The young man reprimanded Li Wei with a sullen face. His tone was slow and he did not use any insulting words. However, Li Wei and his Orphan Gang were ruthless characters that no one in the city dared to underestimate. The young man was only 15 or 16 years old, yet he reprimanded them like this. The contempt was very clear.
Li Wei had been at the bottom of society since he was young, and he had always maintained certain principles and refused to cross the line.
He had always been more tolerant of women and children who did not know better. He respected the father of the boy in front of him very much, but this did not mean that he did not have a temper. When the leader of the Orphan Gang was reprimanded like this, he did not dare to lose his temper.
He raised his head and stared at the boy in front of him. He gradually sobered up. His eyes were as bright and clear as when he was young, but there was no trace of emotion.
At this moment, a charming young woman in her thirties hurried over. She saw the scene in front of her and her face suddenly changed color. She quickly stood in front of the boy and gave Li Wei an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry, Brother Wei. You know that children nowadays are really immature."
Li Wei was silent for a moment and replied with a smile, "Sister Feirong is right."
The boy was a little embarrassed to be reprimanded by his elder. Just as he was about to say something, he saw his aunt turn around and glare at him. Her eyes were cold and stern.
As the woman who had been with Lin Banshan for the longest time, Li Feirong had never been able to become Lin Banshan's official wife. Now that she was old, she was not favored. However, her position in the hearts of the people of Bermuda was still very high.
Li Feirong once again expressed her sincere apology to Li Wei. With her status, she did not need to do so. However, she was very clear that after Lin Banshan left Bermuda, the originally unknown leader of the Orphan Gang in front of her had sacrificed a lot for the safety of her and the boy beside her. He had sacrificed a lot to protect Lin Banshan's foundation.
The adults present expressed their apologies and gratitude. They carefully and carefully repaired their relationship with each other to avoid affecting the overall situation. The boy's gloomy face was gloomy. His eyes were full of indifference as he looked coldly into the distance.
No one noticed that Xu Le's eyes narrowed.
Only Zhong Huoyan noticed it.
Dressed in a white dress, she was like an innocent and well-behaved princess, allowing the boy to gently hold her hand as if he was holding a treasure. Under her neat black bangs that were like watermelon skin, there was a cunning light in her eyes. She carefully and joyfully paid attention to Xu Le's expression.
When Xu Le narrowed his eyes, it meant that he felt extreme danger or made a great decision. His enemies would often sense his determination from this small action and feel the cold danger.
At this moment, his raised eyebrows fell and his eyes narrowed. It only represented one emotion, and that was anger.
He stared at the hands of the young man and woman holding each other. His mind was occupied by anger and drunkenness. He did not notice that Zhong Huoyan was secretly looking at him at this time. Her eyes were shining with a light that revealed the truth.
Thump, thump, thump. His hard-soled leather boots collided with the hotel's smooth floor, making crisp and hard sounds. He walked forward with a sullen face. He was too lazy to speak. He directly grabbed Zhong Huoyan's left hand and pulled her back to his side.
A gust of wind blew. Because the boy treasured his little female companion, he was ecstatic that she let him hold her hand. He was so nervous that he only dared to gently hold three of her fingers, so he did not react at all. When he realized that the beautiful girl had been pulled away, he felt that his hand was empty, just like his heart was empty.
He raised his head in shock and looked at the boorish man in front of him who reeked of alcohol. His chest rose and fell angrily, but in order to maintain his composure, he forcibly suppressed his temper and asked coldly, "Uncle, what do you want to do?"
…
…
The boy was called Lin Xihua. He was Lin Banshan's only son.
Because he had such a father, he had been cherished and protected by countless elders since he was young, whether it was on Pop Star or when he occasionally returned to the Federation's Lin family mansion to visit relatives. He was surrounded and protected by countless people of the same age.
In a place like Bermuda, Lin Xihua was a privileged person like the crown prince. He enjoyed all kinds of wealth and enjoyed all kinds of luxuries, including those women who had golden flowers in their eyes.
He did not have any friends of the same age as him, and he disdained to look for so-called friends. He even scoffed at things like love.
Until this morning, when he saw the girl in a white dress by the floor-to-ceiling window in his hotel lobby. He looked at the lonely expression on the girl's pure face, and just like that, he fell for her.
Every father downstairs saw a nervous little boy who was preparing to send his daughter to school for the first time. Every brother saw a stinky boy who climbed into the cinema for the first time. These were definitely bad memories that men did not want to remember the most.
