    Loves Balance

    Whose voice is that?

    Qin Zigui?

    Doesn’t sound like it.

    Huang Mao?

    Really disgusting.

    Then who else could it be?

    Hold? !

    Sheng Yan finally reacted, and from the complex gazes of Qin Zigui and the gang of Huang Mao, he realized that his dignified status as the school bully had just been caught meowing.

    A strong sense of shame surged to his forehead in an instant, and his ears turned visibly red.

    But years of experience as a leader in the Nanwu Xiacheng District quickly calmed him down. He decided to take the initiative, seize the opportunity, stood up, raised an eyebrow, and questioned Qin Zigui, “What are you doing here?”

    Without waiting for Qin Zigui to answer, he turned to the unlucky people in the corner and said impatiently, “What are you guys doing here?”

    Huang Mao and his friends were just beaten, dazed, then meowed at, and hadn’t figured out what was going on. They were even more confused when questioned, and Huang Mao asked hesitantly, “Isn’t thisā€¦ our school’s back gate?”

    Sheng Yan: “ā€¦”

    It seems so.

    So why would Qin Zigui be at the vocational school’s back gate?

    Sheng Yan turned to Qin Zigui again, his eyebrows raised.

    Qin Zigui casually put his injured right hand back into his pocket and answered nonchalantly, “On the way to the training class, I happened to run into them and got into a bit of a conflict.”

    So he was just walking on his way to find Lin Qian, and suddenly he was dragged into an alley and beaten up by this person, Huang Mao: “?”

    Is that what happened?

    Just as he was about to voice his doubts, he met Qin Zigu’s cold gaze again. He hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded, “Yes, yes.”

    Sheng Yan furrowed his brow and asked Qin Zigui again, “What about last night?”

    He didn’t specify what happened last night, but both of them knew.

    Qin Zigui remained calm: “Last night, I happened to pass by the entrance of the Internet cafe, heard them saying some unpleasant things, tried to stop them, and got into a bit of a conflict. Nothing major.”

    Yesterday evening he was just minding his own business online, and suddenly he was called out and beaten up.

    Huang Mao: “??”

    Is that what happened too?

    Then he met Qin Zigu’s cold gaze again and could only nod quickly once more: “Yes, yes.”

    After hearing these two responses, Sheng Yan had already imagined a scene where Qin Zigui accidentally offended this group of people last night and was harassed by them repeatedly.

    Thinking about Qin Zigu’s injury again, his brows furrowed even more deeply. He squatted down, aimed at Huang Mao’s head, and gave him a slap: “Do you know who he is? How dare you pick a fight with him? Did you not get enough beating yesterday, so you want another one today?”

    Huang Mao, who had been beaten three times in two days: “???”

    No, ah! He has suffered enough!

    And when did he ever bother them?!

    It’s obviously Qin Zigui who has come to trouble them for two days in a row, okay?

    The key was that this guy was mocking him! Before beating someone, he would calmly roll up his sleeves and take a look at you, which made you burn with anger and unable to control yourself. When you wanted to tear apart his pretentious aura, he would raise his long legs with ease, knock you down directly, and then systematically hit the places that didn’t seem to hurt but actually hurt a lot, without any unnecessary movements.

    Throughout the whole process, he didn’t show any expression, as if outnumbering others was an easy and numb thing to do, making him the ultimate show-off.

    And they were the ones bothering him?

    After being a delinquent for so many years, Huang Mao couldn’t recall being so wronged, so he couldn’t help but cry out aggrievedly, “Who’s bothering him! The few of us were beaten like this, and you say we’re bothering him? Do you know this guyā€¦”

    As Huang Mao spoke excitedly, he released his hands from his head and intended to lift his shirt to show Sheng Yan the bruises on his body. However, just as he moved, he accidentally met the cold gaze of the person behind Sheng Yan again.

    So he stiffened for a moment, remembering the fear of being pinched by the neck and slammed against the wall by the opponent, and silently put his hands back on the back of his head, squatting down obediently. “I’m sorry, my bad, I won’t dare anymore. So who exactly is he to you?”

    How could it be so terrifying!

