Shaoyuan was just a child. Even though he was bright and precocious, he had still not been exposed to the filth and depravity of the adult world. Despite the gaps in his family life, the people around him had provided him with a happy and healthy childhood and living environment.
So when the man threw him to the ground and leaned over to begin undressing him, Shaoyuan had no idea what the man intended to do to him. But he still hated it, thinking perhaps the man wanted to beat him, or even kill him.
He had no understanding of how vile and obscene the man's every action toward him really was.
Even though he was just a child, when faced with relentless resistance, adults could sometimes struggle to subdue him. This made the man angry, and he lifted his hand and slapped Shaoyuan hard across the face. Before Shaoyuan could cry out in pain, Qiqi spoke up, her voice full of distress:
"Brother Yuan! Don't hurt Brother Yuan, you're not allowed to hit Brother Yuan."
