Chapter 153: Chapter 149: A Fight Happened

Qingran had no idea when God Ji and Mi Xiao left; she only knew she was the first to return.

After Xie Ying’an finished saying that God Ji wasn’t a three-year-old child, Li Qingmo also came looking.

This dude, with all his flair, was wearing a pair of sunglasses impatiently gave Qingran a glance, and then turned to look at Xie Ying’an: "I’ve told you long ago, Li Qingran isn’t a three-year-old kid. She can’t get lost. What’s the point of looking for her?"

Pfft! Qingran thought, and wanted to scoff coldly. Is this something a brother should say?

Li Qingmo seemed to notice God Ji hidden behind Xie Ying’an for the first time. He walked over, moved Xie Ying’an aside, and craned his neck to look: "Who’s behind you? Why does he look a bit familiar?"

God Ji, who became famous young and mythologized after a single battle in F High, was naturally recognized by Li Qingmo.

Three youths standing together under an ancient tree, the last remaining sliver of sunset light cast upon them, created an indescribably beautiful scene.

But even the most beautiful scene would be instantly disrupted by the presence of Li Qingmo, the mood killer.

"Hey! Is that really God Ji?!" As if unable to see clearly, Li Qingmo even took off his sunglasses.

Now, the bruise above his right eye, with nothing to conceal it, was completely exposed to everyone.

Mi Xiao, curious, took a glance and raised an eyebrow, seeming somewhat interested.

Xie Ying’an probably had known about Li Qingmo’s obnoxious behavior in advance, as his expression didn’t change in the slightest.

Li Qingmo quickly caught on, put his sunglasses back on, and didn’t care about God Ji anymore, grabbing Qingran and ready to leave.

"Let’s go home, Dad will be back soon."

Qingran stumbled as she was pulled by him but soon regained her footing and caught up with his steps.

By the time they were about to reach their home, Xie Ying’an, who had been lingering behind them, caught up.

Qingran asked her brother, "Bro, with your eye like that, you still dare to see Dad?"

There was a hint of schadenfreude in her voice.

Of course, Li Qingmo didn’t dare. If he got into a fight because Li Qingran was bullied and he was helping her get revenge, that would be one thing; but if it was because he stirred up trouble himself, his Dad might very well break his legs.

With sunglasses on, Li Qingmo wasn’t at all intimidated and even shamelessly negotiated with Qingran, "When we get home, just tell Dad someone was trying to bully you and your brother fought back for your sake."

Qingran sneered, rolled her eyes, and pushed the door open to walk in.

Li Qingmo was dumbfounded. He grabbed Xie Ying’an, who was also about to enter, "Hey, what does Li Qingran mean by that? Did she agree or not?"

Xie Ying’an looked at him blandly, her face so somber it looked like it could drip water, "No idea."

After saying that, she shook off his hand and went in too.

Li Qingmo: "..."

She agreed, right? Why do I still feel like I’m doomed today?

Was it an illusion?

It wasn’t until Li Qingmo had truly received a beating from Mr. Li that Qingran learned from Xie Ying’an that it wasn’t Li Qingmo who instigated the fight this time; of course, the one who did was none other than Song Shize himself.

Upon learning that Li Qingmo was at the arcade, Song Shize went straight there. His addiction to gaming was even greater than Li Qingmo’s.

Normally, the three of them gaming together wouldn’t cause any trouble, at most Song Shize would say some nasty things and provoke Xie Ying’an a few times, but Xie Ying’an couldn’t be bothered to respond.

After a while, Xie Ying’an returned, and Liu Luoxi went over.

Liu Luoxi, with her straightforward and carefree personality, got along with everyone regardless of gender. She naturally hit it off with Song Shize too, and they played a few rounds of games together.

It was during an accidental glance that Liu Luoxi saw Liang Fan wearing a mask and walking with Wen Shiyi.

The arcade was located inside a large shopping mall. Liang Fan and Wen Shiyi must have come out shopping together, and not just the two of them, but with a few other classmates as well.

Liu Luoxi, a face-chaser, had already been a little greedy for Liang Fan’s body... ack! She’d already been a little eager for Liang Fan’s looks, and immediately threw aside the game, running over to greet Liang Fan.

His lousy teammates had bailed, and Song Shize naturally cast a glance in the direction Liu Luo Xi had come from, only to see his arch-enemy—Liang Fan!

