He took a few steps forward and walked in front of Ling'er.

Ling'er sensed Hu Yu's approach, turned her head sideways and smiled at him.

Hu Yu lowered his head, looking at Ling'er's familiar smile, still with a hint of shyness, the short and chubby cute little ball in his memory has now fully grown up, grown up, and turned into a beautiful girl. But what remains unchanged is her still pure and clean smile, as well as clear and flawless eyes.

No matter how much time has passed, the years have changed, but they have not been able to erase the cleanliness and clarity in Ling'er's eyes. Whenever he looked at her eyes, Hu Yu felt that one of his hearts was indulged in it. It's just that he has been subconsciously ignoring his feelings and unwilling to face his true thoughts.

Such a self, but let Ling'er wait for so many years without regrets, and still treat him as before, he is really a bastard.

It can't be avoided like this anymore.

Otherwise, if his Ling'er really runs away one day, or disappears in front of him, how should he deal with himself at that time?

When Hu Yu thought of this, his heart suddenly twitched, the slightest pain spread, and his eyes were also infected with panic.

No, he couldn't let that happen. Just thinking about it, Ling'er might leave him, this incident was enough to make him feel suffocated.

Although Ling'er is very simple-minded, she has always had a keen sense of the person she likes. Therefore, when Hu Yu approached him, Ling'er quickly realized that something seemed to be wrong with his emotions.

Thinking like this, Ling'er couldn't help but ask with concern: "Brother Yu, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" You don't look very good. ”

Hu Yu didn't seem to hear Ling'er's words at the moment, and didn't have any reaction. But for so many years, Ling'er has long been accustomed to Hu Yu's attitude.

Others don't know Brother Yu, but she knows it very well.

Although Brother Yu always puts on a ruthless appearance, in fact, his heart is softer than anyone else. This matter, maybe no one will believe it at all, jokes, that decisive and cruel, absolutely ruthless man, will have a soft heart? What kind of joke is this?

But over the years, Ling'er has never changed her attitude and thoughts towards Hu Yu, because she saw it at the beginning.

Ling'er seemed to think of something, and there was a trace of trance in her eyes.

That day, she was in the yard as usual, and somehow, she accidentally walked into a very dilapidated yard. Because she is very naughty, small, and always loves to run around, the nurse didn't keep up with her for a while, and fell behind a lot.

Ling'er walked up and down, and then seemed to hear something, and a trace of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

She held her breath, stretched her short neck and listened hard, faintly hearing a weak cat meow.

It's a cat.

Ling'er's eyes lit up suddenly, she liked these cute little animals the most.

Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, Ling'er groped in the direction where the faint meow of the cat was. I didn't realize that I was only one person, but Ling'er had always been bold and well protected, so she didn't care about this at all.

She is still different from the delicate and delicate eldest lady of ordinary aristocratic families.

Ling'er searched for a while, and soon saw a cat behind a bush, and at the same time, a little boy in tattered clothes.

The cat was lying on the ground softly, stretching out its little red tongue/head, adding one of its legs, and the leg was stained with blood.

Although Ling'er was young, she also realized that this poor cat was probably injured. Ling'er just wanted to speak, but was attracted by the little boy.

The boy's face was even a little dirty, and he looked like a little beggar, but he had a pair of extremely cold eyes, full of determination and ruthlessness, not at all like the eyes of a little boy should have.

But such a little boy who was in tatters, like crawling out of a garbage heap, was holding a small piece of steamed bun in his hand, and was carefully feeding the injured cat.

The cat barked a little weakly, but still swallowed the steamed bun/head that the little boy had fed in small gulps.

Watching it eat the steamed buns, the little boy's narrow eyes flashed a trace of extremely shallow gentleness, mixed with a hint of laughter, perhaps he didn't notice it himself.

The little boy said softly: "Cat, you eat quickly, I will go to work later, otherwise my mother-in-law will scold." I only have this steamed bun/head, don't dislike it, when I have meat in the future, I will definitely feed you. ”

The cat seemed to understand the little boy's words, and after eating the steamed buns, it rubbed the little boy's palm with its little head. The little boy felt the soft touch in his hand, and couldn't help but grin slightly, revealing a shallow smile.

At this moment, the sun was setting, and the shallow sunlight just sprinkled on the little boy's body, and he was in the sun, as if his body was plated with a thin layer of golden light. The boy looked at the weak cat in front of him with gentle eyes, and gently placed one hand on its head, caressing/touching it carefully and gently.

