Fan Yue glanced at his wrist; the watch strap flashed with a golden light. It was seven o’clock in the evening.
“Where do you live?” He asked, looking at Shutong.
Shutong glanced at the dark sky and finally gave directions to a bus stop near the Wang family’s house.
Fan Yue and his group, for some reason, actually saw her onto the bus and got on as well.
The boys with the skateboard and the seemingly dull-looking snow doll were the focus of attention along the way.
Shutong, feeling utterly hopeless, pulled her hat down and her scarf up, revealing only her dark, grape-like eyes. She really didn’t want to be so famous.
“Yueyue, do you think Wang Bu and her brother did something?” Pang Datou whispered to Fan Yue.
“Who knows?” Fan Yue replied casually, seemingly unconcerned.
He had also suspected it.
What other options did a beggar have? Either being taken in or stealing and swindling money.
Lin Qi chimed in, “She seems very likable, maybe she’s the former.”
Hearing this, Pang Datou looked at the adorable snow doll sitting in her seat and nodded in agreement.
Thinking of his younger sister, who only knew how to cry and complain and wipe her snot all over him, he suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was a little angel.
She sat upright, her feet not even touching the bus floor, only swaying with the ride. She was both cute and a little elegant. Who would believe that just over two months ago, she was a thin and pale little beggar!
Uh~
Pang Datou even immediately touched his backpack, only to find a few packets of spicy snacks, which he silently stuffed back in.
The little angel didn’t eat spicy snacks, right?
Next time, he’ll steal all of his sister’s candy!
When the bus arrived at the station, the seven boys got off with Shutong.
“Tongtong!!” Wang Ling’er’s voice rang out, and she ran over in no time.
Suddenly noticing the group of boys following behind Shutong, she paused and then subconsciously swallowed.
Good heavens…
These junior students were all prominent figures in the first and second years of high school. Wang Ling’er had heard many stories about them and had also seen them a few times at school events.
Good grades, good looks, good family backgrounds—countless girls secretly admired them!
Even Wang Ling’er felt somewhat overwhelmed when she saw Fan Yue’s face.
“Senior.”
After recognizing Wang Ling’er, the teenagers greeted her.
Wang Ling’er was completely confused, but she didn’t want to explain further, so she simply said, “Tongtong is staying at my house.”
After saying that, she took Shutong’s hand, waved to them, and headed home.
After walking for a while, feeling no longer watched by the boys, Wang Ling’er breathed a sigh of relief and bent down in front of Shutong, asking, “Tongtong, why did you run out alone? What’s going on with Fan Yue and the others?”
Shutong succinctly summarized, “Brother Wang Bu’s mortal enemy.”
“Ah…”
Wang Ling’er asked worriedly, “Did they make things difficult for you?”
Shutong shook her head.
Seeing that she kept rummaging through her snack bag, Wang Ling’er knew that she was hungry and didn’t ask any more questions.
However, she roughly guessed that it might be due to a previous grudge.
Instead of going directly to the courtyard, Fan Yue went to a dance hall, where he found two men who were completely drunk.
One had a full beard, and the other had curly hair.
“Fan Yue, what do you want me to do by keeping an eye on these two thugs?” The young man next to him asked.
“Did you get any information out of him?” Fan Yue asked directly.
“Nothing much to get out of them, but they recently got a good job, watching a certain place, looking for two kids.”
“What kids?” Fan Yue frowned.
“I don’t know. But why are you so concerned? Is it related to you?”
“No.” Fan Yue shook his head, somewhat uncomfortable with the noise.
“I’m leaving now.”
He himself didn’t know why he was so concerned about the affairs of these beggars, whom he despised the most.
***
Shutong didn’t tell her brothers what happened today. They came back late and didn’t even know that she had gone out.
Uncle Wang didn’t want the two boys to suffer on the construction site, so he suggested that they become apprentices at a car repair shop.
Apprentices don’t receive a salary, and in some places, they even have to pay a fee. Uncle Wang didn’t charge them and gave them more free time.
Wen Shuying and Wang Bu thought about it all night and decided to give it a try.
They desperately needed a skill.
So the two of them went to the car repair shop during the day and studied the textbooks that Wang Ling’er used before at night, living a busy and fulfilling life.
