"Huh?" Ichijo noticed a thin, unfamiliar face that seemed strangely familiar, as if he'd seen it somewhere before. But it was clearly someone he didn't know...
With a cry of "Huh", Cheng Zhenzhu and the other Tiao Tiao also noticed the tall and thin boy a few meters away from them.
Perhaps out of curiosity, Liu Tiao took several steps forward and looked at it carefully with his big, bright black eyes.
A fight is about to break out! A fight is about to break out! Seeing this, Yu Xiaolong clenched his fists, a little excited. After the excitement subsided, he began to think that if they couldn't beat one of them in a short while, he would rush out and punch them, then come back to close the door.
When the time comes, I will definitely thank him very much. In the future, I will help him out at school no matter what, and give him some snacks. I will be so happy...
Fang Ze stared intently at the child approaching him. The child was waist-high, with a round face and a slightly bulging belly. His clothes were dirty from playing, stained with grass and leaves, and his face was covered in mud. However, his large eyes were clear and pure, with an innocence and naiveté that befitted his age.
That bright, innocent smile that hadn't been retracted seemed to tell him that this was a carefree child who grew up in love...
It’s great to see Xiao An like this.
Without trying to distinguish them, Fang Ze knew that the child in front of him was his younger brother Fang An, even though there were six other children wearing the same clothes behind him.
Your nickname now is Liu Tiao, right?
He had heard Uncle Dawei say many times that Liu Tiao was doing well now, and Uncle Jiamu had also told him before... but he always wanted to come and see, especially since he was about to join the army and might not have time in the future.
Now he finally saw with his own eyes that Xiao An was truly doing well. She was lively and lovely, and had plenty of company. He should have written a letter to reassure his sister.
Cheng Zhenzhu glanced at the young man and a sense of familiarity emerged in her heart. Then she looked at Xiao Liutiao who took two steps forward, and suddenly she had some guesses in a flash.
"Who are you?" Liu Tiao looked at the two people in front of him who were taller than him, blinked and couldn't help asking.
"I..." Fang Ze clutched the note in his hand and finally fell silent. He remembered Uncle Jiamu telling him that Xiao An's mother wanted to wait until Xiao An grew up before telling Xiao An about this.
Uncle Jiamu also said that he would come visit Xiao An when he and Xiao An were older, but he really couldn't wait, and broke his promise after just a few years...
"Young comrade, come in and have a drink of water." Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the silent boy and suddenly said something.
She was 80% certain this was Xiao An's brother, whom Dawei had mentioned to her. She'd heard he was enlisting this year. At such a young age, he'd already shouldered the responsibility of a family; he was a truly remarkable young man.
Eh? Is this someone Mom knows? How come they've never met before? Each of them looked at their mother, then at the tall, thin man.
Fang Ze tensed up and looked at the person who had spoken. It was then that he dared to take a closer look at the man who had been said to treat Xiao An so well. But when he met those eyes that seemed to know everything, his guilty conscience was immediately exposed, and he subconsciously ran away.
Seeing Xiao An doing well, he was already very satisfied. If he had the chance in the future, he would come to see Xiao An again...
"Why are you running? My mother is calling you to drink water?" It is not known whether to say that Liu Tiao was quick or the boy was slow, but Liu Tiao grabbed a piece of clothes, and when he saw that the dusty clothes were stained with mud by him, he patted them and said "sorry" to make amends.
Fang Ze was stunned for a moment.
"That's right, that's right..." At this time, the other few also gathered around, happily calling Fang Ze to come in for some water. The few little ones were always very enthusiastic about the people their mother invited, and even the fourth and fifth ones came to join in the fun.
Normally, if someone they didn't know looked into the house a few times, they would bark wildly. But when they saw the boy who was a complete stranger, they didn't care much and even wagged their tails in a friendly manner.
...Yu Xiaolong, who was crouching on the wall watching the fun, watched helplessly as the man with a threatening look was carried into the yard. His eyes widened. What was going on? Another powerful relative of the Yitiao family?
What should I do? I can’t afford to offend you anymore!
The boy, who had always been calm, felt a little uneasy when he was pushed into the yard. He didn't know where to put his hands. He just watched Xiao An pull his foot and took a few steps blindly.
"Have a glass of water." Cheng Zhenzhu washed her hands and actually poured a glass of water for the boy.
"Thank you." Fang Ze took a sip of water and relieved some of his tension.
Some of them didn't notice the nervousness of the big brother in front of them. They surrounded him and asked questions, appearing very curious.
"Who are you?" Liu Tiao asked again.
"Where are you from?" Yi Tiao was a natural admirer of the strong. He could feel that the person in front of him was a very powerful person, and he unconsciously became closer to him.
"Where are we going?" asked Nijo, who knew many of the island's secrets, striving to add to his intelligence.
"You look like someone?" Sanjo asked in confusion. But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't think of who it was.
However, Qi Tiao, who often studies painting, looked at Liu Tiao with a sense of something and couldn't help but open his mouth.
Bajio also opened his mouth. This person gave off a feeling of being like Liujio's brother. But that wasn't right...
Fang Ze subconsciously glanced at her as Zhenzhu, Xiao An's current mother.
"You can call him big brother." Cheng Zhenzhu said to a few others.
"Big brother." Liu Tiao called out immediately, and the others also shouted.
"Hey, hello..." Fang Ze happily responded, answering every time the child called out. While saying hello, he gently touched his brother's head and hugged him.
Perhaps it was the special feeling between brothers, Liu Tiao liked the older brother in front of him very much. He did not resist touching his head and hugging him, and seemed happy. He leaned directly against his legs and even pulled the hand that was much bigger than his to play with it.
Fang Ze suddenly felt very fond of this younger brother whom he had not seen for several years, but he remembered that it was not appropriate to disturb him for too long, so he got up after a while.
The young man stood straight with his hands resting on his trouser seams. He looked at Cheng Zhenzhu with gratitude, "Aunt, thank you for the water. Thank you so much." Thank you for taking such good care of Xiao An, his younger brother.
At this moment, there were many things he couldn't say, so Fang Ze poured all his unspoken feelings into that one "thank you." If he had the chance, he would definitely repay her well.
"You're welcome..." Cheng Zhenzhu pursed her lips and smiled, without saying much, leaving the young man in front of her to eat.
Rokujo was still too young, his mind immature, so she didn't want to tell him about his past just yet. She'd already played tricks on all the gossipers on the island. The young man before her, Rokujo's older brother, seemed calm and composed, as if he understood her intentions...
