Therefore, I have a deep understanding of the little fish

Only after the father heard the doctor say this did he feel at ease

Wen Shaoyue turned his face, facing me directly, and the expression on his face instantly vanished. After several seconds, he hesitantly called out: "Sister"

Wen Shaoyue seems to be a bit afraid of me, as he shrank his neck and slowly walked towards me

That was the first time my father hit me

Just after coming out of the subway and walking less than 200 meters, I saw my younger brother Wen Shaoyan following behind a young man

That summer vacation, my father's business encountered a setback; he lost his largest client, and his annual bonus went down the drain. For an entire month, my father's temper was quite poor

Walking along the road with Wen Shaoyue, I recalled the events from when I was eleven, and my heart still ached faintly

That thug probably feared falling victim to my ruthless methods again, so he hurriedly made his escape

The woman smiled upon hearing Wen Shaoyue's words and said, "Did your mother not tell you before that you are not allowed to eat those greasy foods? They are not good for your health." She glanced at me again and continued, "However, since it was your sister who took you this time, I will let it pass. But you must not eat them next time."

At that moment, the girls in the class said they wanted to go to the more upscale New World Plaza. I snapped back to reality from my memories, delighted to go along with the crowd, as it was just a way to pass the time. I will first observe their stamina; if after five or six hours their stamina is still at a positive level, I will buy two tickets for consecutive movies, watching until around 9 or 10 PM, and then head straight home to sleep.

My words naturally angered my father, and he was about to hit me, but he was stopped by that woman, who probably also felt that she had gone a bit too far.

Before showing my report card to my father, I hesitated for a long time and ultimately decided to give it to him when he was in a better mood. However, to my surprise, when my father saw my dismal grades, he still erupted in anger

He seemed to have seen me as well, his footsteps slowed slightly, covering his face in fear that I would recognize him

Wen Shaoyue hesitated and did not utter a word, first glancing at me, but was frightened by my fierce appearance and took a few steps back

Originally, I intended to take Xiao Yu along with me, and she should also add a few pieces of "equipment" to her wardrobe. Otherwise, when facing the relentless pursuit of those beautiful women after Yao Yizhou, her combat effectiveness might turn negative. One must understand that "people rely on their attire, just as horses rely on their saddles." If a girl does not know how to dress herself, in ten years, she will only be left to tidy herself up at home.

I remember at that time, I snatched the report card from my father's hands and ran to my room, covering my face. Wen Shaoyue was looking for me with a toy, asking me to teach him how to play. Impatiently, I waved my hand forcefully, knocking the young boy down to the ground and causing him to lose a tooth, which frightened him into crying loudly.

Little did I know that when I just mentioned to Xiaoyu about going shopping for clothes together, she smiled and shook her head. Thus, my good intentions were rendered futile

Jichuan once held a skeptical attitude towards my taste; in fact, I didn't think much of it either. It was just that during Christmas, I dressed up as Santa Claus, and on his birthday, he dressed up as Doraemon.

In the coming days, I will be staying at Xiao Yu's house, as no one cares where I live anyway, nor does anyone ask if I will freeze to death on the street for not returning home

I turned and walked towards Wen Shaoyan

When I returned home, the woman was a bit surprised to see me enter with Wen Shaoyan, her expression fluctuating between joy and displeasure

I let out a cold laugh, released my grip, and sternly reprimanded Wen Shaoyue: "Go home with me!"

I maintained a stern expression, raised my hand to grasp the wrist of the little thug who had reached out, and with a twist, using the skillful technique that Ji Chuan had taught me, I swiftly subdued the little thug

In fact, I know that Yao Yizhou is Shen Xiaoyu's Achilles' heel

My academic performance has always been poor, and at that time, I did not receive any admission notices from secondary schools. This left me quite conflicted, and I began to wonder if I truly was not good at studying, as I was eliminated in the very first selection examination of my life, which was indeed very embarrassing

My uncle and aunt are so good to me that I am at a loss for words. They almost ask me every day what I would like to eat, and when I return home with Xiao Yu, there is a table full of delicious dishes waiting for me, making me feel an immense sense of happiness and warmth

Almost instantly, my face became swollen

Over the years, there have been times when Ji Chuan and I have argued. Every time Ji Chuan and I have a dispute, no matter who mentions Ji Chuan in front of me, I refuse to say a word. In fact, every girl encounters that one boy; when you think of that boy, there are both laughter and tears, pain and joy. Perhaps, this is the torment of youth

