"Uncle, more, Xiaobao wants to play more."
"good."
After the two had had their fill of fun, it was time to eat.
After dinner, a bath, and putting Xiaobao to sleep, Ji Xiaoxiao and Xia Xiu had a long talk by candlelight.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Ji Xiaoxiao took out the first-aid kit and helped Xia Xiu treat his wounds.
After organizing his thoughts for a moment, Xia Xiu said, "There are a few rich kids among us who don't like me, so they teamed up with other classmates to bully me."
They spoke in a few words, avoiding the important points and completely missing the main issue.
"They can't stand you?" Ji Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Our Xiaoxiu is handsome, has a good temperament, and top academic performance. No wonder they can't stand you."
Xia Xiu blushed and said, "Sister."
"And then? What's the important part?" Ji Xiaoxiao gently applied the ointment.
"No, that's all," Xia Xiu denied.
Ji Xiaoxiao scoffed and said, "Xiao Xiu, you've been practicing the White Lotus Holy Technique with your sister for so long. It's normal for you to take a couple of punches when dealing with a few kids who haven't even grown up yet. But to be beaten so badly is just too bizarre."
Ji Xiaoxiao put down the cotton swab and stared intently at Xia Xiu. Xia Xiu lowered his head uneasily, biting his lip, looking very conflicted.
"We need another powerful dose," Ji Xiaoxiao thought to herself.
"Xiao Xiu, I raised you all these years not so you could be bullied. You're all grown up now, you have a man's pride, and you're too embarrassed to complain to Ji Xiaoxiao, but we're siblings. You can tell me anything you're suffering from. Would I laugh at you? Or do you, Xia Xiu, not consider me, Xia Qing, your sister?"
"No!" Xia Xiu shouted. "You are my sister." Xia Xiu reached out and grabbed Ji Xiaoxiao's clothes, just like his instinctive, panicked action when he was a child.
"Then why did you hide it from your sister? Look at yourself, look what you've been done to!"
Xia Xiu opened his mouth, but ultimately could no longer hide the truth.
“Those people are rich kids, their families are powerful and wealthy, and some are even high-ranking officials in X City. If I fight back or do anything, they’ll make our whole family get out of X City and shut down all your shops.”
Xia Xiu clenched his fists tightly, hating his own powerlessness.
Ji Xiaoxiao stretched out her slender finger and tapped Xia Xiu's forehead, then smiled and said, "Just like that?"
"elder sister."
Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Xiaoxiu, who do you think your sister is? Those clowns can easily threaten and bribe them, but they can't control your sister."
“Sister, they outnumber us and hold high positions of power. There are only three of us, and Xiao Bao is still too young to help us. If my brother-in-law were here, perhaps…”
"Don't talk about him," Ji Xiaoxiao said solemnly. "Xiaoxiu, you must remember, never go near Lin Mu alone. He has ill intentions towards you."
"My sister-in-law is very nice!" Xia Xiu's mind gradually cleared up, and he remembered Lin Mu's kind and gentle manner towards him in the past, and naturally he still had some goodwill towards Lin Mu.
"That's just an illusion. Do you want to know the truth?"
Xia Xiu nodded. He didn't want to be clueless and foolishly happy; he wanted to know about the conflict between his sister and brother-in-law.
Ji Xiaoxiao did not hide anything from Xia Xiu and told him the truth in detail.
"He's such a person? What about Xiao Bao?" Lin Mu also has a sickly son. What about his Xiao Bao?
Xia Xiu racked his brains but couldn't figure out that Lin Mu's previous kindness to him was for ulterior motives; he was treating him like a pig to be fattened up and slaughtered.
"Isn't this something that needs you and me?"
It's best to avoid scumbag fathers.
Xia Xiu checked the time; it was already 10 p.m., and he should go back to school.
"I'm not going back. I'll sleep at home tonight, and my sister will go to school with you tomorrow."
The school I carefully selected turned out to be rotten inside, despite its glittering exterior. I made a mistake.
"Sister, are you going to school?" Xia Xiu stood up abruptly.
"What? You don't welcome your sister getting revenge for you?"
It was almost time, so Ji Xiaoxiao told Xia Xiu to brush his teeth and go back to bed to sleep.
Goodnight, sister.
"good evening."
Ji Xiaoxiao turned off the light.
The next day.
The dark clouds dispersed, the sun shone brightly, and the weather was unusually warm.
"I want to go too! I want to go too!"
When Xiao Bao heard that Ji Xiaoxiao was going to school with Xia Xiu, he started clamoring to go with her.
“Xiao Bao.” Ji Xiaoxiao’s face darkened.
"No, Xiao Bao wants to go too."
Xiao Bao pulled at Ji Xiaoxiao's pants, looking completely unfazed.
He wouldn't listen to reason, and Xia Xiu would interfere with any attempts to punish him, so Xiao Bao's scheme succeeded.
Upon entering the school, Ji Xiaoxiao arrived at the principal's office, guided by Xia Xiu.
With a bang, Ji Xiaoxiao kicked open the door.
"Who are you?" the headmaster asked in alarm.
Ji Xiaoxiao explained her purpose and, incidentally, pushed Xia Xiu to the top.
“I entrusted my brother to your school, and this is how you treat him.”
After sleeping all day, Xia Xiu's face was even more swollen.
