"Look at you, such a coward!"
Xiao Tuanzi and Hou Xiangxiang exchanged a smile, placed the small ringed snake on their laps, and gently stroked it. They didn't know when it would wake up. At first, Xiao Tuanzi was also scared, but later she found that it was very well-behaved in Huo Xiaolong's hands and never bit anyone. It was also quite cute when it stuck out its tongue.
Cheng Xiangxiang
A pair of twins, a boy and a girl, aged seven or eight, walked hand in hand into the pavilion. These were the two children of the newly appointed prefect. The little girl greeted the little girl.
The little girl remained silent, just as before. She wasn't quite sure how to get along with people her age other than Huo Xiaolong, and always felt uncomfortable.
Why aren't you saying anything?
The young lady of the prefect's family was a little unhappy. It was understandable that she didn't speak when her father was the prefect, but now that her father was gone and she had no one to rely on, should she still remain silent as before?
"She doesn't like talking to other people," Huo Xiaolong replied.
Everyone has a different personality. Huo Xiaolong felt that there was nothing wrong with the little girl. It's not like she couldn't communicate normally. As long as she could talk when something happened, that was enough. Besides, she wasn't like that in the red-light district. She was very close to other kids.
"Who are you?" The young lady from the prefect's family was not polite. She hadn't even spoken to her, so why was this little potato interrupting?
I am her friend.
"Friends? She has friends?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong with my sister?"
The little dumpling didn't want to hear that. Who do you think you are? You think everyone has to listen to you just because you talk to them?
"She never speaks when she's with us, how could she possibly have friends?"
Actually, what the young girl said was just the truth, but as a young lady from a wealthy family, she was a bit impolite. She had come here to comfort Hou Xiangxiang and become her friend, but the words that came out of her mouth took a different turn.
"So you guys aren't popular? Look at me, I'm popular with her, and now she's with me, isn't she?"
"You little brat! What's it to you if my sister talks to her?!"
The little boy had a rather short temper, and he started speaking angrily.
"Sister Long'er is right, Young Master Sun has gone a bit too far."
Wang Bin had been repeatedly instructed by his mother to take good care of Huo Xiaolong. If she were to suffer any injustice and go home crying, wouldn't he get scolded by his mother? The young boy quickly stepped in to stop him.
"It was one thing for her to ignore people when her father was alive, but now that he's dead and she has no one to rely on, she's still putting on an act! What's she pretending for..."
Before the little boy could finish speaking, Huo Xiaolong put the snake in his crossbody bag, stood up, and kicked him in the butt.
"Can't you speak properly? If you can't, then don't speak."
Hou Xiangxiang's father wasn't a good person, but it's wrong for Xiaohaijie to be bullied because her father died. Aren't you just rubbing salt into the wound?
"You dare hit me?"
The little boy who was kicked to the ground didn't cry. He looked at Huo Xiaolong in disbelief, his hands on the ground, and said...
"What? You're being rude, and I'm bad at arguing with you?"
"I'm telling you! I just don't hit women! Otherwise I'll..."
Just as the young master of the prefect's family was about to push himself up with his hands on the ground, Huo Xiaolong kicked him back down.
"What else can you do? If your mother finds out you're talking so carelessly, she'll beat you too."
"You hit my brother!?"
The little girl who had just spoken became unhappy and shoved Huo Xiaolong. It looked like she pushed him quite hard, but the little dumpling didn't move at all. Instead, she took a few steps back herself.
Hou Xiangxiang was initially thrilled as she watched Huo Xiaolong's retreating figure as he stood up for her. She thought to herself that she had good taste, as her first friend was so loyal.
As a result, the prefect's daughter immediately gave her friend a nudge, which made the little girl somewhat unhappy.
"Stay away from her. It was your brother who said something unpleasant first."
"Cheng Xiangxiang! You'd rather be friends with this wild girl who came from who-knows-where than with me?"
Miss Sun's eyes were a little red. What bad intentions could a child have? He just wanted to be friends with the unattainable beauty from before.
"I'm not called Cheng Xiangxiang anymore. My father is dead. My name is Hou Xiangxiang."
"So you just don't want to be friends with me, right?"
Miss Sun was a little jealous. If she could play with her, all her girlfriends at home would definitely envy her for being so capable.
"Being friends requires mutual consent. Xiangxiang isn't willing, so why are you making things difficult for her?" Huo Xiaolong couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up. She really didn't understand.
Why force yourself to play together when you can't even get along?
"What's it to you! Do you think you're the only one with a mouth?!"
Miss Sun was already crying when she said this. Huo Xiaolong looked at her as if he had bullied her. He pouted and thought, "She's already crying. Maybe I should sit down and cry too?"
"Be more polite when you speak to my friend!"
Hou Xiangxiang stood in front of Huo Xiaolong, using her body to separate Miss Sun from her. Then the girl nudged Miss Sun with her hand, signaling her to step back.
"I don't care who you are! Your father is dead, and now I am the Prefect's daughter, you must..."
"Absolutely! Why are you so sticky? Didn't you hear that people don't want to play with you?"
Miss Sun is definitely not very bright. They are all from well-to-do families, so why is this little girl so polite and well-mannered?
"None of your business! Shut up!"
Miss Sun cried and shouted, her face flushed, almost driven to the brink of collapse by Huo Xiaolong's interruption. Seeing his sister crying like this, Young Master Sun got up and tried to grab Huo Xiaolong.
Before their hands could even touch, Cheng Xiangxiang kicked out with her leg.
"I told you, stay away from her, didn't you understand?!"
This was the first time the unattainable beauty had spoken to her, and all three sentences were about Huo Xiaolong. Miss Sun was not satisfied and wanted to fight with her brother.
These two kids are no match for Huo Xiaolong, let alone Hou Xiangxiang, who frequents brothels. The little girl had Young Master Sun on her back while Miss Sun, who was reaching for Huo Xiaolong, was being pulled along by her.
"Stop...stop hitting me..."
Wang Bin had barely uttered a word when Hou Xiangxiang gave him a look that scared him back down.
"My dad just died, but that doesn't mean you can bully me! If you're not polite to my friends again, I'll spank you both!"
The unattainable beauty she admired wasn't lonely at the top; she was a ruthless, man-eating flower. Now that Miss Sun had realized this, she was even more unhappy.
If only she could play with me, she would protect me like this too.
"You have no father, so you have no one to rely on! I'll tell my mother later! I'll have her deal with you two!"
Human joys and sorrows are not the same for everyone. Young Master Sun still doesn't know why his sister insisted on being friends with Hou Xiangxiang. He only feels ashamed to be hit by the little girl.
