Song Ci watched every subtle change in Han Zhan's expression. "You do know him." They must be quite close friends.
Song Ci picked up the shells on the ground. Holding the shells that had broken into two pieces, she told Han Zhan, "The man asked me to say hello to you and tell you that Cecilio missed you very much."
Hearing this, Han Zhan's expression changed again and again.
Fear, hatred, envy, and fear were all intertwined in those gray-blue eyes.
Han Zhan, frightened by something, suddenly hugged Song Ci. He held Song Ci tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that Song Ci would disappear in the next second, and used up all his strength.
"Han Zhan, you're squeezing me." Although it was a little uncomfortable for her to be hugged too tightly by Han Zhan, and even her shoulders were a little painful from being pressed, Song Ci did not struggle.
Han Zhan placed his chin on the top of Song Ci's head. He sighed deeply and said without thinking, "Song Ci, I will definitely protect you. Believe me."
Song Ci noticed that Han Zhan's mentality was a little broken.
Who is Cecilio, and why does his appearance make Han Zhan so wary?
Song Ci's cheek was hidden between Han Zhan's chest, and the sound she made was like a mosquito's buzz. "Brother Han, who is Cecilio? Why are you afraid of him?" It was the first time Song Ci saw Han Zhan's tone and expression filled with fear when mentioning someone.
He is Han Zhan, who is fearless and can keep her in his arms without changing his expression even when an earthquake comes!
Han Zhan didn't answer at first. After a long moment, he let go of Song Ci and took her hand to sit by the window. The spring afternoon sun was very well-behaved, quietly slipping into the master bedroom and gently covering Han Zhan's body.
There is sunshine on his body, but frost in his eyes.
Song Ci put down the broken shell and reached out to touch Han Zhan's hand, only to find that it was a little cold. Song Ci protected Han Zhan's hand with both hands and told him, "Han Zhan, don't be afraid. I'm here with you."
Han Zhan glanced at Song Ci in a trance, then turned his head, pursed his lips, and looked out the window. Even the golden sun could not melt the indifference in Han Zhan's eyes.
Han Zhan finally spoke. He said, "Snakes aren't actually that scary. Although they're poisonous, they're very thin and delicate. You can actually smash their heads with one hammer."
Han Zhan's words sounded incoherent, and Song Ci was completely confused. She frowned slightly, but did not interrupt Han Zhan's monologue.
"There's a saying that goes, 'Once bitten by a snake, you'll be afraid of ropes for ten years.' If you've been hurt by something, it'll leave a deep shadow in your heart. For the rest of your life, whenever you think of it, you'll subconsciously feel fear."
"Similarly, if someone instills fear in you since childhood, you will never be able to get rid of the fear and dread of that person for the rest of your life."
Han Zhan's eyes trembled, he lowered his head and sighed softly: "I am the one who was bitten by the snake. To me, Cecilio is the venomous snake."
After hearing Han Zhan's words, Song Ci's heart was in a knot. She rubbed Han Zhan's cold hands and asked him, "Cecilio, is this someone you knew as a child? Could he be someone close to your father?"
Han Zhan mentioned the word "since childhood", which means that Cecilio and Han Zhan knew each other since childhood.
Han Zhan shook his head.
"Then who is he..."
Han Zhan suddenly broke Song Ci's guess and said, "Song Ci, Cecilio is the child of Jiang Shiyu and Edward."
"What!" Song Ci was dumbfounded. She murmured in astonishment: "He is my mother and Edward's child, so he is my..." Song Ci couldn't say the word brother.
Han Zhan nodded indifferently, "Yes, he is your half-brother." He frowned and added, "He is also my half-brother."
Song Ci was so shocked by the truth that he was speechless.
How could that person be her brother?
He looks like a psychopath, acts erratically and arrogantly, and has a completely different personality from his mother.
"Cecilio is Edward's proudest child. He has the same cold and cruel blood as Edward. As far as I can remember, Cecilio has always been a very strong child. Back then, we were all very afraid of him."
Han Zhan still has vivid memories of his childhood.
People say that children have no memories, but that is not true. All we can say is that the memories they have are not unforgettable enough.
Han Zhan recounted the story as he recalled, "Cecilio is only a year older than me, but he's been influenced by Edward since he was little. He's become just like him. While my hands tremble when I hold a gun, he can kill people with a gun without blinking. While we dared not even raise our heads in front of Edward, he dared to openly defy him."
"It is said that when Cecilio was four years old, Edward asked him to choose someone to be killed at his baptism. But do you know who Cecilio chose?"
Han Zhan's tone was unpredictable, and Song Ci felt uneasy.
Song Ci thought about it seriously, then asked doubtfully, "Could it be that you were chosen?"
Han Zhan shook his head and said, "I am Edward's child after all. I am not among the sacrifices."
Knowing that Song Ci couldn't guess the answer, Han Zhan told her bluntly: "Cecilio chose his wet nurse."
Song Ci's eyes suddenly widened. "How could it be..." Shouldn't the nanny be someone Cecilio is very close to?
Han Zhan told Song Ci, "Jiang Shiyu faked her own death and fled Edward's side less than three months after giving birth, leaving behind a three-month-old child. Cecilio didn't like formula, so Edward chose a healthy and gentle wet nurse for Cecilio. That wet nurse was the person Cecilio was closest to."
