Chapter 386: Helping Him is a Favor, Not Helping is Duty
“I’ve never seen such a disgusting person!” Lin Wan Ning huffed, clearly annoyed.
“Right? To call him a pervert is an insult to perverts!” Li Qing Xue added, frowning in disgust.
In their minds, Dragon Brother was their little treasure, and no one was allowed to mess with it!
So when that guy Xue Shao Hua dared to touch their treasure, how could they not be mad? The key point: he was a man!
“Did he touch you?” Hu Yu Ying asked, her tone as frosty as her expression. She couldn’t even wrap her head around how such a disgusting person existed.
“Nope! I slapped him!”
The moment those words were out, all three girls let out a sigh of relief.
“Isn’t he just the bro mentioned in those naughty videos?” Li Qing Xue bluntly asked.
Dragon Brother instinctively knocked on Li Qing Xue’s head. “Stop watching that junk.”
Then he turned to Lin Wan Ning. “You too, stop dragging Ah Ying and Qing Xue to watch that stuff.”
Ah Ying had already pointed her finger at Lin Wan Ning, claiming she was the one who first introduced them to those videos!
Lin Wan Ning tried to defend herself, although she had indeed taken her sister and little sister to watch those clips first, it was Li Qing Xue who got hooked and ended up watching more than she did!
In fact, she hadn’t watched any for ages since being with her brother, usually jumping straight into the real deal instead…
She thought about it but decided against voicing it. After all, she had been the one to lead them down the slippery slope.
“Alright, don’t just pick on Qing Xue and Wan Ning, what about me? Dragon Brother, you should scold me too!” Hu Yu Ying interjected, stepping in front of Qing Xue and Wan Ning, protecting them like a shield.
Seeing the trio rally together, Dragon Brother’s spirit quickly deflated.
Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning sheltered behind Hu Yu Ying, sticking their tongues out playfully at Dragon Brother.
“Okay, let’s just go.” Hu Yu Ying softly said, needing to keep some dignity for her man outside.
“Big sis, I’ll go with you to change into some outfits. We all need to look fabulous today!” Lin Wan Ning chimed, linking arms with Hu Yu Ying.
Watching as Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning donned pretty clothes and applied makeup, it was clear that every girl has an inner desire to look good, and Hu Yu Ying was no exception, especially in front of Dragon Brother.
So, she didn’t refuse and nodded gently.
Noticing this, Lin Wan Ning pushed Li Qing Xue towards Dragon Brother. “You guys head to the mall first; Qing Xue knows the way.”
With that, she placed a helmet on Ah Ying and hopped on her electric scooter, zooming off.
As Lin Wan Ning and Hu Yu Ying disappeared, Li Qing Xue felt her cheeks flush for no reason and stomped her foot in the direction they left. “No loyalty!” she muttered under her breath.
“So, uh, should we get going?” Dragon Brother asked, glancing at the little Li Qing Xue beside him.
Li Qing Xue lifted her chin, tucking a wind-disheveled strand of hair behind her ear, acting all cool and haughty.
But as soon as Dragon Brother grabbed her hand, her proud little face turned as red as a tomato. “Okay, okay, let’s do it!”
…
“Unbelievable, absolutely outrageous! This is just too much!” Ye Liang Chen’s voice rang through the phone, barely containing his fury. “Sure, it’s his stuff right now, but soon it’ll be ours! You only asked him to keep it clean and hygenic, and he dared to hit you?! Is there any law left in this world?”
“You helping him is a kindness; not helping is expected. You’ve already helped him, and he hits you back? The audacity! I rarely want to resort to violence, but Dragon Brother is making it hard for me to keep my cool!”
Xue Shao Hua, feeling all sorts of wronged, chimed in, “Exactly! Dragon Brother is seriously ungrateful! Like you said, I was just helping him out! And he wants to hit me? My heart is shattered!”
Ye Liang Chen took a deep breath before slowly letting it out, looking up at the sky as if seeking solace. “You’re right; Dragon Brother did cross a line.”
“Where are you right now? I’m coming over to find you! I’m going to demand an explanation from Dragon Brother!”
“Even if you’re at fault, it’s just for wanting to help him. The one who throws the first punch is the one in the wrong!”
“I’m still at A University. Wait, I see Dragon Brother! And Hu Yu Ying, Li Qing Xue, and Lin Wan Ning too!” Xue Shao Hua had initially wanted to vent his sorrows to Ye Liang Chen but just happened to bump into Dragon Brother and the girls at the entrance of A University.
Ye Liang Chen’s grip on the phone tightened, turning his knuckles white. “Got it. I’ll handle this! I’ll get you justice!”
“I can’t believe this! Does he think he can just bully people because he’s tough? Is there no law anymore? They say not to overlook small acts of kindness or small acts of evil. Dragon Brother has truly gone too far this time!”
Xue Shao Hua nodded. “Gotcha! I’m following them right now. I’ll message you when we get there to demand justice!”
“I can bear the grievance, I can face Dragon Brother’s mindless beatdowns, but all I want is an explanation! I demand justice!”
As soon as he hung up, he spotted Lin Wan Ning riding off with Hu Yu Ying.
Meanwhile, Dragon Brother was holding Li Qing Xue’s hand, getting ready to hop into a taxi.
Xue Shao Hua hesitated for a moment but chose to keep following Dragon Brother.
After all, he was determined to get some answers.
So, he hailed a taxi and instructed the driver to closely follow Dragon Brother’s cab.
…
At the traffic light.
Lin Wan Ning gently tugged on Hu Yu Ying’s hand. “We’ll be home soon, big sis; you can put your hand in my pocket!”
Hu Yu Ying wrapped her arms around Lin Wan Ning from behind, “You’re not the cold and aloof Wan Ning anymore; I like this side of you.”
The old Wan Ning was super aloof, always radiating an air of distasteful distance.
But the new Lin Wan Ning was different—smiles graced her face, and her personality had perked up. With Hu Yu Ying around, you wouldn’t even recognize the former icy version!
“That’s because I have you guys!” Lin Wan Ning grinned.
Before long, they arrived at the courtyard.
Hu Yu Ying changed out of her clothes, and her soft, elegant aura suited white perfectly. At least Lin Wan Ning couldn’t pull off that vibe like Hu Yu Ying did.
“Need any makeup? I can help!” Lin Wan Ning cheerfully asked, ready to sprinkle a little glam on her friend.
Hu Yu Ying shook her head. “I can’t do it.”
“I can! I’ll teach you.” Only then did Lin Wan Ning realize that Hu Yu Ying had no makeup kit with her.
“Alright, how about just some lipstick?”
“I don’t have any.”
“I do!” Lin Wan Ning exclaimed, cupping Hu Yu Ying’s small face and planting a kiss on her lips.
Hu Yu Ying froze, her wide, glistening eyes staring in disbelief.
“What, what are you doing?!”
“This part needs a bit more,” Lin Wan Ning said, leaning in for another kiss.
Hu Yu Ying instinctively shrank her neck back but found herself kissed yet again…
