133 Do I Have to Forgive You Just Because You Apologized?
He Xing, who was called a good-for-nothing, was speechless. He did not interfere because Du Yue did not like others interfering in her affairs. No matter if she was threatened or provoked by others, Du Yue would always return the favor on the spot. Him standing by and watching was the greatest support for Du Yue, and it was also what Du Yue liked.
How did he become a piece of trash in the mouth of those two scumbags?
He Xing walked over unhurriedly and looked at Du Yue, saying pitifully, “You heard it. They were the ones who scolded me first. It’s not that I want to interfere in your business.”
Du Yue almost laughed at his aggrieved expression. She looked at him and asked, “How do you plan to deal with them?”
“Since they only know how to talk nonsense, then I’ll pull out their tongues.” He Xing’s tone was flat as if he was chatting with Du Yue about what they were having for dinner. “And those hands of theirs. Since they like to snatch other people’s things so much, let’s cut them off and throw them into the forest to feed the wolves.”
Du Yue nodded. “It’s up to you. However, they keep saying that they found the wild boars first. I don’t like to take advantage of others, so I must return these boars to them. When you cut off their tongues and arms later, try to make the cut as big as possible. If they lose more blood, we might be able to lure the wild boars back and return them to these guys.”
Hearing the two of them say such terrible things in such a calm tone, Pan Lili, who was standing beside them, was terrified. “How dare you two… hurt people?”
Du Yue looked at her when she heard that. “We’re in the wilderness. No one will know if we hurt them, right? But you’re right. If we only hurt them, it’ll be troublesome if they go back and talk nonsense. So we’ll just kill them.”
“…Don’t be so impulsive.” Pan Lili’s eyes were filled with tears. “I already said that they were forced to do this. Do you really have to be so unforgiving?”
“There are three issues here. Why do I have to forgive you just because you apologized? What were they thinking when they were scolding my man earlier? And it’s only now that you’re pointing out their mistakes? It’s too late. Besides, which law allows you to rob others just because you were forced to?”
“But… you already have so many wild boars. Even if you give them one, it won’t affect you much!”
“No matter the number, they’re all mine. Whether we split the boars or not, that’s also up to me. I didn’t want to give them any, but they wanted to snatch one from me. Just cutting off their hands is already a light punishment.” Du Yue turned to He Xing and saw that he was still standing there. She frowned. “What are you waiting for?”
He Xing’s eyes were a little unfocused as if his soul had been hooked away by something. It was only when he heard Du Yue’s urging that he came back to his senses and looked at Du Yue. Their eyes met, and Du Yue could not help but frown. He Xing’s eyes were so beautiful that Du Yue could often see stars in his dark eyes.
Now, however, Du Yue felt that He Xing’s gaze was inexplicably strange. “Why are you in a daze?”
Before He Xing could say anything, his eyes curved into crescents. “It’s nothing. The weather is nice today. I suddenly don’t feel like seeing their blood anymore, especially their blood. It’s dirty.”
Du Yue was dumbfounded. ‘Buddy, we just killed a bunch of wild boars, and now there are carcasses everywhere. Have you suddenly become a kind person?’
He Xing did not explain further to Du Yue. Instead, he looked at the other three people standing next to him. “Who’s the captain?”
One of them took a step forward. “I’m the captain. My name is Dong Siming.”
“Your team members did something wrong. As the leader, aren’t you going to explain?”
Dong Siming laughed self-deprecatingly. “We’re a temporary team. I’m the team leader in name, but in reality, I don’t have any right to speak. No matter what I say, they won’t listen to me. If they do something wrong, they have to face the consequences themselves. I won’t stand up for them.”
Dong Siming’s answer surprised Du Yue and He Xing, but Pan Lili was even more surprised. Pan Lili’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Captain! Captain! You can’t do this! Although they usually have their own ideas and opinions, as a team, there’s nothing wrong with us seeking common ground while reserving differences, right? Now that they’re in trouble, you can’t be a coward!”
“Why not? Why should I be their scapegoat?” Dong Siming interrupted Pan Lili’s words. “Lili, I’ve said it before, right? Since we’re a group, no matter what you do, you have to consider whether your actions will cause trouble for everyone. Don’t always think that you can get away by lowering your head and shedding a tear when you’ve done something wrong. Not everyone will be magnanimous and forgive you. And don’t think that just because I’m the captain, I should be following behind you and cleaning up your mess after you do something wrong!”
