Chapter 264: Family
"Big brother, why are you sitting here?"
The child's innocent question stung Xiang Zhao's heart, if he could, he didn't want to be alone like this, but if he didn't stay here, where could he go?
Looking up at the little girl in front of him, on the white and round face, under the two eyebrows that were curved like a crescent moon, there were a pair of big watery eyes, looking at him with a bright eye, as if he was very curious.
With such a cute little face, she must be a child who is loved by her family.
Pursing his lips, remembering his depressing 'home', Xiang Zhao's expression became even more obscure.
Seeing that Xiang Zhao didn't answer herself, Su Tang wasn't angry, she never seemed to be angry, as if Xiao Tuanzi's fleshy face showed a curious look.
The little girl blinked her eyes like a puppy wagging its tail around Xiang Zhao, deliberately warning in a tone that she felt was bad.
"It's raining so hard today, if you don't go home soon, you'll be drenched!"
Xiang Zhao was just silent, it wasn't that he didn't want to deal with Su Tang, it's just that Xiang Zhao was really tired.
However, Su Tang couldn't notice this, the girl just squatted down and shouted tentatively with him, "Big brother? β
After brewing for a long time, Xiang Zhao finally spoke, but in the young man's words, there was only endless bitterness.
"Leave me alone, you can go home quickly."
Hearing this, Su Tang blinked and said, "The rain is so heavy, I can't go home now, my mother said that I am not in good health, and it is easy to get sick if I am drenched in the rain." β
As she spoke, the girl's eyes rolled and she looked at Xiang Zhao again, "Why doesn't the big brother go home?" β
His face became gloomy, and Xiang Zhaoqiang's tone sounded very flat, as if he didn't care at all.
"I don't have a home."
Hearing what Xiang Zhao said, Su Tang didn't seem to understand the meaning, shook his head and said, "It's impossible, because everyone has a father and mother, and where there are parents is home." β
The girl's innocent and childish words seemed to deal with Xiang Zhao's heart, he smiled helplessly, the expression on his face was finally not so embarrassed, and the young man just said a little tiredly.
"But my little sister, my parents, don't want me to go back to that 'home'."
In fact, in a sense, they should want to go back, but they hope so much, not to return to 'home', but to use him to get another amount of money.
Maybe they have even contacted the next trafficker now, planning to find him back and sell him again under the guise of family affection.
Even if they assumed that their conscience suddenly found out, or they were worried that they had some evidence in their hands that could be used against 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, and the experience of being bullied at school made him hate everything there.
Thinking of the past, Xiang Zhao couldn't help but feel disheartened, and even felt that it was better to wander like this but to be more relaxed, although he couldn't eat enough and didn't have enough clothes and no warmth, but the big deal was death, it was better than staying in that place where he suffocated.
However, just when Xiang Zhao's heart was becoming more and more closed, he suddenly felt that a pair of warm little hands of mine were holding his hands that had lost their temperature and were extremely cold due to the rain.
It was Su Tang who held his hand.
I saw that the little girl was very serious, and she didn't joke at all.
"Since my big brother's parents don't want you anymore, come to my house! I don't have a father, but I have the best mom in the world! β
When talking about his mother, Su Tang tried to spread his hands, as if he wanted to express the meaning of 'the best in the world'.
Looking at her like this, Xiang Zhao couldn't help laughing.
Hearing Xiang Zhao's laughter, Su Tang misunderstood, she thought that Xiang Zhao felt that this was not enough, so in order to increase the weight, after wrinkling her face and hesitating for a few minutes, the girl snorted awkwardly and said in an extremely low voice.
"Okay, okay, it's not impossible for me to give my mother a little bit to my big brother."
The girl's immature and straightforward words warmed Xiang Zhao's long-frozen heart.
He remembered the past again, since Xiang Zhao remembered, his father had been intoxicated with alcohol and unwilling to face reality, during that time, the home was filled with the stench of alcohol, the tears of his mother, and the breathless depression.
When did he have it,Going to school is Xiang Zhao's only happiness,Only in school can he forget everything at home,Carefree and enjoy the school life,As for reading,Maybe it's a young talent and intelligence,He basically doesn't study much and often gets the first good grades in the gradeγ
Coupled with that very good-looking face, it inevitably aroused the love of the girls.
At that time, Xiang Zhao, who was at school, was separated from him at home.
At school, he is a popular school bully with excellent grades, but at home, he is a numb existence who is bullied.
The change was after Xiang Zhao beat someone, it was a senior boy who didn't like Xiang Zhao, Xiang Zhao didn't want to deal with him, but that person still didn't give up, and even poked Xiang Zhao's sore spot, that is, his family.
When he came to his senses, he was straddled the man, tugging at his bloody collar.
He almost killed someone.
After that, Xiang Zhao was suspended for an entire semester, and by the time he returned to school, everything was different.
Fear, disgust, contempt, ridicule.
He became the lowest existence in the school, because the senior boy he beat before had a good connection, so it also caused a lot of disasters to Xiang Zhao, although Xiang Zhao never succumbed to these bullies, but after all, his fists were invincible to his four hands, and he appeared with injuries almost every day.
As for the exam, out of a kind of venting psychology, Xiang Zhao often handed in a blank paper with a full score, although he was asked to talk to several times, but Xiang Zhao's stubborn personality, in the end, even the teacher was angry.
Recalling their past, some of them deserve it, and some of them are just simple disasters.
But in either case, no one ever reached out to him or stopped him.
I will always be the one who is abandoned.
Now, however, someone has reached out to him.
Looking at the immature little hand in front of him, Xiang Zhao couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his heart was extremely shocked.
Exhaling deeply, the young man tiredly covered his face with his hands, raised his head slightly, and asked Su Tang almost painfully.
"Why?"
The voice was full of trembling and fragility, which made people can't help but feel distressed.
