Chapter 2 Eldest Brother Ouyang

An unfamiliar but pure scent of a young man rushed onto her from up front, suddenly making Mei Xiaoran feel a little uncomfortable.

The one who came is Ouyang Xun, the only blood related older brother of Ouyang Ling.

Ouyang Xun was about fourteen or fifteen years old, was older than all the children present, bypassing in front of Lu Xia and Wang Ke as soon as he appeared, rushing head first to face Mei Xiaoran, grabbed her and pulled her up to a great distance away, so he can get to Ouyang Ling.

When Ouyang Ling saw her own older brother, really both surprised and happy, couldn’t help crying heavily with a big “Waa” sound, “Older Brother, you finally came, I almost scared to death, if not for Older Sister Ranran surely I had long fallen into the waste pond.”

“Lingling please don’t cry, give me your hand.”

Ouyang Xun pushed Mei Xiaoran up, and then tightly grasped Ouyang Ling’s wrist, when he pulled Ouyang Ling onto the dam, Mei Xiaoran had already climbed the dam earlier with the help of other little friends.

Looking up, finding Ouyang Xun’s handsome face still has a little bit of childishness there, the two sword-like eyebrows as thick as an ink, showing a perfectly natural beauty. The bridge of the nose is tall and firm like a mountain, coupled with the ruddy thin lips that were slightly pursed, a handsome look filled with brimming youthfulness approaching ahead……This is clearly a bright and handsome young man, a little fresh meat* that was enough to bring along a calamity.

(TN : little fresh meat, a terms that refers to young and handsome man between twelve to twenty years old)

Ouyang Ling was finally rescued, shocked and frightened while hugging her brother and cried, “Older Brother, I almost can’t see you again.”

Ouyang Xun calmed his sister, his voice was very gentle, “Don’t cry again Lingling, you are fine now.”

Mei Xiaoran couldn’t help feeling sad when she heard this, having a brother is really different, unlike her family, she is the eldest one.

When Ouyang Ling’s emotions settled down, the adults nearby heard the news and showed up, found out that it was Mei Xiaoran who first pulled Ouyang Ling, the adults one after another praised Mei Xiaoran’s wit and bravery……Mei Xiaoran didn’t want to take the credit, evade it and said: “If Older Brother Ouyang didn’t come, I won’t be able to climb up either, it’s still all thanks to Older Brother Ouyang.”

“It’s something that I should do, you even could help save my little sister, all the more me as her blood related older brother!”

Ouyang Xun’s didn’t say much, but every word he said makes people feel very comfortable, also very real. He squatted down and asked Ouyang Ling, “Didn’t our dad say that you are not allowed to play in the reservoir? You see how dangerous it was just now.”

Ouyang Ling sobbingly cried and answered, “Someone pushed me just now, otherwise I won’t fall down either.”

About this one matter Mei Xiaoran can testify for, she saw it herself that Ouyang Ling was pushed by someone, but can’t be sure whether it was purposely done so or not, they are children after all. Children may not know the degree of seriousness, maybe because of curiosity, or maybe because of mischievousness, they even may not know that they almost killed someone!

“It’s very dangerous here on the reservoir, in the future you are not allowed to sneak out here to play again.”

Ouyang Xun didn’t mean to blame his little sister, he just felt that it was strange.

His little sister was always an obedient one, before dad went to work this afternoon still warned not to let little sister go out to play at the reservoir, then why did she uncharacteristically run to play at the reservoir, and also happened to encounter this kind of accident?

The one that was also pondering is Mei Xiaoran, in previous life she only knew that Ouyang Ling went missing when she fell down into the waste pond, a while ago she just discovered it was because of being pushed by someone. But the strange thing is, that year after Ouyang Ling got into the accident, there were no circulated rumors about her being pushed into the pond at all……this is indeed inexplicable.

At this time, a girl in a red dress walked out from the crowd, came over and hugged Ouyang Ling, “Ling Ling don’t be afraid, your Older Brother was only worried about you.”

Mei Xiaoran noticed, the girl wore a red rope braided bracelet on her wrist, and the bracelet was also decorated with a shiny pearl flower……

It should be her!

