Chapter 222: Did I Let You Go?
Xue Shao Hua was momentarily stunned, then immediately felt a blazing pain spreading across his face.
“Whoa, what the hell, why’d you hit me?”
“You’re the one who should be ashamed! Don’t you remember what we’re here for?” Ye Liang Chen growled, stomach twisting with anger. A whole night, and they did… how many times? Impossible to think about, really impossible. If you put yourself in his shoes and face someone like Hu Yu Ying, it definitely wasn’t just once.
So Ye Liang Chen was mad, and his words carried a hint of fury. Dragon Brother was basically treating him like he didn’t exist!
But the guy who suddenly got slapped twice—Xue Shao Hua—was even angrier. Come on, who wouldn’t be a bit pissed getting woken up in the middle of sleep by two slaps? Who wouldn’t?
Ye Liang Chen also caught the look Xue Shao Hua shot him, and suddenly awkwardly said, “Alright, alright. We’ve got a common enemy here. Get up already—they’ve gone.”
Upon hearing this, Xue Shao Hua took a deep breath, suppressing the bubbling irritation in his chest. At least Ye Liang Chen was right; he waited all night in this alley just to beat Dragon Brother, to make him see the reality and leave Hu Yu Ying. That’s what mattered most.
As long as Dragon Brother could leave Hu Yu Ying, what did two slaps matter?
To avoid missing Dragon Brother and Hu Yu Ying again like yesterday, they hurriedly chased out.
Fortunately, this time they were pretty lucky.
Dragon Brother and Hu Yu Ying were just inside a nearby breakfast shop.
Seeing them talk and laugh, Ye Liang Chen and Xue Shao Hua’s eyes nearly popped with fire.
They camped all night in that alley to beat Dragon Brother, and now he was not only happily smiling but also enjoying himself? No way!
The more Dragon Brother looked happy, the more furious Ye Liang Chen and Xue Shao Hua got.
It felt like a slap in the face, a total humiliation.
“I really can’t stand it anymore. Today, I have to do him in. I want him to understand what happens when you snatch a girl from me. No—what happens when you mess with Hu Yu Ying!” Xue Shao Hua gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with determination.
In his eyes, Dragon Brother’s existence was undeniably ruining Hu Yu Ying’s future.
At this age, when you’re full of hot bl**d, if you can use that passion to save a girl who’s gone astray and bring her back to the right path—that’s something to be proud of for a lifetime.
Maybe Hu Yu Ying will be moved seeing herself stand up for her.
He already imagined that, when he pulls Hu Yu Ying’s hand and flees from Dragon Brother, his grand, heroic figure would be engraved in her heart forever—unforgettable!
When they’re old, this would be a story they’d brag about.
The more he thought about it, the more impulsive Xue Shao Hua became.
Rescuing Hu Yu Ying now seemed urgent—urgent to the point where he almost couldn’t wait.
Ye Liang Chen watched Xue Shao Hua’s impatience and secretly thought, honestly, he just wanted to slap him right there.
He was so impatient—how can they keep going like this?
Hu Yu Ying was clearly the type to stick to someone for life. Even if her current life was crappy and Dragon Brother was a b*stard, as long as she hadn’t given up, she wouldn’t switch her affection.
He tried this before back in Haiwan City.
If not for that, with his elegance, style, and the advantage of being the first to act, he would have already put a hat on that b*stard Dragon Brother!
He would have already called him out and made him pay.
And now? Camping all night in some alley?
He should have called her while she followed Dragon Brother back, having her come out with an excuse to meet him.
Thinking about that night in the alley—how weak that was.
Suddenly, Ye Liang Chen’s eyes lit up: “Good opportunity!”
Hearing this, Xue Shao Hua looked in the direction Ye Liang Chen was gazing and saw Dragon Brother stand up and walk out of the breakfast shop.
They exchanged glances, simultaneously shook their heads, and a confident smile crept on their faces.
Hustling to follow.
Until they saw Dragon Brother go into the public bathroom: “Heaven has a road, you refuse to walk it; hell has no door, you come knocking. Now don’t blame us for knocking you out!”
Ye Liang Chen and Xue Shao Hua smiled—this time, truly smiled.
They had camped in the corner all night, filled with anger. Now, finally, they had a chance to vent.
Talking, they entered the bathroom.
They exchanged a look, then moved to stand on either side of Dragon Brother.
Ye Liang Chen sneered when he saw Dragon Brother still unaware of him. He was debating whether to sneak attack while Dragon Brother was peeing. But then, he accidentally glanced downward.
“Uh…” he gasped, clutching his chest and staggering back two steps.
That gasp not only startled Dragon Brother but also made Xue Shao Hua jump.
Dragon Brother frowned, looking at Ye Liang Chen, whose brow furrowed even deeper.
He didn’t understand why Ye Liang Chen was crying.
Neither did Xue Shao Hua.
Nobody got it.
Only Ye Liang Chen understood how he truly felt inside.
He had prayed more than once—for Dragon Brother to go easy on his treasure girl, just a little, don’t make her lose her innocence.
But this thing before him—completely shattered all his hopes.
Dragon Brother looked at his second brother staring at him and finally shook his head dismissively: “What’s wrong with you? Is there something wrong with yourself?”
And then he was about to walk away.
That comment… somehow, it hit Ye Liang Chen’s raw nerves.
He suddenly lifted his head, glaring fiercely: “Are you humiliating me?”
Because he had just cried, his eyes were bloodshot and fierce, quite intimidating. “And! Did I let you go?”
In a hoarse voice, Ye Liang Chen said as Dragon Brother passed by him.
Seeing his expression, Xue Shao Hua smiled confidently, pocketed his hands, flicked his hair, and approached Dragon Brother: “Dragon Brother, right?”
“What do you mean?” Dragon Brother said, smiling at Ye Liang Chen and Xue Shao Hua.
Honestly, this looked like a middle schooler trying to mug a high schooler—at least, that was how Dragon Brother saw it.
“What do you mean? You’re really brazen! Don’t you even know what you’re doing?” Xue Shao Hua scoffed, glaring at the two of them, basically ignoring Dragon Brother.
He flicked his hair and stepped in front of him: “Do you even realize you’re messing up Hu Yu Ying’s future?”
“Hu Yu Ying is excellent. I want you to leave her alone. She deserves a better future. Your existence is just a stumbling block. If you truly care for her, you should understand that she needs someone just as outstanding as herself.”
“And you—your presence not only does nothing to help her but actually hinders her. So, I think you get what I mean. If you truly want what’s best for Hu Yu Ying, you should leave her now.”
Dragon Brother understood. He nodded at Xue Shao Hua: “Do you know who’s the most terrifying person?”
“Haha, no need to say. It’s obviously the bad guy like you—the one messing up everyone’s lives,” Xue Shao Hua mocked.
Dragon Brother shook his head: “Real villains aren’t the scariest. It’s you guys pretending to be all good and righteous.”
“Hu Yu Ying has her life and her choices. Don’t use the guise of caring for her to morally blackmail others.”
“And one more thing—I’m not exactly in a good mood right now.”
Dragon Brother shot a cold glare at Xue Shao Hua, his tone calm but carrying an undeniable pressure.
Especially that final look—like a beast hidden in silence, ready to tear apart everything in its way, clearing all obstacles…
Unconsciously, Xue Shao Hua took a few steps back, sweat beginning to form coldly on his palms.
