In the early morning, when the dew was still in the leaf sheaths and the earth was still damp, a few birds jumped among the trees, chirping crisply as the leaves swayed.

In the depths of the Wu family's courtyard, in a boudoir, a girl's appearance was sitting in front of the window.

Wu Xi's eyes looked at the sky that had not yet unfolded, and the clouds covered the morning sun on the horizon. Just like her heart, there is a haze covering her.

"Brother Wu Lai has been out on a mission for four hundred and thirty-one days, why hasn't he come back yet?" Wu Xi whispered.

With a dull face, Wu Xi lay in front of the window every day, waiting for Wu Lai to return.

"Brother Wu Lai, do you like me?" Wu Xi whispered in frustration.

A white dress dances lightly, a sword breaks through the air, and the swordsmanship of one hand and left hand is at its peak. In Wu Xi's eyes, Wu Lai is the best person in the world. And I am just a waste body, and I am inherently unable to practice.

Wu Xi recalled the time with Wu Lai, that figure like a big brother, so warm. Every time she stays with Wu Lai, she is so happy, so happy. I don't want to think of Wu Lai as a big brother.

Although she is the eldest lady of the Wu family, she can't let go of her body after all. Among several younger brothers and sisters. After all, you can't get a place. Before he was eight years old, he had been spent in the ridicule of his younger brother and sister, and although the housekeepers and maids in the family didn't say anything, they all seemed to have a feeling of hating themselves.

Before the age of eight, the only people I played with were the birds in the trees and the carp in the pond. Loneliness made me not like to talk, and the ridicule of my brother and sister was so harsh in my own weak heart at that time. Once upon a time, I also thought about death.

Time passed quickly, and when he was eight years old, he met a big boy. Obviously, I accidentally bumped into him, but he apologized to me in a panic, am I terrible?

Cuckoo...

At this moment, several hungry cries came from the boy's belly.

"Is he hungry?" Wu Xi was puzzled.

Then, Wu Xi hurriedly ran to the kitchen and took a few steamed buns. As for the hated and scared expressions of those family members, she directly ignored them.

"He's so ugly!" Wu Xi frowned.

"But there didn't seem to be a look of dislike in his eyes. Wu Xi Dao.

Time passed quickly, and the big boy appeared in his eyes again when he was about to be forgotten. Wu Xi happened to pass by the cafeteria, and when he looked over, he didn't see the big boy!

"He should have eaten well, right?" Wu Xi whispered.

Then, Wu Xi slowly walked to the edge of the pond. When he casually glanced at the laundry room, he saw that the big boy was in the laundry room. He was alone, and beside him, there was a lot of dirty laundry.

"Does he want to wash so many clothes by himself?" Wu Xi wondered.

"However, according to the rules of the Wu family, the time for the family to finish lunch for an hour is the rest time!"

Wu Xi was like this, watching Wu Lai wash all his clothes.

"Where is he going?" Wu Xi wondered.

I saw that after Wu Lai finished washing his clothes, he strode out. Wu Xi followed Wu Lai's figure all the time and ran to the cafeteria.

"He hasn't eaten yet?" Wu Xi said in surprise.

After a while, Wu Xi saw Wu Lai walking out of the cafeteria dejectedly. The thin and lonely figure made Wu Xi almost cry.

At this time, Wu Xi remembered the scene when she first met Wu Lai... It's just a few steamed buns, but he eats them very deliciously. Is it because he hasn't eaten?

"Wu Lai, how did you kid wash your clothes, and you washed them so slowly?"

At this time, a piercing voice fell into Wu Xi's ears. That person, she knows, is Hua An, the head of the family.

"There are so many clothes, and I'm the only one who washes them, so..."

The somewhat panicked and helpless tone made Wu Xi feel pitiful.

"Wash slowly, wash slowly, and make excuses. Quick, go and fill the water tank in the kitchen. Huaan ordered.

"But I haven't eaten yet. Wu Lai replied weakly.

"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat. It's about to be cooked, and if you don't fill the tank with water before cooking, you won't have to eat dinner. Hua An said viciously.

"Me!"

Wu Lai opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute something, but then closed his mouth again. Because Wu Lai deeply understands that it is useless to refute anything.

Thinking about it, Wu Lai slowly walked into the kitchen and picked up the heavy bucket.

The sink is a kilometer away from the kitchen, and the thin body, and the lack of food, just walking back and forth with the bucket, is already out of breath. However, in Wu Xi's eyes, Wu Lai's figure is so strong, and there is no flinch or cowardice in those eyes.

Wu Xi was like this, quietly watching Wu Lai in the dark. The thin body ran back and forth with a bucket of water. The water wet his clothes, but in those eyes, Wu Xi still couldn't see any flinching.

If it was a change of self, I'm afraid I would have given up a long time ago.

In this way, Wu Lai's figure fell into Wu Xi's eyes. And Wu Xi, in her lonely life, there is one more thing. is in the dark every day, quietly watching Wu Lai.

One year, two years, five years... Wu Xi was in the dark, looking at Wu Lai silently. She didn't know what was going on with her, she just knew that she would be happy when she looked at him like this.

"He still thinks that Hua'an is good to him because Hua'an is kind?"

"Such a blatant peek at being cultivated, did he think that no one would have found out? If I hadn't told them to leave him alone, he would have been punished by family rules a long time ago. ”

“...”

"Ahh Wu Xi was surprised.

"Not long after, I suddenly heard that my father was going to send Wu Lai to protect me. After that, will I be able to stay with him every day?"

"What should I do, what should I do, why is my heart beating so fast?" Wu Xi said at a loss.

“...”

"Hello, my name is Wu Xi!"

"Ahh Wu Lai replied in a panic.

didn't even dare to look at Wu Xi's body.

"He's still a little afraid of me!" Wu Xi whispered in frustration.

But then, Wu Xi laughed. Because in the future, Wu Lai can be by his side every day.

"Yo, isn't this my waste sister?I can't cultivate, so I just found a little white face?" A mocking word fell into Wu Xi's ears.

Wu Xi turned around, it was one of her younger brothers, Wu Hao.

Although Wu Hao is his younger brother, he was not born to the same mother.

"Humph!"

As soon as Wu Hao's words fell, before Wu Xi could speak, Wu Lai on the side made an instant move.

Brush!

The speed was extremely fast, Wu Lai came to Wu Hao's side in the blink of an eye, grabbed it with his big hand, and pinched Wu Hao's neck. snapped two slaps and slapped Wu Hao in the face.

At this time, it was not only Wu Hao who was stunned. Even Wu Xi was stunned. Because...
