He could see that his grandmother was angry, so it was better not to say anything for now. His mind was completely focused on this matter, causing him to forget about Xiao Yichen's existence.
He is just like that. He doesn't know what to do when others are angry.
Xiao Yichen looked around the room, checked the kitchen, and walked to the bathroom. Seeing that it was dark and stuffy, his brows frowned even tighter. He caught a glimpse of a piece of clothing hanging in the corner of the bathroom out of the corner of his eye.
A white shirt, a familiar shirt. Originally, due to the harsh environment here, he was surrounded by low pressure.
When he saw the shirt, his mood immediately became cheerful. Everything else could be ignored and the smile in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
This shirt, like the sheet, is both a testimony and a symbol.
I kept the bed sheet and Sanbao kept the shirt, which is good enough, but it’s not so good to just hang them in this small and closed bathroom. It seems that they don’t take it seriously enough.
Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he had just seen that there was only a simple small cabinet here and there was no place to hang clothes.
Forgive Sanbao for not paying attention this time. Wait until next time, then give him a gift or something and tell him to cherish it.
Xiao Yishu would occasionally steal glances at his grandmother who had a cold face and was silent, and his two tender white hands were groping anxiously at the seam of his pants.
His heart was pounding. Grandma rarely gets angry and she also has high blood pressure. He hoped that she wouldn't get angry enough to cause harm. Thinking of this, some panic and anxiety appeared in his eyes.
The old lady saw his expression and little movements, and felt even more distressed.
"Hey, what are you standing for? Come and sit next to grandma!"
In the end, the old lady couldn't bear to be disrespectful to him, so she took his hand with heartache, pulled him to sit next to her, and touched his short chestnut hair lovingly.
Xiao Yishu was still a little embarrassed. Ever since he knew that he was not a child of the Xiao family, this feeling would occur whenever he met someone from the Xiao family.
"Tell grandma, are you doing well outside these days?"
The old lady noticed his nervousness and uneasiness. This child used to be so carefree and cheerful, always acting like a spoiled brat and spoiled child to her. When did he become so cautious like he is now?
My heart ached again. Such a good young master was now living in such an old house of only 20 square meters. There wasn't even an air conditioner. In such a hot day, there was only a small electric fan.
"Grandma, I'm doing well. I've found a job and can earn money to support myself.
Don't worry about me all the time. You should take good care of yourself. I will take good care of myself too!"
When Xiao Yishu heard his grandmother asking him, he knew that she was concerned about him, so he quickly comforted her and reached out to hold the old lady's hand, saying as if to make a promise.
"Grandma, Sanbao didn't lie to you. He found a job and makes quite a bit of money!" Xiao Yichen's magnetic voice rang out.
His words made Xiao Yishu's body stiffen for a moment, and he stood up uneasily. He was only thinking about his grandmother and forgot about Xiao Yichen.
Looking in the direction of the voice, Xiao Yishu's face changed, turning a little pale, and the blood color on his face faded a little.
The eldest brother was standing at the door of the bathroom. Did he go to the bathroom just now? Xiao Yishu's heart was very confused now, his face became worse and worse, and he began to scold himself in his heart.
Why should I keep that shirt? Even if I did, I should have folded it and put it under the closet. Bah! If I hadn't thought that shirt was too expensive at the time, I could have sold it secondhand.
Now I think I shouldn’t have stayed. Now I’m exposed.
The more he thought about whether his elder brother was going to hit him, the more scared he became. He didn't even notice the old lady calling him, still immersed in the panic he created.
"Sanbao, Sanbao, what's wrong with you?" The old lady shouted anxiously, and it took several calls to bring Xiao Yishu back to his senses.
"Uh, grandma, I'm fine. I just thought of something and got distracted. I'm sorry, grandma, what did you say just now?" Xiao Yishu looked at the old lady apologetically, his expression still a little flustered.
When the old lady saw him like this, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. She looked at Sanbao and then at her eldest grandson.
It seemed that Sanbao had just experienced the situation after her eldest grandson spoke. She looked at Xiao Yichen suspiciously. Is there something else here that she doesn't know?
Xiao Yichen also noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Yishu, and hurried forward to see what was going on. However, when Sanbao saw him, there was a look of fear in his eyes.
He walked closer. There was only a small space in the room. He took two steps to reach Xiao Yishu and wanted to hold his shoulders to make him sit down.
Who knew that as soon as he raised his hand, Xiao Yishu's face changed drastically, turning pale in an instant. He reflexively turned his face away, raised his arms to cover his head, and made a defensive posture.
His reflexive action caused the old lady and Xiao Yichen to change their expressions at the same time.
The old lady looked at Xiao Yichen with a gloomy face, the suspicion in her eyes was not hidden at all, she was waiting for him to explain.
But Xiao Yichen ignored the old lady's questions at this time, because his mind was like being struck by thunder, and he didn't know what to do. His thoughts were already falling apart.
Sanbao was afraid of himself, afraid that he would hit him. His action just now was an instinctive reaction of his body, and he subconsciously wanted to protect himself.
But he had never hit him since he was a child. Even in the past few months since he left, he had never looked for him, let alone hit him.
I only attacked him once, but that was in my previous life. Thinking of this, Xiao Yichen's pupils suddenly shrank and his face turned pale. Could it be that Sanbao was also... so he was afraid.
No wonder, no wonder he left early that day, and then avoided me intentionally or unintentionally, even when I called him. So he actually didn't want to go to dinner with me yesterday!
Then he still... Xiao Yichen didn't dare to think about it.
Xiao Yishu hugged his head and waited for a while. Seeing no movement, he secretly took a peek through the gap in his arms.
He found that his elder brother was looking at him with a strange expression, and his grandmother was also looking at him with a bad face. He slowly lowered his arms feeling a little embarrassed.
"Grandma!" Xiao Yishu called out dryly. He didn't know what was wrong with his grandma again, and secretly glanced at his eldest brother next to him.
The eldest brother also stood there indifferently without saying a word, but his expression was scary. Xiao Yishu turned his head away and stopped looking at him.
But the old lady didn't say anything, her eyes moving back and forth between the two of them.
Aunt Wang and Special Assistant Zhao stood by without saying a word, but they both saw Xiao Yishu's abnormal behavior just now, and they also focused their attention on Xiao Yishu and Xiao Yichen.
The room fell silent and no one spoke.
Xiao Yishu stood there like a child who had made a mistake, twisting his fingers nervously, looking at the old lady, then at Xiao Yichen, not daring to say a word!
(Dear babies, please move your precious fingers and give a thumbs up!)