    Sheng Yan didn’t know what Qin Zigui had done behind his back, he just thought that Huang Mao was scared of him, so he didn’t think much about it. Instead, he was relieved that Qin Zigui understood things.

    Yes, who is Qin Zigui?

    Neighbor? classmate? Rivals who dislike each other?

    It seems that no one has the identity that allows him to say this.
    Then he thought of the wish he made today and quickly regained his composure, pretending to be calm and cool: “He’s my little brother.”

    Huang Mao: “???”

    Such a terrifying person can be someone else’s little brother?!

    He looked at Qin Zigui with disbelief in his eyes.

    Qin Zigu, with his hands in his pockets, leaned against the wall and nodded slightly, “Yeah, I’m his little brother.”

    Huang Mao: “ā€¦!”

    How could this be happening!

    Such a terrifying person could be Sheng Yan’s little brother, which meant that Sheng Yan must have some extraordinary qualities that they didn’t know about, which means that Sheng Yan’s behavior towards them might have been restrained, and his actual strength might far exceed their imagination.

    The gaze of Huang Mao and his group towards Sheng Yan suddenly became awe-stricken and shocked.

    And Sheng Yan, who was worried that Qin Zigui wouldn’t give him a face, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

    Fortunately, Qin Zigui is somewhat sensible.

    So it seems that the wish system is somewhat useful?

    Sheng Yan was satisfied, raised his eyebrows, stood up, hooked the strap of his school bag, lowered his eyelids, looked down at Huang Mao, and said angrily, “Spill it out, specifically, what did you do wrong.”

    His double eyelids were extremely deep, and when his eyelids drooped, they stretched out a thin strip, which contrasted with the naturally upturned ends of his eyes, giving him a sense of arrogance and fearlessness.

    Thinking again that this was still a state of hiding his strength, Huang Mao answered directly without saying a word: “You shouldn’t disrespect girls, you shouldn’t harass girls, you shouldn’t force girls, you shouldn’t say dirty words to girls, and you shouldn’t touch them. Donā€™t bother someone you shouldnā€™t touch.ā€

    “Someone you shouldn’t touch?”

    The first few sentences were pretty decent, but the last sentence made Sheng Yan feel a little off.

    However, Huang Mao thought that Sheng Yan was dissatisfied with his answer, and quickly explained, “I only listened to Qin Ge, he’s the one who taught me this.”

    “He taught you?”

    Sheng Yan furrowed his browā€¦

    Huang Mao was so frightened that he nodded immediately: “Yes, yes, Qin Ge’s original words, ‘I beat you today, for no other reason than because you touched someone you shouldn’t touch.’ That’s what he said when he came to beat me yesterday.”

    Huang Mao was so focused on admitting his mistake and apologizing to Sheng Yan that he answered so sincerely and panicked that he temporarily forgot to look at Qin Zigui’s eyes.

    So after hearing this, Sheng Yan frowned even deeper: “Why did he come to beat you? Didn’t he just pass by yesterday and found you?”

    After admitting his mistake, Huang Mao, who was in high spirits, got stuck on the spot.

    Sheng Yan turned to look at Qin Zigui.

    Qin Zigui lowered his eyelids to cover his eyes.

    So is this deceit?

    If Huang Mao hadn’t said anything, Qin Zigui still planned to fool him?

    But if Qin Zigui took the initiative to beat up Huang Mao last night, just tell him directly. It’s not a shameful thing. Why hide it from him? He won’tā€¦

    In the flash of lightning, Sheng Yan suddenly felt something stringing together.

    Qin Zigui was embarrassed because Lin Xian gave him a band-aid while on duty last night.

    After hearing that the group of people from the vocational high school had caused trouble for Lin Xian, he immediately left school and skipped the competition class.

    Then he guessed that given his character, he would definitely go to Huang Mao and the others to settle accounts again, so he squatted outside the wall and threatened himself with a fake duty book to prevent him from going to them.

    In order to completely make these men give up, Qin Zigui went to the back door of the vocational high school to beat them again today.

    For all of these things want to be reasonable, there can only be one reasonā€”ā€”

    Qin Zigui likes Lin Xian.

