Chapter 2688 - 2681: Sympathy

To put it simply, she’s just a child herself.

Her brother is the only family she has left in this world, so even though she’s just a child, she has to raise her brother!

She’s always been protecting her brother from being bullied by others.

"So, your father isn’t actually your biological father?" Ning Chenyang was stunned. He hadn’t expected Luo Tong’s family situation to be like this.

"Yeah. Now you know? So, don’t doubt me anymore." Luo Tong said sullenly. She had never talked about these things before, nor shared them with anyone.

Ning Chenyang was the first person to hear her speak about these things.

For some reason, she wanted to tell Ning Chenyang, she didn’t want to be misunderstood by him all along.

"Oh, I won’t doubt you anymore. However, is your dad good to you?" Ning Chenyang began to feel some sympathy for Luo Tong.

"How should I put it?" Luo Tong stood up and pointed at the things in this room, saying, "Look, these are all the best things. As long as he’s home, we don’t lack food or drink, and we never run out of money. This gaming console, he bought it for me and my brother. In this regard, he’s quite good to us. But, he doesn’t come home often and has no time to take care of us. That’s not really too good, right? But my brother and I have gotten used to it."

"Got it."

"Then... will you still look down on me in the future?" Luo Tong sat down, propping her chin and blinking her big eyes at Ning Chenyang, with a hint of hope and longing in her eyes.

She wanted to be friends with someone like Ning Chenyang.

Although they didn’t know each other, he was genuinely a warm-hearted person, willing to help her.

"I won’t." Ning Chenyang shook his head, "But you should work on your temper. Honestly, how did you become friends with Wang Xiaohu and the others?"

"The three of them bullied me. They looked down on me in the beginning too! They said I was a freak, had a strange personality, and was unlikable! They couldn’t stand me and wanted to hit me, followed me all the way to my house." Luo Tong smiled sweetly and said, "But I invited them in to play, asked them to play games. Now, aren’t they completely hooked? In school, with them having my back, no one dares to bully me anymore."

"Exactly, exactly."

"Luo Tong, your game console is really fun."

"Don’t worry, with us here, no one will dare bully you!"

The three guys, while grabbing the game controller, didn’t forget to chime in with a few words.

"You’re pretty smart." Ning Chenyang said.

"This is just a means of self-protection for me." Luo Tong laughed twice and said.

After finishing an ice lolly, Ning Chenyang chatted with Luo Tong for a few more moments, then went to watch the three of them play games. The three were competing so fiercely that he couldn’t get a turn.

Not playing games didn’t really bother Ning Chenyang, he just felt a bit bored.

Luo Tong also noticed this, she patted Ning Chenyang’s shoulder and asked, "Do you like reading comics?"

"You have some at home?" Ning Chenyang asked.

"Of course! Come on, I’ll take you to get them!"

"That’s great." Ning Chenyang said happily, "I didn’t expect your foster father to be so nice to you! He buys you everything!"

"Yeah."

Ning Chenyang followed Luo Tong to her bedroom, the place wasn’t big, but it was neat and tidy.

"Wait for a moment. I’ve read a lot of comics, but they are all under the bed. I’ll get them for you, hang on for a second!" Luo Tong crawled under the bed, while Ning Chenyang’s eyes wandered around her room, and finally, stopped on a photo on her desk.
