You are like the warm sun

Chapter 211 Putting the matter to rest
Blinking her watery eyes blankly, Xu Xiaoqin felt that he must be angry, angry that she didn't come back to play with him for the entire summer vacation.

She first comforted herself, then clenched her fists to cheer herself up.

It doesn't matter, she just needs to comfort him.

She placed the bag of fruit from her grandmother's house at the door and called out, "I've left it at the door! Remember to take it!"

The only response she got was silence.

She put her hands behind her back, sighed, and went back home.

When she opened the door in the afternoon and looked at the door of the house opposite, she found that the bag of fruit was gone. It must be that Shao Zhouci took it in.

This means he forgives her!

But in fact, the bag of fruit was taken away by Shao Wei.

Xu Xiaoqin didn't know, but it didn't stop her from being happy. After school started, she continued to hang around him happily every day as usual, but she didn't notice the boy's increasingly cold eyes.

Three months after that incident.

In the evening, Shao Zhouci, who was ordered by his mother to go downstairs to throw away the garbage, was blocked at the corner of the stairs on the first floor by Xu's father who had just returned from a social event.

In the darkness, the other person reeked of alcohol.

Shao Zhouci leaned against the wall, his hands clamped above his head by one of his hands, and his mouth was covered tightly by him.

Mr. Xu was drunk and unconscious, but he was very strong.

He lowered his head and leaned forward, his voice unclear and greasy: "Xiao Ci, uncle really likes you. Uncle has never seen a boy more handsome than you. You are so good-looking that I feel itchy..."

Shao Zhouci stared at him with bloodshot eyes.

He really is so bold and shameless!
"thump--"

Along with the sound of objects falling to the ground, the woman's incredulous voice reached the ears of the two men: "You, what are you doing?"

Father Xu sobered up instantly. He quickly let go of the boy, feeling a little flustered inside, but appearing calm. "Nothing. I was just talking to Xiao Ci about something. Honey, why are you back so late?"

However, Xu's mother, who had just heard his words, didn't believe it at all.

Her face was ashen, she was angry and stunned, and she could hardly recover from the blow.

Shao Zhouci looked at her clueless expression and suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. He clenched his fists, his shoulders shaking, and complained in a frightened and awkward tone: "Aunt Xu, Uncle said he likes me and wants to kiss me..."

Xu's mother's pupils trembled.

With trembling lips, she took him to the flower bed outside the residential building, where it was quiet and suitable for private conversation.

Shao Zhouci told her everything that Xu's father had done.

Mother Xu, with a pale face, was silent for a long time. Looking at the child in front of her, she spoke with difficulty: "Xiao Ci, I will teach your Uncle Xu a lesson. There will definitely not be a next time. Auntie promises! But, please don't tell anyone else about this in advance, okay? If this matter gets out of hand, it will have a very bad impact on you..."

Shao Zhouci looked at her expressionlessly, as if he was in an ice cellar.

Xu's mother didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

She couldn't afford to lose this person.

Moreover, she couldn't let Xiaoqin follow Xu's father and be criticized by the neighbors, nor could she bear to destroy the image of Xu's father in her heart.

For the sake of her daughter, even though she hated her husband's behavior, she chose to keep quiet.

Xu's mother was unwilling to help him, so Shao Zhouci had no witness.

What kind of trouble could he stir up by himself?

But since then, Xu's father's eyes have become much more restrained when he looks at him. With Xu's mother watching over him, no matter how brave he is, he dare not do anything else.

Lying in the room, Shao Zhouci could occasionally hear them arguing next door.
