Chapter 83: Extra 4 if line: Meeting at that time (2)
Two months later, Ye Xingzhou returned to the Ye family.
Qi Xingren was confused. Wasn’t his older brother an orphan adopted by his godfather? How come my dad and his whole family appeared overnight?
He didn't like Ye Xingzhou's father. When Ye Chonglin came to Qingping Garden to pick him up in person and greeted Mr. Chen politely, Qi Xing saw it and instinctively felt that he didn't like his elder brother's father. He didn't look like a good person. If he was a good person, why would his elder brother have ended up in an orphanage before?
The little kid pouted and went back to find Ye Xingzhou who was packing his luggage. He said directly, "Big brother, I don't like your dad."
"I don't like it either." Ye Xingzhou said lightly while packing his things without raising his head.
Qi Xing: "Then don't go back with him."
Ye Xingzhou: “No.”
He stuffed the SpongeBob SquarePants doll he had just bought yesterday into the kid’s arms: “This is for you.”
Qi Xing held the baby in his arms, but he was unhappy: "Big brother, you can't forget me when you go home."
Ye Xingzhou: “No.”
Qi Xing: "Then let's make a pinky promise."
The child raised his finger and looked up at him with an innocent look on his face.
Ye Xingzhou looked at him for two seconds and hooked his finger: "Okay."
Qi Xing seemed really afraid that his older brother would forget him. The day after Ye Xingzhou returned, he couldn't wait to ask Old Chen to arrange a driver to take him to Ye's house to visit his older brother.
Although he was a child, he was the grandson of Mr. Chen, and Mr. Chen's personal assistant also came with him. The Ye family did not dare to neglect him and treated him well with delicious food and drinks. Qi Xing said he wanted to meet Ye Xingzhou, but the hostess of the Ye family who received him hesitated and smiled awkwardly.
As soon as that bastard came back yesterday, he was locked up in the underground wine cellar by her sons for a whole night and was not released until early in the morning. He is now running a fever in the room. How could she dare to let Old Chen's people see him? Unfortunately, Ye Chonglin went to the company at the moment, and there was no one to support him.
The hostess tried to change the subject, but Qi Xing didn't buy it and shouted that he wanted to see his big brother. Ye Xingzhou heard her voice and came downstairs despite being stopped by others, calling him, "Wake up."
Qi Xing turned around and saw Ye Xingzhou, and immediately ran over. Seeing that Ye Xingzhou looked weak and his eyebrows were wrinkled, he asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Xingzhou just said "It's okay" when Chen Lao's assistant looked at him and asked hesitantly: "Your face is so red, do you have a fever?"
When Qi Xing heard this, he stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch his forehead, but failed.
Ye Xingzhou pressed his paw: "It's okay, it's not serious."
Qi Xing, the little kid, was not so easy to fool. He turned around and asked the hostess angrily: "Why did my big brother get a fever when he came to your house? Did you bully him?"
Being questioned by such a tiny kid, the hostess felt embarrassed and turned cold.
Assistant Chen asked about Ye Xingzhou again. Ye Xingzhou glanced coldly at the three brothers who wanted to sneak away, and calmly talked about what happened last night. He was deliberately locked up in the underground wine cellar by the three brothers and did not come out until nearly ten hours later.
The assistant frowned when he heard this. The temperature in the underground wine cellar is usually only around ten degrees. In this weather, people are still wearing light clothes or even short sleeves. It's no wonder that he would get sick and have a fever after being locked up in such a place for a whole night. These guys from the Ye family are really going too far.
But he was just an assistant and couldn't say anything, Qi Xing was furious: "You bad guys! Bullying my big brother! I will fight you!"
The kid rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up and beat someone up, but Ye Xingzhou put a hand on his shoulder and pulled him back: "Don't meddle with me."
Qi Xing: "They are so bad, I will beat them to death!"
"You can't kill anyone, so stop making trouble." Ye Xingzhou held the man down.
The little boy was glaring at the three brothers with his teeth bared and indignant. Although the three men felt a little guilty, they seemed quite happy. They didn't take the little brat seriously at all and even made faces on purpose to provoke him.
