âEh! We are the bad ones....â Feng whispered and stepped back slightly. Ethan and Aiden supported her from either side.
Hearing her surprised exclamation, Clarian glanced their way.
The little blond girl looked surprised and slightly dubious. She hesitantly walked closer. âAre you here to play?â
âYes they are, I thought you would feel lonely,â Hibi immediately said with a smiling face. âGo on then,â
Fengâs eyebrows twitched. âThe fuck! He is lying through his teethâ she watched the little girl excitedly jump around. âAnd she seemed to believe that?!â
âThis is bad. We canât afford to get close to the main characters. It will only spell our doom. Especially if we considered the villains.â Feng gritted her teeth silently.
Both the twins and Elle had more than enough and were about to go on a rampage, but Feng held them back. âthis kind of shameless guys needed to be dealt with differently.â She subtly pinched the kidâs palm and whispered, âAct along.â
.....
When Clarina happily came close, Feng stumbled back, acting surprised. âDonât come close!!! I-I am scared. We didnât do anything. Please donât do anything to us~â she cried pitifully.
But her dried up tear ducts did not cooperate. She cupped her ace close and softly wiped some saliva near her eyes.
âIâm so sacred~~~â she wailed loudly.
The black-haired man frowned. âWhat are you talking about?â
âahh donât come close!! Donât hurt my little friends. They didnât do anything~â she pitifully glanced at Clarina.
The little blond girl glanced back in disbelief, âmaster Hibi..... Is she telling the truth?â
âNo, I..â
Feng Mian intervened before he could reason with her. â{A fruit when forced to ripen will taste bitter}, sir, please donât force us to befriend people. I-I am just a small person without a strong backing,â
âBut Meimei, you have us...â Elle said patting her back softly.
âOh, little Elle, even as a family no one will understand our position. I am but an orphan. Why.. Why am I being tortured so...â Feng knelt down, wailing. She slightly peaked out to see the guy frowning even more so.
âHe-he you deal with my acting skill you bastard.â
Clarina walked up to him. âMaster Hibi, you donât have to force anyone to be my friend. I donât like it,â
Hibi sighed loudly. âBut you cried all night because of how they mistreated you.â
âThat.... that was nothing. They didnât do anything to me,â she whispered, tearing up a bit.
Those words seem all innocent and but the underlying meaning in this context only means that they did hurt her.
That enraged the man even more.
Feng flinched. âWhat is this girl doing? Is she not going to explain? Why is she crying pitifully again?â
âMaster Hibi, donât worry too much I-Iâm well,â Clarina started to comfort him by patting his knees. âI-I will be good. Then.... then someone might want to be my friend,â
The more she spoke, the more that guyâs anger exploded.
Feng just blinked in astonishment. âIs this girl intentionally doing this? Shit, we canât stay here any further. If that guy really decides to fight us, someone is bound to get hurt.â
âClarina, can you ask your friend here to let us go.. sniff sniff,â Feng whispered wiping at her non-existing tears.
âWho are you to utter her name? Apologise you darn rat,â the annoying pest named Hibi growled at them.
Feng silently observed Clarina. She was silently looking at her feet.
âI have had enough.â Ethan pulled Feng back and glared at them. âItâs Miss Feng for you!! Unlike that maidâs girl she is adopted by lady Hiliana. You have to no right to disrespect her!â
âEthan, wait..â Feng tried to control the situation.
âHe is right, Meimei,â Elle came forward as well. âYou are the rat here. You ask us to apologise to a maid girl? Not happening,â
Everything went downhill quickly.
Even Aiden, who was calm headed, was gearing up for a fistfight.
Feng slowly walked close until he was just a step away. âIf you are not letting us go, then we might have to resort to violence.â
âTsk, what can you four brats do to me,â the man egoistically glanced down at them.
âWell, I can do this,â Feng punched him between his legs.
âoomph!!!!â
âGuys, letâs go!!!â Feng swiftly pulled the twins and Elle out the door. The other burly looking men chased them but Aiden froze the floor making it slippery.
They all slipped down onto each other clumsily..
Feng laughed in glee. âFighting is fun!â
âYes, it is,â Elle laughed as well. âMeimei you are so awesome!!â
âHe-he wait until I unlock my warrior powers no one can defeat me then.â
Feng happily ran back to their room, but soon all of her adrenalin rush calmed down. âSo we are destined to be villains, huh? This sucks.â
âAnd that, Clarina, whatâs her deal? Is she acting innocent and ignorant or is she secretly a âpoisonous white lotusâ?â
So many thoughts ran through her mind.
According to the files, mister ling presented âGlimmer of redemptionâ was just a game where the girl Clarina charms men left and right.
She was made out to be an innocent, forgiving, loving girl that everyone adored.
But from her experience meeting her in real life, all of her characteristics seem to wrong.
âIs it because she is still young that she is like that? Sigh, I will give her the chance of doubt,â
