Lawless Gangster

Chapter 27

Hi everyone! I had such a long weekend. So not ready to drag myself back to work T.T I just need some loving between these two guy *huhuhuhu* The plot picks up really fast after this. It's going to be BAM BAM BAM. [there's 79 chapters but 5-8 chapters epilogue] But, I feel like it has been speeding by all along hahaha. *grabs tissues* I'm always feeling sad for both of them, it's always one thing after the other. 

Thank you for reading enjoying the start of a journey with my boys:

Qi Xiu Yuan & Xiao Li (๑˃̶͈̀ ᵕ ॣ˂̶͈́)*｡̀ ̫ ｡́)ॢ)

《不法之徒》

"My mom likes to hug me like this."

After a long time, Xiao Li suddenly spoke. This time, his voice was more distinct as the warmth took over. The darkness looming around them seemed to have softhearted him, taking away all of his misgivings.

"When she was sixteen, she gave birth to me. At that time, she didn't know anything and it didn't help that her temperament made her useless and annoying. In order to support the two of us, she became a prostitute. Sometimes, when she returned after being wronged, she liked to hug me like this for a while." He paused for a moment as if thinking his thoughts through before slowly saying, "Afterwards the leader of a gang appeared and was willing to her under his wings, so she stayed with him for several years. By that time, she had already gone insane. Once she was unable to be a prostitute any longer, she started to became his procurer [1]. Who knew what she was thinking at that time, she even took me to the place she was staking around. Then she would say proudly to herself, 'Xiao Li, look at how impressive mom is right now at this place......' she was truly a fool. Who would show off this kind of place to their own son......"

Qi Xiu Yuan could only feel a few drops of warm tears dripped on his shoulder. As the cold breeze pass by, he couldn't help but to stretch his hands out and lightly pat Xiao Li's back as to console him.

Xiao Li stiffened all of a sudden as if he suddenly felt resentment towards Qi Xiu Yuan's hug, but it was also as if he had remembered all the bad things that had happened to him in the past. Ultimately, he lowered his voice even more, saying, "When I was fifteen, the leader that she worked for, saw me. He went to talk to her, saying he wanted me to keep him company. She disapproved immediately and had even said some wrong words that provoke and make that gang leader mad. In the end, she fought with one of the subordinate and was pushed down a staircase. On the night of that day, she died."

To say that it was shock that welled up inside Qi Xiu Yuan wouldn't sufficiently describe his current emotion. He was struck by countless bolts that traveled into the core of his body and wrung his heart tighter than it had ever been. Feeling the slight trembles that consumed the person in his arms, he tightened his hold on him; it was as if, only by doing this could he convey even the most insignificant form of comfort to the other person.

Xiao Li's voice went silent for a long while.

It was only when Qi Xiu Yuan felt his own shoulder entirely drenched did Xiao Li started to speak again.

"Afterwards, that gang leader brought the subordinate that had pushed her down those stairs to my house. In front of my mother's memorial tablet, he made that subordinate stab himself three times as an apology. When his blood flowed to the ground, Xiao Yang was so scared, he cried for a longest time......he paid us with his subordinate's life and gave us money. Every day, he would come and see us and he'd even helped Xiao Yang enter a good school. I knew the meaning behind his actions, I was afraid, soon or later I won't be able to escape so without any better option, I went to look for him. I told him, I was willing to be his subordinate in order to repay his kindness, but anything else I couldn't. He......he......I pulled out a knife and drag it along my face. At first, I wanted to cut along the center of my face, but he suddenly blocked me and the knife slid the other way and became like how it is now. When he saw that the situation had turned out that way, he could only agree to what I had told him."
