Upon hearing the sound, Tang Wan instinctively turned her head, but the muzzle of the gun in her hand was pointing towards the ground, almost making "intimate contact" with it.
Seeing Tang Wan's actions, the boy behind her rushed to her side, grabbed her, and lifted her up.
He said, "What are you doing?"
Then his gaze fell on the gunstock that Tang Wan was holding, and he belatedly laughed out loud: "You're pretty shrewd."
Tang Wan looked at the boy in front of her with innocent eyes when she heard this "unfounded" accusation.
And those beautiful eyes were filled with pure color, and the way she tilted her head made her look just like a ragdoll cat that didn't like to talk.
The boy shook his wrist, as if he were shaking a ragdoll cat, and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
His actions seemed a bit rough, but they were actually very measured and did not make Tang Wan uncomfortable.
However, this action still made the two friends next to him a little worried.
Apart from Chen Shuo.
Gou Xi couldn't take it anymore and rushed forward, kicking the boy in the shin while threatening, "Let go of Tangtang, or I'll break your leg!"
Lu Ze, who was standing nearby, quickly grabbed Gou Xi's hand and pulled her back, away from the young man, preparing to try to reason with him first before resorting to force.
Unlike Gou Xi, Lu Ze knew this young man.
He is the eldest son of the Chen family.
Unlike his sharp-tongued younger brother, this older brother, Chen Hexiao, is a complete "delinquent."
They are the kind of people who get a headache just from their parents mentioning them.
From a very young age, Chen Hexiao was a typical disobedient child. In the Chen family, a family of scholars, he insisted on learning martial arts and Sanda.
When I get a little older, I'll start playing esports games.
But there was nothing he could do; no matter how unconventional he was, he consistently maintained good grades and never dropped below an A.
Chen Hexiao is ten years older than Tang Wan and just started high school this year. He is at the age where he is full of energy.
Lu Ze didn't want to argue with Chen Hexiao, and he didn't want Chen Hexiao to hurt his friend, so he said, "Tangtang can't speak properly, please don't make things difficult for her."
At this point, Lu Ze paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand, facing Chen Hexiao, his attitude somewhat forceful: "Please put Tangtang down and give her back to me."
Chen Hexiao looked at the two little brats facing him as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Instead of letting go of his hands, he lifted Tang Wan even higher, determined not to let them touch her, while saying something cheeky.
"Want me to give it back to you? Then you might need to give me something in return."
"You know me, I only do things according to my mood."
"I'm not in a good mood right now, so I don't want to give this candy back to you."
Tang Wan glanced at her brother, whose personality was rather unpleasant, after hearing his words. She felt a little strange; she didn't sense any displeasure from him, but just thought he might be a bit bored.
They were teasing Lu Ze and Gou Xi.
Thinking of this, Tang Wan's gaze also turned to Chen Shuo sitting to the side.
They found that he didn't do anything strange.
It seems they've long been used to it.
Tang Wan roughly guessed that the older brother in front of her was probably just a person with a bad personality.
Just as Tang Wan was thinking this, Lu Ze was startled by Chen Hexiao's words. He grabbed Gou Xi, who was itching to fight, and asked, "What can we do?"
This question is cleverly phrased; it avoids simply asking "Why should I?" in a sullen manner, which would only escalate the conflict.
Instead, they should place themselves on an equal footing and engage in a fair transaction.
Although Chen Hexiao knew about Lu Ze's ulterior motives, he didn't care at all.
Or rather, he was neither dissatisfied nor surprised by it.
Children who grow up in this circle, even in their early years, will seize their opportunities at the first moment.
Vision and judgment are the key factors that determine the outcome.
Complaining is useless; that's what the weak do.
Regrouping is the key to victory.
Chen Hexiao pretended to think for a moment, then took the shooting rifle from Tang Wan's hand, tossed it around in his hand a few times, and said, "Let's use this one."
"I'll give you five bullets. If your combined score is better than mine, you can take this brat back with you."
"But if there's no one taller than me..."
At this point, Chen Hexiao paused for a moment, then placed Tang Wan next to Chen Shuo and said calmly, "Then it's no problem for us to have another little sister."
Tang Wan's existence was no secret to Jing Jiao.
However, most people have never seen Tang Wan and do not know what she looks like.
However, the children couldn't keep quiet. As long as you followed their comment that "she looks most like a kitten," you could recognize Tang Wan at a glance.
She's so clever and adorable; she's clearly a very lovable child.
She always wears clothes that cover most of her body, only revealing her fair and delicate face, making her look like a wary little animal.
It makes one want to pity them.
Even Chen Hexiao, who is not very compassionate, teased Tang Wan the moment he saw her.
Tang Wan sat next to Chen Shuo, quietly watching him set up the test environment, and inexplicably felt that some lines of code looked familiar.
"It's the code you uploaded yesterday. Wenzhi expanded it a bit, and the way it's used is different from your design."
"It will probably be put into use later, and you will get a share of the profits."
Tang Wan didn't actually mean that. She was just curious about Chen Shuo's construction method, as the calculation logic seemed to be different from what she and Fu Wenzhi had produced.
However, Chen Shuo held his computer and turned slightly to the side.
It's as if she's distancing herself from Tang Wan.
Tang Wan was all too familiar with this kind of movement.
Rejection, dislike, aversion...
These negative emotions accompanied Tang Wan's growth. She recognized people's malice at an early age, so she was always cautious.
However, perhaps because she met Lu Lin, or perhaps because she met Gou Xi and Lu Ze on the show, she briefly forgot that she was an unlikable child.
That's why I got a little carried away for a moment.
Tang Wan didn't wait for Chen Shuo to say anything more before turning around and sitting a little further away.
She didn't cry or make a fuss; she remained calm and honestly accepted the fact that she wasn't liked.
And they've gotten used to it.
He slowly clenched his fists, appearing somewhat uneasy.
She thought she was different from before.
So it turns out I'm still not liked.
So, when he came to Chen Shuo's house to play, he wasn't really happy either, was he?
Should I leave sooner?
Just as Tang Wan was lost in thought, she suddenly heard the sound of a computer closing next to her.
The sound was somewhat crisp, which startled Tang Wan, who was standing to the side.
But she didn't dare to look up, didn't dare to look at Chen Shuo's disgusted eyes, so she subconsciously curled up her body, trying to deceive herself and pretend that she wasn't disliked.
However, the next second, Chen Shuo's cold voice interrupted Tang Wan's panic.
"I don't hate you."
"I'm just not used to being this close to people."