That little rogue seemed quite displeased with my tone, tossing aside his hair that covered his eyes, he took two steps forward in three strides, and with a frivolous expression, reached out his hand as if to touch my face

There was no way out; I had no choice but to go with the girls in my class, even though I still cannot clearly distinguish their names to this day

Am I not the same? Jichuan is also my Achilles' heel

Wen Shaoyue was primarily listening to that petty thug speak, with a look of longing on his face

The clothing at New World Plaza is quite expensive, with price tags starting at 5,000. A few young ladies were so shocked after browsing around that they stuck out their tongues, and they could only choose to shift their focus to the mid-to-high-end Xidan shopping mall

Wen Shaoyue sat on his father's lap, looking at me with a face that was begging to be hit. At that moment, I was so angry that I couldn't say a word, and could only quickly run back to my room, covering my swollen, burning face, sulking by myself

To this day, I still remember the force of that slap; for most of the night, my entire face was burning with pain. After a full day, my face remained swollen, and it was not until the next day that the swelling subsided

After hesitating for a moment, I decided to take a little control over this matter. After all, I cannot allow myself to be implicated in his foolish actions. Therefore, I turned my head and instructed the girls in the class to leave first

I truly envy families like Xiaoyu's. Something happened in their home that I find endearing; even their bowls and chopsticks seem familiar to me.

In fact, I only have a few tricks up my sleeve. If he wishes to stay, I would be reluctant to use him for practice.

I was indeed a bit scared at that time, not knowing whether Wen Shaoyan had actually suffered internal bleeding from my strike

I saw Wen Shaoyan take a few steps back and then walk forward again, knowing that this kid wanted to leave but did not dare to. I let out a cold laugh and shouted angrily: "Wen Shaoyan! Come here!"

The weekend is approaching, and I find myself unsure of where to go. While casually browsing through my social media feed, I discovered that a few girls from my class were organizing a shopping trip, so I decided to join their group

The woman rushed out of the room like the wind, holding Wen Shaoyan and crying uncontrollably, as if I had done something to them. Coupled with the housekeeper's exaggerated shouts, the woman clutched Wen Shaoyan and cried out to my father: "It's all your fault, always spoiling her mischief! Look at her, she is simply like a wild girl with no one to discipline her! She dares to bully Shaoyan right in front of me at home; who knows how she bullies him when I'm not around!" The woman clutched Wen Shaoyan and cried out to my father: "It's all your fault, always spoiling her mischief! Look at her, she is simply like a wild girl with no one to discipline her! She dares to bully Shaoyan right in front of me at home; who knows how she bullies him when I'm not around!"

That year I was only eleven years old, and Wen Shaoye was five; he was at the age of being mischievous

It was a summer, the summer when I transitioned from elementary school to middle school—actually, during that summer, I was somewhat afraid that my father would not allow me to attend school and would kick me out of the house

Hmph! How could I, Wen Ya, be easily bullied by a ruffian like him? My boyfriend is at least a Taekwondo practitioner, and I have learned a few self-defense moves myself

Wen Shaoyue seems to be aware that I have caught him in a compromising situation, standing by without daring to utter a word.

Wen Shaoye glanced at me and quickly whispered, "Mom, my sister took me to Xidan to play for a while and took me to eat pizza"

Wen Shaoyue glanced at me timidly, his face displaying an expression of lingering fear.

The little rogue had a face full of sorrow, his voice more unpleasant than crying: "Heroine, heroine, spare me, please. Your greatness should not hold a grudge against a small person like me."

Seeing Wen Shaoyan's pathetic appearance, I couldn't help but wonder what bad things this little ruffian was teaching him. I furrowed my brows and shouted loudly: "Wen Shaoyan, come here!"

I looked around and it seemed that my father had not returned home, only that woman and her relatives were present

At that time, I also went to the hospital.

After a while, she managed to force out a stiff smile: "How come you all came back together? Shaoyan, where did you go to play with your sister? Tell Mom about it, what delicious food did you have? Where did you go and what did you do?"

