He raised his head and glanced at his mother, but there was a hint of reliance and trust in his mother's eyes.

It was as if he was already an adult, and his mother was pleading him with the way she talked to adults.

Su Mu was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

Su Mu's mother breathed a long sigh of relief, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and her tone was full of relief: "Since you have a sister, it seems that you have grown up a lot all of a sudden." ”

Su Mu gave her a blank look, turned around and went upstairs without looking back.

While taking a bath, Su Mu had been thinking about how to speak, but he didn't come up with any good words after thinking about it for a long time.

Knowing that his mother was starting to knock on the door outside the bathroom to urge him, he slowly put on his pajamas and came out.

"Go, it's up to you." Su Mu's mother stood outside the bathroom and made a cheering gesture towards Su Mu.

"......" Su Mu only felt a little speechless.

When he returned to his room, the ceiling light had been turned off, leaving only a lamp on the bedside table emitting a soft light orange glow.

Su Mu lifted his quilt and climbed onto the bed, glanced at Su Xiaoli who was lying next to him obediently, and smiled at her with the corners of his mouth reluctantly.

Su Xiaoli looked at him with a wink and did not speak.

"That ......" Su Mu cleared his throat and said to Su Xiaoli: "Are you going to turn off the lights and go to sleep?" ”

"Okay." Su Xiaoli nodded, hugged the doll in his hand, and responded in a crisp voice.

Su Mu looked at her, hesitated, and reached out to turn off the lamp on the bedside table.

The room was plunged into darkness.

Su Mu lay on the pillow, pulled the quilt, listened to Su Xiaoli's even breathing in his ears, and finally couldn't help but shout: "Xiaoli." ”

"Huh?" Su Xiaoli was in the darkness, raised his head and looked at his brother.

Su Mu turned around, lay on his side on the bed, faced Su Xiaoli, looked at Su Xiaoli's eyes through the faint moonlight outside the window, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you want to go to kindergarten?" ”

"......" Su Xiaoli looked at his brother and didn't speak.

"Xiaoli." Su Mu stretched out his arm, put his arms around her neck, and said softly in his voice: "No matter what happens, whether someone is bullying you or not, my brother will protect you, you know?" ”

“……”

"It's not just my brother, it's my mother." Su Mu took Su Xiaoli into his arms, and gently patted her hairy head with his other hand and said, "We will all protect you, you are not alone, so, don't be afraid, my brother will always be on your side." ”

"Brother......" Su Xiaoli was held in Su Mu's arms, his fair little face was attached to his soft pajamas, listening to his words, I don't know why his nose was sore.

So, tell my brother, why don't you want to go to kindergarten? Is it a teacher or a classmate, is it bad for you? Su Mu hugged her and asked very patiently.

"Neither." Su Xiaoli shook his head, hugged him with his backhand, bit his lip hard with his white teeth and said, "I...... I...... I don't dare to say ......"

"Why don't you dare to say it?" Su Mu hugged her tightly and said seriously, "Don't be afraid, my brother will protect you." ”
