Chapter 29: Don't Follow Me!

The little girl had just woken up to find Grandpa and Grandma gone, so she had no choice but to find her brother.

But as soon as she came downstairs, she heard her brother was going to fight someone named "Dead Face."

Su Luo wrinkled her little nose in distaste. What a strange name! Why would anyone be called "Dead Face"?

Even though Su Luo didn't know who "Dead Face" was, she knew fighting was wrong. She had to stop her brother.

"Brother, you can't fight," the little girl said seriously. "Fighting is bad."

"None of your business! Boys' stuff, girls butt out."

With Grandpa and Grandma absent, Huo Tianlin immediately showed his true colors. He turned around and glared at her fiercely.

He was so sick of this little girl! Girls were all so awful!

Su Luo's eyes widened slightly, looking at him in disbelief. "Brother?"

The little girl pouted, hurt and confused. Why had he suddenly turned mean again?

Just a moment ago, he'd been so nice to her, and now he was back to being fierce. Boys' thoughts were really hard to understand.

Was he acting this way because he was heartbroken and in a bad mood?

Su Luo blinked, convinced she'd figured out the truth.

She had heard it all! Her brother's girlfriend had dumped him!

The little girl frowned slightly, giving him a sympathetic look.

Sigh... Brother is so pitiful...

Since he was so pitiful, she'd forgive him just this once!

"Mind your own business, and don't you dare tattle to Grandpa and Grandma," Huo Tianlin snarled threateningly, shaking his little fist. "Or I'll beat you up!"

Su Luo puffed out her cheeks, her big, watery eyes looking at him plaintively, as if saying, "Brother, you're bullying me!"

"Don't cry!" Huo Tianlin glanced around nervously. His words sounded fierce, but there was no real conviction behind them.

Sisters were the worst! Always crying and whining, so annoying!

After delivering his fierce threats, Huo Tianlin quickly left with his minion in tow.

"Brother, wait for me!" Su Luo immediately started toddling after him on her little legs.

"Don't follow me!" Huo Tianlin suddenly stopped, turned around, and bared his teeth at her fiercely.

"Crybaby, don't follow me, or I'll beat you up too! Got it?"

Su Luo stopped in her tracks, her little mouth puckered in a pout. Her big, watery eyes stared intently at him, looking like she might burst into tears at any second.

Huo Tianlin stiffly turned his head away, feeling a pang of guilt. He couldn't bear to look at her, afraid the little girl really would start crying.

If he actually made her cry, Grandpa and Grandma would skin him alive!

Little girls were such a pain! Always on the verge of tears.

If it were anyone else, he'd just beat them up and be done with it!

But when it came to Su Luo...

He couldn't hit her, couldn't scold her... what else could he do?

Forget it! If I can't deal with her, I can at least avoid her!

Huo Tianlin couldn't wait to shake off this troublesome tag-along. Grabbing his minion, he took off running as if fleeing from a flood or a savage beast.

Su Luo stood frozen on the spot, watching her brother vanish like a little whirlwind.

Su Luo's little face instantly scrunched up like a troubled dumpling.

Even though her brother told her not to follow him...

Fighting was wrong, and she was really worried about him. What if he got hurt?

The little girl hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she quietly tiptoed after them.

Hmm... as long as Brother doesn't find out!

Su Luo crept along behind them, looking for all the world like a little thief.

Meanwhile, the oblivious Huo Tianlin remained completely unaware. His mind was full of visions of pummeling that pretty boy Si Yang into a swollen mess, teaching him a lesson for daring to steal his girlfriend!
