Chapter 26
Feeling Stifled Even Through the Screen

Lin Fan had just returned to the courtyard and hadn't even had the chance to put down his backpack.

He was completely bewildered by A Bao's actions.

What was with that pitiful expression?

Had it been wronged?

That couldn't be, he had left the courtyard in perfectly good spirits today.

Had it really been just half a day, and already it had been wronged?

“A Bao, wait a moment, let me put down my backpack first.”

Lin Fan was still thinking of putting his backpack down inside before figuring out what had happened.

However, A Bao clung tightly to his leg and wouldn't let go.

“Ying ying...” (Hit, hit the monkey.)

???

Lin Fan was filled with questions.

What was going on?

Hit the monkey?

It was saying it wanted to hit the monkey as soon as he returned?

And with that pitiful look on A Bao's face, it seemed like it had suffered a great injustice.

Could it be that something really significant had happened while he was away for just half a day?

Thinking of this, Lin Fan asked,

“What happened? Why do you want to hit the monkey?”

“Ying ying...” (They bullied me.)

As soon as the monkey was mentioned, A Bao clearly recalled the scene of being hit by the golden monkey today.

It stretched out its chubby paw, gesturing, looking up with its small eyes filled with a plea for help.

That little expression was so pitiful.

The more Lin Fan listened, the more confused he became.

From A Bao's description, he roughly understood that A Bao had been bullied by a monkey.

But he couldn't grasp the specific details.

How could a monkey bully A Bao?

Could it be that a monkey had broken into the courtyard?

No, everything inside the house and in the courtyard seemed normal.

Seeing Lin Fan's puzzled expression, A Bao became so anxious that it started rolling on the ground.

The viewers in the live stream burst into laughter.

“Pfft! Haha, A Bao just wishes it could talk to explain what happened today!”

“A Bao: Family, I was bullied and can't express it, who understands this kind of frustration?”

“I'm dying of laughter! It really is a case of suffering in silence! A Bao can't even find a savior!”

“I can feel its frustration through the screen! Being bullied by the golden monkey is already frustrating, and now it can't even speak about it!”

“Let Lin Fan watch the live replay, the stream has a recording function, that way everything will be clear!”

...

This barrage of comments reminded Lin Fan.

He immediately started watching the live replay.

What exactly had happened today that made A Bao feel so wronged?

However, after watching the replay, Lin Fan was instantly stunned!

A Bao had actually been tormented by a group of golden monkeys in a kite-flying manner!

There was completely no room for resistance.

It had all the strength but could only passively take the hits.

No wonder A Bao looked like it had suffered a great injustice.

Watching the replay, A Bao's helplessly silly expression made Lin Fan unable to hold back his laughter.

Seeing this, A Bao immediately got angry and turned its back on him.

Its round body faced away from Lin Fan.

Lin Fan held back his laughter,

“Alright, alright, I know what happened! It's just that you were bullied by the golden monkeys, what's the big deal?”

A Bao was still sulking, still facing away from Lin Fan.

The viewers in the live stream were filled with joy.

“A Bao's little temper! It's just too cute! I want to adopt one!”

“A Bao: Don't I have any dignity? Even though you're my master, you can't laugh at me!”

“Apologize! Master, you must apologize! Otherwise, I'm running away from home!”

“Having already been wronged, and now being laughed at by the master! I can't stay in this house anymore, A Bao, come to my house! I promise not to laugh at you, and I'll make sure you have plenty of apples!”

......

Lin Fan put down his backpack, holding back his laughter,

“Don't be angry, don't you want to take revenge?”

As soon as A Bao heard the words “take revenge,” it immediately turned around,

“Ying ying...” (Learn, learn skills, hit, hit the monkey.)

Its small eyes were filled with desire.

“If you want to get back at the monkeys, it's very easy! You don't need to learn any skills.”

Lin Fan comforted A Bao.

What he said was the truth.

With the wrestling moves A Bao currently mastered, dealing with monkeys was more than enough.

It could even be said to be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

The only problem now was that the golden monkeys wouldn't confront A Bao directly; they only did aerial attacks.

Of course, these aerial attacks couldn't hurt A Bao at all.

It was just frustrating to be passively hit.

As long as they solved the ground-to-air issue, the golden monkeys would have to kneel and sing “Conquer” to A Bao.

Upon hearing this, A Bao became excited and clung to Lin Fan, wanting to go out and find the golden monkeys.

Lin Fan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry,

“Can't you see what time it is! It's almost dark! Let's go tomorrow!”

A Bao still wanted to roll on the ground and act cute, but unfortunately, Lin Fan was resolute.

There was no choice; it could only wait until tomorrow.

The viewers in the live stream were instantly amazed,

“Wow! Lin Fan actually told A Bao that getting back at the golden monkeys is easy? I don't quite believe it!”

“I don't believe it either! Ground-to-air is inherently at a disadvantage! Even if Lin Fan intervenes, it won't work, right? As long as the golden monkeys don't come down, you can't do anything to them!”

“They definitely won't come down! Do you think the monkey king is that stupid? Just look at how the monkey group coordinated today, they're incredibly smart!”

“Come on! The betting has started! Will A Bao be able to reclaim its status as the treasure brother tomorrow? Or will it continue to be pelted by the monkey group?”

“I bet a pack of spicy strips that A Bao will still be tormented by the golden monkeys!”
