Xiao Chenyu: Call More People—the More, the Better

"Let's go." Xiao Muxue covered her cheek with one hand. She did not have her followers gang up on Li Yue and Xiao Wu to avenge her. Instead, she called her followers and left. She knew that such a method could not win Li Yue over.

Even if she obtained this man's body through such means, she would never obtain his heart.

"Big Sister, are we really just letting them go?"

"Big Sister got slapped twice by Li Yue. Aren't we hitting back?"

"Why are you talking so much? Big Sister is showing mercy to a beauty."

"When Big Sister does something, why would she need to explain herself to you?"

After they had gone some distance, one of the followers asked indignantly, only to be immediately rebuked by the others.

Whatever Big Sister said went. They only needed to be good followers. How could they tell Big Sister what to do? And could they please stop bringing up the fact that she had been slapped twice? If Big Sister got angry, they definitely would not have a good time.

When she heard her follower mention that she had been slapped twice, Xiao Muxue was reminded of it. She, the big sister, had been slapped twice, yet these little sisters of hers had gotten away without anything happening to them.

"We're sisters, right? Sisters who share blessings and shoulder hardships together." When she said "shoulder hardships together," Xiao Muxue put extra emphasis on the words.

Hearing the emphasis in Xiao Muxue's words, her followers immediately understood what Big Sister meant. Sigh, it was all that idiot's fault for bringing up Big Sister being slapped twice. Now they had been dragged into it too.

Slap... Slap... Slap... Slap...

A string of crisp slaps rang out. The followers could not bring themselves to hit themselves hard, so they slapped one another instead. You gave me a hard one, so I gave you a hard one too.

As for lightly slapping each other, they did not dare fake it. Their Big Sister had taken two solid slaps to the face. If they only gave each other two light slaps, they would practically be asking to be slapped to death.

After returning to the classroom, the students all looked at them strangely and even began whispering among themselves.

Everyone knew that Xiao Muxue was the big sister of the academy. Her older brother was Boss Xiao, and her father was the City Lord.

Who had the nerve to provoke her? And they had even slapped her twice—two real, solid slaps at that.

Two red handprints could clearly be seen on Xiao Muxue's pretty face.

Xiao Muxue did not say anything. One of her little followers merely coughed, and those people no longer dared to gossip.

Someone went to secretly report it to Boss Xiao, rushing over to tell him that his little sister had been slapped twice. Every one of her followers had also received two slaps each; not a single one had been spared.

"Little Sister, who hit you? I'll avenge you!" Xiao Chenyu hurried over.

Damn it, who had such nerve that they dared lay a hand on Boss Xiao's little sister? This little sister was the family treasure. Her father, mother, paternal grandparents, and maternal grandparents—who among them did not dote on and love her? Yet she had been beaten today.

"You don't need to worry about it. I'll handle it myself," Xiao Muxue said coldly. She would use her own methods to pry that wild girl's boyfriend away, then return those two slaps to her.

In her view, Li Yue had done nothing wrong. He had slapped her twice to avenge his girlfriend. She deserved those two slaps. If Li Yue had not avenged his girlfriend and had instead begged her for mercy, she would have looked down on him for it.

In her eyes, this useless older brother was merely meddling.

"Little Sister, tell your brother. Did the person who hit you threaten you? Don't be afraid. Tell me, and I'll avenge you. I'll bring people to capture him and drag him in front of you so you can hit him back."

Xiao Chenyu was frantic. Seeing the slap marks on his sister's face, his rage soared to the heavens. Who was it? Which bastard was it? How dare he hit Boss Xiao's little sister? He was tired of living.

Ask around Nuoding Academy—who was protecting this patch of territory? Boss Xiao had never suffered a loss before. Now that his little sister had been beaten, he could not swallow this anger.

"You're so annoying. I already said you don't need to worry about it. Class is about to start, so get out."

Xiao Muxue was annoyed to death by this useless older brother. Seeing the surrounding classmates all looking their way, she became even more impatient. Why did she have to say the same thing twice?

"Alright, alright. Little Sister, don't be angry. Your brother will leave right away." Even after being scolded by his sister, Xiao Chenyu still wore a placating smile. This was the little sister he doted on most. If he did not spoil her, who would? What did a few scoldings matter?

After leaving the classroom, Xiao Chenyu's expression darkened. He said to one of the lackeys beside him, "Go find out who hit my little sister. I want to know before dinner this evening."

Then he said to the lackeys around him, "Brothers, call more people. The more, the better. Tell them I'm treating them. Today, your boss is buying everyone a meal. After we eat, come with me to beat someone up."

"Don't worry, Boss. Leave it to me," said the lackey sent to gather information.

"Don't worry, Boss. I'll call all the boys in our class."

"And ours too. Once they hear Boss is buying dinner, they'll definitely come."

"With those words from you, Boss, I guarantee I'll call every guy over to bolster your presence."

"With so many people, that person who bullied Boss's little sister will probably piss himself just standing in front of us."

Boss Xiao's lackeys were spread across every grade. There was only one class per grade, and every class lived in one large dormitory. Only the work-study students, regardless of grade, were placed in the same dormitory.

"Good. Call as many people as you can. Tonight, I'm reserving the second-floor cafeteria." Xiao Chenyu gritted his teeth. Even if he called every boy in the academy, he could afford to treat them. He wanted to see which bastard dared lay a hand on his little sister.

He would make sure that person paid dearly.

Meanwhile.

After Xiao Muxue left, Xiao Wu threw herself into Li Yue's arms. Her tears soaked his clothes, but Li Yue did not mind. He merely placed a hand on Xiao Wu's head and gently stroked her hair.

"Brother Yue, I missed you so much."

They had only been apart from Li Yue for a day or two, yet Xiao Wu felt as if years had passed. Li Yue had not been at yesterday's entrance ceremony. It should have been such a memorable day, yet she had been completely distracted.

Today, she had been surrounded by those people and slapped, making her depend on Li Yue even more.

Xiao Wu wrapped her arms around Li Yue's waist and rested against his chest, breathing in his pleasant scent and feeling the steady beat of his heart. Her unsettled heart gradually calmed.

It was as though a kite soaring through the sky had found the string tethering it. No matter how high it flew into the heavens, it could still find its way home and still have somewhere to rely on. The feeling of having someone hold onto her and stand up for her was wonderful.

Resting in Li Yue's embrace, Xiao Wu thought silently, I'll never let go of this feeling of peace—not in this life, nor the next, nor the one after that. I've already lost my mother. I don't want to lose my husband too.
