The fair-skinned little boy took a bite and found that the little girl sitting next to him was staring at the steamed bun in his hand. She seemed to want to eat more because she had finished hers.
The little girl's face was dirty, but her eyes were big and clear. The little boy was completely attracted by her eyes. Although his stomach was also very tired, the little boy did not continue to eat the steamed bun in his hand, but handed it away.
"Here you go," he said.
The little girl was very hungry and wanted to eat something, but each person only had one steamed bun, and she had already eaten it and could not eat anymore.
The little girl stared at the steamed bun in the boy's hand with envy. She shook her head and stretched out her dirty little hand to push the little boy's hand away.
She doesn't eat.
"It's okay, I'm not hungry, you eat it." The little boy handed the steamed bun over again.
When the little girl heard the little boy say that he was not hungry, her heart was moved. He was not hungry, but she was starving to death. The little girl stretched out her hand weakly.
"Are you really going to give it to me?" asked the little girl.
"Yeah." The little boy nodded.
"But you only ate one bite, aren't you hungry?" the little girl asked him.
The boy shook his head: "I'm not hungry, I'll give it all to you."
"Thank you." The little girl took the steamed bun and took a bite: "What's your name?" she asked the little boy.
These past two days, someone asked the little boy his name for the first time, and he didn't know how to tell the little girl his name.
Shen Xuan?
No, this name no longer belongs to him, he shouldn't be called this name.
"Li Xuan." The little boy thought for a moment and said to the little girl.
"What a nice name. You look older than me, so can I call you Brother Xuan?" said the little girl.
Brother Xuan?
There used to be a little girl who also liked to call him that, but unfortunately he can no longer hear it now. However, he will always remember that girl's voice.
"No." Li Xuan shook his head.
Brother Xuan, only the little girl named Duoduo can call you these three words. No other girls can call you this.
"Then what should I call you?" The little girl looked at Li Xuan.
This person is so weird! Giving her steamed buns clearly means being nice to her! Why can't she even call him "brother"? Is he that stingy?
"Whatever, except Brother Xuan." Li Xuan said.
"Then I'll call you Xiaoxuan." said the little girl.
"Okay." Li Xuan didn't object.
"Do you want to eat?" The little girl had only eaten half of the steamed bun in her hand. She ate very slowly because she felt it was not good to eat it all. Li Xuan must be very hungry too.
"I'm not hungry." Li Xuan shook his head.
As soon as he said he was not hungry, his stomach started growling. It was not that he was not hungry at all, he was very, very hungry.
"Your stomach is growling, how can you not be hungry? Take it! You have to eat your fill, and we can't starve to death." The little girl stuffed half a steamed bun in her hand to Li Xuan: "Here you go."
Li Xuan took the steamed bun that he had just eaten half of. Now the bun had become dirty and black after passing through the little girl's hands, but he didn't think it was dirty. Instead, he started to eat it bite by bite.
"What's your name?" Li Xuan asked.
"I don't even know my last name. Everyone calls me Diandian. You can call me Diandian too!" The little girl looked at Li Xuan innocently. This little brother was different from the other brothers.
He is very fair and has clear eyes, but he always frowns, as if he has something on his mind.
"Yeah." Li Xuan nodded.
"Xiaoxuan, why are you here? Where is your home?" Diandian asked.
Home?
Li Xuan originally had a home, a big home, and great parents, but now he is gone, and none of that belongs to him anymore.
"I don't have a home." Li Xuan shook his head and continued to bite the steamed bun in his hand. The more he ate, the drier it felt. He suddenly felt a very bad feeling in his heart, as if there was a big rock blocking him, and the feeling of being unable to move up or down was quite uncomfortable.
"Are you like us, a child who is not wanted by parents?" Diandian asked again.
"Yeah." Li Xuan nodded: "Don't you have anyone who wants you? Don't you have any family?"
"Ever since I can remember, I have been living in this area and have survived until now by eating at other people's houses. I didn't have any family before, but now I have one, and that's you, Xiaoxuan! From now on, we will be a family, okay?" Diandian likes Li Xuan very much because he is different from all the other children.
"Are we a family?" Li Xuan looked at Diandian.
They just met today and went to the mall together to dress up as little yellow ducks. Their final reward was a cold steamed bun.
Are they a family now? Li Xuan looked at Diandian. Does he have a family now?
"Yes, it's not just you and me, but also them, we are all a family. But I will be closer to you, and I will protect you in the future, and you have to protect me too." Diandian suddenly stood up and patted her body with her chubby little hands. She looked quite cute.
Li Xuan also stood up: "Okay, we will protect each other."
