Chapter 64: A Fight Broke Out
Reading Settings
Qiao Qiao tilted her head curiously to look over.
Then I saw the boy standing against the wall by the corridor.
The boy was about thirteen years old. His face was covered in bruises and his lips were swollen, making it almost impossible to see his original features.
He came out with Xiang Dongyan, and perhaps feeling ashamed, he kept his head down the whole time.
It wasn't until this moment, when he heard his mother forget the important matter of taking him to find a place to settle scores, that he had to speak up to remind her. Even so, he didn't look up at the crowd.
"Ah...you're still here? I almost forgot. Right, right, we're going to look for someone."
"By the way, what was that kid's name again?"
When Xiang Dongyan asked this question, her eyes were still fixed on Qiao Qiao in Qiao Changdong's arms, and she couldn't bear to look away.
It was as if she would fly away if I looked away.
"Qiao Kun! Qiao Kun! Call him Qiao Kun!" Pei Yuanfan shouted in a low voice, somewhat irritably.
"Qiao Kun... um, Qiao Kun, what's your name, little one?"
The name "Qiao Kun" circled twice in Xiang Dongyan's mouth, but finally her attention flew back to Qiao Qiao in front of her, and she asked with a smile.
Qiao Qiao glanced at the boy over there, whose face was bruised and swollen, yet still clearly dark, then looked at the smiling woman in front of her, pursed her lips, and said, "My name is Qiao Qiao."
"Oh!" Xiang Dongyan exclaimed with delight, her eyes sparkling. "You're also surnamed Qiao! What a coincidence! We've met so many people with the surname Qiao today."
you do not say.
Qiao Qiao couldn't help but laugh.
I don't know why, but I have a strange fondness for the woman in front of me.
She said with a smile, "My name is Qiao Qiao, and my brother's name is Qiao Kun."
"Oh, so your brother's name is also Qiao Kun... Eh?" Xiang Dongyan's expression froze.
I finally realized something was wrong.
His mind, which had been completely captivated by Qiao Qiao, finally returned to normal.
She stared wide-eyed at Qiao Qiao, then at her son behind her, whose expression also seemed rather strange.
Pei Yuanfan had initially raised his head upon hearing Qiao Qiao's words, "My brother is also named Qiao Kun," his gaze fierce, as if he had found an enemy and was preparing to take revenge.
When he looked up, he was met with Qiao Qiao's beautiful, almost unreal face.
The little girl was tiny, fair and delicate, and was being held obediently in her father's arms. At that moment, her big eyes were curved into crescent shapes as she looked at him.
Pei Yuanfan couldn't maintain his fierce expression any longer.
He suddenly understood his mother's words: "Boys are all smelly and hard, only daughters are sweet and soft."
really.
This was his first thought when he saw Qiao Qiao.
Just as his mother had described, the little girl was not only fragrant and soft, but also incredibly beautiful. Her skin was whiter than he had ever seen, even whiter than his older brother who stayed at home all year round.
It even gave him the illusion that if he looked at it too much, he would tarnish its whiteness.
The dark, soy-sauce-colored skin of the guy he fought with was completely different!
Thinking of Qiao Kun, Pei Yuanfan remembered his own current state and quickly lowered his head again, though he was still grumbling to himself.
How could someone as ruthless as Qiao Kun have such a fair-skinned and incredibly beautiful younger sister?
His mother is right, it's such a waste!
Such a pretty little girl should have crawled out of her mother's belly!
This moment.
The mother and son were remarkably in agreement.
"It can't really be that much of a coincidence, can it?" Xiang Dongyan still tried to struggle.
“If you’re talking about Qiao Kun from Class 2, Grade 7 at Hongfeng Middle School, then you’re right,” Meng Zhengcheng said.
He looked at the injuries on Pei Yuanfan's face with a knowing look in his eyes. After all, his little nephew was indeed capable of beating someone so badly that even his own father wouldn't recognize him.
"That's really too... coincidental." Xiang Dongyan felt a little embarrassed, remembering that she had vowed to settle scores with someone, but then turned around and drooled over that person's younger sister.
She switched sides in her mind almost without hesitation.
She turned to Pei Yuanfan and began to berate him: "Look at you, all you do every day is cause trouble for me. And not only that, you can't win in a fight. And if you can't win, you come to me to complain. You're really useless!"
"!!!" Pei Yuanfan.
He looked at his mother with disbelief.
"Mom, that's not what you just said! You said you wouldn't let them get away with it!" Pei Yuanfan said, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"What caused your fight?" Meng Zhengcheng asked.
He knew that his nephew had been strictly disciplined since childhood because he practiced martial arts, and that he wouldn't have been provoked into such a violent and ruthless fight over trivial matters.
If Karen Mok found out, she'd be in big trouble.
Upon hearing this question, Pei Yuanfan's eyes darted around.
Xiang Dongyan seemed to remember something and asked, "Right, why were you fighting? I forgot to ask you. Did they just stand there obediently and then come and beat you up?"
Pei Yuanfan felt guilty and remained silent.
"Why don't we go to my second sister-in-law's house and ask at the school where Qiao Kun is now? Did you take the taxi on campus?" Qiao Changdong asked.
"I...I don't know. He shouldn't be at school. We fought outside the wall."
Faced with the questioning looks from the adults, Pei Yuanfan gave a vague answer.
Unfortunately, no amount of ambiguity could change his mind.
After all, he encountered a group of police officers.
His specialty is interrogation.
Pei Anting immediately found a breakthrough, his eyes sharp: "It's Monday today, right? Why are you outside the wall? At noon... what, did you sneak out?"
It has to be said.
Pei Anting's words hit the nail on the head.
Pei Yuanfan's conflict with Qiao Kun stemmed from his attempt to leave school without permission.
Under interrogation by several adults, Pei Yuanfan couldn't hold out for more than three minutes before confessing what had happened.
It turns out that at noon today, the fourth period of the morning for both Class 2 and Class 3 of Hongfeng Middle School was physical education class.
In physical education class, the teacher would only symbolically gather everyone together for a short while, and then dismiss them for free time.
Including lunchtime and the start of class at 2:30 pm, there is a full three-hour gap in between.
Pei Yuanfan was a bit addicted to games, and in this poor town, the only arcade he could find appealing was this one.
The arcade he frequented got a new game machine, but he didn't go to play it on Sunday because he didn't have any money.
After receiving my allowance for the week on Monday, I decided to play during my lunch break to satisfy my craving for games.
However, to prevent them from climbing, the school wall was inlaid with many shards of broken glass, reaching a height of two meters, which was extremely dangerous.
Pei Yuanfan was worried that he wouldn't have much time to play games and didn't want to waste it carefully climbing over the wall, so he took another route—the dog hole.
To their surprise, when they reached the dog hole, there were already two people standing there.
