"Brother, brother!"
Xie Jingcheng leaned back on the bench, and from a distance he could hear the little girl's cheerful voice, as if she had inexhaustible energy.
"Here you go!" Chaochao handed him a piece of candy like it was a treasure, comforting him at the same time, "Eat this candy, and all your troubles will disappear~ It's okay if the dog doesn't like you, Chaochao likes you!"
So don't be sad because of a naughty dog.
Xie Jingcheng held the candy, looked at her, a dark light flickering in his eyes, and remained silent.
Thinking he didn't know what it was, Chaochao kindly said, "It's a lollipop, it's delicious."
She always feels better after eating candy!
Xie Jingcheng: "..." He knew.
"You...aren't you afraid?"
Me?
His voice was slightly hoarse.
Xie Jingcheng has sharp eyebrows and eyes, an extremely aggressive appearance, a cold gaze, and a neat buzz cut; he looks like someone you don't want to mess with. Ever since he beat up a thug on the street, he has unknowingly become known as the "school bully" among a group of middle school students. High school students are afraid of him, let alone children under ten.
Although it wasn't to the point of stopping a child from crying, Xie Yulin's five-year-old illegitimate son was so frightened by him that his legs went weak.
As he spoke, the young man's handsome face darkened, and his deep, three-dimensional features became even more aggressive.
They wanted to discourage the girl.
Then he wouldn't need to spend time dealing with this undisguised concern.
Why be afraid?
Chaochao was puzzled; half of her heart was focused on the neglected lollipop.
This is candy! Why aren't you eating it yet?
She couldn't wait any longer and peeled off the candy coating for Xie Jingcheng, holding it up to the boy's lips, "Brother, eat it quickly."
Xie Jingcheng subconsciously opened his mouth, and the moment the candy entered his mouth, the overwhelming sweetness diluted the original bitterness in his mouth.
...Hmm, it tastes pretty good.
Chaochao swallowed hard, her mouth watering.
My mood does seem to be a little better now.
Xie Jingcheng, with a candy in his mouth, saw the little dumpling's drooling look, raised an eyebrow, and deliberately said, "The candy is quite delicious."
The little guy swallowed even louder.
Xie Jingcheng's mood actually improved.
The next second, his superb facial expression control allowed him to regain his indifferent demeanor.
He has no interest in teasing three-year-olds.
childish.
Having learned from the previous near-miss with adult traffickers, Xie Jingcheng asked, "You live here?"
“Yes,” Chaochao pointed to the Huo family's house not far away, “I live there!”
Xie Jingcheng had a vague recollection of that villa.
Isn't that the Huo family's house?
Huo Qin didn't come back here often, but by chance, Xie Jingcheng ran into him once, and thus had a faint memory of him.
So is she Huoqin's daughter?
Xie Jingcheng lowered his eyes.
"Brother, you can come and play with me if you're bored."
Chaochao stared at him longingly.
Xie Jingcheng: "I'm not bored."
"Can I come to your house to play?"
"Can't."
His parents' marriage was a business arrangement, a powerful alliance. After the joint heir was identified, the marriage existed in name only, and they each went their separate ways.
I rarely come back to this house.
Xie Jingcheng owns a house near the school.
He wouldn't have come back if the head of the teaching department hadn't forced him to take leave.
"Uh..." The little dumpling responded dejectedly after being rejected, without asking why.
It looks like a wilted sunflower.
Xie Jingcheng recalled his only encounter with Huo Qin. The man was tall and aloof, his indifferent eyes devoid of any warmth, and his entire being exuded the dignity and oppression of a superior.
Growing up in such an environment, the little dumpling must have lacked love and care.
I felt a little reluctant.
Xie Jingcheng paused for a moment, "...I will come to pick up the things tomorrow."
Chaochao instantly perked up like a lightbulb, "Yay! I'll come find you to play!"
Xie Jingcheng: "..."
Why did he suddenly change his mind?
From afar, Chaochao heard Aunt Ning calling her to come home for dinner.
The little girl immediately waved goodbye to him, "Auntie is looking for me, I have to go home now, see you tomorrow, brother!"
Then, clutching the little ball, she ran off quickly, her sweet, childlike voice ringing out, "I'm here! I'm here! My food!—"
"..."
Xie Jingcheng's figure, sitting alone on the bench, looked somewhat lonely.
How should I put it, I feel like I'm not even as good as a meal?
Wait... why is he comparing it to food?
childish.
The next morning, after finishing breakfast, Chaochao couldn't wait to jump off the stool and run to the door.
Huo Qin stretched out his long arm and pulled her back, his eyes narrowing. "Where are you going?"
Chaochao flapped her wings twice in mid-air: "I want to go play with my brother!"
Huo Qin's eyes grew even more dangerous: "Brother? I don't remember having a son."
"He's an older brother that Chaochao met outside. He calls him Brother Jingcheng! He lives over there!"
My brother told her her name yesterday.
As she spoke, she pointed in a direction with her chubby little finger.
Huo Qin frowned and sneered, "Brother Jingcheng?"
He forcefully pressed the little girl onto the soft cushion of the stool, and seeing her pitiful little expression, he swallowed back the words "can't go".
"...Wait here for now."
Chaochao asked, puzzled, "Why? If we go earlier, I can play with my brother for a little longer."
She'd been looking forward to it all night!
Huo Qin coldly brushed it off, saying, "He hasn't had breakfast yet. Does he expect to play with you on an empty stomach?"
Chaochao shook her head violently, "No, no, no! Being hungry is too uncomfortable." She remembered the last time she was hungry, she felt like every breath she took was a drop of life, and all she wanted to do was stick to the bed.
