What about the revenge line? [Rebirth]
Chapter 28
It was cold and dry in January in Qingshi, but today the cloudy clouds of the previous few days were reversed. The sun was high in the sky, and it was clear.
The preparations for Li Huaixin's birthday party were very simple. Both Li's father and Li's mother thought that she was too young, and it would be bad to hold her birthday too grandly, so they just invited some close friends to hold a small celebration party at home .
Around [-] o'clock in the afternoon, guests have already come to Li's house one after another. The small garden is full of pink balloons and princess-style tables and chairs. The small table is full of exquisite cakes and candies, and there are princesses in animation People in costumes stood in the middle of the garden playing with a few children.
Li Huaicheng didn't see Li Huaixin in the garden, and turned around to find Li Huaixin sitting alone on the steps of the backyard, kicking around with her chubby legs pouted and hanging, and Chu Qi lying beside her legs, very well-behaved.
Li Huaicheng laughed, stepped forward and hugged Li Huaixin, patted the dust on her white socks, and asked, "Why are you here? Where's Aunt Cao?"
Li Huaixin looked up and saw that it was Li Huaicheng, tears slid down his cheeks as soon as his mouth shrunk, looking extremely aggrieved.
"What's wrong?" Li Huaicheng patted her on the back, saw her red nose from crying, and said softly, "Why are the egg rolls crying?"
Hearing Li Huaicheng's voice, Li Huaixin, who had been sobbing silently, hugged his neck tightly and cried out loudly. His white and tender face was flushed from crying, and tears were hanging on his long curly eyelashes, which was very pitiful.
Li Huaicheng just wanted to ask why Li Huaixin was here alone and where Auntie Cao went, but her words were broken up by her crying, and he hugged her at a loss as he walked and talked to distract her: " Shall we go have some snacks? My brother helped the egg rolls make cakes, and the egg rolls want to go and have a look?"
Li Huaixin paused for a moment, blinked his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded but was not happy, tears still falling down.
"Hey, stop crying, your nose is red."
Li Huaicheng coaxed Li Huaixin softly, and searched for Aunt Cao's figure. The guests were all in the small garden, and no one came here. How could Aunt Cao let Li Huaixin sit here alone.
Seeing that Li Huaixin was much calmer, Li Huaicheng asked, "Why is the egg roll here alone? Where's Aunt Cao?"
"Going up..." Li Huaixin pointed to the fence while sniffling, and said intermittently: "Someone came out there—wanted to abduct the egg rolls, and Chu Qi protected the egg rolls, but after mother and Aunt Cao saw it, Chu Qi was fierce and wanted to The egg rolls are waiting below..."
Li Huaicheng raised his brows when he heard the words, looked in the direction Li Huaixin was pointing, and asked, "The egg roll means that someone came from there, and Mom and Aunt Cao took him up, and left the egg roll here alone?"
Li Huaixin nodded, his nose twitched, and he pursed his mouth and said, "Egg Roll doesn't like him."
Li Huaicheng looked up at Li's father and Li's mother's room thoughtfully, then looked away and said, "Stop crying, okay? If you cry again, it won't be pretty anymore. My brother will take you to eat cake, okay?"
"Hurp..."
Li Huaixin hugged Li Huaicheng's neck obediently, and pressed her face wet from crying against his neck, Li Huaicheng shivered from the cold, and when she touched it, she found that her collar was wet, and said with a frown, "Is the egg roll hot? Are you sweating on your back?"
Li Huaixin thought for a while, nodded, then shook his head again: "Cold."
Li Huaicheng touched her cold face, quickly wrapped her in a coat and entered the room. As soon as he arrived at the living room, he saw Li Huaijin and He Xiang hurrying over, seeing Li Huaixin in his arms heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, He Xiang said: "Aunt Cao said the egg roll is in the living room, but we couldn't find it after searching around."
When Li Huaijin approached, he saw Li Huaixin's red eyes from crying, his eyebrows frowned instantly, and asked Li Huaicheng, "Why is she crying?"
Li Huaicheng still didn't know the situation, so he just said vaguely: "It seems that someone frightened her, and her clothes were wet from crying."
"Ask Aunt Cao to change her clothes." Li Huaijin turned to look at He Xiang.
He Xiang nodded, "I know where Aunt Cao is, you guys bring the egg rolls up, and I'll go find Aunt Cao."
Li Huaicheng and Li Huaijin went upstairs together. Seeing Li Huaixin hugging Li Huaicheng's neck with a face of dependence, Li Huaijin was a little relieved and also a little sour. He was so relieved that his brother and sister had such a good relationship. More dependent on each other than his big brother.
Li Huaijin suddenly remembered something, and the brows that were relieved just now frowned again: "Is there a new transfer student in your class these days?"
"Yes, Jiang Siyuan." Li Huaicheng was a little surprised, not knowing why Li Huaijin suddenly asked about this matter.
"You'd better not get too close to him." Li Huaijin pondered for a moment before opening his mouth. He didn't want to interfere with his younger brother's making friends, but he valued his safety more than his younger brother's freedom. "If there are no special circumstances, don't talk to him. He went out together, it's better to have less contact."
