Heroic Death System

Chapter 36 (Arc 4)

Let Me Protect You (IV)

Shang Ke and Feng Juan's stature were comparably smaller compared to their peers, in addition to their eastern features, they couldn't avoid being "bullied" by the other children when they joined the elementary school. However, although Shang Ke's right leg was not too nimble, handling those fwe children was still easy enough. He used but a few days to subdue those brats that had nothing better to do but look for trouble, even the teacher wasn't alarmed.

Fran Elementary education was very easy, there was quite a bit of free time which Shang Ke used to think about computer things.

The Ferrg couple (the foster family) heard they wanted to buy a computer and immediately prepared to take them to Computer City.

Shang Ke said, "Mr. Ferrg, I want to earn money and buy it myself."

Mr. Ferrg asked with a smile, "How are you planning to earn money?"

"I saw a violin in the study yesterday." Shang Ke used a gaze full of anticipation to look at him, "Mr. Fergg, can you let me borrow that violin? I want to do a performance in the park."

"Oh?" Mr. Ferrg was a bit surprised now, "You can play the violin?"

Shang Ke shyly nodded his head.

"Alright, let me hear it. If you play well, then I will let you go." Mr. Ferrg took out his violin in high spirits and handed it to Shang Ke.

Shang Ke tested the sound then stood perfectly straight and bowed to the Ferrg couple and Feng Juan. His noble-like manner made it felt like this was his personal musical performance, everyone watching felt very happy.

Shang Ke place the violin under his chin and the bow on the strings and started to play a fast-beat children song with much skill.

Amazement flashed through Mr. Ferrg's eyes, he didn't expect that this child could really play the violin, and he actually played very well. His violin wasn't some kind of famous brand, but in this child's hands, a touching and ample melody sounded from it.

After his performance was over, Mr. Ferrg agreed to his request without any hesitation. After that, he would take them to the park every afternoon until they earned enough money to buy a computer.

Feng Juan watched quietly by the side the entire time, his gaze heavy.

Shang Ke was always so dazzling, so multi-talented. Compare to him, he had no good points at all.

In the park, Shang Ke ended his last song amidst all the applause and turned his head back to see Feng Juan's frustrated appearance.

He handed the violin and today's earning to Mr. Ferrg and said, "Mr. Ferrg, I want to stay at the park a little longer with Ian today."

Mr. Ferrg looked at Feng Juan and his eyes became somewhat understanding. He nodded, "Be careful, don't come back too late."

After Mr. Ferrg left, Shang Ke dragged Feng Juan to sit on a bench in the park in asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Feng Juan pursed his mouth, his expression lonely.

"Juan Juan." Shang Ke looked at him, seriously saying, "We are brothers, family and should be frank with each other. If you aren't happy, then I won't be happy either."

Feng Juan raised his head and met a pair a of bright eyes. On Shang Ke's forehead were beads of sweat that glinted under the sunset and seem to contain some kind of vitality.

Feng Juan felt a bit ashamed of his own inferiority before the dazzling him.

"Ke Ke, am I not very useless?" Feng Juan's voice was downcasted, "You were always the one to protect me, take care of me. Now, you can even earn money by yourself while I can only watch. I can't do anything."
