"No need!" Ruan Zeqiu didn't want to hear anything. He caught the woman in the act; what else did he need to see? He coldly stared at Ye Qian Qian and said to her, "Since you don't like Sister Chanchan, then you don't need to come here anymore."
"Zeqiu!" Ye Qian Qian was shocked. Just because of Ruan Chanchan's little complaint, Ruan Zeqiu was willing to break their friendship?
"Don't yell my name. It's noisy." Ruan Zeqiu frowned as he turned on his feet and headed inside the cave. Seeing this, Ye Qian Qian shackled his wrist and pulled him back. She said, "You cannot do this to me. We have been friends for so long; how can you break up with me?"
As she spoke, her eyes turned red. She truly liked Ruan Zeqiu. Even though so many mers tried to charm her up, she had never betrayed him because she knew that Ruan Zeqiu would never accept anything less than the position of the first mate.
Because of this, she had kept her body and mind clean even though her heat cycle had already started.
And now he was telling her that he no longer wanted to stay friends with her?
"So what if we have been friends for a long time?" Ruan Zeqiu questioned. "How are you any different from those who try to flatter me but bully my sister? Who hopes that she will die and I will be free of her responsibility? She might be a fool in your eyes, but she is my only family!"
After he finished speaking, he flicked Ye Qian Qian's hand off his own and walked inside the cave without looking back. He didn't care if Ye Qian Qian was hurt; his sister was also hurt by many, and no one cared about her.
Ruan Chanchan looked at Ye Qian Qian, who looked defeated and pursed her lips. She felt a bit guilty, as she didn't think that the matter would escalate like this, but when she thought about it, she didn't think that Ruan Zeqiu was wrong.
Unlike her, her predecessor was truly sick.
Who knows how much she must have suffered because of everyone looking at her with those disdainful glares? Staring at her as if she had done something wrong by just existing.
Ruan Chanchan was not a fool; thus, she didn't feel hurt by these glares and harsh words. But what about her predecessor? She was a fool in the true sense. With so many people bullying her left and right, she must have been truly scared, right?
Since that was the case, Ye Qian Qian deserved it. So what if she liked Ruan Zeqiu? So what if she was good to Ruan Zeqiu?
A woman who could not even respect Ruan Zeqiu's opinions and bullied the only family member who was important to Ruan Zeqiu did not deserve her good brother.
"Sister, are you okay?" Ruan Zeqiu crouched in front of Ruan Chanchan. He looked at her carefully, and when he saw that she was furrowing her brows, he turned to look behind him and snapped, "What are you waiting for? Go away!"
Ruan Zeqiu was not an ungrateful person. He remembered the smallest favour done to him and his sister by others. So, how could he forget the things that Ye Qian Qian had done for him? Not only did he remember each one of them, but he was also grateful for the things that Ye Qian Qian had done for him.
But that didn't mean that Ye Qian Qian could touch his bottom line. That was his sister. His biological sister. His only living family.
Ye Qian Qian's eyes turned red. She didn't want to leave, but she knew that if she stayed here anymore, she would only make Ruan Zeqiu more disgusted with herself. Thus, she pursed her lips and used her remaining pride to say, "We will talk once you have calmed down."
"We have nothing to talk about!" Ruan Zeqiu snapped as he picked up a small stone and hurled it at the entrance of his cave. Dare you to make fun of his sister! Dare you to glare at her!
When Ye Qian Qian saw how angry Ruan Zeqiu was, she couldn't help but panic. She had never seen him so angry before; what was more, Ruan Chanchan was an idiot. Never before this did Ruan Chanchan complain to Ruan Zeqiu; this was the reason why Ye Qian Qian was so bold when bullying and teasing Ruan Chanchan.
Who would have thought that she would be punished for her arrogance so soon?
Ye Qian Qian sighed and walked away.
If she had known that Ruan Chanchan would suddenly gain insight and learn how to complain, she wouldn't have glared at her.
When Ye Qian Qian returned to her cave, Wu Long had just finished feeding his youngest son. He raised his head and looked at his daughter, who had returned with a despondent look on her face and arched a brow.
"What's the matter?" He asked. "Did you have another fight with Zeqiu?"
Master Wu knew his daughter too well. She was simple and honest, and other than severe hunger pangs, the only person who could make her sigh like this was Ruan Zeqiu.
"Dad!" Ye Qian Qian cried. She rushed to her father and threw herself in his lap; she told him everything that happened in the cave where Ruan Zeqiu and Ruan Chanchan lived, and she said to him, "Tell me, isn't he too much? I accept that I made a mistake, but I just glared at that woman. Is there a need for Zeqiu to break our friendship over this? I don't think that he doesn't knows that I like him, but he still dared to push me away like that. It's too much!"
Once she finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at Wu Long, who sighed and poked her head with his fingers.
"You foolish girl, ah! What am I supposed to do with you?"
