Ye Qian Qian looked at the mer in front of her and puffed her cheeks. "What do you mean by 'What's the matter? I heard from my mother that you refused to go to the evening hunt. Is it true?"
"It's true." Ruan Zeqiu didn't hide anything from Ye Qian Qian. Anyway, this was not something that he needed to hide. Sooner or later, the entire tribe would know that he refused to go on the hunt and with how vengeful Elder Ou was, she would surely create a theory that would make everyone hate him.
When Ye Qian Qian heard that Ruan Zeqiu truly didn't want to go to the hunt, she was surprised. She blinked her eyes and questioned, "Ruan Zeqiu, have you lost your mind? You know that if you don't go hunting, then you will surely starve to death."
She thought that Ruan Zeqiu was going crazy; even if he had some qualms against Elder Ou, he couldn't punish himself like this. Since Ruan Zeqiu didn't want to go on a hunt, he would naturally give all his meat to Ruan Chanchan from his first hunt.
Then what would he eat?
At the same time, she could not help but blame Ruan Chanchan, since that woman was a fool; why didn't she die? If she had died by now, then Ruan Zeqiu wouldn't be dragged down by her.
When she thought about this, she couldn't help but glare at Ruan Chanchan.
Ruan Chanchan: "..."
Sister, your actions of chasing mer will never come to fruition like this, you know?
Sure enough, when Ruan Zeqiu saw that Ye Qian Qian was glaring at his sister, he was filled with anger. He stepped in front of Ruan Chanchan and blocked Ye Qian Qian's sight before saying, "Why should I go to hunt? I am going to starve to death anyway! They want me to go on extra hunts but refuse to give me extra meat."
He raised his voice such that everyone could listen to why he stopped going on extra hunts lest someone come to bully Ruan Chanchan.
"Ye Qian Qian, we are friends, but you should still look into the cause and action. My sister and I are orphans; we have no one to look after us, and we can only look after one another. My sister is not in the right state of her mind, but she is getting better. Sooner or later, she will get better and take care of me."
"As her only family member, I need to care for her till then. I am willing to do anything for her, but some people think that it's fun to bully us orphans!"
As he finished speaking, he glared at Nian Zhi, who had returned from the collection hunt.
When Nian Zhi saw him glare, he lowered his head and then headed to his cave, as he was worried that Ruan Zeqiu would goad Ye Qian Qian into hating him even more.
Just because he liked to sow discord, he looked at others with the same gaze.
"Is he the one who caused trouble for you?" Ye Qian Qian turned her head and looked at Nian Zhi with a glare. Even though Nian Zhi couldn't see Ye Qian Qian glaring at him, he sensed that there was something wrong. He picked up his pace and ran to his cave.
Seeing him run like a coward, Ye Qian Qian snorted. She turned to look at Ruan Zeqiu and asked, "Do you want me to teach a lesson to him?"
"I can do that on my own if I want to," Ruan Zeqiu rolled his eyes. Did Ye Qian Qian think that he was not capable of dealing with that mer? He was. But he was worried that Nian Zhi would bully his sister when he was gone.
Ye Qian Qian also knew that he was worried about Ruan Chanchan, and her dissatisfaction with Ruan Chanchan grew even more.
Of course, Ruan Chanchan noticed that the woman didn't like her. She felt her lips twitch and decided to teach this young girl a lesson. She couldn't deal with those elders because they were too powerful, but could she not deal with this young brat?
[Darling, teach that brat a lesson! She is glaring at us for so long; she is bad! ]
The childish system also didn't like Ye Qian Qian. How could he? He was responsible for protecting Ruan Chanchan, and the young woman was glaring at her for so long. The person who didn't like his host, he wouldn't like her too.
Ruan Chanchan was quite surprised when she saw that the system was protecting her, but at the same time, she was quite happy. As it was her first time feeling the warmth of someone protecting her. Maybe because she didn't care for or respect her first family, Ruan Chanchan was abandoned in each life.
No one liked her, and no one protected her.
True, Ruan Zeqiu protected her, but he was protecting his sister. While the system was protecting the real Ruan Chanchan.
She suppressed the curl of her lips and whimpered softly, "So fierce."
As soon as she spoke, Ruan Zeqiu whipped his head and looked at Ye Qian Qian, who was so shocked by Ruan Chanchan's actions of filing a complaint that she didn't even get a chance to change her expression. Thus, Ruan Zeqiu caught her in the act.
"Good, good!" Ruan Zeqiu was so angry when he caught Ye Qian Qian glaring at his sister. "Ye Qian Qian, I never thought that you, as my friend, would do such a thing. You actually glared at my sister behind my back!"
"No, listen to me, Zeqiu." Ye Qian Qian went pale at once. She liked Ruan Zeqiu and wanted to imprint on him.
She never tried to make a move on him, but she had watched Ruan Zeqiu refuse many young women who wanted to mate with him, and he refused to get close to any woman as well.
She was the only one whom he befriended, but he told her that he would not mate with anyone because his sister was relying on him.
Because of this, she was just a bit dissatisfied with Ruan Chanchan and glared at her a few times. Nothing had ever happened, but now Ruan Chanchan actually learned how to file a complaint?
