On her fair skin, there were crisscrossing bluish-purple marks.
The marks were so obvious, some deep and some shallow, all fresh wounds, but clearly not caused in one go.
Geng Lang's hands trembled with anger: "She hit you again?"
“No.” Yao Na pulled down her clothes and said with her head down, “Lili… she just didn’t want to see me, so she pushed me.”
"You only pushed me once?!" Geng Lang shouted angrily, "You only pushed me once, and you have so many injuries?!"
Yao Na lowered her head even further: "She didn't want to eat, so I tried to persuade her..."
Yao Na's voice grew softer and softer. Geng Lang could already imagine that she had brought the food to Chunli with good intentions of improving their sisterly relationship, only to be met with cold words and harsh treatment.
Chunli didn't welcome her and told her to leave, but she kept smiling and explained her purpose. When Chunli saw that she wouldn't stop, she pushed her, resulting in the first collision.
Then, enduring the pain, she put down the food and urged Chunli to eat, but Chunli pushed her away again, spilling the food and soiling her clothes.
Perhaps because she felt that this was not enough to vent her anger, or perhaps Nana said something that offended Chun-Li, there was a third and even a fourth scuffle.
Geng Lang was so angry that his hands trembled.
His Nana was so kind, gentle, and good; she was the apple of his eye, yet Chun-Li trampled on her like this!
Geng Lang, his face contorted with rage, was about to step out when Yao Na grabbed his arm, asking, "Where are you going?"
"Go avenge her!" Geng Lang said hatefully, "I spared her once for Master's sake, but this time I will never forgive her!"
"Don't go! I beg you, don't go!" Yao Na pleaded softly, holding his hand. "She's my only biological daughter. She was kicked out of the base and left so easily, but did you see how my hair turned white overnight?"
As Yao Na spoke, her voice trembled with tears: "Before, even though Dad was over fifty, he didn't have a single gray hair. But look, Chunli has only been gone for half a year, and Dad seems to have aged ten years! Chunli is back, and although Dad didn't say it outright, can't you see the smile on his face?"
"Please don't go looking for Chunli, I beg you, Lang Ge, for Dad's sake, don't put him in a difficult position. Chunli's team members have already gone to find fuel and supplies. By the time they return, Chunli will have left. Let's just bear with it, and it will all pass, okay?"
Geng Lang stopped in his tracks, thinking of his master's graying temples.
He clenched his fist, then relaxed it, gently stroking Yao Na's cheek to wipe away her tears, and said softly, "Don't cry, I won't go looking for her."
Hearing this, Yao Na sniffed and gently nestled into Geng Lang's arms: "Brother Lang, you're so good to me. You're the best person in the whole world to me."
"Silly!" Geng Lang wiped the tears from her face with his thumb, looked down at her and said, "I am your man. If I am not good to you, who will?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Na slowly smiled and said, "Mm!"
“Don’t go see her anymore. Since she doesn’t like you, why go out of your way to be bullied by her?” Geng Lang sighed. “Don’t be so soft-hearted. She’s like a rock in a latrine.”
Yao Na's eyes flickered: "But...but we are family after all."
“You treat her like family, but she doesn’t see it that way!” Geng Lang said, “Listen to me, don’t see her in private anymore! Anyway, she’s leaving in a few days, just pretend she doesn’t exist!”
Yao Na did not agree, but said softly, "I...I still want to have a proper talk with her, just once, the last time."
