In Ye Aotian's study.
Both Ye Yichen and Ye Aotian felt awkward, but Ye Aotian broke the deadlock.
"Seventh Brother, what kind of person is our little sister? I want to know more about her."
"Big brother, I'm surprised you say that. Haven't you always disliked Xiaoxi? I don't know why you don't like her. Xiaoxi is such a wonderful girl."
Ye Yichen was lost in memories, recalling the scene when he found Xiaoxi two years ago, a memory that still pained him to think about.
But is it necessary to tell Xiaoxi's older brother about her past?
Although his older brother played a very important role in his upbringing.
Forget it, don't think about it too much. They're all children of the Ye family.
Let the older brother and Xiaoxi get to know each other. How far their relationship will go in the future depends on Xiaoxi's own feelings and choices.
"Big brother should know that it was I who found Xiaoxi and brought her home."
Ye Yichen suddenly felt that relying solely on his memories and descriptions was very empty and colorless, so he decided to take his older brother out for a walk and a look around.
The two brothers drove to the large landfill in the north of the city.
Although it is already the beginning of spring, the afternoon sun has no warmth at all, and the wind is like a knife, blowing rotten plastic bags all over the garbage dump.
“Before Xiaoxi was six years old, or even earlier, she lived alone in this huge garbage dump for several years.”
"What?!"
Ye Aotian was shocked. He only knew that Xiaoxi had been found from outside, but he never expected that Xiaoxi had lived such a miserable life before.
The cold weather was a relief; there was no unpleasant smell emanating from the landfill.
Not far away, several scavengers were arguing and even fighting over an enamel toilet seat.
Suddenly, a scene popped into Ye Aotian's mind: their little sister was fighting with this group of people over some broken and tattered things.
How could a little girl like Xiaoxi be a match for these vicious people?
Ye Yichen looked at Ye Aotian's calm and cold face, and then at the others fighting to the death. The two brothers fell into a silent silence.
Ye Yichen suddenly felt a surge of secret satisfaction. He knew he had to come out; this was what made the experience truly immersive and exciting. See? His older brother was stunned; his inner thoughts must be racing.
Ye Yichen decided to keep up the good work and took Ye Aotian to see the shack where Xiaoxi used to live.
That makeshift shack made of a few rotten logs and plastic woven bags has now been occupied by a homeless man.
A homeless man was boiling water in a filthy stainless steel basin in front of his shack, then munching on a moldy loaf of bread.
He must have choked on the bread because he ate it too quickly. The water hadn't boiled yet, so the homeless man hurriedly scooped up a bowl of water from the broken bowl and drank it down before he felt better.
Ye Aotian imagined that Xiaoxi used to fill her stomach with things she found. Look at this shack, how could she survive the winter?
He recalled what he had said at home: "Xiaoya's background is pitiful, Xiaoya is so lonely."
What did Xiaoxi say at that time? Xiaoxi said, "I'm all alone out there, and I'm doing just fine!"
When he tried to take away Xiaoxi's hamster, Xiaoxi said, "Xiaodou was my good friend who kept me company when I was a beggar."
Ye Aotian suddenly felt a pang of heartache; he didn't want to stay in this garbage dump for even a second longer.
His eyes were red as he whispered, "I never imagined Xiaoxi had lived such a life before." An overwhelming wave of regret washed over him.
Ye Yichen actually heard what his older brother said, but pretended not to.
Hmph, regretting it now? Serves you right! Who told you to bully our little sister?
