Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 102: Your sorrow is your own problem

Zuo Xiaolan and Ye Nantian's expressions changed right after hearing Ye Ci's words. They glared at her, wishing that they could make her swallow her words.

Bai Mo was shocked as well. In his eyes, Ye Ci was a little brat. Since when did she learn to say such things?

Tan Polang, of course, heard her words as well. His hand that was holding the chopsticks trembled. He then raised his head and glared at Ye Ci with an expression full of sorrow and some hints of anger as well. The despair in his eyes were gone, replaced by a fury threatening to explode.

His expression reminded Ye Ci of how she felt when her parents died in her last life. She seemed to have had the same behavior as well. Ye Ci pursed her lips and placed more food into Tan Polang's bowl, "Eat, eat. Then you can have the strength to cry, to be as sorrowful as you want. Where would you find the strength to do all of that if you're hungry?"

Tan Polang stood up abruptly after listening to Ye Ci's words. His body trembled, and his anger appeared to be at its peak. Despite that, he remained quiet as he glared at Ye Ci with his bloodshot eyes that were filled with anger. If looks could kill, Ye Ci would've been dead.

"Why are you looking at me?" Ye Ci narrowed her eyes and smiled. It was a smile that did not reach her eyes.

The boy could not stand her provocation any longer. He set down his chopsticks, pushed aside his chair, and dashed out of the house.

"Polang! Polang!" Zuo Xiaolan immediately shouted after him, "Bai Mo! Quick! Follow and check on him!"

Bai Mo was stunned by the sudden turn of events. He sprang into action and chased after Tan Polang when Zuo Xiaolan shouted at him.

"You damned brat! How could you say that!? Don't you know what happened to his family?" Zuo Xiaolan, who was thoroughly angered, slapped Ye Ci. "How could you do that as a sister? Why are you making fun of somebody else's misfortune?"

Ye Nantian knew that Zuo Xiaolan had lost control of her temper, and he immediately held her back, "Honey, you have to calm down." He the gave Ye Ci a meaningful look, "Damned brat, why are you still standing over there? Go after him! What if he gets lost or something?"

Ye Ci mumbled an affirmation under her breath and slowly walked away. She did not even take Zuo Xiaolan's cussing seriously. She let out a sigh. What an egoistic boy.

Tan Polang had not eaten well for days, and Ye Ci had heard about it from Bai Mo. Because of that, she knew that Tan Polang would not be able to get far.

She walked downstairs slowly, then pulled out her phone and called Bai Mo. After confirming that Bai Mo had caught up with the kid and that they were at the park, Ye Ci headed to the place slowly. She could see the two sitting on a bench from afar, and Bai Mo was consoling Tan Polang like a caring older brother. It did not work out well. He was totally being ignored by the kid.

Ye Ci turned around and walked towards a beef noodles restaurant nearby and ordered 2 bowls of noodles. She instructed the employees to deliver the noodles to the park, and left. As she approached the Bai Mo and Tan Polang, Bai Mo, who heard her footsteps, turned to look at her. She smiled and said, "Bai Mo, you can head back first."

"Uh?" Bai Mo was baffled, "Why are you here?"

"So I'm not allowed to come here? You head home, or there'll be no dishes left for you." Said Ye Ci who was standing behind Bai Mo with a calm expression.

Just as Bai Mo was about to open his mouth, Ye Ci shook her head, and he immediately understood her intention. Sometimes, the person who hung the bell on the tiger's neck must untie it. Bai Mo stood up, patted Tan Polang on the head, and left.
