章 447: Chapter 447: Eradicating Rats

"Brother!"

Yueyue looked somewhat helpless, only raising her eyes to gaze at Xiaoqi standing at the doorway.

"I, I didn't do it on purpose..." Xiaoqi stuttered, somewhat at a loss as he looked at Yueyue, barely managing to choke out these words after a long while.

He truly didn't do it on purpose; as soon as Brother Aze said it was time to disband, his first thought was to come here to find Yuanbao.

The apology he had prepared ahead of time abruptly changed once he saw her, and as soon as the words left his mouth, they came out as something different entirely...

"Brother, you should apologize to Yuanbao."

Yueyue pursed her lips, speaking softly.

She wouldn't possibly blame her brother. After all, if she did not exist as a burden, her brother's life would be much more comfortable.

Nor would he have become the village's ridiculed "parasitic son-in-law" in his efforts to save her.
