Zhang Xiuming stared at Simon Pullman fixedly, as if he didn't understand what he said.Does Simon Pullman want him to go?Was Simon Pullman not willing to take him in anymore?As soon as this thought flashed by, Zhang Xiuming's hand was held by Mr. Zhang, and Zhang Xiuyan next to him also looked at him. He was obviously a cold-natured person, but there was joy in his eyes because of the reunion of brothers.

This is his family.

Zhang Xiuming calmed down.In the past two years, they must have never stopped looking for him, otherwise they would not have found this distant foreign country.Zhang Xiuming looked at Simon Pullman again.

Simon Pullman said dryly: "Do you have any doubts about my words?"

Zhang Xiuming shook his head, then nodded.He broke away from Mr. Zhang's hand, ran to Simon Pullman, looked up at Simon Pullman's indifferent eyes, stretched out both hands to cover Simon Pullman's slender and beautiful palm: "I can come back to see you ?"

Simon Pullman wanted to sneer, but he couldn't say that to Zhang Xiuming's eyes.He looked at the small hands holding his palms, they were warm and soft.Such a young child has an extraordinarily tough heart, learning to adapt to life in a foreign country alone, and adapting to a lonely castle that is not suitable for children.He never gave this child too much encouragement, but this child gave him rare company.

Simon Pullman's tone was covered with a softness that he didn't even notice: "Yes."

Zhang Xiuming breathed a sigh of relief.He looked at Simon Pullman expectantly: "Then will you come to see me?"

Simon Pullman was silent.

Zhang Xiuming didn't ask any more questions, and immediately asked another question: "Can I hug you?"

Simon Pullman felt a corner of his heart crumble silently.He and Zhang Xiuming looked at each other for a moment, then nodded, and said slowly, "Yes."

Zhang Xiuming opened his arms and hugged Simon Pullman.He had short arms, and Simon Pullman was in a wheelchair, so it was a little difficult to hold him.Simon Pullman let him work for a moment, then reached out and picked him up, sitting him on his unconscious lap.

Zhang Xiuming hugged Simon Pullman forcefully, tears streaming down his face.He lived here for two years, but he was only allowed to call Simon Pullman "Sir" like a housekeeper.He thought that Simon Pullman didn't like him, but after hearing the conversation between Simon Pullman and Mr. Zhang, he knew that Simon Pullman also cared about him.But they are not father and son, nor brothers, there is no relationship between them.He left with his family, who were strangers now, separated by a whole ocean.

Zhang Xiuming sobbed and said, "I will definitely come back to see you."

Simon Pullman gave an "um", feeling the warmth from the little head around his neck.It turned out that it was not bad for the two of them to get close like this, but it was a pity that he always kept people away thousands of miles away, and there was no chance for them to get close.He paused and made a rare promise: "I will see you."

Zhang Xiuming was surprised and delighted.

The butler brought over the packed suitcases, all of which were Zhang Xiuming's favorite clothes and things.

Zhang Xiuming hugged Simon Pullman reluctantly again before slipping off Simon Pullman's lap and running to the housekeeper.He raised his head and said, "Mr. Housekeeper, may I give you a hug?"

The creases on the butler's face twitched.

From the moment Simon Pullman had those papers prepared, he knew that the child might be taken.

After coming here for more than two years, this child has never said soft words to him, and occasionally choked him up.But with this child, this ancient castle seems to be less deserted and more popular.The chefs didn't have to tremble every day to ask him what to eat, many servants also had smiles on their faces, and even the log-like bodyguards became talkative.

He never gave the child a good look, and he never said a word to the child in a pleasant manner.

Now, the kid is leaving.

The butler squatted in front of Zhang Xiuming.

Simon Pullman was slightly surprised.

Zhang Xiuming reached out and hugged the housekeeper.

Zhang Xiuming told the housekeeper: "Keep an eye on him to eat on time, and watch carefully when eating, the last one is what he likes; in the evening, the fog is not so big, the sun is not so big, remember to take him to the lake to get some air , It’s good for your health; remember to massage his legs at night, he doesn’t like others to approach, and your joints are not good, so you often massage them yourself.”

Tears welled up in the butler's eyes.

This child is usually silent, but in fact his heart is very clear.He said in a trembling voice, "Okay, I've memorized it." The housekeeper hugged Zhang Xiuming back, and said a rare soft word, "You can't mess around when you get home, you have to be more obedient."

Zhang Xiuming nodded.

He hugged the butler again: "If you want to eat fish in stone pot, you can ask Uncle Chef to cook it."

housekeeper:"……"

Sure enough, he was still an unlovable oriental kid.

