Tears welled up in Gu Yao's eyes. Qiao Xi thought that Gu Zheng had bullied Gu Yao and was instantly furious. "Gu Zheng is too much! You're his younger brother, after all. Why did he bully you until you're crying? What did he say to you? Did he hit you but you don't dare to say it? Did he hurt you? Don't be afraid of him. Even if he bullies you, you can't just take it lying down. Beat him back!"
Hearing Qiao Xi's indignant words, Gu Yao looked at her with eyes full of grief. His lips trembled slightly. "Q-Qiao Xi, please don't have any dangerous thoughts. I'm a living example!"
Qiao Xi's face was full of heartache. "Gu Zheng always bullies you. You've been oppressed for so many years, so why do you still like this brother of yours so much? Could it be that you like being abused?"