Although at that time Mei Xiaoran didn’t clearly see who pushed Ouyang Ling, but the culprit’s hand also had a red bracelet which just happened to be exactly the same as this one, leaving her a deep impression.

When ouyang Ling saw the red dressed girl, immediately explained to her Older Brother as if she just saw her savior, “Older Brother, it’s Older Cousin Qi Yao who brought me to play on the reservoir.”

Qi Yao looked to be older than Ouyang Ling for three to four years, so Mei Xiaoran definitely was sure that she pushed on purpose. This is by no means a frivolous act among children, with the mind of a twelve to thirteen years old girl, absolutely knows how dangerous it is to fall into a waste pond. Thinking that Qi Yao was already so vicious at this very young age, and also nearly got herself implicated, Mei Xiaoran couldn’t help but feel angry and startled.

“Qi Yao, it was you who pushed Ouyang Ling, right?”

When Qi Yao heard this, she was frightened till her face turned white: “No, I don’t……How could I push Lingling?”

“It’s you, I saw it very clearly, the braided red bracelet that was decorated with a pearl flower on your hand is the proof.” Before Mei Xiaoran talked about this so-called evidence, she had swiftly paid attention to all the little girls present, although most of the little girls who love to be beauty wore red braided bracelets on their hands, but the one that had a pearl flower decorated there, only Qi Yao alone.

“Don’t talk nonsense, Lingling is my younger cousin, how could I push her?” Qi Yao has to be unyielding, faced with so many people, she will not admit it even if she was beaten to death.

Even the simple minded Ouyang Ling also didn’t believe it and defended her: “Older Sister Ranran, did you see it wrong? Older Cousin treats me so well, how could she push me?”

Mei Xiaoran’s depressed face all turns white!

Even the involved party refuses to believe it, what else can she say?

If she continues to argue, it will look as if she was the one to incite a relationship between this older and younger cousin, after all she was an outsider, even though she had just saved Ouyang Ling, it’s still not acceptable.

Fortunately, Ouyang Xun is not as simple minded as his sister, firmly staring at Qi Yao and asking, “You really didn’t push Lingling?”

“No……no……I really don’t, if you don’t believe me, I can swear it!”

Seeing the doubtful eyes cast by Ouyang Xun, Qi Yao was forced to swear: “If I pushed Ling Ling, let me……”

“Enough!”

Ouyang’s handsome face showed a trace of disappointment, calmly said, “Fortunately Lingling is fine, and I don’t want to pursue it anymore……However, you are Lingling’s Older Cousin, knowing that playing in the reservoir is dangerous, why should she be brought here? “

Qi Yao continued to lie without changing her face, pushing clean all the responsibility: “It was Ling Ling who wanted to play with water, so I brought her here.”

However simple minded Ouyang Ling was, she is also not willing to carry the pot: “Older Brother, I didn’t come on my own initiative, it’s Older Sister Yaoyao that said she would take me to the reservoir to play.”

Reporting mistake.

Qi Yao immediately retorted: “Lingling, dare you say that you don’t want to come to the reservoir to play yourself?” Once she asked this, the obedient Ouyang Ling immediately lowered her head and said nothing……In the summer season, which child does not want to go play at the reservoir?

Mei Xiaoran understanding it clearly, having guts or not is one problem, having desire or not is another problem, Qi Yao was clearly making confusion out of the words, utilizing Ouyang Ling’s obedience and simple minded heart, turning her own persuasion into Ouyang Ling’s initiative, taking an opportunity to shirk the responsibility.

Ouyang Xun sneered: “Qi Yao, then I ask you, where were you when everyone was rushing to save Lingling?”

Being under the gaze of everyone, Qi Yao’s face turned red instantly, the conduct is not as arrogant as before, a little bit dodging ambiguously. “I……I happened to have diarrhea.”

“You talk nonsense!”

At this moment, Wang Ke who had been silent all this time, felt fed up and stood up to point out: “I know why Qi Yao didn’t show up, I saw it with my own eyes that she was the one who pushed Lingling from behind, she slipped away after that……”
