Insufficient balance

  With a "thud", the boy didn't know if he was tripped by something. He fell to the ground with a "plop". A swarm of bees, as if they had found their target, rushed up in unison.

  "Waaa... it hurts so much... Waaa... Big sister Ya Tou, save me... save me... Waaa..." The boy's curly body kept trembling as he begged the girl for help. The scene was heart-wrenching and brought tears to the eyes of onlookers. Unfortunately, his plea for help was misdirected.

  The girl heard the boy's mournful cry so pitiful that she slowed down her running footsteps and turned around to look. Seeing the boy's miserable state, a fierce struggle arose in her heart.

  The girl seemed to hear a kind self saying, "That's the brother who has always trusted you unconditionally, how can you betray his expectations and abandon him to run away alone?"

  Suddenly, the girl heard a more seductive voice saying: "Girl, take a look at Xiaofeng's face. The swelling all over his face was caused by being stung by these bees. Do you want your own face to become like that?"

  The girl's hands, which were covering her face, unconsciously touched her smooth cheeks. Then she imagined herself rushing to help the boy and shuddered at the thought, immediately erasing the image from her mind.

  It seems that no matter where, what age, women are born with a loving care for their face, with the nature of being able to ruin anything but not their face. The tragic ending of the boy seems to be foreseeable already.

  The kind voice said again: "How can you only think of yourself and ignore Xiaofeng's..."

  Before the kind words were finished, the tempting voice said: "Director Xiao Xiu has said that the bees in this backyard are non-toxic. It will hurt for a while, swell up for a while, and it will be fine after a few days."

  That's right, the bees in the back mountain are non-toxic, Xiaofeng will be fine, it just hurts a bit. At this time, boys should yield to girls and make concessions, yeah, that's absolutely right.

  The girl didn't know what kind of spirit "die for a friend, not die for poverty" was, but inadvertently played out this spirit thoroughly. The rational side instantly overwhelmed the emotional side.

  "Xiao Feng, don't worry, it'll be fine. Dean Xiao said that the bees in the back mountain are non-toxic, just bear with it for a bit." The girl shouted to the boy before starting to run again, and soon disappeared from sight.

  The scene was left with only the boy and his "Woo... it hurts so much... Woo... my elder sister, save me..." cries for help. What he didn't know was that the one he was crying out to had long since fled, poor kid.

  After a long time, the sun had slanted to the west, and the arrival of dusk dyed the mountains and forests with a piece of golden color.

  The girl returned to the "scene of the crime" again, shouting at a swollen creature lying on the ground: "Xiao Feng, sister is here to pick you up, are you okay?"

  The swollen creature seems to be unresponsive.

  ……

  "Xiao Feng... Xiao Feng... Hey, Zheng Feng, aren't you going to respond to me if you're not dead yet?" The girl walked over to Zheng Feng's side and poked the swollen area on his body with her finger.

  It was probably due to the pain that Zheng Feng finally reacted. He forcibly opened his eyes, and a thin line slowly emerged. His face had long since become unrecognizable, swollen beyond recognition.

  "Waaah... it hurts so much... Sister Yaotou, you deceived me. You said we were coming to eat sugar, but there wasn't any sugar at all! They were all bees and they stung me, ouch! Waaah... it hurts."

  Perhaps it was the movement of speaking that stirred up the pain on the edge of his mouth, and his numb face felt painful once again.

  After hearing Zheng Feng's complaint, Ya Tou showed no remorse on her face, but instead argued: "Don't you think about it, who was it that cried and shouted to eat sugar in the first place? Who was clumsy and got in the way, I had already succeeded, but you went and poked your nose into the beehive, can this still be blamed on me?"

  As she spoke, the girl still felt quite wronged, her tone was as if she were the victim, and Zheng Feng seemed to have done something heinous to her.

  It was originally her who abandoned Zheng Feng and ran away alone, but she was pushed to the point of being completely clean. She didn't mention the fact that she had run away without any "brotherhood" at all. She kept talking about her grievances. It seems that the girl had already thought of a countermeasure before returning to the "scene".

  Zheng Feng heard Ya Tou say this, and he also felt that he had done something wrong, so he said: "Ya Tou sister, I'm sorry." He didn't think at all about how he was ruthlessly abandoned as bait.

  It all started when, the day before yesterday, Zheng Feng and Ya Tou helped Xiao Xiuyuan take some bread back to the orphanage from the market. When they passed by a group of children playing beside the market, Zheng Feng inadvertently heard them mention something called "candy" that seemed very delicious.

  Zheng Feng grew up in an orphanage since he was a child, where there were no opportunities to eat candies, and his heart was both curious and envious. On the second day after returning to the orphanage, he cried out to his ayi (aunt) who had been taking care of him, wanting to eat candies.

  When Yatou heard Zheng Feng's words, she thought of a way after turning her eyes. It turned out that Yatou knew there was a beehive on a tree in the back mountain, and before coming to the orphanage, she had gone with her companions to steal honey, so she naturally knew the taste of honey was as delicious as sugar. Today, she took Zheng Feng to steal honey.

  Originally, Ya Tou went through a series of careful movements and finally got a small piece of honey. Zheng Feng on the side did not understand why his sister Ya Tou wanted to do this. This small piece of honey later fell into Zheng Feng's mouth.

  The delicious honey made Zheng Feng's eyes shine brightly.

  Then, with those eyes full of "lust", he stared at the beehive on the tree, and somehow found a branch to throw at it. The whole series of actions happened so fast that even Liao's head couldn't react in time, and by the time he wanted to stop him, it was already too late.

  To say nothing of others, Zheng Feng's skill in throwing things is quite impressive.

  Bang! Right on target, "Red Heart"!

  The beehive fell to the ground with a "thud".

  Zheng Feng was just about to go forward to get the honey. As a result, Liao Tou shouted "Run quickly!" and turned around to escape, as the most loyal little follower of his sister, he naturally also started running.

  Then...

  Then there was this scene.

  "Alright, I'll forgive you this time. You must be in a lot of pain now, come on, I'll carry you to find Dean Xiao Xiuyuan, the dean will definitely have a way."

  After finishing speaking, the girl squatted down and put Zheng Feng on her shoulders.

  Yaotou is already over nine years old, and her physical strength and beast soul power are much higher than those of ordinary children of the same age. As long as she passes this year's ten-year-old beast soul power test, she will definitely be valued and trained by the empire. Compared to five-year-old Zheng Feng, she looks like a little adult, and carrying him on her back doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.

  "Hmm." Zheng Feng was delighted that his sister had so easily accepted him, and he leaned his chin on her right shoulder. He didn't notice that in the instant she turned her back to him, a sly smile spread across her face.

  "Is honey delicious?" Yatou asked Zheng Feng on his back.

  "Ah, so sweet and delicious." This made Zheng Feng recall the taste of that honey.

  "Hehe, next time, want to or not, sister will bring you here to eat honey again?" Looking at Zheng Feng's face which was stung by bees until it became swollen like a pig's head, she couldn't help but laugh.

  As soon as he mentioned eating honey again, Zheng Feng thought of the delicious taste of honey, but more so the feeling that still made his whole body ache to this day. He shook his head vigorously and said, "I don't want to eat it anymore."

  The girl slowly walked towards the orphanage with Zheng Feng on her back, casting a long shadow in the dusk.