    That’s why he was jealous when he saw her giving him a band-aid.

    That’s why he went to Huang Mao when he heard that she was bullied.

    That’s why they say Huang Mao and the others touched someone they shouldn’t.

    That’s why he tried every means to prevent them from helping Lin Xian, because he was his biggest love rival.

    Qin Zigui is a model student who never violates school rules and regulations, but he actually skipped class and got into fights twice. What is this if not love?

    No wonder he fell out with him after Lin Xian confessed to him on his birthday last year.

    It seemed that Gou You and the others were right. Qin Zigui just liked Lin Xian.

    But the girl you like is important, but the brother you have grown up with for more than ten years is not important? !

    The more than ten years of brotherly love he had with him just went to waste? !

    Are you nothing in his eyes? !

    The more Sheng Yan thought about it, the angrier he became. He was so angry that he couldn’t hold it back. He grabbed Qin Zigui’s collar, threw him against the wall, raised his fist and wanted to punch him hard.

    However, when the fist reached Qin Zigui, it stopped abruptly. His knuckles turned white when he pinched them, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged out. It was obvious that he had restrained a lot of strength. In the end, he refused to bow down and gritted his teeth and said: “Qin Zigui, I donā€™t like Lin Xian! I have nothing to do with her!ā€

    Qin Zigui didn’t avoid it, just looked at him and said calmly: “Yes, I know.”

    “You know?” Hearing this answer, Sheng Yan was stunned for a moment, and then became even more angry, “You fucking know that I don’t like her, and you still want to break up with me? Are you sick?”

    After the words fell, Huang Mao, who had been squatting silently next to him, cautiously opened his mouth: “Thatā€¦”

    “That bastard! Shut up!” Sheng Yan didn’t even look back and continued to angrily question Qin Zigui, “Since you know that I don’t like her, what do you mean by falling out with me?”

    Without waiting for Qin Zigui’s reply, Huang Mao cautiously spoke again: “Um, Sheng Yanā€¦”

    “I told you to shut up, don’t you understand?” Sheng Yan still didn’t look back, just looked at Qin Zigui, his voice was shaking with anger, “Qin Zigui, please tell me clearly today Oh, how did I, Sheng Yan, offend you? As long as you tell me clearly, I promise not to say any more nonsense to you from now on!”

    “thatā€¦ā€¦”

    Huang Mao spoke again.

    Sheng Yan finally became completely impatient and turned around: “Didn’t you see that we are talking about business here? Can you stop fā€¦”

    Sheng Yan was halfway through cursing when his head suddenly got stuck when it turned ninety degrees.

    Because he saw at the end of the alley in this direction, a round and plump figure rushing towards him angrily, accompanied by a breathless roar from a middle-aged man: “Sheng Yan! I knew it! You are fighting here again!!! “

    Damn it? !

    Why is the weasel here?

    If he is caught, he will be forced to stand for a night of self-study and run ten laps on the playground? !

    The fear of being arrested by Weasel on the spot temporarily outweighed the anger towards Qin Zigui, and Sheng Yan immediately stayed on the spot.

    The next second, the schoolbag on his shoulder was taken by someone, and then his wrist was grabbed, and then he heard a low voice: “Run quickly.”

    So before his brain could react, his instinct had already habitually followed the owner of the voice and ran into the hot and dull alley in the summer twilight without looking back.

    When the hot wind carrying the smell of evening fireworks blew past his face, for some reason, Sheng Yan suddenly remembered his childhood.

    At that time, Qin Zigui had just moved back to Nanwu with Qin Ru.

    He is good-looking, quiet, smart, and clean. The teachers and little girls in the kindergarten all like him. However, he doesn’t like to talk and always has a straight face, so the little boys in the kindergarten especially hate him.

    They always formed a gang to bully Qin Zigui, soiling his clothes, hiding his lunch boxes, and spitting in front of him, saying that he was a bastard who had no parents and that he couldn’t speak.

    But Qin Zigui just listened, never spoke, never refuted, and never complained, so the boys kept pushing further and further.