Li Huaicheng wondered: "Why?"
"His identity is a bit complicated."
Li Huaijin put one hand on the doorknob of Li Huaixin's room, and touched Li Huaicheng's soft and fluffy hair with the other hand, and said softly, "For your safety, it's best not to have any contact with him."
What identity is so complicated that Li Huaijin is so afraid, and may even threaten his safety?
However, before Li Huaicheng could think about it, the people in Li Huaixin's room attracted all his attention.
Li Huaijin who opened the door was also very surprised. He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in Li Huaixin's room hesitantly, and turned his gaze to Li's mother who was beside him, "Mom, this is... Jiang Huaikang?"
When the door suddenly opened, Li's mother thought it was Aunt Cao who brought Li Huaixin up, but it was Li Huaicheng and Li Huaijin who came up. She quickly glanced at Li Huaicheng's expression, her eyes were flustered, she wanted to keep Jiang Huaikang from appearing for the time being In front of people, she waited for her and Father Li to discuss how to deal with Jiang Huaikang before making a decision. Unexpectedly, in less than ten minutes, the person she most wanted to hide appeared here.
Li Huaicheng was also a little surprised. The Jiang Huaikang in front of him was very different from five months ago. Although Jiang Huaikang was not handsome before, he also looked cute as a teenager because of the baby fat on his face. But now Jiang Huaikang But he was out of shape, his normal skin color has now become sallow, and his skin color and body shape are only external changes. The biggest change is his eyes. Before, even if he pretended to be pitiful, he could not hide the arrogance in his eyes, but now he , in addition to gloom in the eyes is shrinking.
Li Huaicheng had already guessed that Jiang Huaikang's life would not be too easy after returning to Jiang's house. Even if Wang Guihua would care about his flesh and blood at first, but as time went by, he was extremely self-centered. Jiang Huaikang and Jiang Bao would inevitably have disputes. Coupled with Wang Guihua's biased character, the Jiang family will definitely be restless.
It's just that Li Huaicheng didn't expect that Jiang Huaikang would become like this after staying in the Jiang family for less than half a year. What happened in the past six months?
When everyone was surprised, Jiang Huaikang suddenly walked up to Li Huaicheng, knelt down in front of Li Huaicheng with a plop, pulled Li Huaicheng's trouser legs, tears fell down, and cried, "Huaicheng, promise to let me stay, okay, Wang Guihua will Tortured me to death, please... I will not compete with you for the love of my parents, I will not compete with you for anything, I just ask you to let me stay..."
The skinny and skinny young man kneeled in front of the brightly dressed young man with extraordinary temperament. The impact of this scene was so strong that the other three people in the room came back to their senses.
Li Huaijin pulled Li Huaicheng back a step, frowned and said: "It had nothing to do with Huaicheng when you left, and it's useless if you beg him now."
Li Huaixin stretched out her body, waved her fist and said in a milky voice, "You are a bad person, I will beat you, don't touch my brother!"
"Egg roll!" Li's mother's voice was rarely raised, she frowned at Li Huaixin's movements, and said, "Who taught you to hit people with your fists? Don't do this in the future!"
After finishing speaking, Li's mother bent down to help Jiang Huaikang, and said solemnly: "Huaijin is right, it has nothing to do with Huaicheng when you left, and how can you kneel when you say kneeling, there is gold under the man's knees..."
"Mom..." Jiang Huaikang was held by Li's mother's arm, and the warm breath and gentle tone that he hadn't seen for a long time made his nose sore, and he threw himself into Li's mother's arms, thinking of his experience in the past six months, he couldn't help crying: "I miss you so much, I miss you so much..."
Hearing Jiang Huaikang's cry, Li's mother thought of his body that was fatter than his peers when he left half a year ago and his skinny appearance now. Li Huaicheng's skinny appearance and scars all over his body when he just came back came to mind. It suddenly turned red.
"Mom misses you too..." Mother Li patted Jiang Huaikang on the back, and said to Li Huaijin with red eyes, "Go find some clothes for Huaikang, he is too thin."
Li Huaijin frowned, seeing Li Huaicheng's expression that didn't seem to care, his heart tightened, and he said: "Jiang Huaikang came out suddenly, his mother should be very worried about him, should we contact his family, after all..."
"I don't want, I don't want to go back..." Jiang Huaikang trembled, hugged Li's mother tightly, and cried and begged: "I beg your mother, don't give me to Wang Guihua, I'm afraid..."
Listening to Jiang Huaikang's begging, Li's mother's previous hesitation was replaced by heartache. She quickly patted Jiang Huaikang on the back and comforted him: "Don't cry, don't cry, Mom won't leave you to her, be good..."
Looking at this scene, Li Huaicheng realized that there was really no disturbance in his heart. He smiled, handed Li Huaixin in his arms to Li Huaijin, and said, "Mom, let me get the clothes. Jiang Huaikang should be able to wear my clothes, brother." clothes are too big."
