Chapter-10:Understanding Friends

Song Xiao Bo calmed down after hugging his elder brother for some time. Wei Chen's phone started ringing.

He answered the call. It was his furious Father who yelled at him for not attending the meeting.

Xiao Bo understood that his brother was being scolded because of him so he quietly got up from his brother and sat beside him looking down.

Wei Chen smiled at his little brother and patted his head signing that it was okay and went out to talk with his Father so as not to make the Younger feel more guilty.

"Father, please calm down and hear me out," Wei Chen started.

"What is so important than attending this meeting, Wei Chen?" His Father's voice wasn't soft at all.

"Li Family's young master Li Feng Mian," Wei Chen paused.

Song Yi Ming stayed quiet, "Li Feng Mian? You are with him?"

>>>Nope... he was the one who made me go late to the meeting anyway, so I will just use his name for now.

"Yes, we met coincidentally and he told me that it is his first time in S city and that he doesn't know any good place so I am accompanying him," Wei Chen lied, smoothly.

Song Yi Ming's face lit up instantly,

>>>If Wei Chen can trap Li Feng Mian then I can take my revenge on his father Li Zhao Yang. Why didn't I think of this sooner...

"Ah, is that so? That's good. I and Li Zhao Yang are old friends even though we don't meet much now, it's good if younger generations can be friends," Yi Ming sounded sincere but he was smiling sinisterly.

Song Wei Chen's brows furrowed. He balled his fist understanding the hidden meaning behind his Father's honey words.

"Yes, Father," he gritted his teeth and ended the call.

"Wei Chen Gege," Xin Yi called.

And Wei Chen looked back with a frown but calmed down seeing him, "Ah, Xin Yi."

"You didn't leave, Gege? I thought you left already," Xin Yi asked.

"I did but had to come back because..." Wei Chen looked at the door and then back at Xin Yi.

"Wei Chen Gege, is Xiao Xiao inside the room?" Xin Yi queried.

"Yes, what happened?" Wei Chen asked back.

"We went to the cafeteria to eat lunch then suddenly he saw someone and ran away getting scared," Shen Yu explained.

Wei Chen narrowed his eyes at the new person.

"Ah, he is Cao Shen Yu. He lives next to our room. We three went out to eat and this happened, we ran after him searching but he was fast," Xin Yi explained.

Shen Yu bowed to him and Wei Chen nodded in acknowledgment.

"Actually, I think you both heard rumors about him right?" Wei Chen asked looking at them hesitatingly.

Shen Yu was clueless cause he didn't have any interest in the news and only watched animes and played online games. While Xin Yi knew what Wei Chen was implying.

Feng Xin Yi knew who the Song siblings were as soon as he opened the door and saw them.

He thought maybe his two years of high school would be a mess because he would be roommates with Song Xiao Bo as he heard a lot of bad things about him.

But when he saw the person in the flesh, he couldn't believe such an innocent and cute-looking person would be arrogant and a whore who would cling to rich old men.

He didn't want to get to a conclusion so soon. He wanted to see his behavior first, so he just acted like he didn't know about any of the rumors.

Thinking about how shy and quiet Xiao Bo was he was half sure that the rumors were all wrong.

He wanted to give him a chance and see for himself how he was before judging him based on those baseless rumors.

Feng Xin Yi nodded, "Yes, I do. But I don't want to believe them." He honestly said.

Wei Chen nodded, "They aren't even one percent true. It's all made up because those old perverted men were offended as Xiao Bo didn't submit to them and spread all those vulgar rumors to break him down."

Xin Yi was left speechless and then he got angry,

>>>How can they...

"As his elder brother, I couldn't even do anything to stop rumors from spreading. And Xiao Xiao had to go through so much pain because of those rumors cause those perverts wouldn't leave him wherever he went. So, he never stepped out of home and became timid," Wei Chen elucidated.

Even though Shen Yu didn't know about the rumors he understood what Wei Chen was saying. He was getting mad listening to what Xiao Bo had gone through.

"Everyone believed those disgusting rumors and shunned him. He had no friends, he was too shy and scared to speak so all of them thought he was arrogant because he was rich, but my Xiao Xiao isn't anything like that," Wei Chen's eyes almost got glossy.

