After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 693

Chapter 693: Disheartened Feast, Unhappiness
Upon seeing her refusal to eat, Li Yu’an became anxious. “Why aren’t you eating?” His tone was urgent, bordering on harsh.

Zhouzhou lightly tapped his head, “Why so harsh? Are you trying to force Xinxin to eat?”

At this, Li Yu’an looked at her with a touch of grievance, “Didn’t you say to be nicer to her?” He thought being nice meant getting her to eat. After all, what child doesn’t like eating?

Zhouzhou tilted her head, pondering for a moment. She did like eating, so she reluctantly accepted his reasoning. However, she added, “But you should also ask Xinxin if she wants to eat.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yu’an looked expectantly at Li Yuxin. It was strange what had gotten into him, but with Zhouzhou nearby, Li Yuxin had nothing to fear.

She shook her head and said, “I don’t want apples, I want strawberries.” She then stared at him intently.

She had noticed him sneakily putting a pack of strawberries into his bag when he arrived today.

Li Yu’an: “…”

How sharp are her eyes! But there was no way he would give her the strawberries.

Just as he finished thinking, another slap landed on his buttocks. He instantly jumped up, nodding vigorously, and rushed to the classroom, “I’ll get them for you right away!”

Seeing him like this, Li Yuxin felt even more puzzled. “What’s gotten into him? This isn’t like him.”

Zhouzhou chuckled and whispered something into Li Yuxin’s ear. After hearing it, Li Yuxin looked at Zhouzhou in astonishment. Could there really be something so magical? Zhouzhou was truly remarkable!

Zhouzhou proudly shook her head and said, “You can rest assured now, he won’t dare to bully you again. If he dares to bully you, he’ll get a taste of his own medicine. Sometimes, a naughty child only learns when they experience the consequences themselves.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yuxin gratefully looked at Zhouzhou and held her hand, saying, “Zhouzhou, thank you. Meeting you is the greatest blessing of my life.”

Zhouzhou waved her hand confidently, “No need to thank me. You’re my friend.” She then touched the green light on her head, feeling a refreshing aura envelop her hand, and couldn’t help but grin.

So adorable. Just like Xinxin. The two good friends were so affectionate towards each other, leaving Li Yu’an feeling left out.

He approached with a sad face, no longer daring to play any tricks, and handed the strawberries to Li Yuxin, his eyes reddened. “Here.”

“Who is she?” Zhouzhou raised her small fist, threateningly.

Li Yu’an, afraid, stepped back and looked at Li Yuxin with teary eyes. “Sister, have some strawberries.”

Li Yuxin glanced at Zhouzhou but didn’t refuse. She accepted the strawberries.

For some reason, at the moment she took them, Li Yu’an didn’t feel the pain in his buttocks anymore.

He was surprised to realize that the little chubby girl wasn’t lying to him. As long as he treated his sister well, he wouldn’t get punished.

With that in mind, the once despondent Li Yu’an, who had been beaten three times a day and doubted his existence, suddenly regained a sense of purpose.

He looked at Li Yuxin with shining eyes, filled with intense warmth.

Li Yuxin glanced at him, unaware of his thoughts, but she wasn’t afraid of any mischief from him now. After all, Zhouzhou was there to protect her.

She happily sat with Zhouzhou in a shady spot, sharing the strawberries. Li Yu’an watched, feeling envious but also relieved.

Ah, tomorrow he would bring two more boxes of strawberries, hoping to earn a seat at the table sooner.

Hmm!

Zhouzhou seemed to sense something and suddenly looked at Li Yuxin. Upon seeing the last trace of hostility disappear from her brow, leaving only the fresh scent of tea in the air, Zhouzhou felt a heavy burden lifted from her heart.

Finally, they had overcome the crisis.

As the bell rang for class, Zhouzhou cheerfully led Li Yuxin inside.

“Chubby Girl, you seem to be in a good mood,” Huo Ji’an observed curiously.

Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, “Yes, something good happened.”

Without mentioning Li Yuxin’s recent ordeal, Zhouzhou changed the subject, “Little Skinny Pole, how’s everything at home?”

“Ah!” Huo Ji’an sighed heavily, then replied, “Don’t mention it, it’s been so annoying.”

He was about to say more when the teacher entered, so he swallowed his words.

After school, unable to hold back, Huo Ji’an finally complained to Zhouzhou, “My former dad keeps saying he’s in pain every day and wants me to pamper him. He’s such a crybaby.”

As he spoke, Huo Ji’an rolled his eyes in frustration.

Listening to him, Zhouzhou tilted her head and asked, “So can we still have a feast?”

Huo Ji’an thought for a moment, then shook his head, “I highly doubt it.”

“I feel like we could have a feast every day, but every time I think that, I secretly put my finger under his nose while he’s sleeping, yet he always wakes up fine the next day.”

With a deep sigh, he expressed his regret.

Zhouzhou also sighed. It had been so long since they had a feast.

The two little troublemakers walked out with heavy hearts.

As soon as they stepped outside, Zhouzhou spotted Huo Mingxuan sitting in a wheelchair, his face flushed. He looked like he would need to wait until he was eighty or ninety to have a feast.

Zhouzhou ran over, her face full of confusion. “Uncle Huo, is your leg also broken? Why do you always have to use a wheelchair when you go out?”

Seeing her, Huo Mingxuan’s heart rang alarm bells, and he was on high alert. After thinking for a moment, he said, “I’m afraid of aggravating the wound.”

But Zhouzhou didn’t believe him. It had been so many days, and her medicine was so effective. How could he still not be healed?

Her eyes rolled, and while he wasn’t paying attention, Zhouzhou suddenly lifted his clothes, revealing the scabbing wounds on his body. Her eyes widened in shock.

“Uncle Huo, you’re lying!”

Clearly, he was already healed!

Seeing Huo Ji’an looking their way, Huo Mingxuan panicked and suddenly stumbled, falling to the ground. His back wound split open, blood oozing out.

Zhouzhou was startled and quickly backed away, clutching her bag tightly. “I didn’t hit him.”

She had been promoting Sanqing Temple so diligently, how could she still suffer a financial loss?

Qin Lie glanced over, his eyelids lowering as he looked at Huo Mingxuan with displeasure.

Children might not understand, but they could see through his little schemes. He warned him with a look, indicating that he shouldn’t try to take advantage of his daughter.

Yu Ze quickly helped him up and made excuses, “Mr. Huo must have been too excited to see Ji’an, so he stumbled.”

However, Huo Ji’an wasn’t buying it. He asked puzzledly, “But there’s nothing wrong with his legs, so why did he fall? Does that mean I might get a chance to have a feast?”

Yu Ze: “…” He tried his best.

Huo Mingxuan: “…” Feasts, feasts. How come you didn’t love feasts so much before!
