Spoiled

"No wonder your children are such spoiled brats." Li Honglie thought she misheard something, but she was wrong. Xie Feihao is always pissed whenever he makes that 'sane' smile with wide-open eyes.

"Wha-"

"Didn't I make myself clear?" He tilts his head and glares, "I said your parenting is shit."

Her father starts to look frustrated, "What did you say!?" He yelled with the same voice as when Li Honglie did something wrong.

Xie Feihao pushes himself off and organizes his cloth, "Let me guess," he stops and looks at Li Honglie's father boldly, "'You need to have more confidence.' Is that what you say to your kids?" He asks.

Li Honglie wishes to interrupt the fight, but she froze and listen.

"Hey, you!" Xie Feihao rudely calls out at Li Feifei's mother, "You seem like the type of person who says, 'It's okay, everyone is different.'" Li Feifei flinches.

"Oh look," He notices Li Feifei's action with a dark grin on his face, "I was right. You guys are indeed are a huge piece of bullsh-"

"Alright!" Yang Li yells on the top of his lungs and drags Xie Feihao back, "You don't need to go that far-"

"Shut up you cockroach." Xie Feihao elbows Yang Li in the nose and made his escape, then he went back to his list of insults, "You're telling your kids that they aren't good enough. You have so many complaints but why don't you sit your butt down and listen to what they have to say?"

Li Honglie grits her teeth, she had enough. She swings her purse which hits Xie Feihao in the face, "I don't need a boy who's shorter than me to defend me. I can speak for myself!" Then she turns her head to her father, "I'm leaving this house!"

"So, 'by leaving,' you're moving to Haohao's house?" Alex asks.

"Yep!" Li Honglie nods her head while sitting on the sofa.

"Uh-huh." She replies with disbelief. Alex looks in Xie Feihao's direction, who's tieing his shoes near the entrance of Zhao Lili's house. "And what are you going?"

"Beating someone up." He mumbles.

Alex paused for a moment after listening to his answer, "Whatever, don't commit murder."

Zhao Lili came into the living with plates of cut fruits in her hands, "Where are you going?" She notices Xie Feihao opens the door, "We have guests over, you can't just leave them alone."

Xie Feihao just turned his head around while his hands are on the door handle, "It'll be a short walk!" He replied with a joyful tone and a bright smile, then he slams the door shut while leaving.

"That kid!" Zhao Lili left the living room into the kitchen.

Yang Li's face turns blue, "Haohao is definitely going to murder someone."

"I can't tell." Li Honglie mumbles, "He's so hard to read, his facial expression never matches what he's thinking, and I can never tell if he's joking or not, and his sarcasm is over the roof."

Yang Li turns his head towards Alex, "Told you Haohao's a compulsive liar." Then went back to play on his phone.

Alex and Li Honglie sit still as the two of them ran out of topics to have a conversation about. Then Alex reaches for a toothpick and stabs a melon slice.

"Anyways, aren't afraid what that boy is going to do if you living in his house?" Alex jokes around.

Li Honglie gave her an unfazed gaze, "As far as I know, Xie Feihao doesn't even count as a guy, he treats people indifferently no matter who they are."

"But the Haohao I know treats everyone like air." Yang Li joins the conversation and died in the middle of his mobile game.

Qi Zhao was having a horrible day. After his young master ordered him to find the identity of a person nicknamed 'Y', Long Jingluo's behavior starts to become strang and sluggish. Now he asks to find a girl with only a picture and a name, the information only led him to the street where Li Feifei and that girl were kidnapped.

It was a street full of abandoned buildings, plastic wastes are all over the sidewalks, vines are growing within the cracks of the walls, and the posters on the windows were ripped in halves. Today was also extremely dark, Qi Zhao was in difficulty not to be able to see anything when there are only two streetlights working properly, and most of them are broken while a few gives occasional flashes. He thought his job would definitely be easier if Long Jingluo didn't break his friendship with Xie Feihao, since Xie Feihao's grandmother was married to a past commander of the military, and part of the military still willing to work for her, even tho Zhen Liyue's family is not part of the military anymore.

Qi Zhao tries to convince himself that he's safe with the gun in his pocket, he walks around the street slowly and carefully without making any sound. Then he jumped at the slightest noise from the trashcan in the alley. He took his gun out in panic and points at the direction where the noise came from. A few seconds later, a cat crawls out and leaves.

Qi Zhao took a deep sigh and put down his gun. After all, this part of the street was abandoned for drug dealing and gang fights, many criminals were arrested here as well.

"Hey." Qi Zhao jumps back when someone taps his shoulder from the back and accidentally drops his armed weapon on the sidewalk.

A person, who's shorter than the average grown woman, crouches down and reach for the gun, they were wearing a black hoodie that cast a shadow on his face. With how much visibility was there for Qi Zhao, he cannot identify the person in front of him... yet.

"A gun." They had the voice of a teenager, but the pitch of their voice made it difficult to figure out if they're a girl of a boy.

"I haven't seen one of these since that day, isn't that right? Qi Zhao?"

Qi Zhao took another sigh. It was just a kid, why is he so jumpy today? But why is this kid on this street? And how did they know his name?

He quickly stands back up and snatches the gun from the teen's hands and points the gun at the head, "Who are you?" He was on alert, how does anyone passing on the street know his identity?

They raise both of their hands in the air, "Relax," Qi Zhao can barely see a grin on the person's face, "you should probably put that thing down." The unknown teen points at their own forehead.

Qi Zhao looks slightly up, he notices a red laser glaring at his eyes. It was a sniper.

He knew going on this street would be a bad idea. He should have disagreed to search the streets today, but Long Jingluo insisted that he should or any evidence would be taken away.

Qi Zhao knew he was messing with the wrong person, so he puts his gun down. When he did, the laser disappeared, like it was never there.

"Geez, I told Zhen Liyue not to do something stupid like that into my life, and that's a bit extreme." The person took off his hood, revealing his face, "Long time to see, Mister Qi Zhao." Xie Feihao gave a calm and half-convincing smile.
