In the photo album, Ximen Longting is wearing a tall hat like a spittoon and a red uniform. He is holding a spear on his shoulder in a very standard posture, standing under the scorching sun.
When the sun shines down, he is only 4 years old but has a handsome appearance.
The photos look very impressive, but...
Those who know the inside story will know that Ximen Longting is punished by standing still.
Under the scorching sun, the penalty period starts at three hours. Depending on the degree of the wrong thing he has done, he will be fined lightly for minor mistakes and severely punished for serious mistakes.
"This is not SUN." SUN held the photo and frowned, "Is this grandpa?"
"..."
"Grandpa looked exactly like SUN when he was young!"
SUN's two eyes were staring at the photo album, and his eyeballs turned to the corners of his eyes, forming a cockfighting look.
Lively and cute.
The serious and cold look of Ximen Longting in the photo album is completely different from heaven and earth.
Ximen Fenglie stroked SUN's head and became more thoughtful.
SUN flipped through page after page: "Wow, this one looks like it too."
"This picture..."
"This one looks the most like SUN."
"It turns out that grandpa was also a dwarf before."
SUN covered his mouth with one hand and snickered secretly, his head nodding like a chicken pecking rice.
Realizing that Ximen Fenglie had been frowning, he started to please again: "Grandpa is still a bit more handsome than Sun..."
Just then SUN's little finger turned to a photo...
It was Ximen Longting kneeling on the stone steps.
There were small gravels under his knees, but he seemed not to know the pain. His beautiful little face was dull, and his red eyes were numb and hollow.
The smile on SUN's lips stopped.
Then let go of the next picture, Ximen Longting was being held up by a servant and pressed down to hit the board.
A lot of boards have been beaten, the skin and flesh are torn, even the cloth on the back is torn, and there is blood all over it...
SUN's little hands shook and he could not hold the booklet steady.
Ximen Fenglie reached over with his big palm and closed the book hard.
"Old stubborn grandpa..."
"..."
"Who hit you, who bullied you like this! SUN wants to help you take revenge!"
SUN's red pupils were instantly confused and filled with mist, and his small fists were clenched with fierce hatred.
Ximen Fenglie remained silent...
SUN suddenly stretched out his little hand, hooked Ximen Fenglie's neck, and buried his head on his shoulder. He was extremely sad: "SUN will protect grandpa from now on and will never let anyone bully grandpa again!"
Ximen Fenglie's slightly arched back froze.
"SUN promises that you will never let anyone touch a hair of yours again...SUN will fight them tooth and nail!"
Ximen Fenglie's hand slowly fell on his small body that was trembling due to intense emotions.
"Grandpa, do you feel any pain? SUN really wants to help you..."
Ximen Fenglie's throat heaved violently: "With your three-legged cat skills, who do you think you can beat?"
"Then SUN will study hard and strive to become stronger! SUN will be very strong and protect the people I love!"
"The one you love?" Ximen Fenglie's voice was stiff——
How many years has it been since he used these three words to himself?
Even if I read it out now, it feels so strange and difficult to pronounce!
"I haven't forgotten that you keep saying that you hate me the most."
SUN's little hand patted his back, like a little adult comforting an old child: "SUN also likes to be duplicitous sometimes!"
