"Sister, why are you walking so fast all of a sudden?"
"Hmm? What are we doing here?"
Yu Xinghe took Zhou Jingyan into a narrow alley and covered his chattering mouth.
"Don't talk."
The alley was very narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass through. They had to lean sideways and stick their bodies together to barely stand inside.
Yu Xinghe looked at the group of people walking outside and buried her face in his chest to avoid them.
A few eyes looked over vaguely, saw the "wild mandarin ducks" embracing each other, and then looked away ambiguously.
Yu Xinghe didn't let go of the hand that was covering his mouth until the familiar voice beside him faded away.
Zhou Jingyan lowered his voice, leaned close to the ear of the person in front of him, and whispered in his ear.
"Is that a friend you know?"
The warm breath spread over her ears, which made her feel inexplicably comfortable.
Yu Xinghe also lowered his voice and stood up straight in the alley.
"I know him, but we're not friends."
Fortunately, she acted quickly, otherwise if they had discovered her, it would have caused a lot of trouble.
They were outnumbered and she was carrying a baby, so she tried to hide whenever possible.
I just hope we won’t meet again in the future.
"Well, then why are we hiding?"
Taking advantage of his height, Zhou Jingyan secretly looked her up and down. The clarity in his eyes was in stark contrast to the babyish voice he spoke in.
"They're just kids, why would they have so many problems?"
Yu Xinghe glared at him slightly and walked out of the alley.
When the warmth on his chest left, Zhou Jingyan was stunned, and his heart felt like there was a hole in it.
He urgently needs her favor to fill the void.
Zhou Jingyan took a few steps and caught up with him.
"Sister, I'm just concerned about you. Concern can lead to confusion. Please don't ignore me, sister."
Yu Xinghe walked forward without saying a word.
It felt like there was a little sparrow circling around me, chirping non-stop.
Feeling upset, Yu Xinghe let out a long sigh.
"Zhou Jingyan, can I discuss something with you?"
"What's up?"
Seeing that she finally paid attention to him, he leaned over eagerly.
"Can you be quiet for a while, just for a while."
Even though she was in a state of confusion, with many thoughts tangled together, she still couldn't bear to say anything harsh to him.
Zhou Jingyan pursed his lips, hung his head and stopped talking.
Those people must have some grudge against her, which is why she was so sensitive and chose to avoid talking about it when they asked about it.
The atmosphere, which had just relaxed a little, became a little dull again.
The market was bustling with people, and the colorful lights created a lively atmosphere.
After walking several steps forward, Zhou Jingyan became listless and stopped talking.
Yu Xinghe stole a glance at him.
Seeing him following behind her quietly, she raised an eyebrow.
Is he unhappy?
She leaned a little to the left and nudged his arm lightly with her elbow.
Who would have thought that he would avoid it in a fit of anger.
Question: What should I do if Zhou Jingyan is unhappy?
Yu Xinghe replied: What else can I do? Everyone has their own consequences. I will deal with the problem myself.
Yu Xinghe curled her lips and took his hand directly. This time he did not dodge.
"Are you angry, little guy?"
When the familiar nickname appeared, Zhou Jingyan's eyes lit up and he almost lost control.
How long has it been since I heard her call me like that?
He held her hand, and all the unhappiness he had just felt disappeared.
Sometimes Zhou Jingyan would wonder if he was too easy to coax, which was why she only treated him as a younger brother.
"Sis dislikes me for talking too much, so I will just be quiet and not talk too much, and then she won't dislike me anymore."
"When did I say I dislike you?"
Yu Xinghe stood in front of him and looked up at him.
Her little boy has really grown up.
Now that I'm taller and have broader shoulders, I'll be someone else's support in the future, right?
There were stars in his eyes, like the midsummer night in Shakespeare's works, quiet and deep.
It retains the innocence of a child, but has a bit more maturity and stability.
"I won't dislike you, nor will I abandon you."
She spoke each word with a serious expression, as if she was making a vow.
Zhou Jingyan almost couldn't hide the most sincere and passionate emotions in his heart.
His pupils trembled, and he took a step forward, holding her in his arms, letting down his guard.
Yu Xinghe patted his back gently.
She always knew that Zhou Jingyan was particularly afraid of being abandoned.
Zhou Jingyan hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to merge her bones and blood with his own, his body trembling slightly.
Because of joy.
It turned out that she had never forgotten the promise she made when she was young.
His parents have been busy since he was young, leaving him alone at home all year round.
I used to live with my grandparents in my hometown, but when I started elementary school, I moved to the house opposite Yu Xinghe's.
The little girl who was only one year older than him was the king of the kids in their area.
All the children looked up to her.
He was a delicate child, not as tall as her, thin and weak, prone to falling, and often got bruised.
They jokingly called him a "eunuch" and a "sissy". They would throw branches at him when they saw him and laugh loudly when they saw him fall.
She was the only one who didn't dislike him.
I take him with me wherever I go, and I help him fight back if anyone bullies him.
Over time, the children privately joked that he was her "little tail" and "lackey."
But no one bullied him again.
He didn't care about the ridicule of those people. No matter what he was to her, as long as he could be with her forever, it would be fine.
