The Round Table and the Twelve Knights (09)



Until now, Sijiu can still clearly recall how panicked and desperate he was at that time.

She was smarter than other children and she understood clearly what an orphan was, what abandonment meant, and what family was.

Therefore, she longs for family affection more than other children and understands the preciousness of feelings.

She cried all night that day. Even though she didn't make any sound, her tears wet the collar of her elder brother who was holding her and comforting her.

It was not until the next day that the director's mother suddenly told everyone in ecstasy that a kind-hearted man had sponsored their welfare home. Not only did they not have to worry about where to go, but they also had the opportunity to go to school.

That was the first time Sijiu heard the name 'Mr. Chen', and it was also the first time he felt the shock of being suddenly saved from despair.

From that time on, a seed named 'Mr. Chen' was planted in the little Sijiu's heart.

Every time I put on new clothes, every time I carry my schoolbag to school, every time I have extra meals during the New Year holidays.

Xiao Sijiu would always thank Mr. Shen three times in his heart, and then secretly swear that when he grew up and could make money, he would definitely be filial to Mr. Shen and provide for his retirement in the future.

She had always thought so before she met 'Mr. Shen' for the first time.

She was 14 when she first met Mr. Shen.

She never thought that Mr. Shen was actually so young! He was so young that she later felt embarrassed to think that she could support him in his old age.

But she didn't expect that Mr. Shen was in a wheelchair.

They met on the not very flat road leading to the welfare home. At that time, Si Jiu saw him sitting on the roadside in a wheelchair, with the scorching summer sun shining directly on him. He was actually wearing a formal three-piece suit, with even his shirt buttoned to the top.

Sijiu didn't understand what abstinence meant at the time, but he just felt that this look was inexplicably beautiful.

Of course, no matter how good-looking he was, it didn't stop her from feeling hot for him.

He had an extremely handsome face, but his skin showed no sign of getting red from the sun; it was even a cool white.

The lips are also very pale.

Looks a little sickly.

She was afraid that the man might have suffered from heatstroke. Seeing that there was no one around him and that no one was with him, she quickly ran up to him, took out the parasol that her second brother had stuffed into her schoolbag, opened it, and held it over his head.

"Are you okay?" the 14-year-old girl said, her face full of concern. She ran over to a stranger and spoke without any hesitation. Her sharp eyes fixed on the man's legs, and she couldn't hide her regret. She didn't know how to restrain herself at all. "Why are you parked here alone? Is your wheelchair out of power? Do you need my help?"

After she asked these questions repeatedly, she seemed to realize that both her eyes and words seemed to be hurtful and that she was completely tactless.

"Uh, sorry, I..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard a breathless voice behind her, "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Sijiu couldn't quite recall what her expression was at that time, but she thought it must have been very funny, because Mr. Shen smiled at her.

Before this, she was so nervous and hesitant for several minutes before she dared to approach and talk to him because of his overly dull and cold temperament.

Unexpectedly, when Mr. Shen smiled, he looked so...good-looking.

"Hey—come back to your senses."

A hand snapped its fingers in front of her eyes, and a "snap" sound scared Si Jiu so much that she shuddered.

"Are you daydreaming? Don't your hands feel sore from holding two plates of food?" Cheng Yu bent over and waved his hands left and right in front of her eyes. "What are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed? Eh? Why does your face look a little red? You don't have a fever, do you?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched his forehead.

Si Jiu froze, and quickly pushed the dish in his hand in front of Cheng Yu. While he was in a panic, he turned around and ran away.

"I feel a little hot. I'm going to drink some water."

She ran away.

Cheng Yu put the plate in his hands, straightened his back, and looked at her fleeing back in confusion.
