She folded her hands on her knees, huddled in a small ball, curled up in tiny ones on the bench, her head resting on her elbows, her shadow stretched long by the dim streetlights.

It looks so lonely, so weak.

"Xiao'e ......"

Lu Yongchang called her softly, and even his steps towards her were so light.

"Why are you here? Everybody's looking for you. ”

Huang Xiao'e raised her head and looked at him in a trance.

Her eyes were red, probably because it was cold, and her face was a little pale.

"Brother Yongchang, why are you here?" She asked.

"I heard Jiang Xin say that you suddenly ran away in the middle of the blind date, so I came to look for you."

When Huang Xiao'e heard his words, her eyes moved, she opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but she lowered her head and said, "Brother Yongchang, I'm sorry."

I know that you are good to me, and I know that what you have arranged for me is the best, and I want to accept everything you have arranged for me, but I really can't help it today. ”

"It's fine." Lu Yongchang sat beside her.

"You don't like Jiang Xin? If you don't like it, you don't like it, take your time in the future, and you will always meet someone you like. ”

"Brother Yongchang ......"

As soon as Lu Yongchang's words fell, the next second, he was caught off guard and hugged by Huang Xiao'e.

She cried and called him: "Brother Yongchang, can you not want me?" I only have you and grandma, but grandma's health is getting worse day by day, and I'm scared......

I'm afraid I'm the only one left in the world......

I beg you, don't leave me behind, okay? ”

The little girl hugged him and trembled, and tears fell on his neck one by one.

There is no man who is not soft-hearted.

When my heart softened, I forgot to push her away.

He patted him on the back and comforted him gently: "I won't leave you, never, I'm your brother, even if you get married and have children in the future, I will be good to you, and I will always be good to you." ”

"You're a liar!"

Huang Xiao'e debunked him in one bite.

"You've been hiding from me for months, and you said you wouldn't leave me, so what is this time?"

"I'm ......"

"You know that I like you, if I get married, and you get married, and we meet again, your wife, my husband, will they agree?

You just want to arrange everything for me, you want to watch me get married, have a family of my own, and then quit my life completely, right? ”

She is small, but not stupid.

Lu Yongchang was speechless.

"But Brother Yongchang, I don't want to get married, I don't want to have a family with others, in this world, except for my brother and grandma, only you are the best for me.

Now that my brother is gone, I just want to be together forever with me, you, and grandma. ”

Huang Xiao'e's world has always been very small, before Lu Yongchang came, she only had the dilapidated house in her hometown and her grandmother.

She took the house as the radius and drew the ground as a circle, guarding her grandmother to live together.

Her small world has created a small heart, and she can only fit the top important people, and the others can't break in.

Lu Yongchang knew that she was insecure.

Someone who has lost too much just wants to hold on to what she has, because she is afraid of disappointment, she doesn't dare to have too much, and she doesn't need to have too much.

As long as she holds on to everything she has now, as long as she cares about her, she is the happiest person in the world.

She tried to accept new people and try to contact Jiang Xin, but when she thought that Lu Yongchang was moving away from her, she ran away uncontrollably.

Lu Yongchang leaned on the bench, a little helpless.

For a long time, I heard him sigh.

"You're just dependent on me now." He said.

"Because I'm good to you, I've done a lot for you, so you're grateful to me, but you're still young, you can't tell the difference between gratitude and liking, and you're with me on the spur of the moment, and you'll regret it."

"I don't regret it." She replied in the affirmative.

"Even your roommates in the dormitory think that I'm a cripple and don't deserve you.

Now, it's just your roommates, if they really get together in the future, it's decades, long decades, you have to bear such stares, can you stand it?

Later, when you go to work, you see a young man, tall, handsome and sound, and it will be too late for you to be tempted by that time.

You look at your colleagues, friends, classmates, they are looking for people who are younger than me, more capable than me, healthier than me.

They entered the marriage hand in hand, a match made in heaven.

Look at me again, a lame old man, you think, maybe they are not as good as you, not as beautiful as you, not as educated as you.

Won't you be unbalanced by that time? ”

"No, no, I'll never ...... in my heart"

Huang Xiao'e raised her head from her arms, her eyes were wet from crying just now, and her red eyes looked at him like this, extremely serious.

Lu Yongchang pulled his lips and smiled.

He couldn't help but rub her head.

"Silly girl, how old are you? Dare to say forever? ”

"Really, Brother Yongchang, I'm serious, I'm not afraid of others laughing at me, what I'm most afraid of is that you don't want me."

Lu Yongchang leaned back in his chair and couldn't help laughing.

Yes......

He really couldn't do anything about her.

"Let's try it, then." He said.

"Really?" Those red eyes lit up instantly.

"But just try, we're not in a hurry to confirm a relationship, we're not in a hurry to get married, I'm not in a hurry to introduce you to someone, let's try to eat together, watch a movie, go on a date.

When you figure it out and regret it, we'll end it. ”

"Okay." Huang Xiao'e grinned.

"However, I will let you know that when I say forever, I mean forever."

Then, Lu Yongchang kept his promise and did not introduce Huang Xiao'e to the other party, as long as he was free, he would go to the school to pick her up.

took her to dinner and took her to the playground, but he was always affectionate and polite, and he didn't even hold her hand.

However, Huang Xiao'e seems to be very satisfied with this kind of life, and last winter, she even knitted a scarf for him.

Well......

It's just a little ugly.

"Oh......"

When the Lu family heard him say this, they let out another sigh of sudden realization.

"I said, third brother, why did you keep wearing such an ugly scarf last year, it turned out to be knitted by the object." Lu Yongsheng said.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not a target yet." Lu Yongchang glared at him.

"So ......," he looked at the whole family again, "this is the case, and the reason why I don't tell the people in the family is because it hasn't been decided yet."

Who knows, was seen by her. ”

Lu Yongchang said, and glanced at An An again pretending to be disgusted.
