"Squeak."

The bright red lacquered imitation wooden door was gently pushed open, and a man in a black suit poked his head in. After seeing the old man lying on the office chair inside with his eyes closed, he leaned over slightly and took a cautious step in.

The old man on the chair with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes in the next second, what a pair of moving eyes!! It's just that at the moment it's slightly red.

When the man in the suit saw the old man wake up, his hands holding the folder couldn't help but clench tighter, and cold sweat even began to break out in his palms, and his upper body was lowered even lower, and he didn't dare to look up at the old man at all

The old man was not very old, and he had no white hair on his head, and he looked as if he was only forty or fifty years old. The handsome appearance makes it possible to imagine how many girls he could capture the hearts of many girls when he was young, and the powerful aura that exudes from his body makes people dare not approach easily.

However, at this moment, he was lying on the chair, and he seemed to be very tired.

When he saw the man in the suit walk in, a kind of hope instantly appeared in the old man's eyes. It's just that when I saw the man's deeply bowed head and slightly trembling body in the next second, his eyes became dim again.

"Sir...... Also, there is still no news. ”

The man in the suit clenched the folder in his hand and said to the old man with a slightly trembling voice. I am afraid that any word or action I make will threaten my life.

And when he had said that, he heard it.

The old man sighed softly.

There is no imaginary reprimand, no nerve-wracking lessons.

just closed his eyes again, lay down slowly with his head tilted, and waved his hand weakly at the man:

"Go down and keep looking."

When he saw the old man's words and deeds, the man in the black suit was still a little surprised, but for the sake of his own life, he bowed deeply to the old man, hooked his body and hurriedly retreated outside the door.

With the sound of the door closing again,

The huge study fell silent again.

The faint light hit the tired face of the old man, it was so quiet and peaceful,

Also, loneliness.

Suddenly, a crystal white light swept across the old man's cheek, and it was a teardrop from the corner of his closed eye!

He has lost his dearest daughter and son-in-law

Now, is God going to take away the most precious granddaughter in his heart from him?!

Another tear passed silently

He regretted it.

Two years later –

Ruoli is five years old.

Xiaoxing is six years old.

"If you leave, look at it! This is the birthday noodle that my mother and I made for you just now, please try it! ”

Lu Xiaoxing walked in front of Qianruoli with a big bowl of noodles with a smile, carefully placed it on the table, and said to Ruoli with joy in his eyes

Qian Ruoli also showed her white teeth, looked at Lu Xiaoxing with a smile and nodded: "Hmm." ”

But when she just picked up the spoon and was about to start, Aunt Shao, who came to the side, immediately shouted, "Wait a minute, wait a minute!" ”

"What's wrong, Mother Shao?!" Hearing this, Qian Ruoli stopped the movements in his hand, raised his head and looked at Aunt Shao suspiciously

I saw Aunt Shao smile, took out the spoon from her small hand, put it to the side of the bowl, and then looked at the two of them and said, "Are you missing any steps?!" ”

"Huh? Missing steps?! Xiaoxing and Ruoli looked at each other, but they were still puzzled

"Little fool! How can you celebrate your birthday without singing a birthday song and making a wish?! Aunt Shao gently patted the heads of the two of them and said with a light smile

"That's right! How could I forget to sing a birthday song and make a wish for Ruoli?! Lu Xiaoxing also patted his forehead, and said with some self-reproach, "Mom, let's sing a birthday song for Ruoli's sister together!" ”

"Yes, of course!" Aunt Shao readily agreed, and then sat side by side with Xiaoxing opposite Ruoli, clapping her hands while singing happily:

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Ruoli......"

And Ruoli also clapped his hands together with them, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

"Haha! Great! Happy birthday to Ruoli sister!! Xiaoxing clapped his hands happily and shouted

"Thank you." Ruoli smiled shyly.

"By the way, you have to make a wish before eating your birthday!! If you leave your sister, close your eyes and make a wish!! ”

"Hmm." Ruoli nodded, stood on the table with his hands crossed, closed his eyes, felt the hot gaze of Xiaoxing and Aunt Shao opposite, and suddenly thought of a lot in his mind......

Two years have passed, and she has lived here unknowingly for two years. In the past two years, a lot has changed for her.

For such a long time, Xiaoxing would take the trouble to teach herself to speak Mandarin every day, tell her stories, and sometimes teach her to draw and sing

And because she learned to speak Mandarin because Xiaoxing has removed the language barrier, she and Xiaoxing have become more intimate

With Xiaoxing's introduction, she knows that the place where she lives now is an orphanage called Lanxing, which specializes in taking in children who have no relatives to take care of, and she herself belongs to the category of those who have no parents.

She never asked where her parents were, because she could know from Shao's mother's behavior that her parents had gone to another world.

But she didn't feel much sadness, because she also got the love given to her by Xiaoxing and Shao's mother here, and she was very satisfied.

Ruoli knows that Xiaoxing has a mother, and her mother is the female director of this orphanage-Shao Xinhua

Even if she has relatives, Xiaoxing never shows the difference between herself and the other children in the orphanage, she plays happily with them, helps take care of the children younger than herself, and never mentions in front of them that Shao's mother is her biological mother, which makes the other children have no sense of distance from her.

It's just that, because of Ruoli's arrival, everything seems to have changed.

When Ruoli appeared in front of the other children for the first time, everyone's eyes were full of disgust and hostility. At first, Ruoli simply thought that maybe it was because she couldn't speak and didn't have a common language with them, so everyone rejected her so much. However, it was only later that she learned that this was not the case, and even though she tried to learn to speak Mandarin, everyone's attitude towards her remained the same.

And all this is because of his icy eyes!!

Because of it, everyone treats themselves as outliers; Because of it, all people are reluctant to come near themselves; Because of it, everyone is reluctant to be friends with her. Except for Xiaoxing, who has always been by her side.

When she knew all this, she was really sad. A sense of helplessness hits her heart, even though Xiaoxing has been comforting herself that everything will be fine, but she never thinks so, she seems to only have Xiaoxing as a friend.

Xiaoxing, who has always had a good relationship with other children, is also called a different kind of friend by others because of his close relationship with himself, and he is also treated coldly by everyone.

But Xiaoxing never said these grievances to himself, just bear it silently with a smile alone, and Ruo Xing, who was standing behind him, also hurt.

She believes that all this is because of herself, and if she didn't have it, Xiaoxing would not be coldly looked down upon by others.

Every time she was bullied by other children, Xiaoxing was the first to stand in front of her, straightened up and faced the boy who was half a head taller than her, even if she was afraid in her heart, she didn't show it, she just thought that she must protect herself!!

In the past two years, Xiaoxing has never complained to Shao's mother, so the other children have become more reckless, but even so, Ruoli has never felt afraid

Because, there will always be a little star in front of her

Because, Xiaoxing will always bring her warmth

Because, whenever her night comes, there will always be a small star to light up ahead......
