Chapter 1497: Chapter 836: Standing Up for the Younger Brother_2

He didn’t even know what he was saying anymore; he was in complete panic.

But as soon as he saw Crescent Moon say nothing, Baldy became even more frantic, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"If I meant what I said, I’d be struck by lightning. I’m swearing to you right here, so there’s no way I meant it."

"Do you think what I said is right? You mustn’t stop looking at me, if you don’t look at me, how can I talk to you?"

"Just give me the antidote, after all, I did soothe your daughter for you. Even if I didn’t make a contribution, I did work hard."

I gave all the candy to the little girl just now. No matter what, I still need the candy.

But he didn’t keep any candy and gave it all away in an instant.

Thinking about it now really makes me feel heartbroken; it was a huge sacrifice.

But it was for the antidote, how could I possibly not feel willing to give it up?

Yet, after all that hustle, to end up with nothing, it’s really unacceptable.

Baldy’s eyebrows were also tightly knit together.

Never once did they relax.

Crescent Moon witnessed this scene but didn’t even blink.

Throughout, she maintained a silent expression, not even fluttering her eyelids, let alone giving any response.

Qin Yuan could tell Baldy was very anxious, but he said nothing.

He knew that Crescent Moon was just toying with Baldy here.

That’s why he didn’t speak up.

If it were something serious, he would have spoken up immediately, not waiting here for so long.

At that moment, Black Bear finally couldn’t bear it anymore and began to say.

"Crescent Moon, you shouldn’t do this, you know he’s been thinking of trusting you all along, even giving away all his candy."

"You should give Baldy the antidote. Besides, Baldy was just a little out of sorts, that’s why he said what he did."

"In reality, he doesn’t think that way. He believes you’re still trustworthy, it was just panic that made him speak that way."

Baldy was indeed too panicked, which is why he said those things.

But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give him the antidote.

This wouldn’t be fair to Baldy, and even less fair to us; in any case, we don’t want to see this happen.

At that moment, Black Bear added another line.

"You shouldn’t blame him, he’s not such a person, and he tends to run his mouth. But he doesn’t mean any harm."

Baldy was just speaking out of panic.

There was no malice to be heard in his words, no malice at all.

So why can’t you choose to forgive him?

Any normal person would choose to forgive.

Black Bear was feeling indignantly dissatisfied in his heart.

Crescent Moon heard all this without a hint of reaction on her face, not even a blink.

It all seemed a very cold attitude.

But then she glanced at Qin Yuan in the midst of this.

They all caught this in their view.

Why does Crescent Moon keep looking at Big Brother?

Could it be that she’s in cahoots with him?

That shouldn’t be the case.

Such a man of principle as Big Brother wouldn’t collude with Crescent Moon.

No matter what, they chose to believe in Big Brother’s character.

So they really haven’t been suspicious of Qin Yuan.

Baldy was originally just hoping to see any response from Crescent Moon.

But after a long wait, there was still no sign of her wanting to speak.

His patience had truly run out completely, and he immediately moved in front of Crescent Moon.

Baldy kept staring intensely at Crescent Moon, wishing he could bore a hole into her with his gaze.

But in the end, he let go of the thought of starting a fight and chose to speak in a gentle and soft tone instead.

"Crescent, if there’s anything about me that you’re unhappy with, you can tell me directly. I will change. It won’t happen again for you to feel this way."

"I might lack other talents, but I am truly sincere about correcting my mistakes. Just say the word, and I will mend my ways for sure."

"There won’t be any problems at all, so I think you should give me a chance to make things right again, only you can give me that chance."

As these words landed, Crescent instantly felt a pang of sorrow, so she took a deep breath and did not say much thereafter. She felt somewhat dissatisfied.

After all, so much had been said.

If I don’t express everything I intend to, then all this effort will have been in vain.

Thus, the bald man reassured himself, his voice growing firmer with each word.

"I can only realize my faults if you point them out. If you don’t tell me, I will always be unaware, living in a muddle."

"Was it because my tone was too excited just now? Actually, I didn’t mean to target you specifically; I was upset because the antidote was almost within our grasp."

"But then it slipped away after twists and turns, and I couldn’t accept it, so I blabbered on and on. If you think this aspect of me is unacceptable..."

At this point, the bald man’s face showed utter panic.

His brows furrowed tightly, and he even let out a heavy sigh.

The man seemed dispirited, even pointing to his own face.

𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

He went on to talk nonstop.

"Then go ahead and hit me. I am willing to accept your reproach and even your insults; after all, I am a man who can admit his mistakes."

"If I have done something wrong, I should be able to rise to the occasion and admit it, and certainly accept the punishment."

"Do you think I’m right? As long as you think what I said is just, go ahead and punish me straight away."

As long as Crescent’s anger subsides, anything is fine, because only then can we successfully obtain the antidote.

This antidote is indeed critical for them, but they had all chosen to remain silent.

Only he was talking; the thought was indeed very disheartening.

The bald man sighed once more.

He looked rather downhearted.

Qin Yuan felt it was about time, so he spoke up directly.

"Right, since the bald man has sincerely apologized to you here, why not just give them the antidote now?"

"There’s no need to escalate things any further. Besides, everyone gets to know each other through such experiences; it’s time to get along well."

"Moreover, they have been waiting here for quite some time. The antidote should indeed be administered to them, we cannot fail to honor our promises."

Having said that, Qin Yuan’s eyes conveyed a hint of intimidation.

Crescent was intimidated by Qin Yuan’s demeanor.

But then Crescent cleared her throat right away.

"I didn’t expect you, as their elder brother, to start standing up for your little brothers."

Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, you’ve already called me the elder brother, so who else should I support if not my own brothers? Although you and I are friends..."p>

"...I am here offering gentle persuasion, not bearing arms against you. I think we need to have a proper chat."

"So, what do you think about my proposal? Are you going to respond with action or shall we have another talk? The choice is yours."

After these words, Qin Yuan averted his gaze.

But still, he glanced at them once more.

What he saw on their faces was shock and more shock.

Yet quickly, expressions of joy emerged.

It seems that his words did surprise them pleasantly.

As long as the surprise is there, that’s what matters.

Fear did not serve any purpose after all.

At that moment, Qin Yuan subtly curled the corner of his lips, then looked at Crescent.

Though he said nothing, his eyes said it all; he was waiting for Crescent’s response.

Crescent was now engulfed in silence.

But the bald man standing by slightly widened his eyes, his face showing extreme astonishment.

"Elder brother, you’ve actually stood up for me here. You are truly the best; I will follow your commands wholeheartedly."