    Until one day he was hit by someone. Then, Sheng Yan, who was one day short of turning five years old at that time, was so angry that he sprinted up with his short legs and knocked down the Fat Hu in the lead. He chewed on his arm desperately.

    But how could he, a middle class kid, defeat a group of senior class kids? In the end, Qin Zigui rushed up and pushed all the others away, picked up Sheng Yan and rushed out, saving him.

    That day, they also ran for a long time in the hot and dreary alleys in the Nanwu summer twilight before they finally got rid of those hateful bad kids. So Sheng Yan’s birthday wish that year was to hope that the Fat Hu would fall.

    As a result, the Fat Hu was really unlucky the next day. With a bruised nose and a swollen face, he came crying and promised Sheng Yan that he would never bully him or Qin Zigui again.

    From then on, Qin Zigui, who had always been unwilling to get close to others, began to wait for him to go to school together every day, almost never leaving him.

    Later, in elementary school, when Qin Zigui had to take a year off for some reasons, he just said it didn’t matter, because then he could be in the same class with him and protect himself.

    Sheng Yan has a good memory since he was a child, but he didn’t expect that he could remember things from his childhood so clearly.

    In fact, not everything is clear. About his father, about Ms. Xu at that time, and about many other things, they are all vague. What I can clearly remember is only the yard of the old house covered with green vines and rose flowers, what grandma and grandpa did. Fragrant food, and Qin Zigui who occupied almost his entire childhood.

    But what’s the use of remembering it.

    Qin Zigui is a big piece of garbage who has no sense of justice!

    When Sheng Yan pulled his thoughts out of his memories, they had already run back to the community. Sheng Yan shook off Qin Zigui’s hand: “Don’t touch me, get as far away from me as you can!”

    His voice was a little breathy when he spoke, his forehead was messy, and his face was slightly flushed.

    Qin Zigui was actually a bit tired, but he still noticed at first glance that Sheng Yan’s black T-shirt was soaked with sweat. He whispered, “Let’s talk about it at home. You go back and change your clothes first, so you don’t catch a cold.”

    “Mind your own business!” Sheng Yan was full of anger whenever he saw Qin Zigui now. He didn’t care what the other party said. As long as he looked fierce, it was enough.

    After venting his anger, he turned around to leave, but he heard an urgent voice from behind, “Qin Zigui, Sheng Yan, stop right there!”

    Turning around, he saw Qin Ru pushing open the glass door downstairs and walking out. Her usually gentle face was now filled with rare anger. Her long hair was hastily tied up, and she hadn’t even had time to put on makeup. It was obvious that she had rushed out.

    Sheng Yan froze in place, didn’t dare to take another step, lowered his head guiltily, and obediently said, “Aunt Qin.”

    Seeing him like this, Qin Ru’s anger dissipated by half. Helplessly, she glanced at them and said, “Come here, turn around.”

    So the most aloof and cold high-achieving student and the most fierce and brutal school bully obediently stood shoulder to shoulder at the entrance of the building and turned 360 degrees without saying a word.

    Okay, their arms and legs were still intact.

    Qin Ru finally breathed a sigh of relief and softened her expression. “As long as you’re not injured.”

    After saying that, she felt that she was being too gentle and not intimidating enough, so she immediately put on a stern face and said in her fiercest tone, “Do you know you’re supposed to come back? Do you know that your homeroom teacher came to me to complain? You explain to him what happened!”

    As she spoke, she took out her phone, and as soon as the call was connected, she immediately changed her gentle tone to a polite one. “Hey, Director Huang, hello, I’m Qin Zigui and Sheng Yan’s parents. Nothing serious, I just wanted to let you know that these two kids have been found. Sheng Yan took a sick leave this morning, but he hasn’t fully recovered yet. He probably got flustered when he saw you earlier, and now he’s getting a headache and feeling nauseous again. So Zigui brought him back. As for the fight, I haven’t asked yet. You can talk to them yourself.”

    Then she pressed the speakerphone button, held the phone in front of them, raised an eyebrow to indicate that she, as a parent, had done her duty.

