Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the end, the group of children ran away. It was unknown if they understood what she meant.

However, Su Ling could not care less. She looked at the vegetable basket not far away and jogged to get it. Then, she squatted down to wash it.

After a while, she saw someone beside her.

The young man’s movements were clumsy, but the cleaning was serious.

“Are you going to help me wash it?”

The young man said nothing. He just nodded.

Su Ling thought that he was afraid of those troublemakers, so she patted her chest righteously.

“Don’t be afraid. With me to protect you in the future, they won’t dare to bully you anymore!”

The young man looked over and remained silent when he saw her solemn expression.

After a while, the wild vegetables were washed and the little girl carried the basket home.

She found it strange that he kept following her.

“Why do you keep following me?”

Suddenly, she patted her head as if she had just realized something. “You live next door to me. I forgot.”

The young man looked at her. “Mm,” was all he said.

When they reached her courtyard, Su Ling put down the basket and found a place to carefully plant her flowers.

The flowers were a little limp from the sun. She hurried to water them, but the young man dissuaded her.

“You can’t water it now.”

Su Ling looked puzzled. “Why?”

The young man crouched down with her. “Watering is only done in the morning and at night. The sun is so bright now, it’ll die if you water it.”

Su Ling felt that it made sense, so she gave it up.

It was rare that no one was at home today, so Su Ling could not help but become bolder.

“Pretty Brother, can you play with me from now on?”

Zhao Yan looked at her and was about to agree when he suddenly said something else.

“You didn’t come to play with me before.”

Hearing his words, Su Ling instantly felt a little ashamed.

The first time she saw him, she called him Brother, but she did not look for him to play after that.

He had just arrived at Ancient Tree Village, so he definitely did not have any playmates.

And he had been bullied today.

The thought made her glance up at him.

He was so pitiful.

Zhao Yan sensed the sympathy in her eyes and turned his head slightly.

It was only a moment before he heard her promise.

“In the past, Father and Mother didn’t let me go out, but now they don’t watch me anymore. I’ll go and play with you often in the future.”

The young man nodded at that. But, thinking of her parents and brothers’ resistance to him, he wanted to leave first. As he stood up, however, she grabbed his sleeve.

“Pretty Brother, shall I take you to the mountains to pick wild fruits?”

When Zhao Yan heard her calling him brother, he guessed that she had forgotten his name.

He repeated his name.

“My name is Zhao Yan.”

Su Ling nodded in realization. “I’ll remember. Let’s go pick some wild fruits now!”

The young boy nodded, then watched her put the wild vegetables in the kitchen and set off again with the basket.

There were many wild fruits on the mountain that he could not name. Some of them were especially sour, but he felt that it was very novel, so he accompanied her for a long time. The small basket was quickly filled.

When the sky gradually darkened, Su Ling anxiously urged him to go down the mountain.

She could not let her parents discover that she had sneaked out.

And it was with Zhao Yan.

She jogged along, hurrying. When she finally reached her yard, she saw her parents and brothers waiting for her.

From the looks of it, Third Brother must have been beaten again.
