"Is it here?" Chu Zhuoran stared at the house in front of him with an indescribable feeling.
If there was anything better than this house in the slums, it would have been a separate house.
If Baiwenqing hadn't opened the door naturally, Chu Zhuoran wouldn't have thought that there would be someone living in this house.
When he opened the door, a nauseating stench of mold washed over him."I'm sorry.
I'll just go in alone.
I'll go with you as soon as I give the money to my younger brother." Bai Wenqing nodded and walked off on his own.
She knew that it wasn't that she was too ashamed of herself, but rather that her background was so humble.
Why should she let him accompany her?
He wasn't her either.
At most, he was her creditor.."I'll stay with you." Chu Zhuoran suddenly grabbed Bai Wenqing's arm.
The more she pretended to be strong, the more Chu Zhuoran wanted to protect her.
He didn't know why, but when he saw her indifference, he felt that this was the greatest irony to him.
He would rather have her cry so hard that he could vent all of the suppressed emotions in his heart instead of acting so indifferently.Did he care too much?
Chu Zhuoran rubbed his nose in self-mockery.
His performance tonight had been strangely repeated over and over again.
It seemed that he had been too tired recently.
Chu Zhuoran had given him such an answer in his heart, and he was trying to convince himself that this must be the case.
Why would he normally do something like this?.Did he care too much?
Chu Zhuoran rubbed the bridge of his nose in self-mockery.
His performance tonight had been strangely repeated over and over again.
It seemed like he had been too tired recently.
Chu Zhuoran had given him such an answer in his heart, and he was trying to convince himself that this must be the case.
Why would he normally do something like this?"Alright then, I'll be done soon." Since he had insisted, there was no need for her to bother him with this issue.
Ignoring him, Bai Wenqing pushed open the door and dashed into a room close to the door.
There was no sound at all.
Chu Zhuoran, who was standing behind her, was slightly stunned before he followed her into the room.
How could he not be suspicious of her?
He could tell that she was avoiding someone in the room.Even though Chu Zhuoran was full of questions, he understood that silence was the fastest way to deal with this situation.
He only wanted her.
There was no need to understand what kind of person she was.
Furthermore, Bai Wenqing might not be willing to let her enter her world, so why bother himself?.The light in the room was very dim and dim.
Only a swaying fifty-watt bulb was emitting a faint glow.
Under the guidance of the light, Chu Zhuoran leisurely walked around and vaguely saw a thin figure leaning over a simple desk and writing something.
Chu Zhuoran thought that this was perhaps her younger brother, because this was the first time that he had seen another emotion in Bai Wenqing's eyes.
It was a gentle and gentle look.
This was the gentleness that he had not shown even when he had saved her from danger.."Xiaofan." Bai Xiaofan, who had been completely focused on his studies, suddenly felt as though he had experienced a lifetime.
Was it really his older sister?
Or was it an illusion that he had been too tired from studying?
Bai Xiaofan turned around and rubbed his shaggy eyes.
For a moment, he couldn't believe his eyes.
The figure that hadn't appeared for a long time actually looked at him with sullen eyes.Listening to the familiar voice, Bai Xiaofan couldn't control his emotions any longer.
He got up and hugged Bai Wenqing tightly, "Sister, where did you go?
You don't want me anymore, do you?" Bai Xiaofan bit down hard on his lower lip so that his voice didn't sound like a pixiu.
He had promised his big sister that even if his big sister wasn't by his side, he would still be as brave as a man.."Big sis didn't abandon you.
Big sis just went to do some things.
Look, isn't big sis coming back to see you now?" Bai Wenqing suppressed the sourness in his heart.
He gently used his hand to comfort his younger brother.
Wasn't he too cruel?
Even though the environment had made Bai Xiaofan's scheme much more mature, he was still only a fourteen year old child.
He had only left for half a month and lost his backbone.
What if he didn't return?
Bai Wenqing didn't dare to think about it.
She suddenly had the urge to ask Chu Zhuoran to take her younger brother with him, but when she said these words, she lost the courage to speak.
She wasn't his family anymore, so what right did she have to ask him to take her brother with her?."Bai Wenqing suppressed the bitterness in his heart and gently used his hand to comfort his younger brother.
Wasn't he too cruel?
Even though the environment had made Bai Xiaofan's plan much more mature, he was still only a fourteen year old child after all.
He had only left for half a month and lost his backbone.
What if he never returned?
Bai Wenqing didn't dare to think about it.
At that moment, she suddenly had the urge to beg Chu Zhuoran to take her younger brother with him.
However, when she spoke, she lost the courage to speak.
She wasn't his own.
She was already his lover, so what right did she have to ask him to take her brother away with her?Chu Zhuoran looked at Bai Wenqing's expression, which seemed as though he wanted to say something but hesitated, and immediately understood what she was thinking.
He knew that if she had pleaded with him, he wouldn't have minded taking this burden away.
However, seeing her hesitant expression, Chu Zhuoran decided to ignore her.
He had never liked trouble, so the things that had happened today were already complicated enough.."Do I still have any free time in the future?" Bai Wenqing turned around and asked Chu Zhuoran with his lips.
There was no way she could just ignore her younger brother like this.
Originally, she had harbored some sort of fantasy, but Chu Zhuoran's shake of his head made her realize that she had to accept a cruel reality right now."Xiaofan, how have you been recently?" Bai Wenqing secretly wiped away the tears in his eyes, and finally straightened up Bai Xiaofan's body.
She had concealed it well, so the shrewd Bai Xiaofan didn't notice the sorrow hidden in his sister's eyelashes.
All he knew now was that his sister could be with him again."Sister, I'm fine.
