It's normal for Sanbao to hear those things Zhang Xiaoyu said at school.
After Sanbao finished speaking, she noticed that Huo Yan remained silent, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.
"Brother Huo Yan, please accept my condolences."
Huo Yan's lips curled up slightly, a faint smile appearing because of Sanbao.
"You're still a child, how come you know how to care about me?"
Sanbao's chubby little face was still serious. "Of course I'm worried about you. We're the best of friends. It's just that when you grow up, you won't want to see me anymore. My mom says that since you're a boy and I'm a girl, we can't play together anymore when we grow up. I understand all of that, but I still want to be your friend for life."
Huo Yan murmured, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Friends for life?
Looking at the still small, thin and delicate Sanbao, he suddenly realized that Sanbao was much stronger than he had thought.
On the contrary, he looked very big and tall, but inside he was a coward who dared not do anything, not even think about it.
He wanted to wait until Sanbao grew up.
It seems that at this moment, a decision was suddenly made.
"Sanbao, may I hug you?"
Sanbao didn't say anything, but took the initiative to step forward and hug Huo Yan.
She gently patted his back and comforted him, saying, "Brother Huo Yan, don't be too sad. You still have Aunt Yan and your uncle."
Sanbao thought Huo Yan was very sad and was seeking a hug.
At home, her mother always liked to hug her, saying that a hug could relieve bad moods.
Sometimes when she gets irritable, her mother will hug her to comfort her.
It was just a simple and pure hug, but Yan Minghui saw it all through the door. She knew what her son was thinking, but she never expected that he would hug a little girl who was not even ten years old like that...
Yan Minghui, who always adhered to ethical and moral principles, was furious when she saw her son holding Sanbao, but she managed to restrain herself.
She reached out and knocked politely on the door, her tone gentle, "Sanbao, your mother is looking for you. She says it's time to go home. Auntie will take you downstairs."
Upon hearing Yan Minghui's words, Sanbao turned around and naturally released his grip on Huo Yan's arm.
She obediently replied, "Okay, Auntie."
After saying that, Sanbao looked at Huo Yan, her little face still showing concern, and said, "Brother Huo Yan, I have to go back now. Take good care of yourself. I'll come to see you again with Mom and Dad next time."
As she spoke, she waved at Huo Yan.
But Huo Yan saw the storm brewing beneath her mother's feigned gentleness.
After Sanbao left the room, Yan Minghui whispered to her son, "Wait for me in the room, I'll come up in a bit."
Huo Yan remained silent.
He knew what his mother had misunderstood. No matter how much of a scoundrel he was, he would never bully Sanbao. He wasn't a pervert; he just didn't understand what it meant to like Sanbao.
After seeing Sanbao and the Shen couple off, Yan Minghui quickly went upstairs to the second floor.
He raised his hand and slapped Huo Yan.
"Huo Yan, how old are you? Sanbao is so young. How am I supposed to raise you properly? In your eyes, she's just a very immature little sister. Fine, you're an adult now. If you want to date, you can go find someone, but you absolutely cannot date Sanbao. If you dare to touch her, the Shen family will tear you apart, and I won't even lower myself to beg for help."
Huo Yan was slapped, but he didn't get angry.
“I’ve told you before, I only consider Sanbao my younger sister. As a younger sister, hugging my brother and comforting him is something you find so dirty?”
Yan Minghui said coldly, "I told you, you took Sanbao to the side hall, so why did you take her upstairs to your bedroom? Is it okay to bring just anyone into the bedroom? If she hugged you in the side hall, even if Wen Qiao saw it, she wouldn't say anything, let alone me."
“It shouldn’t be in your bedroom. Huo Yan, I am your mother, and I have to teach you well. If you behave badly, people will only blame me, your mother, for not raising you well as a son.”
"I agree to your going abroad. After your grandfather's funeral, I'll have your uncle help you make the arrangements. I hope you can go abroad and put away your inappropriate thoughts."
Huo Yan never imagined that his mother would agree to let him go abroad because of Sanbao...
