Chapter 0 Extra 2 Hours
Sixteen years ago.
"Yu Huan, we are going to your grandparents' house for dinner today. Your parents have left first. You go to the school and wait for your sister. After your sister gets out of school, go with her." Yu's father and mother reminded Yu Huan before they went out.
Yu Huan, who was watching TV in the living room, stood up immediately upon hearing this and replied happily, "Okay."
After her parents left, she immediately turned off the TV, ran into the bedroom, took out a small piggy bank from under the bed, and took out all the money inside.
She didn't have much pocket money, which was all given to her by her sister occasionally, and she saved it all.
Fifty cents and one dollar at a time, about ten dollars in total.
Holding the huge sum of money, she left home and went straight to school.
Her home is in the old city of H City, surrounded by several primary and secondary schools. The best public secondary school in H City where her sister studies is near her home, just a dozen minutes' walk away.
In the past, these ten minutes would have seemed eternity, but today she was just focused on having fun.
Because today is her birthday, she wants to treat her sister to delicious food.
She came too early. The middle school had not yet finished school. There were not many people at the school gate. The security guard was walking back and forth at the gate bored.
Her appearance at the door at this time was too abrupt. She could not deal with the questions from the adults, so she planned to squat in a corner and go to the door after school.
As I was squatting, a voice suddenly came from above my head.
"Kid, you're in the way."
Yu Huan suddenly looked up and saw a brother sitting on the wall above her head, staring at her.
It seems that I am the child he is talking about.
She didn't stand up, but just moved to the side to make room for others.
Their heads were still tilted back, staring at each other curiously.
This brother looks older than his sister. He is wearing the school uniform of this school. But school is not over yet. Is he... skipping classes?
He doesn't look like a student who skips classes at all, but...
Yu Huan was staring at someone in a trance when he was caught again.
"What are you looking at?"
The other person had already jumped down from the wall and stood in front of her, staring down at her.
His face looked indifferent and his tone was cold. If it were someone else, Yu Huan would probably be scared and wonder if he had made the other person angry.
But strangely, Yu Huan was not afraid in front of this good-looking brother.
"Brother, you are handsome." She answered honestly.
Perhaps he didn't expect her to say that, the boy was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of smile flashed across his eyes.
"You only watch it if it's good? You'll be charged for further viewing."
Meng Han felt a little strange. He didn't like children, especially those half-grown children who were naughty and noisy like his younger brother.
But the little girl in front of him was cute and spoke slowly, which for the first time made him interested in teasing children.
When the little girl heard that she had to pay, she became anxious and said, "I have to pay just for taking a look? Then I won't take a look." She turned back angrily and buried her head in her arms.
Meng Han curled the corners of his mouth and withdrew his gaze. He had no intention of continuing to tease her. It was time for him to leave.
At this time, he should be sitting in the classroom and continuing to act like a good student instead of appearing outside the school gate.
I'm just really tired of living this hypocritical life every day, and suddenly I want to experience the feeling of skipping class.
This is how the scene just now happened.
He raised his leg to walk past the little girl, and just as he was about to go over, a small hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his trouser leg.
Meng Han lowered his head and saw the little girl looking up at him with her eyes tightly closed. "Brother, your shoelaces are loose."
After saying that, she reminded him, "I closed my eyes, but I wasn't looking at you."
Meng Han suddenly didn't want to leave. He squatted down, looked at the little girl who had her eyes tightly closed, afraid to spend money, and said, "How do you know my shoelaces are loose if you didn't see it?"
The little girl was anxious, and hurried to defend herself. She opened her eyes and looked at him: "I didn't see it, I saw it just now."
As soon as I opened my eyes, I met Meng Han's shallow eyes.
"You're not looking at it again."
The little girl couldn't argue with him, and seeing how big he was, she was sure he could kill her with just one slap. She felt panicked and scared, and her eyes immediately turned red.
But she didn't dare cry. If she shed tears at home, she would be scolded even more severely. She habitually held back her tears and didn't dare let them fall.
Meng Han looked at the little girl who seemed about to cry, and his originally depressed mood suddenly improved.
No wonder everyone likes to make kids cry, it’s really... quite interesting.
It aroused the worst nature in the deepest part of his heart, and those destructive factors revived in his blood, making him want to do even more extreme things.
He held out his hand to the little girl, "Ten bucks for one look, give me fifty."
Yu Huan only had a dozen yuan on him, so where did he get fifty yuan?
She was afraid, but she wasn't stupid. How could she charge just for taking a look?
Picking at her fingers, she shook her head and said aggrievedly, "I don't have any money."
"No money? Even if you don't have money, let me beat you up."
Yu Huan was completely panicked now, unable to hold back her tears any longer, and they all fell down in a flash. Her face was sobbing miserably, and she no longer cared about being scared. She complained: "Wu... You are lying. There is no such thing as charging for seeing people. Wuu!!! You are bullying a child!!"
The tears finally fell, and Meng Han felt relieved. He reached out and pinched the ball on the little girl's head, "Well, I lied to you."
Yu Huan was halfway through crying when the other party suddenly stopped. She stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to continue crying or not.
Meng Han stood up and looked at her calmly, "Are you not crying anymore?"
Yu Huan wiped her tears and lowered her head, "I won't cry if you don't charge me."
Meng Han was completely amused by this, and at the same time, he secretly cursed himself for being so boring that he bullied a child to relieve his boredom.
With a rare feeling of guilt, he asked, "Since you're pitiful, I won't charge you. I'll treat you to a meal."
Who knew the other party would refuse decisively, "No! My sister said you can't eat things given by strangers."
Meng Han shrugged and turned away.
Yu Huan didn't dare to look up at the other person, fearing that he would find another excuse to ask her for money. She buried her head and didn't look up until the person left.
As a result, the person didn't walk far and went straight to the convenience store opposite.
Yu Huan was a little curious for a moment and stared at him for a few more seconds until he entered the convenience store.
She realized that her brother was deliberately teasing her.
How annoying!
Why hasn’t my sister finished school yet? I miss her so much.
She lowered her head again and looked at the patterns on the floor tiles, her thoughts flying far away.
When I came back to my senses, there was a bag of candy in front of me.
She recognized this candy. It was very expensive, costing more than twenty yuan per bag.
He looked up doubtfully and met those shallow eyes again.
"Eat candy." After saying that, the other party stuffed the candy directly into her arms.
"I don't..." Before he could utter the word, Yu Huan felt intimidated by the other person's eyes and didn't dare to refuse.
"Eat." The other party gave the order.
He's so fierce...
Well...it's not that he's mean, it's just that he wants her to not dare to disobey.
Yu Huan quietly looked at the package in his hand, and after confirming that it had not been opened and would not be tampered with, he tore open the package and took out a piece of candy from it.
He looked up at the person, slowly tore open the outer packaging, and put the candy into his mouth.
Mmm... so delicious!
At the moment when her taste buds were invaded by the sweetness, she seemed to hear a chuckle.
When I looked up, the other person had already left.
This time he really left, his figure slowly walking away and disappearing from Yu Huan's sight.
Yu Huan was stunned for a while, and the sweetness in his mouth spread throughout his mouth.
Hmm...it seems that this brother is not that annoying after all, and he even treats her to such delicious candy.
