Chapter 3489 The Lost Boy
The boy felt comforted.
Sweet candies...
It’s really easy to have the ability to not help but smile.
……
The young man's expression relaxed.
I cried anyway.
It's almost embarrassing and humiliating.
There was no point in trying to save him.
The only thing worth celebrating is...
Only the eldest brother saw such an embarrassing scene.
……
He suddenly liked rainy days.
The gloomy sky and the hurried pedestrians hiding under umbrellas... all made him feel at ease.
No one will notice him.
He could cry with his head down without worrying about being seen.
…..
certainly.
He had no intention of crying.
The crying that was almost breaking down just now was completely out of his control...
He doesn't like it.
He doesn't like to cry.
Apart from making himself look like a clown and highlighting his own uselessness and embarrassment, he doesn't know what more joyful meaning there is?
……
The young man took a deep breath.
He reached out and wiped his face randomly again.
Trying to eliminate all evidence of his crying.
……
He looked at his elder brother.
"Big brother."
The young man pursed his lips hard.
"...I'm sorry."
……
"Why apologize?"
Xiao Xiao looked at the young man.
The complexion is bland.
……
"..."
The young man was a little confused by the question.
Why apologize?
Because….
He cried inexplicably.
He was frustrated.
Did you meet a kind-hearted big brother?
As a result, I was either making a fool of myself in front of my elder brother, or was on the way to making a fool of myself.
Big brother….
Do you dislike him in your heart?
……
"Did something happen?"
Xiao Xiao did not dwell on the previous question.
he asked instead.
……
ah?
The young man looked up at his elder brother blankly.
……
"Don't say anything if it's inconvenient to say."
Xiao Xiao slightly arched his eyebrows.
He didn't mean to know anything.
But the boy cried in front of him.
He felt like he had to ask.
Maybe...
He can help with the problems that young people encounter.
certainly.
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 ached.
He doesn't know...
He is not used to talking...
But I am a little unwilling...
……
"Where are you going?"
Xiao Xiao raised the corner of his mouth to the young man.
Changed the topic again.
"I'll take you there."
Although the rain was not as loud as it was at the beginning, it was not a light rain that could be completely ignored.
There was no urgency around him.
Just good people do it to the end.
Send the boy to where he wants to go.
……
The boy didn't react.
He was still struggling with the previous issue.
The elder brother raised a new question.
Where is he going...
The young man's eyebrows showed a bit of confusion.
Where is he going...
He doesn't know.
……
Xiao Xiao sighed slightly in his heart.
It seems that he met a lost boy.
Hmm.
He didn't mean that the boy was lost.
……
The smile on Xiao Xiao's face became a little gentler.
"If you don't know where you are going for a while..."
"There is a library out front."
"Want to go there for a while?"
"You can take shelter from the rain by the way."
……
library?
Before the young man could clarify the thoughts in his mind, he had already nodded.
He heard himself say...
"Okay."
……
"Then let's go."
Xiao Xiao walked from the opposite side of the young man to the young man's side.
He turned his head and looked at the boy.
……
After the young man was stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly took steps forward.
The boy's face started to heat up again.
How could he act so clumsy and slow?
The young man was very depressed in his heart. ……
Xiao Xiao put away his umbrella.
"Go in."
He smiled at the boy.
……
The young man walked into the library with a bit of hesitation.
He has not been here.
The unfamiliar environment made him feel a little nervous subconsciously.
……
He stopped.
Waiting for the big brother who has folded his umbrella to come over.
……
Xiao Xiao took the young man to the rest area in the library.
He ordered two hot drinks.
……
"Do you like cocoa?"
Xiao Xiao placed a cup of hot cocoa in front of the boy.
Then he sat down opposite the young man.
……
This is a corner location by the window.
The view is good.
Their table was the only one occupied nearby.
Originally, the rest area in the library was deserted.
After all, everyone comes to the library to read.
If you come to the rest area...
Might as well go to the coffee shop in the first place.
It has more atmosphere there.
……
"Like it."
The boy held the cup that his elder brother placed in front of him with both hands.
A warmth spread upward from the palm of his hand.
He moved slightly closer to the cup.
Suddenly, a strong aroma of cocoa hit us.
He tilted his face subconsciously.
But soon, he straightened his face.
It smells so good.
Originally, he was dispensable to the hot drink.
But now...
He enjoyed the hot drink.
Very drinkable.
…..
"Just like it."
Xiao Xiao also picked up the cocoa and took a sip.
"Let's rest here for a while."
The boy had been walking in the rain for who knows how long before he saw him.
Her hair, shoulders and back were all wet from the rain.
……
"Hmm...hmm."
The boy sipped hot cocoa.
He frowned slightly.
He felt the raindrops falling from his head reach his neck.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch the back of his neck.
……
"Why not hold an umbrella and walk in the rain?"
Xiao Xiao asked after the young man held the cup in his hands again.
……
"No, no umbrella."
The young man stumbled as he answered.
There was a bit of nervousness in his slightly tense look.
……
"Why don't you find a place nearby to take shelter from the rain?"
The first question is just a starter.
After all, it was an obvious fact that the boy didn't have an umbrella.
……
The young man opened his mouth.
No sound came out.
He pressed his lips together hard.
Let the last touch of blood fade from your lips.
……
"Is it intentional?"
Xiao Xiao came to this conclusion not surprisingly.
"Like rain?"
"Or is there another reason?"
……
The young man lowered his eyes.
I felt a little annoyed.
He wanted to say that he liked the rain.
But no sound came out.
He reached out and touched his neck.
Of course there are other reasons.
And this reason...
……
"Don't want to answer? Or don't know how to answer..."
Xiao Xiao asked straightforwardly.
……
The young man felt at a loss.
ah?
……
"That's it."
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curved slightly.
"I said, 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 young man looked at his elder brother blankly.
I don’t want to say...
no.
He didn’t know how to say it...
I don’t know if others are interested in hearing his boring stories...
He didn't even want to see other people's sympathetic eyes.
He doesn't like to be pitied.
Not at all.
Even if his situation is indeed not very good.
