"How could you be so careless? If you broke your clothes, I would have to stay up all night to mend them for you!" A seven to eight-year-old boy with clean and innocent eyes pulled up Little Lingyu, who had accidentally fallen to the ground. He patted the dust off her pants as he spoke.
"This candy is for you, I don't like candy!" His mother had only given him two pieces of candy. Ling Yun licked his lips and swallowed hard. While his mother was cooking in the kitchen, he stretched out his hand and gave the candy to Little Lingyu, who had a face full of hope.
"If you dare to bully my sister, I will fight you to the death!" The nine-year-old Ling Yun stubbornly stood in front of Lingyu, clenching his fists tightly as he spoke fiercely to the few children who wanted to bully Lingyu.
"Don't be afraid, little sister. Don't worry, I will protect you …" After the fight, Ling Yun forced a smile as he patted Lingyu's shoulder to comfort her.
Looking at the shallow dimple that appeared on Ling Yun's left cheek whenever he smiled, Lingyu felt a sense of security and pride as she nodded her head vigorously.
The heartwarming scenes replayed in front of her eyes one after another. Finally, it was six years ago! That year, Ling Yun was just twelve years old, and so was Lingyu.
Someone else's words had ruthlessly torn apart the emotional line of defense of the already sensible brother and sister!
"Her surname is Ning, your surname is Ling, you are not biological siblings! You are a wild child that her mother picked up from the streets! A wild child that no one wants! "
For the first time, Ling Yun did not stand in front of his sister. For the first time, he was completely silent. For the first time, he did not fiercely clench his fists and fight back!
The pure, brave, and kind heart of a young man was shattered by a vicious and harsh sentence!
It turned out that Lingyu had contracted a serious illness less than a month after she was born. Ling Yun was picked up by his mother at the entrance of a temple while she was on her way to pray to Buddha.
There was only a piece of paper stuffed in the simple bedding with the words "Ling Yun". There was no other keepsake. It was obvious that Ling Yun's parents had left him to fend for himself.
From a young age, the siblings knew that they were not biological siblings, but their relationship was closer than that of biological siblings! Lingyu had always treated her brother as her own.
Even after others said that, she still followed Lingyun as usual. She even secretly complained why her mother didn't change Lingyun's surname to Ning Lingyun.
She naively thought that if that was the case, her brother would not be attacked with such vicious words.
But his mother only said one sentence indifferently, "His name is Ling Yun, and it will be Ling Yun. I won't change his name. This way, if his biological parents want to find him in the future, it will be easier for them to do so. "
Although Little Lingyu grumbled, she accepted her mother's words.
However, what Ning Lingyu did not expect was that Ling Yun had completely changed after hearing those words. He had completely changed!
He became quiet, abandoned to despair, and isolated. He no longer shielded her from the wind and rain. He no longer bravely stood in front of her and waved his fists at those bad students who bullied him.
However, Ning Lingyu knew that Ling Yun was still silently protecting her. It was just that he had changed his method.
Whenever he found out that someone wanted to bully her, Ling Yun would choose to let them beat him up on the condition that they did not bully his sister!
Other than her, who else knew that Ling Yun became so fat just to reduce the pain when he was beaten up?
However, what Ning Lingyu did not know was that Ling Yun chose this method because he realized that even though he was taller and bigger than his peers, his body was terrifyingly weak!
He did not tell anyone about this. He only endured it in silence. One unintentional vicious word from a bad child had indeed pierced through Ling Yun's innermost inferiority complex, causing a drastic change in his temperament!
No matter how Ning Lingyu tried to persuade her brother, it was useless. In the end, she was completely disheartened. However, she still had a glimmer of hope that her brother could stand up again and stand in front of her to protect her.
For this, she did not hesitate to roll her eyes at Ling Yun and even ignored him. She wanted to awaken his courage and dignity as a man!
This morning, Ning Lingyu naturally heard about the two big rumors about Ling Yun. She did not care what happened between her brother and Cao Shanshan because even an idiot would know that they would never cross paths.
However, when she found out that her brother had beaten up someone in the dormitory last night, her eyes lit up!
She did not believe it at all! It had been six years, was that even possible? It was already good enough that her brother was not beaten up by others. Why would he go and beat up others?
However, now that she saw the big boy carrying the sandbag and running on the field, she believed it! She was excited, she was happy, how could she not be in tears?
The brother who could protect her, who could love her, who dared to do anything for her, was finally back!
