greeted.

"Xuesheng..."

Chen Shuhua looked at Li Xuesheng obsequiously, he looked very much like a puppy waiting for its master to caress.

Li Xuesheng looked at Chen Shuhua, who was full of flattery, and stretched out his hand involuntarily.

Chen Shuhua hastily bent down, and took the initiative to put his head on Li Xuesheng's palm, rubbing it affectionately.

Seeing Chen Shuhua's expression full of enjoyment, Li Xuesheng felt a little sour in his heart.

Xiao Hua, if you hadn't done unnecessary things, you would be the adopted son of the Shen family now.

Soon we will be able to go to America together and live a new life there.

Why is it so difficult for you to accept three more family members who love you in your life?

I really can't figure it out!

Li Xuesheng led Chen Shuhua to the gate of the school, and walked towards a black Buick car parked by the side of the road.

He opened the door of the passenger seat and ordered, "Come up."

Chen Shuhua glanced at the limousine, his face changed slightly.

"Xuesheng, whose car is this?" He asked tentatively.

"My dad's company car." Li Xuesheng said lightly.

"Don't lie to me anymore, I went back and asked Dean Liu." Chen Shuhua complained with a smile, "You bastard, you have really bad intentions, you always like to scare me!"

"Last time, I really lied to you. This time, it's true."

Li Xuesheng stared at Chen Shuhua with a look of astonishment and uncertainty, feeling a little unbearable in his heart, in the end he still told the truth.

"Xiaohua, the procedures for my adoption have been completed. I am now the adopted son of the Shen family. If you don't believe me, you can ask Dean Liu yourself when you arrive at the orphanage later."

Chen Shuhua stared blankly at Li Xuesheng, the blood on his face gradually faded, turning as white as snow.

Seeing Chen Shuhua's behavior like this, Li Xuesheng felt a little distressed, but he could only sigh helplessly.

Xiaohua, for you, I have forcibly suppressed my desire to fly to the United States, and decided to stay in China to accompany you for another 4 years.

4 years is really my limit!

If you ask me more, I can only say sorry to you!

I hope that in these 4 years, you can grow up quickly, learn to live independently, and learn to enjoy loneliness.

"Okay, let's get in the car. My parents are still waiting at the hotel."

Li Xuesheng stuffed Chen Shuhua, who was stunned like a puppet, into the passenger seat and closed the car door.

He walked to the back, opened the back door of the car and got in, and told the driver to drive to the Friendship Hotel.

After the three members of the Shen family got into the car, Li Xuesheng took the initiative to sit on Shen Yixuan's lap to relieve the congestion in the back seat.

Seeing that Shen Jincheng and Qi Xiaolan glanced at the passenger seat, he explained: "I just told Xiaohua about my adoption, and he was very shocked. I'm afraid he can't say hello to you now. Usually, he is very polite .”

Shen Jincheng and Qi Xiaolan nodded in understanding, and turned their gazes out of the window.

Li Xuesheng leaned against Shen Yixuan's arms, and closed his eyes wearily.

Shen Yixuan embraced Li Xuesheng with both arms, and comforted him softly in his ear: "Stop blaming yourself. You have done too much for him. How can everything go your way, but please be ashamed of yourself!"

Shen Yixuan's words really touched Li Xuesheng's heart and made him feel very comforted.

28

28. Two sides...

Li Xuesheng opened his eyes slightly, and stretched out his hand to caress the back of Shen Yixuan's hand.

Shen Yixuan turned his hands over to hold Li Xuesheng's small hand, and gently rubbed it in the palm of his hand.

Under Shen Yixuan's silent reassurance, Li Xuesheng felt the exhaustion in his heart gradually disappear.

He secretly thanked Shen Yixuan for his thoughtfulness and care, and silently said "thank you" in his heart.

Because of Chen Shuhua's existence, no one spoke a word along the way.

It was quiet in the carriage, and the atmosphere seemed a little stagnant.

Li Xuesheng curled up in Shen Yixuan's arms, and slowly fell asleep under the other's gentle touch.

Chen Shuhua has been sitting on the passenger seat like a broken puppet, his slightly opened eyes are empty and sad.

When the car arrived at the Pingqiao Town Welfare Institute, curious children swarmed up, chirping like a flock of happy birds.

Chen Shuhua, who had been sitting there for more than an hour, suddenly woke up.

He quickly rubbed his hands to warm them up, wiped his face with stiff muscles, and tried to cheer up.

When he opened the door and got out of the car, he was already a smiling and handsome young man.

As soon as the children saw Chen Shuhua, they immediately jumped on him enthusiastically like fans seeing an idol star.

"Brother Xiaohua..."

Accompanied by a clear and loud call, a little girl flew into Chen Shuhua's arms like a jumping frog.

Chen Shuhua quickly reached out to catch the little girl, and the little girl clung to him like a nimble monkey, hugging his neck tightly.

"Brother Xiaohua, I miss you so much, why haven't you come back to see me?"