Simon Pullman interrupted their conversation: "Okay, follow your father and the others."

Zhang Xiuming looked at Simon Pullman.

Simon Pullman sat calmly in the wheelchair with no emotion on his face, as if it wasn't him who held him on his lap just now.

Zhang Xiuming nodded sullenly: "Okay."

Zhang Xiuyan pulled the suitcase.

Zhang Xiuming looked at him and felt a deep sense of familiarity.Zhang Xiuming walked over and took the initiative to grab Zhang Xiuyan's hand.Mr. Zhang and Zhang Xiuyan are very similar, but Zhang Xiuyan is much closer than Mr. Zhang.

Zhang Xiuyan looked at his younger brother who had not heard from him for two years, and his heart softened.He said: "Let's go home, mom and the others are waiting for you."

Zhang Xiuming nodded.

Simon Pullman said: "You go out first, your father and I have something to say."

Zhang Xiuyan led Zhang Xiuming out of the study.

Mr. Zhang sat down again.

Simon Pullman picked out three documents returned by Mr. Zhang: "You sign these three." He looked at Mr. Zhang, "I gave them to Ace."

Mr. Zhang knew that Simon Pullman already had an irreplaceable position in Zhang Xiuming's heart, and the two families would never be able to sever this connection.He said: "The Zhang family cannot have too close ties with foreign countries. We may not be able to bring him to see you often."

Simon Pullman said: "I know." His expression was flat, and his tone was flat, "It is impossible for me to see him often. So, please treat him well. If you are not suitable for raising him, I will do whatever it takes Bring him back."

It was rare for Mr. Zhang not to sulk at being threatened.He seriously agreed: "Okay." He did not refuse Simon Pullman's kindness, and raised his hand to sign his name on the three documents.

Simon Pullman didn't go out to see him off.

When Zhang Xiuming walked out of the castle, he looked back at the balcony of the study.Simon Pullman sat there, gazing at him silently, as if to watch him go until he could no longer be seen.

Mr. Zhang and his party boarded the car and left Pullman's house, and left St. Lorenzo on the earliest flight.

Zhang Xiuming looked at the gray sky and gray clouds outside the window, his eyes were astringent, and he lowered his head and sniffed.

The family got the news early.

Yuan Ning waited in front of the gate with Ms. Xue and the others until almost noon.Yuan Ning's feet were a little soft, but he didn't cry tired, and obediently followed Ms. Xue and the others to wait.It was around twelve o'clock when Yuan Ning saw a familiar car coming into view.

Yuan Ning's heart was pounding.

That was the car driven by driver Li.Yuan Ning felt that his legs were not sore at all, so he stood up straight and looked forward.Ms. Xue and the others had already surrounded him, but his eyes were blank, and he stood there in a daze.The car door opened, Mr. Zhang got out of the car first, and then Zhang Xiuyan got out of the car with a six or seven-year-old boy in his arms. His brows were stretched, and he looked down at the boy he was holding, with very soft eyes.

Yuan Ning was stunned, and ran forward, standing behind Zhang Xiuwen, wanting to open his mouth to call out, but felt that his voice could not squeeze in.Zhang Xiuwen noticed that he had a small tail, turned around and touched Yuan Ning's head, gave him a hand, and led him to the front.

Zhang Xiuyan noticed Zhang Xiuwen's movements and turned to look at Yuan Ning.At this time, Zhang Xiuming, who was holding him, also woke up, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.When he found himself being held in someone's arms, he moved and wanted to get off the ground.Zhang Xiuyan bent over and put him on the ground, and only let him go when he stood still.

Zhang Xiuwen looked at Ms. Xue and the others who were waiting for him.

Ms. Xue had tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to approach easily, as if she was afraid that this was a dream, and she would wake up from the dream if she took another step forward.Ms. Xue didn't move, so naturally Zhang Xiuling and Zhang Xiuwen didn't move either, they just looked at Zhang Xiuming together, and cast kind eyes on Zhang Xiuming.

Yuan Ning also looked over.Assistant Han said that he and Zhang Xiuming are a bit similar, but now they look nothing like him. Zhang Xiuming is only two months older than him, but half a head taller than him. He looks smart and cute.Similarly, when he came to a strange environment and saw "strangers", Zhang Xiuming showed no timidity at all.

Zhang Xiuming blinked his eyes, looked at everyone carefully, and called out clearly: "Mom, sister, third brother." Finally, his eyes fell on Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning felt nervous for a while.He stammered and shouted: "Fourth, fourth brother."

Zhang Xiuming stared at the only strange face, thought for a while, and shouted, "Ningning."

