Beat You To Death

Xiao Mohan's eyes sank, and he did not respond to Chen Guang. The sun was shining brightly outside, but it did not appear to shine into his eyes.

Chen Guang was carefree and did not notice Xiao Mohan's expression change. While having tea, he talked with Xiao Mohan. Even though Xiao Mohan did not speak much, Chen Guang could still converse with him.

"What is the matter with your hand? Why was it so red?" Chen Guang cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Mohan's hand as he spoke. His finger joints were crimson as if they had been injured. He even had minor cuts on his skin. The red markings were more frightening because of Xiao Mohan's pale skin.

Xiao Mohan was taken aback and tucked his hands uncomfortably behind his back. Chen Guang guessed that he got them from hauling the luggage. When he helped carry the luggage, he chose the large pieces and left the tiny ones for them. He did not anticipate Xiao Mohan to scratch his palms and leave such a significant red mark while carrying a small suitcase.

Chen Guang could not stop thinking about Zhao Xier. Zhao Xier was the young master of a wealthy family, yet he was a difficult boy. On the other hand, that poor youngster, Xiao Mohan, had a delicate body. Those two were most likely the phony young masters switched at birth, right? Chen Guang could not help but giggle at himself at the thought.

Xiao Mohan was perplexed when he heard the laughs. Chen Guang motioned with his hand. "It is nothing. I'm just having fun. Please do not be concerned about me. Big Sister Ye, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave," he said, finishing the water in his cup in one swallow and shouting at Ye Zhen, who was helping Xiao Jiashu change his clothing in the room. "Please let me know if you require my assistance. Don't hesitate."

Ye Zhen hastily summoned Xiao Jiashu, who had changed into his pants, and sent Chen Guang out with Xiao Mohan when she heard Chen Guang's statements. Xiao Mohan frowned and examined his hands' red marks after Chen Guang departed.

"Big Brother, you are hurt? I will go get you some medicine right away." Xiao Jiashu's eyes were still red after he had just finished crying. He raced back to the house with his short legs to get some ointment after seeing the red marks on Xiao Mohan's hands.

Xiao Mohan was not injured; he had an easily bruised body. 

His pain sensitivity was also higher than an average person's. He was extremely sensitive, and a minor bump would bruise his skin black, requiring many days to heal. Chen Guang was nearby, and Xiao Mohan did not like to exhibit his flaws in public. He only opened his palm to check the red marks after Chen Guang had left.

Ye Zhen had just finished making the bed when she noticed Xiao Jiashu using the ointment and realized that Xiao Mohan had been injured again. She hurriedly put down what she was doing and carefully examined Xiao Mohan's hand. Xiao Mohan has long, pale fingers with noticeable joints. Even his fingernails were a lovely pink color, but the frightening red markings ruined them.

"That is good, no bleeding." Ye Zhen exhaled a breath of relief and gently massaged Xiao Mohan's fingertips with ointment. It was not the first time she had noticed such red marks. Those marks would remain on Xiao Mohan's body when he stumbled or was pushed.

After applying the cream, Ye Zhen was reminded of Zhao Xier's haughty and dominant demeanor. She paused for a moment. "Uncle Chen Guang recently informed me that you attend the same school as the Zhao family's young master. He also said that the Zhao family's young master is the school bully and that he is adept at fighting. The Zhao family's young master has a hostile attitude toward us. He does not seem to like us very much. I have some concerns about you... You are in the same school as him. You must endure if the Zhao family's young master says something you do not want to hear. Do not get into a fight with him, please."

Xiao Mohan pursed his lips and remained silent.

Ye Zhen sighed, clearly concerned. "If you fight, he might be able to kill you with one punch..."

Xiao Mohan was rendered speechless.

Yang Guiying was harvesting vegetables in the garden at the back when Zhao Xier got back. She looked like she was about to return to her room to fetch her phone and play games with her friends. She was not sure if it was because she had not slept well the night before or because of the arrival of the book's male lead, Xiao Mohan, but she was irritated. She kept losing at the game, which upset her even more.

Zhao Xier abandoned the game and switched off her phone after losing another round to get some sleep. Before she could switch off her phone, she received a message. [What's up, Brother?] Zhang Yuan wrote in the first message. [Are you having a rough day? That is not your typical score!]
