“Got it.” Wang Bu walked back to the two siblings, his voice low.
“Wouldn’t it have been better to leave it in the bank?”
Wen Shuying’s expression was somewhat complicated. He shook his head and only said, “I’m afraid the account will be blocked.”
Actually, he was afraid. His mother had died at home, and then a group of strange people came to capture him and his sister.
He ran away with his sister, and when he went back, the house had already been burned down.
He sensed danger and had been wandering around with his sister ever since.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll take the money and run away?” Wang Bu finally asked, voicing his doubts.
As soon as he finished speaking, the brother and sister suddenly stopped and looked at him in unison, clearly having just realized this possibility.
The next second, Shutong silently grasped Wang Bu’s hand.
Wen Shuying also grabbed his other wrist.
Wang Bu: “…What do you mean?”
Wen Shuying: “I’m afraid you’ll run away.”
Wang Bu: “…” Damn it, isn’t it too late to realize this now?
If he wanted to run, he would have run already!
“Tch.”
He glanced at his hands, dragged the two of them forward, and said fiercely, “I’m going to eat meat tonight.”
Shutong couldn’t stay calm when she heard the word ‘meat’ and quickly asked, “What kind of meat?”
Wang Bu glanced down at her and said, “All you ever think about is eating.”
Shutong: “It’s the money I earned…”
Wang Bu: “…” I’m fucking speechless.
Wen Shuying suppressed a laugh and said, “Let’s go to a restaurant for braised pork.”
Shutong swallowed hard: “Yay!”
In her memory, she had never eaten at a restaurant with her brother before, but today, they could indulge themselves!
The three of them walked to the intersection and, to save time, boarded a bus.
Several students from Zhengjiang Middle School were standing at the back. When they saw Wang Bu, they whispered among themselves.
Then, one of the boys pointed at Wang Bu and shouted, “That’s a pickpocket! And the two next to him are beggars! Everyone, be careful!”
The boy’s words caused a stir among everyone in the bus. Their gazes toward Wang Bu and his two companions turned contemptuous and disgusted.
“Driver, let them get off!”
Wang Bu kept his head down, his fists clenched.
Shutong tugged at his wrist, grabbed her brother with her other hand, and looked around at the passengers who were all moving away from them.
The driver also turned around and had no choice but to shoo them away: “Hey, you three, get off.”
Wen Shuying, fearing trouble, was about to get off the bus when his little sister tugged at his arm.
Shutong looked at him in confusion and asked, “Brother, can’t beggars take the bus even if you give them money? Can I not be a beggar then?”
At her age, her voice was still childish and sweet, and coupled with her deceptively doll-like face, it was hard not to like her.
After hearing her words, everyone fell silent for a moment. The three children were dressed in tattered clothes, clearly scavenged, but they were very clean and did not smell bad, which distinguished them from the beggars on the street.
Most importantly, they were all very adorable, especially the little baby. Her little tuft of hair on her head bobbed back and forth, and her fluffy, frizzy hair added to her cuteness and charm.
If it weren’t for family problems, who would willingly become a beggar?
And these are just underage children… Who knows what they’ve been through?
So pitiful…
Because of Shutong’s words, the passengers present imagined many things, but eventually waved their hands, no longer caring.
“But they stole things in the mall! I saw it with my own eyes!” A student still wouldn’t give up, pointing at them and shouting.
A fierce glint appeared in Wang Bu’s eyes: “I haven’t stolen anything from the mall, and neither have they.”
He had stolen things, but it depended on the person; he couldn’t even get into a mall.
The student in front of him simply knew that he was a pickpocket and wanted to kick him off the bus, so he made up some nonsense.
“There are security guards watching over the mall, so beggars can’t get in.” Someone said.
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that the student was talking nonsense.
“Forget it, they’ve already given money; why make things difficult for them?”
“That’s right, they are just little kids; they can’t be that bad.”
Some passengers even paid special attention to Shutong’s situation and inquired about her parents.
Shutong shook her head, pretending not to know anything.
Wen Shuying didn’t reveal anything, and there was a hint of sadness in his expression.
“Oh, poor child…”
The passengers sighed.
When Shutong was carried out of the bus by Wen Shuying, she was holding a few White Rabbit milk candies and a few one-yuan bills in her hand. She didn’t know which kind aunt had given them to her.
Wang Bu walked silently ahead, his figure slightly hunched.
Shutong and Wen Shuying exhaled white breath as they slowly followed behind him, not wanting to disturb him.
Passing by a steamed bun shop, Wang Bu stopped, reached into his pocket, and pulled out five yuan with his red, rough hand.
The owner of the steamed bun shop was a burly man with a stubble beard and tanned skin, who looked quite intimidating.
