"Brother, why are you sitting here?"

The child's innocent question hurt Xiang Zhao's heart. If possible, he didn't want to be alone like this, but if he didn't stay here, where could he go?

He raised his head and glanced at the little girl in front of him. On her fair and chubby face, under two eyebrows that were as curved as the crescent moon, were a pair of big, watery eyes. She was looking at him piercingly, as if she was very curious.

.

With such a cute little face, she must be a child who is loved by her family.

Pursing his lips, Xiang Zhao's expression became even more obscure as he thought of his depressive 'home'.

Seeing that Xiang Zhao didn't answer her, Su Tang wasn't angry either. She never seemed to be angry, as if the little dumpling had a curious expression on her fleshy face.

The little girl blinked her eyes, like a puppy wagging its tail, surrounding Xiang Zhao, and deliberately warned him in a tone that she felt was bad.

"It's raining heavily today. If you don't go home soon, you'll get soaked to the bone!"

Xiang Zhao was just silent, it wasn't that he didn't want to talk to Su Tang, it was just that Xiang Zhao was really tired.

However, Su Tang was not aware of this. The girl just knelt down to talk to him and tentatively called, "Big brother?"

After pondering for a long time, Xiang Zhao finally spoke, but there was only endless bitterness in the young man's words.

"Leave me alone and go home quickly."

Hearing this, Su Tang blinked and said, "It's raining so hard that I can't go home now. My mother said that I'm not in good health and I'll get sick easily if I get caught in the rain."

As she said that, the girl's eyes rolled and she looked at Xiang Zhao again, "Why don't you go home, brother?"

His face turned gloomy, and Xiang Zhao forced his tone to sound very calm, as if he didn't care at all.

"I don't have a home."

Hearing what Xiang Zhao said, Su Tang seemed to be unable to understand the meaning. He shook his head and said, "It's impossible, because everyone has a mom and dad, and the place with mom and dad is home."

The girl's innocent and childish words seemed to have dealt with Xiang Zhao's heart. He smiled helplessly. The expression on his face was finally not so embarrassing. The young man just said a little tiredly.

"But little sister, my parents don't want me to go back to that 'home'."

In fact, in a sense, they should hope that they can go back, but they hope so not to let themselves return 'home', but to use him to obtain another sum of money.

Maybe they have even contacted the next human trafficker now, planning to get him back and sell him again under the guise of family ties.

Even assuming that they suddenly had a conscience, or were worried that they had any evidence that could be used to prosecute them, and did not sell him as a commodity again, even so, Xiang Zhao did not want to go back.

He hated it there, and he especially hated school. His experience of being bullied at school made him hate everything there.

Thinking of the past, Xiang Zhao couldn't help but feel discouraged. He even felt that it would be easier to just wander around like this. Although he didn't have enough food and clothing, but the worst he could do was to die, it was better than staying in that suffocating place.

good.

However, just when Xiang Zhao's heart was becoming more and more closed, he suddenly felt a pair of warm little hands of mine grasping his own, which had lost its temperature due to the rain and was extremely cold.

It was Su Tang who held his hand.

I saw that the little girl was very serious and didn't say anything jokingly.

"Since eldest brother's parents don't want you, come to my house! Although I don't have a father, I have the best mother in the world!"

When talking about her mother, Su Tang tried her best to spread her hands, as if she wanted to express the meaning of "the best in the world".

Seeing her like this, Xiang Zhao couldn't help laughing.

Hearing Xiang Zhao's smile, Su Tang misunderstood. She thought it was Xiang Zhao who felt that this was not enough, so in order to increase the weight, after hesitating for several minutes with a wrinkled face, the girl jerked awkwardly.

Sniffling, he said very quietly.

"Okay, okay, it's not impossible for me to share some of my mother's food with my eldest brother."

The girl's childish and straightforward words warmed Xiang Zhao's long-frozen heart.

He thought about the past again. From the time Xiang Zhao could remember, his father had been addicted to alcohol and refused to face the reality. During those days, the home was filled with the stench of alcohol, his mother's tears, and the breathless...

Unpleasantly depressed.

Once upon a time, going to school was Xiang Zhao's only happiness. Only in school could he forget everything at home and enjoy the school life carefree. As for studying, maybe it was because the young man was talented and intelligent, but he basically didn't study much.

Able to get first place in grade.

Coupled with that very good-looking face, it is inevitable that she will attract the love of girls.

At that time, Xiang Zhao was separated from the person he was at school and the person he was at home.

In school, he is a popular and popular top student with excellent academic performance, but at home, he is a numb existence who allows others to bully him.

The change came after Xiang Zhao beat up someone. It was a senior boy who didn't like Xiang Zhao. Xiang Zhao originally didn't want to talk to him, but that person still refused to let him go, and even poked Xiang Zhao's sore spot, which was him.

family.

When he came back to his senses, he was sitting astride the man, grabbing his bloody collar.

He almost killed someone.

After that, Xiang Zhao was suspended from school for a whole semester. When he returned to school again, everything was different.

Fear, disgust, contempt, ridicule.

He became the lowest-ranking person in the school because the senior boy he beat up before was quite well-connected, so he brought a lot of disasters to Xiang Zhao. Although Xiang Zhao never gave in to these bullying, he was ultimately unable to defeat four hands with two fists.

, showing up with injuries almost every day.

As for exams, out of a need to vent his anger, Xiang Zhao often turned in blank papers and gave them full marks. Although he was talked to several times, Xiang Zhao's stubborn character made even the teacher angry in the end.

Looking back on my past, some are deserved, and some are just innocent disasters.

But no matter what the situation was, no one ever reached out to him or stopped him.

I will always be the one abandoned.

But now, someone reached out to him.

Looking at the young hands in front of him, Xiang Zhao couldn't help but open his eyes wide, feeling extremely shocked.

Taking a deep breath, the young man covered his face with his hands tiredly, raised his head slightly, and asked Su Tang almost painfully.

"Why?"