For similar reasons, when Xu Le saw Zhong Huoyan's little hand being held by the boy in the hotel lobby, his mood was very bad.
When he heard the boy call him an uncle, his bad mood became even worse. Xu Le raised his empty left hand and slapped the boy's head heavily without any trace of politeness. He lectured, "How old are you? How dare you learn how to stir up trouble everywhere!"
Lin Xihua was stunned. He had lived for 16 years and had never been hit before. Only after half a day did the dull pain on his head remind him that he had really been hit.
"You're crazy! How dare you hit me! "
Lin Xihua did not shout like the other rich kids. Do you know who my father is? On one hand, it was because his father had sternly reprimanded him for making such a stupid declaration that had no technical or aesthetic value. On the other hand, it was because he always thought that the people who were qualified to enter this hotel definitely knew who he was.
Slap!
Xu Le did not hold back and slapped the boy's head heavily again. He said, "There aren't many people in this world that I don't dare to hit."
Lin Xihua rubbed his throbbing head. He was so shocked that he almost forgot how to make an angry expression. Then, he noticed that Zhong Huoyan's little white hand was still being held tightly by the drunkard. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Later, you better beg for a quick death."
When he said this, Lin Xihua looked at Xu Le as if he was looking at a corpse in a pile of dog feces. It was abnormally cold.
Standing beside Xu Le, Zhong Huoyan kept her head down in silence. Her drooping black hair hid a sweet smile. To her, holding hands with her brother was a very normal thing. The key was that he had pulled her to his side so abruptly. Standing in a position that seemed to belong to her forever, it felt really good.
Because she was immersed in joy, she did not notice the beginning of the conversation. Then, she was awakened by Lin Xifeng's words. She suddenly raised her head and stared at the boy opposite her with a frown. She said coldly, "This is my brother. Who do you want to die?"
Lin Xihua was stunned. He looked at the girl opposite him. Her furrowed brows were so beautiful. Although she was angry, she was still so moving. Then, he suddenly remembered what she had said. This drunkard was her brother?
When one was infatuated with a pearl, one had to be extra protective of the gift box that contained the pearl. After a short while, Lin Xihua decided to let the drunkard go. However, the proud boy who had never been hit in his life still could not get rid of the anger in his heart. He frowned and looked at Xu Le.
"Uncle, no, big brother, although you are Guagua's brother, I don't think you can so rudely oppose me dating her. You have to know that we are no longer children. I'll say something you might not like to hear, but we are in the rebellious phase of youth. Can you solve this by suppressing us? Besides … "
At this time, Clockwork had already lowered his head and pretended to be shy. He clutched the corner of Xu Le's clothes tightly. He did not look, but he could guess that the boy's gaze was getting more and more angry and provocative.
Xu Le saw the mocking provocation in the boy's eyes as he calmly narrated the story. He also felt a strong sense of possessiveness. He narrowed his eyes and raised his hand again.
Pa pa pa pa!
He hit the boy's head four times and frowned. "I killed people when I was ten and fled when I was sixteen. I was wanted by the entire universe for my entire adolescence. You want to compete with me in terms of rebelliousness? Have you grown all your hair? "
Li Feirong had been talking to Li Wei. By the time she noticed the conflict, it was already too late. She watched as Lin Xihua's head was being hit like a sandbag by that man. Her face instantly turned pale.
She hurriedly pulled Lin Xihua into her arms and gently rubbed the back of his head. She looked at the boy's eyes that were tearing up from the pain. Her expression was calm, but her heart was filled with anger. This was a child that even Lin Banshan could not bear to hit. She did not even dare to hit him.
She did not raise her head, nor did she bother to do so. She secretly made a decision. Even if this drunkard was Li Wei's friend, he had to pay the price. She said in a low voice, "Mister, there are some things that should not be done even if you are drunk. Seeing that you are the elder brother of that young lady, I advise you to know how to respect the matters of young people. If an adult wants to forcefully interfere, his elders will also interfere."
"There is no respect in this world for no reason. If my son were to chase after Lin Banshan's daughter, I would definitely respect him."
Li Feirong raised her head in shock and anger. She wondered who this person was. After knowing that this child was Lin Banshan's son, he still dared to be so arrogant.
Xu Le looked at the familiar face. He had already guessed the identity of the boy, but his face remained expressionless. He said, "This little fart, which elder wants to interfere in this matter? So what if it's Lin Banshan? Although the tiger in the West Woods is no longer around, there are still many elders around my family. "
Li Feirong looked at the pair of small eyes that left a deep impression on her. She then looked at the black-haired girl beside him and guessed that she was the little princess of the Zhong family. She covered her mouth in shock.
