Beware the Appearing Cute Wife!-Chapter 545 - 596, just a wild breed that nobody wants, yet still so arrogant.

Later on, Tong Xi became acquainted with Gu Zhengming.

Despite Gu Zhengming still being reticent, she chattered around him like a little sparrow.

He was a very quiet person, never went out, and aside from reading, he spent his time painting and writing on paper, which she found odd.

"Why don’t you go out and have fun? Join everyone at the waterside catching fish, it’s so much fun! Come with me!"

"No!" He flatly refused.

Tong Xi felt it was boring, "What are you drawing?"

She turned her head to look at his sketchbook and found various animals drawn with exquisite detail.

"How about I model for you, and you draw a picture of me!"

Tong Xi said cheerfully.

She thought, if he can draw animals so realistically, he must be good at drawing people too.

So, she moved a small stool to sit across from Gu Zhengming, resting her chin in her hands.

"I’m all set, you can start now!"

Seeing her like that, Gu Zhengming was somewhat helpless but still drew a picture of her.

In the drawing, her smile was sweet, her eyes narrowed into a crescent, making her look so adorable, even prettier than herself.

"Thank you!"

She cherished the drawing as she brought it home and carefully stored it away.

Those days, she was very happy, but later her mother took her away. Before leaving, she told Gu Zhengming that she would come back to play with him some other day.

She was eagerly waiting for the winter break to come, and when it finally did, she returned to her grandmother’s house. As soon as she reached the village entrance, she saw a group of boys fighting, several of them against one!

The boys were also cussing!

"He’s just an unwanted wild seed, yet he dares to be so arrogant!"

"Exactly, exactly."

"A jinx, caused his mom’s and grandma’s death, anybody close to him is cursed!"

"Right, right, we won’t play with him! This jinx should leave our village early!"

She glanced over at the group, and with that one look, she saw Gu Zhengming, who was being bullied.

At that moment, her eyes reddened, and without caring for anything else, she picked up a branch and dashed towards the group.

"Back off, don’t you dare bully him!"

At this time, Tong Xi’s mother also stepped forward.

The boys, seeing that Gu Zhengming had support, scattered.

Tong Xi saw Gu Zhengming’s face was wounded, and his clothes were in disarray, with the sleeves torn by the others.

At that moment, Gu Zhengming looked like a wounded little animal. He raised his head to look at Tong Xi, his eyes slightly narrowed, a flash of light passing through his gaze, but then it turned cold.

He got up, not saying a word, and walked towards the distance, his figure so lonely and desolate.

Tong Xi felt sad and caught up with him, "Gu Zhengming, I’m Tong Xi, don’t you recognize me?"

As she spoke, she reached out to pull on his sleeve, but Gu Zhengming shook off her hand.

"Don’t touch me!"

He left without looking back.

Tong Xi stood there, dazed, her heart feeling indescribable.

After returning to her grandmother’s house, Tong Xi started rummaging through drawers for a first aid kit, pulling out alcohol wipes and adhesive bandages.

Her grandmother asked, "What are you looking for those for?"

"On the way back, we saw Gu Zhengming being bullied by others! He also got hurt."

The grandmother sighed, "That child is unlucky, originally without a father and his mother died too. Old Lady Liu had to take her grandson back, but this winter, Old Lady Liu passed away as well! Everyone in the village says that child is a jinx! His uncle is also of the age to get married, but which girl would marry into this family? So, when his uncle gets drunk, he takes out his anger on the little one..."

There, the first aid kit Tong Xi was holding dropped to the floor with a clatter.
