Rebirth, the childhood sweetheart turned out to be my sister

Summer thunderstorms come and go quickly.

In less than half an hour, the rain stopped.

Xu Luo and Jiang Yao, who were taking shelter from the rain in a supermarket, also came out.

"Fortunately, it didn't rain all the time, otherwise we would have had to run home in the rain."

This place is at the midpoint of the route of the community where Xu Luojia and Jiang Yao originally lived. It's not close to either side, so the location is really awkward.

"You also said that you are really a crow's mouth. If you say it rains, it will rain."

Jiang Yao rolled her eyes at him, and then reached out to touch the hair on the back of her head. She was so anxious when she ran just now that her hairstyle was a little off, but no matter how hard the girl tried, she couldn't get it right.

"I'll do it."

Seeing this, Xu Luo hurriedly walked behind her and helped Jiang Yao take care of her hair using the technique he had just learned from the stall owner.

"Well... I won't let you help me until I learn how to do my hair."

Jiang Yao was a little embarrassed. She blushed slightly and pouted, setting a flag for herself.

"Okay, okay, our Jiang Yao is the most powerful."

When Xu Luo heard this, he also responded with a smile while combing his hair.

"Hey, what's with your coaxing tone?!"

Damn it, why can't I feel angry...

Just when Xu Luo was standing on the sidewalk combing Jiang Yao's hair, a very young girl on the side of the road grabbed his clothes.

"Brother, buy a flower for your girlfriend. It's not expensive at all."

Xu Luo stopped and looked back. It was a little lolita with pigtails and simple clothes. She was holding a plastic rose in her hand. She looked at Xu Luo with longing and fearful eyes, and her words were filled with emotion. With a slight tremor.

Behind the little girl, there was a stooped old man. He looked at Xu Luo and the two of them with a smile. He should be the little girl's family.

For some reason, when Xu Luo saw her timid little eyes, he remembered himself when he was a child after his mother passed away. He bent down and touched the little girl's head lovingly.

"Sorry, this eldest sister is not my brother's girlfriend. I can't buy her roses."

"B-but that's how I combed my mother's hair when dad was here."

The little girl looked at Jiang Yao innocently and asked doubtfully.

"Well...this sister is my brother's sister, not his girlfriend."

Xu Luo was amused by the little girl's innocence and couldn't help but pinch her little nose.

This made the little girl feel embarrassed. Her face was flushed and very cute. She immediately looked up at Jiang Yao with envy.

"Sister, you are so happy."

"Why do you say that?"

For such a cute little girl, Jiang Yao would inevitably have a good impression. She immediately bent down, smiled and touched her head.

But the next moment, the little girl's words left the two of them speechless.

"Because my parents are not here, and only me and my grandfather are left together. If... if I also have an older brother who is like a big brother,"

The little girl scratched her head in embarrassment and continued: "You can take care of me and pamper me like on TV, and then... no one will bully me and grandpa."

At the end of the sentence, there was a dim look in her eyes, but soon a smile broke out on her face.

"So I say that my sister is very lucky to have such a good brother."

The child's words were so simple that it made Jiang Yao's eyes sore and she almost cried.

Especially when I saw her following her grandfather on the street to buy flowers at such a young age, I felt so distressed.

In fact, sometimes what makes people feel distressed is not only the pain, but also the longing. The envy and longing in the little girl's eyes deeply hurt both of them.

The next moment, Jiang Yao knelt down and hugged the little girl. The hair on her back was only restrained by hairpins. Most of her hair was hanging loosely around her waist. It was obviously very messy, but Xu Luo felt that now Jiang Yao is more beautiful than ever.

"Xu Luo, how about we buy some."

Jiang Yao raised her head, quietly pulled the corner of his clothes, and motioned for him to buy the rose in her hand.

"Well, little sister, how much does your flower cost?"

"One...one dollar a flower!"

When she heard that the elder brother in front of her was about to sell the roses in her hand, the little girl suddenly showed a dazzling smile on her face. She became happy and hurriedly took out the roses from her arms.

"Okay, then I'll take all the flowers in your hand, okay?"

The little girl took out a rose from her arms and handed it to Xu Luo, then shook her head.

"Brother, you don't have to buy more because you feel sorry for me. Mom said you have to support yourself, otherwise you won't be a good boy."

The little girl's words once again made the two of them feel sad.

What a sensible child.

But Xu Luo soon said: "Then I want three more flowers, one for my sister to give to me, and the other two for my brother's parents, okay?"

The little girl hesitated for a moment, not knowing what was going on in her little head, but finally she raised her head and handed Xu Luo three roses.

"Okay, brother will give you money."