Although the little boy's face was a little dirty, it could not hide his handsome little face, coupled with serious and focused eyes. At that moment, it hit Ling'er's little heart.

She looked at this scene in a trance, feeling her heart "fluttering" and beating, she covered her chest, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, not knowing why she was like this.

But there was more of this thought in her heart, that is, she wanted to be close to this little boy, she wanted to go over and talk to him, play with him, and hope that he would ...... You can still smile like that.

Ling'er was about to walk over at that time, but she was afraid that she would surprise the little boy. At this moment, there was a cry of the nurse in the distance, and the little boy seemed to feel something, and the gentleness in his eyes suddenly converged, and he looked around a few times with some vigilance.

Ling'er didn't expect the little boy's eyes to suddenly become so fierce, his expression changed as soon as he said it, and he subconsciously shrank back, afraid of being discovered by him.

Subconsciously, she didn't want the little boy to look at her like this. If he does this, his heart ...... It will hurt.

The little person didn't know what it was like, but her intuition made her subconsciously make such a move.

Fortunately, when the little boy noticed that someone seemed to be approaching, he quickly walked away with the cat in his arms.

Ling'er was not discovered by him, and after the little boy left, Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief.

The nurse soon came to Ling'er with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Little Miss, why are you running around again, what can you do if you encounter any danger?"

Ling'er didn't seem to hear the nurse's soft reproach, she clenched her palm, only she knew that her little palm was already covered with sweat at the moment.

She looked at the other side of the grass, with a hint of relaxation in her eyes, and at the same time, a hint of loss that she hadn't even noticed.

The little boy, I don't know who it was, she didn't even talk to him.

But Ling'er's temperament has always been the type that will never be discouraged in case of trouble, and Hu Yu's "reputation" at that time was indeed very loud, just ask, she knew the identity of the little boy.

The little boy's mother had died a long time ago, and he was only a second-class maid in the house before, with a low status, and a child born out of wedlock, which was criticized by many people. After the little boy was born, he had no father or mother, but fortunately, Mrs. Fuzhong took pity on him when he was young and put him next to an old woman to raise him. However, when the little boy was a few years old, the old woman had already died, and no one in the house cared about him, so he did the lowest, dirty work, just to get a bite to eat.

Many people in the palace knew that he was an illegitimate child, and his mother's behavior was very despicable at that time, so he had no pity for this little boy in his heart, only contempt.

In their eyes, Hu Yu should not have been born at all, who knows where he came from?

Therefore, at a young age, Hu Yu has already seen a lot of cold eyes and ridicule. He had long been accustomed to all this, and he had hated and resented it, but in the end, it all came to peace.

In the end, he was too weak.

If he had become stronger, he would not have been treated like this at all. He can't choose his life experience, but his future life is in his hands.

Therefore, Hu Yu is definitely not a man who sits still.

After Ling'er learned what happened to Hu Yu, her little heart was shocked, she had been well protected since she was a child, and she had hardly seen such a thing. I didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen to such a little boy. No wonder, his face is dirty, his clothes are so shabby, and he can only eat steamed buns/heads to get by.

It seems, there are even some malnutrition.

Ling'er was very distressed.

Since that day, she has been running to Hu Yu's small broken yard every day, although her father and mother will not say anything, but she is afraid of what harm she will suffer.

But Hu Yu has never done anything out of the ordinary to her, and Ling'er is unwilling to give in, so over time, she will go with her.

Every time Ling'er came to the small courtyard, she always brought him a lot of delicious things, and she would watch him eat all before he left satisfied, leaving nothing for him.

Those subordinates didn't dare to bully Hu Yu anymore, and the little lady didn't give him anything valuable, even if they were itchy in their hearts, they didn't do anything out of the ordinary in the end.

Therefore, Hu Yu has been steadily, from a dirty little boy to a calm teenager.

I have to say that a large part of this is due to Ling'er.

Hu Yu has been unconsciously opening his heart for so many years, but he has not yet realized it. He couldn't figure out how Ling'er, such a noble and delicate lady, could fall in love with him at that time, a dirty, cloudy-eyed, malnourished little bean ding.

But Hu Yu didn't know that a long time ago, when he touched the cat and fed it his only bit of food without hesitation, everything was already destined.

Ling'er always knew that Hu Yu, who could show such gentle eyes to the injured cat, must be extremely gentle in his heart.

For so many years, she was the only one who touched that softness.

This matter has always been hidden in her heart, and it is her secret.
