The little stutterer was a little timid, and the other side was outnumbered, so several of them punched and kicked him at once.
The little stutterer tried desperately to reach the book, but he couldn't reach it at all.
"What are you doing?"
After class at the private school, Zhang Xiulin and some classmates were going to Fengya Bookstore to buy books when they happened to see some kids fighting.
The children who were fighting were boys, and Zhang Xiulin and others were girls.
In an era where women are superior to men, boys don't dare to resist girls.
They looked at each other and immediately dispersed.
They left, exposing the people they had beaten.
The little boy was picking up the book from the ground and gently wiping the dust and footprints off it with his sleeve, tears falling as he wiped.
"Xiaojie." Zhang Xiulin recognized the little boy.
Xiao Jie, also known as the little stutterer, heard the familiar voice, turned his head and met Zhang Xiulin's gaze. His wet eyes lit up, but then dimmed again.
Zhang Xiulin talked to her classmates for a few words, and several of them nodded and left first. She walked towards Xiao Jie.
The little boy was dirty and his clothes were torn into a mess. His originally pretty and fair face also had bruises from being fooled. His eyes, like a deer in the woods, were wet. He looked quite embarrassed and pitiful.
"Sister Lin." He called softly, his voice soft and sticky like a little lamb, and this time there was a cry in his voice.
"Xiaojie, where are you hurt? Come on, Sister Lin will take you to see a doctor."
Xiao Jie looked at Zhang Xiulin's hand, hesitated for a moment, and placed his own fair and tender little hand in her palm.
The clinic was not far away, and the two arrived there quickly.
The little guy's skin was white and tender, so a bump would easily leave marks. Even though he was a child, those people showed no mercy when they attacked him. They kicked and stomped on him. Xiao Jie's legs and arms were all covered with marks from being kicked. As for the marks on his body...
Zhang Xiulin couldn't see it, and girls were not allowed to look at boys' bodies casually. The doctor took Xiao Jie behind the curtain to apply medicine. The doctor said that Xiao Jie also had signs of being beaten on his body.
"What a sin! Such a beautiful little baby was beaten like this." The doctor said with heartache.
Zhang Xiulin was waiting outside the curtain, listening to the little guy's soft groans and sobs coming from inside, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
Zhang Xiulin is still studying in Li Xiucai's private school. A year has passed and she will be taking part in the county examination soon.
During this period, in addition to going home and staying in the private school, Zhang Xiulin also often went to bookstores to read.
Fengya Bookstore was opened in Renhe County a few months ago. It is very large and has a large number of books in various categories.
Since Fengya Bookstore opened, Zhang Xiulin often went there with his classmates to read and buy books.
I met Xiao Jie by chance.
Xiao Jie is eight years old this year, one year younger than her.
He is the young master of Fengya Bookstore.
Zhang Xiulin has a good impression of him.
She likes anything beautiful and is always a bit more lenient towards beautiful people and things. In the words of her brother and sister-in-law, she is obsessed with looks.
Xiao Jie, who is beautiful and well-behaved, is very much liked by Zhang Xiulin.
Xiao Jie is timid and always acts shy when facing her, but he always calls her "Sister Lin" and secretly gives her some delicious food when she goes to Fengya Bookstore.
From time to time, he would run to the private school to bring her things.
Zhang Xiulin treats him as his younger brother and they have a good relationship.
But she didn't expect that today she would encounter Xiao Jie and be beaten by a few thugs.
"Sister Lin."
Zhang Xiulin was thinking about how to catch those thugs when he heard a timid and soft voice in his ear.
