Chapter 399: Chapter 279: Reunion, Losing Control

Liang Zheng, "Xixi sister, don’t go."

Still fuming, Tang Xi looked at Liang Zheng whose hair was covered in fine sand, his white short sleeve shirt stained with dirt, "You always get hit because you never dodge. How come you don’t protect yourself? You’re grown up now, aren’t you?"

"I... they’re all my friends," Liang Zheng scratched his head, following Tang Xi back, and while walking, he kept looking at her, "Xixi sister, are you upset... But they are all my friends. And Grandma said, I am older than them, what if I hurt them when I hit back? If they get injured, they won’t be able to go to school, then their parents will come to Grandma, and she will have to apologize..."

Tang Xi’s brows furrowed.

She didn’t expect this idiot to think so much.

He’s right, if someone got injured, their parents would come to Feng Jiamei again.

She looked at Liang Zheng, "Then from now on, you need to hide far away."

Liang Zheng nodded, seeing that Tang Xi wasn’t angry anymore, then smiled, "Actually, they only throw sand, they can’t really hurt me. They’re my friends. They’re willing to play with me. Xiaosong even... he even taught me ancient poems."

"Xiaosong, the one who threw sand at you, is Xiaosong?"

Tang Xi had thought that Xiaosong, mentioned by Liang Zheng, would be his peer.

Turns out he’s a child, too.

But on second thought, it makes sense. With the mind of Liang Zheng, adults wouldn’t join his games, and Feng Jiamei is too old for that.

"Xiaosong also gave me candy. We throw sand at each other because we are friends, he said he treats me as a friend," Liang Zheng seemed not angry at all, but rather found it amusing.

Tang Xi sighed.

She gave a faint smile, "Alright, if they don’t hurt you, you can avoid them, but if they do hurt you, then don’t be friends with them anymore."

"Now I have Xixi sister," Liang Zheng said as he grabbed Tang Xi’s wrist and shook it, "We are good friends."

He said this as he pulled Tang Xi along to run.

Tang Xi felt an aching sorrow in her heart.

"Liang Zheng..."

She was sorry, maybe, just maybe, she couldn’t continue being friends with him.

She couldn’t deceive this simple-minded young man, nor could she make any promises.

Her own life was also in disarray.

"Liang Zheng, if there’s a chance in the future, I’ll definitely take you to the movies, treat you to lots of delicious food."

-

Shen Duan glanced at the time, ready to leave. These past few days, he had helped Liang Qing fix the leaking roof and tidy up the yard.

Liang Qing knew he was leaving, and walked over to him.

She simply said in a soft voice, "May I touch your face?"

She wanted to remember this man’s face.

This man, who suddenly appeared by her side and kept her company for a short time, his name was a fake, but oh, how she wished he could stay forever.

But Liang Qing knew, this man didn’t belong here.

Shen Duan slowly lowered his head, Liang Qing’s cool fingertips, rough with calluses, brushed his cheek.

She touched gently, her eyes shimmering like faint stars.

She smiled, "Alright, it’s getting late, you should go now."

"Liang Qing, I will take you to get your eyes treated," Shen Duan promised her.

Liang Qing smiled, "Alright."

-

At seven o’clock in the evening, Tang Xi left Feng Jiamei’s house.

Closing the door, she could still see the light shining from the TV drama inside the main room.

Feng Jiamei was watching cartoons with Liang Zheng.

Tang Xi had claimed she wanted to take a walk to slip out.

At first, Liang Zheng had wanted to join her, but since his favorite episode of the cartoon was on, Tang Xi seized the opportunity to go out alone.

She arrived at the entrance of the village.

There were people guarding the entrance, who said to Tang Xi, "Liang Zheng’s wife, why are you out so late? We can’t let you out."

Tang Xi nodded, "I’m just out for a walk, I’ve come just to here."

There was a rustling sound from behind. Shen Duan walked over.

The two men at the village entrance glanced at Shen Duan, "Today is not a day to go out. Wait for the fishing boat to return. We delivered the goods for Liang Qing last week, there’s none for her this week, you come again next week."

Shen Duan took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to the two men.

They chatted briefly with Shen Duan.

In the distance, the fishing boat sounded its horn, its lights bright.

One of the men said, "The boat from Xia’an Village next door has arrived."

Then, darkness swooped in, and he passed out.

The other man widened his eyes, pointing at Shen Duan, "What are you doing?" He reached for his cellphone, wanting to alert the villagers.

But Shen Duan knocked him out with ease.