This time, I've taken second place in class." Perhaps it was due to a child's personality, but after a flash of sadness just now, he began to show off his results to sister."Xiaofan, didn't you promise big sis that you'd get first place in class?" Bai Wenqing deliberately put on a stern face and spoke in a harsh tone.
However, she was the only one who knew exactly what he was talking about.
She wanted to show him a smile to encourage him, to praise him, to show how proud her big sis was, but she couldn't.
She could only find an excuse to tell her little brother that she was going to leave again.
She didn't want him to think about why big sis would leave with someone she didn't know.
This wasn't something he could understand at his age.Sometimes, reality was harder to accept than a white lie.Picking to cheat didn't mean choosing to hurt him.
Sometimes, it was just for his own good."Big sis, I promise I'll win first place next time.
Please don't be angry, okay?" Bai Xiaofan's eyes darkened, and tears almost fell from his eyes.
After all, he was only a fourteen year old child.
In his subconscious, this must have been because his grades weren't good enough to make big sis angry.
He didn't want big sis to be angry at at all.
Big sis was the best person in this world for him.
However, apart from promising that he would be able to get a better exam next time, he couldn't make big sis smile.."Xiaofan, take this check and don't let dad know about this money.
Can you promise big sis?
I'll come back and see you when Xiaofan takes first place next time." Baiwenqing's heart was cut like a knife as she wiped away Bai Xiaofan's tears.
She knew that no matter how much she was reluctant to part with him, this place was not a place to stay for long.
Once her father returned, this matter would no longer be under her control.
She couldn't guarantee that the drunkard, who had already lost his mind, would have such a crazy and unreasonable request when he saw this man in front of her.."Big sis, you're leaving again?" Although Bai Xiaofan was somewhat surprised and reluctant to part with her, he didn't act like he was being unreasonable.
He was young, but the cruelty of reality made him seem even more mature than most of his peers.
She knew that if it weren't for the fact that his big sis had been struggling outside every day, she might have already stayed with his father on the streets.."You have to promise big sis that you won't let father know about this sum of money, okay?" Baiwenqing stared intently at her younger brother.
She knew that his younger brother would always frugally pass the rest of the money to her father.
His heart was the same as her, and his blood was soaked in water.
How could he possibly give up the same amount of blood?
However, she had no choice but to be merciless.
She didn't know if she would still have the chance to take care of him as soon as she left.
She wondered if this would be the end of her life.."Big sis, I promise you." Bai Xiaofan's reply was direct and direct, but he had already made it clear from his glare.
Bai Wenqing stared at Bai Xiaofan for a long time, but in the end, she gave up.
It was easy to change one's nature, not to mention that he was still a child.
She could only pray that her father wouldn't be greedy for this sum of money.
If he still had a human nature, he would have understood that this was his brother's fee, but would he really understand?."Bai Xiaofan's answer was direct and direct, but he had already made it clear from his eyes that Bai Xiaofan's words were wrong.
Bai Wenqing looked at Bai Xiaofan for a long time, but in the end, she gave up.
It was easy to change one's nature, let alone a child.
She could only pray that her father would not be greedy for this money.
If he still had human nature, he would have understood that this was his brother's school fees, but he really did understand."I'm leaving.
You have to take good care of yourself." Bai Wenqing opened the wardrobe and casually placed a few pieces of clothing into his luggage.
Then, he grabbed Bai Xiaofan's head and walked out of the room without any hesitation.
She had already done everything she could, and her life would belong to this strange man.From his soul to his fleshly body, everything belonged to him.Chu Zhuoran had been leaning against the wall, watching her leave without saying a word.
He didn't know why this woman gave him a strange feeling.
It was as if she was soft and gentle as water, or cold and emotionless.
These two completely different emotions could actually fuse well with her, or perhaps she could interpret this strange combination.He was truly interested in her..."Next up, I'll be yours." Just as the two of them returned to the car and Chu Zhuoran was about to start his engine, Baiwenqing suddenly spoke up.
However, the cold voice gave Chu Zhuoran a very uncomfortable feeling.
This was because this voice could only be made out of the ashes of walking corpses.
What he wanted was a living person, not an emotionless mortal."Chu Zhuoran." Chu Zhuoran laughed softly as he started the engine.
He suddenly felt that everything that had transpired was too absurd.
Since he was in charge of this farce, why did he still care about the attitude of such a woman?
Was it because she was too special?
But why was he able to let her be so special to affect his own emotions?."Chu Zhuoran laughed softly as he started the engine.
He suddenly wondered if all of this had happened too preposterously.
Since he was in charge of this farce, why did he still care about the attitude of such a shady woman?
Was it because she was too special?
But why was he able to let her be so special to affect his emotions?"Bai Wenqing." Chu Zhuoran's attitude left her somewhat at a loss for what to do, and made her feel sorry for his unreasonable actions earlier.
He was the one who had unexpectedly taken her away from the villain's side.
He was the one who had helped her deal with her younger brother's worries.
Regardless of what would happen next, she still owed him.However, she had to be stubborn and say sorry.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't say the word 'Sorry'.
If she was wrong, then she was wrong.
In the end, she still owed him...After the two of them reported to each other, the car fell into silence.
Looking out the window, Baiwenqing's thoughts were already drifting away from her own world.
She couldn't tell what was wrong with the two of them.
They were clearly two worlds apart from each other, but the two of them were surprisingly together in the narrow confines of the car.
They could still sense each other's breathing.Bai Wenqing didn't know what he thought of Chu Zhuoran.
Many women probably dreamed of being favored by him, but why was it that he met him in such a situation?
Was it fate?
Or was it just that he was overthinking things?.She really wanted to ask about him, but in the end, she didn't have the courage to open her mouth.
She asked too much, just to increase the distance between them.
He was just her creditor, nothing else...