Xu Luo took out a five-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it over. The little girl happily took the money, carefully opened the small schoolbag on her chest, and then solemnly put the money inside. The small schoolbag was in tatters. It's rotten, with a little tiger pattern hanging on it. I don't know how long it took to wash it, but it has turned white.

"Hehe...this little schoolbag was bought for me by my mother~Here, big brother, I'll give you a dollar."

The little girl didn't seem to feel inferior because of this. Perhaps because she mentioned her mother, her eyes became a little brighter, and she happily took out a coin.

"It's very beautiful, thank you little sister."

Xu Luo touched her head again. At this moment, the old man who had been watching not far away walked slowly over with a flower basket.

"Grandpa, look! I sold it and spent it!"

The little girl ran to the old man, smiled and took out the five yuan Xu Luo had given her just now, with a happy face.

"Thank you... thank you."

The old man knew that Xu Luo and Jiang Yao were helping them in disguise, so he quickly thanked them and asked his granddaughter to do the same.

"Yiyi, say thank you to my brothers and sisters for taking care of our business."

"Well, thank you, big brother and big sister!"

Shan Yiyi turned around, a big smile blooming on her small face.

In his past and present life, for nearly 30 years, Xu Luo had seen many smiles, all kinds of smiles, but he had never seen such a pure smile, so clean without a trace of impurities. For a moment, the young man was in a trance.

"You're welcome. It just so happens that we need these flowers too. It's great that my little sister helps grandpa sell flowers at such a young age."

Jiang Yao looked at Shan Yiyi with soft eyes, gently rubbing the little girl's head just like her mother rubbed her head when she was a child.

"Okay, Yiyi, it's time for us to go home and say goodbye to our brothers and sisters."

"Well, goodbye brother and sister!"

The little girl wisely took the flower basket from the old man's arms, then put it skillfully on her arm and said goodbye to them with a smile.

"Goodbye, remember to be careful on the road."

Shan Yiyi held the flower basket in one hand, and took the initiative to hold her grandfather's hand with the other, walking towards the quiet street outside the night market. The lights and shadows in the night market followed behind them, but they made the old and the young look out of place. Feeling of loneliness.

"Grandpa...when will mom come back..."

Little Yiyi raised her little head, her eyes filled with longing for her mother.

"Maybe... next month..."

The old man's unconfident response was drowned in the noisy summer wind, and the grandfather and grandson held hands and slowly disappeared at the end of the street.

"Well, Yiyi will work hard to make money, and then mom will no longer have to go out to work...Grandpa, I miss mom..."

"Yiyi, mom...will be back. Then I will buy you a lot of toys and a lot of delicious food."

"Hehe... I don't want toys. I just want my mother to come back. Grandpa, let's go home quickly. I'll help you cook in a while."

……

It had obviously just rained, and the air should be very fresh, but Jiang Yao felt that it was difficult to breathe and was almost out of breath.

"Xu Luo... tell me, why does this little girl come out to sell flowers? She is still so young..."

She looked at the place where the two disappeared and didn't look away for a long time.

"Maybe...for money."

Xu Luo, who has been in society, knows that this is the reality of society. Although he is used to seeing joys and sorrows, and all kinds of things in the world, the young man at this time is still feeling panicked.

"Yes...I'm so stupid...I sell things just for money...but...but..."

As she spoke, Jiang Yao suddenly started crying, tears streaming out of her eyes as if she was asking for money. She turned around and looked at the boy who was gradually blurring in her field of vision. A strong sense of fear suddenly surged in her heart. Regardless of being arrogant or shy, she threw herself into his arms.

"Jiang...Jiang Yao?"

Xu Luo opened his hands and looked nervously at the girl in his arms.

Is she shaking because of fear?

"Xu Luo... you know, I remember what happened when I was a child, that... hum... at that time, my mother was always at work. I was at home and going to school alone. I was really... so scared, so scared, you know? ...Xu Luo, do you know... I'm so scared... Wuwuwu... I'm so scared..."

Children from single-parent families almost always have hidden emotions, but they usually don't show them easily. But if they have an outlet to vent, they will become unable to stop it.

now.

Jiang Yao hugged the young man tightly, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear. All the uneasiness and grievances she had suffered over the years seemed to have a hole, and they all came up at this time and became out of control.

"Woooooooo..."

Xu Luo hugged Jiang Yao lovingly, resting her chin gently on the top of her head, and gently caressed the girl's head with her palms.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. You still have me now... I'm... good."

This was the first time he saw the proud and arrogant Jiang Yao crying so helplessly.

It hurts more than I imagined...

Subconsciously, Xu Luo increased the strength of her arms, trying to bring her more warmth.

On the empty street after the rain, under the bright street lights, the two hugged each other tightly.

The girl's thin sobs fell into the boy's heart, causing ripples that lingered for a long time.