Li's mother was slightly startled when she heard the words. At this moment, she suddenly realized that Li Huaicheng was also here. Her lips moved to explain, but Li Huaicheng didn't have the slightest forced smile on her face. Her heart ached, she let go of Jiang Huaikang, and said: "Okay, thank you, Chengcheng."
Li Huaicheng smiled and shook his head, "You're welcome."
Seeing that Li Huaicheng had gone out, Li Huaijin glanced at Li's mother and Jiang Huaikang and chased after Li Huaixin in his arms. He followed Li Huaicheng but didn't know what to say.
Seeing Li Huaikang following behind him step by step, his always calm face rarely showed emotion, entangled and apprehensive was not at all like the usual him, Li Huaicheng couldn't help laughing: "Brother, what's wrong with you."
Li Huaijin glanced at Li Huai's clear eyebrows and the smile on his lips, pursed his lips and said, "If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh."
Hearing this, the smile on Li Huaicheng's face stagnated slightly, and he blinked at him: "But I want to laugh."
"you……"
Facing Li Huaicheng's clear eyes, Li Huaijin suddenly didn't know what to say, but Li Huaixin in his arms stretched out his hand, turned sideways and fell into Li Huaicheng's arms, hugged his neck and said, "Brother hug."
Li Huaicheng took Li Huaixin, and then remembered that Li Huaixin's clothes hadn't been changed yet, and frowned, "Brother, I'll go to the room to get clothes for Jiang Huaikang, and you can go back and bring some clothes for Egg Roll. Her clothes are sweaty inside, so don't change them." May have a cold."
At this time, Li Huaijin remembered the purpose of their going upstairs just now, thinking that he had forgotten that his sister had to change clothes, Li Huaijin blamed himself a little, nodded hastily, and then returned the same way.
Li Huaicheng went back to the room, put Li Huaixin on the bed, touched her back, she was sweaty, helped her take off her clothes and stuffed her into the quilt, let Chu Qi, who had been following them all the time, jump onto the bed and lie beside her, Said: "Good egg roll, Chu Qi is here to accompany you, brother will go get a towel to wipe your face, okay?"
But Egg Roll hugged Li Huaicheng's neck and didn't let go. Seeing that Li Huaicheng was about to leave her behind, the little chubby kicked his legs and stood up following his movement of lifting his neck. He shook his head and said, "I don't want it, I don't want my brother to go."
Even though the heating in the room is sufficient, the child's body is also very fragile. Li Huaicheng quickly pulled up the quilt to cover Li Huaixin, pretending to be angry and said: "The egg rolls will catch a cold like this. Brother will be angry next time."
Li Huaixin was not afraid of him at all, she pouted and said coquettishly, "I don't want my brother to go."
Li Huaicheng really has nothing to do with Li Huaixin. In just half a year, Li Huaixin, who is only three years old, has firmly grasped Li Huaicheng's weakness. There is nothing that can't be solved by acting like a baby.
"Brother won't leave." Li Huaicheng sighed, and Zhou Ziyou said that his younger sister was not exaggerating.
Li Huaixin just laughed, his dark eyes were extremely bright, and he said with an inch: "The egg roll doesn't want to go down, and I don't want to play with those children, the egg roll just wants to play with my brother, and I want to eat cake!"
"No, today is Egg Roll's birthday. The children below are all here to celebrate Egg Roll's birthday. Egg Roll, as the little master, should take care of everyone and play with everyone."
"I don't like other children!" Li Huaixin said with a puffy face.
Li Huaijin pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "It's okay if you don't like it."
After speaking, he picked up the clothes and put them on for Li Huaixin. Li Huaixin looked at Li Huaicheng and wanted Li Huaicheng to speak for her. Li Huaicheng rubbed her head and said with a smile: "It's useless to look at me, you have to go."
On this point, Li Huaicheng is very firm, probably because she has been staying at home and her family dotes on her very much, Li Huaixin does not like to contact other peers very much.
Every time other people of the same age came to Li's house, Li Huaixin was very upset, especially when seeing him or Li Huaijin talking to other children, she would pouted her mouth high, and sometimes she would push other children away and shout loudly. After declaring sovereignty, Li's family all agreed that it was absolutely impossible to continue like this, and Li Huaixin was about to enter kindergarten. If she kept refusing to contact other children, it would be difficult to get along with others in kindergarten.
Li Huaixin knew that it was useless to act like a baby, so she could only let Li Huaijin dress her with her mouth pursed. Aunt Cao walked in when she was half dressed, dressed Li Huaixin neatly and took her down.
Seeing the door closed, Li Huaijin hesitated for a moment and then said: "Jiang Huaikang's matter, you..."
"If mother wants him to stay, let him stay." Li Huaicheng interrupted Li Huaijin, and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm not angry, you don't have to be so careful."
Li Huaijin fell silent after hearing the words, and said after a while, "Why aren't you angry?"
Seeing Li Huaicheng looking at him puzzled, Li Huaijin stared into his eyes and asked, "You should be angry, and you have the right to be angry, why aren't you angry?"
