Chapter 3489 The Lost Boy
The boy felt comforted.
Sweet candy...
It's really easy to make people unable to help smiling.
……
The boy's expression relaxed.
I've cried anyway.
It's almost embarrassing enough.
It was no use trying to save the situation.
The only thing to be thankful for is...
Only the eldest brother saw this embarrassing scene.
……
He suddenly likes rainy days.
The gloomy sky and the pedestrians hiding under umbrellas and walking in a hurry... all made him feel at ease.
No one would notice him.
He could cry with his head down without worrying about being seen.
.....
of course.
He had no intention of crying.
Just now, he was almost breaking down and crying completely out of control...
he does not like.
He doesn't like crying.
Apart from making himself look like a clown and highlighting his own uselessness and embarrassment, he doesn't know what other meaning could be more pleasing to others?
……
The young man took a deep breath.
He reached out his hand again and wiped his face roughly.
Trying to destroy all evidence of his crying.
……
He looked at his older brother.
"Big brother."
The boy pursed his lips hard.
"……sorry."
……
"Why apologize?"
Xiao Xiao looked at the boy.
The complexion is bland.
……
"..."
The boy was somewhat stumped by the question.
Why apologize?
because….
He was crying for no apparent reason.
He was depressed.
Could it be that I met a kind older brother?
As a result, I was either making a fool of myself in front of my older brother or on the way to making a fool of myself.
Big brother….
Do you dislike him in your heart?
……
"Did something happen?"
Xiao Xiao didn't dwell on the previous question.
He asked instead.
……
what?
The boy looked up at his older brother blankly.
……
"Don't say anything that's inconvenient to say."
Xiao Xiao slightly curved his eyebrows.
He didn't mean to know anything.
It's just that the boy cried in front of him.
He felt that he had to ask a question.
Maybe……
He can help the boy with some of the problems he encounters.
of course.
More likely...he couldn't do anything but listen.
……
The boy's lips trembled slightly.
There were two little people arguing fiercely in his mind.
His head began to ache slightly.
he does not know……
He is not used to talking...
But I am somewhat unwilling...
……
"where are you going?"
Xiao Xiao curled his lips at the boy.
Changing the subject again.
"I'll take you there."
Although the rain was not as heavy as at the beginning, it was not a drizzle that could be completely ignored.
There was no urgency for him.
Just be a good person to the end.
Send the boy to where he wants to go.
……
The boy didn't react.
He was still struggling with the previous question.
The older brother raised a new question.
Where is he going...
There was a hint of confusion in the boy's eyes.
Where is he going...
he does not know.
……
Xiao Xiao sighed slightly in his heart.
It seems that he met a lost teenager.
Well.
He didn’t mean that the teenager was lost.
……
The smile on Xiao Xiao's face became a little gentler.
"If you don't know where to go for a while..."
“There’s a library up ahead.”
"Want to stay there for a while?"
"You can hide from the rain at the same time."
……
library?
Before the boy could sort out his thoughts, he nodded.
He heard himself say...
"it is good."
……
"Let's go then."
Xiao Xiao walked from the opposite side of the boy to his side.
He tilted his head and looked at the boy.
……
The boy was stunned for a few seconds before he suddenly realized and took a step forward.
The boy's face began to heat up again.
How could he be so clumsy and slow?
The boy was very depressed. …
Xiao Xiao put away his umbrella.
"go in."
He smiled at the boy.
……
The boy walked into the library with some hesitation.
He has not been here.
The unfamiliar environment made him subconsciously feel a little nervous.
……
He stopped.
Waiting for the big brother who had put away the umbrella to come over.
……
Xiao Xiao took the boy to the rest area in the library.
He ordered two hot drinks.
……
"Do you like cocoa?"
Xiao Xiao placed one of the cups of hot cocoa in front of the boy.
Then he sat down opposite the boy.
……
This is a corner seat by the window.
The view is good.
Their table was the only one occupied nearby.
The rest area in the library was originally deserted.
After all, people come to the library to read books.
If you come to the rest area...
Might as well just go to a coffee shop from the beginning.
There's more atmosphere there.
……
"like."
The boy took up the cup that his older brother placed in front of him with both hands.
A warmth spread from the palm of his hand upwards.
He leaned slightly closer to the cup.
Suddenly, a rich cocoa aroma hit me in the face.
He turned his face to the side deliberately.
But soon, he straightened his face.
It smells good.
Originally, he didn't care about this cup of hot drink.
but now……
He enjoyed the hot drink very much.
tastes good.
.....
"nice! You love it."
Xiao Xiao also picked up the cocoa and took a sip.
"Let's take a rest here for a while."
The boy didn't know how long he had been walking in the rain before he was seen by him.
My hair, shoulders and back were all wet from the rain.
……
"Uh-huh."
The boy sipped his hot cocoa.
He frowned slightly.
He felt the raindrops sliding down his head onto his neck.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch the back of his neck.
……
“Why don’t you walk in the rain with an umbrella?”
Xiao Xiao asked after the young man picked up the cup with both hands again.
……
"No, no umbrella."
The boy answered stumblingly.
There was a hint of nervousness in his slightly tense expression.
……
"Why don't you find a place nearby to hide from the rain?"
The first question is just to start a conversation.
After all, it was an obvious fact that the boy did not have an umbrella.
……
The young man opened his mouth.
No sound was uttered.
He pursed his lips tightly.
The last trace of blood faded from the lips.
……
"Is it intentional?"
Xiao Xiao came to this conclusion without any surprise.
"Like rain?"
"Or is there another reason?"
……
The boy lowered his eyes.
I felt a little annoyed.
He wanted to say that he liked rain.
But no sound came out.
He reached out and touched his neck.
Of course there are other reasons.
And this reason...
……
"Don't you want to answer? Or don't you know how to answer..."
Xiao Xiao asked bluntly.
……
The boy felt helpless.
what?
……
"Okay."
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up slightly.
"I told you that if you don't want to say it or don't know how to say it, you don't have to say it."
"You are not obliged to answer my questions."
……
The boy stared at his older brother blankly.
Prefer not to say……
No.
He didn't know how to say...
I don't know if others are interested in listening to his boring stories...
He didn't want to see other people's sympathetic eyes.
He doesn't like to be sympathized with.
not at all.
Even though his situation was indeed not very good.
