Capítulo 1571: Chapter 1576: After This Farewell, He Will No Longer Be The Same 2
Ye Yingsu looked at him, and for some reason, a surge of anger welled up in her heart. She walked over and confronted him, saying aloud, “Lan Liehuo, lift your head up.”
Lan Liehuo immediately did as instructed, looking at her with eyes as wide as a startled deer’s.
“No matter what happens, don’t look down again. Keep your head high and move forward, got it!” Ye Yingsu’s eyes were rimmed with red.
Lan Liehuo didn’t understand; with the mental capacity of a mere child, how could he? But he didn’t want Shushu to be upset, so he nodded hastily.
“Shushu, why do we need to pack my new clothes in the box?” Lan Liehuo asked cautiously.
“It’s nothing, just to save space.”
She had forgotten to put away the box.
“…”
Lan Liehuo glanced back at the box uneasily, not uttering another word. But for the rest of the day, he was on edge.
He wasn’t sure why, but he had an intense feeling of insecurity.
That night, Ye Yingsu ordered takeout, all of Lan Liehuo’s favorite dishes.
Lan Liehuo obediently finished his food, cleaned himself up and went to bed.
Unable to sleep, Ye Yingsu decided to make a call to Beiming Han.
As soon as Beiming Han picked up the phone, he heard Ye Yingsu’s anxious questions, “Are the people you arranged reliable? Will they really be good to Lan Liehuo? He loves meat, will they really make it for him every meal? He doesn’t understand anything, will they be patient with him? Will they bully him, will they be mean to him? How’s the weather there? I only packed him a few cotton sweaters, I…”
“Ye Yingsu, enough! Lan Liehuo isn’t a child anymore! He doesn’t need you worrying over him like this!” Beiming Han replied seriously.
“But he is, he’s just a child! You need to care for him like one, promise me! Those people will be kind to him!” Ye Yingsu was suddenly panicked.
“…”
“You have to promise me.” Ye Yingsu’s tears suddenly started to flow.
“Alright, I promise you,” a helpless Beiming Han replied.
…
In the room.
Leaning against the door, Lan Liehuo was already in tears. His body gradually slid down to a sitting position, he was crying uncontrollably.
Shushu doesn’t want him anymore…
He didn’t know what he had done wrong. Was it too late to change? Please don’t leave him, please don’t…
The next day.
The two quietly ate breakfast across the dining table.
Ye Yingsu lifted her head and said, “Xiao Huo, I have something to do today.”
“Shushu, could you send me away?” Lan Liehuo suddenly looked up and asked.
Ye Yingsu froze on the spot, staring at him, her breath hitching.
“Did I do something wrong?” Lan Liehuo stared back at her, his expression revealing a pain he couldn’t hide.
Ye Yingsu’s lips turned a ghostly white as she shook her head, “No, Xiao Huo didn’t do anything wrong, Xiao Huo has been very good.”
“Then… can I stay?” Lan Liehuo cautiously looked at her, a glimmer of hope stirring in his heart.
Ye Yingsu shook her head, tears rolling down her cheeks. No, she couldn’t let him stay here any longer. This time he had been lucky. The bullet hadn’t hit a vital part, but such attempts on his life would only become more frequent in the future.
“Then… you…” Lan Liehuo was suddenly anxious, his tears streaming down his face. Choking on his words, he asked, “When will you come to pick me up?”
When will you come to pick me up?
When will you come to pick me up?
Ye Yingsu could no longer hold back her tears, they fell like rain. She covered her lips with her hand, gasping for air.
