Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 488 My Brother is a Cannon Fodder Subordinate 6

Due to health reasons, Zhao Zhao was exempt from any physical education classes. So after the group gathered and dispersed on the playground, she sat quietly on a chair under a tree, staring blankly into the distance.

"Wow!"

A sudden commotion broke the tranquility of the playground. Zhao Zhao frowned slightly and walked towards the classroom without hesitation.

"Brother Xing, that was an awesome shot!"

Lu Yuan didn't know why Shen Xinghe was suddenly playing so hard, but he wisely didn't ask. He just praised him.

Shen Xinghe fought harder and harder, and cheers erupted all around him. He tossed his hair, glanced casually behind him, and his body stiffened slightly.

"Brother Xing, what are you looking at?"

Lu Yuan praised him for a long time but saw no reaction. Following his gaze, he saw only a tall, slender figure under a tree not far away.

He wanted to say something more, but Shen Xinghe turned away without saying a word, his face cold.

He scratched his head, not understanding why the young master had suddenly become angry.

Zhao Zhao was on his way back to the classroom to do his homework when someone suddenly blocked his path. His eyes turned cold, and when he looked up, he was somewhat surprised to see who it was: "Brother?"

Her cold eyes softened with a hint of a smile when she saw him.

"Why are you here?"

The boy stood on a step higher than himself, his handsome face showing a gentle expression.

Xie Zian rubbed his head and said with a grin, "I was just passing by your teaching building and thought I'd drop by to see you."

Zhao Zhao's smile faded. "Why would you pass by our teaching building during class time?"

He then asked, "Where did you go?"

Xie Zian glanced around nervously. "Oh, nothing much. I'm leaving now."

"Stop! What happened to your face?" Zhao Zhao stood on tiptoe, raised her hand to wipe the dust off Xie Zi'an's face, and said coldly, "You went out fooling around with them again?"

"I already told you, they're not good people..."

"Huh? Who isn't a good person?" Before he could finish speaking, a low, slow voice came from behind him. Xie Zian froze, and Zhao Zhao slowly turned around, meeting the boy's dark gaze.

The boy was followed by several other boys of similar age. His tall stature and outstanding appearance made him stand out from the crowd.

"Brother Ji."

Xie Zian flashed in front of Zhao Zhao, but Zhao Zhao pushed him behind her, her cold gaze meeting Ji Yunqi's again: "Don't you know you can't interrupt when others are speaking?"

Ji Yunqi's eyes were cold, but a smile appeared on his face: "Don't you know it's impolite to talk about others behind their backs?"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Xie Zi'an: "Zi'an, is this your younger brother?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zhao forcefully stood in front of Xie Zi'an, as if he were some kind of monster, and was defending him so fiercely.

The boy was almost a head shorter than him and looked frail.

He had no interest in arguing with a sickly child. He gave Xie Zian a warning glance and left in a large group with his followers.

"Zhao Zhao..." Xie Zi'an noticed that Zhao Zhao was angry and tried to coax him by pulling his arm, but Zhao Zhao coldly shook him off.

What were you doing following them?

His gaze was like an X-ray; Xie Zian felt as if he could see right through him. His voice was low, and he wore a resigned smile.

"Go online."

After saying that, Zhao Zhao glared at him and turned to leave. Xie Zi'an wanted to chase after her, but seeing that Zhao Zhao was about to run away from him, he quickly said, "Okay, okay, I won't chase you, just slow down!"

He stood there motionless, watching the boy go upstairs and disappear, feeling a void in his heart.

Back in Class 12, with Zhao Zhao on his mind, Xie Zi'an, unusually, didn't fawn over Ji Yunqi. Instead, he listened attentively to the lesson.

When the class ended, it was lunchtime, and he rushed to Class 1 of Grade 11 with a smile on his face. He immediately saw Zhao Zhao sitting quietly by the window, waiting for him.

Sunlight shone on the boy's sickly pale face, and even the usually indifferent man seemed to have warmed up.

"Zhao Zhao!" Xie Zi'an called out happily. Zhao Zhao saw him, got up and came out.

"I thought you didn't want to have dinner with me anymore."

The still excited voice reached his ears, and Zhao Zhao's heart couldn't help but tremble. He forced a smile and didn't say much: "Let's go, let's eat."

He has always liked to get angry with his older brother since he was a child, but he always manages to make up with himself, and this time was no exception.

The cafeteria was crowded, and Xie Zi'an was worried about Zhao Zhao, who had a leg injury, wandering around inside. So, since the start of the semester, Xie Zi'an has been accompanying her to every lunch.

Zhao Zhao felt very warm inside, and was very happy to have such a good older brother.
