Chapter 5090 Unexpected Rejection
Because knowing that Xiaoxi is fine is definitely the most important thing.

But this matter is also very important.

"Big brother."

One of Xu He's cheeks bulged slightly.

That's where Candy is.

"you……"

The child took a deep breath...
Take another deep breath.

Again……

Take a deep breath.

……

Xiao Xiao waited patiently for the child to speak.

No urging.

No impatience either.

……

"Big brother."

Xu He finally spoke again, "Can you..."

Xu He tightened his five fingers.

The touch of the candy wrapper in his palm startled him slightly.

Then he realized that this was the second candy that his older brother had given him.

The first candy was in his mouth.

……

Courage suddenly surged in Xu He's heart.

The words that were difficult to say a moment ago came out smoothly.

"Will you come with me to see my mother?"

……

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"why?"

……

The most difficult thing to say has already been said...

Xu He felt relieved when he saw his elder brother whose expression did not change at all.

There was an unconscious hint of grievance in his eyes and brows.

"Mom doesn't believe in Xiaoxi's existence."

"She thought I was lying."

"But Xiaoxi really exists."

"The day Xiaoxi met the bad uncle, Mom was there too..."

"How come mom didn't see Xiaoxi?"

The child looked confused and puzzled.

"Mom even said I was hallucinating..."

"I do not have."

Xu He felt more and more aggrieved.

……

"Big brother."

Xu He's eyes were full of bright light, "Come with me to see mom."

"You tell Mom."

"You also saw Xiaoxi."

"Xiaoxi is not my illusion."

"Xiaoxi is real."

Xu He became more and more excited as he spoke.

He couldn't help but squeeze his hands tightly.

Thinking of my mother's reaction after hearing what my elder brother said...

He couldn't wait any longer.

"Big brother!"

The child's upturned face was radiant with light.

Eyebrows crooked.

He can finally prove to his mother that he is right!
……

This was the best expression Xiao Xiao had ever seen on Xu He.

An expression full of anticipation, brightness, excitement... and joy.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

……

The smile on the child's face grew wider.

……

"Feel sorry."

Xiao Xiao shook his head.

……

After a few seconds, the smile on Xu He's face slowly became stiff and faded away...

what……

He thought he heard wrongly.

I also read it wrong.

Big brother didn't say sorry...

Nor did he shake his head.

how could be?

Xu He never expected...

Obviously...

The older brother had always been very friendly to him.

Talk to him patiently.

Give him some candy.

comfort him.

Affirm him.

It gave him the courage to tell his elder brother what he wanted to ask for his help.

He likes his older brother very much.

really like……

Especially since they were the only two people who had seen-
At least among the people he knew.

Only he and his older brother had seen Xiaoxi.

This special connection also makes him feel differently about his older brother.

……

Xu He has never been a confident person in interpersonal communication.

He is very timid.

Very clumsy.

Very passive.

Because he is a child who is not loved by his mother.

A child that even his mother doesn't like...

How could he think that others would like him more?
He always consciously makes himself not to be chosen or rejected.

This way you won’t be sad.

You can also deceive yourself.

……

Just now...it was really the big brother's behavior that always made the child feel at ease.

It was the first time he made a request to a stranger.

He thought his elder brother would definitely agree to his request...

Now thinking about it, why is he so confident?
but……

Xu He's lips trembled.

The older brother's behavior misled him.

Let him really think...

His request will be granted by his elder brother.

……

Xu He lowered his eyes in embarrassment.

The head lowered lower and lower.

Even though his heart was full of doubts and confusion, Xu He did not have the courage to ask.

……

"Xu He."

Xiao Xiao looked at the top of the child's head.

The child's hair is visibly soft and thick.

It makes people feel itchy.

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Aren't you going to ask me why?"

……

Xu He was stunned.

Why……

Yes.

why?

Xu He slowly raised his eyes.

Big brother……

Obviously he is a very good person.

Why reject him?

....
It's not a very troublesome thing.

Just tell mom...
The older brother also saw Xiaoxi.

that's it.

Can't it?
Is there any problem that he hasn't thought of?
.....
"……Why?"

The older brother took the initiative to speak. After hesitating for a while, Xu He finally asked what the older brother said.

He was really confused.

Why did the elder brother reject him...

Until the elder brother spoke, he really thought that this matter was a done deal...

He had the inexplicable confidence that his older brother would definitely agree to his request...

Xu He's face turned hot.

That's because of my own self-love...

Why did he think that his elder brother would definitely agree to him...

……

"Xu He."

Xiao Xiao's voice was calm.

"It's not that I don't want to meet your mother."

……

Then why-!?
Xu He looked up suddenly.

……

"Because it's no use for me to go."

Xiao Xiao smiled at the child.

……

Is it useless if the elder brother goes?
What do you mean?
Xu He didn't understand.

He couldn't help but wave his hands, "Mom said, as long as I find someone else who saw Xiaoxi, bring her to her, and tell her..."

"except me……"

"Someone else saw Xiaoxi."

"That way she'll believe me."

"That's what Mom said."

……

"I forgot to tell you one thing last time."

Compared to the child's excitement, Xiao Xiao seemed very calm.

……

what's up?

Xu He clenched his fingers tightly.

It has something to do with the fact that his older brother is rejecting him now...right?
……

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Last time I told you..."

"To avoid trouble, you'd better not tell others that you are not afraid of fire..."

....
Xu He looked at his older brother.

Ok.

Yes.

His older brother told him so.

And he did as his elder brother said.

.....
Thinking of this, Xu He felt aggrieved again.

He did whatever his older brother told him to do.

Why……

But the elder brother did not agree to his request.

……

"I'll add one more thing this time."

Xiao Xiao looked at the child.

……

Xu He's expression couldn't help but become serious.

……

"Do not tell anyone……"

"Xiaoxi's existence."

……

This time Xu He was really stunned.

What……

Don't tell others about Xiaoxi's existence...

"……Why?"

Xu He's voice was very soft.

Like talking to himself.

It seems like asking.

……

“Because they can’t really see.”

Xiao Xiao's words seemed to come out casually.

But it was like a bomb exploding in Xu He's brain.

Xu He shook his head.
