Chapter 166: Why Are You Crying Again?

Shi Jin fell silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice at a breakneck speed.

"Master, you don't know what he did to me; if you knew, you wouldn't say that. The thing about taking bird eggs, falling down—if he hadn't said he'd catch me, could I have felt so at ease? If he hadn't suddenly walked away, could I have fallen? The rest I won't mention; you wouldn't believe anyway…"

There was no one else who saw it at the time.

If someone had seen it.

Could Shi Ren still speak of him carelessly?

Feng Qingyang was indeed a bit skeptical; Shi Ren, looking at such a polite child, wondered how he could have done such a thing.

Moreover.

Shi Jin is his full brother from the same mother.

If they were royal children, it would be understandable.

But they are not royal children.

Feng Qingyang patted Shi Jin on the back and said, "Got it. I'll watch over him from now on. Alright, go inside and sit."

He didn't leave.

Xiao Shitou and the others didn't go out; they were all sitting inside.

He saw him walk away.

Xiao Shitou and Shi Yun came toward Shi Jin.

Xiao Shitou was the first to ask Shi Jin, "Shi Jin, why are you and your older brother like this?"

Aren't they full brothers?

Full brothers should be affectionate toward each other, shouldn't they?

Shi Jin glanced at Shi Ren, who was sitting on the side reading, and said, "I can't stand Shi Ren, and he can't stand me; we don't look like full brothers at all."

He thought about the things that happened in the past, but still didn't tell Shi Yun and the others.

They are younger than him, their cultivation isn't as good; even if they helped him, they wouldn't be a match for Shi Ren.

Shi Jin doesn't intend to drag them into his conflict with Shi Ren.

"How could it be like this…"

Shi Yun muttered.

He had originally wanted a younger brother or sister, but hearing Shi Jin's words, he suddenly thought that not having one was also fine.

As he kept thinking, he recalled his parents who had died early; the sorrow in his heart expanded infinitely, and he burst into tears again.

He cried silently.

Xiao Shitou and Shi Jin looked over and only then realized he was crying.

"Why are you crying again?"

Xiao Shitou asked.

Shi Jin thought it was his own fault that made him cry, and said, "I'm fine; I've gotten used to it. If I cried like you every day, my eyes would go blind. Don't cry; if you go blind, you won't be able to see us."

Shi Yun had never known that crying a lot could blind one's eyes.

He hurriedly wiped away his tears.

Xiao Shitou raised an eyebrow slightly; the trick seemed useful, and he thought he'd tell his mother at home.

The next few lessons.

Shi Ren didn't cause any more trouble; because of the earlier incident unsettling him, Shi Jin thereafter simply moved to sit next to Shi Yun.

Shi Yun also no longer wanted to cry as much as before.

Otherwise.

Shi Jin guessed that he wouldn't be able to sit next to him for long before he couldn't stand him.

Before he knew it, it was dismissal time.

Xiao Shitou, Shi Jin and the others had already packed up, waiting for the last class to end, then loaded the rest of their things into their schoolbags and left.

As soon as Feng Qingyang announced that school was over, they packed up and left.

Shi Ren watched the few of them laughing and chatting as they walked out, ignoring him; a trace of gloom flickered in his eyes. How could he have friends like Xiao Shitou and the others?

The gloom in his eyes vanished in an instant, so no one noticed.

Xiao Shitou quickly noticed that he hadn't kept up.

He turned around and called out to Shi Ren, "Shi Ren, hurry and catch up; we leave school pretty quickly. My mother should be waiting at the gate now."