Xu Le turned his head to look at Lin Xihua, who was holding his head. He said, "What is a real rebel? Learn from your father. Throw away all your family background and still dare to go around seducing young ladies. That is a real rebel. "
Lin Xihua did not understand these words. He only felt anger, pain, and grievance. He grabbed Li Feirong's hand and shouted, "Auntie, no one has ever dared to hit me!"
"I already said that there is no one in this world that I dare not hit."
Xu Le unceremoniously slapped him again. He frowned and said, "This is really strange. I admire Lin Banshan so much. A few years ago, I helped him discipline his brother, and now I have to help him discipline his son."
Li Feirong quickly pulled Lin Xihua behind her, but she did not dare to show any signs of anger. One had to know that the image of Xu Le pointing a gun at Lin Daohai in the manor had left a deep impression on her.
That conflict was because Lin Daohai had tried to assassinate Xu Le in the West Woods. After that, when everyone thought that this matter would be forgotten, Xu Le ended his dinner with Jian Shui'er and Tai Zhiyuan and led Group Seven to surround the manor. Even when Lin Banshan called to plead for mercy, it was useless. That was until the heads of the seven families lowered their noble heads to show that they had lost.
It was this incident that made Li Feirong realize that this small-eyed man did not have the concept of family background or power.
The problem was that Xu Le and Group Seven were in the right during that incident, but today's situation was completely unreasonable. Li Feirong could not help but add another evaluation of Xu Le, who had been missing for three years: unreasonable.
Looking at Lin Xihua, who was in the arms of a mature woman, Xu Le shook his head. Like a strict father, he unreasonably shouted to Zhong Huoyan, who was beside him, "Go back to the room!"
In front of everyone except Philip, Zhong Huoyan had always given Xu Le face. Hearing this thunderous roar, she obediently held his hand and left.
…
…
Returning to the luxurious suite on the top floor, there was no one else. Zhong Huoyan did not need to give Xu Le any face. She stood in front of the sofa, her hands on her slender waist. She lowered her head and looked at him with interest. Her beautiful black hair hung in front of her slightly raised chest, and her eyes were full of youthfulness.
Xu Le, who had drunk too much wine, was thirsty and confused. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the delicate little face in front of him. He vaguely felt that something big was about to happen.
"Brother!"
Zhong Huoyan held her face and stared at his face. She shouted loudly, "When we were in the Empire, you said that I would one day fall in love with another boy. Then why did you hit him just now? Why do you care if I fall in love!"
Xu Le was at a loss for words. In order to hide his awkwardness, he poured a glass of water from the table and drank it very slowly. Then, he found that the girl was still in that questioning position with her head lowered, so he very obediently moved back under her gaze.
"It's like this."
After thinking for a while, he tried to explain, "Of course you have to fall in love, but you have to find a suitable partner. That little brat is called Lin Xihua, right? Don't be fooled by his appearance. If you think about it with your brain, you will know that a man who grew up in this kind of environment has nothing in his mind other than synthetic meat. Although his father is an amazing person, he will at most become a gang leader in the future. As your legal guardian, I will not allow this to happen. "
It was rare for him to have such a long speech, but Zhong Huoyan's cool words retorted, "Your best friend is just a gang leader."
Xu Le reached out and pushed the girl's hair away from her face. He looked at the delicate little face full of anger and said with difficulty, "You are still too young. Even if you want to fall in love, you have to wait until you are 16 years old. No, you have to wait until you are 18 years old before you are allowed to fall in love. Of course, the other party has to be approved by me."
Zhong Huoyan stood up straight and looked at him with a cold smile. She said, "Brother, you don't want me to fall in love. You just want to tie me to your side."
Xu Le angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhong Huoyan pointed at him with her fingertips. "Your behavior just now shows that you are jealous."
"You are really crazy." Xu Le laughed.
The coolness on Zhong Huoyan's face had long disappeared without a trace. She sweetly said, "You are jealous. When you see other boys holding my hand, you are unhappy."
Xu Le looked at the sweet smile on the girl's face. His eyebrows slowly creased. He spread out his hands and said, "If your father was alive, he would not be happy just now either."
Zhong Huoyan did not pay attention to his explanation. She giggled and like a little bird flying back to its nest, she comfortably snuggled in his arms and sweetly said, "Brother, just admit that you like me. We are not really related by blood, so there is no shame."