Li Huaicheng blinked, he didn't know why Li Huaijin asked him that, and he didn't know whether Li Huaijin's frown at this time meant anger or something else.
"Should I... be angry?" Li Huaicheng hesitated.
Li Huaijin stared at him closely, and suddenly lowered his head as if discouraged, "If you think you shouldn't, then you shouldn't."
Li Huaicheng pursed his lips and said softly: "Brother, I know you feel wronged for me, but in fact, neither I nor Jiang Huaikang were innocent of what happened back then. He has lived with you for so many years, whether it is mother or you And Dad, there's no reason why you have feelings for him, it's normal for him to have feelings for you, and I won't be mad at you for that."
Li Huaijin raised his head, sighed softly, and said softly: "No matter what, I only have you as my own brother."
Li Huaicheng smiled and said, "I know, thank you, brother."
When the birthday party officially started in the evening, all five members of Li's family were present, all with smiles on their faces, as if they all ignored the fact that there was Jiang Huaikang in this house.
After singing the birthday song together and blowing out the candles, relatives and friends gave birthday gifts one by one, and then let the children play together. Li Huaixin was forced to stay among a group of children in the afternoon. Now it seems that he has made good friends and is having a good time.
Li Huaicheng was talking to Father Li, when she saw a woman with a gentle temperament approaching, she greeted Father Li with a smile, her eyes fell on Li Huaicheng, and said softly: "You are Chengcheng, right? Nice to meet you .”
Father Li introduced: "This is Aunt Fang Rui. She is a good friend who grew up with her parents. She has been living abroad. She just came back these few days. You can just call her Auntie."
Li Huaicheng smiled when he heard the words: "Auntie."
Fang Rui nodded, looked at his slightly red eyes, then looked away, and smiled at Father Li: "Chengcheng is so pretty, he looks very similar to you when you were young."
Father Li laughed, put his arms around Li Huaicheng's shoulders and said, "Of course, Si'an said that both Huaijin and Huaicheng were carved out of the same mold as me."
Fang Rui laughed when she heard the words, "But I think Xinxin is the cutest, most like Si'an."
"Yes, as cute and beautiful as she was when she was a child." Father Li nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"I really envy her for giving birth to such a beautiful daughter." Fang Rui sighed, "If only I could have such a beautiful daughter, it would be great if I have a son, too naughty."
Father Li shook his head and said, "If your vision wasn't so high, you wouldn't have had a child long ago."
Fang Rui curled her lips and rolled her eyes. Her skin was smooth and translucent, and she had no signs of aging at all with her delicate expression. She said, "I want to pursue true love. If there is no true love, I would rather just be single for the rest of my life. I can't be with you." It’s better to be alone with people you like.”
"Anyway, I can't say enough about you." Father Li smiled and changed the subject, "You just came back today, did you go to see Uncle Fang, he misses you very much."
"I came back two days ago to deal with some personal matters. I had a meal with my dad yesterday. When he saw me, he asked me when I was getting married. I really don't want to stay with him for too long."
"You..." Father Li sighed, "You are so old, you are still like a child."
"Don't always talk about me." Seeing that Li's father seemed to be preaching, Fang Rui hurried to Li Huaicheng's side, put his arm around his shoulder and said, "My aunt also brought you a gift when she came back this time, I'll take you to see it, see Do you like it or not."
Li Huaicheng is not used to being touched by strangers, but seeing that Li's father is obviously happy to see them getting close, he can only raise the corners of his mouth and nod: "Okay, thank you, auntie."
"You're welcome." Fang Rui smiled and waved to Father Li, and then walked into the room with Li Huaicheng in his arms.
"This is a gift for you." Fang Rui took out a simple box and said with a smile, "My aunt specially carved it for you after she found out that you were found. I hope you will like it."
"I like it very much." Li Huaicheng accepted it with a smile.
"You said you liked it without even watching it." Fang Rui sighed, "Don't learn from your father and brother. If you don't know how to have fun like them, how pitiful Si'an is."
Li Huaicheng opened the box, and inside was a round jade pendant with a galloping horse embossed on it, which was lifelike and vivid.
"Thank you, auntie." Li Huaicheng closed the box and said with a smile, "I really like it."
Fang Rui laughed and said, "Your brother and your sister both have a piece of jade. I hope this piece of jade can protect you from growing up safely."
"Thank you, auntie, for your blessing." Li Huaicheng put away the jade pendant, and thanked obediently.
"You don't have to be so polite with my aunt." Fang Rui touched Li Huaicheng's head, and said with a smile, "You go and play by yourself, and my aunt goes to talk to your mother."
Putting the jade pendant back into the room, touching Chu Qi who was obediently sleeping on the carpet, Li Huaicheng went downstairs, and just as he was about to go to the garden, he saw Li Huaixin sneaking over and threw himself into his arms.
"Brother, brother, what about cakes that are only for egg rolls?"
Only then did Li Huaicheng remember that he had spent the morning and wasted countless materials to make a cake for Li Huaixin and it was still in the refrigerator. He picked Li Huaixin up and said with a smile, "Brother, I will take you to eat it."
