It took Ji Mian a long time to realize that the boss might be healing him?

After all, when he was in kindergarten in the summer, he saw Fu Chenyu using salt water popsicles to cool down wounds.

This is his life experience in just five years.

In other words... the boss cares about him?

Ji Mian was so frightened that he almost thought that Ji Weiguo's slap had knocked him unconscious.

Otherwise, why would he start having such an outrageous and strange dream in broad daylight?

Fu Chenyu's hands were no longer cold, and he was ready to stick them into the snow pile again and do the same thing.

However, Ji Mian didn't dare to let the boss heal his injuries, as it would shorten his lifespan. He still wanted to live a few more years.

Fu Chenyu's hands were frozen red, and Ji Mian hurriedly stopped him.

After holding it in for a long time, he said in a baby voice, "It doesn't hurt."

In order to make it seem like he wasn't concerned about Fu Chenyu, Ji Mian quickly added, "Your hands are frozen, so you can't help me with my homework."

Fu Chenyu remembered the deal between them and nodded seriously.

Other than that, he seemed to have nothing to say to Ji Mian.

He remembered that Ji Mian was a little mute who was not very smart.

Fu Chenyu looked at Ji Mian again, took out a White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket, opened Ji Mian's hand, and placed it in his palm.

He remembered that when Ji Weiguo gave Ji Mian candy just now, Ji Mian refused to take it.

But he clearly likes candy.

Ji Mian accepted the boss's candy with trepidation, not understanding what he meant.

Is it like giving a candy and then hitting with a stick?

Of course, he was curious but didn't dare to ask, so he could only silently accept Fu Chenyu's kindness.

Lin Minzhi finished washing the dishes and saw Ji Mian and Fu Chenyu coming back from outside.

She exclaimed in her heart, and when the two children went out to play, her bad mood disappeared.

It seems that his son really likes Fu Chenyu. With a playmate, perhaps his autism will get better faster.

Fu Chenyu's home was in the next building, and the room was locked tightly by the nanny. Lin Minzhi didn't have the key and couldn't open the lock, so she had to leave Fu Chenyu at home temporarily.

She wiped her hands clean, squatted down, and asked Fu Chenyu's opinion: "Xiao Chen, your family is locked up. Would you like to spend the Spring Festival at your aunt's house this year? Mianmian is also at home. How about letting him play with you?"

Lin Minzhi felt sorry for the child.

Fu Chenyu is only five years old and can't eat much.

The house is small, but there is also not much space for the child to sleep. Lin Minzhi can't let the child continue to sleep in the snow.

Fu Chenyu stared at Lin Minzhi, depressed and didn't say anything for a long time.

He secretly calculated in his mind how much he could eat in a day and how much money Aunt Lin would spend, and a huge sense of guilt enveloped him.

Living under someone else's roof twisted Fu Chenyu's young and immature self-esteem into a ball.

Lin Minzhi didn't force him, but just smiled and went to prepare dinner.

In the afternoon, the courtyard became lively again.

Yang Chaoying and her family came back. Ji Mian heard the noise and immediately pricked up his ears alertly.

Fu Chenyu sat quietly on the stool, and Ji Mian's actions caught his attention.

The first time he observed other children since that incident, Ji Mian looked dull and clumsy, like a slow-witted rabbit.

"Chaoying, didn't you go visit relatives? Why are you back today?"

Yang Chaoying smiled and said, "Hi, I came back in the middle of the night last night. My husband had something to do at the factory. None of the workers knew how to do it, so the boss had to ask him for help."

"Oh Chaoying, your husband is really awesome! Did he drive back?"

Yang Chaoying couldn't hide the smugness on her face: "Luckily I bought a car, otherwise I don't know what I would do."

"Tsk tsk, that's the style of a young boss."

"It's better for you to marry someone!"

Ji Mian was stunned and surprised: Yang Chaoying and the others came back last night?

In other words, Su Luoyu also came back last night?

In the original novel, it was only mentioned that Fu Chenyu almost died on New Year's Eve in 1998, but the specific time was not mentioned.

Su Luoyu came back last night. Could it be that in the original novel, Su Luoyu rescued the boss in the early morning?

Ji Mian was shocked and had a guess. In fact, even if he didn't go last night, Fu Chenyu would have waited a little longer and would have waited for Su Luoyu.

In other words, I accidentally ruined the original plot!

He had mixed feelings, but no regrets.

After all, the doctor said that if Fu Chenyu had come a little later, he might have died. He couldn't bear to watch a life disappear in front of him.

Rather than ruining the plot, he was more afraid that his actions would cause a butterfly effect.

Ji Mian was worried that Fu Chenyu would stay at his house during the New Year.

He didn't even have time to hide from him, and now they had to live with him day and night. Ji Mian didn't know how to face Fu Chenyu for a moment.

He was afraid of him, but he also couldn't bear to let Fu Chenyu face the cold winter alone.

Fortunately, things took a turn for the better the next day.

——Ning Qian is back.

Fu Chenyu was having breakfast opposite Ji Mian when he heard the news. He was stunned for a moment, and his dead eyes began to light up little by little.

But Ning Qian did not come back alone. Her belly was slightly bulging, showing that she was four months pregnant.

Returning with her was the boy that Ji Mian had seen in the stationery store last time. I heard that he was the son of Ning Qian’s new husband, named Lin Xi.

