Why are you looking at me like that?

After finishing her water, Li Qian noticed Chen Xun staring at her in disbelief and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just think it's kind of cute when you drink water."

Chen Xun made up a random excuse to brush it off.

"cute?"

Li Qian was taken aback, a slight blush crossing her cool and beautiful face. She hadn't expected anyone to say she was cute.

Lin Xinyue and the others always say that they are taciturn.

"Alright, let's go up. Xinyue and the others have been waiting for a long time."

Chen Xun smiled and changed the subject.

"Um."

Li Qian nodded gently.

When the two returned to the hotel, Lin Xinyue and Yang Xiaotao quickly surrounded them.

Especially Yang Xiaotao, who jogged over, her big white rabbit hopping around. Chen Xun was worried that the vest wouldn't be able to hold her in place and she would jump out.

They came over and hugged Li Qian, pushing Chen Xun far away.

"..."

Chen Xun was helpless.

"Li Qian! Where did you run off to? Do you know how worried I was about you? Waaaaah!"

Lin Xinyue hugged Li Qian and started wailing and howling like a banshee.

Even Yang Xiaotao, who was standing next to her, adorably clung to Li Qian's arm and wouldn't let go, as if she would disappear if she let go of her.

Li Qian was filled with guilt, but didn't know what to do, so she could only turn to look at Chen Xun beside her.

Chen Xun shrugged and spread his hands, as if to say: I wasn't lying to you, you caused this mess, so you have to deal with it yourself.

"Xinyue, Xiaotao, I'm sorry."

Li Qian quietly apologized to her two best friends.

"Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I'll settle the score with them."

Lin Xinyue said solemnly, while looking at Chen Xun.

"Frog Fun, you're so suspicious of your big brother? Hasn't he treated you guys well?"

Seeing Lin Xinyue's suspicious gaze, Chen Xun got angry and immediately rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to fight.

"Hehe...How could that be, brother!"

Lin Xinyue chuckled and waved her hand, signaling Chen Xun to stay calm...

"Qianqian, do you know how scared I was?"

Yang Xiaotao, standing to the side, patted her ample chest, took a deep breath, and spoke in a soft, sweet voice, shaking Li Qian's arm as she spoke.

"Alright, let Li Qian rest for a bit."

"By the way, Xinyue and Xiaotao, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Come on, it's my treat."

Seeing Li Qian's bewildered expression, Chen Xun immediately stepped in to smooth things over.

He grabbed Lin Xinyi and Yang Xiaotao, one in each hand, and led them outside.

Watching the three leave, Li Qian's beautiful eyes flickered, she let out a soft breath, her mind filled with the scene of Chen Xun holding her.

The more she thought about it, the more unsettled she became. Li Qian shook her head, forcing herself to stop thinking about it.

Chen Xun led Lin Xinyi and Yang Xiaotao to the hotel downstairs.

"Tell me, is something on Li Qian's mind?"

Chen Xun looked at Lin Xinyue and Yang Xiaotao.

Lin Xinyue and Yang Xiaotao exchanged glances, as if hesitating whether or not to tell Chen Xun.

"What? Even my eldest brother can't tell? Didn't you say I was one of you?"

Chen Xun said seriously.

"Sigh... Big brother, do you know how Li Qian met us?"

Lin Xinyue sighed, a rare occurrence, and after a series of internal struggles, finally decided to speak out.

"Um?"

Chen Xun didn't understand what Lin Xinyue meant.

"Back in high school, about two years ago, Li Qian was the top student in our class. She was lively, cheerful, and beautiful, and many people were pursuing her."

Lin Xinyue said slowly.

"What does this have to do with tonight?"

After listening, Chen Xun asked a question in return.

"Let me finish, you stinky big brother."

Lin Xinyue raised her fist and said fiercely.

Then she began to recount, "Back then, Xiaotao and I were known as the worst students in the class, so I didn't have much interaction with her."

At this point, Lin Xinyue paused, her beautiful eyes flashing with nameless anger.

Her voice turned icy cold.

"Until one day, a boy at school started pursuing her. The boy already had a girlfriend. Although Li Qian rejected him, the boy still wouldn't give up."

"It turns out that the guy's girlfriend was also from the school. That scumbag girlfriend cornered Li Qian in the restroom, and if I hadn't happened to be passing by, they would have even stripped Li Qian naked and taken pictures!"

Lin Xinyue stopped there, and her expression and the way her body heaved showed that she was very angry.

"Bullished at school? Li Qian has this past?"

Chen Xun didn't know what to say, and felt a pang of heartache.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao tugged at the furious Lin Xinyue, and then she took over the conversation.

"Later, Xinyue and I stayed by Li Qian's side to protect her. But after that incident, Li Qian became taciturn, her grades plummeted, and she eventually stopped coming to school altogether."

"Later, Xinyue and I decided to go out to work, and Qianqian decided to come with us. In the end, the three of us worked outside for more than a year, then quit our jobs and went home, and that's when we met you, big brother."

Tears welled up in Yang Xiaotao's eyes.

Chen Xun clenched his fist. School bullying had almost ruined a girl.

No, it's already ruined! Li Qian, who had excellent grades and was lively and cheerful, was ruined by the people who bullied her.

He had a bright future ahead of him and could have gone to university, but he ended up skipping school and working in a noodle factory instead.

"This is hardly the kind of 'energetic young lady' you'd expect..."

Chen Xun felt heavy-hearted; this was clearly just an ordinary girl who had been hurt.

"Could this be related to the people who bullied her?"

Chen Xun guessed something, or perhaps returning to this painful place reopened her wounds.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy at that moment.

"Okay, stop crying, look at you."

Chen Xun looked at Yang Xiaotao, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and found it incredibly amusing.

He then gently patted Yang Xiaotao's head.

"Oh dear, big brother, you're touching my head again. I'll stunt my growth if you do that."

Yang Xiaotao protested, her pouting lips and her eyes, still wet with tears, making her incredibly cute.

"If I don't touch your head, where else would I touch you...?"

As soon as Chen Xun finished speaking, his gaze swept over the pair of large white breasts at just the right moment, and he felt a surge of heat throughout his body. He immediately began to chant Buddhist scriptures in his heart.

"You scoundrel! Brother, you're a complete scoundrel!"

Yang Xiaotao, who naturally felt Chen Xun's gaze, immediately covered her chest with her hand and muttered a curse.

"Hey, I'm still angry here, and you two are flirting!"

Lin Xinyue was still angry when she turned around and saw this scene, and immediately stomped her foot.

Damn it, I'm still angry, and you two aren't even looking after me!!!

"Alright, aren't you two hungry? Come on, I'll take you to get some dinner!"

When Chen Xun checked his phone, he found that it was already past nine o'clock at night.

"Great, it's on you, bro!"

Lin Xinyue and Yang Xiaotao said happily.

"By the way, big brother, I'm telling you, don't tell Li Qian about this! Otherwise, she'll blame us!"

Lin Xinyue suddenly stopped and looked at Chen Xun's back, saying,

"Do you know, do you know, is your older brother such a stupid person? Are you coming or not? If you're not coming, I won't invite you anymore. I'll just take Xiao Tao to eat."

Chen Xun didn't stop or turn around; he simply waved his hand behind him.

"Holy crap... wait for me, you stinky bro."

Lin Xinyue noticed that Chen Xun was walking further and further away, so she immediately chased after him.
