Chapter 908 Hope and Resentment
She was a girl not much older than him.

She begged, screamed, and even cried and was about to kneel down, but the other party refused to give up and insisted on sending her to the police station.

He didn't know what would happen next.

I just saw the expressions of sympathy or relief on the faces of the onlookers.

And heard-
“Who knows if it’s fake?”

"You don't learn well at such a young age."

"I wonder how her parents taught her?"

"It's just a child. Since the things are not lost, just say a few words. Isn't this a bit too much?"

"It's just to teach them a profound lesson, otherwise they might do it again in the future."

"Maybe he is a habitual offender."

That time, he deeply realized how much people hate stealing.

If he hadn't really had nowhere to go, if he hadn't been obsessed by the sight of the corner of the banknote, he thought, he would probably never have the courage to steal in the street.

So, when his hand was grabbed, at that moment, he felt his heart stopped beating.

He began to struggle frantically.

He wants to escape!
But the strength of the person in front of him was beyond his expectations.

You know your own situation.

Although he is thin and not very tall, he is very strong.

Despite his great struggle, the other party did not move at all, and even had the time to discipline him not to swear.

Even his subsequent sneak attack was dodged by the opponent.

His escape naturally failed in front of this man.

Maybe it's just because of ease -
However, for him, the other party's consistent calm attitude, and the patience and good temper shown in the face of his irritability and non-cooperation, gave him a false impression.

Some courage inexplicably arose in his heart.

The courage to ask for help.

Things are bad at home.

The accident of his mother, his only relative and the one he depended on for everything, left him, a child, helpless.

He doesn't know what to do?
The more anxious you are, the more helpless you will be.

He knew what he needed to do?
But what can he do?

He's like a little beast trapped in a box.

Even though I've been bruised and bloodied, I still can't find a way out with light.

Maybe he was desperate and tried anything.

Maybe it's because I've been bearing it alone for too long.

The other party just asked a question, but he couldn't control himself and told everything impatiently.

He expressed his fear and helplessness.

He is calling for help.

He wanted someone to help him.

At least, he wanted someone to tell him what he should do?
How can he resolve this desperate situation?
How can he save his mother?

After saying everything, the boy seemed to have lost all his courage and lowered his head.

"please."

The vague sound stopped abruptly.

The thin shoulders drooped as if unable to bear the burden.

I don't know when my back became somewhat hunched.

The cowering posture made the boy look even more decadent and helpless.

Like a plant that is about to wither.

"you-"

The boy's heartbeat paused at the other person's words.

He held his breath and listened to what the man said next.

"What is your name?"

"You can tell me now, right?"

The man's unexpected question stunned the boy for a moment, and then he felt a spasm-like pain in his heart.

Because I was too nervous before.

Now that I relax a little, a slight pain spreads.

However, a faint light gradually appeared in the boy's eyes.

Faintly visible.

The boy's dull eyes were filled with an emotion called hope.

"Han Rui."

"My name is Han Rui."

"Han Rui, I'll take you home."

Seeing the boy's expression suddenly dim, Xiao Xiao reached out and gently patted the boy's head, "Tell me the details on the way."

"If you don't go back, your mother will be worried." The boy suddenly looked up, his face full of complex emotions of disbelief and surprise.

"you-"

"My name is Xiao Xiao."

"Is your home far from here?"

"No, not far."

“It’s in the neighborhood in front.”

The boy replied stumbling a little.

"Well, let's go then."

Xiao Xiao took the first step.

After taking a step, he turned back and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

"Oh, um."

The young man hurriedly caught up with a dazed look on his face.

As we walked into the community, the hustle and bustle of the street suddenly faded away.

The lush greenery creates a pleasant tranquility.

"Han Rui, where are your other relatives?"

Xiao Xiao finally spoke again, which made the boy, who had been worried and glanced at him from time to time, feel relieved.

But when he realized the other party's question, the boy's face suddenly turned ugly.

"I have no other relatives."

"I only have my mother."

The boy's answer was not too surprising to Xiao Xiao.

From what the boy said before, it can be seen that he only cares about his mother.

Either the relationship between father and son is bad, or the boy only has his mother by his side.

"What about your mother's relatives?"

"Now your mother is sick, have you told them?"

"Mom, I'm the only one!"

Xiao Xiao was startled by the hint of resentment in the boy's eyes.

He bent his finger and tapped the boy's forehead with a little too much force.

The sudden attack stunned the boy.

The young man covered his forehead and stared at Xiao Xiao with confusion and dissatisfaction.

The resentment from before was no longer in his eyes.

Instead, it was a bit of childish anger and grievance.

Xiao Xiao smiled and apologized insincerely, "I'm sorry, I couldn't control my strength for a moment."

The boy glared at Xiao Xiao again.

This bastard obviously did it on purpose!
Hiss, he rubbed his forehead, it hurts!
But this pain also dispelled the negative emotions that had arisen in his heart before, and pulled him out of his heart full of resentment.

He was silent for a while, then slowly opened his mouth.

Since he decided to ask this person for help, he understood that the other party had the right to know some of his situation.

He is not a liar.

He just really had nowhere else to go.

"Mom called once."

"Mom thought I didn't know."

"Actually, I heard it all at the door."

"Mom never thought about curing her illness."

"Mom wants to leave me to my grandparents to take care of."

The boy paused for a moment, then his face was full of sneer, "Grandpa? Grandma?"

"Ah!"

The boy took a deep breath, as if the following words made him very uncomfortable.

"They rejected my mother's request."

"They also said—"

"Says they don't have a disgraceful daughter like their mother."

"Even less a grandson like me whose father is unknown!"

"They said they no longer had any relationship with my mother and asked her not to call them again."

"My mother cried and begged them for my sake."

"They said I was still young, and what would I do if I was alone in the future?"

"They said Mom had it all her own way."

"They said they told my mother not to give birth to me, but my mother would rather run away from home to give birth to me."

"Mom was so stubborn and willful back then, so don't expect it to happen to them now."