    Then, the next second, there was an angry roar from the speaker, “Sheng Yan! You’re usually skipping classes, fighting, and not studying properly! And now you’re even leading Qin Zigui astray! Have you no respect for law anymore?!”

    “Who’s leading him astray.”

    Sheng Yan muttered.

    Although his voice wasn’t loud, after so many years as a homeroom teacher, Director Huang had ears as sharp as a fox.

    As soon as he heard this, he was furious, “It’s not you leading him astray, could it be him leading you astray? Do you know how many points you got in the final exam this time? 327! A new record low! It’s 147 points lower than the second-to-last! In all my years of teaching at Shiwai, I’ve never seen such low scores! And do you know how many points Qin Zigui got? 723! He’s first in the grade! If he’s leading you astray, I’ll cut off my head and kick it like a ball for you!”

    He rattled off a long list, even throwing in a bit of poetry.

    After roaring, he could even imagine the smoke of his righteous indignation.

    Then Qin Zigui said calmly, “Director Huang, it was indeed me who led Sheng Yan astray.”

    “?”

    Qin Zigui calmly stated, “I picked a fight with the vocational school students myself. Sheng Yan just happened to be coming out for dinner.”


    “???”

    Even through the screen, Director Huang’s head could be seen with three question marks floating above it.

    Qin Zigui remained calm and confident, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask the vocational school students, or contact their homeroom teacher.”

    “ā€¦”

    After Qin Zigu’s calm and confident words, the other end of the phone became unusually quiet.

    A brief pause.

    Huang Shuliang finally said: “I’m going to find out about the situation.”

    Director Huang finally spoke, his tone becoming very friendly, “Qin Zigu, it’s not that I don’t commend you for your bravery and sense of justice, but we don’t advocate for this kind of behavior. You’re a top student from a prestigious school, a future talent for Qingbei University. You must learn to protect yourself, understand?”

    Sheng Yan, who had been kicking stones with his head down, raised his eyebrows at this, “Wait a minute, Director, when I stood up for justice before, you didn’t say this to me.”

    “Do you still have the nerve!” Director Huang, who had just been friendly, instantly exploded, “Don’t think that just because you didn’t start the fight today, you’re off the hook! Were you absent from evening self-study? Did you run away when you saw me? Did you not wear the school uniform? Did you fall asleep in the exam and come last in the grade? How many school rules have you broken?! If you continue like this, you’ll become a danger to society, do you understand?!”

    Sheng Yan: “?”

    How come Qin Zigui is the hope of the future, and he becomes a danger to society?

    Before he could voice his question, Director Huang had already switched to a gentle and friendly tone, “Alright, since your intentions were good, and no harm was done, and it’s Sheng Yan’s birthday today, I’ll let you off the hook for now. Qin Zigui, you go to your competition class first, and write an 800-word self-criticism for tomorrow. Sheng Yan, you copy the school rules from beginning to end neatly. If you don’t finish it, come to my office tomorrow to continue. Understand?”

    Sheng Yan: “???”

    “Why did Qin Zigui only have to write an 800-word self-criticism, while I had to copy more than 10,000 words of student regulations? It was clearly him who was fighting.” Sheng Yan finally couldn’t help it anymore.

    Director Huang was unapologetic, “Because Qin Zigui is first in the grade, and you’re last!”

    With that, he hung up the phone.

    Along with Sheng Yan’s shattered teenage heart.

    He was really pissed off.

    First, the little kitten he had finally managed to find after waiting so long was lost again because of Qin Zigu’s trouble.

    Then he found out that Qin Zigui had given up all his ten years of brotherhood just because the girl he liked confessed to him.

    And now, he was caught red-handed by the dean and subjected to a blatant double standard.

    All sorts of bad things happened, and it was all because of Qin Zigui!

    he really doesn’t want to look at him again in his life!

    The more Sheng Yan thought about it, the angrier he became. He snatched back his school bag and pushed open the unit door without saying a word.

    Qin Zigui called from behind: “Sheng Yan.”

    He didn’t want to hear it, so he angrily said, “Go to your competition class and don’t fucking bother me.” He slammed the door and walked in without looking back.

