Chapter 1384 The Big Brother in My Memory

Dad sneered and said, "It's not the bats' turn. At night, the tigers in the zoo will be released to stroll through the botanical gardens and eat some lost children."

Cheng Xiaoyu was only seven or eight years old at the time. After hearing these words, he was very scared and shivered in the hammock.

Logically, she should stop crying, catch up with her parents, and go home obediently.

But she was stubborn. She wiped her tears and shouted, "Let the tiger eat me, let the bat peck my eyes! I'm not afraid!"

In the end, my parents left without even looking back.

Cheng Xiaoyu hugged her knees and huddled in the hammock, watching the sun set and the sky getting darker.

The tourists left one after another. In the distance, two beams of light flickered. They were the flashlights of the patrolling security guards in the park, but Cheng Xiaoyu thought it was the zoo manager, leading the tiger out to eat children.

She broke out in a cold sweat, but she refused to leave, and she didn't dare to leave.

She didn't believe that her parents really abandoned her.

Time passed minute by minute, and no one came to look for her. She was not even discovered by the patrolling security guards.

The birds in the tree flapped their wings, flying from one branch to another, making rustling and fluttering sounds. Was it a bat coming to peck her eyes?

Finally, the fear reached its limit.

She burst into tears.

I walked out of the park along the dark path while crying, but I got lost again.

Fortunately, I met a kind older brother who said to me, "Little boy, why are you crying?"

Cheng Xiaoyu said: "I'm looking for my mother."

The older brother said, "Your mother doesn't want you anymore?"

Cheng Xiaoyu sobbed as she talked to her elder brother and managed to make the matter clear.

She wanted to sleep in the hammock, but her parents wouldn't let her. She cried and made her father angry. Now her parents don't want her anymore and want to feed her to the tiger!

The older brother smiled, bent down slightly, rubbed her head, and said, "Where's your hammock?"

Cheng Xiaoyu pointed into the woods: "It's still there."

"I'll help you pack your things first, then I'll take you to your parents, okay?"

Then Cheng Xiaoyu followed the big brother back to the hammock. The big brother asked her to help hold the flashlight. He first helped her fold the hammock, picked up the water bottle she dropped on the ground, slung it over her shoulder, then took her hand and walked towards the park gate.

Along the way, the older brother told her about the habits of bats and told her not to be afraid, saying that even if she encountered a bat, it would not specifically peck her eyes.

The older brother also told her a lot of interesting knowledge about plants, which finally made her less afraid.

She couldn't help but ask her older brother, "Brother, why didn't you go home? Where are your parents? Don't they want you anymore?"

The older brother didn't say anything, and Cheng Xiaoyu tugged at his hand.

"Brother, why don't you speak?"

He pointed ahead and asked, "Is that your mom and dad?"

Cheng Xiaoyu looked in the direction of his finger and saw his parents standing at the fork in the road. His father's face was darker than the night, but his mother had a smile on her face as she walked towards them.

The mother smiled and said to the older brother, "Thank you, young man."

"You're welcome." The older brother said, letting go of Cheng Xiaoyu's hand and smiling at her, "Little girl, I'm leaving now."

"Goodbye, brother!"

The older brother rubbed her head and left along the path alone.

Later, Cheng Xiaoyu found out that her parents had deliberately scared her that day in order to cure her bad habit.

In fact, they didn't go far at all, and deliberately asked the park staff to leave them alone.

After so many years, none of that matters anymore.

The important thing was that there was a big hammock hanging right in front of her, and she was eager to try it out.

This hammock looks very comfortable, I really want to sit on it.

But her hand was still held by Mr. Shi beside her. Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the big boss cautiously, feeling that he still minded the fact that she and Yan Hao were engaged.

She shook Mr. Shi's hand: "Mr. Shi, can I go play in the hammock?"
