Chapter 61 Brother Achen
She disappeared for thirteen years, a full thirteen years.
It was also a rain like this that year, as if it was going to drown the whole world.
It was the first day of junior high school. The night before, Grandpa called the two of them together and repeatedly reminded them that they must study hard after going to the next level, and Xiaoxiao must take care of Achen and not let him cause trouble at school.
Huo Qichen was already in the third grade at that time. He patted the little girl's head and said with disdain, "I should be the one to take care of her and keep her out of trouble!"
Although he looked disdainful, a smile was on his face.
The girl next to him was dissatisfied and jumped up to hit him, "You were in junior high school for three years and your parents were called in several times because of fighting, but I have never fought! Grandpa, I will definitely take good care of Brother Achen when the time comes!"
Grandpa said cheerfully, "Xiaoxiao is really capable. Brother Achen has always listened to you since he was a child."
Car lights were flashing downstairs, and the driver came to pick her up. The rain was so heavy that the air was filled with fog.
Huo Qi Chen took the little hand and went downstairs. By then he had grown into a teenager, superior in every way and always arrogant, but he was always gentle and patient towards this girl.
"Brother Achen, I'll go back first. See you at school tomorrow."
Huo Qichen opened the car door for her and replied with a smile: "Okay, I'll take you to eat lion's head in the cafeteria at noon tomorrow."
She smiled happily.
The car drove very fast, disappeared in the rain and fog, and drove out of sight.
At that time, neither of them thought that this would be the last time they would see each other.
Then Xiaoxiao seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Huo Qichen spent thirteen years searching the entire Haicheng but could not find any trace of her. It was also because of this incident that he completely severed his relationship with her family.
Huo Qi Chen sat on the sofa for a long time and fell into a light sleep. He had a dream about a scene he had not seen for a long time.
"Mother! Mother! Take me away! I am willing to go with you!"
The boy's heart-wrenching voice was thrown into the wind, swirled around and disappeared.
The black car was speeding up, not noticing the little boy running desperately behind it. It turned a corner and left him behind.
Huo Qichen, who was only seven years old, tripped and fell on the asphalt road. His hands were scratched and covered in blood. His tears fell on the wounds, but they were not even a ten-thousandth as painful as the pain in his heart.
His mother doesn't want him anymore.
Huo Qichen had been indifferent since childhood and seldom cried, because being ignorant would make people dislike him. Realizing this, he quickly wiped away his tears, blood staining his face. "Mother, I won't cry anymore. If I don't cry, you will come back..."
At this moment, a car drove back and stopped beside the little boy. He looked up in surprise, "Mom..."
But I saw a little girl wearing a princess dress, holding a doll in her arms, jumping out of the car.
"What's wrong with you?" The little girl stretched out her hand to him, her voice very sweet. "You are hurt. Let me help you up."
Seven-year-old Huo Qi Chen glared at the strange girl fiercely without saying a word until his grandfather sent someone to take him away.
From then on, the little girl not only did not disappear, but also settled down nearby. Since they went to the same school, the two often met each other.
"Hello, you can call me Xiaoxiao. I just moved here and don't know any new friends, but I live very close to you. Can I come and play with you often?"
"What's your name? I heard them call you Achen. Can I call you Brother Achen?"
Huo Qi Chen doesn't like making friends, but this little girl is very persistent.
The two families had a good relationship, so he could see Xiaoxiao almost every day. Grandpa liked her very much and told her, "Xiaoxiao's family is unfamiliar with the place, so we should help her more. She is your little sister, so you should take her out to play more."
"Who wants to play with her?"
Just as the voice fell, the girl's sweet voice came from downstairs again, "Brother Achen! It's time to go to school!"
Huo Qi Chen was extremely annoyed and covered his ears without saying a word.
Her family seemed to be very busy and didn't even have time to pick her up from school, so they could only ask the Huo family to help and bring Xiaoxiao back after school.
It rained that day, and Huo Qi Chen didn't wait for her. He ran home alone with his bag on his back.
There was no one at home. When he finished his homework and looked at the time, it was already dark, but there was no sound from downstairs and the rain was still falling.
He took a deep breath, took two umbrellas from home, and ran out of the house quickly. However, he didn't run far before he saw Xiaoxiao holding the backpack strap, walking on the road in the rain, her hair stuck together. When she raised her head, her eyes were crystal clear. She saw that Huo Qichen was not angry at all, but ran closer happily, "Brother Achen!"
Huo Qichen handed her an umbrella and said, "Can't you wait for the rain to stop? You fool."
"But there's no one in the school... I can only go home by myself. Brother Chen, I thought something happened to you. I was so scared. Fortunately, you are okay."
The innocent and tender voice softened Huo Qichen's heart. He took the girl's wet hand and said, "I'll take you home."
Some friendships were forged on this rainy day.
From the age of seven to fifteen, in nine years, Huo Qi Chen watched himself grow up, and also watched the little girl grow into a beautiful young girl. He thought that the two of them would continue like this, from elementary school to middle school, and then to college. It didn't matter if they couldn't get into the same school. He was a good student, and he could make the sacrifice to go to her school.
But things happen unexpectedly, and everything suddenly changed its course.
After that rainy day, the scar in Huo Qichen's heart could not be healed, and it still remains to this day.
The rain outside has stopped.
Someone outside pushed open the door and was startled, "Mr. Huo? Why are you here..."
It was Mu Yi. She had never seen Huo Qichen in such a miserable state and was horrified.
The man opened his eyes and wiped his eyes with his cold hand. "Get out."
Mu Yi didn't move. She stepped forward worriedly and said, "Boss Huo, have you encountered any difficult problems? Tell me about it. Maybe I can help you solve your problems."
Huo Qichen woke up from the trauma, subconsciously flexing his wrists, with a look of unscrupulous sarcasm at the corners of his eyes, "You? You're not qualified."
Mu Yi felt a stab in her heart. She had been with him for so many years, but he had never rejected her so bluntly.
"Mu Yi knows that I am not experienced enough. As long as Mr. Huo says a word, I am ready to go through fire and water at any time."
"You are sincere, but what's the use of going through fire and water?" Huo Qi Chen stood up and when he turned his head, a black hairband caught his eye.
He paused briefly. This size wasn't small; it could only have belonged to one person.
Mu Yi followed his gaze, jealousy burning fiercely in her eyes, "Boss Huo, let me clean it up for you."
Huo Qichen restrained his expression, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and said, "Clean it up."
The sound of water splashed, and Mu Yi's expression turned cold. He pinched the hair tie with two fingers and threw it into the trash can.
