During those times, she would keep her head down as she ate the walnut cookies and wiped her tears.She would listen as he blew his own trumpet over how he made the group of naughty kids cry. He hada flair for showmanship as he made Zhou Ying happy.
She would cry and cry, but then suddenly, she would laugh.

“Chu Feng…” Zhou Ying whispered and felt aching remorse. She quietly bit her red lips.

Then, nobody would dare to so unscrupulously bully her.
Zhou Ying lowered her head; she wanted to bury her head in the ground like an ostrich, desperate toescape the scary reality of the world.
However, at this moment, she heard footsteps. A familiar and gentle voice rang by her ear, saying, “Youstill behave like you used to when you were young. Whenever you’re unhappy, you’d run to a cornerand secretly cry.”
W-Was that...
Zhou Ying didn’t dare to believe it. As if she was dreaming, her head jerked upward and the sight shesaw made her lose control of her tear glands; streams of tears started rolling down her cheeks.
Before her stood Chu Feng. She did not know how long he had been standing there.
That skinny big kid from the old days had become a formidable and manly man. He stood up straightand was full of grandeur.
Despite that, the sense of security and warmth that he exuded did not change at all.
Zhou Ying sobbed. She opened her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but no words came out asthe tears steadily rolled down her cheeks.
“On my way here, I happened to pass by a dessert shop that sells freshly-baked walnut cookies. Havesome?” Chu Feng sat next to her and unwrapped some kraft paper; in it was Zhou Ying’s favouritedessert.
Zhou Ying’s completely let loose of her emotions. She grabbed the whole bag of walnut cookies andstarted to eat with big bites. With her mouth full, she ate and cried.

All that injustice and dissatisfaction that she felt all came pouring out at this moment.
Chu Feng only stayed quietly by her side. Those broad and burly shoulders were like big mountains,supporting Zhou Ying’s last sliver of hope.
There was a chill in Chu Feng’s eyes. “I’ll defend you. I’ll look for Sun Mingxuan and avenge you for allthe grief that you’ve experienced today.”
He had witnessed everything that happened at the shopping mall. He was seething with rage andwanted to help Zhou Ying, his sister.
“D-Don’t do that,” Zhou Ying said as she shook her head and looked at Chu Feng with a grievedexpression. “They are my elders. From today onward, I would still have to live in the Sun family home.”
“D-Don’t do that,” Zhou Ying said as she shook her head and looked at Chu Feng with a grievedexpression. “They are my elders. From today onward, I would still have to live in the Sun family home.”
What she was trying to convey was that at the end of the day, she was the daughter-in-law of the Sunfamily; she had to think of the future, so she didn’t want things to be done in a way that was too harsh.
When Chu Feng heard this, his heart ached. In a low voice, he said, “Then don’t let them bully you. Mysister is not to be bullied.”
“Yes.”
Zhou Ying was finally smiling. She leaned against Chu Feng’s shoulders feeling happy and safe.
It was as if they were kids again.
Back then, they would always do as they were doing now, quietly sitting on the top of a hill or in front ofthe house, watching the clouds float by and the birds chirp on a sunny day when the breeze wascomfortable.
Just like that, time flew by and they didn’t feel bored at all.
Chu Feng quietly stayed with Zhou Ying as time trickled away.
Ten minutes, an hour, two hours...
Only when the sun set did Chu Feng stand up and said, “I should leave now. Take care.”
Zhou Ying opened her mouth. She did not want to see him leave, but in the end, she nodded sadly.
“Alright, good bye.”