Smelling the faint fragrance floating to his nose and feeling the youthful body in his arms, Xu Le gently hugged her just like when they were children. He suddenly found that the nutrition ratio that Philip had made in the past few years was really good. The little girl in his arms had developed well after entering puberty. She was tender, soft, and warm.
Xu Le suddenly woke up and found that there was something wrong with his previous absent-mindedness. He frowned and put her on the sofa. He said, "You are a big girl, but you don't feel ashamed."
"Yes, I am not afraid of being ashamed. What are you afraid of?"
Zhong Huoyan angrily put her head behind his shoulder and looked at him. She said, "That year, you held my hand in the rain at the airport. You held my hand in the mountains. You also held me on the spaceship. You also held me in the amusement park. I know that I was a little girl at that time, so you could hold my hand."
"And now? I am growing up day by day. You rarely hold my hand, let alone hold me. I don't like it. I would rather not have grown up. "
Zhong Huoyan's eyes were slightly red. She looked at him and said calmly, "But people always have to grow up. I am not afraid of being ashamed. I just like to hold you."
Xu Le helplessly spread out his hands. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He could only sigh softly.
"I like you."
Zhong Huoyan said with certainty and firmness, "I also know that you like me. Whether it is because you are afraid of being gossiped about, or because you are suppressed by the pedantic and even stupid views of love and marriage in your mind that you don't dare to admit it."
"Don't try to refuse me, because you are the only one in the world who has seen my naked body. Do you remember how many times you have bathed me since I was a child? How many times have you brazenly seen my body while I was bathing? "
Zhong Huoyan bravely stared into Xu Le's eyes. Her smooth and white cheeks revealed two blushes of shyness, like fresh apples on the branches.
"Brother, you have combed my hair and washed my underwear. Even when I had my first period, you were by my side. Until today, I still remember how warm your hand was when you put it on my lower abdomen."
"My parents are dead. You are my only family in the world. But brother, you are not my biological brother, so you have to be responsible for me. You have to marry me."
Xu Le, supported by the toughest stone spirit in the universe, reluctantly listened to the girl's shy and brave confession. He was stupefied for a long time. Suddenly, he understood the matter. He waved his arms and protested, "You were only five years old when I bathed you! And Shang Qiu was there that night! "
"I said when I was young that I liked Shang Qiu. I didn't mind her being my mistress."
Zhong Huoyan smiled sweetly. Her bright eyes curved into two crescent moons. Then she slightly raised her chin and proudly and coldly asked, "You don't have to be responsible for things that happened when I was five years old? Or are you saying that you can ignore me now that I am fifteen years old? "
Xu Le rubbed her head and said with a bitter smile, "Good girl. Do you know how many sisters-in-law you already have? If I don't die when I go back this time, there will be more trouble. You can just let me go, okay?"
"It is because I am going back to the Federation soon and I need to see those women that I am anxious. I am going back to the West Woods. Who will look after you?"
Zhong Huoyan angrily escaped from his evil hands. She raised her white sleeve to wipe the tears on her cheeks and shouted, "It will be best if you go back to the Federation and find that they are all married."
"Then …"
Xu Le wanted to say that it would be best, but when he was about to say it, he subconsciously sighed. "That's not very good, is it?"
Zhong Huoyan suddenly raised her head and looked at him very seriously. After a moment of silence, she said, "Brother, it is really dangerous to go back to the Federation this time. You may really die. Before you die, can you promise me one last wish?"
"No." Xu Le said resolutely.
Zhong Huoyan angrily picked up a pillow to cover her burning face and protested in a muffled voice, "It took me a lot of courage to say this. You don't know that my last wish is to be your woman. Why did you say no?"
Xu Le looked at the eyes blinking behind the pillow and felt that this was the cute little girl. He said with a smile, "Because I will never die."
Zhong Huoyan threw away the pillow and said mockingly, "You only know how to copy your teacher's famous words."
…
…
"Brother, when you were young, you lived in the East Woods called the Clock Tower Street, right?"
"Yes."
"Do you know why the Clock Tower Street is called that?"
"Because when human society was exploring, the main battleship of the Fourth Military Region that was carrying out a mission inexplicably crashed, leaving only an antique clock."
Zhong Huoyan cutely tapped the tip of her nose and said, "The commander of the Fourth Military Region is my ancestor. What a coincidence, right?"
Hearing this, Xu Le realized that the story of the origin of the name of the Clock Tower Street was actually related to the Zhong family of the West Woods.
"I also know that when my ancestor saw the explosion when the battleship crashed, he once said something. Later, it became a famous quote that you East Woods people use to pretend to be cool."
