Liang Youxiao was stunned.
His friend had gotten bolder.
He asked, "You want to beat him up too?"
Xi Rui thought for a moment and said snappily, "What are you thinking about? How would I have the guts to?"
He continued, "I've decided to run away from home. When my grandmother comes back from offering incense at the temple, she will know that my father had beaten me up and caused me to run away from home. There will be good repercussions for him. Hmph."
Liang Youxiao uttered under his breath, I'm learning from you.
He touched his chin. "Then I'll run away with you too."
He had recently coaxed his grandmother and mother until they were very happy.
This time, he had to run away from home because his father had forced him to.
Let's see how his father will explain this. Hmph.
Xi Rui smiled and put his arm around his shoulder. "As expected from my brother. Let's go together!"
