After a slight pause, his steps resumed their progress.
Few people would stop for a stranger.
Especially when the other party seems to be fine.
…
Um?
The young man slowly realized something.
He slowly raised his head.
really.
At some point an umbrella appeared above his head.
…
The young man turned his head.
…
Xiao Xiao slightly arched his eyebrows.
"Hello."
"meet again."
…
The young man's eyes widened in surprise.
Big, big brother!?
The person standing in front of him, holding the umbrella for him... was the big brother who saved him from a car accident a few days ago.
It's him……
"It's you?"
…
"Um."
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.
"it's me."
"It seems we are quite destined."
"Every time I see you..."
Xiao Xiao took a brief look at the young man's appearance at this time, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "You don't seem to be in a very good condition."
…
Hearing this, the young man was startled.
The next second, the boy's cheeks turned red.
The young man was a little at a loss.
Because of his elder brother's words, he suddenly realized...
How embarrassed I looked at this moment...
…
The previous two times, I could use the excuse of hitting someone, especially the second time when I almost had a car accident, to cover up my poor performance.
this time……
What excuse would he use to explain his current appearance?
…
"Here."
Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand that was clenched into a fist.
…
ah?
The young man subconsciously extended his hand.
Then, he felt something being placed on the palm of his hand.
He took a closer look.
Then, he froze.
It is a candy wrapped in beautiful glass candy wrapper.
The bright orange lighted up the boy's gloomy eyes.
…
The young man looked at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth.
"Give you a candy."
"As a gift for us to meet again by chance."
…
The young man opened his mouth.
For a moment, he seemed to have a lot to say.
But in the end, he just said a simple "thank you".
…
The young man lowered his head.
He took the candy from his elder brother's hand.
He peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy into his mouth.
Well……
Sure enough, it is an orange-flavored candy.
The sweet orange aroma filled his mouth.
With a slight sourness.
Just a little sour.
For some reason, his eyes suddenly became filled with moisture.
A strong emotion swept over me.
He didn't even have time to identify what this emotion was...
Something slipped from his face.
…
Why?
The young man realized something belatedly...
He reached out and touched his face.
Wet, wet...
What is it?
…
A tissue appeared in his field of vision.
The young man looked up blankly.
…
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved into a gentle arc.
"Just wipe it."
…
An idea suddenly flashed in the young man's mind.
ah!
Then, he froze.
He...he cried?!
…
The young man immediately blushed again.
He actually cried!?
In front of big brother...on the street...
he……
The young man was so embarrassed that he wished he could hide in a crack in the ground.
Unfortunately, there were only splashes of water on the smooth ground.
Yes.
The young man's mind seemed to be stimulated and became a little brighter.
Fortunately it's raining now.
Everyone is holding an umbrella.
He is also under the umbrella.
He lowered his head.
Except for his eldest brother, no one should have noticed that he was crying.
…
After realizing this, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.
The restlessness all over my body has eased a little.
He took a deep breath.
Slowly spit it out.
Then, he covered his face with the tissue his elder brother gave him.
…
The sudden dimming of light and slight depression in front of his eyes gave him an increasingly reassuring sense of security.
He pressed the tissue.
Make the tissue fit your face better.
He also let the tear stains on his face be absorbed by the tissue.
only……
Do not know why……
The corners of his eyes were burning.
Tears kept falling.
Soon, the entire paper towel became wet.
…
Even though the paper towel had no effect, the boy did not take it off.
He needs tissue paper.
Even this is better than no cover at all.
…
The young man's fingers brushed the corners of his eyes again and again.
The hot temperature at his fingertips made his fingers tremble a little.
The unstoppable tears made him more and more irritable.
What exactly is going on?
It was as if his soul had left this body.
He couldn't control his crying behavior.
It can only be allowed to develop.
…
"Pa~"
The boy's hands hit him hard on the cheek.
Make a crisp sound.
…
The boy took off the paper from his face.
Wet paper towels are useless.
His whole face seemed to be soaked by rain.
Although there is an umbrella covering his head.
…
"feel better now?"
Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand in front of the young man's eyes.
"Eat another candy."
…
This time it was a candy wrapped in red glass candy wrapper.
The bright colors are like a ray of sunshine that dispels the darkness in some young people's eyes.
The young man found it a bit funny for no reason.
He is actually not that young.
One candy can solve everything...
…
The boy reached out and took the candy.
I don't know when, but he had already finished the candy from before.
…
"ah!"
He wanted to peel off the candy, but his fingers were slippery and the candy fell from his hand.
He opened his eyes wide, with a look of shock on his face.
…
But soon, looking at the candy handed to him by his elder brother -
It is also a candy wrapped in red glass candy wrapper.
He blinked.
Is this the candy he just dropped?
Or did the big brother give him a new candy?
He subconsciously looked towards the ground.
…
"This is the candy from before."
Xiao Xiao's words made the boy suddenly raise his head.
ah?
Is that the candy from just now?
That is to say...
The moment he dropped the candy, the elder brother caught the candy again?
He didn't notice it at all.
…
How did you do it?
The young man suddenly thought of his elder brother's life-saving grace.
At that time, he didn't know how his elder brother saved him.
As a rescued person, he really didn't feel anything at all.
By the time he gets the impression, he is safe.
…
Hey...thinking about it...
It doesn't seem too surprising that the big brother caught the candy he dropped.
Big brother...that's how awesome he is.
…
"Thank you, thank you."
Just as the boy was about to take the candy, he found that his elder brother had retracted his hand.
His hand paused.
He looked at his elder brother with a bit of confusion and a little caution.
…
Xiao Xiao handed a tissue to the boy.
"Wipe your hands."
…
Oh~
The young man suddenly realized.
He obediently took the tissue and wiped his wet hands.
Then show your dry hands to your elder brother.
…
Xiao Xiao smiled and handed the candy to the boy.
…
The sweet strawberry aroma filled the boy's mouth...