I let out a cold snort and continued to intimidate him: "If I see you with these people again next time, I will break your legs"

Wen Shaoyue is the most cherished treasure in his father's heart. Upon hearing Wen Shaoyue's cries, he rushed over quickly, helped Wen Shaoyue, who had fallen to the ground, and raised his hand to slap me on the other side of my face.

But that woman insisted on taking Wen Shaoyan for a CT scan to see if he had any internal injuries

Wen Shaoyue is not far from me, and it wasn't long before I met him face to face

I grabbed Wen Shaoyeh by the collar and asked, "Who are you associating with? Do you have any principles when it comes to making friends?"

Every evening, I chat with Xiaoyu about various topics, often reminiscing about the past. No matter what subject I bring up, Xiaoyu is always full of interest. However, every time I mention Yao Yizhou, she becomes like a mute, shrinking to the side and saying nothing.

When he was five years old, I really hit him once, resulting in the loss of one of his teeth. From that day on, Wen Shaoyue was particularly afraid of me... I suppose in his eyes, I am an emotionally unstable sister, a bad sister who can inexplicably lose her temper...

I originally thought that my father would just criticize me a few times like he used to, so I braced myself and listened, not daring to refute him. I planned to get back at him with interest after he allowed me to attend middle school. However, I never expected that my nonchalant and carefree demeanor would infuriate my father, and he raised his hand and slapped my face.

Wen Shaoyue widened his eyes, shaking his head in fear, still not daring to say a word

I suspect that she is being so courteous to me because of those relatives; I have no desire to engage with her insincere politeness.

I let out a cold snort and, frowning with impatience, said: "You better keep Wen Shaoyan away from me."

But am I a vegetarian? He, Wen Shaoyan, has grown up right under my nose, how could I possibly not recognize him?

I looked at Wen Shaoyan's obsequious demeanor and immediately felt displeased

The woman stared at me for a long time without saying a word, her eyes wide open as she looked at me, then glanced at Wen Shaoyan.

The young man was dressed in a very non-mainstream style, and his hair was also styled in a non-mainstream wash, cut, and blow-dry. He tilted his head, seemingly engaged in conversation with Wen Shaoyan, who was nodding beside him, appearing to be in complete agreement with that little ruffian.

I am quite indifferent; I do not have to see that woman's unpleasant face every day, and I feel very cheerful, even able to finish an entire bowl of rice.

In fact, I know that Wen Shaoyan is afraid of me

I understand what that woman means; she merely wants to create a stir over the incident where I accidentally bumped into Wen Shaoyan. Otherwise, she fears she cannot bear the title of a seductress. However, I deliberately do not comply with her wishes and instead fan the flames by saying: "It would be better to check thoroughly, lest his precious son encounters any issues in the future and blames me for it"

I originally intended to continue frightening him, but seeing him trembling with fear, unable to utter a single word, I decided to let it go

When I got home, my legs were almost broken. As soon as I opened the door, I saw my father and that woman in the living room feeding Wen Shaoyan some fruit

At that time, I had already developed a rebellious character. Seeing that Wen Shaoyue was fine, I turned around and left the hospital—after all, no one was watching over me. I strolled back home at my own leisurely pace

I estimate that he is afraid I will tell that woman about his association with those thugs and ruffians

I have tried to ask her so many times, yet she always pretends not to hear and says nothing. As her good friend, I can only choose to remain silent. However, I have quietly made up my mind that whenever there is an opportunity to bring her and Yao Yizhou together, I will not let it slip by, and I will not allow Shen Xiaoyu to be unhappy

In fact, I have little experience in buying clothes, shoes, or bags, nor do I have any particular hobbies. Generally, I just wander around the streets casually, and if I see something that suits me, I will purchase it

Thinking of these past events, I cannot help but smile

The little thug is probably just posturing, a person who has never actually practiced. My simple self-defense move caused him to cry out in pain repeatedly

Later, I only remember that I barely fell asleep in the early hours of the morning. When I woke up, my face was covered with half-dried tear marks

The woman's wailing left the father somewhat at a loss, and he could only take the crying Wen Shaoye to the hospital

The local thug saw me blocking their way, put his hand to his mouth and whistled loudly, then spoke to Wen Shaoyue in a frivolous tone: "Who is this girl? Not bad! Can you introduce her to me?"

The doctor said with a calm expression, "The child is fine; he just lost a tooth. He is at the age for losing teeth."
