Douluo Dalu: Qian Renxue's Younger Brother

Suddenly, Bibi Dong shouted, startling Qian Renjue.

His small body trembled, and he raised his hand to cover the scar on his left eyebrow—the very spot Bibi Dong had been looking at moments ago.

Qian Renjue was certain: Bibi Dong was concerned about him just now.

Feeling a surge of joy, he smiled slightly and tried to reassure her:

"Mom, don't worry, it doesn't hurt. It's already healed, I'm fine."

"Shut up!"

Panic flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Her face darkened, and her voice became icy cold. Gritting her teeth, she spat out angrily, "Don't say it again! Don't call me Mom!"

"Okay, Sister," Qian Renjue nodded, still holding the scar on his eyebrow, "I'm really fine!"

"Ha!"

Bibi Dong almost laughed out of anger.

Her eyes turned bloodshot, her mouth twitched as she struggled to control her emotions.

The cold sneer on her face twisted into something nearly grotesque.

"You think I care about you?!"

"Just now, I only wanted to get rid of that trash you brought over!"

BANG

With a light wave of her hand, Bibi Dong destroyed the glass vase beside the flowerbed.

"Get out! If you come again, I'll kill you!"

Bibi Dong almost screamed the last sentence, and a murderous intent surged from her.

The intensity of that threat made Qian Renjue's eyes turn red.

He stared blankly at her distorted face.

Bibi Dong's body trembled slightly, and she was breathing heavily, clenching her teeth and fists.

"Jue, let's go."

Qian Renxue had somehow appeared in front of Qian Renjue.

Holding her sword, she shielded him with her body, as if protecting him during a retreat.

Seeing the wariness in Qian Renxue's eyes, Bibi Dong's expression grew even darker.

This child...

Just like Qian Xunji, she disgusts me!

"Get out!" Bibi Dong screamed again.

Qian Renxue furrowed her delicate brows, her disappointment in Bibi Dong deepening.

She grabbed Qian Renjue's hand, ready to leave.

"Jue…"

"I understand!" Qian Renjue responded and ran out ahead of her.

"Jue, what are you doing?"

Qian Renxue hurried to catch up, unable to resist asking.

Qian Renjue had already squatted by the flowerbed, using his long sleeves to carefully gather the glass shards together.

He cupped them in his hands and put them into his pocket.

"Jue…"

Qian Renxue was stunned.

Bibi Dong was also taken aback.

After tidying up the ground, Qian Renjue stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Sister, let's go."

"Okay, let's go."

Qian Renxue took his small hand, her heart aching—she knew the feeling all too well.

Qian Renjue would likely end up just like her, no longer asking for his mother.

Bibi Dong thought the same as she watched the siblings walk out of the courtyard.

She looked up at the bare flower bed, noticing the pink flower.

He probably won't come back, right?

A sharp pain, like a knife cut, stirred in her heart.

Suddenly.

Just as they stepped outside the courtyard, Qian Renjue unexpectedly turned back.

He waved his little hand toward Bibi Dong.

"Goodbye, Mom. The trash has been taken away!"

"Jue?"

Qian Renxue looked at him in shock, hurriedly pulling him along to speed up their departure.

"Sister?"

Qian Renjue tugged at Qian Renxue, trying to slow her down, but it was futile.

So he simply turned back toward the ever-distant Bibi Dong.

He waved and smiled, calling out his farewell.

Bibi Dong stood frozen in place, her expression twisted as she stared at Qian Renjue.

Her heart was filled with anger and resentment, yet there was a trace of relief...

What am I relieved about?

She gritted her teeth, watching as Qian Renjue's figure grew smaller and more blurred.

At a certain moment.

Bibi Dong's body began to tremble.

In the now tiny and blurry image of Qian Renjue...

She seemed to see him as a newborn.

When Qian Xunji had taken him away, Xiao Jue had waved at her in the same way...

Thud!

The book in her hand, nearly crumpled into a ball, fell to the ground.

Accompanied by tiny droplets of moisture.

...

"Slow down, Sister."

After they were far from the courtyard, Qian Renxue finally slowed her pace, turning back to remind Qian Renjue:

"Jue, don't go back there anymore."

"Why?"

Qian Renjue looked puzzled.

"Didn't you hear? She wants to kill you!"

Qian Renxue, somewhat agitated, dropped her sword and grabbed Qian Renjue by both shoulders.

"Mom would never do that."

Qian Renjue's words were firm and resolute.

He was absolutely certain!

Even Bibi Dong, who became the crazed Rakshasa God, was willing to die to protect Qian Renxue.

How could she possibly want to kill him now?

Qian Renxue's breath caught.

As someone who had lived through it, she knew better.

But precisely because of her experience...

Qian Renxue had been in such a hurry to drag Qian Renjue away.

She wanted to extinguish his desire to ever go back there again.

Qian Renxue knew very well.

Sooner or later, Qian Renjue would end up hurting himself.

Not just physically.

"Have you forgotten what happened last time?"

Qian Renxue softened her tone, reminding him:

"Even if she doesn't kill you, she won't be kind to you either!"

Qian Renjue stared intently at Qian Renxue.

His small brows furrowed.

In a soft voice, he asked, "Sister, don't you want to have a mom?"

"Jue, I…"

Of course, Qian Renxue wanted a mother.

But at this moment, what could she say?

Seeing Qian Renxue's troubled expression, Qian Renjue smiled.

"Ha-ha~ I don't want to lose Mom either!"

"Jue…"

Qian Renxue looked at the smiling face in front of her, feeling at a loss.

"Sister, look."

Qian Renjue took Qian Renxue's hand and placed it on his face.

Then, he placed his own hand on her cheek.

With a smile, he said:

"Sister, we both look so nice now, and we're both so well-behaved. Mom definitely won't abandon us."

"As long as we go there every day, Mom will eventually come to like us!"

After hearing Qian Renjue's words.

Qian Renxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She gained a deeper understanding of her brother's optimism and enthusiasm.

Qian Renxue knew she couldn't persuade him anymore.

But she couldn't help but wonder.

Maybe, in this life...

Her angelic brother could truly change that woman?

Qian Renxue rubbed Qian Renjue's soft face.

With a serious tone, she said:

"If that's the case, then I'll accompany you every day from now on. But it mustn't interfere with your training."

"Okay, okay!"

Qian Renjue jumped up excitedly.

He nestled into Qian Renxue's arms and looked up, suggesting:

"Sister, how about we add some training? Running!"

"Let's run from the mountain to Mom's place and then quickly run back! On the way back, we can race to see who's faster."

"Alright, Sister's up for it."

Qian Renxue smiled and nodded, looking at the little Qian Renjue.

She couldn't resist planting a kiss on his forehead.

"Sister, I'm all sweaty!"

"Pfft~ Sister doesn't mind, Jue."

"Then let's start today and see who gets to the top of the mountain first."

"Alright!"

As soon as Qian Renxue nodded, Qian Renjue had already run ahead, looking back to boast.

"Ha-ha."

"Sister, you'd better hurry and catch me!"

"Jue, watch your step!"

Qian Renxue couldn't help but remind him.

She bent down to pick up the wooden sword, chasing after Qian Renjue with a smile.

She couldn't help but glance back in Bibi Dong's direction.

How could she not hope for...

A normal mother-daughter relationship with Bibi Dong?

...

Shortly after Qian Renjue and Qian Renxue left, Qian Xunji arrived at the entrance to Bibi Dong's courtyard.
