In front of Six Gates there is a street filled with snacks, offering quite a variety of distinctive street food.
The group first bought so fried snacks and then turned towards Tang’s Noodle House, each ordering a bowl of their signature noodles.
After the al, Shi Yang held Zhao ii’s hand and greeted Qu Chaozong and the Peng sisters: "I’ll take my sister around, you guys enjoy yourself."
Qu Chaozong secretly threw him a grateful look: "Alright then, when you’re done, wait for us at the school entrance."
Zhao ii hung onto her Brother Yangyang’s arm, and the two of them walked leisurely ahead.
Along the way, Shi Yang spent money to buy Zhao ii two cartoon stickers, a magic wand-shaped fruit candy, and a bag of popcorn.
Zhao ii held the popcorn, eating one piece herself and reaching out to feed Shi Yang: "Brother Yangyang, ah!"
Shi Yang cooperatively lowered his head and opened his mouth, biting into her little hand’s offerings one bite at a ti.
Halfway, they turned into a stationery store; Zhao ii rembered she didn’t have an eraser, so Shi Yang took her inside to pick one.
After eating so much popcorn, Shi Yang was thirsty and asked Zhao ii, "Do you want so water?"
Zhao ii licked her lips, dry, and nodded, "I do."
Shi Yang went to buy water, advising Zhao ii, "Don’t run off, just stay here and pick sothing you like, I’ll pay when I return."
Zhao ii nodded in agreent.
Shi Yang walked to the stationery store’s entrance, turned back to take a look, saw Zhao ii seriously picking things, and only then proceeded to the nearby supermarket.
Shi Yang bought a bottle of mineral water and a drink, and when returning to the stationery store, was dumbfounded.
Shi Yang rushed to the cash register, anxiously asking the shop assistant, "Did you see my sister? She was just picking an eraser there!"
The shop assistant was busy with sales, looked up at him, shook her head: "I didn’t notice, if she’s not here, you might want to look elsewhere."
Shi Yang charged out of the stationery store, anxiously calling for Zhao ii, searching everywhere, going through several stores, Shi Yang was getting frantic, his heart restless.
He knew Zhao ii must not have gone back to school alone; she definitely was sowhere on this street.
Shi Yang stood by the roadside calling out, "Zhao ii! ii!"
Two elentary school students ran towards him, looking panicked, running towards the snack street exit. Hearing Shi Yang call out, one little girl hurriedly shouted to him: "Aren’t you Zhao ii’s brother? There’s a fight over by the green space, Zhao ii is there!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yang’s brows imdiately furrowed, his face turning pale with fright, urgently asking: "Where is Zhao ii?"
The little girl pointed a finger at a location for Shi Yang.
Shi Yang sprinted towards the green space, hearing distant loud argunts and swearing.
When Shi Yang arrived, the two groups confronting each other in the green space had already started fighting.
He almost imdiately recognized that one of the fighters was Qu Chaozong, and saw Peng Rui and Peng Hui, the sisters, hugging each other and crying out in terror.
In the midst of the chaotic crowd, a small nimble figure desperately pulled at a boy who was waving fists to hit Qu Chaozong, shouting: "Stop fighting!"
"Get lost, you brat!" The boy swung his hand, slapping Zhao ii.
"ii!!!"
Shi Yang shouted ii’s na, a sharp pain stabbing his heart.
That boy slapped Zhao ii’s face, knocking her directly to the ground.
Shi Yang hollered furiously: "Damn you! How dare you hit my sister!"
A crimson rage exploded in Shi Yang’s eyes, and he charged forward, swinging his fist fiercely at the boy, landing a punch that made the boy scream and stagger back two steps, sitting on the ground.
Shi Yang chased after him, pinning him down, the second punch landed squarely on the boy’s brow ridge, breaking the skin instantly.
The boy fighting Qu Chaozong heard the commotion, turned his head to see his buddy flipped over on the ground, imdiately abandoning Qu Chaozong to help out.
Shi Yang hurried to Zhao ii, trying to pull her up, but hearing movent, turned to see a punch coming his way; he deftly ducked, using the montum to elbow strike back viciously, causing the boy to grimace in pain.
Shi Yang glared at the boy with deep, striking eyes, black and white distinct, blood-red threads overflowed, revealing utter savagery and fury!
The two stared each other down, Shi Yang paused, finding the boy familiar, before he could continue thinking, the boy pointed at him, cursing: "Damn! I’ve been looking for you!"
The boy finished shouting and raised his foot aiming to kick Shi Yang.
"You’re not allowed to hit my Brother Yangyang!"
Zhao ii, previously slapped to the ground, seeing her Brother Yangyang would suffer, imdiately got angry, eyes flushed, screaming hoarsely, her slender neck strained showing blue veins.
Without thinking, Zhao ii rushed forward, shielding Shi Yang, like an enraged little beast, fiercely protecting the person she wants to safeguard.
Zhao ii widened her eyes, looking at the approaching flying kick, instinctively hunching over, using her arms to shield herself.
Before she had finished moving, Qu Chaozong charged from the side, tackling the boy to the ground together, while a strong force behind lifted her up, spinning her around.
Shi Yang used his back to shield Zhao ii, paused for two seconds, without the expected pain arriving, he turned then saw Qu Chaozong wrestling with the boy.
Qu Chaozong thudded his fists fiercely at the boy, cursing: "Damn! I’ll beat you to death today!"
Qu Chaozong wasn’t soft either, hit hard, focused on the boy’s face, two punches had split the boy’s eye corner open with blood spraying.
Seeing the boy unable to stand anymore, Qu Chaozong climbed up, rubbing the painful spot from the fall before, cursing: "Damn!"
Zhao ii froze, realizing, hurriedly struggled wanting to get down, but as soon as she moved, Shi Yang hugged her tightly in his arms.
By reflex, Zhao ii kicked her dangling little legs twice, imdiately hearing Shi Yang growl: "Don’t damn move!"
Zhao ii was startled, turning dumbly, only seeing the side of Shi Yang’s face.
With Shi Yang’s chest pressed against Zhao ii’s back, breathing heavily, holding her tightly in his arms, listening to Zhao ii’s childish voice calling him, his heart felt suddenly pricked to tenderness, eyes filled with sudden moisture.
"Brother Yangyang." Zhao ii called timidly, she was frightened dumb by Shi Yang’s angry shout.
Shi Yang hugged Zhao ii, arms under her shoulders, turning her to face him completely.
Looking at Zhao ii, Shi Yang’s heart, previously tightened with anxiety and fear, relaxed abruptly, emotions surged like a tidal wave through his eyes.
Shi Yang roared low: "Are you crazy! Why did you shield ?"
Under Zhao ii’s thin eyelids, her dark pupils gazed at her Brother Yangyang: "That man wanted to hit you right in front of ."
Zhao ii pouted: "You are my brother; as long as I’m here, nobody can hurt you!"
Shi Yang clenched his teeth with anger... This brat... how can she make one want to whack her, yet be so endearing!
Suddenly, Zhao ii wrapped her arms around Shi Yang’s neck, pressing her flushed cheek against his chin, her warm breath spreading across his neck: "Brother Yangyang, I was wrong; I won’t do it again. Don’t be angry with , okay?"
Resting in her Brother Yangyang’s embrace, Zhao ii listened for any response, after a while, she only heard a muffled hum of agreent.
