It was summer, the scorching sun was in the sky, the sun was scorching and dazzling, and Liu Huaixin, who was flashing, couldn't open his eyes. He raised his hand to block the sun, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a child not far away, squatting in a dark corner.

He only felt familiar, but he couldn't remember if he had ever seen the child. When he walked in, he was shocked - the child was covered in dust, and the shoe prints on his clothes were impressive, and he looked like he had just been bullied.

The boy bowed his head and curled himself up in a small ball. Liu Huaixin stood still in front of him and squatted down: "Are you okay?" ”

When the child heard someone speak, he shrank and raised his head, revealing a small face carved in pink, whose fair complexion made the bruises on his forehead more striking; His eyes were red, his cheeks were full of tears, and he was tilting his head at this time, looking at Liu Huaixin viciously: "Why did you come!" Although the tone was tough, the helplessness in his eyes was difficult to hide.

Liu Huaixin's mind was a little confused, but he subconsciously lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry." He didn't know why he apologized, but he felt he should.

"Who bullied you?" Liu Huaixin looked at the bruises on the child's face and was very distressed.

The child snorted: "Who else could it be?" Those damned servants bullied me while my father was away, and when he comes back, I'm going to complain to him! After speaking, he shook his small fist.

Liu Huaixin knew that this was a child who was not favored in his own house, maybe he was just a concubine, and his aunt was not powerful, so he could only be bullied by his subordinates. His father only had one wife, and his mother had only one child, so he didn't have any idea of the concubine, but this did not affect his understanding of how miserable the life of the concubine in other houses was. For a while, he felt even more pity for this child, and wanted to reach out and touch his head, but was shocked to find that his hand had shrunk to the size of a child, what was going on!

The thoughts in his mind were knotted for a while, and he could only freeze in place, and the child looked at his movements full of doubts: "What's wrong with you?" He stared at Liu Huaixin's outstretched hand and thought for a while, revealing a look of sudden realization: "Thank you." After speaking, he also stretched out his little hand, grabbed Liu Huaixin, and stood up with his strength.

The moment the two of them touched, Liu Huaixin seemed to feel something strange, and a crispy and numb feeling flowed from the palm of his hand into his heart, making him forget the chaos in his mind just now. He just wanted to hold his hand now and not let go.

The child let go of his hand first and patted the dirt on his body: "By the way, are you here to invite me to Liufu as a guest?" It's just that it won't work today, I'll change my clothes another day, otherwise Aunt Liu will be worried when she sees it. ”

Liu Huaixin shook his head involuntarily: "It's okay, my mother won't care." He heard a voice in his heart saying, "Keep him." He spoke again: "My mother made lotus cakes and is waiting for us to go." ”

Hearing the "Lotus Cake", the child's eyes lit up, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Hmm...... Since you are so persistent in inviting me, I can't refuse, so I'll go with you. But I'm not for the lotus crisp! ”

The corners of Liu Huaixin's mouth couldn't help but rise, and he nodded. Immediately, the child took Liu Huaixin's hand again and pulled him towards Liufu. He wanted to make the street longer, preferably so that they could keep running.

It's a pity that Liufu arrived in the blink of an eye. The child pushed open the door and walked with him into the house, but the scene in front of him changed abruptly.
