A stream of blood flowed down from his forehead like a worm, along the eyes, chin and dripped onto his clothes, white sneakers. Bai Yang seemed to have no sensation at all. The other kids were completely scared, running away in all directions, shouting for adults.
Kai Yang still held the toy he had snatched, his eyes narrowed to a slit. He actually wanted to open his eyes wide and take a good look at the "murderer" who was slowly approaching, but the thick blood mixed with his eyes made them half-open and half-closed.
Tong Jing didnt seem to care that she had been pushed, and instead immediately went to check on her little brother. She helped the little boy, Tong Yao, who was lying on the ground, up to his feet, and gently patted the dust off his clothes. With concern etched on her face, she asked, "Little Yao, are you hurt anywhere?" Her eyes, filled with worry, shone like still water, yet also seemed to hold a deep, turbulent sea. Her bright red lips opened and closed as she spoke, and her long, black hair cascaded down her shoulders, with a few stray strands framing her face.
It turned out to be Tong Jing, the most beautiful girl in their compound. Bai Yang had always thought of her as a foreigner because she didnt look like any Chinese person he knew, so he never spoke to her and thought they were from different worlds. Tong Jing was a "foreign devil", but little Bai Yang couldnt help but think that this doll-like girl was really beautiful. Actually, he just hadnt had the chance to interact with Tong Jing before, and now that he was looking at her up close, her dark blue eyes made his heart skip a beat, and he even forgot that his forehead was still bleeding.
Tong Jing glanced at her brothers situation while slightly raising her head to look at Bai Yang. Dont think she was concerned about Bai Yangs injury, her eyes were filled with anger. Ever since she knew Bai Yang, she had never had a good impression of him. Every time she saw him, he was always in a dirty state after playing, and several times she even saw him fighting with other boys in the yard. So she would never take the initiative to provoke Bai Yang. A boundary line was drawn very clearly: he was a bad kid, and she absolutely wouldnt play with bad kids.
Ke Bao Yang, this stubborn thing, how can he be beaten by someone without fighting back? Its only his privilege to bully others, when has he ever been bullied?! And its a girl, now all the kids in the school will laugh at him! So Ke Bao Yang picks up the stone that was just thrown at him, ready to throw it back, but somehow cant bring himself to do it!
Tong Jing, the fearless one, saw Bo Yang holding a stone and aiming at her, but she didnt run or hide. Instead, she had a "go all out" attitude, determined to "die together" with Bo Yang today. Moreover, in her heart, a sense of justice was burning, wanting to eliminate evil, get rid of the "evil" that is Bo Yang.
So when the adults rushed over, they saw such a dramatic scene: Bo Yangs face was covered in blood, but he still held a stone in his hand; Tong Jing protected Tong Yao, with a look of desperation. The parents on both sides were worried to death, fearing that someone would be killed if things continued like this.
Bo Yangs mother quickly wrapped her arms around her son, covering the bleeding wound on his forehead with a towel in her hand. Her heart ached at the sight of her injured child. When had she ever seen him hurt like this? That crazy girl from the Tong family was to blame for this! She had actually hit Bo Yangs head with a rock! If he ended up with any lasting damage, she would never forgive the Tongs!
The Tongs were also frightened and feared that Bai Yang would hurt their daughter and son, so they quickly picked up Tong Jing and Tong Yao and flashed to the side.
This move made the Bai family very uncomfortable. How is it now that your child from the Tong family has injured our child, and instead of apologizing, you think our child will harm yours? Is this reasonable?!
Bas mother stood up in extreme anger, her face cold as she stared at Tong Jun without saying a word.
Mr. and Mrs. Tong were of course aware that in this compound, anyone could be offended, but the Bai family was not to be trifled with. However, at the time, they werent really afraid that their child would get into trouble, so without considering the other partys feelings, they protected their own child. Emotionally and rationally, it was indeed Tong Jing who overreacted a bit, so this matter should be dropped quickly, and an apology should be made.
"Im sorry, Im sorry, its indeed our childs fault for being reckless. We will cover all the medical expenses and also pay a compensation!" Mr. Tong said with a apologetic face, without any intention of blaming Tong Jing at all, not even pretending to do so.
You cant say, this Tong Jun in the Tong family is well-liked by everyone, from Grandpa Tong to Grandma Tong, they all love her dearly. Shes obedient and sensible, and whats more, shes the lucky star of the Tong family. In the past, Mrs. Tong suffered from infertility and couldnt give birth to a child no matter how hard she tried, which made Mrs. Tong anxious, and the whole Tong family was worried that their lineage would come to an end.
That day, Old Lady Tung went to Lingyin Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, wanting to pray for a child for the Tung family. She also drew a divination slip and asked a high monk to interpret it. After reading the slip, the monk said that if they wanted to have a child, they must first adopt a girl. Heaven would see their kind hearts and grant them a child.
The old lady listened and thought it made sense, so she went back and told her son and daughter-in-law to go to the orphanage to adopt a little girl. The son and daughter-in-law thought about it and agreed that since they couldnt have children of their own, they might as well adopt one from the orphanage.
It can be said that Tóng Jǐng has a good affinity with the Tóng family. At first glance, both Mr. and Mrs. Tóng took a liking to this child. On one hand, Tóng Jǐng looks different from others, his appearance is really likable. On the other hand, hes still small, only three years old, so he wont have psychological barriers like older kids do, nor will he be as fussy and cry all the time like those younger ones. His age is just right, not too young or too old, and he adapts quickly to new environments without rejecting his new family members.
Without any hesitation, the two decided to adopt Tong Jun. Strangely enough, heaven really opened its eyes, and soon someone introduced an American doctor specializing in infertility treatment to the Tong family. After flying to America for surgery and a year of recuperation, Mrs. Tong became pregnant with a boy in the second year. Thank goodness, the Tong family finally had an heir! From then on, Grandma Tong treated Tong Jun like a lucky star, but it wasnt just Grandma Tong - Grandpa Tong, Father Tong, and Mother Tong all treated Tong Jun like a lucky star too. So, the Tong family spoiled Tong Jun, treating her as if she were their own biological daughter.
You want Uncle Tong to scold Tong Jing, how is that possible? They now only think of taking responsibility for this matter themselves and absolutely wont let their daughter suffer even a bit.
Mrs. Bai still didnt speak, the Tongs apologized, and she felt a bit more at ease, but our familys treasure was smashed, I couldnt swallow this breath, my heart felt stifled, but what could I do? The Tongs influence in Hangzhou was also clear to her, if things really got ugly, it wouldnt be good for the Bais either, after all, they were from Beijing, their power and influence were all in Beijing, a strong dragon may not necessarily overpower a local snake.
"After some thought, I finally spoke up: Alright, I accept your conditions. However, when you go back, make sure to educate your children properly and teach them not to throw stones randomly, do they know that it can kill people?!"
After finishing, I didnt even bother to look at the Tong familys reaction, and picked up my son to go to the hospital for a check-up. But unexpectedly, my son pointed at Tong Jing with his small hand and shouted loudly, "She also has to go to the hospital, she has to accompany me to the hospital——"
Heh, everyone thinks that Bo Yang is holding a grudge and wont let Tong Jun off, but they dont know that this little Bo Yang has taken a liking to Tong Jun.