Xu Le repeated with a smile, "My mood is lonelier than Huoyan."
Zhong Huoyan moved her body and lay on his chest. From a very close distance, she looked at his face and said, "My name is Zhong Huoyan."
Xu Le felt the heartbeat of the girl in his arms and asked, "And then?"
"The East Woods and the West Woods are separated by countless galaxies, facing each other on opposite sides of the universe. They are so far away that they can't be further away. But the amazing thing is that the places we live and the stories we tell seem to be connected."
"This connection is very strong. It is so strong that the first person I met on the Ancient Clock Tower when I was young could only be you."
"A big fugitive meeting a small fugitive … this is the arrangement of fate. Brother, this kind of thing is something you can't avoid."
Zhong Huoyan leaned on his strong chest and said slowly with her eyes closed. Because she was too tired, she fell into a deep sleep with tears on her face.
Xu Le silently looked at the girl in his arms and thought of the girl in white who held a doll under the stars many years ago. He couldn't help but feel a little lost. So, ten years had passed in the blink of an eye.
The temperature of the suite was set low. Zhong Huoyan's hand felt a little cold. In her sleep, she subconsciously put her hand into Xu Le's collar and pressed it against his warm and strong chest. Then, like a playful cat, she gently scratched it.
Probably because the feeling and temperature were good, the girl's lips curled up and showed a satisfied and sweet smile.
Xu Le looked at the smile on her face and couldn't help but smile slightly. He whispered, "When you were ten years old, I thought that in the future, there would be a lot of annoying little boys with pimples on their faces chasing you."
He pulled out his numb arm and gently moved his fingers. With a thought, he slowly drew on Zhong Huoyan's thin eyebrows with his fingertips. After a long silence, he calmly said, "If you were still awake, you might be happy to hear this sentence."
"At that time, I was very unhappy when I imagined that scene. But I have to admit that it is indeed different from when I saw that scene before."
Because he drank too much and listened to too many confessions from girls that he didn't know how to respond, Xu Le's head was a little dizzy. He took a pillow and put it behind his neck. After looking at the ceiling for more than ten seconds, he fell asleep quietly.
The next morning, the light blue star light penetrated the bulletproof glass and occupied every corner of the room. The siblings on the sofa slowly fell down.
They woke up almost at the same time. Zhong Huoyan found that her left hand was comfortably stroking in Xu Le's arms. She shyly pulled it out and then rushed into the bathroom with a bashful smile while rubbing her messy hair.
Xu Le stood up and stretched his arms to get rid of the soreness of last night. Then he glanced at the closed door of the bathroom and thought with a smile that the little girl's expression would make her rush out of the door in a while. He held his waist and shyly told himself to forget all the words she had said yesterday and not to think about them again.
He sighed with emotion and thought that the words he heard last night were beautiful notes in life that could only be listened to quietly but not grasped.
Half an hour later, Zhong Huoyan finished washing up and then walked out of the bathroom. Without any hesitation, she went directly to Xu Le.
The light beige windbreaker decorated the girl's waistline very charming. She had very light makeup on her face, which was rare, and her eyebrows and eyes were particularly beautiful. She held her hands nervously and looked at Xu Le very seriously and said,
"To me, what I said yesterday is probably just an episode in my life. But please remember that this will definitely be the main melody of my life."
Looking at the closed door and thinking about the girl's declaration before she left, Xu Le, who was in the light blue light, was extremely stiff. He still maintained his comical posture with his arms raised. At this moment, he even felt that he had forgotten what the movements Uncle Feng Yu had taught him were.
Just as he turned into a stone statue, the metal piece in his ear that had stopped vibrating for a long time came again. It became a clear sound that transmitted into his brain through his eardrums. But today, the sound was very emotional.
…
…
(I'm really not good at writing this plot. I wrote it the whole night and almost died. But I had to write it because the spies have been doing this since the first chapter.
Zhonglou Street, including the sentence that was ridiculed by countless people, was lonelier than fireworks. It was all for Zhong Huoyan. For me, the heroine of this book has always been Zhong Huoyan. It has never changed.
It has nothing to do with what I'm raised. It has to do with my hobbies. What I like most is the intimate relationship between siblings. This should be the influence of Love in Blue. Yingxiu wrote about it, Qing Yunian wrote about it, and the spies also wrote about it. In the next book, I will write about it officially.
But Little Watermelon is really too small, and I'm really not good at writing these things. So when I was suffering this night, I kept thinking about Xia Huaniang's heart of rebirth.
