"Nian Nian—"
A low growl sounded, and the man paused. Taking advantage of the moment, the little boy turned around, grabbed a stone from the ground, and hurled it at the man's eyes, yelling fiercely in his childish voice, "Let me go! Fifth Brother! Niannian is right here!"
The man was hit in the eye by the baby, and immediately cried out in pain, covering his face and taking two steps back. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xuan Di's shadow appear around the corner, and immediately turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.
The next moment, Xuandi and Huo Chengche appeared in front of the little boy.
"Nian Nian?!"
When Huo Chengche saw the little boy covered in blood, his heart skipped a beat. An unprecedented fear swept over him, and he didn't even notice that his hands were trembling.
At this moment, he disregarded Xuan Di, and he disregarded the past and present lives. He hugged the little baby tightly in his arms like a madman, his eyes bloodshot, and looked him up and down carefully. His usually calm and indifferent eyes were now trembling.
Xuan Di was startled by the little boy's appearance, but when he looked up angrily and saw Huo Chengche's expression, the angry curses that were about to come out of his mouth were suddenly blocked.
This...this seems to be his sister, right? No, this is definitely his sister! Why is this guy acting like she's his own sister? She's even more excited than her brother...This guy's behavior is terrifying.
Xuan Di was still somewhat rational at this moment. Although he saw his younger sister covered in blood, he could smell that it was not his sister's blood. Moreover, the little boy's fierce and cute shouts were still echoing in his ears. He didn't look like he was seriously injured at all.
Therefore, he was truly shocked by Huo Chengche's insane, half-human, half-ghost appearance.
Xuan Di, of course, had no idea how Huo Chengche felt. He had never experienced the pain of losing a little boy, nor had he ever felt the heart-wrenching pain of being powerless to do anything about it.
But Huo Chengche would always remember the day he lost her, the helpless grief he felt, and all he could do was roar in anger, slaughtering the entire world for her, but even that couldn't bring him to see her again.
Huo Chengche held the little baby tightly, feeling her soft little body, her warm body temperature, and her playful, fluffy little head.
She's still here, she's still alive, and he can still stay by her side.
very nice!
That's wonderful, that's wonderful...
Huo Chengche had never felt so satisfied before, an unprecedented sense of fulfillment. It took him a long time to regain his usual composure, and he gently used a handkerchief to wipe the little baby's dirty face clean, his movements incredibly tender.
Even Xuan Di, who had always disliked Huo Chengche, couldn't help but curl his lip and swallow the sarcasm that was on the tip of his tongue—this bastard can do whatever he wants, I'm happy to be idle!
So, Xuandi, like a foreman, stood with his arms crossed and leaned against the wall, supervising Huo Chengche to wipe his sister's face properly while carefully observing the dark alley with a serious look in his eyes, not letting go of any detail.
Huo Chengche didn't have time to worry about that right now; he was only concerned about his little wife.
The frightened little baby was unusually clingy, snuggling into her older brother's arms and immediately bursting into tears, her large tears rolling down her face and mixing with the blood on her cheeks, which made it easier for Huo Chengche to wipe her face.
Her sweet, childlike voice, tinged with a sob, was especially soft and endearing. "...Then, then Nian Nian hit that bad guy with a rock, and only then did he let me go and run away!"
The little baby was hiccuping and crying, his little body twitching, crying so pitifully.