However, when he opened the refrigerator, he found that the cake inside had disappeared...
The preparations for Li Huaixin's birthday party were very simple. Both Li's father and Li's mother thought that she was too young, and it would be bad to hold her birthday too grandly, so they just invited some close friends to hold a small celebration party at home .
Around [-] o'clock in the afternoon, guests have already come to Li's house one after another. The small garden is full of pink balloons and princess-style tables and chairs. The small table is full of exquisite cakes and candies, and there are princesses in animation People in costumes stood in the middle of the garden playing with a few children.
Li Huaicheng didn't see Li Huaixin in the garden, and turned around to find Li Huaixin sitting alone on the steps of the backyard, kicking around with her chubby legs pouted and hanging, and Chu Qi lying beside her legs, very well-behaved.
Li Huaicheng laughed, stepped forward and hugged Li Huaixin, patted the dust on her white socks, and asked, "Why are you here? Where's Aunt Cao?"
Li Huaixin looked up and saw that it was Li Huaicheng, tears slid down his cheeks as soon as his mouth shrunk, looking extremely aggrieved.
"What's wrong?" Li Huaicheng patted her on the back, saw her red nose from crying, and said softly, "Why are the egg rolls crying?"
Hearing Li Huaicheng's voice, Li Huaixin, who had been sobbing silently, hugged his neck tightly and cried out loudly. His white and tender face was flushed from crying, and tears were hanging on his long curly eyelashes, which was very pitiful.
Li Huaicheng just wanted to ask why Li Huaixin was here alone and where Auntie Cao went, but her words were broken up by her crying, and he hugged her at a loss as he walked and talked to distract her: " Shall we go have some snacks? My brother helped the egg rolls make cakes, and the egg rolls want to go and have a look?"
Li Huaixin paused for a moment, blinked his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded but was not happy, tears still falling down.
"Hey, stop crying, your nose is red."
Li Huaicheng coaxed Li Huaixin softly, and searched for Aunt Cao's figure. The guests were all in the small garden, and no one came here. How could Aunt Cao let Li Huaixin sit here alone.
Seeing that Li Huaixin was much calmer, Li Huaicheng asked, "Why is the egg roll here alone? Where's Aunt Cao?"
"Going up..." Li Huaixin pointed to the fence while sniffling, and said intermittently: "Someone came out there—wanted to abduct the egg rolls, and Chu Qi protected the egg rolls, but after mother and Aunt Cao saw it, Chu Qi was fierce and wanted to The egg rolls are waiting below..."
Li Huaicheng raised his brows when he heard the words, looked in the direction Li Huaixin was pointing, and asked, "The egg roll means that someone came from there, and Mom and Aunt Cao took him up, and left the egg roll here alone?"
Li Huaixin nodded, his nose twitched, and he pursed his mouth and said, "Egg Roll doesn't like him."
Li Huaicheng looked up at Li's father and Li's mother's room thoughtfully, then looked away and said, "Stop crying, okay? If you cry again, it won't be pretty anymore. My brother will take you to eat cake, okay?"
"Hurp..."
Li Huaixin hugged Li Huaicheng's neck obediently, and pressed her face wet from crying against his neck, Li Huaicheng shivered from the cold, and when she touched it, she found that her collar was wet, and said with a frown, "Is the egg roll hot? Are you sweating on your back?"
Li Huaixin thought for a while, nodded, then shook his head again: "Cold."
Li Huaicheng touched her cold face, quickly wrapped her in a coat and entered the room. As soon as he arrived at the living room, he saw Li Huaijin and He Xiang hurrying over, seeing Li Huaixin in his arms heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, He Xiang said: "Aunt Cao said the egg roll is in the living room, but we couldn't find it after searching around."
When Li Huaijin approached, he saw Li Huaixin's red eyes from crying, his eyebrows frowned instantly, and asked Li Huaicheng, "Why is she crying?"
Li Huaicheng still didn't know the situation, so he just said vaguely: "It seems that someone frightened her, and her clothes were wet from crying."
"Ask Aunt Cao to change her clothes." Li Huaijin turned to look at He Xiang.
He Xiang nodded, "I know where Aunt Cao is, you guys bring the egg rolls up, and I'll go find Aunt Cao."
Li Huaicheng and Li Huaijin went upstairs together. Seeing Li Huaixin hugging Li Huaicheng's neck with a face of dependence, Li Huaijin was a little relieved and also a little sour. He was so relieved that his brother and sister had such a good relationship. More dependent on each other than his big brother.
Li Huaijin suddenly remembered something, and the brows that were relieved just now frowned again: "Is there a new transfer student in your class these days?"
"Yes, Jiang Siyuan." Li Huaicheng was a little surprised, not knowing why Li Huaijin suddenly asked about this matter.
"You'd better not get too close to him." Li Huaijin pondered for a moment before opening his mouth. He didn't want to interfere with his younger brother's making friends, but he valued his safety more than his younger brother's freedom. "If there are no special circumstances, don't talk to him. He went out together, it's better to have less contact."
