"Why?" The child was puzzled, and even a little angry.
In reality, he was truly kind for once. Born into that kind of family, indifference towards individuals seemed to be an innate ability. And he was an outstanding figure in every way.
The sight of this frail girl, whose plight was so pitiful yet who struggled to survive like a weed, stirred a rare pity and compassion in him.
The result? I was actually rejected?
"Young man, you're so handsome it's unfair!" Yun Duo wailed inwardly. Seeing the boy's clear eyes and the confusion and anger on his face, Yun Duo always felt like she had committed a heinous crime.
How could I refuse the kindness of such a cute little person?
That's so wrong!
Yun Duo lowered her head, forcing herself not to look at the child, and whispered, "I need your help, really, I desperately need it. But you don't need to support me; I can support myself." "As long as I can get rid of them, I can live on my own. I know you mean well, and I'm grateful. But if I can live on my own, why should I rely on others?"
He paused, raised his voice slightly, and emphasized his tone, then added, "I'm very capable, really!"
"Then why don't you look me in the eye when you talk?" The child's voice sounded somewhat resentful. He felt that Yunduo was lying to him.
“Because…” Yun Duo suddenly looked up but then sighed, covered her eyes, and thought to herself, “Because you are beautiful, I feel that refusing your kindness is a crime.”
"Cough cough cough cough..."
It wasn't until Zhang Yang, who was sitting not far away, let out a violent cough that Yun Duo realized she had spoken her mind.
Meow, blushing! So embarrassed!
It wasn't just the cloud that blushed, nor was it just the cloud that was embarrassed.
In fact, the child's face was redder than the clouds, all the way to the roots of his ears.
Even though he was the least favored by his father among his brothers, he had received a lot of praise since he was old enough to understand things, and of course, international friends had also complimented him on his good looks. However, this was the first time he had been so directly praised for his good looks by someone his own age.
For some reason, if someone else praised him like that, he would feel annoyed, but when this little girl praised him like that, he felt pretty good, except for feeling shy and embarrassed.
After a long while, the child finally spoke, somewhat incoherently, "Thank you, but you didn't really need to say it... Also, if you yourself feel that you shouldn't refuse my kindness, then... don't refuse, okay?"
"Because I also want to grow into a towering tree, not a dodder that can only cling to trees." This time, Yun Duo finally looked at the child and said this with a serious expression.
Even though it might arouse suspicion—how could a young country girl who had never been to school, never read books, never seen the world, and was still so young, say such a thing—she still said it with utmost seriousness.
In fact, Chief of Security Zhang Yang's brows furrowed.
Because this is indeed not something a country bumpkin could say, or even something a girl her age could say.
However, before he could express his doubts, the child spoke up.
“Okay, I understand. What do you want me to do? Tell me, and I’ll help you.” The child’s tone and expression became extremely serious.
Although he was young, he knew that every self-reliant person deserves respect. This was something his grandmother taught him.
Now, he sees a spirit of independence and self-reliance in a girl.
Therefore, he respected her choice.
Genuine respect.
