Chapter 9

Qin Yue eventually moved out to live on her own. It wasn't because of Fei Yue's persuasion or the bad impression left by that nocturnal emission; it was purely because she found the feeling of sneaking out at night quite fun. Of course, Fei Yue didn't know this; he was busy marveling at how mature his sister had become.

This little storm at home passed by like a spring dream, leaving no trace. The lives of the two siblings returned to normal once again.

Well... although there were still some inevitable accidents that happened without them noticing, these things still needed time to ferment and mature into a fine wine. For now, these troubles were just a pile of dregs.

Time always flies when life is on track. Another year passed, and during this time, there were plenty of laughable and tearful moments. Fei Yue even designed a detachable stapler, but a despicable uncle swindled the patent for ten thousand yuan. This wasn't important because to them, it was just a windfall. Whether the money was more or less didn't matter; the patent certificate hanging neatly in the living room was the true treasure in their hearts. This was far more impressive than the school's "Three Good Students" award, the sister sometimes thought.

Perhaps it was because the sister was starting to develop. The attention she received was clearly more than before, which troubled both Fei Yue and Qin Yue. Oh, are middle school students these days too mature? They're only in their third year of junior high, and they're already so eager to settle down for life.

But compared to the innocent love letters from junior high students, the attention from older students was much more troublesome. They were already half-grown, knowing how to use their resources to cause trouble in ways that were ten times more varied than those of junior high students. Sending flowers, telling stories, standing in the snow, shouting with megaphones, and even one idiot brought a sports car. One could only wonder what was in his parents' heads.

These troubles, after a year of accumulation, had filled the buffer space below. When they filled that space, it was time for them to erupt. And now, the time had come.

Beijing, the capital, has always been a place where various second and third generations gather. Most of them are clear-headed, not brain-dead, not middle-schoolish, and have ideals and ambitions. But there are always a few idiots who don't realize that Beijing might be more dangerous than Mars. They are arrogant and unruly, spoiled and capricious, and some even do things that enrage both heaven and earth... That's for the future. For now, these young rascals only know how to gather a group of social delinquents to play the hero and save the beauty.

=========================== The Line of Heroic Rescue ===========================

On the evening of December 18, 2018, the sky was dark, with no moon and no stars visible.

The two-day holiday ahead was beckoning the two siblings who had just finished their evening study session and were walking home at night. This made the two fourth-year junior high students quite excited. The sister chattered around her brother, telling him about the interesting things in her class, like a lark dancing around a big tree.

At this moment, the brother stopped, shielding the sister behind him, and his expression turned serious.

'?' The sister, seeing her brother's arms shielding her, was at a loss.

"Qin Yue, I have a bad feeling. There's danger coming. Run away quickly, don't worry about me," Fei Yue whispered to his sister behind him.

"Ah! What..." Before the sister could finish her sentence, three strangely dressed, rough-looking social delinquents jumped out from the shadows ahead.

"Little brother, walking with such a pretty girlfriend at night, you have to be careful, hehe," the first thug pulled out a telescopic baton from his waist and swung it menacingly. The other two also took out their weapons and made dangerous gestures.

"What do you want?" Fei Yue stood in the middle of the road, pushing the sister behind him to run.

"We don't want anything, just that the brothers are short on cash and need to borrow some from you. How about it, little brother? Don't worry, we only rob for money," the first thug smiled and approached.

"Let my sister go first. Once she's gone, I'll give you the money, all of it." Fei Yue pulled out a few hundred-yuan notes from his pocket and made a gesture as if to tear them. "Or we can fight to the death. I don't believe you dare to kill."

The first thug was taken aback by Fei Yue's boldness. He looked around and then swallowed hard. "No problem, let your sister go first."

Fei Yue pushed the sister back a few steps. "Go first, I'm fine. Hurry up."

"I..." The sister was almost in tears from fear, but she still didn't want to leave. But what could she do if she stayed? A sister who causes trouble for her brother isn't a good sister. She turned and ran down the alley.

Seeing the sister run a few steps, Fei Yue visibly relaxed. But this moment of relief was seized by the experienced thugs. The first thug lunged forward, grabbing the money in Fei Yue's hand, and simultaneously swung his baton at Fei Yue's ribs.

"Smack!"

Fei Yue felt his waist almost break. He clutched his painful spot, unable to speak, and then, bent over, he was kicked to the ground by the second thug.

The sister, who had just run a few steps, heard the commotion behind her and turned around, forgetting to scream. She instinctively stopped and ran back.

Qin Yue, in a state of agitation, ran back faster than Usain Bolt, and with this speed, she pushed one of the thugs who was beating her brother to the side. She then stood in front of her brother in a protective stance, like a mother hen protecting her chicks. Now it was the sister's turn to protect the brother.

"Idiot, why did you come back?" Fei Yue, seeing his sister return, forgot his pain in shock. His mind was a mess, and his only thought was to keep those scumbags away from his sister.

Fei Yue, with his small universe exploding, completely ignored his waist injury. He didn't even stand up straight but pounced on the two stunned thugs, knocking them to the ground and pinning them down. "Go, run! Don't cause trouble, run!"

"No, I won't go." The sister's face was pale with fear, but she still picked up a half-brick from a pile of bricks and threw it at the lone thug with all her might, hitting him right on the head.

"Ahh!" The thug, who was just getting up, was knocked down again, rolling on the ground in pain, his cries echoing through the alley, making it seem like hell.

"Old Cat!" The other two thugs, seeing their comrade injured, were enraged. Fei Yue, who was already weak, was kicked in the waist and flew back. The two crazed thugs then pounced on Fei Yue and kicked him mercilessly.

"Thud" "Bang" "Smack"...

Qin Yue, holding a new brick, couldn't find an opportunity to strike. Seeing her brother being beaten so brutally and feeling helpless, she finally broke down. Self-blame, helplessness, regret, resentment, and sorrow all coalesced into one word.

"Stop it!"

At that moment, a voice seemed to come from somewhere else, but Qin Yue didn't hear it. No one else did either, because...

"Stop it! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