Ji Mian breathed a sigh of relief, thanking God, and watched Fu Chenyu leave.

Fu Chenyu ran downstairs eagerly, wishing he could get to Ning Qian's side immediately.

But when he saw Ning Qian holding Lin Xi's hand affectionately, the light in Fu Chenyu's eyes instantly went out.

He didn't have time to retract the joy on his face. He slowly stopped and looked at Ning Qian blankly.

"Mom..." Fu Chenyu murmured to himself.

Ning Qian didn't notice her son's abnormality at all. She introduced him gently: "Chenchen, this is Lin Xi. He will be your brother from now on."

Fu Chenyu found many reasons for Ning Qian to abandon him, but he never thought of this: Ning Qian had a new family, a new husband, and a new son.

There was even a new life growing in her belly.

There is no place for Fu Chenyu in her world anymore.

When he was tortured to death by Aunt Chen, Ning Qian was his only thought.

He looked forward to his mother coming back to save him, and then he looked forward to meeting his mother's new family.

The joy, warmth and harmony almost blinded his eyes.

The neighbors in the courtyard looked at Ning Qian curiously.

The children playing in the snow in the yard also peeked in and stared at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi was wearing a black turtleneck sweater. She was about seven years old, had an outstanding temperament, and looked very precious.

No one noticed how pale and terrifying Fu Chenyu's face was in the corner.

He was too young to understand why Ning Qian came back, why she gave him hope and yet made him so desperate.

Lin Xi, on the other hand, called Fu Chenyu "brother" in a friendly manner.

Who knew that Fu Chenyu pushed him away with such force as if he wanted to kill someone, which scared him.

Ning Qian scolded softly: "Chenchen, how did you treat your brother?"

She knew that Fu Chenyu might not be able to accept his new brother for a while, but she remarried so that the mother and son could have a better life.

Otherwise, do you expect Fu Yong to spend his whole life in jail?

Fu Chenyu trembled all over and squeezed out a sentence: "I don't have a brother."

Ning Qian: "Shenchen..."

Lin Xi brought some candy and distributed it to the children in the yard as soon as he arrived. This was his way of socializing.

Xu Cai, Su Luoyu and Xiaopang were playing in the snow. When they took Lin Xi's candy, they immediately felt that Lin Xi was a good person.

Su Luoyu was a little worried about Fu Chenyu. He looked at Fu Chenyu's pale face, then turned back to look at the candy handed to him by Lin Xi, and hesitated for a moment.

Ah Chen doesn't seem to like Lin Xi, so I'd better not take Lin Xi's candy...

Su Luoyu thought gloomily, but my mother told me not to play with Achen in the future...

In the end, the child's nature defeated reason.

Su Luoyu still couldn't help but took Lin Xi's candy and ate it worriedly.

When Lin Minzhi took Ji Mian downstairs, she happened to see Fu Chenyu's lonely back.

She glanced at Ning Qian and her stepson, her heart trembled, she guessed the reason, and sighed softly.

As an outsider, she couldn't say anything about other people's family affairs.

Ji Mian knew that Fu Chenyu had a miserable childhood, but he didn't expect that his misery would come in waves, leaving him no time to breathe.

Lin Xi distributed candy to all the children except Fu Chenyu.

After all, he was just a seven-year-old child. He had just politely called Fu Chenyu "brother", but his "brother" did not give him a good look and even pushed him hard.

So gloomy and annoying!

Lin Xi pouted and deliberately bit the candy, making a crunching sound.

In a blink of an eye, he saw Ji Mian standing next to Lin Minzhi. Lin Xi's eyes lit up and he immediately recognized Ji Mian as the little rabbit he saw in the stationery store.

Lin Xi couldn't help but point at Ji Mian and asked, "Who is he?"

Xu Cai was so embarrassed that he said, "He's a classmate of ours, named Ji Mian, and he's a little idiot!"

Lin Xi was stunned and thought, how could there be such a good-looking little idiot in the world.

He held the candy in his pocket and walked towards Ji Mian step by step.

Fu Chenyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly blinked, turned his head stiffly, and looked at Lin Xi's back.

Lin Xi took out the candy and handed it to Ji Mian with a smile: "Hello, brother, my name is Lin Xi, this is the candy I brought from home, for you to eat."

Ji Mian glanced at the candy in his hand, reacted slowly for a moment, and shook her head firmly: "I don't want it."

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, "...It's delicious, I don't want your money."

Ji Mian still shook his head, his voice crisp: "I don't want it."

He just saw that Lin Xi had a lot of candy in his hand, but he gave it to everyone except Fu Chenyu.

Fu Chenyu's self-esteem is proud and sensitive, and he must feel very embarrassed when Lin Xi deliberately humiliates him.

Ji Mian thought of Fu Chenyu's kindness in cooling his wound yesterday by freezing his hands, and he felt a little shaken: Maybe... the villain boss is not born a villain.

He didn't want Fu Chenyu to be the only kid without candy.

So he doesn't want it either.

Ji Mian slowly took out a White Rabbit candy from his pocket.

Fu Chenyu's pupils shrank imperceptibly - that was the candy he gave to Ji Mian.

He saw Ji Mian carefully peeling off the candy wrapper, putting the candy into his mouth, and mumbling to Lin Xi:

"I have candy."

"I don't want your candy."
