Chapter 10: The School Bully's Pink Room
Xie Ziyu never thought that seeing the stars again would be like this.
The child's face, arms, and any exposed skin were covered with bloodstains of varying depths.
There was a big swelling on the knee.
The purple bruises looked particularly scary on the fair skin.
Even in dreams I feel uneasy.
Her eyelashes trembled and her little eyebrows were wrinkled.
She was mumbling something with her little mouth.
My breathing was rapid, as if I had a nightmare.
Xie Ziyu clenched his palms tightly, stood beside the bed, and said in a cold voice:
“Why is this happening?”
Yin Shen lit a cigarette nonchalantly:
"It was an orphanage, and anything could happen there.
"Xie Ziyu, you were in a much worse situation than her when I first took you out of the orphanage."
Xie Ziyu choked up and said, "This is different!"
He was as unlikable then as he is now.
But the stars are not like that. They are so clear and soft, how could someone be so cruel to them!
Yin Shen exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at Xie Ziyu with narrow eyes, then looked at the little ball on the bed, and said lightly:
"I didn't expect this child to be so good-looking after washing. No wonder Mr. Zhou wanted to adopt him."
"Your surname is Zhou?" Xie Ziyu frowned.
He stood up and walked towards Yin Shen. In Yin Shen's slightly surprised eyes, he raised his hand and put out his cigarette.
"Don't smoke when there are children around." Xie Ziyu added.
Yin Shen wanted to laugh: "Xie Ziyu, do you really think of yourself as her brother?
"I'll stop here. I won't help you, let alone this kid.
"She is just part of the deal I have with you.
"Get ready. I will arrange a school for you in three months.
"Study hard then and don't let me down."
After Yin Shen finished speaking, he strode out of the ward.
But before walking out of the room, he looked back at the little ball on the bed.
The little one curled up in the white quilt, his face was white, soft and fragile.
The child moved his mouth and seemed to call out "brother".
Yin Shen suddenly felt that he understood a little bit why Xie Ziyu was so special to this child.
But what does this have to do with him?
Yin Shen left, and in the huge VIP single room, the humming sound of the baby could be heard.
Xie Ziyu quickly sat down next to Xingxing, stretched out his finger, and gently touched Xiao Xingxing's forehead.
The child's eyelashes trembled and his eyes slowly opened.
The dark pupils were still a little dilated, and became a little moist because of the sudden light.
Like the clearest black glass, one can see the purest emotions in the eyes at a glance.
The remaining fear is still in his eyes.
Xie Ziyu's heart suddenly felt sour.
He didn't know that this feeling was called heartache. He just wanted to give her the best things and kill all those who bullied her.
"Star……"
He spoke very softly, for fear of scaring the child who had just woken up.
The stars blinked once, and then blinked again.
Where is this?
The quilt was white and soft, and she felt like she was lying on a cloud.
The person in front of her was still her sixth brother, the sixth brother whom she had always wanted to follow back with her?
Is she dreaming?
The little head tried hard to recall.
All she remembered was that she ran away from the orphanage and onto the road.
Then I saw a black car, and then I saw a person dressed in black...
The man was so fierce, but she couldn't help but get closer.
Then, she seemed to be picked up, and then she didn't know what happened...
Xingxing opened her mouth and called out cautiously:
"Six, Sixth Brother?"
As soon as I spoke, I realized my throat was sore and hoarse, and I became like a little duck.
Xie Ziyu took a deep breath and gently touched Xingxing's head:
"Brother is here."
Xingxing's eyes suddenly widened.
She is not dreaming!
It’s really Sixth Brother!
The next second after realizing this, her nose suddenly felt sore.
Tears immediately filled my eyes and I couldn't control them from falling.
“Wuwu┭┮﹏┭┮, Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother…”
Xingxing curled her lips, called out "Sixth Brother" and stretched out her arms for a hug.
It was as if all the fear, grievance and pain were accumulated in my tears.
"Sixth brother, brother, hug me..."
He didn’t cry when threatened by the headmistress, didn’t cry when his skin was scratched by a small branch, and didn’t cry when he fell heavily to the ground.
But now, tears just flowed out.
Xie Ziyu's brows were tightly furrowed at this moment.
His heart seemed to be tightened by soft vines, and he throbbed slightly in pain.
He reached over and circled the stars.
The child's body was trembling.
He patted Xingxing's back gently with his palm, his voice hoarse:
"I'm sorry...I shouldn't have sent you back in the first place.
"Sorry, Xingxing, don't cry.
"Brother will protect you, Star.
"My brother will kill them."
When he finished speaking, the boy clenched his back teeth.
He has nothing, so he doesn't care about his life.
When Xingxing heard this, she tried to raise her head from Xie Ziyu's arms:
"Brother, no, don't do that!"
The child sobbed but still tried to speak complete sentences.
Xingxing thought of that dream.
She tilted her head and looked at her sixth brother through her tearful eyes.
I saw that his eyes were filled with murderous intent, but he looked less ferocious than when I first met him.
The star representing the Sixth Brother has deviated slightly from the most dangerous orbit.
But it is far from enough.
The stars still need to work hard!
Xingxing rubbed her eyes vigorously.
Red eyes and little rabbits, yes, wet and full of worry:
"Don't cry, Stars. Don't, don't kill anyone, brother."
Xie Ziyu pursed his lips for a long while, then nodded: "Okay."
In short, agree to the child first.
*
Before taking Xingxing home, Xie Ziyao called his younger brother.
"Li Yuan, do you know what to buy for a little girl's room? Where can I buy those teddy bears and Barbie dolls?"
Li Yuan held the phone, thinking he was hallucinating.
"Brother Ji, are you sure you're not asking me where to buy controlled knives?"
"Don't give me any nonsense." Xie Ziyu exposed his true nature without being in front of the children.
"Forget it, you useless thing, go look up online how to decorate a little girl's room.
"Deliver the items to my home within two hours."
Li Yuan: "No, brother, who cast a spell on you?"
…
Before Xie Ziyu made a phone call outside the ward, he turned on the TV for Xingxing to watch.
Xingxing held the apple that Xie Ziyu had peeled in her hands and nibbled it bit by bit with her little front teeth.
Scrape just a little bit of apple puree into each bite.
While watching TV.
An animated episode ends and a cosmetics ad appears.
The child, who was not that excited about watching cartoons at first, suddenly widened his eyes when he saw the super beautiful woman in the advertisement!
What a beautiful sister!
This is her sister, Xingxing’s sister!
But……
Even though her sister smiled so sweetly in the commercial, Xingxing felt that her sister was unhappy.
I glanced at the time and heard the word said by the sister in the advertisement, and the hexagram emerged in my mind.
Xingxing stared at the apple in her hand in a daze, and she understood the meaning of the hexagram almost instantly in her little head.
My sister is going to be bullied by bad guys!
