Chapter 88 Starlight in the Dark

Shen Xiao felt a little dizzy due to excessive blood loss, and for a moment he didn't react to what Xingxing was saying.

People always become overly irritable when they are extremely tired and in pain.

His brows were tightly furrowed, his breathing was disordered, and his tone was cold and hard:

"I don't know what you are talking about. Now that you are awake, follow me."

Xingxing was stunned when she heard this.

She felt extremely aggrieved and had been holding back tears, and now this made her want to cry even more.

With tears in her big eyes, Xingxing tried hard to suppress her tears in her baby voice so that her words could be more clear:

"Brother, these, these are useful for you to use, otherwise it will be dangerous!"

At the end of his speech, his face was covered with tears and left streaks of dust.

It looks so pitiful and cute.

Shen Xiao was stunned for a few seconds, then he looked at the pile of things belatedly.

Are these all what he needs?

Xingxing saw that her brother had noticed it, and she didn't care about the grievance.

I ran over immediately and brought back a roll of unopened gauze:

"Brother, your wound hurts. Use this first."

Shen Xiao took it in confusion.

The child didn't seem tired. He took the disinfectant and held it up to show Shen Xiao:

"And this!"

Shen Xiao's hand holding the gauze suddenly tightened.

My brain, which was confused by the pain, suddenly became clear at this moment.

Then a boiling bitterness welled up in my heart.

"How do you know I was injured?" he asked in a sharp hoarse voice.

Xingxing's eyes were filled with tears, but she hadn't cried out loud until now:

"What the stars see...Brother, hurry up, it hurts!"

Shen Xiao's Adam's apple rolled up and down.

She looked like she didn't care about her own grievances at all, she only cared about the pain he was in.

He always felt that he was used to these injuries.

Although it's a little serious this time, it should be fine if it can last until the evening.

Having walked alone in the darkness for too long, he had long since felt that he had no sense of light.

But suddenly I saw a little star.

For a moment, he had the urge to follow this starlight forever.

Shen Xiao said nothing and unbuttoned the coat that was pressing on the wound.

Half of the coat was soaked with blood.

There was no deep red blood stain on the black vest inside, but it was still tightly stuck to the wound.

He tore off a piece of gauze and stuffed it into his mouth.

While clenching his teeth tightly, he pulled hard with both hands -

"Hmm."

There was an inaudible cry of pain in the throat, and the eye sockets were physiologically moist for a moment.

The cloth was tightly stuck to the half-solidified wound and he tore it apart.

The wound tore open again, and blood gushed out.

He poured half of the iodine on the wound, and poured the remaining half on the gauze, pressing it tightly on the wound.

After all the movements, a thin layer of sweat appeared on my forehead.

He separated a little bit of reason from the severe pain and looked at the stars.

Only then did I realize that even though I had my back to the child, she could still see me treating the wound.

Shen Xiao spit out the gauze in his mouth and curled his lips towards Xing Xing;

"It's okay. It doesn't hurt."

Tears were swirling wildly in Xingxing's big eyes.

The next second after Shen Xiao said it didn't hurt, she finally couldn't help it and burst into tears!

"Woo, woo, woo!"

Grievance, sadness, heartache, and guilt all came flooding back.

"Xingxing, no, I didn't protect my brother well..."

Xingxing hadn't cried for a long time, and this time she cried particularly hard.

Shen Xiao healed his wound as quickly as possible, squatted down, curled his fingertips, and hugged Xingxing.

This was the first time he actually hugged her.

It was also the first hug in his life.

The movements are extremely unfamiliar.

The child was soft and small, and he was afraid that he would hurt him if he used the slightest force.

Shen Xiao patted Xingxing's back gently and said in a hoarse voice:

"Don't cry, sweetheart, it's my fault."

Xingxing was crying and hiccuping.

He threw himself forward and lay directly on Shen Xiao's shoulder.

The child cried so hard that his heart was broken.

Shen Xiao's body froze and he dared not move.

Lowering his head, he saw faint red marks on the child's body.

He glanced at the pile of junk beside him, and the emotions in his heart became strangely intense, his throat choked slightly, and his chest ached.

My fingertips couldn't help but lightly touch the mark, but I didn't dare to touch it further.

He didn't know why, but his brain suddenly clicked and he blew gently, imitating what Xingxing had done before.

The stars' tears come and go quickly.

Being close to my brother, it seems that no matter how many grievances I have, they will disappear quickly.

After crying for a while, I don’t want to cry anymore.

Although my brother was fierce before, he hugs me now.

Xingxing wiped her tears vigorously and crawled out of Shen Xiao's arms.

Shen Xiao looked down and chuckled:

"Little cat."

Xingxing can't see himself, so naturally he doesn't know how much he looks like a tortoiseshell kitten now.

Her little face was covered in dust and tears, which she was now wiping aside.

Xingxing only knew that her brother smiled! It was the first time she saw her brother smile!

For some reason, Xingxing felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

The emotionally stable child collapsed for a moment and then revived with full health, especially after seeing his brother's wounds bandaged.

It was her first time hugging her third brother, and she was a little shy.

The little cat smiled coyly, hugged Shen Xiao's neck, and whispered in his ear:

"Brother is so nice."

Shen Xiao was confused.

What's so good about him? He has always been so mean to children.

Before Shen Xiao could understand Xingxing's train of thought, Xingxing crawled out of his arms again.

Xingxing ran to the bulletproof vest and hugged it tightly.

The bulletproof vest was so heavy that the child had a hard time holding it, and his body swayed like a little penguin.

The next second, Shen Xiao took it from her.

There was a hint of surprise in his sharp eyes:

"Where did you find it?"

Xingxing pointed to the pile of junk over there, still a little proud:

"I found it there! Give it to you, brother! Use it!"

She knew her brother would be in great danger next, so she would definitely use it!

Shen Xiao stared at the stars for a while, then curled his lips and smiled:

"Come with me first."

Xingxing wondered: "Where are we going?"

Shen Xiao: "Go to a safer place."

He squatted in front of the stars again.

This time he didn't hold her by the fingers, but held her little butt with his big hands and picked her up.

This is how it should be when you hold a child, right?

He looked at Xingxing's expression and saw that the child didn't seem to be feeling unwell, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he walked to the bedside and looked down at Mianmian, who had her eyes tightly closed:

"Don't pretend to be asleep. Follow me."

Frightened to death, Mianmian continued to pretend to be dead.

But Shen Xiao didn't want to care about this child. Seeing that Mianmian didn't react, he turned around and left.

"Then you stay here alone."

Mianmian was so scared that she rolled off the bed and followed Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao arranged Xingxing and the others in a room at the edge.

And inform the headquarters of the location, so that they can rush in and take the two children out first.

Give priority to the cuter one.

"Okay." Shen Xiao put Xingxing on the bed and touched the child's head:

"Stars, sleep well. When you wake up, you can go home."

The stars suddenly grasped his fingertips, and even in the early morning, the starry eyes were still clear:

"Are you going home with your brother?"

Shen Xiao nodded: "Of course."

Xingxing was relieved and rubbed Shen Xiao's palm happily: "Okay~"

The soft and warm feeling penetrated from the palm of his hand to his heart.

"Be good." His voice was so low and gentle that he didn't even realize it.

Xingxing was too tired and fell asleep quickly.

When the child finally began to breathe steadily, Shen Xiao stood up and his eyes dimmed.

Instead of putting the bulletproof vest on himself, he covered Xingxing with it and tied it with a thin sheet.

Then, he strode out.
