Staring at Xi Yingyu, Feng Zhen smiled. Then he swatted down and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"

When she heard the question Feng Zhen asked, instead of responding to his question, she fearfully hid her face behind her brother.

The boy opened his eyes and said, "Sorry mister, But my sister isn't the bold type"

"Ahh!!! Please... Help me..." cried the middle-aged man while looking at the boy, when he saw that the boy has opened his eyes. He knew that Feng Zhen was merciless, and he couldn't reach out to him, so he had to try reaching out to the boy.

"Mister, I don't know what you did to him, but my sister and I can't watch this tragic scene" said the boy, as he cubbed his fist.

"Alright" said Feng Zhen. Instantly, the middle-aged man felt as though all those pain was all but a dream, then he sighed in relief before finally losing consciousness.

Feng Zhen then approached the middle-aged man and collect the bracelet, and then he handed the bracelet to the boy.

"Thank you, Mister" said the boy, as he bowed his head.

'Hmm! Such a humble boy, System check his status'

'Such tragic description. System, when I checked the status of Xi Yingyu why didn't you tell me she lives alone with her brother'

[ Ding! Responding to the host, due to the level of the system, only one of the most sensitive intel would be revealed to the host.]

'So the reason is because of the system's level ' thought Feng Zhen.

"Hah!" Feng Zhen sighed.

"Mister, follow me. I will lead you to the city gate" said Xi Shoukang as he held the hand of his sister.

"Boy, my name is not Mister, you can call me Feng" said Feng Zhen

"Apologies Mister Feng. My name is Shoukang, Xi Shoukang and my sister her is called Yingyu, Xi Yingyu"

"Shoukang, Yingyu, where are your parent" Feng Zhen asked.

"They are in their working sites" said Xi Shoukang

"Big Brother..." Xi Yingyu called.

"Shhh" said Xi Shoukang to Xi Yingyu indicating that she should be quiet.

When Feng Zhen heard what the boy said, he smiled and asked, "So where do they work"

"Uhmm, Maybe..." said Xi Shoukang, but before he could complete his sentence, Xi Yingyu interrupted.

"No, Big brother, you shouldn't lie. Mister Feng, the truth is that we were abandoned by our parents" Xi Yingyu spoke firmly, without any pitiful expression.

"Hahaha... I already knew that he was lying. Shoukang, you are a bad liar" said Feng Zhen as he gave Xi Shoukang a teasing smile.

"Sorry, Mister Feng" said Xi Shoukang with his head bowed, because he was ashamed of what Feng Zhen might say to him.

"You don't need to apologize, what you did wasn't wrong, in fact I admire you. As young as you are, you are doing your best to provide food for your sister and yourself. You have my admiration"

"Thank you, Mister Feng" said Xi Shoukang as his eyes grew misty.

*Sniff*

*Sniff*

"Hey-hey, don't call me Mister Feng, call me Big Brother, okay" said Feng Zhen as he patted Xi Shoukang on the head.

*Sniff*

*Sniff*

"Boohoo!!! Nobody has ever said that to me, boohoo!!!" Xi Shoukang started crying loudly.

"Big Brother, don't cry" said Xi Yingyu as her eyes grew misty, while consoling Xi Shoukang.

"Shoukang, You shouldn't cry. Very soon you would be a man, and you know that a man doesn't cry easily" said Feng Zhen.

In response to Feng Zhen, Shoukang nodded.

"Shoukang, Yingyu, Where do you live" Feng Zhen asked.

*Sniff*

*Sniff*

"Bi-Big brother Feng, w-we usually sleep in the street" said Xi Shoukang as he wiped the tears of his eyes.

[Ding! City guards approaching.....]

Suddenly, Feng Zhen received a notification.

"Shoukang, Yingyu, would you come with me, I promise I won't treat you bad" said Feng Zhen.

Looking at Feng Zhen, Xi Yingyu shook her head and said, "Big Brother, I don't trust Mister Feng"

"I promise I won't treat you bad" said Feng Zhen.

After a while of pondering, Xi Shoukang decide to trust Feng Zhen a little.

"Alright, but know this, I still don't trust you" said Xi Shoukang

"Okay" said Feng Zhen. Then he looked at Xi Yingyu and asked, "What about you?"

"I won't go with you. Big brother don't go with him, also I don't like this mean Mister Feng" said Xi Yingyu.

"Huh! How am I mean" Feng Zhen asked.

"When that big bad guy was crying, mean Mister Feng didn't do anything. Mister Feng is mean" said Xi Yingyu as she pouted.

"Yingyu, don't speak like that, it was Big brother Feng that helped us" said Xi Shoukang as he knocked Xi Yingyu on her head.

"Hahaha.... What a splendid sight to behold. Anyway, Yingyu would you follow me if I told you I could cure your night fever" said Feng Zhen.

When Xi Yingyu heard what Feng Zhen said, her eyes open wide in surprise.

"Big Brother Feng, How did you know Yingyu usually have night fever and how can you cure Yingyu" Shoukang asked anxiously.

[ Ding! City guards approaching... 100 m]

"I will explain later, we have to leave this place now. The city guards are coming" said Feng Zhen.

"Okay" said Xi Shoukang. Then Xi Shoukang looked at Xi Yingyu in wait for her answer, in which she nodded in responded to his non-verbal question.

When Feng Zhen saw that Xi Yingyu nodded, he sighed in relief.

"Alright, you two come over" said Feng Zhen.

After some few seconds of delay, they approached Feng Zhen. Looking at the two kids, Feng Zhen smiled.

"Alright" said Feng Zhen, then he held the shoulder of the two kids.