The assistant thought for a moment and asked Ye Xingzhou: "Do you want to go back with us first?"
Qi Xing also said: "Brother, come back with me!"
Ye Xingzhou refused. Since he had returned to the Ye family, he would not leave like this.
Qi Xing was very angry. Ye Xingzhou sent the angry child out the door and said, "Be good and go back. I'll come to see you in a few days."
Qi Xing: "What if they continue to bully you?"
Ye Xingzhou comforted him: "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with them."
Qi Xing simply couldn't believe it. How could his older brother, who was so "weak", possibly be able to deal with those three bad guys?
Glancing at the three brothers who had followed them out and peeking at the door, as if they were deliberately laughing at them, the child became even more angry. His eyes rolled around, and he took two steps forward, picked up the water pipe used for watering the flowers in the yard, unscrewed it directly, and sprayed the water at the three brothers.
His movements were too fast. Not only the three brothers were unprepared, even Ye Xingzhou was caught off guard. By the time everyone reacted, the three brothers had been sprayed with water all over their heads and bodies, like three drowned rats.
The little kid put his hands on his hips and laughed, letting you be bad and feeling proud!
Ye Wanqi screamed and rushed forward to beat Qi Xing. Ye Xingzhou immediately stood in front of Qi Xing. Chen Lao's assistant took another step forward and stretched out his hands to protect them.
However, Ye Wanqi did not succeed. Before he reached them, the Ye family’s housekeeper who came over in a hurry pulled him away.
After returning home, Qi Xing went to complain to his godfather. After hearing this, Old Chen commented: "The family tradition of the Ye family seems to be not very good."
Qi Xing didn't know what family tradition meant, but he knew that his godfather also thought that family was bad: "Will big brother be bullied by them again?"
"Don't worry," said Chen Lao with a smile, "If he wasn't mentally prepared, he wouldn't have gone back. If he couldn't protect himself, there was no need for him to go back."
Qi Xing: "But my elder brother is so pitiful. Will he not even have enough to eat there?"
Chen Lao couldn't help laughing: "That's not the case. If you are worried, just go and see him more often."
Of course, he was the one who brought the person back, so Mr. Chen couldn't just ignore it. Afterwards, he called Ye Chonglin and asked about the matter.
Ye Chonglin always regarded himself as a younger brother in front of him and was very respectful. He immediately promised to go back and discipline his son well so that the boy could rest assured.
No matter what he thinks in his heart, it is indeed something that Ye Chonglin wants for his biological son to have a relationship with Mr. Chen. There is nothing wrong with pretending to be his grandson and doing some superficial work.
That day, Ye Chonglin returned home and whipped his three sons.
Ye Chonglin pretended to teach his son a lesson. The three boys cried and wailed, and the "stepmother" sobbed and wiped her tears. Ye Xingzhou stood on the stairs and watched their show coldly, remaining indifferent from beginning to end.
After a few minutes he turned around and went upstairs without any interest in watching anymore. Even though it was a farce performed for others to see, it was better this way as it saved him from having to do it himself.
Qi Xing called to "comfort" him: "Big brother, you have to get better soon. I will protect you from now on and never let anyone bully you again."
Ye Xingzhou: "Yes, thank you."
Qi Xing felt relieved and said loudly, "You're welcome!"
After Qi Xing entered the third grade, Ye Xingzhou also entered the high school department of the same international school as him.
On the first day of school, the little kid came to the high school department for an "inspection" out of concern, and sure enough, he saw the three brothers and their men looking for trouble with Ye Xingzhou.
The kid immediately stepped forward to block Ye Xingzhou, looking up at the group of high school boys and glaring: "What are you doing? Don't try to bully my big brother!"
Ye Wanyao sneered: "Ye Xingzhou, is this all you have? Isn't it shameful to rely on a primary school student to help you out?"
In fact, the brothers didn't dare to do anything too excessive now. At most, they would say a few sarcastic words to Ye Xingzhou, which was not very serious.
Ye Xingzhou didn't want to pay any attention to them at all. He packed his bag and was about to leave. But Qi Xing, the little kid, rushed out without any reason and wanted to stand up for him like a fighting cock. He had no choice but to do nothing.
