Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"I'll go with you." Jiang Yao picked up two apples from the table and shook them at Lu Xingzhi. "If it's nothing serious, we can say that we heard the child crying, so we came to take a look at the situation and maybe to help the child."

"That's so thoughtful of you." Zhao Weiqi complimented Jiang Yao.

When Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao arrived next door, many people gathered in the courtyard next door, and two were in military uniforms.

The two soldiers were pressing down on a boy who looked about ten years old. The boy looked thin and small, but his strength was astonishing. Those two soldiers were young and strong, yet he could still wave his hands and kick his feet fiercely at them. The two soldiers were so tired that they were sweating.

A 30-year-old woman raised her hand and slapped the boy. Then, she took the boy's clothes off. She scolded him and said, "You motherless wild child, how dare you steal my son's clothes! Today, I'll strip you naked! "

The little boy was as fierce as a wild wolf. When they suppressed his hands, he used his foot to kick them. He kicked the woman's shoulder, causing the woman to take a few steps backward. The woman was so angry that she shouted at the two young soldiers. "Keep your hands on his foot!"

The two soldiers were flustered. One pressed down on the boy's hands and the other on his foot. Then, the woman went toward the boy and slapped him again. The force was so strong that Jiang Yao, who was listening by the side, was shocked. Her heart ached for the child.

He had only taken a set of clothes. That woman's reaction was too over the top. However, Jiang Yao felt that it was strange that so many people were watching, yet no one went up to stop her.

Just as the woman was about to slap the child again, Lu Xingzhi quickly walked forward and stopped her. He asked in a cold voice, "As a military family member, do you think it's appropriate for you to bully a child?"

Lu Xingzhi had reported to the military yesterday, so everyone knew about him.

At first, they were shocked by his actions, and then they were surprised by his cold words. It took them a long time to recover from their shock.

The woman was the first to react. She said, "This is a child without a father or a mother. He's a vagrant child who hangs outside the base with a few other children. He's a beggar child."

"He's still a child," Lu Xingzhi said coldly.

"Colonel Lu, you don't understand as you've just arrived. This child is too annoying. He's always cheating our children out of their money, food, and toys. It's daylight robbery! Look what he did this time. He cheated our son of his clothes. Our son had to come home naked! How can I not be angry? Ask the families with children. Whose child hasn't been bullied by that wild child?"

Liang Yueze said that Colonel Ye's youngest son was only six years old, but that orphan child also looked like he was ten years old. Could a ten-year-old child wear the clothes of a six-year-old child?

After Jiang Yao saw Colonel Ye's youngest son behind the crowd, she dispelled her speculations silently.

Colonel Ye's youngest son was too fat!

He was so fat that he looked like a ball from afar.

However, the wild child was so thin that he could wear Colonel Ye's youngest son's clothes.