The little girl gently rubbed her cheek against Chen Shuhua's neck, coquettishly aggrieved.

"You said last time that if I get 100 points in the test, you will reward me with an eraser. I have already got 3 100 points in the test, but you haven't come back."

Being reminded by the little girl, Chen Shuhua suddenly remembered the promise he made during the summer vacation to motivate the children to study hard.

Thinking that he had completely forgotten about it, he secretly blushed.

"Huai Cuicui, you've been hugging her for too long, come down quickly. Brother Xiaohua is not yours alone!"

The other little girl raised her neck and yelled, stretching out her hand and yanking the little girl in Chen Shuhua's arms.

"Who told you to move slowly, first come, first served! Brother Xiaohua is mine!"

Huai Cuicui lowered her head and made a face at the little girl, stretching her legs to kick her.

Chen Shuhua quickly hugged Huai Cuicui's legs, and reminded loudly: "Cuicui, don't kick your sister!"

"She also kicked me and pulled my hair." Huai Cuicui said confidently, "She and I were both picked up from the side of the road. She only came 3 days later than me. Maybe she is older than me. I'm too old!"

"Even if you are really younger than Honghong, you shouldn't kick her. You are good sisters, and you should love each other." Chen Shuhua coaxed softly, "Be good, be obedient. Go and get the test paper, and I will reward you later You eraser."

When Huai Cuicui heard this, she quickly let go of the hand holding Chen Shuhua's neck, and happily fell to the ground.

Standing in front of Chen Shuhua, Huai Honghong took advantage of the gap where Chen Shuhua bent down to put down Huai Cuicui, and hugged Chen Shuhua's neck tightly, wrapping around Chen Shuhua like an octopus.

"Brother Xiaohua, I scored 4 points in four exams, one more than Cuicui." Huai Honghong hurriedly expressed her merit.

"It's amazing!" Chen Shuhua gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Brother will reward you with an eraser later. Go and show me the test paper."

Huai Hong happily went down to the ground, struggling to squeeze out of the packed crowd, and ran behind Huai Cuicui into the house.

"Brother Xiaohua..."

"Brother Xiaohua..."

The children yelled at the top of their voices, scrambling to climb onto Chen Shuhua's body.

Chen Shuhua seemed to be transformed into a piece of honey, attracting a group of ants to scramble for it.

Seeing the three adults in the Shen family watching this lively scene in surprise, Li Xuesheng explained with a smile: "Xiaohua has been very good since he was a child. He is the first person in Pingqiao Town to be admitted to the No. [-] Middle School in County C, and also the first A person who was admitted to the No. [-] Middle School in H City without examination. He is the spiritual idol of the children in the school. The children like him very much and listen to him the most. Don't look at him because he is young, he is very good at raising children. I am him Bring me up. Dean Liu is too busy with work, so he doesn't have time to take care of me."

Thinking of the scene of 6-year-old Chen Shuhua feeding and urinating himself, teaching himself to read and recognize characters, and looking at Chen Shuhua, who is now thin and black and slender in thin clothes, Li Xuesheng's mood became bitter and heavy.

Shen Yixuan looked at Chen Shuhua who was mingling with the children under the sun, feeling a little admired and also a little confused.

Thinking of Li Xuesheng's description and feelings for Chen Shuhua, he felt that he couldn't see this child clearly.

Li Xuesheng ordered the driver to move the boxes in the trunk of the car to the yard, and then ordered Shen Yixuan to move a round wooden table from the house into the yard in front of the main house.

He lined up boxes containing pencils, erasers, notebooks, and gold coins and chocolates on the table.

Li Xuesheng stood on a wooden chair beside the round table, raised his right arm high, and shouted loudly to the noisy crowd: "Everyone, be quiet, I have something to say."

The noisy children around Chen Shuhua turned their heads to look at Li Xuesheng at the same time, and the noisy yard gradually quieted down.

"Brother Xiaohua won a scholarship from the school because of his excellent academic performance. When he came back this time, he bought you a lot of good things. Do you want them?"

"Yes!" The children immediately replied in unison.

"Then hurry up and line up according to height from short to tall, and keep quiet." Li Xuesheng ordered loudly.

The children quickly lined up in the yard, their bright eyes staring expectantly at Chen Shuhua who was standing aside.

"Very good!" Li Xuesheng praised and said, "Today, an uncle Shen came to take pictures for all of us. After you received the gift from Brother Xiaohua, you stood beside Brother Xiaohua and were alone with him. Group photo. Would you like to?"

"Yes!" The children answered in unison, raising their voices.

After hearing this, Shen Jincheng hurried to the back of the car and took out the Ricoh SLR camera from the trunk.

Qi Xiaolan saw that Li Xuesheng managed a group of children, big and small, submissively like a little adult, her eyes showed admiration, and she secretly praised him for his bright future.

Looking at the enthusiastic little faces under the sun, Chen Shuhua felt extremely kind.

He quickly walked in front of Li Xuesheng who was already on the ground, and stared at the other party's two Wang Qiushui with complicated eyes.