Yuan Ning was overjoyed.The fourth brother knew his name and didn't seem to dislike him.Yuan Ning immediately shouted again: "Fourth brother!"

Zhang Xiuming looked into Yuan Ning's bright eyes, stepped forward to hold Yuan Ning's hand, and looked at Ms. Xue again.

Zhang Xiuming didn't speak, but Ms. Xue understood, and stepped forward excitedly to hold Zhang Xiuming's hand.Feeling the warm and soft touch from the palm, Ms. Xue's eyes suddenly turned red.

Back, their chirping is back.

Ms. Xue was happy, and Yuan Ning was also very happy.The fourth brother didn't dislike him, and the fourth brother even took the initiative to hold his hand!

Zhang Xiuling also took Zhang Xiuwen's hand and walked inside.

Zhang Xiuyan stared at the hands Zhang Xiuming and Yuan Ning held together.The two children were about the same age, and they got along normally, but seeing Yuan Ning's happy face, Zhang Xiuyan was inexplicably uncomfortable.

This little stutterer didn't call him when he came back, and didn't even look at him!

Seeing Zhang Xiuyan standing still, Mr. Zhang had a rare smile in his eyes.In the future, this family may be very lively. If this kid who is used to being bored in his heart becomes a bored gourd again, he may be tormented in the future.Mr. Zhang reached out and patted Zhang Xiuyan on the shoulder.

Zhang Xiuyan looked at Mr. Zhang expressionlessly.

Mr. Zhang said: "If you want something, you should fight for it."

Zhang Xiu paused for a moment, then walked in.He took big steps and quickly caught up with Yuan Ning and the others.

Zhang Xiuming was stopping to look at the large swimming pool on the side of the garden.

Yuan Ning explained to Zhang Xiuming: "Brother asked someone to dig it before the Chinese New Year. He said he would dig it out and store it for a few months. When the weather gets warmer, he can swim."

Zhang Xiuming said, "That's it."

Yuan Ning said: "Brother also asked someone to change a gym, so you can exercise at home when the weather is bad."

Zhang Xiuming nodded.

Yuan Ning said: "Do you get up early in the morning? If we get up early, we can go for a run together!"

Zhang Xiuming didn't agree, but after thinking about it, he said, "I'll try it out."

Yuan Ning said: "Brother has been raising the mimosa you bought, and it misses you very much, do you want to go and see it?"

If an adult hears this, they will definitely find it too strange. How can Mimosa miss people?But Zhang Xiuming suddenly recalled that little mimosa, and obviously lost a lot of memory, the appearance of that mimosa suddenly became clear in his mind.

Zhang Xiuming said, "Okay!"

Yuan Ning said: "Mimosa will be very happy!"

Ms. Xue was listening to the conversation between Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuming, feeling both happy and sour.Because she cared too much and was too happy, she couldn't have a detailed chat with Zhang Xiuming like Yuan Ning.

When the family went upstairs, Zhang Xiuyan stepped forward to open the door of his room, glanced at Yuan Ning, and led them to the balcony to watch the mimosa.Yuan Ning froze for a moment, feeling that Zhang Xiuyan didn't seem very happy when he looked at him just now.

Yuan Ning quickly grabbed Zhang Xiuyan's hand.

Zhang Xiu looked at him strictly.

Yuan Ning shouted: "Brother."

The incomparably firm coldness on Zhang Xiuyan's face was lost by him.He nodded and looked at the mimosa that was in great shape.

But Zhang Xiuming looked at Zhang Xiuyan strangely.

Zhang Xiuyan asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Xiuming felt that the elder brother was different from the memory, at least the elder brother in the memory would not sullenly face just because he was ignored, and stretch his face when he was yelled at.

Zhang Xiuming wisely did not tell the truth.He glanced at the top of Zhang Xiuyan's head, and said, "I heard that mimosa can release toxins, and if you keep it indoors for too long, you'll get bald."

This is the first time Yuan Ning has heard of such a thing, and immediately looked at Zhang Xiuyan with concern—if he hadn't been too short, he might have reached out to touch Zhang Xiuyan's head and look at Zhang Xiuyan's hair Has it decreased.

Mimosa retorted unconvinced: "No! No! I won't harm others!"

Zhang Xiuyan also said with a stern face: "Talking about toxicity regardless of the dose is a hooligan."

Zhang Xiuming and Yuan Ning looked at Zhang Xiuyan together, and asked curiously, "What is hooliganism?"

Zhang Xiuyan: "..."

Zhang Xiuyan changed the subject: "Then let's transplant it into the garden." The younger brother has already returned, so there is no need for him to keep the mimosa in the house.

He doesn't have much time to be responsible for a life—even if it's just a plant that doesn't need much attention.