    Qin Ru originally wanted to give some advice, but she had to pack up and go to a social gathering with Jiang Ping, so she just whispered to Qin Zigui: “Okay, I know you are good children and won’t do bad things, but Don’t do this next time, or I won’t help you speak in front of Director Huang. And you are the Gege, so you have to bring Xiao Yan something delicious when you come back from class. He is soft-hearted and easy to coax.”

    He is not easy to coax.

    Sheng Yan caught the last sentence with his ears and entered the elevator with a disgusted face.

    This time he was really angry, a very angry kind of anger, a kind of anger that no matter how delicious it was, it couldn’t be coaxed.

    Not to mention that Qin Zigui showed no regrets now, even if he immediately knelt on the ground and begged him to apologize, he would never forgive him.

    He had been a good brother sincerely for more than ten years, but in the end he didn’t take himself seriously at all, and his teachers and classmates were always partial to him.

    Why? !

    Sheng Yan returned to the room, locked the door, took out the huge cat pillow from the closet, took out a marker, wrote the three characters “Qin Zigui” on its butt, then threw it on the bed and gave it a good beating.

    As if he wanted to use all the energy that he was reluctant to use in the alley just now, he beat him harder and harder until the cotton on his butt was dented and could no longer bounce. Only then was he finally relieved. After losing his breath, he picked up his pajamas and entered the bathroom.

    After he finished taking a bath, chasing after each other, and enjoying Qin Zigui’s large bathtub with its own massage function and movie viewing function, he finally calmed down, wiped his hair slowly and returned to his room.

    He looked at his phone and saw it was almost ten o’clock.

    Why hasn’t Qin Zigui come back yet?

    Just as he was thinking about it, the door was knocked twice: “A-Yan.”

    “Go away!”

    The person outside the room paused slightly, and then said in a low voice: “I’ll copy the student handbook for you.”

    “No need, I don’t dare to delay our President Qin’s study time, otherwise we will actually lose a top scorer in the college entrance examination, and the weasel will eat me alive.”

    After Sheng Yan’s strange anger was over, there was really no sound outside the house.

    “?”

    Are you giving up now?

    Did you not agree to buy some delicious food to coax him back?

    He knew that he was not important at all in Qin Zigui’s heart!

    Sheng Yan angrily took out a broken notebook from the corner, opened the official website of Shiwai, downloaded the student handbook PDF file, held the pen hard, looked at the screen, and scratched hard on the notebook, trying to turn his grief and anger into strength, and let Qin Zigui knows what it means to be a man.

    However, he soon discovers that he may still be just a boy, not quite a man.

    Because when he was grassing so fast that his fingers began to cramp, when he looked at the progress, it was 30%.

    Sheng Yan threw away the pen, leaned back on his chair, and sighed.

    What kind of karma had he accumulated? Did he steal Qin Zigui’s wife in his past life? Why did his birthday turn out like this?

    Sheng Yan closed his eyes in despair.

    Then suddenly, he stopped.

    Wait a minute, birthday?

    Birthday!

    Sheng Yan picked up his phone and saw that it had just passed midnight. The Wish app had already sent a system message: “[Dear young master, the wish quota for this week has been refreshed. Come make a wish now~]”

    Sheng Yan didn’t hesitate: “[I hope when I wake up, all the school rules have been copied.]”

    Then he stared at the rotating white circle, nervously waiting.

    One circle, two circles, three circles.

    Wish approved.

    Sheng Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

    Whether it was a scam or not, anyway, he had nothing to lose. Worst case scenario, he’d spend the whole day in Director Huang’s office tomorrow.

    Thinking of this, he took the flowerpot and planted the daisy seeds.

    Next was to wait for the task.

    One second, two seconds, three seconds.

    Sheng Yan was still a little worried. After all, if he was assigned some illegal or impossible task, then this last hope would be gone.

    When the small mailbox next to the garden lit up with a “ding,” he couldn’t help but hold his breath, pursing his lips, extending a finger, and carefully pressing the “Accept Task” button on the screen.

    Then the next second, he froze.

    How could this app have such an inappropriate task?
