Chapter 272: 161 Startled Little Rabbit (First Update)

Seeing Shen Xi after many days, Shen Xin’s heart instantly filled with grievance, and with a choked voice, she threw herself into Shen Xi’s arms, "Brother—brother—I finally found you! I finally found you!" Her slender fingers clutched tightly at the front of Shen Xi’s clothing, and crystal-clear tears fell on it, leaving mottled damp marks.

Shen Xi held Shen Xin tightly in his arms, listening to her sobbing, he felt as though his heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand, extremely uncomfortable.

Thinking of the days spent in fear, his eyes gradually moistened too. He blinked back the tears and reached out to pat Shen Xin’s back, soothing her in a soft voice, "Xinxin, don’t cry. Brother swears, I’ll never let you leave my side again, and I’ll protect you." As he said this, he reached out to cup Shen Xin’s cheeks, intending to wipe away the tears on her face, when he suddenly saw that the right side of her face was badly swollen.

She had an oval-shaped face, especially small and delicate, with skin so fair and tender, always looking so endearing. But now, her right cheek was grotesquely swollen, even showing clear fingerprints!

Shen Xi was not blind; how could he not see that his treasured younger sister, whom he had finally found, was clearly hit by someone!

This was utterly outrageous! Taking things too far!

His expression darkened instantly, his handsome face turned ashen, and his eyes flashed with a ferocity that did not match his gentle appearance. Carefully cradling Shen Xin’s face, Shen Xi asked through clenched teeth, "Xinxin, tell your brother, who hurt you? Does it hurt a lot?" His fingers lightly touched Shen Xin’s swollen cheek.

Shen Xin cried out in pain immediately, "Ah! Brother, don’t touch there, it hurts so much." As she spoke, her eyes quickly filled with tears, and shining tear drops hung from the corners, making her eyes even more beautiful.

Shen Xi quickly withdrew his fingers and asked again, "Then tell me, who hurt you?"

Shen Xin did not know Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang’s names. She thought for a moment and told Shen Xi the whole story, "I was originally staying in a Safe Zone in the city, waiting for you to find me, but the zombies in the city kept getting more and increasing in ferocity. Everyone in the Safe Zone was so scared, saying that they wanted to move to an outer Safe Zone where it was safe, so I followed them here. On the way, we encountered a very fierce zombie, and a soldier saved me. He was sent to Safe Hospital, and I was worried about him, so I stayed there. Two superpower users were treating him, and then a brother and sister with the surname Fang came. That sister was so fierce, she even had me thrown out, and I got this injury on my face from her brother."

Hearing her say this, Shen Xi’s expression turned increasingly grave, and he let out a cold laugh, "The Fang surname, is it? Xinxin, rest assured, your brother will definitely seek justice for you." He had guessed who it was.

Shen Xin was smart, and from his words, she knew Shen Xi must know that brother and sister; she couldn’t help asking, "Brother, do you know them? Who are they? Major Zhou was especially polite to them, and I have no idea who they really are."

Shen Xi patted her shoulder, not answering, but instead said, "You’ve just arrived at the Safe Zone, right? Come, I’ll take you to register, and then take you to where I’m staying."

In his eyes, his younger sister was innocent and kind-hearted; he did not want her to know of those dark and vicious schemings.

Shen Xin sensed that Shen Xi did not want to talk about it, but she really wanted to know, so she slightly lowered her gaze, looking up at Shen Xi with a pitiful yet obedient expression; she added with a touch of ’understanding’, "Brother, can’t you talk about their identity? If you have concerns, then forget it; I won’t ask you anymore."

Shen Xi’s heart instantly softened. He took a clean handkerchief out of his inner pocket and gently wiped the tears from Shen Xin’s face. Fearing he would hurt her, his touch was extremely gentle, and after he finished, he said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I’m your brother, you don’t have to worry about anything, nor do you have to be cautious about anything."

Hearing this, Shen Xin secretly smiled in triumph, but she still maintained her obedient facade, smiling sweetly at Shen Xi, "Brother~ I just knew it, you are the best to me!" She paused here and continued, "Since there is nothing to be cautious about, who exactly are they? That Fang woman was so arrogant, do they hold high status?"

Shen Xi scoffed with disdain, "High status? She is barely able to protect herself now."