Song Shize had no intention of going over there. Even though he had nothing but contempt for Liang Fan, that sissy who couldn’t take a loss, he was in a rare good mood to play games this weekend and didn’t want to ruin that.

But even if he didn’t go looking for trouble, Liang Fan, following Liu Luo Xi, had come over instead, probably thinking that with a larger number on his side, the chance of a fight breaking out with Song Shize was high.

"It was Liang Fan who started taunting first," Li Qingmo said, pounding the table with anger, "That lousy brat, he just can’t take a loss. When Song Shize challenged him to a fight in the woods, he didn’t show up. But here in the arcade, he had the nerve to provoke us first with that smug face asking for a beating."

Song Shize was notoriously hot-tempered and couldn’t take even a whisper of provocation from Liang Fan. He kicked the gaming machine and got into a brawl with Liang Fan right away.

This time, Song Shize’s sidekicks were not with him, and Li Qingmo, cool as a cucumber, continued to play his game, with no intention of helping out.

Given that Li Qingmo wasn’t going to help, and the fact that the few who came with Liang Fan were also looking at each other, none of them making a move.

Liang Fan, who lived in Jiangnan Water Town, naturally gave off the air of a frail scholar and was nowhere near a physical match for the brawny Song Shize, who was always looking for trouble.

Isn’t it said that sometimes irrational female emotions can really screw things up?

Others intervened because of Wen Shiyi, seeing Liang Fan being pinned to the ground and beaten by Song Shize, Wen Shiyi panicked and rushed to pull Song Shize away. Irritated, Song Shize tossed her aside with a backhand throw, sending her sprawling several meters away.

Among those who came out with Liang Fan, there were both men and women. The girls ran to help Wen Shiyi, while the boys were somewhat intimidated by the notorious troublemaker Song Shize. But spurred on by the looks from the girls, they heatedly joined the fray.

With the two sides fighting, Li Qingmo considered Song Shize a friend by now, and with the enemy outnumbering them, who else could he help if not Song Shize?

The onlookers at the background grew more and more numerous until the mall security finally pulled them apart.

Li Qingmo took off his sunglasses and tossed them aside, squinting his eyes, the old school bully swagger instantly apparent: "I’ve memorized the face of the person who hit me in the eye, heh!"

That sneer, he was definitely planning a revenge for the future.

Qingran kept on doing her homework, completely ignoring her big brother’s ranting and raving.

After dinner, Xie Ying’an didn’t come over to do homework either and entered his room with a stony face.

"Li Qingran?" Unable to bear the silence, Li Qingmo leaned in close to Qingran’s face, blocking her homework.

"What do you want?" Qingran knitted her brows.

Being shunned by his sister was not a new experience for Li Qingmo, but it didn’t bother him at all. With a sly grin, he asked, "Liang Fan’s mask got knocked off during the fight today. Do you want to know what he looks like?"

Curiosity is human nature.

Qingran felt a hint of interest and didn’t scorn her brother anymore: "Do you have a photo?"

Li Qingmo definitely didn’t have a photo, but Liu Luo Xi did.

Liu Luo Xi, who had been watching the excitement from the sidelines all along, was leisurely recording the scene with his phone while cheering them on, looking nothing like someone who actually liked Liang Fan.

Li Qingmo quickly obtained a photo of Liang Fan from Liu Luo Xi and showed it to Qingran.

Qingran leaned in for a look, and, just as her older cousin had said, Liang Fan was indeed quite handsome.

After all, he could barely be considered a secondary male role. How could he vie with Xie Ying’an for love interest if he didn’t have decent looks?

Qingran felt Liang Fan looked somewhat familiar as if she had seen him somewhere before. She pulled out her own phone to search for the celebrity photo her big cousin had sent her the day before, scrolling through the chat history twice without finding the photo.

She guessed it must have been deleted by Xie Ying’an.

Tsk! Xie Ying’an really lives up to the role of the male lead, that kind of possessive obsessiveness from the novels, he doesn’t lack it one bit.

"Aren’t you going to do your homework, brother?" Qingran tapped the homework she had finished that afternoon, showing off: "I’ve almost finished mine."

Li Qingmo’s smiling face instantly drooped.

"Not writing!" He was stubborn as he spoke and walked out: "Suddenly remembered, Liu Luo Xi has invited me to play games, bye, don’t disturb me!"

Psh!

Play games, huh? If Li Qingmo doesn’t secretly do his homework until wee hours tonight, she wouldn’t carry the Li surname!
