After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 476

Chapter 476: Engage in a Little Brawl
Wei Xuhong heard the sound and turned his head to see a ball hurtling towards him. He froze in place, unable to move.

Closing his eyes tightly, he braced for the impending pain. Yet, to his surprise, the anticipated agony did not arrive.

Curiously, he cautiously opened his eyes to find a tall figure standing before him.

Ye Lingfeng deftly caught the basketball with a slight turn of his hand and looked at Wei Xuhong, asking, “Sorry, I didn’t notice you here. Are you hurt?”

Zhouzhou, eyes widening at Ye Lingfeng’s swift movement, couldn’t help but exclaim, “So fast!”

Then, realizing her reaction, she quickly ran over, tilting her small head and asking, “Brother, did it hit you?”

Seeing them, Wei Xuhong remained stunned for a moment before hastily waving his hand and nervously shaking his head, “No, I’m fine.”

Concerned, Zhouzhou reached out to check on him, but as her hand approached, Wei Xuhong suddenly retreated, instinctively clutching his head with a fearful look in his eyes.

Surprised, Zhouzhou looked at him, not understanding his reaction.

Wei Xuhong finally realized the situation and was about to speak when someone called out to him.

“Wei Xuhong, what are you doing? It’s taking you forever to pick up a ball. Can you hurry up?”

Hearing this, Wei Xuhong quickly responded, “Coming, coming.”

With that, he nodded to Zhouzhou and the others, picked up the basketball, and ran off to the opposite basketball court.

Ye Lingfeng glanced at the group of children, noticing they were about the same age as Qin Xi.

At this moment, Qin Xi also approached and said, “Huh, it’s him?”

“Fourth brother, do you know him?”

Qin Xi nodded, “He’s from our class, his name is Wei Xuhong. But when did he start hanging out with Qian Duoduo’s group?”

Wei Xuhong’s family wasn’t well-off, and he was very introverted, speaking very little.

On the other hand, Qian Duoduo came from a wealthy family and loved to bully classmates from less affluent backgrounds.

So, seeing them together, Qin Xi found it quite puzzling.

However, he didn’t dwell on it, instead pulling Zhouzhou aside and saying, “Come on, let’s go and have a fight.”

“Okay, okay!” Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up at the suggestion, eagerly nodding her head.

As she was about to pull Qin Xi to find a place, she was stopped by Qin Lie grabbing the back of her collar.

Qin Lie held onto the little chubby girl’s waist, leading her towards the center of the basketball court. “No fighting, let’s continue playing basketball.”

Zhouzhou indeed needed to lose some weight, or it would be troublesome if she became too heavy.

Despite practicing martial arts with Ye Lingfeng every day, she hadn’t grown much taller.

It seemed Ye’s efforts weren’t very effective, so maybe she should play basketball and jump more.

Unaware of his thoughts, Zhouzhou frowned, feeling a bit dejected but ultimately sighed in resignation.

Well, as long as daddy is happy. Being a child is truly difficult.

Ye Lingfeng followed suit, casually patting Qin Xi’s head. “Go and invite your friends over to play.”

Playing basketball was enjoyable, but Zhouzhou had too few playmates. Apart from the children from the Qin family, she only hung out with Huo Ji’an more often.

With Qin Ren, it was all about being indulged with stories or exploring the path from science to metaphysics.

With Qin Er, it was always about making money. And with Huo Ji’an, the most they did was go to amusement parks. It wasn’t as exciting.

Basketball was more fun, mainly because it helped with growth.

Yes, Ye Lingfeng also felt the little girl was a bit short.

The little pumpkin didn’t know what they were thinking, assuming they truly wanted to play basketball. Following the principle of “when in Rome,” she joined in.

Qin Xi also went to call others, all of whom were good friends with him. When they heard there was a good game going on, they all came over.

As they walked over, they happened to pass by Qian Duoduo’s group.

Seeing so many people, Qian Duoduo directly asked, “Qin Xi, where are you guys going?”

Qin Xi wasn’t familiar with him and had always disliked his bullying behavior, so he ignored him and walked on.

However, Qian Duoduo didn’t mind and glanced towards Qin Lie, then leaned over and said, “You’re going to play basketball with your little uncle, right?”

Saying this, he suddenly pushed Wei Xuhong forward. “Let Wei Xuhong pick up the balls for you; he’s good at it.”

His father had always wanted to establish a relationship with the Qin family. At dinner yesterday, he mentioned it and kept urging him to get along with Qin Xi.

Unfortunately, Qin Xi was always aloof and proud, rarely responding to him. But the Qin family was quite powerful.

His father had said, smart people know who to offend and who not to offend. The Qin family was currently not to be offended.

So, Qian Duoduo told himself not to argue with Qin Xi and generously pushed his servant forward.

Aren’t I considerate enough?

Wei Xuhong, pushed by him, was at a loss, standing still, afraid to move.

Qin Xi glanced at him, frowned, and said, “No need, we can do it ourselves.”

Saying that, he was about to leave.

But Qian Duoduo suddenly kicked Wei Xuhong. Wei Xuhong was thin and small, and he fell to the ground with a groan, unable to get up.

“Useless.” Qian Duoduo looked at Wei Xuhong with disdain. “No one even wants you to pick up the balls. What use are you?”

The people behind him laughed along, clearly not the first time they had seen this scene.

Qin Xi clenched his fists, frowning, “Why are you hitting people?”

Qian Duoduo shrugged, “What’s wrong with hitting him? He’s just a poor guy. If I pay some medical expenses, he’ll beg me to hit him again.”

With that, he directly took out a wad of money from his pocket and threw it at Wei Xuhong. The people around him laughed again.

Qin Xi’s eyes flashed with disgust.

The reason he couldn’t get along with Qian Duoduo was precisely because of this attitude.

Always thinking that having money made him superior, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

He asked directly, “If I give you money, can I beat you up?”

“Of course not,” Qian Duoduo blurted out, then realized what he said and quickly tried to make amends, “Qin Xi, if you want to hit someone, hit Wei Xuhong. He can take a beating.”

Qin Xi sneered, “I want to beat you up.”

With that, he swung his fist and struck directly.

Qian Duoduo cried out in pain, falling to the ground.

“Ah—”

Zhouzhou was also attracted by the commotion, and upon seeing Qin Xi raising his fist, her eyes lit up, and she ran over quickly with her short legs.

“Fourth brother, don’t move, let me do it!”

Finally, she could fight, and she was so frustrated!

“Fourth brother, did he bully you?” Zhouzhou ran over, curious, her eyes still filled with some anticipation.

As long as he nodded, she would throw a punch right away.

That way, she would be settling karma instead of bullying, and she wouldn’t have to suffer repercussions.

However, Qin Xi shook his head, “No.”

“Oh, I see…” Zhouzhou’s eyes dimmed instantly, a hint of disappointment in her tone.

Qin Xi was suddenly puzzled.

What, was she hoping he would get bullied?