A handsome, elegant, and well-dressed man stood not far from Ning Lingyu. His eyes were filled with a burning desire as he stared greedily at Ning Lingyu who was leaning against the railing and crying.
He was from the same class as Ning Lingyu, and his name was Xie Junyan. He was one of the four big spoiled brats in Qingshui High. However, unlike the other three, his academic results were outstanding.
Those who didn't know him would often be confused by his handsome appearance, elegant manner, and proud smile. They would think that he was an elegant and handsome young master from the mortal world.
At this moment, beside him, there was a classy young lady dressed in branded clothing from head to toe. She was wearing high heels, and her face was covered in foundation. Her lips were smeared with lipstick, and her arm was wrapped tightly around his elbow. Her eyes were fixed on Ning Lingyu without blinking.
This girl seemed to be born with a sense of superiority. The way she looked at Ning Lingyu was filled with disdain and disdain, and her face was filled with undisguised hatred and resentment.
All of this pointed to one thing, she was jealous of Ning Lingyu.
She was the third most beautiful girl in Qingshui High, and her name was Zhuang Meina. She was the daughter of the richest man in Qingshui City, the Zhuang Medical Group. In terms of family background, although it could not be compared to Cao Shanshan's mysterious family background, it was still considered to be prestigious.
In other words, Zhuang Meina was the standard Ms. Perfect.
Coincidentally, she and Ning Lingyu were both assigned to Grade 12 Class 1. From then on, her nightmare began!
Although she was also one of the three most beautiful girls in Qingshui High, she was always overshadowed by Cao Shanshan and Ning Lingyu. No matter how much she dressed up, she was still recognized as the third most beautiful girl in school.
Zhuang Meina was also very hardworking in her studies, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not win against Ning Lingyu, who had always been the number one in school!
With Cao Shanshan's mysterious family background, Zhuang Meina knew that she was no match for Cao Shanshan. On the other hand, Ning Lingyu's family was so poor that they could not even afford a decent piece of clothing. What right did Ning Lingyu have to steal the limelight?
That was not all. What made Zhuang Meina even crazily jealous was that Xie Junyan, the son of a government official, whom she had a crush on since junior high, had actually publicly courted Ning Lingyu. Furthermore, after being rejected time and time again, he became more and more courageous, persistently pursuing Ning Lingyu for two and a half years!
It was only until the third year of high school, when Xie Junyan, under the pressure of the college entrance examination, felt that there was no hope of pursuing Ning Lingyu. Only then did he temporarily give up on Ning Lingyu and accept Zhuang Meina's love.
This famous love triangle in Qingshui High was one of the most talked about gossips among the teachers and students in the past three years!
Now, Xie Junyan, who had finally accepted her as his girlfriend, did not care about her feelings at all. In front of her, Xie Junyan was staring at her nemesis, Ning Lingyu, as if he had lost his soul. Zhuang Meina's heart was filled with jealousy and hatred!
Zhuang Meina could not suppress the hatred in her heart. She turned her eyes and glanced at the figure running slowly on the field. A malicious smile flashed across her face. She purposely spoke in a voice that Ning Lingyu could hear, "Junyan, look at that stupid pig on the field. How could he use such a stupid method to lose weight? What a joke!"
In Qingshui High, there was another big gossip that was talked about by the teachers and students for the past three years. Almost everyone in the school knew that the proud and dazzling school belle, Ning Lingyu, had a weird half-brother, the good-for-nothing Ling Yun.
The younger sister had always been the top student in the school. However, the older brother had given up on his studies long ago and was just a good-for-nothing.
"I really don't know what's the point of living for a good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat and wait to die. He might as well die!"
As if she saw Ning Lingyu's delicate body tremble slightly, a satisfied smile appeared on Zhuang Meina's face. She continued to add fuel to the fire!
Xie Junyan was well aware of Zhuang Meina's intention to provoke and humiliate Lingyu. However, he only frowned slightly and looked down at Zhuang Meina. He did not say anything.
Ning Lingyu, who had always ignored Zhuang Meina's unscrupulous provocation for the past two years, finally raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face when she heard Zhuang Meina's second sentence. She took one last look at Ling Yun on the field and slowly turned her head back.
Her clear eyes were slightly red as she stared coldly at Zhuang Meina. Zhuang Meina's heart skipped a beat.
"Let me tell you, my brother is not a good-for-nothing!"
