dear little fool

"Xiao Xu."

Shi Xu poked his head out of the room, looked at the young man outside the door, nodded, and called softly: "What's wrong, brother?"

"This, this, this." Shi Jiu took out two lollipops from his pocket, "Here you are."

"Mom won't let me eat it." Shi Xu looked at the lollipop in his hand, and withdrew his outstretched hand.

"It's okay, Auntie doesn't know." Shi Jiu whispered, then grabbed his hand and stuffed the lollipop into his hand, "You eat it secretly, this one is very sweet."

Shi Xu grasped the candy he gave, then nodded.

"Thank you brother."

"When can Xiaoxu come out to play with me?" Shi Jiu looked at him pitifully and asked.

Shi Xu didn't speak, his class hasn't started yet, wait for the teacher to come.

His mother has arranged for him a lot of private tutoring, basically there are teachers for everything from school subjects to hobbies, and unlike his older brother, he can run around.

"Sorry, maybe not." Shi Xu said softly, "Go back first, I still have homework."

Shi Jiu nodded obediently, and then said, "Then I'll come see you tomorrow."

Shi Xu nodded, and the villain at the door left. He sat quietly in his seat, looked at the candy in his hand, and held it tightly.

Sometimes I really envy my elder brother, who can grow up peacefully without worrying about anything, unlike him, who has to face all kinds of pressure since he was a child.

The teacher is here. Today's math class is about to start. He listened quietly to the formulas that the teacher said, and felt a little pain in his head.

"Shi Xu, are you listening?" the teacher asked sharply.

"I'm listening." Shi Xu replied perfunctorily, he wanted to have a good sleep, he had been very tired in the past few days.

"Then go on, about the value of sin...."

I don't know when the class ended, he closed his eyes, sighed a long time in his place, suddenly very irritable, would it be better if he wasn't born in this kind of family?

"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door, and he took a look. The person who came was his mother.

"Mom, why are you here?" Shi Xu looked at his mother, he didn't know why he was a little scared, subconsciously stood up, and wanted to escape.

"Let's see how you are doing in class." Zhao Lingxue looked at him and said softly, "Math is already in high school, right?"

Shi Xu nodded, and Zhao Lingxue flipped through the math books on his desk, and finally shifted her gaze to Tang, stared at it for a long time and asked, "Who gave you the candy?"

Without a word, the air suddenly froze, Shi Xu lowered his head and did not answer.

"It's Shi Jiu! Only he will give you such useless things!" Zhao Lingxue suddenly became angry, stretched out her hand, and threw the candy directly into the trash can, "How many times have I told you!? Don't have anything to do with him, you and him are enemies, he will be your stumbling block in the future, you want to trample him to death, understand?!"

Shi Xu has heard such words countless times, but he has never disliked Shi Jiu. In this family, only Shi Jiu cares about how he is doing, and the others only care about how he is learning. , he doesn't like anyone except Shi Jiu.

"I don't think Shi Jiu will become my enemy." Shi Xu said subconsciously.

"Ah!?" Zhao Lingxue looked at him suspiciously, then approached him, "What are you talking about?"

"I... didn't say anything." He defended in a low voice, and then suddenly felt a hot pain spreading from his left face.

"Also learned to lie, who do you think you are!?" Zhao Lingxue said with a sneer, "You are the second young master of the Shi family, even if Shi Jiu is a fool, he is still the eldest young master, the inheritance will be given to him, not to you, you If you don’t work hard, what will we mother and son do when the time comes!?”

Shi Xu didn't say a word, how could a ten-year-old child understand these things, he just covered his face and looked at his mother stubbornly, those black eyes kept staring at Zhao Lingxue, making Zhao Lingxue's heart shudder, I didn't say a word for a long time.

"What are you looking at me for, isn't that right?" Zhao Lingxue asked him fiercely, "Don't look at me like that!"

Shi Xu didn't listen to her, but still looked at her.

Zhao Lingxue finally couldn't hold back, stretched out her hand and grabbed his neck and said, "Don't look at me with such eyes, it will remind me of that man."

"Woo..." Shi Xu panted, and wanted to grab Zhao Lingxue's hand, but he couldn't use his strength, he couldn't keep up with his breathing, was he going to die?

"You bastard!" Zhao Lingxue cried, and her hands became more and more forceful, "It would be great if I hadn't been born, if you hadn't..."

"Mom..." Shi Xu cried out with difficulty, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, he was about to die.

Zhao Lingxue's hands became stronger and stronger, and she cried, "I'm not your mother, I'm not—"

"Let go of Xiao Xu!"

Zhao Lingxue was taken aback by the immature voice, and subconsciously let go of her hands. Shi Xu fell directly to the ground, coughing desperately, tears were choked out, her face was flushed red, and she didn't react for a long time.

Shi Jiu immediately ran up to protect Shi Xu and said, "Don't... touch Xiao Xu..."

Shi Xu looked at the young man in front of him in a daze. At that time, Shi Xu was actually trembling, and he was also afraid, but he still stood in front of him.

Zhao Lingxue looked at him, hesitated to speak, and finally turned and left.

The huge room suddenly became quiet like this. Shi Jiu helped Shi Xu on the ground, but he didn't know what to do, so he planned to call Aunt Nong and the others to help.

"I'm fine——" Shi Xu grabbed Shi Jiu who was about to leave, "It's good that brother stays with me..."

Her voice had already started to be hoarse, pleading, so afraid that this person would leave her too.

"I...I'm going to find Aunt Nong, I don't know what to do." Shi Jiu replied crying, "It hurts...do you want to go to the hospital?"

"It's okay." Shi Xu stretched out his hand and wiped his tears, "Just take it easy..."

The voice of speaking was already breathless, and he was a little speechless, and almost left this world in one breath.

Shi Xu slowly closed his eyes, he was so tired, it would be fine if he slept for a while.

"What happened to Xiao Xu?"

Shi Xu opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him, suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Why are you still crying?" Shen Ruoqing looked at the tears in the corners of his eyes and wiped them away, feeling extremely distressed.

"I had a nightmare." Shi Xu said softly.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here." Shen Ruoqing hugged him and said, "I'll be here from now on, don't be afraid."

Shi Xu smiled softly, rubbed into his arms, hugged him, and said softly, "En."