Li Huaicheng wondered: "Why?"
"His identity is a bit complicated."
Li Huaijin put one hand on the doorknob of Li Huaixin's room, and touched Li Huaicheng's soft and fluffy hair with the other hand, and said softly, "For your safety, it's best not to have any contact with him."
What identity is so complicated that Li Huaijin is so afraid, and may even threaten his safety?
However, before Li Huaicheng could think about it, the people in Li Huaixin's room attracted all his attention.
Li Huaijin who opened the door was also very surprised. He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in Li Huaixin's room hesitantly, and turned his gaze to Li's mother who was beside him, "Mom, this is... Jiang Huaikang?"
When the door suddenly opened, Li's mother thought it was Aunt Cao who brought Li Huaixin up, but it was Li Huaicheng and Li Huaijin who came up. She quickly glanced at Li Huaicheng's expression, her eyes were flustered, she wanted to keep Jiang Huaikang from appearing for the time being In front of people, she waited for her and Father Li to discuss how to deal with Jiang Huaikang before making a decision. Unexpectedly, in less than ten minutes, the person she most wanted to hide appeared here.
Li Huaicheng was also a little surprised. The Jiang Huaikang in front of him was very different from five months ago. Although Jiang Huaikang was not handsome before, he also looked cute as a teenager because of the baby fat on his face. But now Jiang Huaikang But he was out of shape, his normal skin color has now become sallow, and his skin color and body shape are only external changes. The biggest change is his eyes. Before, even if he pretended to be pitiful, he could not hide the arrogance in his eyes, but now he , in addition to gloom in the eyes is shrinking.
Li Huaicheng had already guessed that Jiang Huaikang's life would not be too easy after returning to Jiang's house. Even if Wang Guihua would care about his flesh and blood at first, but as time went by, he was extremely self-centered. Jiang Huaikang and Jiang Bao would inevitably have disputes. Coupled with Wang Guihua's biased character, the Jiang family will definitely be restless.
It's just that Li Huaicheng didn't expect that Jiang Huaikang would become like this after staying in the Jiang family for less than half a year. What happened in the past six months?
When everyone was surprised, Jiang Huaikang suddenly walked up to Li Huaicheng, knelt down in front of Li Huaicheng with a plop, pulled Li Huaicheng's trouser legs, tears fell down, and cried, "Huaicheng, promise to let me stay, okay, Wang Guihua will Tortured me to death, please... I will not compete with you for the love of my parents, I will not compete with you for anything, I just ask you to let me stay..."
The skinny and skinny young man kneeled in front of the brightly dressed young man with extraordinary temperament. The impact of this scene was so strong that the other three people in the room came back to their senses.
Li Huaijin pulled Li Huaicheng back a step, frowned and said: "It had nothing to do with Huaicheng when you left, and it's useless if you beg him now."
Li Huaixin stretched out her body, waved her fist and said in a milky voice, "You are a bad person, I will beat you, don't touch my brother!"
"Egg roll!" Li's mother's voice was rarely raised, she frowned at Li Huaixin's movements, and said, "Who taught you to hit people with your fists? Don't do this in the future!"
After finishing speaking, Li's mother bent down to help Jiang Huaikang, and said solemnly: "Huaijin is right, it has nothing to do with Huaicheng when you left, and how can you kneel when you say kneeling, there is gold under the man's knees..."
"Mom..." Jiang Huaikang was held by Li's mother's arm, and the warm breath and gentle tone that he hadn't seen for a long time made his nose sore, and he threw himself into Li's mother's arms, thinking of his experience in the past six months, he couldn't help crying: "I miss you so much, I miss you so much..."
Hearing Jiang Huaikang's cry, Li's mother thought of his body that was fatter than his peers when he left half a year ago and his skinny appearance now. Li Huaicheng's skinny appearance and scars all over his body when he just came back came to mind. It suddenly turned red.
"Mom misses you too..." Mother Li patted Jiang Huaikang on the back, and said to Li Huaijin with red eyes, "Go find some clothes for Huaikang, he is too thin."
Li Huaijin frowned, seeing Li Huaicheng's expression that didn't seem to care, his heart tightened, and he said: "Jiang Huaikang came out suddenly, his mother should be very worried about him, should we contact his family, after all..."
"I don't want, I don't want to go back..." Jiang Huaikang trembled, hugged Li's mother tightly, and cried and begged: "I beg your mother, don't give me to Wang Guihua, I'm afraid..."
Listening to Jiang Huaikang's begging, Li's mother's previous hesitation was replaced by heartache. She quickly patted Jiang Huaikang on the back and comforted him: "Don't cry, don't cry, Mom won't leave you to her, be good..."
Looking at this scene, Li Huaicheng realized that there was really no disturbance in his heart. He smiled, handed Li Huaixin in his arms to Li Huaijin, and said, "Mom, let me get the clothes. Jiang Huaikang should be able to wear my clothes, brother." clothes are too big."
