Hearing his sister's stern voice, Gu Beichen stuck out his tongue and said, "Okay, Sister, I know I was wrong. I'm starving. Let's go home quickly."
As he spoke, he ran home. Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly. She held Ye Xuan's hand tightly and hurried home.
At the end of the little river village, a dilapidated two-storey tile-roofed house stood there. The walls were mottled and the rusty door was dilapidated. It was obvious that this house had been around for some time.
As Gu Xiaoxiao opened the door, the three of them entered the house together.
In the house of the siblings.
The old and antique furniture seemed to be left behind from the last century. Under the dim light, it gave people a feeling of having four bare walls, which also proved that the siblings' lives were obviously very tight.
"Sit here properly and don't move. I'm going to cook now. If I find you running around when I come back, I'll punish you by not having dinner today. Do you hear me?"
Gu Xiaoxiao pressed Ye Xuan down on the chair as if she was coaxing a three-year-old child. She kept reminding Ye Xuan. Then, she put on an apron and walked into the kitchen to start the fire and start cooking dinner.
At the dining table.
The young Gu Beichen sat in the chair, bored. When he saw Ye Xuan sitting opposite him with his black hair covering his face, he became even more mischievous.
"Let me see what a blockhead like you looks like." The young Gu Beichen giggled and walked carefully to Ye Xuan's side. He reached out to brush away Ye Xuan's hair.
All of a sudden!
A pair of hands that were as white as jade quietly grabbed Gu Beichen's neck and lifted him into the air. His eyes, which were hidden under Ye Xuan's hair, were emitting a cruel and cold light.
"Sister, save me."
The young Gu Xiaoxiao immediately rushed out of the kitchen when the young Gu Beichen shouted. When she saw the young Gu Beichen's face turning red and struggling in Ye Xuan's hands, she hurried to Ye Xuan and said anxiously, "Quick … put him down."
At this moment!
The murderous glint in Ye Xuan's eyes faded. He glanced at Gu Xiaoxiao and released the young man. Then, he got up and walked towards the door.
"Hey, it's so late. Where are you going?" Before Ye Xuan could walk out of the house, Gu Xiaoxiao hurriedly blocked his way.
"This … is not a place for me to stay," Ye Xuan said in a low voice.
"You can leave if you want, but it's already so late. How about I send you to town tomorrow?"
Gu Xiaoxiao was a kind-hearted girl. She knew very well that there were no street lights in Little River Village. Moreover, the road outside was rugged. If anything happened to Ye Xuan, her conscience would not be at ease.
"Cough cough cough."
"Sis, he almost strangled me to death." The young man kept coughing, clearly frightened by Ye Xuan's methods.
"You little rascal. He was fine before. You must have done something to make him like this."
Gu Xiaoxiao knew that her little brother was extremely mischievous. Although she did not see what happened just now, she could guess that her little brother must have done something to cause such a scene.
"Tsk, I just wanted to see what he looked like. Who knew that he would be so fierce?" The young man mumbled.
"Come, come back with me for dinner. I'll send you to the Hanging Mirror Department in town tomorrow morning."
Before Ye Xuan could refuse, Gu Xiaoxiao pulled him by the arm and brought him back to the dining table. Then, she quickly brought out the dishes from the kitchen.
"Wow, Sis, you actually made braised carp?"
Gu Beichen was still a young man. When he saw the delicious food on the table, he immediately forgot about what had just happened. He picked up his chopsticks and was about to dig in.
"Little rascal, this is for him." Gu Xiaoxiao casually slapped the young man's chopsticks away. The young man's expression turned bitter. He said unhappily, "Sis, you're biased. You treat an outsider better than you treat me."
Looking at her little brother's aggrieved face, Gu Xiaoxiao's expression turned bitter. She picked up a piece of fish head and put it into the young man's bowl. She comforted him. "Little Brother, he's a guest and he's not in a good state of mind. Shouldn't we take care of him?"
"Sis, I understand." Although the young man was mischievous, he knew that his sister did not have it easy. He obediently ate the food in his bowl and gradually calmed down.
"Although I don't know your name, since you're able to come to our house, this is fate. Eat more."
As Gu Xiaoxiao spoke, she kept putting fish meat into Ye Xuan's bowl while she ate the salted vegetables and white rice on the table. The smile on her face was bright and cheerful.
Looking at this scene, Ye Xuan's cloudy eyes lit up slightly. He looked deeply at Gu Xiaoxiao. No one knew what he was thinking. Then, he picked up his chopsticks and put the fish meat in his bowl into his mouth.
"Is it good?"
Seeing Ye Xuan eat the food she made, Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and said.
Ye Xuan chewed carefully. However, after two mouthfuls, he put down his chopsticks. This startled Gu Xiaoxiao. She asked, "Is it because my food is not to your taste?"
"You … are very kind." Ye Xuan was silent for a few breaths. Finally, he raised his head and looked at Gu Xiaoxiao.
"But … the kind people in this world are destined to be plagued with misfortune." Ye Xuan said in a hoarse voice. He placed the fish meat in his bowl in front of the siblings. Then, he became silent again.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes became absent-minded. A trace of bitterness flashed across her eyes.
"When we were ten years old, our parents died in a shipwreck. Although we lost our parents, I still believe that there is love in this world. If you can face the world with kindness, the world will also treat us with kindness."
When Gu Xiaoxiao said this, happiness appeared on her face. She pointed at the house and said, "Do you see our house? The villagers helped us repair it. Because they are all very kind, we were able to have a place to live."
"So I have always believed that no matter how difficult the future is, as long as we have kind hearts, we will definitely be rewarded."
"That's right. My sister and I have vowed to become kind people. In the future, we will earn a lot of money to repair the houses of the villagers so that they can live a good life." The young man said passionately.
Sincere eyes and happy faces. When Ye Xuan saw this scene, his heart was deeply touched. He could not understand. The siblings clearly came from poor families. Even their parents had died in a shipwreck. Why were they such kind people?
"I believe that human nature is evil. In this world, no one can be trusted except yourself." Ye Xuan slowly shook his head. His words stunned the siblings.
"You are wrong. If you treat everyone with sincerity, they will definitely treat you with sincerity." Gu Xiaoxiao firmly believed in her theory.
"Sincerity? Kindness?"
"I … I don't think I have."
Ye Xuan's eyes were confused. The aura around him became even more confused.
