Wen Hangxing leaned against the railing, supporting himself and looking into the distance. Jiang Sui stood nervously in front of him, with his head lowered, like a defeated but unwilling loser, quietly waiting for the victor's judgment.
In fact, the two of them have very similar personalities in some aspects. Moreover, they have been brothers for so many years, and they have been influenced by each other. They can understand what the other is thinking with just a look or a gesture.
Wen Hangxing said: "Do you still remember the first time we met?"
Jiang Sui raised his head slightly. Although he didn't understand why he suddenly brought this up, he still replied, "I remember." How could he not remember.
The two first met ten years ago, when six-year-old Jiang Sui was taken by his father to Wen Hangxing's birthday party. Although he wasn't favored, the man, resolute in not missing out on any opportunity to improve his status, thought that since Jiang Sui and Wen Hangxing were the same age, bringing him along might offer something to talk about. He ignored his stepmother's objections and brought him to such a party for the first time.
But soon, Jiang Yishan's wishful thinking was wrong. The birthday party of the prince of the Wen family invited almost half of the powerful business people. Jiang Yishan's status was too low, and he could not see the head of the Wen family at all. Even Wen Hangxing only glanced at him from afar.
However, Jiang Yishan didn't get angry and quickly started chatting with some people he wanted to curry favor with but couldn't usually meet. Zhang Wan naturally wouldn't take the initiative to bring Jiang Sui, and also took her two children to show off to those high-ranking officials.
Jiang Sui was left alone there. He was still young at that time, so he didn't understand why he was alone. Fortunately, he was used to being ignored. He took a look at the hall and slipped out the door. He turned left and right and came to a garden. However, he didn't expect that his stepbrother also followed him secretly and pushed him into the pond in the garden when he was not paying attention.
Jiang Shun laughed mockingly on the shore, ignoring his struggle and said: "The child of a bitch should go to hell with the bitch!" After that, he left without any regrets.
Jiang Sui had been sickly as a child, so after struggling for a few seconds, he had no strength left. His dark eyes were empty. Was he going to die soon? Would he see his mother after death? His face was wet, and it was hard to tell whether it was water from the pool or tears.
Just when he was about to give up struggling, he suddenly heard a childish voice: "Yan Junqi, hurry up! He's about to sink."
An irritable voice came, "Wen Hangxing, you just keep pushing me. If you have the guts, come pick up some branches."
"Wen Hangxing?" Jiang Sui's consciousness was in a daze, but he knew that the prince of the Wen family who was celebrating his birthday was called Wen Hangxing.
"Hurry, hurry! It's really going to sink!" Wen Hangxing said anxiously.
"I know, I know. I knew that sneaking out with you would be no good. Shouldn't we call for help in this situation? This is too dangerous for us." Yan Junqi said helplessly and worriedly, but his hands did not stop moving at all.
"Stop talking nonsense. This is so far from the main hall. He'll have sunk by the time we call for help."
Yan Junqi poked Jiang Sui with a branch and shouted, "Hurry and hold him."
Jiang Sui reached out to grab it, but it slipped away powerlessly. He had been soaking in the water for too long and had no strength left.
With a "splash" sound, it seemed as if someone jumped into the water. Jiang Sui heard anxious shouts in his ears, "Wen Hangxing, what are you doing! Why did you go down? Hey!"
A warm hand held him. Wen Hangxing approached him and was surprised to find that the child who fell into the water was quite delicate. His childish voice was calm and soothing. "Hold my waist and I will take you up."
Jiang Sui tried to open his eyes wide to look at him, and replied softly: "Okay."
Wen Hangxing listened to his trembling voice and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. I got a perfect score on the swimming test! I will definitely take you up."
Jiang Sui nodded his wet head firmly, "I believe you!"
Wen Hangxing cried out, "Ouch!" "Don't shake your head. The water droplets on your hair have fallen into my neck. It's so itchy, hahahaha."
Jiang Sui didn't know what was so funny about this. If the person in front of him was Jiang Shun, he would definitely get beaten up. No, Jiang Sui frowned. Jiang Shun would not save him. He would just push himself into the lake.
But Wen Hangxing would save him. Jiang Sui's eyes lit up, and his hand around Wen Hangxing's waist tightened a little.
Wen Hangxing thought he was scared, so he didn't say anything and just swam faster. Finally reaching shore, Jiang Sui saw a boy with thick hair and a red jersey approaching aggressively. "Wen Hangxing! How can you be so reckless? If anything happens to you today, we'll all be in trouble!"
Jiang Sui hid behind Wen Hangxing in fear. Wen Hangxing frowned and looked at his friend, "He's timid, don't scare him."
Yan Junqi snorted, his voice lowered under Wen Hangxing's gaze. He turned his gaze to Jiang Sui, who was shrinking a little, and said disdainfully: "Why are you acting like a little girl, whining like a woman?"
Just as Wen Hangxing was about to say something to him, he heard a timid voice, "He doesn't look like a girl, he's a man!" Mom said that Ah Sui will become a man of his own standing in the future!
Yan Junqi didn't expect him to refute him. Looking at the man's somewhat stubborn eyes, he compromised and said, "If you say he is a man, then he is a man."
He ignored Jiang Sui, who was delighted by his admission, and turned to ask Wen Hangxing, "What should we do now? Should we ask his parents to come and pick him up?"
Wen Hangxing had clearly thought more than he had. "Look at his clothes, and the fact that he fell into the water today. It's obvious that someone is deliberately targeting him, but his family doesn't take him seriously. Handing him over to his family now is not the best option."
"What should we do then?" Yan Junqi shrugged and spread his hands.
"Take him to my room first, and then you ask the housekeeper to invite Dr. Gu over." Wen Hangxing thought about it and came up with a solution.
"Okay." Yan Junqi obediently carried Jiang Sui and went up to the second floor through the back hall avoiding people.
Wen Hangxing found a set of clean clothes and handed them to Jiang Sui, "Go take a shower first, and then come out wearing my clothes."
Jiang Sui held the clothes without moving, and under Wen Hangxing's puzzled gaze, he whispered: "Thank you."
Wen Hangxing smiled brightly, "You're welcome, go ahead."
What happened next is very clear. The news that Jiang Sui was saved by Wen Hangxing after being treated by Dr. Gu spread quickly. Jiang Sui was taken back by Jiang Yishan who rushed over with profuse gratitude. Zhang Wan and others were so angry that they gritted their teeth. Before leaving, he glanced at Wen Hangxing and was given a phone number by Wen Hangxing.
Wen Hangxing looked at him and mouthed, "Call me if you get bullied."
Jiang Sui smiled at him, his eyes curved. From then on, because he had the favor of Wen Hangxing, his life at home became much better.
As for Wen Hangxing's reckless rescue and being scolded by Wen Zeli, Yan Junqi was also implicated and died of injustice, which was the last bit of the incident.