Li's mother was slightly startled when she heard the words. At this moment, she suddenly realized that Li Huaicheng was also here. Her lips moved to explain, but Li Huaicheng didn't have the slightest forced smile on her face. Her heart ached, she let go of Jiang Huaikang, and said: "Okay, thank you, Chengcheng."
Li Huaicheng smiled and shook his head, "You're welcome."
Seeing that Li Huaicheng had gone out, Li Huaijin glanced at Li's mother and Jiang Huaikang and chased after Li Huaixin in his arms. He followed Li Huaicheng but didn't know what to say.
Seeing Li Huaikang following behind him step by step, his always calm face rarely showed emotion, entangled and apprehensive was not at all like the usual him, Li Huaicheng couldn't help laughing: "Brother, what's wrong with you."
Li Huaijin glanced at Li Huai's clear eyebrows and the smile on his lips, pursed his lips and said, "If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh."
Hearing this, the smile on Li Huaicheng's face stagnated slightly, and he blinked at him: "But I want to laugh."
"you……"
Facing Li Huaicheng's clear eyes, Li Huaijin suddenly didn't know what to say, but Li Huaixin in his arms stretched out his hand, turned sideways and fell into Li Huaicheng's arms, hugged his neck and said, "Brother hug."
Li Huaicheng took Li Huaixin, and then remembered that Li Huaixin's clothes hadn't been changed yet, and frowned, "Brother, I'll go to the room to get clothes for Jiang Huaikang, and you can go back and bring some clothes for Egg Roll. Her clothes are sweaty inside, so don't change them." May have a cold."
At this time, Li Huaijin remembered the purpose of their going upstairs just now, thinking that he had forgotten that his sister had to change clothes, Li Huaijin blamed himself a little, nodded hastily, and then returned the same way.
Li Huaicheng went back to the room, put Li Huaixin on the bed, touched her back, she was sweaty, helped her take off her clothes and stuffed her into the quilt, let Chu Qi, who had been following them all the time, jump onto the bed and lie beside her, Said: "Good egg roll, Chu Qi is here to accompany you, brother will go get a towel to wipe your face, okay?"
But Egg Roll hugged Li Huaicheng's neck and didn't let go. Seeing that Li Huaicheng was about to leave her behind, the little chubby kicked his legs and stood up following his movement of lifting his neck. He shook his head and said, "I don't want it, I don't want my brother to go."
Even though the heating in the room is sufficient, the child's body is also very fragile. Li Huaicheng quickly pulled up the quilt to cover Li Huaixin, pretending to be angry and said: "The egg rolls will catch a cold like this. Brother will be angry next time."
Li Huaixin was not afraid of him at all, she pouted and said coquettishly, "I don't want my brother to go."
Li Huaicheng really has nothing to do with Li Huaixin. In just half a year, Li Huaixin, who is only three years old, has firmly grasped Li Huaicheng's weakness. There is nothing that can't be solved by acting like a baby.
"Brother won't leave." Li Huaicheng sighed, and Zhou Ziyou said that his younger sister was not exaggerating.
Li Huaixin just laughed, his dark eyes were extremely bright, and he said with an inch: "The egg roll doesn't want to go down, and I don't want to play with those children, the egg roll just wants to play with my brother, and I want to eat cake!"
"No, today is Egg Roll's birthday. The children below are all here to celebrate Egg Roll's birthday. Egg Roll, as the little master, should take care of everyone and play with everyone."
"I don't like other children!" Li Huaixin said with a puffy face.
Li Huaijin pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "It's okay if you don't like it."
After speaking, he picked up the clothes and put them on for Li Huaixin. Li Huaixin looked at Li Huaicheng and wanted Li Huaicheng to speak for her. Li Huaicheng rubbed her head and said with a smile: "It's useless to look at me, you have to go."
On this point, Li Huaicheng is very firm, probably because she has been staying at home and her family dotes on her very much, Li Huaixin does not like to contact other peers very much.
Every time other people of the same age came to Li's house, Li Huaixin was very upset, especially when seeing him or Li Huaijin talking to other children, she would pouted her mouth high, and sometimes she would push other children away and shout loudly. After declaring sovereignty, Li's family all agreed that it was absolutely impossible to continue like this, and Li Huaixin was about to enter kindergarten. If she kept refusing to contact other children, it would be difficult to get along with others in kindergarten.
Li Huaixin knew that it was useless to act like a baby, so she could only let Li Huaijin dress her with her mouth pursed. Aunt Cao walked in when she was half dressed, dressed Li Huaixin neatly and took her down.
Seeing the door closed, Li Huaijin hesitated for a moment and then said: "Jiang Huaikang's matter, you..."
"If mother wants him to stay, let him stay." Li Huaicheng interrupted Li Huaijin, and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm not angry, you don't have to be so careful."
Li Huaijin fell silent after hearing the words, and said after a while, "Why aren't you angry?"
Seeing Li Huaicheng looking at him puzzled, Li Huaijin stared into his eyes and asked, "You should be angry, and you have the right to be angry, why aren't you angry?"
Li Huaicheng blinked, he didn't know why Li Huaijin asked him that, and he didn't know whether Li Huaijin's frown at this time meant anger or something else.
