You are like the warm sun

Chapter 207 Aci's Past

The mother thought about divorce, but Shao Wei disagreed.

Whenever she filed for divorce, she would be beaten black and blue.

His mother often hugged him and cried, calling Shao Wei a beast with a beastly heart.

He didn't like his father at all.

One day, his mother could no longer bear it and packed up her things and ran away with him. They came to a strange city and lived in an old rented house. Their life was difficult, but they spent a quiet time there.

There, no one knew them, and he and his mother were the only ones left.

But soon, Shao Wei found them.

He grabbed his mother's arm and tried to drag her into the room. His eyes were fierce and crazy: "Why are you running? Have I been bad to you? Why are you running?!"

The mother screamed in fear.

She didn't understand why the man who treated her so well before marriage would become like this after marriage. If she had known this, she would have stayed away from him and never jumped into this fire pit again!

Shao Zhouci stepped forward to stop him, but his strength was too weak.

Unable to stop him, he was pushed to the ground.

In their eyes, Shao Wei is like a demon who can suck human blood.

Shao Zhouci clenched his fists and for the first time felt a strong hatred towards the man in front of him.

After this incident, the mother slowly gave in, as if resigned to her fate, her eyes growing numb. She didn't dare to resist Shao Wei, and slowly stopped caring about her son. She was like a puppet, spending her days at work and then home doing chores, silent and gloomy.

Later, to avoid debt collectors, they moved.

Next door to his new home lived a family named Xu, who had a little girl of the same age as him.

She always ran behind him, occasionally coming up to give him something, like a piece of dog-skin plaster that could not be shaken off. She was a hothouse flower, maintaining the innocence and carefreeness of their age.

And he was stuck in the quagmire.

Two families separated by only an aisle, one is heaven and the other is hell.

Perhaps driven by envy and jealousy, Shao Zhouci initially resisted her. But he was still a child, and even at his most precocious, he longed for a friend to talk to. With the kindness of their family and her warmth, he gradually accepted her approach.

……

"Shao Zhouci, Shao Zhouci, look, I raised my hand to answer a question in class today, and the teacher rewarded me with a little red flower!" Xu Xiaoqin showed off to him while holding a little red flower.

"Oh."

"Isn't the little flower cute?"

Shao Zhouci glanced at it.

To be honest, the little red flower is a bit ugly.

You can tell at first glance that the flowers were cut in bulk by a teacher, and there aren't even any holes in the petals.

But seeing how happy she was, he didn't tell the truth but just said "hmm".

……

"Shao Zhouci, what do you think this is?"

Xu Xiaoqin held a red paper cup with a straw, which was filled with bubbling coffee-colored drink.

"Cola," Shao Zhouci, who is only in the first grade, said in a light tone with a slightly milky voice.

"Ah, you know, didn't you say you had never drunk it?"

Shao Zhouci glanced at her and said, "Just because you haven't drunk it doesn't mean you haven't seen it."

"Yeah, that's right..." Xu Xiaoqin chuckled and handed him the Coke. "This is a free gift when I bought a fried chicken leg. I'll give it to you."

Shao Zhouci wanted to say no, but she stuffed it in and ran away.

He was taking the drink home and was bumped into by a group of running and playing elementary school students downstairs, and the Coke spilled all over the floor.

Looking back at the culprit who hit someone and ran away, Shao Zhouci frowned seriously.
