You are like the warm sun

Chapter 200 Neighborhood Kid 1
"This park is very beautiful." This was the first sentence she said.

Like aimless chat.

Tang Wan sat down opposite her, took a look at the environment, and smiled slightly: "Well, it is indeed very beautiful."

"Have you broken up with him?"

"No," Tang Wan said calmly, "If we had broken up, you wouldn't have asked me out today."

Xu Xiaoqin curled her lips slightly and murmured in a self-deprecating tone: "Yeah..."

She stared at the children's slide ahead, her vision unfocused. After a moment of silent contemplation, she tucked the loose hair behind her ear, her gentle voice carried by the hot summer breeze to Tang Wan's ears.

"Our family and the Shao family have been neighbors since first grade."

"They moved in later. At first, I really liked the new neighbors next door, especially the little boy who was my age. He was the most handsome kid I had ever seen..."

Tang Wan listened quietly to her talk about the past without interrupting.

The first time Xu Xiaoqin saw Shao Zhouci was through the glass window of the room on the second floor.

Downstairs, a cute little boy stood obediently beside the moving truck, holding a small red package. He was quiet, neither noisy nor noisy. As if sensing her gaze, he looked up in her direction.

At that time, Xu Xiaoqin saw his handsome face clearly and also found a Band-Aid on his forehead.

She was stunned for a moment, then waved at him in a friendly manner.

His face was expressionless.

At that time, Xu Xiaoqin thought that this little brother was so cool.

When Xu's mother was greeting the uncle and aunt who had just moved in next door, she quietly walked behind her mother, leaned on the door frame and looked at the family curiously.

Auntie is very beautiful.

Uncle is also very handsome.

They spoke in a friendly manner. At least that was what she had naively believed at the time, but she later learned that appearances can be deceiving.

Xu Xiaoqin lowered her head and recalled, "That man often beat Aunt Shao, and occasionally he would beat Shao Zhouci to vent his anger..."

The violent sounds of beatings next door often made her, an outsider, shudder.

At first, her parents tried to persuade her several times, but were kicked out by the domestic violence man with the words "meddling in other people's business". The two elders even had two big fights over this.

Whenever the Xu couple talked about the child next door, they couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Xiaoqin was still young at that time and didn’t quite understand what adults were thinking. She also didn’t understand why her father, who was also a father, was so good to her, while her little brother’s father was so bad to him.

She felt sorry for him.

The two of them went to the same primary school near their home and often ran into each other on the way to and from school. She would often follow him around, wanting to talk to him more.

But he was very cold and indifferent to her.

Xu Xiaoqin became more and more courageous despite setbacks.

Gradually, under her pestering, he would respond to her with a few words.

As time went by, the two became more and more familiar with each other.

Seeing the two children getting close, Mr. and Mrs. Xu were a little worried, but they did not stop them from interacting. They often asked her to secretly send him some food.

Of all her friends, she likes him best.

Because he was the best looking, very smart, and always got full marks on his exams. He also had a maturity that other kids his age didn't have, and he seemed very reliable.

Xu Xiaoqin often took him to her home to do homework and asked him to tutor her.

Perhaps he didn't want to go home and face his moody father, so apart from the initial resistance, he didn't refuse afterwards.