"Should I... be angry?" Li Huaicheng hesitated.
Li Huaijin stared at him closely, and suddenly lowered his head as if discouraged, "If you think you shouldn't, then you shouldn't."
Li Huaicheng pursed his lips and said softly: "Brother, I know you feel wronged for me, but in fact, neither I nor Jiang Huaikang were innocent of what happened back then. He has lived with you for so many years, whether it is mother or you And Dad, there's no reason why you have feelings for him, it's normal for him to have feelings for you, and I won't be mad at you for that."
Li Huaijin raised his head, sighed softly, and said softly: "No matter what, I only have you as my own brother."
Li Huaicheng smiled and said, "I know, thank you, brother."
When the birthday party officially started in the evening, all five members of Li's family were present, all with smiles on their faces, as if they all ignored the fact that there was Jiang Huaikang in this house.
After singing the birthday song together and blowing out the candles, relatives and friends gave birthday gifts one by one, and then let the children play together. Li Huaixin was forced to stay among a group of children in the afternoon. Now it seems that he has made good friends and is having a good time.
Li Huaicheng was talking to Father Li, when she saw a woman with a gentle temperament approaching, she greeted Father Li with a smile, her eyes fell on Li Huaicheng, and said softly: "You are Chengcheng, right? Nice to meet you .”
Father Li introduced: "This is Aunt Fang Rui. She is a good friend who grew up with her parents. She has been living abroad. She just came back these few days. You can just call her Auntie."
Li Huaicheng smiled when he heard the words: "Auntie."
Fang Rui nodded, looked at his slightly red eyes, then looked away, and smiled at Father Li: "Chengcheng is so pretty, he looks very similar to you when you were young."
Father Li laughed, put his arms around Li Huaicheng's shoulders and said, "Of course, Si'an said that both Huaijin and Huaicheng were carved out of the same mold as me."
Fang Rui laughed when she heard the words, "But I think Xinxin is the cutest, most like Si'an."
"Yes, as cute and beautiful as she was when she was a child." Father Li nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"I really envy her for giving birth to such a beautiful daughter." Fang Rui sighed, "If only I could have such a beautiful daughter, it would be great if I have a son, too naughty."
Father Li shook his head and said, "If your vision wasn't so high, you wouldn't have had a child long ago."
Fang Rui curled her lips and rolled her eyes. Her skin was smooth and translucent, and she had no signs of aging at all with her delicate expression. She said, "I want to pursue true love. If there is no true love, I would rather just be single for the rest of my life. I can't be with you." It’s better to be alone with people you like.”
"Anyway, I can't say enough about you." Father Li smiled and changed the subject, "You just came back today, did you go to see Uncle Fang, he misses you very much."
"I came back two days ago to deal with some personal matters. I had a meal with my dad yesterday. When he saw me, he asked me when I was getting married. I really don't want to stay with him for too long."
"You..." Father Li sighed, "You are so old, you are still like a child."
"Don't always talk about me." Seeing that Li's father seemed to be preaching, Fang Rui hurried to Li Huaicheng's side, put his arm around his shoulder and said, "My aunt also brought you a gift when she came back this time, I'll take you to see it, see Do you like it or not."
Li Huaicheng is not used to being touched by strangers, but seeing that Li's father is obviously happy to see them getting close, he can only raise the corners of his mouth and nod: "Okay, thank you, auntie."
"You're welcome." Fang Rui smiled and waved to Father Li, and then walked into the room with Li Huaicheng in his arms.
"This is a gift for you." Fang Rui took out a simple box and said with a smile, "My aunt specially carved it for you after she found out that you were found. I hope you will like it."
"I like it very much." Li Huaicheng accepted it with a smile.
"You said you liked it without even watching it." Fang Rui sighed, "Don't learn from your father and brother. If you don't know how to have fun like them, how pitiful Si'an is."
Li Huaicheng opened the box, and inside was a round jade pendant with a galloping horse embossed on it, which was lifelike and vivid.
"Thank you, auntie." Li Huaicheng closed the box and said with a smile, "I really like it."
Fang Rui laughed and said, "Your brother and your sister both have a piece of jade. I hope this piece of jade can protect you from growing up safely."
"Thank you, auntie, for your blessing." Li Huaicheng put away the jade pendant, and thanked obediently.
"You don't have to be so polite with my aunt." Fang Rui touched Li Huaicheng's head, and said with a smile, "You go and play by yourself, and my aunt goes to talk to your mother."
Putting the jade pendant back into the room, touching Chu Qi who was obediently sleeping on the carpet, Li Huaicheng went downstairs, and just as he was about to go to the garden, he saw Li Huaixin sneaking over and threw himself into his arms.
"Brother, brother, what about cakes that are only for egg rolls?"
Only then did Li Huaicheng remember that he had spent the morning and wasted countless materials to make a cake for Li Huaixin and it was still in the refrigerator. He picked Li Huaixin up and said with a smile, "Brother, I will take you to eat it."
However, when he opened the refrigerator, he found that the cake inside had disappeared...