"Come on, I'll take you to eat ice cream."
This sentence successfully diverted the children's attention. Ye Xingzhou led his people away, no longer paying attention to the cursing of the people behind him.
"They are all so mean. Big brother, if you get bullied, you must tell me." Qi Xing reminded him worriedly.
Ye Xingzhou looked at him with amusement: "What can you do even if I tell you? Are you going to complain to your uncle again?"
Qi Xing waved his fist: "I'll beat them to death."
Ye Xingzhou: "Then let's talk about it when you grow up."
Qi Xing looked down at his own small body, then looked up at Ye Xingzhou, who was much taller than him. He felt inexplicably discouraged. Why couldn't he have been born a few years earlier? It's all because his parents didn't work hard enough!
Although Ye Xingzhou looked down on him, Qi Xing still came to the high school department to wait for him after school every day. Ye Xingzhou would ride his bike to take him home first and then go back to the Ye family. They would go to Qingping Garden together on weekends.
High school students and elementary school students can actually be friends.
Soon everyone knew that Ye Xingzhou had a follower of a primary school student. There was no end to the ridicule and sarcasm, but Ye Xingzhou never bothered to pay any attention.
He didn't care at all that Ye Wanyao and his brothers were isolating him, as he was used to being alone anyway.
Although Qi Xing is only an elementary school student, with such a lively and cheerful child following him and teasing him every day, his days are much more interesting than before. He can even remain calm when facing the group of jackals and tigers of the Ye family.
Qi Xing is a good kid in every way except that he is a little spoiled. But that's okay, because children who grow up being spoiled are always like that.
While thinking about these things, Ye Xingzhou was outside the ice cream shop at the school gate, leaning on his bicycle, looking at his phone and waiting for Qi Xing.
It is also a problem for children to be too greedy.
Someone came over and called him. Ye Xingzhou looked up and saw that it was Lin Zhinian, who was in the same class with him.
Lin Zhinian was one of the few classmates who could chat with him, but that was all. Ye Xingzhou nodded indifferently: "What's the matter?"
Lin Zhinian took out a workbook from his bag, saying that he had just bought it at the bookstore, and asked him if he wanted it: "This is the last one in the store, and I see you don't have it. If you want it, I'll give it to you. I'll go to a bigger bookstore tomorrow to have a look."
Before Ye Xingzhou could speak, the child's habitual drawn-out voice sounded behind him: "Big brother——"
Qi woke up, looked at Lin Zhinian, turned around and stuffed a freshly bought ice cream cone into Ye Xingzhou's hand: "Are you going or not?"
Ye Xingzhou said to Lin Zhinian, "No need, I'll buy it myself," stuffed the ice cream back to Qi Xing and asked him to hold it, then got on his bike and took the child away.
Qi Xing was sitting in the back seat, swinging his feet and eating ice cream. Seeing Lin Zhinian still standing there, he curled his lips and said, "Big brother, who was that just now?"
Ye Xingzhou: "Classmate."
Qi Xing: "Do you want to be friends with him?"
Ye Xingzhou: "Just classmates."
Qi Xing was satisfied: "Then don't be friends with him. It's enough for me to be friends with you."
He couldn't see Ye Xingzhou's expression, but he could hear Ye Xingzhou's smiling voice: "How old are you? Are you so domineering? You're the only friend I have?"
Qi Xing said confidently: "Big brother is mine."
Ye Xingzhou: "What about you? Aren't there still glass marbles in your pencil case that your neighbor's brother gave you?"
Qi Xing: "Brother, please don't be so stingy."
Ye Xingzhou: "I'll learn from you."
Qi Xing: "My neighbor's brother has gone to America, and I only have one friend, my big brother."
"Little liar," Ye Xingzhou exposed him, "Didn't you go to your classmate's house for a birthday party yesterday?"
Qi Xing did not feel guilty: "He is also a classmate. My only good friend is my big brother."
Ye Xingzhou's laughter was carried by the wind, more relaxed and cheerful than before: "Okay, just remember this sentence."