"Of course, Xiao-Er isn't like that," Shen Yu stated.

Wei Chen smiled, "Do you guys remember the man Xiao Xiao saw in the cafeteria?"

"No, we couldn't see clearly and we were shocked seeing Xiao Bo ran away so we just ran behind him," Xin Yi informed.

"Xiao Xiao said that he saw the old perverted man would always harass him whenever he got a chance and that he got scared and ran away. He called me crying so I came back," Wei Chen gritted his teeth,

"I really want to kill that bastard. Why the fuck is everyone trying to ruin him? It's also my Father's fault who would do anything to get more money and because of him Xiao Xiao had to endure all this." Wei Chen's eyes wetted with tears.

Xin Yi patted his shoulder trying to comfort him.

He now understood everything clearly that Xiao Bo was not an arrogant rich kid in fact a victim of perverted men who wanted to see him break so that they could have him.

He knew about this feeling cause being pretty didn't only cause problems for women but for men too.

He would have also been in Xiao Bo's place if his family wasn't powerful enough in the past and now that he had the backing of the Wang family no one dared to harass him.

But he could imagine what the other had to go through and to top it he has a greedy father who was ready to sell him.

Shen Yu doesn't know much about how society worked cause he grew up well-guarded as he was the only child in the Cao family.

And the Wangs also adored him so much and were protective of him.

He did hear about these things happening around him but never paid any attention to them.

To think that his new cute friend was going through that...was a shock for him.

"Is he still... crying, Gege?" Xin Yi asked.

"No, he calmed down but I have to go now and I am worried about him, will he be okay here? I thought it would be better for him to stay in dorms rather than in the home cause Father always abuses him..." Wei Chen said honestly.

He didn't want to hide the truth cause these guys could become Xiao Bo's friends if they could understand his situation and his little brother wouldn't have to be alone in the University.

"Gege, you don't worry. We will take care of Xiao-Er. And I won't let anyone come near him from now on." Shen Yu looked determined.

"Yes, Ge. I only know Xiao Xiao for a few hours but I can clearly see he isn't anything like those rubbish rumours. So, don't worry we will take care of him and if anything happens I will call you," Xin Yi also reassured him.

Song Wei Chen smiled, "Thank you, kids."

The three of them went inside the room and saw Xiao Bo who was curled up on the bed like a cotton ball looking so small.

As he cried so much he got tired and slept like a baby holding the pillow in his hands.

Wei Chen looked adoringly at his little brother. He brushed off the younger's bangs and smiled.

"How can anyone think of harming you..." He sighed.

Feng Xin Yi and Cao Shen Yu were also mesmerized by how cute he was looking while sleeping.

They both were also pretty and they knew that but Song Xiao Bo's beauty was of another level.

They couldn't take their eyes off him and all they could think was how to protect him from the cruel world.

"Let him sleep, I will go for now. You both please take care of him," Wei Chen requested while bowing.

"Gege, you don't have to be so formal with us. You don't have to say, he is our friend from this point on and we will take care of him well. So, don't worry," Xin Yi gave him an assured look.

"Yes, Gege. We won't let anyone harm him," Shen Yu also claimed.

"Thank you," Wei Chen smiled and exited the room.

...

Feng Xin Yi was playing on his mobile and Shen Yu went to his room to arrange his clothes, books, and other things after admiring the sleeping Xiao Bo for a long time.

It was getting pretty late but Xin Yi didn't have the heart to disturb his sleep cause he was sleeping so peacefully.

*Knock* *knock*

Xin Yi got up from his bed thinking that it was Shen Yu and opened the door, "Mu Gege."

"Is Yu-Er with you?" Wang Mu Chen asked.

"No, he is in his room," Xin Yi replied.

"Alright, get ready we will go out to eat," Mu Chen said and went to the next room to call Shen Yu out.

Xin Yi removed his pajamas and wore casual clothes. He was contemplating how to wake his roommate when Shen Yu burst inside,

"Did you wake him up?" He asked.

"No, I don't want to. What should we do?" Xin Yi blinked his eyes looking at the sleeping beauty.
