Chapter 357 Sorry, Good Luck

"Master Xiao."

Chi Xiuchuan saw Xiao Xiao walking out from behind the drawn curtains, and couldn't help but step forward and shout.

Awakened by Chi Xiuchuan's cry, Wen Shaoyang's dazed eyes suddenly lit up and focused on the child behind Master Xiao.

The child obediently let Master Xiao lead him out.

The burning gaze made him raise his head in confusion, and he looked over according to his feeling, "Brother!"

A huge smile appeared on the child's face.

Xiao Xiao let go of the child's hand.

The child ran towards his brother happily.

"elder brother!"

……

"Xiaoyuan."

Wen Shaoyang was a little overwhelmed because the child was proactive and enthusiastic for the first time in a while.

Even though there was some confusion and disbelief in his eyes, his hands spontaneously caught the child who rushed over.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

The child grabbed his brother's clothes, and the sudden apology once again made Wen Shaoyang stunned.

Wen Shaoyang remained silent for a long time with a complicated expression, which made the child feel scared and helpless.

In fact, he didn't quite understand what he had done during this period of time. He just identified an imaginary friend, but it seemed to have brought a lot of trouble to his father, mother, and brother.

Now thinking of his father's furrowed brow, his mother's red eyes, and his brother's increasingly anxious face, the child knew that he seemed to have made them worry a lot.

He is sorry.

I don’t know what happened to my previous self, I was too stubborn and refused to give in or reflect.

He just kept blaming his closest family members.

Perhaps it is because she knows that she is loved by them that she is so unscrupulous.

Venting and even amplifying your negative emotions without any scruples.

Besides, he always thought that he was wronged before, and he was self-righteous and took it for granted that his family did not trust him.

There's even a bit of anger in it.

……

"elder brother?"

The child couldn't help but scream again, looking up at Wen Shaoyang pitifully.

"what."

Wen Shaoyang finally reacted. Seeing the increasingly uneasy look on the child's face, he reached out and touched the child's soft hair. "Xiaoyuan, you?"

For a moment, he seemed to have a lot of questions to ask, but thousands of words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter anything.

Wen Shaoyang pursed his lips, reached out and held the child's shoulders, pushed the child slightly away from his arms, squatted down, and looked straight into the child's dark eyes, "Xiaoyuan, why are you apologizing?"

The child felt a weight on his shoulder, and a burning temperature that almost gave him the illusion of being burned.

The child looked blankly at his brother's eyes which were so close to him. There seemed to be a heavy emotion churning in his eyes, and a ray of light was about to break through under the thick dark clouds.

"Xiaoyuan?"

Wen Shaoyang couldn't help but increase the strength of his hands.

The child frowned, but not because of the force on his shoulder, even though he did feel a slight pain.

"I… made my father, mother, and brother sad."

Even though the voice was soft, it was in an affirmative tone.

The child suddenly remembered the warmth of his mother's embrace, which was very warm. However, the temperature of the water drops falling on his neck, when he thought about it now, was so hot that it made his heart feel a dull pain.

He had never seen Mother Wen cry.

Mother Wen likes to laugh and has a very gentle temper. It seems that she never has anything on her mind.

However, he made Wen's mother cry.

The child bit his lips tightly, feeling both annoyed and helpless.

He didn't mean it. He didn't want Mother Wen to cry.

The child's hands were tangled together, the fingertips in the gloves turned white, and there was a suffocating feeling in his heart.

... "Xiaoyuan, we will only be sad if you are sad."

"Dad, Mom, and I don't blame you."

Wen Shaoyang let go of the child's shoulders and embraced the child's small hands with his broad and thick hands.

Gently, yet irresistibly, he separated the child's tightly entwined hands.

The child only felt the warmth of his brother's hand. Even through the gloves, this warmth went straight into his heart and suddenly calmed his anxious heart.

"elder brother."

The child cried out weakly, trembling slightly with a look of grievance and coquettishness, and his small hands curled up in his brother's hands, revealing a bit of attachment.

……

Xiao Xiao and Chi Xiuchuan stood aside and watched the heartwarming scene of the brothers getting along without going forward to disturb them.

Chi Xiuchuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Even though he believed in Master Xiao, he still couldn't help but turn his head to look at Master Xiao, "Master Xiao, is the problem solved?"

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"Master Xiao, thank you."

Even though it was an expected answer, it was only when he got the confirmation from Master Xiao that Chi Xiuchuan finally put his slightly worried mind to rest.

Xiao Xiao just curled the corners of his mouth.

It was just a coincidence this time.

This child is really suffering from hallucinations, but fortunately it is not serious.

Because he knew that monsters were real, he could pretend to be more realistic and gain the child's trust so easily.

After all, when ordinary people face children, no matter how much they tell themselves that little demons exist and are children's friends, their reason will remind them again and again that it is fake.

The little demon is a creature imagined by children.

Children are extremely sensitive and can notice any unnaturalness in adults' expressions.

Even though he didn't know why, he would subconsciously feel wary because of this unnatural feeling.

Xiao Xiao would not have any concerns in this regard at all.

His expression was natural, without a trace of force or stiffness.

The child therefore trusted him.

Therefore, when he denied the existence of the little demon, he was able to make the child finally believe his words.

……

Xiao Xiao knew that he was just lucky this time.

After all, this matter was just in the name of monsters, but it actually has nothing to do with monsters.

He is not a professional.

At that time, if the child showed any sign of something being wrong, he would immediately stop his amateur attempts.

Fortunately, his luck seemed to be good.

The child is also very lucky.

……

"Xiaoyuan."

Wen Shaoyang wanted to ask something, but hesitated.

It has been a long time since he has seen a younger brother who depends on him and acts like a spoiled child to him like this.

He was afraid that his question would disrupt the current peace and warmth.

"Ok?"

The child looked at his brother in confusion, not understanding why there was no further news.

Do you want to ask him something?

"nothing."

Wen Shaoyang shook his head in the end. It was good to have such a younger brother. As time passed, his younger brother would always understand his previous fantasies.

There was no need for him to push him now.

This is also the consensus between Wen's father, mother and him.
