In response to Master Xiao's next words, her heart was in a state of turmoil, making her restless and uneasy.
"I am not qualified to forgive you on behalf of Guo Shan."
After Guo Shan was stunned for a moment, she lowered her head with a gloomy expression.
Yes, the person she wants to confess to is her brother, the person she wants to apologize to is her brother, and the person she wants to repent to is also her brother.
How can someone else do this?
...
However, Guo Shan took a peek at her brother's diary, and her admiration was so strong that it almost burst out of the paper.
She thought, if Master Xiao, whom her brother admired so much, told her to forgive her, would her brother also forgive her?
As soon as such thoughts appeared, she could not settle down and do anything.
...
Her dazed expression attracted her brother's inquiry.
Seeing the worry in her brother's eyes, she finally made up her mind to come to Yanda alone to find Master Xiao.
…
Guo Shan learned about Master Xiao's name and school from her brother's notebook.
This is what my brother specifically asked his classmates later.
It seems that his classmate's brother and Master Xiao are classmates in the same school.
…
Based on this information, she checked the route and came out from home early in the morning, her heart hopping around like a rabbit.
It was the first time for her to go to such a far place by herself, and it was a strange place that she had never been to before.
After thinking about it, she still didn't dare to take a taxi alone. Instead, she only took the bus and the subway, changing trains along the way. When she finally arrived in front of the simple gate of Yanda Yongrong, she was really relieved.
tone.
...
The sense of accomplishment of successfully reaching the destination gave Guo Shan an inexplicable sense of unfounded confidence in what she was going to do next.
…
Guo Shan is very smart, she had already thought about it before coming.
She found a gentle-looking sister who came to see her brother and asked about the location of the boys' dormitory.
Then he asked Master Xiao's dormitory number from the dormitory aunt for the same reason.
…
However, seeing that everything was going well, I didn't expect that Master Xiao was not in the dormitory.
He went out.
She didn't dare to say much about the other big brothers' inquiries, and the sense of disappointment that her urgent expectations had been dashed also made her a little reluctant to say anything.
She didn't want to leave just like that.
She was not sure if she would have the courage to come here again next time if she failed this time.
So she insisted on waiting here.
She wants to wait for Master Xiao to come back.
…
Then, she waited.
Originally, she was not a child who cried easily in front of outsiders.
But under Master Xiao's gaze, she couldn't help but cry.
She burst into tears and talked a lot.
After two whole years of repression, she needed to vent.
…
However, after venting her anger, she felt uneasy again.
Master Xiao did not comfort her and forgive him as she thought.
and……
Looking up at Master Xiao's slightly cool eyes, her limbs became stiff and a chill gradually spread in her heart.
Suddenly, she was very frightened.
…
However, Master Xiao stroked her head.
The slight pressure on the top of my head sent a reassuring warmth.
For some unknown reason, Guo Shan, who was still a bit brave at first, suddenly felt ashamed.
Compared with her brother, she is nothing.
Obviously, my brother has endured so much on his own and paid so much for her.
She always remembered her brother roaring and grabbing the monster that was rushing towards her, with the light in his eyes so bright.
Brother said: Don't touch my sister!
God knows, she also wanted to stand in front of her brother and yell at the monster: Leave my brother!
…
However, there is no way.
She can't do it.
She really can't do it!
She thought about it countless times in her mind.
But it’s just a thought.
…
It's really hopeless to be like this.
…
Guo Shan listened quietly to Master Xiao's words.
Even holding his breath with a bit of nervousness.
…
Xiao Xiao suddenly stood up, but his gentle movements made Guo Shan suddenly raise her head and look at Xiao Xiao, her face full of panic and confusion.
Looking at Guo Shan who was "trembling in the wind and cranes", Xiao Xiao patted the child's head a few times to comfort him.
Without stopping, he reached out and took the water glass from which the child had only taken a sip.
The water inside has become cold.
He walked to the bathroom and poured out the water in the glass, then went to the water dispenser and filled up another glass of water.
...
Guo Shan's eyes were fixed on Xiao Xiao's every move without blinking.
The red and swollen eyes combined with Baba's expression unexpectedly showed a bit of cuteness.
…
After the water cooled down a little, Xiao Xiao handed the cup to Guo Shan.
Looking at the child's white and dry lips, he said warmly: "Drink some water."
Guo Shan took the water glass a little flattered.
The slightly hot temperature made her slightly squint her eyes in comfort.
She raised the cup and took a small sip.
Then, the child puffed up his cheeks and blew a few breaths into the water, then drank heavily.
The already parched throat was like "a sudden rain after a long drought", swallowing up stream after stream of water almost greedily.
The water glass quickly bottomed out.
"anything else?"
Xiao Xiao asked softly.
Guo Shan hesitated for a moment, then nodded shyly.
…
This time, she only drank half a glass and stopped.
Both hands were still holding the cup, searching for the temperature of the hot water as if drawing strength.
…
"Guo Shan."
"Are you hungry?"
"It's getting late, let's go have dinner."
Xiao Xiao looked at his watch and said after the child finished drinking the water.
"Well?"
Guo Shan subconsciously uttered a questionable monosyllable.
Why do you have to go to dinner all of a sudden?
Things just... ended like this?
"Master Xiao, that..."
Guo Shan groaned, but didn't know what to say.
She thought that Master Xiao still had a lot to say to her, maybe he would blame her or maybe he would comfort her.
However, in the end, Master Xiao seemed to be going to eat as if nothing happened?
…
Now that he has concluded that Guo Shan came to him is the right choice, Xiao Xiao doesn't want to say anything more.
As a child, Guo Shan just made the choice a child would make.
He could not forgive on behalf of Guo Shan, nor could he say anything to his sister on behalf of Guo Shan.
He is just a bystander.
Well, maybe I should say, law enforcer.
He is responsible for destroying monsters that harm the world.
It's just that the remaining issues... have to be resolved by the parties themselves.
They are still young, and it will take a long time for all problems to be solved slowly.
Besides, this kid really regrets it.
After what happened this time, he thought that this child would grow up significantly.
…
"Let's go."
"Do not think too much."
Xiao Xiao bent down and patted the little girl's head.
"Let bygones be bygones."
"Just be nice to your brother later."
Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly and blinked at Guo Shan.
