his morning exercise when he heard Chen Danqing ask her about her brother. He immediately remembered how Chen Danqing had tricked him into calling her "sister." Based on the principle that it's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal, he readily agreed.
Su Xiaowu was not afraid at all when he saw Chen Danqing walking towards him with a cold aura and a fierce demeanor. He was confident that if Chen Danqing hit him, he would fight back and Chen Danqing would definitely not be able to beat him!
To his surprise, Chen Danqing simply walked up to him with a cold face and uttered two words indifferently, "Childish!"
Then, she turned around and walked towards Chen Jie's room, which Xiao Ruanruan had just pointed out to her.
Su Xiaowu's pent-up anger finally boiled over, and he clenched his fists in hatred. He had been prepared to fight Chen Danqing, but Chen Danqing had dismissed him as childish. He was so angry that he almost suffocated.
Finally, to vent his frustration, he had no choice but to walk out with a sullen face, set up a horse stance in the open space, and begin practicing his punches with great force.
Before long, almost all the boys in the village had gathered in the open space, lined up behind Su Xiaowu, assumed a horse stance, and began practicing with him.
Chen Danqing knocked on Chen Jie's door. After Chen Jie got up and opened the door, his pupils dilated in surprise as he looked at Chen Danqing standing outside. "Danqing, what brings you here?"
Brother Su, didn't you say you and Grandpa had already gone back?
“Brother.” Chen Danqing raised her clear black and white eyes to look at Chen Jie, and the coldness around her disappeared in an instant. “Grandpa went back, so I came here to keep you company.”
Chen Jie opened his mouth and his throat moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Little Ruanruan noticed that Brother Chen Jie and Sister Danqing had something to say to each other. After greeting them, she ran to find Brother Gu Chen, intending to make breakfast for everyone together.
After Chen Danqing followed Chen Jie into his room, she closed the door behind her.
Chen Jie sat dejectedly in the only chair in the room, his brows furrowed tightly, and he even scratched his head in pain.
“Brother…” Chen Danqing stood beside him, calling out cautiously and somewhat at a loss.
After grabbing a handful of his hair, Chen Jie looked up at Chen Danqing and asked, "Danqing, why did you come? Is it because you think I'm useless?"
In the initial period after Chen Jie underwent cosmetic surgery, all his studies were taught one-on-one by tutors at his home. Without any comparison, he did not realize the gap between himself and others, so his mindset was quite normal.
However, in order to enable him to have normal social activities, Grandpa Chen sent him to school. In his first exam, he ranked last in the entire grade.
Because he missed five years of his life, he wasn't very good at interacting with people, so his relationship with his classmates was naturally not good. In addition, he usually had a cold and aloof demeanor, so after he got the lowest score, some people in the class naturally mocked him.
It was from that time that Chen Danqing noticed her brother seemed to have changed...
Chen Danqing, who always appeared cold and aloof in front of others, completely panicked when questioned by Chen Jie. She hurriedly explained, "Brother, it's not like that. I just missed you, so I wanted to come and be with you."
Chen Jie looked at Chen Danqing with a cold, mocking gaze, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips. "Little sister, it's really okay. I despise myself too. I'm just so useless..."
As Chen Jie spoke, he gripped his pants tightly with his hands, which were resting on his knees.
Before that fire, he was once a prodigy, so when he first recovered, he was full of confidence. He even thought he was capable of surpassing Gu Chen and becoming the one who could protect Xiao Ruanruan.
But now...
Who does he think he is?
He's good at nothing.
If he's not good at studying, he can catch up gradually.
But this kidnapping made him realize that what he lacked was not only the knowledge he should have learned in those years, but also the experience of growing up, and many other things that he could hardly make up for.
Chen Danqing lowered her head, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes, a stark contrast to her usual arrogant and cool demeanor. "Brother, I'm sorry..."
Hearing Chen Danqing utter those three words with a heart full of guilt, Chen Jie suddenly snapped out of his daze and stopped feeling sorry for himself.
Do they all know how that fire was caused?
The way he's acting now isn't because he's disgusted with himself, but because he's punishing Chen Danqing.
He squatted down, gently hugged Chen Danqing, patted her back with one hand, and coaxed her softly, "Danqing, that's not what I meant."
I'm a little annoyed that I got kidnapped this time because of my carelessness, which caused my grandfather to be threatened by those criminals.
We agreed to look forward together and never bring up the past again. My brother will never mention those things again...
Chen Danqing nodded gently. "Brother, do you want to go home?"
Chen Jie grasped Chen Danqing's shoulders with both hands and shook his head. "These past two days, I've noticed that Brother Su and the others are staying here not only to build this small village, but also to deal with those criminals. I want to stay and help."
Chen Danqing's eyes lit up for once. She looked at Chen Jie and said firmly, "Then I'll go with my brother."
Chen Jie reached out and ruffled Chen Danqing's hair. "Okay!"
