Rong Si watched with a hint of envy as his mother and Little Jiu hugged each other.
When he had met Little Jiu earlier, she hadn’t given him a hug!
However, if he had hugged her, he would probably have been beaten up by her father.
Although the neighborhood Rong Si lived in was quite average, it had one good thing about it. From the balcony, the beach and sea were visible in the distance. This was something one couldn’t experience in the capital.
From afar, they could see many white seagulls in the sky and many sailing ships on the sea. The beach was densely packed with people. Su Jiu turned to Rong Si with interest, “Big Brother, shall we go to the beach to play?”
“Okay.” Rong Si nodded.
As a responsible parent, Su Shengjing followed the two children to the beach. As a responsible host, Song Wanqiu also followed him and the children; she had specially applied for leave to accompany them.
Just as they reached the door, they suddenly heard a scream from an alley nearby.
Su Jiu curiously peeked around the corner and saw a figure around the little villain’s height fighting with two boys dressed like hooligans. His fists beat down ferociously, and the two hooligans could not overpower him. They were quickly beaten down.
A passing adult saw this scene and rushed forward to stop them. “Hey, what are you doing? Why are you fighting? Stop it!”
At the adult’s calls, the boy finally stopped. He stood up straight and disdainfully dusted his hands as if he had touched something dirty. Looking down at the two hooligans, he coldly said, “Get lost! Don’t let me see you again. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up every time I see you!”
Su Jiu was stunned.
Eh? This voice is too familiar, isn’t it?
When the boy turned his head, she gasped.
No way! Why is he here?
“Little Jiu!” Sheng Zhiyan had noticed Su Jiu. He ran toward her and greeted her with a smile, “I can’t believe I met you here. What a coincidence! Are you also here on holiday?”
Su Jiu managed to pull herself out of her shock and asked, “Sheng Zhiyan, why are you here? And why were you beating up those kids?”
Sheng Zhiyan cast a sidelong glance at the two boys who were running away and snorted. “Hmph! I was only beating them up because they deserved that! It was their own fault for badmouthing you!”
“Badmouthing me?” Su Jiu was a little surprised. “I don’t even know them.”
“Some people are just crude. They’re so crude that I can’t help but beat them up.” When Sheng Zhiyan had been in the area just now, he had heard the two boys say that they had seen a pretty girl enter the district today. Then they said that If her father hadn’t been by her side then, they would have approached her. The words they had used were dirty.
When Sheng Zhiyan had heard that, he had gotten furious and immediately rushed over to teach them a lesson.
He was sure that the two boys were talking about Little Jiu and her father. Su Jiu was just a little girl; even he could not bear to be fierce to her. How could they say such disgusting things about her?
He had to teach them a lesson!
Even though the fight was over, Sheng Zhiyan did not intend to tell Little Jiu what they had said, lest it polluted her ears.
Sheng Zhiyan stood in front of Su Jiu. He was taller than her by more than half a head and could easily touch her head. Patting her head, he brightly smiled. “Long time no see, Little Jiu. I missed you.. Did you miss me?”
